Chapter 558: Three Year Itch VII
She put down her cup and ate the cold dishes she had picked up nearby. The cold and icy food fell into her stomach, making it even more uncomfortable then before.
“Take all the cold dishes.” Gu Yuanzhou suddenly said again. He didn’t look at her, but only spoke to the waiter in the private room. “Take down those cold dishes and bring up the hot dishes.”
When Gu Yuanzhou was preparing to take a car, he happened to encounter Wen Ying who didn’t walk in a straight line. In the cold night, she stumbled and teetered, and in the end, she simply took off her shoes, looking as if she was going home on foot.
He watched coldly for a long time before finally closing the car door. He took off a leather glove and held it in his hand. He went up and helped her, “Didn’t you call for a driver? What’s your assistant’s phone number?”
He knew that something was wrong with her today. They had been dealing with each other for a long time, and she had always been decisive and straightforward. She had never been so embarrassed at the table before. He watched as she drank down glasses of wine, and his thoughts gradually sank.
The assistant’s words suddenly hit his mind. He had heard of Yan Zhengqi’s style in the past two years, but he had never seen her behave so recklessly. It seems that this time she has taken it seriously.
“Zhengqi?” She asked in a daze.
He shook his head.
“Could you please help me dial his phone number?” She didn’t seem to recognize him, with a grateful expression towards the kind person who assisted. She finally found her phone from her handbag and handed it to him, “The one with an A on the top is his number.”
The phone book is always distinguished by letters, from A to Z, where A is at the top, so she added an A before the name of the most important person. Gu Yuanzhou understood the meaning of her setting as soon as he received the phone.
He dialed out.
The phone beeped twice, and then the other side answered, “Hello, who is this?” It was a coquettish voice, it was a woman’s voice coming from a noisy background, obviously in places like nightclubs and bars.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuanzhou heard the woman beside him calmly say, “I’m looking for Yan Zhengqi.”
“Yan Zhengqi?” The woman chuckled, “Young master Yan, someone is looking for you. Oh, I see it says’ Wife ‘. Your wife’s phone number, I accidentally answered it. Is this okay?”
“Even if you hang up, it’s alright.”
There was a man’s teasing voice coming from the other side. Before he could pick up his phone, Wen Ying quickly hung up the phone, covering her mouth as if she was about to throw up.
Gu Yuanzhou sighed and, according to his usual style, he was not in the mood to intervene in these messy matters between a husband and wife.
“Forget it, I’ll give you a ride.” He didn’t want to leave a drunk on the street either, so he had to take on this mess and just spoke nonsense. “pay for the hourly fare back to my account later.”
Wen Ying ignored his teasing and flipped through her bag, then turned to his pocket and asked drunkenly, “Do you have any cash?”
He couldn’t avoid her and the woman’s hand was thrust into his pants pocket. Through a thin layer of fabric, the woman’s fingers were soft and groping around. If it were for other occasions or another person, such movements would be intriguing, but Gu Yuanzhou clearly knows who she is.
He had to grab her wrist and take a step to block the strange sight of passersby with his back.
“Don’t randomly feel around.” he muttered softly. Seeing her looking up at him persistently, he couldn’t help but say, “Alright, only two thousand.” Unable to explain to the drunk, he had to take out his wallet and give her all the cash inside.
Wen Ying grabbed the money and shook her head, saying, “Not enough, take me to the bank.”
