He didn’t think too much at that time. After the chauffeur opened the car door and called his attention, he bent and got into the car.
He returned to the office and had a whole day conference.
When the conference was over, it was already nine in the evening.
He had wanted to go back home, but when picked up the private phone, and was about to ring his chauffeur to tell the chauffeur to prepare the car, he remembered that a woman had moved into his house today.
He directly hung up the phone without dialling. He then he leaned against the office chair, and started smoking. He smoked and smoked and he had no idea why, but the image of Liang Dou Kou, which he had seen earlier that day at his grandfather’s mansion, suddenly leapt into his mind.
His arm suddenly stopped in the middle of lifting a cigarette to his lips, and his entire body froze up like he had been pressed on an acupuncture point[1].
He only woke up when the cigarette had burnt to the tip and scorched his fingertips. Then, in the bottom of his heart, he gave Liang Dou Kou a single a.s.sessment: Her eyes…… are seriously G.o.ddam big.
He thought that this spell of absentmindedness was just a onetime thing. Who would have thought that two days later, when he, Lu Ban Cheng and several other friends went out to play golf, Lu Ban Cheng would for some reason, during a conversation with someone else, mention the name “Liang Dou Kou”.
At that time, Gu Yu Sheng was holding a golf ball stick in his hand, and was just about to swing, but when he heard the three words “Liang Dou Kou”, his hand shook, the stick went askew, and missed the ball.
Lu Ban Cheng looked as if he had seen something inconceivable. He jumped up from his chair on the side, and biting on the straw in his beer bottle, he laughed vulgarly. “F**k, Sheng-ge, you actually missed? You couldn’t have been thinking about a woman, were you?”
Right after Lu Ban Cheng finished saying those words, Gu Yu Sheng froze. Lu Ban Cheng was right, when he heard those three words “Liang Dou Kou”, for some unexplainable reason, the image of Liang Dou Kou staring at him at his grandfather’s mansion flashed past his mind.
He had known Liang Dou Kou for over twenty years and never once had he thought that Liang Dou Kou was like what the outside world proclaimed, breathtakingly beautiful beyond compare.
But at that moment, he actually felt that Liang Dou Kou, the person who he had considered to be beneath his notice all along…… didn’t look bad at all.
Especially those eyes that she had directed at him, watery and bright, like it could suck out a person’s soul.
“Hey? Don’t tell me I hit the bullseye, you really are thinking about a woman?” Seeing that Gu Yu Sheng hadn’t responded for a long time, Lu Ban Cheng reached out his hand and patted Gu Yu Sheng’s shoulder.
He immediately snapped back with a start, realised that Liang Dou Kou’s appearance had popped up in his head two times in a row, and suddenly became agitated and irritable. He slammed the golf stick onto the ground, and without saying a word, grabbed his coat, and left.
When he returned to the car, he received a call from his grandpa. He was first given a big chewing out for not going home, and was then told: Don’t use being busy as an excuse. He had already taken charge and returned down that project in Huainan for Gu Yu Sheng already.
He had already been irritated because of that woman in his house, and now because of her meddling again, he had now lost that project he had been keeping a close watch on for three months……
A nameless hot-tempered flame slowly seethed up inside of him. He drove back to the company, took a shower, and smoked a good number of cigarettes. Just when he had finally calmed down, his grandpa rang again, asking him why he still hadn’t gone back home even when it was already so late.
