part14 "If necessary, I will kill him." ”

Xia Zhiyao easily understood the meaning of his words, although she didn't understand the significance of Gu Mingcheng's move at all. Xia Zhiyao was in no mood or time to pay attention to his sudden thoughts and inadvertent gentleness, at least at this moment, she was most concerned about Xiao Jiu's life and death. As long as Xiao Jiu can avoid prison safe and sound, even if Xia Zhiyao has to stay by Gu Mingcheng's side as the so-called "secretary" in fear, she will and can only accept the conditions he offers. Xia Zhiyao pursed his lips and hesitated slightly. "When will Xiao Jiu come out?"

Gu Mingcheng knew that she had agreed. "What's the hurry?"

Xia Zhiyao thought he had repented and almost jumped up. "You're going back on your word?"

Gu Mingcheng smiled. "He almost lost one of my arms, and after squatting in the bureau for a few days, he is sure to make a profit!"

Xia Zhiyao's eyelids jumped, and the anger that Xiao Jiu had endured for six years suddenly burst out, and it was indeed heavy. She still can't let go of the heart hanging in her throat. "Then let's sign a settlement agreement first."

The distrust in her tone stimulated Gu Mingcheng. "You don't believe me?"

Xia Zhiyao didn't refute it, it was regarded as a default.

Gu Mingcheng's fist on his bent knee clenched suddenly, Xia Zhiyao lowered his eyes and remained silent, and an indifferent expression fell on the bottom of his eyes, and he felt as if he was choked in his chest. He took a deep breath to restrain the irritability that was flickering in his veins, jumped out of bed, picked up the clothes she had just taken off, and threw them at the bed. "Get dressed and go pick up Xiao Jiu."

Xia Zhiyao stretched out an arm from the thin quilt tightly wrapped around her body to pick up her clothes, she raised her eyes and looked at Gu Mingcheng who was standing on the edge of the bed with her eyes staring at her without blinking.

"Why didn't I see you when I took it off just now, I'm embarrassed?" Gu Mingcheng spit out a sentence leisurely, and his eyes were a little playful.

Xia Zhiyao was desperate because she was worried about Xiao Jiu, and it was understandable for her to feel ashamed in this ambiguous atmosphere after that momentum passed.

Fortunately, although Gu Mingcheng didn't spare her, he also turned his back slowly, Xia Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put his clothes on his body and jumped off the bed.

When Xia Zhiyao was changing clothes, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

When Xia Zhiyao was dressed, he hung up the phone and dialed another one. She didn't know if she should praise the ability of the man in front of her to turn his hands into clouds and rain, and Xiao Jiu could be safe with just a short phone call.

"The driver will pick you up later." Gu Mingcheng put his phone on the hospital bed.

Xia Zhiyao noticed that he was talking about "you" instead of "we", and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gu Mingcheng seemed to have a pair of see-through eyes. "You are destined to not escape."

Destined to be inescapable......

As if it was a spell, was it her person or her heart that was imprisoned?

——

Xiao Jiu drank a bowl of bone broth, took the tissue handed by Bei Bei and wiped the corners of his mouth, before he remembered to ask him how he could get out of prison so quickly.

Xia Zhiyao smiled: "Reconciled." ”

Bei Bei hung her head and didn't speak.

Xiao Jiu's brain quickly turned around a few times, and then he gritted his teeth suspiciously and asked, "Yaoyao, have you gone to find Gu Mingcheng?" ”

At the moment when Xia Zhiyao nodded lightly, Xiao Jiu's eyes quickly crossed the gloomy and fierce light, and Bei Bei even heard the creaking sound of Xiao Jiu's clenched fists.

Xiao Jiuer didn't say a word and stood up and walked out of the door, and as soon as his hand touched the handle of the door, he was pushed by Beibei, who rushed over quickly.

Bei Bei leaned his back against the door and spread his hands in front of Xiao Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, can you not always think about using force to solve it?!" ”

Xiao Jiu's tall figure was caged above her, his aura was too cold, and Bei Bei had never felt such a strong sense of oppression in front of Xiao Jiu for a moment.

"Babe, get out of the way."

"I won't let it!" Bei Bei stubbornly raised her head and stared at Xiao Jiu, she had a hunch that if Xiao Jiu walked out of this door today, then the next consequences would be unimaginable. "What do you want? What can it be? If you hurt Gu Mingcheng again, maybe the Gu family will ask us back tenfold or eightfold! ”

"I'll kill him if necessary."

Xiao Jiu said this sentence word by word with an expression and tone that was almost solemn, and Bei Bei clearly knew that since Xiao Jiu could say it, he would definitely be able to do it. At this moment, the panic in her heart had surpassed her original anger, her fingers trembled, her eyes suddenly turned red, and even her voice was lowered. "Xiao Jiu, I beg you, don't mess around, okay?"

In Xiao Jiu's impression, Bei Bei is a willful* plagiaristic existence, and such a fragile and soft side is unfamiliar to Xiao Jiu. He lost his mind for a moment. Before he could react, Bei Bei suddenly leaned forward, stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, hung on him, and cried.

Xiao Jiu was completely stunned, he would not comfort women, let alone this bebe who was like a woman.

"He didn't touch me." Xia Zhiyao saw that both of them gradually calmed down, "Just ask me to go to work at the 'Cullinan' Hotel." ”

Bei Bei sat down and tried to analyze the reason for Gu Mingcheng's request, but Xia Zhiyao shrugged his shoulders instead, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is no other way."

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, otherwise you wouldn't have to-"

"Xiao Jiu, Beibei, I know that both of you want me to do well. Especially you, Xiao Jiu, if you want to repay my dad for his nurturing kindness, you have done enough. Xia Zhiyao stroked the broken hair at the corner of his forehead and smiled lightly. Gu Mingcheng won't do anything to me, at least not now. ”

Under Xia Zhiyao's persuasion, Xiao Jiu calmed down.

—

Xia Zhiyao's office is only separated by a wall from Gu Mingcheng.

She performed the duties of a secretary at the desk outside, and when she occasionally looked up, she was surprised to find Gu Mingcheng standing by the window, her eyes as deep as the sea resting on her, as if she was looking for something. More than once, he noticed his heart palpitations in his deep and lonely eyes, and whenever this happened, Xia Zhiyao immediately lowered his eyes and pretended to be busy with his work as if nothing happened.

"Ding-" The phone rang.

It's an inside line.

"Mr. Gu, what instructions do you have?"

"Bring in a cup of coffee."

After two mechanical sentences, Xia Zhiyao got up and went to deliver a cup of unsweetened coffee to Gu Mingcheng.

Knock.

A deep, string-like male voice came. "Enter."

The light in the office is excellent, the golden sunlight comes in through the big glass window, he hangs his head slightly and flips through the documents, one hand habitually clicks the tip of his nose, Xia Zhiyao suddenly has an illusion of being in a different world. If he hadn't hurt her, if she hadn't been so heartbroken, maybe everything would have been different now.

When Xia Zhiyao placed the coffee cup on the table, Gu Mingcheng reached out to pick it up, and when the two fingers touched, Xia Zhiyao's movements froze, and he randomly and quickly withdrew his arm.

Gu Mingcheng frowned slightly, raised his head and glanced at her naturally. "Do I have germs on me?"

Xia Zhiyao replied respectfully. "Mr. Gu, of course not."

She went to class for a week, and treated him with this seemingly polite but detached manner for the whole week. Gu Mingcheng felt more and more that the little girl had gradually disappeared in his world, and she would not be excited by his gentleness from time to time, nor would she be bored by his sudden irritability. If two people had intersected at one point, the two lines were gradually becoming parallel lines with immeasurable speed.

Gu Mingcheng put down the pen in his hand. "Accompany me to dinner in the evening."

Xia Zhiyao thought for two seconds. "Mr. Gu, you said that my time outside of work is at my own discretion."

Gu Mingcheng had expected her to say this. "Tonight is to talk to the leaders of the Bureau of Land Management about business, do you think it counts as work? Miss Xia. ”

He wouldn't have given her a reason to refuse.

I didn't expect the location to be set for non-night.

followed Gu Mingcheng in, and everyone showed strange eyes when they saw her. Xia Zhiyao tried his best to ignore the different stares and ubiquitous muttering around him, and it was not until he walked into the box that he finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She entered the box with her head down, and when her forehead suddenly hit a hard chest, Xia Zhiyao raised her hand while covering her painful forehead, Gu Mingcheng didn't know when Lu Dao stopped and turned to look at her. "I'm sorry." As a staff member, her first reaction was to apologize.

Gu Mingcheng originally wanted to check the skin on her forehead that was red from the collision, but as soon as he raised his arm, Xia Zhiyao subconsciously moved back a little distance. Gu Mingcheng's movements were stuck in mid-air, and emotions similar to anger gradually appeared on his indifferent face, Xia Zhiyao pursed the corners of his lips and didn't look at him.

A chuckle came from the depths of the box.

"Mingcheng, look at you scaring people from afar!"

Xia Zhiyao heard Xiao Xun's voice, it turned out that he was also involved in this business?

The leader in Gu Mingcheng's mouth was late, but fortunately, the next negotiations went smoothly. Xia Zhiyao more deeply realized what it means to "combine officials and businessmen into embarrassment", and also thoroughly saw the "sexuality" of those government officials.

During the banquet, the princess who was not the first to be the first in the night was invited to accompany her. Naturally, he was among them, and when he saw Xia Zhiyao sitting next to Gu Mingcheng, a crystal light flashed in Almond's eyes. "Yo, isn't this our Yingying? Why, after flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, you don't recognize our sisters? ”

The eyes of the crowd fell on Xia Zhiyao, and the box suddenly fell silent, and the smug light flashed on his face.

Xia Zhiyao was extremely embarrassed, pulling the corners of his clothes and not knowing how to answer.

Gu Mingcheng held the goblet in his right hand and shook it shallowly, using his body as a cover, and his left hand quietly covered Xia Zhiyao's hand that was less than two centimeters away from him. There was a hot heat on the back of his hand that could not be ignored, Xia Zhiyao immediately stiffened his body, and looked at Gu Mingcheng in disbelief, and he actually hooked his lips at her. That smile...... unexpectedly brought Xia Zhiyao, who was in a panicked state of mind...... Security......

When Gu Mingcheng turned his eyes to look at the piece, although the corners of his mouth seemed to have a faint smile, his eyes were as cold as frost, almost freezing to death. Suddenly, his hands and feet were cold, his heart was beating wildly, and Gu Mingcheng had already opened his mouth to "confirm" to her with a smile: "Are you sure you recognize her?" ”
