Gu mohan didn't take it seriously, but ye zhiqiao couldn't get over it. Today's events were all because of her. If she hadn't lied to Li Ruonan to pick him up, then the subsequent quarrels and fights and the fact that gu father had angered gu mohan because he thought there was a problem with the company's management wouldn't have happened.
A piece of rice that was just picked up fell back into the bowl. Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and poked at the few plump grains of rice with chopsticks as she said apologetically, "It's all my fault. If I had known this, I should have stopped provoking Li Ruonan. If I hadn't said anything to make her angry on purpose after that, she and gu chengyan wouldn't have gotten into this mess."
"Stop thinking about it!" Gu mohan nodded at the table, motioning for her to eat quickly, then said, "Actually, I am very happy today. You can be tough and not be stubborn anymore. This is more reassuring than anything else."
Ye zhiqiao wrinkled her small face and raised her head. She said sadly, "But uncle scolded you. Don't you feel uncomfortable? You're usually annoyed when people talk to you in a good voice. Can you stand being scolded?"
"Hehe..."
Gu mohan snorted and laughed. He raised his hand to touch her hair and shook his head, "How do you know me so well? Are you afraid I can't stand it? Let me tell you, I grew up under my father's curse, and I'm already immune!"
"But..."
Seeing that ye zhiqiao still had an unconcerned and apologetic look on her face, gu mohan quickly stuffed a tomato into her mouth and then said, "Okay, okay, this is over. Don't mention it again! In the future, just like you are today, you can fight back as much as you want. Be tough and show your courage. Even if our relationship is not public, it's not fair to be bullied in your own company."
"... Ye zhiqiao puffed her mouth and refused to comment on gu mohan's suggestion.
Gu mohan knew what she was like. It was okay for her to do good deeds or suffer some dumb losses. It was really difficult for her to bully others. But this is the current society, especially in the gu family, which is a big and ruthless workplace. If she didn't have to protect herself in some special way, she would be trampled to death sooner or later.
This was also one of the reasons why he didn't agree with ye zhiqiao coming to gu's. His ye zhiqiao should live a clean and pure life, without worrying about life, without wasting time and taking risks with irrelevant people.
Thinking about ye zhiqiao's current situation, gu mohan couldn't help but feel worried and heartbroken. He forgot to eat the food that was put in his mouth and stared at her directly. The feelings in his eyes were undisguised.
Ye zhiqiao could feel the heat in her eyes. When she looked up at gu mohan's eyes, she almost spat out a mouthful of soup. She hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, then asked with a stifled smile, "What are you doing? Why do I look like I'm looking at a photo? Am I not living well here?"
"Crow's mouth!" Gu mohan scolded her angrily, but the tenderness in his tone was about to come out.
Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and patted her face as if she were punishing her.
The actions and expressions of both of them were ambiguous couples, close and natural, but when this scene fell into the eyes of Li Ruonan, who had been coveting gu mohan for a long time, it aroused boundless anger.
Between the two tables, Li Ruonan had been staring at the two of them for a long time. She had not missed the blurry conversation and the occasional small movements. If it weren't for the ugly gauze on her cheek, she would have rushed over and chased ye zhiqiao away for fear of giving gu mohan a bad impression again.
But at this moment, looking at gu mohan looking at ye zhiqiao's loving eyes, she couldn't help it any longer. Go to hell with all the gauze!
Even if a scar on her face was ten thousand times prettier than ye zhiqiao, the only person gu mohan should look at was her, Li Ruonan!!
With the encouragement of his anger, Li Ruonan stood up abruptly and strode to gu mohan without even carrying a plate. Ignoring their surprised eyes, he sat down and even pulled a chair in the direction of gu Mohan with his shoulder pressed against gu mohan's shoulder.
Gu mohan was naturally extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior, and regardless of whether it conformed to the etiquette of a gentleman, he immediately moved a chair to the side.
"What are you doing?!" His tone was also extremely harsh. After all, it destroyed the time between him and ye zhiqiao. It was strange that gu mohan could bear it.
Li Ruonan didn't know whether she was too eager or too confident in herself. She didn't give up at all when gu mohan's unwelcome behavior was so obvious. Instead, she stared at ye zhiqiao arrogantly and said with her mouth curled, "President gu, let me help you look at ye zhiqiao. This woman has a lot of bad intentions. In order to get on top of her, I'm afraid you might accidentally hit her path."
Who is the unscrupulous person?
Li Ruonan splashed dirty water on ye zhiqiao so blatantly that both gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were extremely surprised, thinking that this woman didn't have a brain? He provoked his female companion in front of gu mohan. No matter what the relationship was, it was strange that she would benefit from it!
In fact, when dealing with the dispute between Li Ruonan and gu chengyan in the manager's office, gu mohan saw that Li Ruonan's eq was not high, but he was always praised by the stars, so he had a self-righteous mentality. He disliked such people very much, and could even be said to be extremely disgusted.
Fortunately, there wouldn't be much interaction between him and Li Ruonan. As long as ye zhiqiao could protect himself, then he wouldn't be afraid to offend Li Ruonan. There was no need to save face for her between words.
Thus, gu mohan said coldly, "Wicked and unscrupulous? Sorry, I didn't seem to see this from ye zhiqiao. But if there's anything that makes me uncomfortable, there's really one..."
He deliberately made a pass, which attracted ye zhiqiao and Li Ruonan to cast curious eyes together, especially Li Ruonan, as if he could hear gu mohan's secret right away, his eyes glistened with excitement.
In her expectant gaze, gu mohan's lips curled up into a smile and said slowly, "Women throw themselves into arms voluntarily. It feels cheap and disgusting. I'm very uncomfortable."
Throw! Huai! Send it off! Hug!
A bolt from the blue hit Li Ruonan's head hard. She couldn't believe her ears. She stared at gu mohan for a long time. It was only when gu mohan smiled sarcastically that she had to believe that what gu mohan said just now was really sarcastic.
For a moment, her face turned dark and red. She wanted to say something to defend herself, but she realized that the more she said, the more humiliating it would be. It would only make gu mohan look down on her.
