Chapter 54: His Ruthlessness

When she woke up the next morning, everything seemed the same as before. At least Suo He still couldn't figure out what had felt off about the night before. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more the sensation of Gu Mo's kiss kept swirling in her mind, making her feel a bit dizzy. This led to her instinctive reaction at the breakfast table when she saw Gu Mo—she lowered her head, not daring to look at him, let alone meet his deep gaze.

Gu Mo was dressed in a dark blue velvet suit. As a man of his stature, he was always in places with heating or air conditioning, with everything he needed delivered by专人. He paid no attention to the changing seasons. So even though it was a bright and sweltering morning outside, he still wore his tailored suit meticulously.

Gu Mo had an excellent figure, with broad and flat shoulders and well-defined pectoral muscles. He was the epitome of a clothes hanger. Even when seated in a wheelchair, he could project an aura that was uniquely his through his suit.

He usually wore a stern expression, emotionless and distant. But for some reason today, there was a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. The servants, noticing his good mood, found it a bit easier to serve him.

"Sir, as you requested, today's breakfast consists of the mushroom beef buns that Miss He likes and freshly squeezed soy milk," the servant said. These were all handmade in the kitchen, not only cleaner than those from outside but also nutritious and delicious.

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said to the person with her head buried in the table, "If you don't eat soon, you'll be late for work today."

Gu Mengbao had already changed into his clothes for the shooting class today—a child-sized combat uniform that looked very spirited on him. He looked at his father and then at his mother beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, did you bully Mommy?"

Instead of answering directly, Gu Mo turned to Suo He and asked, "Yi Yi, what do you think? Did I bully you?"

His deep voice deliberately dragged out the last word, husky and sensual, which immediately reminded Suo He of the sound of him whispering and laughing in her ear last night. Her cheeks flushed red instantly. She replied in a soft voice, "No..."

The girl's shyness pleased Gu Mo. At least she was becoming more aware than usual. If he didn't do something to teach her, he didn't know how much longer he could hold back...

Knowing he needed to give Suo He some time, Gu Mo quickly finished his breakfast and prepared to go to the company. Before leaving, he maneuvered his wheelchair to Suo He's side. The closeness of his breath made the already shy person stiffen. Without saying anything, he left the mansion.

After Gu Mo left, Suo He let out a sigh of relief. She looked towards the door, but Gu Mo was already gone. She hadn't spoken much with Mr. Gu this morning, and now she felt a bit regretful.

"Mommy," Gu Yan Baby said, sipping his milk with great interest, "Dad did bully you, didn't he?"

If Suo He were a normal person, she would have seen the teasing in her child's eyes, which was exactly the same as that of the mischievous man! No wonder they were father and son...

Suo He shook her head vigorously, refusing to admit it: "I said no, and I mean no!"

After saying that, she asked the child stealthily, "Xiao Yan, can you tell me something?"

"Sure, Mommy, what is it?" Gu Yan Baby sat up straight, acting very mature for his age.

"Sometimes, I feel like my heart is beating so fast. Will that kill me? Do I need to see a doctor?"

After she asked this innocent question, a servant who overheard her burst into laughter. Suo He looked at her in confusion, not understanding what was so funny.

Gu Yan glanced at the servant warningly, then held his mother's hand and said, "It's okay, you don't need a doctor. You'll feel better if you find Dad."

The little boy, who was lying through his teeth, was once again subtly helping his father. Suo He actually believed him and decided to find Mr. Gu, completely forgetting why she felt this way.

After arriving at the company, Gu Mo took the elevator straight to the top floor and entered his office. The secretary followed closely behind: "Boss, a lady with the surname Su wants to see you."

"I won't see her. Tell her to leave," Gu Mo said without looking up. He had guessed that Su Youyou, who had been driven away yesterday, would come here today. This morning, he had not arranged for a luxury car to pick her up anymore.

Suddenly deprived of such a good car to show off, Su Youyou naturally became anxious. Moreover, in the Su family, Yang Cui had already told the family about Yang Er. They had privately asked Yang Er to explain, and the only reply they got was that they had offended someone they shouldn't, and they should stop bothering him.

They could guess who it was—Gu Mo. He was the only one capable of doing such a thing. Gu Mo was never soft-hearted in his actions, and this was just the beginning of the lesson. If the family backed off now, Gu Mo would consider their years of taking care of Suo He and let them go. But if they were foolish enough to persist, Gu Mo would show them what it meant to be truly powerless and in pain.

The secretary was ordered to drive Su Youyou away, but she refused to leave. Perhaps the enjoyment of the past few days had blinded her into thinking that Gu Mo must have some feelings for her and wouldn't be so heartless. She pleaded with the secretary to give her a chance to see Gu Mo.

The secretary shook her head: "If I give you this chance, I'll lose my job. Stop bothering me, or I'll have to call security to escort you out."

Su Youyou's face changed: "If I see Gu Mo and explain things to him, your job will definitely be safe!"

The secretary, who had seen through Su Youyou's intentions long ago, advised her kindly: "I've seen many women like you. To be honest, the boss won't even glance at you. Just leave."

Before Su Youyou could say anything more, the secretary received an internal call from Gu Mo: "If she still refuses to leave, tell her that if she stays for another minute, her job will be gone."

This finally made Su Youyou back down, and she left reluctantly.

She had boasted to her colleagues a few days ago about her future wedding plans—she would hold her wedding at the most luxurious hotel in Longcheng, with an even better car to pick her up. Many people were envious of her. But this morning, she had to take the bus to the hospital again, and someone asked why her boyfriend wasn't driving her. Su Youyou made up an excuse to get by, but she knew that if this continued, everyone would see through her lies.
