My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 120: 120 Ye Mengyan Starts to Drift_1

We’re both adults, a man and a woman, and I’m just his subordinate, so by all means, we shouldn’t be sleeping in the same room.

When we told the reception we wanted to book a room, they were quick to begin rattling off the advantages of the various rooms.

“The roof of the Starry Sky Room is transparent. You can lie in bed and stargaze all night after turning off the lights. The Mushroom Room is close to the hot springs, and there are rabbits in the vicinity. We also have special couple-themed suites.”

The receptionist was very straightforward, and even suggested we might choose the hot spring room if we were after excitement.

I was a bit embarrassed listening to all this.

But Gu Yuanzhou seemed completely unaffected, not showing a hint of shyness.

He certainly has a thick skin.

Seeing him playing dumb, I had to remind him,

“President Gu, this place isn’t suitable for me. My house is not far from here, and I plan to drive back later. You can choose any room you like.”

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me,

“We’re staying overnight. We’re not going home tonight.”

Quite clearly, does he intend to share a room with me?

“President Gu…”

Even before I could say something, he impatiently cut me off,

“Choose a room you like, let’s not waste time!”

“Okay… the Starry Sky Room then!”

I am not the fairy-tale type, so I definitely wouldn’t choose the cutesy Mushroom Room.

The Starry Sky Room has standard beds, two of them, so even if we’re sleeping in the same room, we can avoid awkwardness by each having our own bed.

Once he’d chosen the room, Gu Yuanzhou paid by card, and we got the room key from the reception.

“Do you need us to show you to your room?”

“No need!”

Gu Yuanzhou declined the offer of the receptionist.

“President Gu, do you want to go to the room now?”

He glanced at his phone,

“It’s still early, just after nine! Let’s find a place to eat!”

I pointed to the village ahead and said,

“There’s a farmhouse restaurant up ahead, they do a really good wood-fired chicken.”

“You lead the way!”

Gu Yuanzhou seemed somewhat preoccupied. Usually, at the office, he would briskly walk in front of me.

But tonight, he was walking slowly, looking around as though he was admiring something, or seeking something.

Since he had been drinking earlier, I was wondering if he was still sober yet?

Luckily, the farmhouse wasn’t far, and we arrived after a ten-minute walk.

“President Gu, what would you like to eat? Besides wood-fired chicken, they have some local dishes here which are quite good.”

“Just order one of each!”

“Okay!”

I had just placed the order when Gu Yuanzhou’s phone rang again.

As I gathered the chopsticks, I noticed the name flashing on the screen was Ye Mengyan.

Gu Yuanzhou got up and answered the call outside.

I took out my phone and turned on the surveillance camera hidden inside the teddy bear in the finance office.

The camera in the teddy bear connected to my phone. I opened it to see what Yuan Li had been up to.

To my surprise, Yuan Li had taken the teddy bear home with her after work. Therefore, I could clearly see who she met on the way…

Later, she left the teddy bear in the car, and a man joined her.

I only was able to watch for about ten minutes, but I was already taken aback. Yuan Li was not as simple as she appeared, she was capable of doing such things.

Just as I was about to take a closer look, Gu Yuanzhou came back in.

I quickly turned off the camera.

“President Gu!”

“Mm!”

By now, all the dishes had arrived and the wood-fired chicken was ready to eat.

As soon as the lid was lifted, a burst of aroma hit our noses.

Gu Yuanzhou picked up the spoon and scooped me a bowl of soup first, adding some coriander.

I pushed the bowl back towards him,

“President Gu, you can have this one!”

“Why, is there something wrong?”

“Uh, I don’t eat coriander, I dislike its flavor.”

I never liked coriander since I was a kid.

He looked at me in silence, then ladled another bowl of soup for me.

“Actually, coriander is pretty good, you should try it!”

“No, I don’t like the taste. Some people find coriander fragrant, but I think it smells like bugs.”

Gu Yuanzhou shook his head.

He then tried a few dishes.

He served me some soybean pickle with preserved egg, stir-fried minced pork with celery…

But I rejected both these dishes. I neither accept preserved egg, nor do I like celery.

I seriously thought about it, and I seem to dislike foods with strong flavors.

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say anything and kept sipping on his drink.

He was watching me, occasionally looking at something on his phone.

“President Gu, was that Miss Ye calling just now?”

To ease the awkward atmosphere, I asked casually.

“Mm!”

He didn’t avoid the topic.

The Golden Bay arson case had gradually subsided after all.

When the crime was first committed, the media had been all over it, with countless netizens teary-eyed, calling Gu Yuanzhou a jerk.

He indeed did have some concerns for a while.

But people tend to be forgetful. After three months, most people probably forgot about the incident.

And Gu Yuanzhou wouldn’t have to worry about negative news anymore.

If it weren’t for my objection, Ye Mengyan was probably on her way to becoming Mrs. Gu.

“Did Miss Ye not find the things I bought for her today useful?”

“No, it’s just that it’s quite far, and the transportation isn’t convenient… She wants a car!”

I sneered silently to myself. Sure enough, Ye Mengyan isn’t pretending to be innocent anymore, now she’s bold enough to straight up ask for a car.

“Is President Gu going to buy one for her?”

“She said the company’s funds are tight right now, and she doesn’t want me to spend the money, what a considerate girl!”

I replied indifferently, “So?”

“Oh, she just wants to borrow your BMW!”

Gu Yuanzhou said nonchalantly.

I almost wanted to curse.

So, after all the fuss, she calculates everything to my account and wants my car. If she wants my car, she should just say so instead of saying she wants to borrow it!

Gu Yuanzhou is the boss, if he asks me for something, can I really refuse?

It seemed to me that Ye Mengyan was indirectly threatening me, warning me not to have designs on Gu Yuanzhou.

At this moment, I realized that this young girl was much more complicated than I had imagined.

“So, you don’t agree?”

Gu Yuanzhou asked me.

“President Gu, I’m used to driving this car to and from work. The Maple Mansion is too far from the office, and there’s no public transportation. I’m afraid I can’t lend it to her.”

Any employee with a bit of emotional intelligence would agree without hesitation if their boss’s girlfriend wanted to borrow their car.

But not me!

I want to put Gu Yuanzhou in a difficult position and embarrass Ye Mengyan.

I’m curious to see what other tricks Ye Mengyan has up her sleeve!

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me, “How about I let you drive my other Mercedes Benz?”
