The supervisor was startled when he heard that. Anyone with the surname Gu was practically “royal relatives.” Could it be that this kid really had been called up by them?
Gu Wan’er had already been annoyed with this supervisor yesterday. She felt like he was targeting her.
“Supervisor He, this is Gu Wan’er. Yu Xiaoduo was just with me. Do you have a problem with that?” Gu Wan’er’s stern voice came through the phone, scaring Supervisor He half to death. It was actually General Manager Gu! How did Yu Xiaoduo end up being called by her?
Supervisor He immediately started explaining, “General Manager Gu, it’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t know Yu Xiaoduo had gone to see you.”
“As a leader, is it really appropriate for you to wrongly accuse your subordinates like this?”
“I’m sorry, General Manager Gu, I was wrong.”
“You don’t need to apologize to me. Apologize to him!”
Yu Xiaoduo let out a little “Ooh la la” in his heart. Even though General Manager Gu’s thinking was a bit slow, she still knew how to win people over.
Supervisor He didn’t dare say another word and quickly apologized, “Yu Xiaoduo, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”
“Forget it, it’s no big deal.” The two of them played off each other like a doubles team, scaring Supervisor He quite badly.
After hanging up, Yu Xiaoduo said casually, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, Supervisor He, I’m going back to work.”
Supervisor He immediately rushed to the door and opened it himself. “Brother Yu, please.”
Yu Xiaoduo: “…”
This Supervisor He really knew how to adapt. He was more than ten years older than me, and yet he called me “brother.” What a character.
He probably already assumed Yu Xiaoduo was close to General Manager Gu. In this company, if you weren’t tight with the Gu family, being a supervisor was as far as you could go.
Qian Longhu watched Yu Xiaoduo come back looking as if nothing had happened and was baffled. How was this possible?
“Qian Longhu, get into my office!” Supervisor He suddenly barked.
Yu Xiaoduo really hadn’t expected that. Supervisor He had ambitions to climb the ladder. A wave of scolding echoed from the supervisor’s office. When Qian Longhu came out, he looked utterly humiliated. But his grudge against Yu Xiaoduo only grew deeper—even the supervisor was protecting him.
Nothing else happened for the rest of the day. After work, Yu Xiaoduo and Zhao Liang went to an internet cafe for a few hours, grabbed some late-night food, and then headed home. Aside from not having a girlfriend, his life was pretty darn comfortable.
The next day, a ray of sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom. Yu Xiaoduo smacked his lips. Why did his chest feel heavy again today? He reached out and touched it.
Then his eyes shot wide open.
Dang it, he had turned into Gu Wan’er again.
He grabbed his phone from the pillow and called her directly.
Gu Wan’er, who had been sleeping soundly, reached out, fumbled for her phone, and lazily said, “Hello?”
“Gu Wan’er, what kind of black magic did you use? How did I turn into you again?”
Gu Wan’er’s eyes flew open. This time, she threw off the covers and looked at herself. She had turned into Yu Xiaoduo again.
“I didn’t do anything! I just watched some TV when I got home yesterday and then went to bed.” Gu Wan’er swore she hadn’t used any black magic. Sure, she wanted Yu Xiaoduo’s help, but not that badly.
Yu Xiaoduo let out a long sigh, as if he really didn’t want to switch. But the corners of his mouth kept curling up. He hadn’t collected the “interest” from last time yet—now he’d collect it all, principal and interest.
“I’m going to take a shower,” Yu Xiaoduo said seriously.
“Yu Xiaoduo!” Gu Wan’er’s embarrassed and angry voice immediately came through the phone.
“Gu Wan’er, yesterday morning you were the one who said to keep clean. And now today you’re not letting me wash?”
Gu Wan’er felt like crying but had no tears. How did she end up stuck with this guy?
“Fine, I won’t wash. I’ll stink to high heaven and wait for you to come back and wash yourself.”
Gu Wan’er said coquettishly, “If you’re going to wash, just wash! Just don’t let me know about it!”
Oh ho, what a perfect case of “burying one’s head in the sand.” That saying fit her perfectly right now.
“I’m just teasing you. You’re not really mad, are you?”
“Yu Xiaoduo, can you just act normal? Does making me angry really make you feel better?”
Yu Xiaoduo chuckled. “I don’t know why, but I just love the way you get mad but can’t do anything about me.”
“****!”
After hanging up, Yu Xiaoduo threw off the covers and stretched. A girl’s room really was different from a guy’s—it smelled so nice. He thought they wouldn’t switch again, but here it was today. As long as it wasn’t permanent, he was fine with it. After all, Yu Xiaoduo preferred being the “attacker.”
He walked into Gu Wan’er’s walk-in closet and started thinking about what to wear today. He just wanted to see the hungry looks in the guys’ eyes, knowing they couldn’t have him. How frustrating was that for them?
On the other side, Gu Wan’er sat on the bed in a daze for a while. When she noticed that Yu Xiaoduo had thrown his clothes around again, she cursed under her breath. He was so messy! She had no choice but to get up and clean up after him.
That’s when she realized she wasn’t wearing any clothes. She cursed Yu Xiaoduo for being an exhibitionist—sleeping without pajamas.
While washing up, she even saw Yu Xiaoduo’s unwashed underwear. Her whole body went numb. She had to grit her teeth and wash them for him. It was the first time in her life she had washed a guy’s underwear.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Duoduo, Mom’s coming in.”
“Mm.”
Tang Ling pushed the door open and walked in. To her surprise, her son was actually making the bed? The whole bedroom was neat and tidy.
Had the sun risen in the west today? Since when was he so diligent?
“Duoduo, don’t take the blind date thing to heart. Your dad asked around. That girl is pretty materialistic. It’s good that it didn’t work out.”
When the blind date came up, Gu Wan’er felt incredibly guilty. “Mom, don’t worry. I promise I’ll find you a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future.”
Tang Ling paused for a moment. The little rascal had always called her “Mom,” but today he changed it up. Was he short on money?
“Is that so? Is it the girl from the car the other day?”
Gu Wan’er thought to herself that Yu Xiaoduo’s mother had a good eye, but Yu Xiaoduo wasn’t her type. “Of course not. But she’ll definitely be just as good.”
“You’re all talk. Tomorrow’s the weekend. Your dad and I are going to your grandma’s house. Do you want to come?”
Without even thinking, Gu Wan’er said, “I’d better not.”
“That’s fine. Your dad and I won’t be home. If you like any girl, feel free to bring her here. No need to go to a hotel.”
Gu Wan’er: “…”
She never expected Yu Xiaoduo’s mother to be so open-minded. Her own mother would never say something like that.
She sat down at the table. Tang Ling was in the kitchen scooping porridge. Gu Wan’er felt that Yu Xiaoduo’s father was much more serious, similar to her own dad.
Suddenly, Gu Wan’er saw Yu Xiaoduo’s father sneak something to her from under the table.
Curious, Gu Wan’er took it and looked down.
Trojan?
What was that?
“Duoduo, even though your mom wants grandchildren, you need to be sure about who you go after. Take the necessary precautions.” Yu Taiduo leaned over and whispered.
Gu Wan’er felt just like Yu Xiaoduo had yesterday—completely shattered. Even an idiot would know what the box in her hand was.
“What are you two whispering about, all sneaky like that?”
Yu Taiduo smiled and said, “Nothing.”
“Oh my, Duoduo, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?”
Gu Wan’er suddenly realized that Yu Xiaoduo was still too green. These two were the real masters.
After breakfast, Gu Wan’er fled like her life depended on it. Yu Xiaoduo’s family was just too open-minded. She needed time to adjust.
As soon as she got to the underground garage, she saw Fatty waiting there.
“Brother Yu, good morning.”
“Morning.”
“Want a cigarette?”
“Smoking early in the morning is bad for your health.”
Zhao Liang: “????????”
Was that really something my Brother Yu would say? Since when did anything we do care about what’s good for our health?
