Chapter 163: Chapter 152: Though Ah Mian Is Dead, His Will Remains
Moreover, this excuse could also let you have me, so why not enjoy it?"
"Smart women never have good endings."
Zeng Yaning let out a light laugh from her mouth: "Do I look like someone who’s going to have a good ending? I stopped caring about having a good ending long ago. For the rest of my life, I just want to live happily."
"It seems Lu Mao really hurt you deeply."
"He didn’t hurt me deeply; it’s society that hurt me. If I had the ability to bring down Lu Mao without borrowing your hand, would I need to resort to such tactics?"
Gu Bai walked to Zeng Yaning’s side, gently picked her up, and looked into her eyes, saying lightly.
"Even if it’s only for one night, you’re still my woman, Zeng Yaning. Remember, the word ’vulgar’ will never be associated with you from today onward."
"Little brother, you’re still as domineering as you were during the day."
"But you’re different from the day."
"Are you thinking I’m more intriguing at night?"
"You really have a good sense of self-awareness."
After a few minutes of tenderness, Gu Bai stood up and said: "Are you planning to stay here, or will you come with me?"
"Every second I stay in this place makes me feel nauseated."
Gu Bai nodded too, not saying much more; the two of them walked out of the room together.
The bodyguard at the door saw Gu Bai come out and skimmed over Zeng Yaning with a glance, not taking another look. Zeng Yaning looked beautiful after being soothed, but their strong professional etiquettes prevented them from taking a second look.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Bai also comforted the two briefly, holding Zeng Yaning as they walked toward the elevator.
Lu Mao, who was at the elevator, saw Gu Bai and Zeng Yaning approaching, but had nowhere to hide. Finally, the three of them met directly at the elevator.
Originally, Lu Mao wanted to go down with Gu Bai, but this past hour had calmed him down. Seeing Gu Bai now, he didn’t even have any intention of fighting back. His weak character accepted the title of a cuckold.
"President Lv? You wouldn’t have been here this whole time, would you?"
"Ah! Young Master Gu, what a coincidence."
Hearing Lu Mao’s response, Gu Bai chuckled mockingly: "It really is quite the coincidence."
"Don’t worry, President Lv. I’ll make sure Yaning divorces you quickly. If there’s nothing else, Yaning and I will head back first, as we’re quite tired."
Zeng Yaning, who was wrapped around Gu Bai’s arm, blushed and said nothing.
"It should be this way. Zeng Yaning and I never consummated or had feelings, so just consider her single."
Gu Bai gave Lu Mao a thumbs-up, saying: "President Lv is magnanimous. What happened tonight at the bar was my fault; I’ll treat you to tea another day to apologize."
"Young Master Gu, you’re too kind."
Despite wishing he could kill Gu Bai, Lu Mao had to forcibly suppress his anger, putting on a smiling face and exchanging pleasantries with Gu Bai.
"We’ll be leaving then. President Lv, if you have the time, you might want to tidy up the room; it got a bit messy. After all, it’s your house, and it’s more comfortable to live in a clean place."
Lu Mao could only smile awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived shortly, and Gu Bai didn’t stay too long for conversation, holding Zeng Yaning as they walked straight into the elevator.
"President Lv, I think you resemble an ancient king a lot. You might want to search Zhang Ao online; you might become such a great figure yourself."
Just as the elevator door was about to close, Zeng Yaning gave Lu Mao a cold stare, with no emotions in her eyes.
"Why did you say so much to him?"
Gu Bai patted her hair with a gentle laugh: "Doesn’t this seem satisfying enough for you?"
"Actually, your attack targeting his heart was quite something. Didn’t you notice his face almost turned beet red, yet he still had to smile in front of you?"
"People like him are often the most terrifying; those who can endure, once they seize an opportunity, can soar to great heights. The conflict between him and me can no longer be reconciled, so this time I must ensure he never has the chance to threaten me again.
After all, I really hate trouble."
Zeng Yaning, inside, began to look forward to it more and more.
"Then what did you mean by saying he’s like Zhang Ao?"
"Don’t you know Zhang Ao?"
Zeng Yaning lightly shook her head.
"When you have some time, search for the keywords ’Zhang Ao and Liu Bang’ on a search engine, and you’ll get the answer you want."
The elevator slowly descended.
Gu Bai suddenly realized he has quite a wicked sense of humor as well.
Logically, he wasn’t surnamed Cao, so how could he do something like this?
That phrase, "There never really was a Cao贼 in this world, or everyone is a Cao贼," turns out to be spot on. Given a chance, no man would refuse to become a Cao贼.
Ah Mian is dead, but his spirit lives on!
