However, even if Gu Shaocheng could tell from her breathing that she wasn’t asleep, he acted otherwise, signaling to everyone that this is a girl he held in high esteem.
Who would dare to belittle and despise her?
It felt as though they had been sentenced to stand.
No matter how tired they were, they had to stand properly in front of this powerful man.
After a full hour, their feet were sore, eyes heavy as weights.
How long should they continue standing in the living room and what on earth was this imposing man going to do, were they just going to watch him as his woman slept in his arms? Regardless of whether it was due to packaging, in that mont, several won started to feel envious.
They wished they could take her place and lie in the arms of such a handso man.
Being handled so delicately by him, so attentive when out and so appealing in front of their peers.
The key point was not just any potbellied man, but a top-tier handso man who showed might and consideration.
In the end, Chenxing couldn’t bear it any longer. She delicately nudged the flesh around Gu Shaocheng’s waist. She was truly exhausted, indeed.
The corners of Gu Shaocheng’s mouth tilted upward, wondering how long this girl would keep up with this charade.
Such modesty was astoundingly cute.
Then he stood up holding her and gently placed her on the car before covering her with a blanket, and stealing a kiss: "Wait inside the car, I’ll be back shortly."
Afterward, his face void of any smiles.
Gu Shaocheng took a mont to sit alone in silence, while everyone remained standing, dutiful and attentive. Their sleepiness dispelled by the chilling surrounding air.
The mood was oppressive.
The atmosphere grew tense.
His eyes were half open as he lazily reclined against the sofa, his expressions sunken and muted, restful as water, expressionless to the point of intimidating anyone who dared to face him.
It wasn’t until he opened his eyes fully, then scanning the room like a king touring his domain, that he finally broke the silence.
After a pause, he spoke for the first ti in an hour, "Who among you, is willing to check out on your own tonight? Step forward."
Several people boldly stepped forward.
"Manager Liang, you can collect the check for their expenses while staying in the hotel from them."
Gu Shaocheng didn’t acknowledge them, but instead turned to the hotel manager, his tone suggesting a discussion. The strange favoritism made the hotel manager nearly faint from surprise.
"Fine, alright."
The obsequious reply ca after ntal calculations that interpreted President Gu’s intent.
"Three nights’ accommodation is six thousand each, food is rather expensive which totals thirty-eight thousand each... plus other miscellaneous costs, each person pays around 100,000. Seeing as it’s on President Gu’s accord, I’ll give you a 10% discount, making it 90,000 each."
"What the hell! Are you robbing ? The als I’ve had only cost around thirty-eight thousand, and the other expenses, I didn’t have that many. Where should I get that kind of money?"
One of the n nearly collapsed from shock upon hearing the total cost from the hotel manager; he could not afford it.
The hotel manager cleared his throat: "That’s just the cost price for you all. Do you think you’ve been eating at so dingy diner?"
