Chapter 966: Chapter 963

At noon, Le Zhengsheng and Lu Jinxuan had lunch together.

Lu Jinxuan looked at Le Zhengsheng and asked, "Is there something good happening? Have you dealt with Gu Xiaoning?"

"Tsk." Le Zhengsheng frowned and clicked his tongue, "Mr. President, can’t your wording be a bit more refined?"

Lu Jinxuan curled his lips, "What did I say? How is it not refined?"

He laughed, "Tch, looking at you like this, I guess you haven’t dealt with it. But, why are you smiling like that?"

Le Zhengsheng reflexively touched his face, "I’m... smiling like that? Am I?"

"Yes." Lu Jinxuan nodded.

Le Zhengsheng simply put down his knife and fork, and seriously said, "I have a question to ask, Mr. President, please answer me seriously."

"Okay." Lu Jinxuan curled his lips and nodded.

Le Zhengsheng frowned, thought for a while, and then asked, "How do I make a woman fall in love with me?"

"Tch." Lu Jinxuan laughed shamelessly, "A woman? Just say Gu Xiaoning, as if there’s any woman!"

"Mr. President!"

"Alright!" Lu Jinxuan put away his smile, "Before I answer this question, let me ask you... aren’t you afraid that she’ll betray you again? After all, she’s had a history. What if she changes her mind again?"

Le Zhengsheng was momentarily stumped, silent.

Lu Jinxuan patted him on the shoulder, "Seems like you are afraid after all."

Le Zhengsheng did not deny it, "Yes, I’m afraid... but I still want to give it a try."

"..." Lu Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, as expected, you’re the Le Zhengsheng I know."

He leaned back, "Then it’s simple, I have three ways to help you achieve your wish, do you want to hear them?"

Le Zhengsheng became spirited, "Really? There are actually three ways!"

Before Lu Jinxuan could speak, Ou Guanshen walked over, "Mr. President, Director Le Zheng, lunch time is over... please move to the Cabinet."

Lu Jinxuan shrugged his shoulders and stood up, "Let’s go."

"..." Le Zhengsheng felt a bit stifled, he hadn’t heard those three methods yet.

The two walked together towards the Cabinet, with Ou Guanshen present, Le Zhengsheng couldn’t ask further.

On the way, Le Zhengsheng’s phone rang.

He took a look and it turned out to be a message from Lu Jinxuan.

——The way to a woman’s heart is through the winding path below her navel. Those three ways are: sleep with her, sleep with her, and endlessly sleep with her.

Le Zhengsheng’s eyes widened, damn! This is the dignified president of the empire!

He looked up at Lu Jinxuan ahead, with his dignified and upright appearance, who would think he would send such a message to Le Zhengsheng?

But, sleep with her?

Le Zhengsheng curled his lips, this idea... could it work?

——

In the evening, Gu Xiaoning was on night duty because Ling Yu was coming back tonight.

According to the information from the butler, Ling Yu was taking a long-haul flight.

Gu Xiaoning prepared refreshing vegetable congee, a few delicious snacks, and a balance of meat and vegetable side dishes. She put effort into the presentation, making it look delicate.

"All done." Gu Xiaoning admired her work.

She did her best to satisfy her employer.

Now she was so meticulous in preparing food for her employer, she wondered if she would ever have the chance to prepare something like this for Jiujiu again in this lifetime?

"Who are you talking to?" Ling Yu’s voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning was startled, and turned around abruptly to look at him.

Ling Yu frowned, "Am I that scary?"

Gu Xiaoning held her chest, shaking her head, "No... How come you made no sound at all?"

"Is that so?" Ling Yu was noncommittal, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Were you too engrossed in your thoughts?"

He picked up a spoon, scooped some vegetable congee into his mouth, "Hmm, very good... it tastes nice."

Having been out for a few days, he really didn’t have much appetite, and surprisingly, he missed Gu Xiaoning’s cooking.

Gu Xiaoning watched eagerly as he finished the entire pot of congee, leaving no snacks or side dishes...

"Uh." Gu Xiaoning was a bit surprised, "Did you get full?"

How could he be so hungry? Did he not eat on the plane?

"It’s alright." Ling Yu looked at her, "There’s no more, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiaoning nodded, how was she supposed to know he had such an appetite? "Should I make some more for you..."

"No need." Ling Yu wiped his mouth, stood up, "It’s late, I’m quite tired, want to sleep now."

"Sure." Gu Xiaoning prepared to tidy up the dishes.

Ling Yu had already walked out but suddenly turned back, "I’ll be staying at home for the next two days."

"Sure."

"Oh." Ling Yu simply walked over, took something out of his pocket, and placed it in front of Gu Xiaoning.

Gu Xiaoning looked at it, slightly dazed... Isn’t this Chanel’s logo?

Ling Yu smiled lightly, "It’s a gift for you."

"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning was even more surprised, "For me?"

"Yes." Ling Yu explained, "It’s perfume. I don’t know what scent you like, but... since you haven’t used any, try this scent! The sales associate recommended it, saying it suits someone your age."

"Uh..." Gu Xiaoning was so surprised she didn’t know what to say.

She’s just a chef, is it appropriate to accept gifts from her employer?

"Don’t feel burdened." Ling Yu smiled, "It’s just a bottle of perfume, not worth much. If you feel burdened... it becomes a burden for me. I just wanted to thank you for helping me out the other day."

A thank you gift?

Gu Xiaoning came back to her senses, so that’s it... she immediately felt relieved.

She nodded with a smile, "Then, I’ll accept it, thank you."

"Hmm." Ling Yu smiled lightly, turned, and walked away.

Buying perfume for Gu Xiaoning was just the start.

From the moment he tasted the food she cooked, he had thoughts. Now he’s thinking about how to make this girl truly his own.

Gu Xiaoning was very reserved, different from other girls her age, she was not flamboyant, even not lively.

Ling Yu thought, she wouldn’t like overly passionate approaches, for a quiet girl like her, the best way... is to spoil her so that she can’t leave you. Although it might be a bit slow, compared to a lifetime, it’s nothing.

...

In deep sleep, Gu Xiaoning’s phone rang.

"Hello!" She answered in a daze, still sleepy.

"Gu Xiaoning!" It was Le Zhengsheng’s anxious voice on the other end, "Come to the hospital right now!"

"What?" Gu Xiaoning was frightened, "The hospital? What happened? Is it Jiujiu? What’s wrong with Jiujiu?"

"Yes, it’s Jiujiu!" Le Zhengsheng said urgently, "I don’t have time to explain, hurry up!"

"Okay!"

Gu Xiaoning hung up the phone, hurriedly got dressed, grabbed her purse, and rushed out.

Checking the time, it was still night.

It’s hard to catch a taxi at Lingyun Manor, Gu Xiaoning ran quite a distance before reaching the subway entrance, and took the train to the hospital.

When she arrived late, Le Zhengsheng scolded her, "Why did you just arrive? Do you really care about Jiujiu?"
