Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 829 - 826: Yeah, No Problem Living Together

"All right. Once you get over there, remember to keep a low profile and don’t make any fuss."

"Okay. But I have a request."

"Speak."

"I want to bring someone along."

-

When Gu Li woke up, she found herself on a plane and was startled. Luckily, she saw Gu Chen beside her, which calmed her down.

"Gu Chen, why are we here?"

Gu Chen was sitting next to her, flipping through a magazine. Hearing her words, he didn’t even lift his eyelids, "Last-minute business trip."

Gu Li was instantly displeased, "Why did you bring me along for a last-minute business trip?"

He put down the newspaper and looked at her, "Gu Li, you’re my assistant now. The boss goes on a business trip, the assistant follows along. Any problem?"

Yes!

It’s a big problem!

"You should have informed me beforehand. Our upcoming work can’t proceed as planned." This was what worried Gu Li the most.

A week’s worth of work had been planned out, but the last-minute trip completely disrupted her schedule. Once she returned from the trip, she’d have to spend a long time rearranging things. Just thinking about those headache-inducing itineraries made Gu Li want to groan.

"Don’t worry, someone will take care of those things."

Gu Li lowered her head, pouting, and secretly felt a bit disdain for him. Then she sat back down next to him and continued sleeping.

She didn’t see the man beside her curl his lips slightly at the sight of her sleeping face, showcasing his good mood. But that mood didn’t last long as it quickly worsened.

This trip to the United States was not safe, but he insisted on taking her along, for no reason other than to feel at ease with her there.

However, they encountered a problem on the very first day in the United States.

Lu Jinyang’s people thought he was traveling alone and only booked one room!

Gu Li looked at Gu Chen with tears of frustration, "Now what? Is there another room in the hotel? It’s so late, we’re unlikely to find anywhere else to stay."

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen nodded seriously, "You’re right, it’s hard to find another hotel so late, so we’ll stay here."

"Then where will you stay?" Gu Li asked instinctively.

He raised an eyebrow, "Of course, here too."

"But..." Something crossed her mind, and Gu Li looked at him strangely, "Weren’t you the one telling me to stay here?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Yes, we’ll stay together, no problem."

"..."

In the end, Gu Li had no other choice but to follow Gu Chen back to the room. When she saw the large bed, she couldn’t help but shrink back.

She had slept in the same bed with Gu Chen twice before; once she was forced by him, the other time by Xiao Qing.

But this time, it was voluntary.

To be honest, this felt completely different from the previous two times; there was no resistance, just a worry that sharing the bed might be awkward.

After packing his luggage, Gu Chen took his pajamas and headed to the bathroom. She knew he didn’t like wearing hotel robes, and she shared the same habit.

She stood at the foot of the bed, looking at the double bed, her heart churning, extremely anxious.

Meanwhile, the sound of running water came from the bathroom, soft but audible.

She instinctively gripped her clothes tightly, hesitated for a long time, then opened her suitcase, rummaging for clothes. When she found them, she was petrified.

Back in B City, her home had heating, so all her pajamas were light and airy. This time she hadn’t been notified of the sudden trip in advance and only found out once on the plane.
