C16 Did You Sleep Well Last Night?(part I)

The man's breath caught for a brief moment.

Bo Yandong uncharacteristically refrained from arguing with Gu Zhiwei.

Noticing her unusually low body temperature, he removed his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. "It's chilly tonight. Let me take you home."

Gu Zhiwei nodded, offering no resistance.

The following day, Gu Zhiwei didn't rise until noon, stretching lazily as she awoke.

In the living room, Gu Zhinan was immersed in playing the piano, his music flowing as a gentle breeze tousled his dark chestnut hair.

Gu Zhiwei watched him in silence, then reached out to ruffle his hair, whispering, "Zhinan, would you consider going back to the Gu family?"

"Back to the Gu family?" Gu Zhinan appeared taken aback.

It took a moment before he looked down, chuckling softly, "Dad wouldn't welcome me."

A momentary stiffness in Gu Zhiwei's fingers gave way to a firm grip.

"Don't worry, the Gu family will eventually be yours," she declared with unwavering conviction.

In the CEO's office at Bo's Group, Bo Yandong spun a pen in his hand, his gaze drifting off.

Scenes from the previous night replayed in his mind like a film.

"Yandong, how about coming upstairs for a cup of tea?"

Her seductive, peach blossom eyes gazed at him with such affection.

"Sure." His response surprised even him.

The moment they stepped into the elevator, something felt amiss.

In the living room, the details of who initiated what became a blur.

Her breathy moans filled his ears, stoking a fiery passion within him.

It was his first taste of a woman's kiss and the first time he realized the intensity of his own desires.

Then, just as quickly, she pushed him away, her mood shifting faster than a summer storm.

Without a word, she shoved him out the door.

"Yandong, see you tomorrow."

The door slammed shut behind her, leaving him outside, his blood simmering with unspent fervor.

In his dreams, she clung to his shoulders, her breathy whispers caressing his ear, "Yandong."

He awoke to find that name had never sounded so sweet.

Standing at the foot of his bed, he felt as bewildered as a teenager, unsure of his next move.

"Mr. Bo."

Qin Chuan entered with a set of documents in hand. "Here's all the information on the young madam."

Bo Yandong snapped back to reality and took the documents.

He spent a long time with furrowed brows before finally closing the file.

Gu Zhiwei had been abducted by traffickers, a fact lightly glossed over in the report with a simple note that she had escaped back to the countryside.

But what she endured, only Gu Zhiwei herself truly knew.

At four in the afternoon, Gu Zhiwei received a call from Lin Li.

"Zhiwei, today is Ruoshan's birthday. There's a banquet tonight at the Jun Hao Hotel, and you must come."

Gu Zhiwei's lips curled into a cold smile. "Rest assured, I'll be there."

And not only that, she planned to deliver a gift they'd never forget!

After ending the call, her slender fingertips scrolled through her contacts, stopping on Bo Yandong's name.

"Hello?" came the man's deep, magnetic voice from the other end.

Gu Zhiwei looked down, a faint smile on her face. "Yandong."

Her voice was soft and tender, enough to ensnare the soul.

There was a two-second pause on the line. "What's up?"

"I want to see you. Finish up your work and come get me soon."

Without a word, the man hung up.

Inside the Bo's Group conference room, everyone stared as Bo Yandong walked in, their faces betraying their astonishment.

The notorious workaholic had just left them mid-meeting to take a phone call?

The meeting resumed, but Bo Yandong, usually so sharp and decisive, seemed somewhat distracted.
