Chapter 744: Chapter 743: 743, how can you let your girlfriend buy the tickets?

Lu Chenyu glared at Mo Weiyi and could only respond with a grunt of acknowledgement.

Why didn’t this annoying person inform him that CEO Xiao was going to pick her up after work today?

If he had known, he wouldn’t have asked for her assistance with work.

Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow and scanned the entire office space.

But there was no need to do this.

The law firm closes at half past five, and it was already past half-past six. The entire tenth floor was eerily quiet.

Which meant, only these two were working overtime on the entire tenth floor.

After glancing back at Lu Chenyu, Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, “Doesn’t Lawyer Lu have a date?”

The corners of Lu Chenyu’s mouth twitched slightly, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”

Having said that, as if he feared being chased, he picked up his briefcase and hurriedly left.

Once outside, he happened to see Zhan Yao smoking in the corridor.

Zhan Yao was also slightly surprised to see him.

Nodding his head, Lu Chenyu turned the corner and headed towards the washbasin along the corridor.

He placed his briefcase on the washbasin and immediately entered the men’s restroom.

Due to his nervousness, he didn’t notice a sign posted on the wall next to him saying, “This door is broken, please do not close it.”

…

As soon as the door to the men’s restroom closed, the door to the neighboring ladies’ restroom opened.

Gu Dazhuang walked out from inside.

While washing her hands, she glanced at the black briefcase lying next to her.

After drying her hands, she turned towards the men’s restroom.

The door was firmly closed.

The sign next to it stated that the door was broken and that there should be no one inside.

Could it be that someone had left behind this briefcase?

Being a police officer, she promptly took the briefcase and left.

…

Back in the corridor, Zhan Yao’s impatient voice echoed, “Gu Dazhuang, can’t you hurry up? You’re taking so long just to use the bathroom. Women are such a hassle…”

“I’m coming, I’m coming.”

Gu Dazhuang hurried over and rushed into the law firm, placing the briefcase on the reception desk as she ran past.

Zhan Yao glanced at her, “When will you break this habit of always wanting to do the right thing?”

Gu Dazhuang giggled as she ran over, “Captain, where are CEO Xiao and Mrs. Xiao?”

“They’ve already gone down. Waiting for you? They’d get cold feet!” Zhan Yao called the elevator, adding, “Make sure to act convincingly later and don’t let the Little Princess see through you. Do you remember what to call me?”

“My darling.” Gu Dazhuang responded.

Zhan Yao seemed satisfied, “And I’ll call you ‘my cute little darling’.”

Though she wasn’t cute in the slightest.

Hearing this nickname made Gu Dazhuang shudder.

Zhan Yao immediately clicked his tongue, “What’s with that expression? You think I’m happy about this? I’m handsomely beautiful, it’s a disgrace for me to be partnered with you!”

Gu Dazhuang responded, “Captain, honestly speaking, you’re not my type.”

“You have a type?!” Zhan Yao was surprised, “Have you ever considered whether men would find you attractive?”

Gu Dazhuang laughed carelessly, “Well, at least I prefer masculine men.”

In other words…

“For fuck’s sake, are you saying I lack masculinity?!”

“Uh…”

“Believe it or not, I’ll smack you!” Zhan Yao threatened.

“…”

The two bickered and made a ruckus as the elevator quickly reached the ground floor.

As soon as they exited, they saw Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi standing and waiting by the road.

“Wow!” Gu Dazhuang’s eyes widened in astonishment. “Mrs Xiao is so beautiful!”

Zhan Yao responded with a mocking smile, “Now you realize how little femininity you possess?”

Gu Dazhuang: “…”

Indeed.@@novelbin@@

In order to move easily, she dressed in loose, casual clothing every day and wore sneakers, not even bothering to wear makeup or jewelry.

However, standing next to Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi was dressed in a pink professional outfit. The man was clad in a suit and leather shoes, her frame slim, body perfectly proportioned, and slender legs peeking from underneath her skirt.

They were blindingly white.

Her long, curly hair was lush and glossy, framing her delicate and seductive face. Her perfect features made her look like a model for plastic surgery advertisements.

At first glance, this pair looked like a prince and princess, incomparably matched and pleasing to the eye.

Mo Weiyi was also looking at Gu Dazhuang.

Then she directed her gaze towards Zhan Yao, “Zhan Yao, who is this?”

“She’s my girlfriend.” Zhan Yao smiled, while also giving Xiao Yebai a suggestive look.

Xiao Yebai held his gaze, then looked away without a word.

Mo Weiyi was surprised, “Your girlfriend?”

This girl looked to be around 18 or 19 years old, quite petite, with large eyes, rosy lips, and pearly white teeth. She looked delightful, almost like a high school student.

“She’s my subordinate.” Zhan Yao continued astonishingly, “I introduced her to Yebai last Saturday.”

Mo Weiyi suddenly understood.

So this was the policewoman Lu Chenyu had mentioned, who happened to be Zhan Yao’s girlfriend. That’s why she had dined with Xiao Yebai.

Mo Weiyi had been slightly puzzled as to why Xiao Yebai would casually dine with two cops for personal matters until she realized that it was merely a friend’s girlfriend.

Her final doubts were eliminated in an instant, and she greeted them with a beaming smile, “Nice to meet you.”

Gu Dazhuang also responded with a beaming smile, “Mrs Xiao, hello.”

“Little Princess.” Zhan Yao asked with an intentionally conspicuous tone, “What do you think of my girlfriend?”

Mo Weiyi naturally complimented her, “She’s very pretty, what’s her name?”

“Gu Dazhuang.” Zhan Yao blurted out.

“What?” Mo Weiyi was taken aback.

Gu Dazhuang?

This …..?

Is this the name of a girl?

“Oh, I misspoke.” Zhan Yao quickly corrected himself, “Her name is ….. Gu Pingting.”

When he uttered these three words, it felt …..

Like he was going to throw up.

It was just too incongruous!

Not to mention the fact that she looked like a man but her parents had given her such a delicate and poetic name.

“Is her surname Gu?” Mo Weiyi asked curiously, “What relation does she have with Gu Huai’an?”

Indeed, Gu Pingting continued with a smile, “He’s my seventh uncle.”

“What a coincidence.” Mo Weiyi nodded.

So she’s from the Gu Family.

No wonder she’s so pretty.

Although the Gu Family is considered the topmost wealthy family in Nancheng, mainly engaged in the media and cultural industry, they still carry the characteristics of intellectuals. The members of the Gu Family either work in the entertainment industry or related fields. Could it be that their daughter is working as a police officer, which is such a dangerous job?

However, there are many branches of the Gu family with complicated relationships in the inner circle. No matter how curious Mo Weiyi was, he didn’t ask more. It seemed that the other two men were not bothered by this issue either.

After the polite initial conversation, they got into the cars. Two cars left the law office, one after the other.

First, they went for dinner at Hongding.

The manager had already prepared a private room in advance, and the dishes were served quickly.

After finishing dinner, Zhan Yao sighed in relief, “Let’s end it here for today. I’ll take Gu Da… uh… my cutie will go home.”

He almost said the wrong name countless times during dinner.

Thank God Little Princess is so innocent, otherwise, someone else would be suspicious by now.

“Leaving so soon?” Mo Weiyi checked the time, “It’s only eight o’clock. Why don’t we go watch a movie upstairs? There’s a new romance film out that I haven’t seen yet.”

After that, she turned to Xiao Yebai, and pleaded in a soft, coquettish tone, “Xiaobai, can we see a movie? It will be just in time to go home and sleep at 9:30.”

Xiao Yebai agreed instantly, “Sure.”

“Why don’t we have Zhan Yao and his girlfriend join us?” Mo Weiyi suggested again.

Zhan Yao quickly hinted Xiao Yebai with his eyes.

Don’t go!

Don’t agree!

We’re not going!

However, Xiao Yebai pretended not to see him. His peachy eyes were focused on Mo Weiyi and his lips curled up slightly, “Sure, let’s all go together.”

Zhan Yao: “…”

My god.

Are we still buddies?

I managed to crawl out of that hole, only to be kicked back in by him.

Zhan Yao could only look at Gu Pingting, trying to hint her with his eyes.

Who would have guessed that Pingting, with her adorable look, would say, “Great, I haven’t seen a movie in a long time.”

Zhan Yao once again: “…”

Damn it!

Dihong Restaurant is located in the busiest commercial area in Nancheng, right above it is a commercial city complex, housing a shopping mall, a club and a cinema.

The two couples took the elevator to the top floor. Mo Weiyi affectionately linked her arm with Xiao Yebai’s along the way. But the other couple was quite distant, not even holding hands.

Mo Weiyi thought to herself: Is it because she’s a cop that she is so serious about dating?

….

They entered the cinema, which was not very crowded.

Zhan Yao looked around and habitually directed his subordinate, “You go buy four movie tickets.”

“Okay.” Gu Pingting was about to leave but was stopped by Mo Weiyi.

She looked at Zhan Yao, “How could you get your girlfriend to go buy the tickets?”

Zhan Yao was at a loss.

Xiao Yebai spoke out casually, “You go get them.”

Zhan Yao: “…”

My god!

I knew I shouldn’t have suggested pretending to be a couple for dinner!

At the time of the suggestion, Xiao Yebai had not agreed.

But just now when he introduced Gu Pingting as his girlfriend, Xiao Yebai didn’t deny it!

Every time, it was him worrying and coming up with solutions while this damn kid always remained relaxed and calm.

Damn it!

Why should he?

Zhan Yao felt he was just making a fool of himself!

Why is he showing so much care for this brat?
