Chapter 203 I'm sorry, I thought the room was empty.
Chapter 203 I'm sorry, I thought the room was empty.
An impatient question broke the silence. Yang Jie looked at Li Qingyou, who was dressed as a cleaner, and frowned.
He originally thought it was a "special program" prepared for Gu Heng, but he didn't expect it to be a cleaning lady who had accidentally wandered in, which made him somewhat disappointed and annoyed.
"Sorry, I thought no one was home. The room needs cleaning."
Li Qingyou lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, clearly from nervousness and embarrassment. Her hands gripped the cleaning tools tightly, as if they were her only support at that moment.
Yang Jie was about to explode in anger, but after looking around, he realized that this was not the right occasion to lose his temper, so he had to suppress his anger and turned to Gu Heng to explain:
"Mr. Gu, this is a misunderstanding. She is a cleaner at the bar. There must have been a mistake; she was sent to clean this room."
Gu Heng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Li Qingyou indifferently.
Li Qingyou felt a tightness in her chest under that gaze, and her anxiety intensified. She felt as if she were being held tightly by an invisible giant hand, unable to break free.
"The supervisor told me that the people in room 101 had just left and asked me to clean it."
Li Qingyou explained softly, her voice tinged with grievance and helplessness.
Li Qingyou had vaguely heard sounds coming from inside the private room from outside the door, and she felt uneasy, hesitating whether to go in. She was worried about disturbing the people inside, but at the same time, she was afraid of delaying their work.
After struggling internally for a moment, she finally mustered up her courage and knocked on the door of the private room, only to be met with this unexpected turn of events.
"Never mind, you should hurry up and clean up so as not to delay your work."
He noticed that Gu Heng's eyes had never left the cleaning lady ever since she came in.
Yang Jie's heart skipped a beat, realizing there might be something he didn't know about behind this. So, he immediately adjusted his tone, becoming gentler, and said to Li Qingyou,
Hearing Yang Jie's words, Li Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief. She gave him a grateful look, then lowered her head and began to carefully clean the private room.
Although she knew she was out of place in this setting, she tried her best to do her job well and not appear too conspicuous.
As Li Qingyou approached, Yang Jie's gaze involuntarily fell upon her. He carefully observed the cleaning lady and found that she was very young, with a delicate face bearing a hint of shyness and unease.
Her eyes were clear and bright, revealing a sense of innocence and kindness. Her hair was simply tied back, and she wore a blue cleaning uniform, which, though simple, was clean and tidy, giving her a refreshing appearance.
Yang Jie couldn't help but feel a bit curious about Li Qingyou.
He recalled Gu Heng's gaze, and a sudden thought arose in his mind:
Perhaps this girl has some special relationship with Gu Heng?
But then he thought again that it was unlikely. Gu Heng should be surrounded by beautiful women and socialites, how could he possibly be interested in an ordinary cleaning lady?
Despite thinking this, Yang Jie couldn't help but glance at Li Qingyou a few more times.
Gu Heng did not leave at this time. He sat quietly on the sofa, his gaze always following Li Qingyou's figure.
There seemed to be an indescribable emotion in his eyes, which Yang Jie found somewhat unfathomable.
"Mr. Gu, you haven't drunk this glass of wine I'm toasting you yet."
A woman dressed provocatively across from me raised her glass and said in a sweet, coquettish voice:
Upon hearing the words "President Gu," Li Qingyou's thoughts were instantly drawn back to Gu Heng, whom she had met at the Huo Group that morning.
