Chapter 197 - Better Not Mess With Her
Chapter 197: Better Not Mess With Her
Gu Mang snuggled in her seat, her body in a slanted posture, looking very comfortable. The cell phone was placed in the storage compartment between the two of them. She played the game with her left hand. Her fair fingers were very lively and fast. She hit a combo on the opponent and killed them.
Then she looked up at Lu Chengzhou, her eyebrows raised. Her expression was three parts queer as she said tepidly, “Oh.”
Pausing for a moment, she said slowly as she continued playing the game, “Your subordinate is not good enough. He can’t even beat me.”
Lu Yi heard this and almost sent the car drifting again. If Lu San heard what Gu Mang said, he might just die on the spot.
Lu Chengzhou watched her pretty fingers. She was playing quite a hard game with only one hand and it was her left hand at that. He chuckled. “He can clear the scene for you.”
Gu Mang gave it a second’s thought and nodded.
Lu Yi silently glanced at the girl through the rearview mirror. What kind of super big boss was she?!
…
At Seal Palace.
Gu Mang came out of the shower, her hair half dried as she pressed a clean white towel on top of her head. Languidly, she walked to the table and sat down, turned on the computer, and leaned back against the chair.
On the black map with green lines, there were several red dots. They were all within Ming City.
“It’s okay,” said a tepid voice.
In the next second, a line of words appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. Gu Mang shot a glance at it and gave a chilly glare of disapproval. “For the last time, stop being nosy.”
When she pressed a key on the keyboard, the small microphone symbol on the screen disappeared.
She crossed her legs and stretched her hands out straight, her wrists resting casually on the table as she tapped her fingers.
She stared at the computer with a chilly gaze. She was fearsome and it was best not to mess with her. The cell phone next to the computer vibrated and she looked away from the computer and picked it up with a blank expression.
In the special communication software, the user was named “Yan”.
“Big boss, are you taking adult university entrance exams?” The other party seemed to be trying to get her to accept the chat.
It took a pretty long time before he finally asked. Gu Mang didn’t intend to give a reply. She casually tossed the cell phone on the table, closed the computer, got up, and walked out of the main bedroom.
She exuded an insuppressible stifling aura from all over her body.
In the open kitchen.
Lu Chengzhou was cooking congee with one hand in his pocket and a wooden spoon in the other as he slowly stirred the pot.
Gu Mang took a look. Instead of going over to him, she turned a corner and went up to the bookshelf, pulled out an English novel she was halfway through reading, and sat down on the sofa with it.
There were five boxes of chocolates on the coffee table. She opened a box and tossed a white chocolate in her mouth. Her cold expression melted a little.
She continued to read the novel.
In the room, there was only the sound of congee boiling slowly and the sound of Gu Mang flipping the pages.
After some time, Gu Mang went quiet. Lu Chengzhou turned and realized that she had fallen asleep on the sofa. Startled, he turned down the flame and went to the sofa.
Seeing the book flipped to the middle in her hand, he leaned over slightly. With a light and slow movement, he tried to take the book out of her hands and put it aside.
The moment he touched the book, Gu Mang suddenly opened her eyes.
Her black, bright eyes met his. Lu Chengzhou was a little startled.
Her eyes were very bright and reddened with a wolf-like chilliness to it that was intimidating. It was the look of someone who was guarded.
Neither of them spoke as they looked at each other.
Looking at the drops of sweat on her forehead, Lu Chengzhou took the English novel from her hand and placed it on the coffee table. His voice was soft and deep as he said, “You had a nightmare?”
