However, they stood waiting for almost five minutes in front of the elevator, swiping the access card and pressing the key. However, the elevator did not move, the floor number being displayed: [1st Floor].
“What is going on?”
Geng Hui was baffled, he swiped it again and waited for a while, but the elevator still didn’t move.
Time was pressing, Gu Ye called the property management to inquire about the situation.
The property manager apologized and explained, “I’m sorry Mr. Gu, the tenant across from you is moving in today. Luggages are being carried into the elevator to be transported upstairs. It might take a little time… “
Tsk.
Gu Ye glanced at the door of the place across from his with impatience.
Century Residence, due to structural reasons, it was impossible to install an elevator per residence.
As a result, two residences on the same floor had no choice but to share the same elevator.
This was also the reason why Gu Ye had been trying to find out who was the owner of the place across from his to buy his house.
However, it was Qiao Yang who moved in. Leaving him no choice but to waste time standing here in front of the elevator wasting time.
So troublesome.
Gu Ye raised his wrist to look at the time. A trace impatient cracked across the always calm and indifferent face.
A scowl appeared between his brows. There was not a trace of a smile within the peach blossoms eyes, but a concealed anger that could burst out at any time. His fingers were tapping irregularly on his arms that were folded in front of the chest.
He said, “Forget it, take the stairs!”
Only twenty-five floors, it was not that difficult to walk down either.
The two people were about to leave when the elevator numbers began to change: 2, 3, 4, 5 ……
—Ding Dong— the elevator doors opened.
However, they were faced with an oncoming hand-pushed trolley cart.
It was filled with boxes of shopping bags with goods; pots, bowls, ladles, basin and toilet paper could also be seen as well. The pile stacked up as high as the elevator doors.
Behind the goods, a man with a round face wearing spectacles was struggling to push the cart out.
With a little force he, the stack of high goods would sway, there would be an immediate sign of danger of toppling over.
Geng Hui quickly stood in front of Gu Ye to protect him, while warning him, “Be careful, the things are going to fall over.”
Liu Wen stretched out his head to take a look and was immediately surprised, “Oh! It’s President Gu, you are also living here? Are you going out?
“Ai, our Young Master Qiao just moved over, so the luggages is quite a lot. It took some time to transport everything. I’m sorry, I’ll get out of the way immediately.”
He quickly pushed the cart out in panic, the movement was too sudden, the wheel was caught by the gap between the elevator and the floor of the corridors.
The cargo that originally had an unstable center of gravity, tilted forward and fell down with a crash.
“Ai ya!”
Followed with Liu Wen shouting out in fright.
The topmost shopping bag smashed over Gu Ye’s head.
Gu Ye was annoyed, instinctively raised his hand to block it one after another. The items in the shopping bag scattered everywhere.
However, there was a small object that had no eyes, and it just fell straight on his face with a “plop“.
Gu Ye pressed suppressed the fire in his heart, ferociously grabbed it in his hand, and then looked down.
It was a small neatly packaged box of… men’s underwear.
It also reads: A show of virility and boundless tolerance.
Gu Ye’s face had completely darkened.
There was so much commotion outside that Qiao Yang couldn’t help but open the door to see what was going on.
The scene before his eyes was: Liu Wen repeatedly apologizing, Geng Hui was scolding with a disdainful face, and Gu Ye holding a pack of underwear in his hand with a black face.
The pots, bowls, ladle, basin and toilet paper scattered on the floor, and also paper boxes of all sizes announced what had happened just now.
Qiao Yang held his forehead.
Is it too late for me to close the door and go in?
Why on earth did I open the door to face this terrible mess?!!!
Liu Wen was fumbling on the floor to clean up the floor in a flurry: “I’m sorry President Gu, for smashing you just now, I’m really sorry.”
What?
To even fall on Gu Ye?
This is an enemy on a narrow road![1]
Qiao Yang summoned the courage to walk out.
His attitude was sincere and his tone was gentle, “My assistant handles his work improperly, so I hold myself responsible. Is President Gu hurt anywhere?”
Gu Ye glared at him, then raised the packet of underwear in his hand and it hit Qiao Yang’s chest with a “Pa!”, neither light nor heavy.
The good-looking peach blossom eyes were no longer as gentle and as soft as before, he raised his eyebrows and his voice was cold as he emphasized his words. “No. Matter.”
The sudden slap had shocked Qiao Yang, he couldn’t help taking two steps back. He reflexively caught the underwear, and was slightly stunned by Gu Ye’s loss of composure.
Heh, he seems really angry.
He disregarded all etiquette and did not pretend to be polite.
Qiao Yang gritted his teeth and smiled: “It’s good that President Gu is fine, if you are really injured, I can not afford to take the responsibility, either.”
Gu Ye ‘humph!’ and did not speak again. After Liu Wen and Geng Hui carried out all the things that were scattered in the elevator, he turned around and entered the elevator then pressed the number 1.
Just before the elevator’s door closed, his eyes looked back and forth between the package of underwear in Qiao Yang’s hands and his body.
He suddenly tilted his head, the corner of his mouth curled up with a trace of a smirk, his voice raised, “Size M? Could it even get up?”
Qiao Yang, ? ? ?
