The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 708 - 706: That Year, That Night
Their hotel was booked by Lu Beichen. Ji Niandong went straight to the top floor. As soon as she stood at the door, it swung open suddenly and she was pulled inside.
Before she could react, she was pressed against the wall by the door. A torrent of kisses rained down on her. His kisses were fierce and fiery, yet so familiar. Ji Niandong simply wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to his sudden passion.
But at that moment, Lu Beichen stopped, slowly pulling away from her lips and said in a low voice, "Do you remember this room? That day, I pulled you in just like this, ignoring your resistance then!"
To Lu Beichen, that day seemed like it was just yesterday, and everything was vividly clear in his mind.
"Little Uncle, Dad asked me to come over and ask you how your negotiations are going. Do you really not need his help?" As Gu Xiyao skillfully sliced her steak, she asked.
Since she arrived in Paris, she’s been busy with cooperation matters, often skipping meals. To make sure he ate properly, Gu Xiyao came over every day to have meals with him.
She’s always been good at taking care of people. When Lu Beichen had free time, he would dine with her.
In the upscale restaurant, mellow music played in the background. Everything seemed quite pleasant and not suitable for discussing work. Lu Beichen replied casually, "No need, I’m almost done with it."
"But I heard Young Master Ning also came to Paris, wanting to secure this collaboration. Because you refused Dad, he even visited our home personally. And lucky him, he got to taste the tea that Mother brewed for him," Gu Xiyao said calmly.
"He met your mother? Isn’t your mother usually someone who avoids guests?" Lu Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Gu Xiyao shook her head, "He probably didn’t meet her. It just so happened that Mother brewed some tea and asked me to take it to him for a taste." She glanced at Lu Beichen, "Dad says he’s just a businessman and hopes you won’t turn him down for cooperation."
"If I refuse, will he help Ning Zeyan instead? Even if so, with the Ning Family’s strength, they’re nothing to worry about." Lu Beichen chuckled slightly, "Your dad merely hopes you will persuade me to cooperate with him. But Xiyao, you’re my little niece, and I hope you don’t get involved in these things. Do you understand?"
Gu Xiyao nodded, "Sure, since Little Uncle said so, I naturally won’t mention it again."
She smiled faintly and then said, "This bottle of red wine was specially sent by Dad for us to enjoy together. Since it’s already open, shall we have a little?"
She got up slightly to pour the wine, but Lu Beichen took over, very gentlemanlike, pouring the wine for her with a smooth and graceful motion. Everything he did seemed flawlessly perfect.
Gu Xiyao lifted her glass and smiled, "Little Uncle, I wish you all the success with your collaboration in Paris. Then I can go back to the country with you and won’t be required by Mother to paint and dance every day."
"Don’t you enjoy those activities?" Lu Beichen reached over, clinked glasses with her, and then drank his wine in one go.
"I do enjoy them, but I prefer going back to China with Little Uncle. I like China more."
Lu Beichen nodded, "I’ll talk to your dad then. I’ll take you back with me."
For once, Gu Xiyao’s smile became a little deeper, but still gentle and graceful.
After the meal, Gu Xiyao was picked up by the driver and taken back. Lu Beichen returned to his room and started going through the files. The recent acquisition negotiations were proceeding very smoothly. Ning Zeyan suddenly appeared and got involved, raising the original stakes. Although he didn’t care much, he hadn’t expected Ning Zeyan to attempt collaborating with the Gu Family.
He should remember he’s also partly a Gu Family member!
