Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The Little Ancestor’s Casual Remark is Way Too Accurate!
But why couldn’t he remember what happened last night at all?
Bao Gucheng rubbed his forehead, memories lingering at the moment he and Zuzi had their last glass of wine together... Could it be that after that drink, he just passed out drunk?
His drinking capacity... wasn’t that bad, right?
Standing up, he stepped out of the cabin to look for Zuzi and found her on the mast of the deck, leisurely swinging!
Just like how she liked lying comfortably on her favorite peach tree.
"Xiao Chenger, you’re awake?" The little woman smiled sweetly, looking refreshed and satisfied.
Bao Gucheng pinched the bridge of his nose: "Mm."
So he really was a gentleman last night and didn’t cross any boundaries?
But why did the little woman look at him as if she had known him for a long time?
"Xiao Chenger, the sun is so strong, why aren’t you using the umbrella Ancestor gave you?"
"What umbrella?" Bao Gucheng was a bit puzzled.
Zuzi lightly covered her red lips, realizing she had let something slip, she couldn’t help but sigh: "This memory-erasing Immortal Law is really too effective."
"What is Miss Zuzi talking about?"
"Ahem, that white umbrella, to protect you from wind and rain in the car.
"Alright."
Bao Gucheng carefully caressed the dragon-tail white umbrella in front of him again and again, as if seeing this gift for the first time, earnestly and joyfully.
Zuzi inexplicably felt a strange, slightly rough sensation in her throat, a feeling she had never experienced before!
"Xiao Chenger, we need to return now."
"We can eat lunch before we go."
Maybe even take a nap or something.
Bao Gucheng’s voice was a bit hoarse, completely revealing a man’s certain unfulfilled emptiness and loneliness.
Zuzi chuckled softly: "Ancestor doesn’t mind, but Xiao Chenger, you might not have the time."
"No, I’ve already canceled all arrangements." Bao Gucheng had already instructed Chen Long and Wei Yang, no one would bother him at this time.
Zuzi just smiled without saying anything.
Her body was light as she jumped down from the mast.
Bao Gucheng was just about to open his arms to catch her when his phone rang.
The corners of the man’s lips twitched slightly.
At this time, his phone shouldn’t have been ringing, which idiot was so tactless!
He hung up speechlessly.
But the remote communicator in the cabin started ringing.
Due to security clearance settings, when a subordinate makes an emergency report, the captain’s communicator will automatically play the voice message.
Bao Gucheng then heard Chen Long’s anxious voice coming from the cabin: "Mr. Bo, the Old President seems to have signs of waking up, do you want to come over?"
The case he had been exhausting all his efforts investigating, involving the burial of bodies in the deep mountains by Si She and others, had its clues break off with the Old President — because the old man had been in a coma due to illness for half a year, practically a vegetative state.
At this moment, signs of the Old President waking up, how could he not be present?
"Got it." Bao Gucheng turned off the communicator and looked back somewhat apologetically at Zuzi, "I promised to stay for lunch, but I have to leave myself, breaking the promise."
Zuzi smiled lightly, showing no sign of blame, instead comforting him: "It’s okay, just reschedule with Ancestor next time."
Bao Gucheng paused.
Suddenly realizing, just a minute ago, Zuzi seemed to have said "Xiao Chenger, you might not have the time."
She said it casually, yet it was so accurate!
The girl’s sixth sense is amazing.
Back to the city, it was Wei Yang driving to pick him up.
Zuzi suggested that he drop her off at the hotel.
Bao Gucheng’s lips pressed into a line, and he suddenly reached out to grab her small hand: "Miss Zuzi, I’ll come to pick you up tonight..."
"Um, no need, you handle your things. There’s a socialite party tonight; Ancestor has to attend."
"I can go with you."
"No need, Xiao Chenger, Xiao Yueyue will accompany Ancestor."
Bao Gucheng: "..."
The brother-in-law secretly trying to steal her again?
