After the divorce, she picked up a big brother as a spare tire

Lu Wanqing opened her mouth halfway, her brows twitched slightly, staring at Gu Xiao with confusion and bewilderment.

The latter did not change his face, staring at Lu Wanqing with a pair of dark pupils, seeing that she did not answer, he simply repeated his question again: "Miss Lu, the business of the master's family in Yuncheng is temporarily entrusted to you, would you like to do it?" ?"

After confirming Gu Xiao's words again, Lu Wanqing nodded hastily, not hiding her excitement: "Of course I am willing!"

Gu Xiao nodded, turned his face, and whispered to Su Ye: "Let's send the order together."

Su Ye looked at Lu Wanqing in bewilderment, then glanced at Gu Yunzhong sympathetically, agreed, and left in a hurry.

"Jiuye!" Gu Yunzhong was almost hoarse, "You can't do this. Our Yuncheng Gu family has done a lot for the capital's main family over the years, how can you abandon your shoes like this!"

Gu Xiao didn't reply, but walked forward slowly, smiled at Lu Wanqing, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he took Lu Wanqing's hand and asked her to hold his arm, and he was about to leave with big strides.

Seeing this, Gu Yunzhong caught up and spread his arms in front of Gu Xiao: "Gu Jiuye! You must be so disregarding human feelings, do you have to do this?"

Gu Yunzhong's face was gloomy and his eyes were sharp, but Gu Xiao just raised his hand to block Lu Wanqing indifferently, staring at Gu Yunzhong intently: "The Gu family has a family tradition since they entered the business, but anyone who is in the business of the Gu family must be based on integrity. Don't deceive the old and the young outside, and don't deceive the clansmen inside. I think you have stayed in Yuncheng for a long time, and you have completely forgotten the Gu family's family motto, right?"

Gu Yunzhong was so reprimanded that his face turned red. Although he was full of anger, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only lower his head in frustration.

After a long pause, Gu Yunzhong's hand that was spread in mid-air finally slowly dropped down.

He drooped his head, his eyelids drooped, and he looked lonely.

Gu Xiao pushed Gu Yunzhong away, and said in a deep voice: "If you still think of yourself as the Gu family, and hope to be able to cling to the big tree of the Gu family in the future, the most important thing to do now is to rectify your internal affairs. When the time is right, I will still hand over the business of Yuncheng to you."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiao ignored Gu Yunzhong and walked away with Lu Wanqing.

Everyone in the banquet hall saw that Gu Yunzhong was abandoned by the Gu family, and they didn't want to stay and continue to flatter Gu Yunzhong, so they all bid farewell and left.

in the elevator.

Gu Xiao stood upright in the middle of the elevator, while Lu Wanqing casually leaned against the side of the elevator.

She glanced at Gu Xiao with contempt.

Although the latter looked indifferent, since he met Lu Wanqing just now, he could see that Gu Xiao seemed to have something on his mind.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Wanqing asked in a deep voice.

Gu Xiao's face remained calm and he didn't respond.

Lu Wanqing made fun of herself, asked for sex too much, snorted twice, and stopped looking.

She secretly complained about Gu Xiao, just now she defended herself in every possible way in front of others, but turned around and ignored her, what a weird person.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the lights above the elevator flickering twice.

Lu Wanqing and Gu Xiao raised their heads at the same time.

Incandescent lights flickered wildly, flickering on and off.

There was an eerie creaking sound from the elevator.

Suddenly, the elevator vibrated and plummeted downwards.

Even Lu Wanqing was so shocked that her face paled suddenly.

She subconsciously covered her head, and just about to squat down, she suddenly felt warmth in the back of her head.

Lu Wanqing raised her head halfway, and happened to meet Gu Xiao's profile.

Gu Xiao wrapped his arms around the back of Lu Wanqing's head, pressed her into his arms, and whispered: "Don't be afraid."

The elevator thumped, and then began to fall rapidly.

Fortunately, the floor of the banquet hall was not high. After a few seconds, the elevator finally stopped.

These few seconds of effort are enough to make people tremble with fear.

When the elevator stopped, it was pitch black inside the elevator.

In the darkness, she couldn't see her fingers. Lu Wanqing could only feel Gu Xiao's warm breath spraying on her face little by little.

After a long time, Gu Xiao slowly let go of Lu Wanqing, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

His voice is right next to his ear.

Lu Wanqing could feel Gu Xiao's breathing, and could also hear the suppressed emotions in Gu Xiao's voice.

Lu Wanqing carefully raised her eyes.

In the darkness, she couldn't see Gu Xiao's face clearly, so she had to stretch out her hand, trying to feel Gu Xiao.

Lu Wanqing's fingers met Gu Xiao's palm, and she accidentally found that Gu Xiao's palm was full of sweat.

Lu Wanqing raised her eyes in astonishment, stared at Gu Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Your hand?"

Gu Xiao hurriedly pulled out his hand, stepped aside, stood on the other side of the elevator, took a deep breath, and then said coldly: "There should be elevator maintenance personnel soon, you don't have to worry."

Lu Wanqing could clearly hear the tension in his voice.

It was a sense of tension that had never been shown around Gu Xiao.

She knew that some people would be extremely nervous in a claustrophobic space. Could it be that Gu Xiao also suffers from claustrophobia?
Thinking of this, Lu Wanqing felt that she should say something to ease Gu Xiao's fear.

"Why did you come here?" Lu Wanqing asked in a low voice.

The people over there paused for a long time before slowly saying: "I should ask you this, right? I never thought you would come to the birthday party of my ex-fiancé's father."

Lu Wanqing let out a chuckle, and shook her head helplessly: "If I say that I was also deceived, would you believe me?"

"Cheat?" Gu Xiao snorted coldly, "Master Lu is both civil and military, smart and quick-witted, how can anyone fool you?"

Hearing this, Lu Wanqing felt amused.

With her hands behind her back, she walked carefully towards Gu Xiao.

Relying on her feeling, Lu Wanqing stopped when she was only one step away from Gu Xiao: "Do you really think that I am both civil and military, smart and witty?"

The distance between the two suddenly approached, almost breathing next to each other.

Gu Xiao gradually panted heavily.

Listening to his rapid breathing, Lu Wanqing suddenly felt bad.

Gu Xiao's physical condition is not as good as others, could it be that claustrophobia induced the toxins in his body, causing him to get sick earlier?

Lu Wanqing didn't care about continuing to tease Gu Xiao, she grabbed Gu Xiao's arm and grasped his pulse involuntarily.

The pulse is strong, not like a sickness.

But Gu Xiao's breathing was still messy and heavy, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Gu Xiao, are you okay?" Lu Wanqing asked carefully, "What's wrong?"

As she asked, she stretched out her hand, tentatively grabbing Gu Xiao's other arm.

Suddenly, the elevator shook violently.

Lu Wanqing staggered and fell directly into Gu Xiao's arms.

The two were so close together that Lu Wanqing could almost hear Gu Xiao's heartbeat.

At this moment, the elevator suddenly brightened, and the elevator door was pulled open from the outside, and Su Ye's eager voice came: "Master Jiu, are you alright?"
