After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Wanqiao arrived at Qingyuzhai on time to keep the appointment.

"Miss Xiang, please come in."

Led by the waiter, she came to the door of the designated box.

In the box, the aroma of tea permeated the air, bringing with it a faint fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.

Gu Wenhua was sitting at the tea table, holding a cup of tea and sipping it carefully.

He was wearing simple but elegant clothes, his eyes were deep and hard to read, yet he seemed to be able to see through everything, and he exuded a unique aura in his every move.

"Uncle Gu." Xiang Wanqiao stood at the door and called him politely.

Gu Wenhua's attitude remained cold. When he saw Xiang Wanqiao coming, he raised his chin slightly and motioned for her to come in and sit down.

Xiang Wanqiao nodded, walked gracefully to the pine chair opposite Gu Wenhua, gently stroked the hem of her skirt with her hand, and sat down slowly and gracefully.

The door of the box was slowly closed by the waiter, and she and Gu Wenhua were the only two people in the huge box.

There was a moment of silence.

Xiang Wanqiao was confused and broke the silence first: "Uncle Gu asked me out today, why?"

Gu Wenhua remained silent and didn't even look up at her, looking as if he was trying to keep a secret.

He slowly and methodically fiddled with the exquisite tea set on the tea table; each movement seemed so profound, as if he was silently telling an unknown secret.

Gu Wenhua didn't say anything, and Xiang Wanqiao didn't ask any further questions.

She sat quietly opposite him, her eyes inadvertently falling on Gu Wenhua's busy and focused hands, and a strange emotion inexplicably surged in her heart.

After a while, Gu Wenhua finally stopped what he was doing, poured a cup of tea, and pushed the cup in front of Xiang Wanqiao.

"No hurry, let's have a cup of tea first."

Xiang Wanqiao didn't understand what Gu Wenhua meant. What was the purpose of asking her out today? She couldn't help but become more alert.

Gu Wenhua seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I won't poison the tea."

Hearing this, Xiang Wanqiao relaxed a little.

She pursed her lips, slowly picked up the cup of tea in front of her, and took a sip.

The tea has a fresh and elegant aroma, a hint of sweetness and a smooth taste. It is indeed a rare good tea.

Xiang Wanqiao put down the tea cup, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her bright red lips, and she praised: "This tea is really good."

As soon as the words fell, suddenly——

"Do you like Gu Jingzhan?"

Gu Wenhua asked her a question that had no beginning or end.

Xiang Wanqiao was slightly stunned, the smile on her lips gradually deepened, and she answered firmly: "I don't like him, I love him. I love Gu Jingzhan."

After hearing her answer, there was no extra change on Gu Wenhua's face. His eyes were calm and deep. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Xiang Wanqiao said with a hint of sarcasm: "Uncle Gu, you asked me to meet you today. Are you trying to find out about our relationship?"

Gu Wenhua said indifferently: "I am not interested in what happened between you two."

Xiang Wanqiao raised her eyebrows slightly and continued to ask in confusion: "Then you..."

Seeing that Gu Wenhua was reluctant to tell her the purpose of asking her out today, she felt a little anxious.

"No hurry." Gu Wenhua raised his hand to check the time on his watch and interrupted her calmly, "Wait another half an hour."

Xiang Wanqiao had no idea what he wanted to do, but facing Gu Wenhua's calm and indifferent aura, she could only be patient and wait with him quietly.

Half an hour later, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open with a sharp noise.

Xiang Wanqiao turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

The person who came was none other than Gu Jingzhan.

Gu Jingzhan's face was gloomy. His cold eyes swept across her and fell on Gu Wenhua's face, then he strode into the box.

"Ah Zhan..." Xiang Wanqiao said with a hint of uneasiness.

Gu Jingzhan did not respond to her. He came to her side, pulled her up from the seat, and then held her tightly in his arms.

His eyes were dark and scary, and he asked Gu Wenhua in a cold voice: "What did you do to her?"

Gu Wenhua always maintained a calm and composed attitude, as if everything was under his control.

He calmly sipped his tea and said in a gentle voice, "Since you don't want to talk to me, I have no choice but to invite Miss Xiang over for a cup of tea to force you to show up."

After hearing this, Xiang Wanqiao finally understood Gu Wenhua's true purpose.

It turned out that he wanted to use her to force Gu Jingzhan to submit.

She couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken for Gu Jingzhan.

Xiang Wanqiao turned her head and looked at Gu Jingzhan with a guilty look. She quietly squeezed his hand, trying to comfort him.

Gu Jingzhan looked down at Xiang Wanqiao, then held her hand and squeezed her palm, signaling her not to worry or be afraid.

His voice was cold and emotionless as he replied, "There is nothing to talk about between us."

After saying that, Gu Jingzhan was about to hug Xiang Wanqiao and leave.

Gu Wenhua threatened: "Today I just invited Miss Xiang to come over for a cup of tea, but I don't know what method I will use next time."

Gu Jingzhan was filled with sinister hostility, his eyes instantly filled with anger, he clenched his back teeth and squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a friendly reminder." Gu Wenhua's tone was much calmer.

Xiang Wanqiao listened to their explosive conversation from the side and knew that there was no way to avoid it this time, so she could only face it head on.

She reached out and tugged at the hem of Gu Jingzhan's suit jacket, gave him a soothing look, and signaled him to calm down.

Gu Jingzhan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes instantly subsided a little.

Xiang Wanqiao turned to face Gu Wenhua, smiled faintly, and said, "Since Uncle Gu has something to discuss, let's sit down and have a good chat."

Gu Wenhua looked at Gu Jingzhan who still had his back to him.

After listening to Xiang Wanqiao's words, Gu Jingzhan's rigid attitude seemed to begin to loosen, and a faint smile flashed in his indifferent eyes.

"Miss Xiang is a sensible child." He couldn't help but praise her.

Xiang Wanqiao chuckled and asked Gu Wenhua, "Uncle Gu, you don't mind me sitting next to you and listening to your conversation, right?"

Gu Wenhua did not refuse, and nodded in response: "I don't mind."

Xiang Wanqiao immediately pulled Gu Jingzhan's hand and asked him to sit in the seat she had just sat in, and then she moved to the side.

Although Gu Jingzhan was reluctant, he still listened to Xiang Wanqiao and sat down on the chair opposite Gu Wenhua.

He unbuttoned his suit jacket, not wanting to waste time with Gu Wenhua, and said expressionlessly: "Just tell me what you want to say, my time is precious."

Gu Wenhua was neither impatient nor anxious, and began to fiddle with the exquisite tea set on the table.
