Chapter 116

Tao Ruan was happy about being able to go to Gu Zhizhou’s workplace.

Although she had no intention of interfering with her boyfriend’s work, when you like someone, it’s inevitable to want to know more about them.

Before leaving, Tao Ruan specially put together an outfit and did her makeup. Gu Zhizhou waited downstairs at her dormitory, standing by the car door, holding roses in his hands.

“Why are you sending flowers again?” Tao Ruan asked, puzzled.

“This bouquet is a different color than the previous ones.” Gu Zhizhou opened the car door for her and gentlemanly invited her to get in.

“All right.”

Tao Ruan took the roses and was about to go to the car, but before she went in, she turned back, hugged Gu Zhizhou’s neck, and gave him a kiss on tiptoe.

“This is to express my gratitude; thank you for the roses you sent me.”

After saying that, the girl hugged the bouquet and got into the car. From Gu Zhizhou’s angle, he could see her slightly reddened neck and the fine downy hair on it.

cute.

Tao Ruan is really cute.

The gathering took place in an apartment near their studio. A few people went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, put the table together, and started making hot pot.

“How cozy!” Tao Ruan smiled gently.

“We also said we wanted to go out to eat, to book a private restaurant, to have a good meal, but Brother Gu insisted that we could just stay here, and told us to do things the way we usually do.” The speaker was a tall, thin man.

“I’m not picky, this place is fine.” Tao Ruan’s eyes crinkled into a smile.

The skinny man stared blankly, muttering, “Sister-in-law, you are really beautiful.”

Gu Zhizhou glanced at him coldly.

The skinny guy immediately grinned, scratching his head sheepishly, “Sorry, Brother Gu, your wife is really stunning, I just couldn’t help but glance at her a couple more times.”

People arrived one after another, greeting Tao Ruan one by one. Tao Ruan sat next to Gu Zhizhou, took his hand, and greeted them all. Then she asked curiously, “Aren’t there any girls here?”

The loud voice that appeared in the previous video shouted: “Girl? Sister-in-law, don’t you know that our Brother Gu has gynophobia? Our company doesn’t hire women at all, even the receptionist is a married gay man.”

Another chubby classmate pushed up his glasses and reminded him, “What gynophobia? Don’t talk nonsense. Gu-ge and his wife are doing just fine, aren’t they?”

“Hey, your sister-in-law cured Brother Gu, but judging from her looks, if it were me…” The tall guy swallowed hard, feeling Gu Zhizhou’s death stare, and immediately changed his words, “If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to be interested either, hehe, Brother Gu, only you and your sister-in-law are a perfect match!”

Gu Zhizhou placed his hand on the back of Tao Ruan’s chair and said calmly, “It’s good that you know.”

Tao Ruan smiled again.

She enjoyed the hotpot meal very much, and under Gu Zhizhou’s watchful eye, she added a few more people to her friend list for easier communication.

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I’ll keep an eye on Lao Gu for you. If he shows any unusual behavior, I’ll report it to you immediately!”

“There isn’t a single woman in our company, so what could be unusual?”

“No women means no problems? Don’t forget the first time we hired that effeminate receptionist, didn’t he confess to Brother Gu? It’s clear that it’s not just women who are dangerous… Of course, sister-in-law, don’t worry, our Brother Gu fired that guy without saying a word, not giving him any chance at all.”

Tao Ruan looked at Gu Zhizhou: “Is there such a thing?”

Gu Zhizhou responded somewhat awkwardly, “Mm.”

“By the way, sister-in-law,” the others were still enthusiastically introducing Tao Ruan, “and it’s kind of strange, the receptionist we hired later turned out to be gay. You know what’s wrong with our company’s receptionist position, why does it attract so many gay guys?”

Tao Ruan asked curiously, “Didn’t he come today?”

“His girlfriend is very strict. She picks him up as soon as he gets off work and doesn’t let him come to our dinner party.”

“That’s because the regulations are a bit too strict.”

Tao Ruan was not good at socializing, but Gu Zhizhou’s friends were all very friendly to her, and some of them had met before, so they gradually started chatting.

Later, when she got into a good mood, Tao Ruan even drank some wine.

One or two cups were fine, but after four or five cups, Tao Ruan started to blush.

“A-Zhou,” Tao Ruan leaned into Gu Zhizhou’s arms automatically and asked him, “Can I have some more?”

Gu Zhizhou looked down at her.

People around them laughed and joked, saying that Tao Ruan was too obedient, even asking her boyfriend for permission to drink. Tao Ruan didn’t mind and continued to snuggle against Gu Zhizhou’s shoulder, asking Gu Zhizhou, “Is it okay?”

She was a little drunk.

Gu Zhizhou patted her head, put some meat in her bowl, and said gently, “If you want to drink, have some more. I won’t drink alcohol today, so I can take care of you.”

“I knew you were the best.”

Tao Ruan hugged Gu Zhizhou’s neck and leaned in to give him a light kiss.

A chorus of cheers erupted around them, but Tao Ruan ignored it. She poured herself a drink, raised her glass, and smiled brightly at Gu Zhizhou with a tipsy smug look on her face: “Cheers! I’ll toast you!”
