Under the golden lights of the fashion party, Lin Wei felt as if she were about to melt.
The Champagne tower refracts dazzling light, and the air is filled with the scents of high-end perfumes and luxurious people. As a new planner in an advertising company, she was not qualified to participate in such a top-level social event. It was only through the influence of her senior, Su Man, that she was able to get in and broaden her horizons.
"Weiwei, come quickly!" Let me introduce you to Mr. Wang. Their brand has a big project next year. Su Man grabbed Lin Wei's hand and pulled her into a business circle full of suits and ties.
Lin Wei forced a professional smile and took the wine glass handed to her by someone unknown. Cup after cup, she couldn't remember how much she had drunk. All I can remember is constantly nodding, smiling and handing out business cards. My stomach is burning.
"Sorry, I'm going to the restroom." She finally found an excuse to escape.
In the mirror, my cheeks were flushed and my eye makeup was a bit smudged. Lin Wei leaned against the washbasin, feeling as if the whole world was spinning. She really exceeded the limit tonight. Her alcohol tolerance is just average.
"Weiwei, are you okay?" " Su Man sent a wechat message.
"Feeling a bit dizzy. I might have to go back first." " She replied.
"Come on! The main event hasn't started yet!" I heard that Gu Chenyu will come tonight!"
Gu Chenyu. This name made Lin Wei come to her senses a little. The most powerful new rich in Beijing, a myth in the tech and investment circles, a legendary figure who topped the wealth list at the age of only 32. For such a minor role as her, one can only look at his photos in financial magazines.
"I really can't do it anymore. I have a terrible headache." " After Lin Wei replied, she leaned against the wall and walked out of the bathroom.
The hustle and bustle of the party was left behind, and the elevator carried her down slowly. Lin Wei leaned against the mirror and closed her eyes. Alcohol dulls the mind, and the only clear thing is the desire to lie down.
The elevator opened with a "ding", and she staggered out. Relying on her vague memory, she found the door, swiped her card and pushed it open.
No. This isn't her room.
In a daze, she became aware of the problem, but her body was no longer obedient. The indoor lighting was dim and soft, much larger than her standard room. What attracted her most was the oversized bed in the middle, which looked as soft as the clouds.
"Just lie down for five minutes..." She muttered to herself, kicked off her high heels and collapsed onto the bed.
The silk bed sheet is cool and smooth, with a hint of cedar fragrance. Lin Wei let out a contented sigh and fell into a half-awake, half-asleep state.
-
When Gu Chenyu returned to the penthouse suite after a boring social gathering, it was already midnight.
Loosening his tie, he immediately noticed the fallen silver high heels at the entrance. Then there was the figure curled up into a small ball on the bed.
Woman.
He sneered. Over the years, the tricks of sending someone to his bed have been endless, but for the first time, someone has successfully sneaked into his private domain. The security system needs a comprehensive upgrade. He will fire the negligent security supervisor tomorrow.
"Get up." His voice was cold and hard, and he turned on the ceiling light.
The person on the bed moved a little, gave a discontented grumble, but did not get up. A long, jet-black head spread out on the pillow, covering most of the face.
Gu Chenyu strode over and, without any hesitation, pulled off the quilt. "I say, get up --"
Words are stuck in the throat.
Under the light, her face was fully revealed. It was not the flamboyant type he had imagined; instead, it had a kind of fresh beauty. The long eyelashes cast a shadow on the face, the cheeks were flushed from intoxication, and the lips were slightly open, as if inviting something.
What stunned him the most was that she was not one of those women who were deliberately arranged. He recognized the face - two hours ago, he had caught a glimpse of her in the party crowd. At that time, she was trying hard to smile at the client, but her eyes showed discomfort, like a little deer that had strayed into a pack of wolves.
How could you be here?
"Um..." " She seemed to be disturbed by the light, frowning and turning over, with one hand unconsciously resting on his arm.
The electric shock-like sensation gave Gu Chenyu a slight jolt. He should have immediately asked the security guard to take the person away, but some inexplicable emotion made him hesitate. Perhaps it was the alcohol at play, or perhaps the moonlight was too bright tonight. He just stood by the bedside, watching this strange woman who had intruded into his territory.
Her dress rolled up above her thighs as she turned over, exposing her smooth skin. Gu Chenyu took a deep breath and tried to look away, only to find that he couldn't do it.
Damn it. When did Gu Chenyu ever take advantage of someone's predicament?
"Water..." She suddenly murmured, her eyes opening a slit.
Their eyes met.
Lin Wei blinked, seemingly not understanding why there was a man standing by the bedside. And he was an extremely handsome man, with distinct features and deep eyes, looking at her with a complex and indistinguishable gaze.
It's good that you're awake. Gu Chenyu regained his composure and said, "Explain why you are here." "
Lin Wei propped herself up, her mind dizzy. This isn't her room and she doesn't know this man either. Panic gradually rose. She tightened her collar and asked, "Who are you?" Where is this?
This is my suite. He raised his eyebrows. "You barged in."
Fragments of memory gradually piece together: parties, drunkenness, looking for a room... Oh my god! She didn't make it to the top floor, did she? The entire hotel has only one penthouse suite, which belongs to --
"Gu..." Gu Chenyu?" Her voice trembled.
It seems you recognize me. His tone was sarcastic. "So, who sent you here?" Mr. Zhang? Mr. Li? Or do you have your own thoughts?"
The sense of humiliation made Lin Wei's cheeks burn. This is a misunderstanding! I was drunk and went to the wrong room... "I'm leaving right away!"
She tried to stand up, but the alcohol made her dizzy. As soon as she got up, she fell back and was subconsciously caught by Gu Chenyu.
In an instant, the two were so close that they could feel each other's breathing. He had a faint scent of sandalwood and whisky, which was surprisingly pleasant. Lin Wei's heart beat faster for no reason.
Where can you go like this? His deep voice shook her eardrums.
"I..." I can call a taxi home..."
"One o 'clock in the morning, a drunk single woman?" He snorted coldly, "It would be strange if nothing happened."
"What should we do then?" " She asked helplessly.
Gu Chenyu gazed into her moist eyes, and a certain impulse triumphed over reason. He hadn't developed such a strong interest in anyone for a long time.
"Stay here tonight." He decided, "Sleep on the sofa."
-
Lin Wei curled up on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, unable to fall asleep at all. On the one hand, it's because no matter how luxurious the sofa is, it can never be as comfortable as a bed. On the other hand, it's because of the fact that Gu Chenyu is lying in the bedroom.
She actually spent the night in Gu Chenyu's suite. If Su Man found out, he would surely scream.
In the dead of night, as the alcohol was gradually metabolized, she became more and more awake. Thinking of my embarrassment just now, I wished I could find a crack in the ground to hide in. I must slip away quietly early tomorrow morning as if nothing had happened.
Just as she was lost in thought, a dull thud came from the bedroom, as if someone had fallen down.
"Mr. Gu?" She asked softly.
There was no response.
After a moment's hesitation, she got up and walked towards the bedroom. The door was not closed. She saw Gu Chenyu lying on the carpet, his brows furrowed and his breathing rapid.
Are you okay? She hurried forward and found that his forehead was burning hot and he was having a fever.
Gu Chenyu half-opened his eyes, his voice hoarse: "Medicine..." In the drawer..."
Lin Wei found the medicine box, but there were only band-aids and ordinary painkillers inside. Seeing his pained look, her heart tightened.
I'll call a doctor.
"No..." He grabbed her wrist and said, "There's an important contract tomorrow. We can't spread the news that I'm ill."
Lin Wei had no choice but to use a wet towel to help him cool down physically. The business tycoon who was once unattainable in my impression is unexpectedly vulnerable at this moment. With his eyes closed, his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, losing a bit of his usual sharpness and adding a touch of softness.
"Why help me?" " He suddenly asked, his eyes still closed.
"Surely we can't just stand by and do nothing when someone is in danger." " She whispered, "Change the towel that has cooled down."
Gu Chenyu chuckled softly and then fell asleep. Lin Wei stood by the side and, without realizing it, also fell asleep by the bedside.
-
Sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling Windows, startling Lin Wei. I found myself back on the sofa at some point, covered with a blanket.
On the coffee table was a brand-new dress, and its size was exactly hers. On a card beside it were written vigorous and powerful words:
Thank you. Clothes are an apology. "Gu
How could he actually remember her size? Lin Wei blushed a little. But what worried her even more was that he just left like that without even having a chance to thank him in person.
Well, we are not from the same world anyway.
Lin Wei changed her clothes and quietly left the suite. Back in her standard room, she felt as if everything that had happened last night was like a dream.
It was not until she reached the hard business card in her pocket - pure black, with only her name and a string of personal phone numbers.
Not a dream.
-
One week later, at the company meeting, the director announced a major piece of news:
"Everyone, we have won the project of Chenxing Technology!" This is the company's biggest client this year. Everyone must go all out!
The meeting room was in an uproar. Chenxing Technology is a core enterprise under Gu Chenyu. Winning over this client means huge profits and industry prestige.
Lin Wei's heart gave a jolt. Could it be such a coincidence?
"Special praise should be given to Lin Wei," the director suddenly called out. "Mr. Gu personally appointed her as the project leader."
All eyes were fixed on her, with envy, surprise and jealousy.
After the meeting was over, Su Man came over immediately and asked, "What's going on?" Did Gu Chenyu specifically ask for you? When did you two get to know each other?
Lin Wei was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain.
At this moment, her phone lit up and a strange message popped up:
"Looking forward to cooperation. By the way, is my pajamas still with you?
Lin Wei almost threw her mobile phone out.
The silk pajama pants that had fallen in her bag were indeed his.
What was even more terrifying was that she found herself actually looking forward to seeing him again.
The story of a big shot in Beijing and an advertising clerk has just begun.
