Chapter 319 Every Step in Love

The advantage of coming to the company early is that you can choose your own workstation.

The three people transferred from the school chose their workstations happily.

The three of them chose seats by the window in tacit understanding.

The others came over to take a look and then went back to work. The three of them chose their workstations and left together.

Gradually, everyone left, and only Xu Wen and Gu Xingruo were left in the company.

They walked to the innermost office together in tacit understanding.

This is an office specially prepared for Xu Wen, and it is also the boss’s office.

Gu Xingruo did not reserve an office for herself. Firstly, she did not need to work in the office and did not have any specific work. Secondly, it was convenient for her to go straight to this office as soon as she arrived.

She didn’t feel bored watching her beloved working.

In the serious office, there is a pink unicorn-shaped pillow, a My Little Pony mug, pink plush slippers, and even a plush blanket with cartoon patterns.

These were bought by Gu Xingruo at the shopping mall opposite when she came here last time.

The slightly childish pink color doesn’t fit in with this minimalist studio.

But once you get used to it, you will find that these little items add a touch of warmth to the entire office.

Gu Xingruo played with the mug on the table.

When she had these things, she finally felt that she had successfully broken into Xu Wen’s life.

Add a touch of color that belongs only to her to his daily life.

The afternoon sun shone obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Xu Wen’s desk, and the metal pen holder cast a long shadow on the teak table top.

Gu Xingruo’s fingertips unconsciously stroked the My Little Pony model on the mug, and the glass window reflected the two people snuggling together.

Xu Wen walked to the boss chair and sat down on it.

Although the seventeenth floor is not the top floor, you can already see the entire street view.

The afternoon sun shone on his desk, making him feel warm all over.

“We’ll have to get some sun-blocking curtains later.” Xu Wen gestured in the air.

Gu Xingruo also sat on a chair nearby.

The desk in front of the two of them was rather long, which she had specially prepared for herself so that she could come over and do something in the future.

“Don’t worry, I’ve thought of it a long time ago, but I haven’t installed it yet.” Gu Xingruo leaned her chair to the side and rested her head lightly on Xu Wen’s shoulder.

The familiar smell and warm feeling made him a little drowsy.

Gu Xingruo closed her eyes and enjoyed it, while Xu Wen looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window.

He never thought that one day he would have his own office and sit at his desk to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

Before he did those messy jobs, his dream was to be an ordinary white-collar worker.

Go to work on time and leave work on time.

Now it is considered to have been exceeded.

Gu Xingruo was afraid that she had really fallen asleep, so she raised her head and looked at Xu Wen beside her.

The office was very quiet, and the two of them no longer needed to speak.

When Xu Wen turned his head to look beside him and saw the exquisite and perfect face, he couldn’t help but lower his head.

There were no unexpected calls or knocks on the door.

There were only two of them in Xu Wen’s office.

The two of them stayed together for a long time, until Gu Xingruo felt a little out of breath and then they separated slightly.

As a novice in love, the eldest lady found herself a bit stupid.

The two of them spent some time together, but when they were doing some intimate actions, they would still hold themselves back and wouldn’t even stick out their tongues.

Everything seemed so clumsy.

Although her movements were clumsy, the surging love that burst out of her eyes was real.

No skills are required, just the truest feelings in your heart.

Gu Xingruo looked into Xu Wen’s eyes and felt inexplicably hot.

I don’t know if it’s because of the sun or some other reason.

When Xu Wen saw Gu Xingruo’s affectionate eyes, he also realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

The office, a single man and a single woman, and big windows, why does this look like a scene from a movie in an island country?

Not only filming movies, Xu Wen has also visited couples hotels with similar themes.

In places like this, there are always many stories happening.

Xu Wen knew that if he reached out his hand at this moment, it would most likely be the first call for the company in this building.

It can be considered as playing with the theme.

“Let’s go to my house tonight.” Gu Xingruo said softly with an unstable tone.

The stalemate between the two finally ended.

Xu Wen stood up from the chair and stretched in the sun.

It seems that the eldest lady also has shy moments, and she doesn’t want to play such a perverted game.

But when the words “go to my house” came out of his mouth, everyone knew what would happen next.

The two of them understood each other tacitly and agreed to this matter.

Xu Wen didn’t say much, just simply said two words.

“Okay.”

After leaving the office, Gu Xingruo took Xu Wen’s arm.

She also recovered from her nervous state and returned to her usual lively self.

“Today I asked all our nannies to come out and distribute power banks, and then I told them that they had worked hard today, and gave them a day off.” Gu Xingruo said mysteriously.

Seeing that Xu Wen was looking at her seriously without replying, she continued to ask, “Do you know what this means?”

Gu Xingruo’s face was full of impatience.

But the closer it got to this point, the more Xu Wen couldn’t control his urge to play a trick on the young lady.

He asked knowingly, “What does this mean?”

Gu Xingruo was not annoyed. She answered patiently, “This means that no one is at home tonight.”

After saying this, she scratched Xu Wen’s palm.

This is a trick she learned from TV dramas.

When Xu Wen thought about what he was going to say next, he couldn’t help but smile.

He suppressed a smile, “Oh, no one’s home? Then why would I go? I’m living in such a big house by myself?”

Gu Xingruo finally realized that Xu Wen was teasing her.

She reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said a little embarrassedly: “Did you forget that I am at home?”

If other people who knew Gu Xingruo saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop in surprise.

After all, no one has ever seen a young lady act like a spoiled child.

Xu Wen was satisfied after seeing Gu Xingruo’s reaction.

This time he raised a rather realistic question: “If the babysitter is not at home, what are we going to eat tonight?”

Gu Xingruo was stunned for two seconds before she realized the problem.

“Wait for me to ask the community property management and get their phone number for ordering food. Then I will have the restaurant deliver it directly to me.” After saying this, she took out her cell phone.

As long as you have money, there are certainly solutions.

Gu Xingruo had never used any phone number for ordering food before.

First, because the nanny is always there, even if the nanny is not there, she is more accustomed to eating instant noodles or snacks as a meal. Xu Wen reached out and held down Gu Xingruo’s hand holding the phone.

“There’s no need to ask them to send it. Have you forgotten that I can cook?” He took the eldest lady’s hand and walked forward.

Gu Xingruo nodded after hearing this: “You’re right, we can do it ourselves. I can cook too.”

Xu Wen glanced at the side and said jokingly, “Coke chicken wings that rely on smell to judge the taste?”

This is the only dish the eldest lady can cook.

Gu Xingruo was a little embarrassed, but still stiffened her neck and replied: “Just tell me if it tastes good or not?”

I have to admit that the cola chicken wings made by the eldest lady on New Year’s Day were really good.

But would Xu Wen simply answer “delicious”?

He said seriously, “I think there is a job that is particularly suitable for you.”

Gu Xingruo had no idea what Xu Wen was going to say, and replied with equal seriousness: “What kind of job? Tasting food in the restaurant kitchen?”

Xu Wen shook his head and took a few steps back.

When he stood far away from Gu Xingruo, he revealed the answer: “Go to the police station to be a police dog, because you have a good nose.”

The young lady then realized that she had been fooled.

She held out her hand, ready to give her boyfriend a little punishment.

The few steps Xu Wen took back had an effect.

As soon as Gu Xingruo raised her hand, he pulled her directly into his arms, then bent down and kissed her gently.

“Let’s go to the supermarket to buy groceries.” Xu Wen gently stroked her head.

After this series of moves, the young lady seemed to be under some kind of magic. Her mind went blank for a moment and she could only let Xu Wen pull her.

He also took Gu Xingruo to the shopping mall opposite the company again.

It is actually a very romantic thing for couples to go shopping in the supermarket together.

Here, both of them can reveal their preferences and what they like to eat. They can even stand in the snack area and say, “I liked to eat this when I was a child, but my parents wouldn’t buy it for me.”

As the conversation deepened, both sides got to know each other better, and their hearts grew closer.

Xu Wen said that when he was a child, he wanted to buy everything when he went to the supermarket, but unfortunately he had no money and could only watch.

Gu Xingruo said that it was similar when she was a child. Every time there was a sports meet, her grandfather would only give her 20 yuan to buy snacks at the supermarket, which was not enough to buy anything.

Now that both of them have money, Xu Wen suggested buying some snacks to take back as a way of making up for their childhood.

Gu Xingruo asked hesitantly, “Do you want to eat?”

Xu Wen thought for a moment and shook his head: “I don’t want to eat.”

The two of them quickly skipped over the snack area.

When does each person realize that he or she has become an adult?
It’s probably that moment when you see those sweets when you pass by the snack section and don’t want to buy anything.

Soon, their carts were filled with all kinds of food.

“It feels like we are a bit like a newlywed couple now.” Xu Wen joked as he looked at the things in the cart.

Gu Xingruo put her hand on the handle of the shopping cart.

Then he took Xu Wen’s hand and placed it in his own hand.

She tilted her head back and whispered, “It’s more like it now.”

Gu Xingruo looked at Xu Wen’s lips and felt inexplicably impulsive in her heart.

If there weren’t so many people in the supermarket, the two of them might have stuck together again.

Gu Xingruo felt the warmth in Xu Wen’s palm, and this warmth was also transmitted to her hands bit by bit.

She doesn’t ask for much, as long as every day from now on can be the same as today.

When Gu Xingruo stood on tiptoe to take a can of coconut milk from the shelf, Xu Wen suddenly reached out and held her waist.

She was so shocked that she almost knocked over other drinks on the shelf, even though the two had been together for some time.

But if Xu Wen suddenly made such an intimate move, she would still feel shy.

Gu Xingruo felt that he was a giant in language, but he panicked when it came to practical matters.

“Did you really only buy shrimp crackers when you were a kid?” Xu Wen took the coconut milk from her hand and brushed his fingertips across the bracelet on her wrist: “I remember there was also a kind of gold coin chocolate back then. During the Chinese New Year, every child’s pockets were stuffed full.”

Gu Xingruo’s ears turned slightly red in the white mist of the cold storage area: “Grandpa said it would cause tooth decay.”

Before she finished her words, she suddenly grabbed the hem of Xu Wen’s shirt. At the corner of the shelf, several children holding marshmallows were running by, laughing.

Xu Wen took the opportunity to trap her between the freezer and his chest. The cold air mixed with the base notes of his cedar perfume, creating an intoxicating sweetness in the alternating hot and cold air.

When passing the fresh food area, Xu Wen suddenly stopped in front of the live fish tank.

The sparkling water reflected on his profile, and the fish in the glass tank flicked their tails, splashing water that fell on Gu Xingruo’s rolled-up arm.

She screamed softly and dodged backwards, but bumped into Xu Wen’s prepared arms.

The cool touch and the warm chest form a subtle temperature difference, like an electric current running through the spine.

Rather than shopping and purchasing together, the two of them now feel more like they are on a date.

When he reached the cashier counter, Gu Xingruo even felt a little unsatisfied.

In the end, the two of them put some snacks in the shopping cart.

Although he didn’t eat any snacks, it was as if he had not visited the supermarket at all if he didn’t buy any snacks. Gu Xingruo still stubbornly took some and put them in the shopping cart.

After shopping in the supermarket, the two drove back to the villa together.

Just as Gu Xingruo said, the huge villa was empty except for the two of them.

As adults, they all knew exactly what was going to happen next.

But at this point, they were not in a hurry to do anything, nor did they stick together passionately as soon as they entered a private area.

The two of them were like an old couple, organizing ingredients and cooking together.

Gu Xingruo felt a little bit of fear and anticipation about that matter.

But now she enjoys every moment with Xu Wen, cooking and eating together.

Xu Wen cooked a lot of dishes, and Gu Xingruo’s cola chicken wings were one of them.

Before dinner, the eldest lady took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet.

She held the bottle, hesitant.

After all, she was still a little afraid of this kind of thing, and the closer she got to that moment, the more uneasy she felt.

She was thinking, why not have a drink now.

Then she uses the momentum in her heart to do what she wants to do.

There is something to say.

Drinking makes people brave.

Wu Song could kill a tiger directly after drinking.

Seeing that Gu Xingruo had been holding the bottle without moving, Xu Wen took the initiative to ask, “Do you want me to help you open it?”

The eldest lady was still hesitating.

But when she heard what he said, she suddenly made a decision in her heart.

Gu Xingruo put the bottle back on the wine rack and said in an almost inaudible voice, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it and will just spit it out.”

There were only two of them in the villa, so even the quietest sound could be heard clearly.

Xu Wen didn’t think about it that way at first, but he understood it instantly after Gu Xingruo finished speaking.

This time he didn’t tease the eldest lady, but pulled out the chair in front of her.

“Let’s eat first, and then we can rest early.”
