Became a vicious male mother

78

Under such an oppressive gaze, Gu Xinglan looked at him for only two seconds before quickly looking away, saying weakly, "Never mind, this outfit cost you a lot of money, it would be a waste not to wear it."

This person didn't seem like someone who wanted him to go back and change his clothes.

"Why don't you tell me why you asked me to come here so late at night?" Gu Xinglan asked, placing the form she had filled out that morning in front of the man.

He could have just gone to the company himself; the fact that this person made a special trip means he has something else to discuss with him.

People come and go around him, and every time someone passes by, he can feel the scrutinizing gazes—some disdainful, some admiring, and some envious.

But he couldn't adapt to either one.

"Get in the car first," Li Taihe said, opening the car door and gesturing for him to enter.

As a result, it made a crisp "bang" sound, like a watermelon being split open.

Gu Xinglan, who is 1.8 meters tall, accidentally bumped her forehead against the car door frame while getting into the car, almost knocking her wig off.

His face contorted in pain, and he writhed in his seat.

As for Li Taihe, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and after closing the car door, he got into the driver's seat on his own.

As soon as I entered, the temperature inside the car dropped a few degrees.

Looking in the rearview mirror, the man's face showed none of the tenderness and barely concealed, impatient love he had just shown outside.

What is this guy up to now?

A similar incident happened a couple of days ago, and he was kidnapped. Why is he here again today?

"President Li, what are you doing?" Gu Xinglan covered the spot where she had bumped her head, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a soft and gentle tone, as if afraid of provoking the person in the driver's seat.

As a result, the closer we got, the clearer our view became.

Li Taihe's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Now I can guess what's going on in my head.

Yesterday was full of complicated events. Just the things that happened at his villa in Changgu: before dawn, the threshold of the villa was almost worn down by delivery packages and people carrying things. The gifts sent ranged from a life-sized jade Buddha made of Dushan jade to a cornflower blue sapphire from Kashmir. Not to mention, at the company, he was probably spinning like a top, with the phone in his office constantly ringing with the phones of partner companies, companies that wanted to cooperate, and subsidiaries of the group.

In business, harmony brings wealth. It was only after Li Hetai took over that the Li family no longer had to worry about anyone's feelings and could practically do whatever they wanted.

But now, aside from the businesses that can't be brought to the forefront, it seems the Li family still has a long way to go.

The black Bentley was a car this person had just bought recently, and it drove around in the night for a long time.

Gu Xinglan sat in the workshop, the lingering scent of the original car air freshener filling his nostrils, with a faint hint of spikenard. He remained silent, his eyes occasionally glancing at the expressionless face reflected in the rearview mirror.

Until the car slows down a bit.

Through the car window, several large characters were reflected in the water... Polyanne.

hotel?

Is there some kind of cocktail party?

Gu Xinglan smoothed her hair.

This person actually brought him out into the public eye?

"There's an auction here tomorrow, so let's stay here for the night."

Li Taihe handed the car keys to the waiter who was leaning forward outside the window.

As soon as the man got out of the car, that familiar mask reappeared on his face.

Without pausing, Gu Xinglan quickly opened the car door and stuck her foot out.

This time, however, Li Taihe would place his hand on the car door frame where he got out of the car and protect his head.

With an inquisitive look in her eyes, Gu Xinglan slowly moved her gaze from the other person's face to their surroundings, trying to find something amiss.

But the next second, the man's cold voice rang out: "Take my hand."

The voice was low and soft, like ice that had remained unchanged for millennia underground.

Gu Xinglan was extremely obedient, repeatedly raising her right hand and gently embracing the man through his arms.

He glanced furtively at the person next to him.

This person suddenly became unpredictable.

"Taiga, if you're unhappy about anything, you can talk to me about it." He spoke softly.

He's a professional at listening; he can build rapport and get the information he needs.

……

The rain has stopped and the clouds have dispersed; a quick calculation shows that it will soon be the fifteenth of August.

The moon hangs high, casting a soft glow. What is reflected in this person's eyes is not the mottled and restless neon lights polluted by light pollution, but the clear and bright moonlight, as pure as jade. Just by looking at someone like this, all restlessness and vexation are subdued.

Li Taihe gently shook his head: "I brought you here today mainly to relax."

Relax?

The word "relaxation" has never felt real to him since he came into this world.

But... a 62-story apartment with a pool table, a small bar, a small outdoor swimming pool, a two-meter-wide bed, a whole wall of projection screens, a whole wall of antique game discs and game figurines, not to mention the soft music playing in the background.

Everywhere you look, there are translucent crystals that shimmer with a faint yellow light, like a palace in the sky or a themed room tailor-made for young people, a contradiction between the old and the new.

"Like it?"

Li Taihe asked casually, placed the room card in the recessed area of ​​the entrance hall, and after placing the room card, slowly turned his head to see the reaction of the person next to him.

There were no surprises, no amazing moments, and the reaction was extremely lukewarm.

Seeing this, Li Taihe asked again, "Don't you like it?"

“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just…” He seemed to have seen bigger and more magnificent places.

Having seen pearls, why would one be interested in fish eyes?

Gu Xinglan thought of the 160-plus-layer golden cage in her previous life, and couldn't help but feel resentful.

"Do I need to make an appearance at tomorrow's auction?"

“No need, just show me your skills.” Li Taihe walked to the bar and took a bottle of whiskey from the liquor cabinet.

The fingers holding the bottle were long and slender with distinct knuckles, gently gliding over the bottle of whiskey that shimmered with amber and crystal luster.

The opening of the bottle was done with practiced ease. Soon, with a "pop," the wine slowly poured into the decanter as the bottle tilted, elegant yet subtly suggestive.

The dim light illuminated the man's sharply defined profile, giving him an air of coldness and profundity. His tailored suit billowed slightly with each bartending movement, outlining his broad shoulders and muscular waist...

This scene was only captured by the air.

Gu Xinglan's gaze was drawn to the scenery outside, and she slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

It wasn't the monotonous steel jungle that attracted me, but rather the naked-eye 3D screen, one of Wushui's landmark buildings, whose projected name was too suggestive.

Gu Xingxing, coincidentally, is only one character different from him.

Not to mention that the names on the screen are all pointing towards the hotel.

"Did you prepare that too?"

Gu Xinglan pointed to the screen below.

Unbeknownst to him, the person had already walked up behind him, holding the body of a wine glass in both hands.

A layer of icy mist covered the inside of the glass, through which the dark orange liquid could be faintly seen.

The man did not answer his question. Instead, he leaned down slightly, his eyes filled with a tenderness and affection rarely seen in his daily life, and gently handed the wine glass to him.

"Taste it."

His voice was deep and magnetic, unlike anything I'd heard before, which, combined with his handsome face that was both striking and full of life, made him incredibly sexy.

With both visual and auditory discomfort, this person became someone he didn't recognize.

Gu Xinglan's gaze wandered, feeling hot all over. She turned her face away, took the wine glass, and stammered, "You can just say what's wrong... I'll do my best to help you with whatever I can."

"It's nothing. Didn't I tell you to come here and relax?" Li Taihe raised his wine glass to him. "I like wine that's a bit bitter. I hope you won't mind."

A camera! Where is this camera hidden?!

It was extremely rare for this person to treat him with such politeness.

The person who praises me is probably after something from me. By the same token, Li Taihe must be hiding something...
