The Crazy Villain Wants Me to Love Her - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Can I Borrow Your Phone? Secretly Installing a Tracker

The next morning.

Jiang Chilou in the living room saw Butler Lin leading people with batches of evening gowns into the first-floor cloakroom, and she couldn’t help but look at Gu Wan beside her: “What’s going on?”

“Evening gowns prepared for you,” Gu Wan turned her head, gesturing for Jiang Chilou to come over: “Go have a look and pick one for tomorrow night.”

“All of these are for me?” Jiang Chilou’s eyes widened slightly.

Gu Wan hummed and stood up: “Let’s go, try them on.”

“Oh… okay.” Jiang Chilou obediently stood up and walked with Gu Wan to the cloakroom on the first floor.

Jiang Chilou rarely came to this cloakroom on the first floor, as most of her usual clothes and jewelry were kept on the second floor. As for Gu Wan, she also seldom used this cloakroom.

Consequently, when Jiang Chilou walked in, she saw many clothes with their tags still attached, as well as the pile of evening gowns that Butler Lin and the others had just brought in, now neatly hanging on the racks, awaiting selection.

Jiang Chilou was dazzled by the neatly arranged rows of evening gowns.

Butler Lin, seeing this, tactfully greeted Gu Wan and led the others out of the cloakroom quietly. Soon, only Gu Wan and Jiang Chilou remained there.

Jiang Chilou looked around the evening gowns and found that the styles were all very suitable for her, and any one of them would be perfect for tomorrow’s banquet.

With a smile in her eyes, she quickly walked back to Gu Wan’s side: “These dresses are all so beautiful. I really like them.”

Gu Wan smiled: “I’m glad you like them.”

“Pick a few to try on to see the effect and if they fit.” This batch of dresses was made based on the measurements taken for her custom wedding dress. She wondered if they still fit now?

Gu Wan glanced sideways, subtly sweeping her gaze over Jiang Chilou. After pausing briefly at her waist and other areas, she quickly looked away.

Presumably, they should still fit.

Jiang Chilou nodded lightly, assented, and then asked Gu Wan: “What about your evening gown?”

“What does it look like? Should we try to coordinate?”

“Over there.” Gu Wan raised a finger to point.

Jiang Chilou looked in the direction she pointed and saw a black strapless gown with a high slit, neatly hanging in the spacious wardrobe.

Simple yet sexy.

“It’s very beautiful, very suitable for you,” Jiang Chilou complimented sincerely.

After saying this, Jiang Chilou began to choose her dresses, quickly picking out a black and white one-shoulder dress and an off-white layered dress.

“I want to try these two. What do you think?”

Gu Wan scanned the two dresses in Jiang Chilou’s hands and nodded: “Both are good.”

Jiang Chilou smiled: “Then you sit here and wait for me for a bit. I’m going to change.”

“Okay.” Gu Wan agreed and found a small sofa to sit on while Jiang Chilou went to change.

As soon as she sat down, her phone buzzed.

She lowered her eyes and saw a message on her work WeChat account.

Secretary Li: “CEO Gu, the item you requested has been developed by the technology department.”

“Link…”

“Good.” Gu Wan lowered her eyes and put down her phone.

At the same time, Jiang Chilou finished changing and walked out.

“Gu Wan, look how I look in this one?” She walked up to Gu Wan, holding the hem of the skirt slightly with both hands as she spun around.

The black strapless, one-shoulder dress was sparsely adorned with fine diamonds up to the waistline, and below the waistline, the pure white tulle skirt flared out slightly.

The moment Jiang Chilou lifted the hem and twirled gently with a smile, she looked like an elf.

Gu Wan couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

After a long while, she slowly opened her lips: “It looks very good.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chilou smiled and turned to look in the mirror: “I think it looks very good too! And it matches your dress very well.”

“How about I wear this one tomorrow, and I won’t bother trying the other one.”

“What do you think?” she asked Gu Wan, turning around.

Gu Wan nodded: “That’s fine.”

“Then I’ll go change back into my clothes now, and we can leave.”

Gu Wan: “Okay.”

After leaving the cloakroom, Gu Wan lightly rubbed her fingertips, turned her head, and asked the person beside her: “Do you want to go see the study on the third floor?”

Jiang Chilou: “Huh?”

Gu Wan looked at her: “Haven’t you been to the study at home yet?”

“Since we don’t have anything else going on right now, why don’t you come with me to see the study? If you ever need to work, you can go there. It should be more convenient.”

Jiang Chilou looked at Gu Wan: “Is that appropriate? The study seems to have all your things.”

She had previously avoided going into the study because she knew Gu Wan often worked there. So, even when she needed to use a computer, she would just find a random spot with her laptop.

The main reason was that she was too lazy to go all the way to the study.

Gu Wan chuckled and asked her in return: “Why wouldn’t it be appropriate?”

“Since we are married, we are one. As for other things… you can slowly add your own belongings too, can’t you?”

Jiang Chilou was rendered silent by Gu Wan’s question. After a long moment, she chuckled awkwardly: “I guess you’re right.”

Gu Wan hummed and asked: “Want to go see the study now?”

“Um…” Jiang Chilou pondered for a bit, then said: “Let’s go, then.”

Since Gu Wan had said so, she couldn’t outright refuse. She might as well take a look, since she hadn’t been there yet.

Gu Wan smiled: “Let’s go.”

“Mm.” Jiang Chilou followed Gu Wan and took the elevator up to the third floor.

In the study.

Jiang Chilou gasped at the wall-to-wall bookshelves, surprised by the sheer number of books there.

She looked at Gu Wan, pointing at the bookshelf: “Gu Wan, can I randomly flip through the books here?”

“Of course.”

“You can read anything you want.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chilou’s eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly: “Great!”

“Then I’ll go look for a book to read now and won’t disturb your work.” Jiang Chilou smiled and turned toward the bookshelves.

Gu Wan looked at her figure, her eyes darkening slightly. A moment later, she walked to the desk, sat down, and began to work.

About ten minutes later, she turned to the person quietly reading and called softly: “Lulu.”

“Ah?” Jiang Chilou looked up from her book upon hearing her name.

“I can’t find my phone. Can I borrow yours to call it and see where it is?”

“Oh, sure.” Jiang Chilou hugged the book, walked over to Gu Wan, unlocked her phone, and handed it to her.

“Go ahead and call.”

Gu Wan took the phone, opened the dialer, and very naturally entered her own number. The call went through, but the room remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Chilou couldn’t help but ask: “Did you turn on the ringer?”

Gu Wan nodded: “I did.”

She contemplated for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke: “It might have been left in the cloakroom on the first floor.”

“Ah,” Jiang Chilou paused. Before she could speak, Gu Wan asked her: “Could you go help me look for it?”

“I still have some work to handle right now and can’t leave temporarily.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chilou didn’t overthink it and quickly agreed: “Alright, I’ll go down and help you look for it.”

She then put down her book, turned, and left the study.

The moment Jiang Chilou’s figure disappeared, Gu Wan suddenly curved her lips into a smile.

She held the phone in her hand, exiting the call in the background…

When Jiang Chilou found Gu Wan’s phone on the sofa in the first-floor cloakroom and returned to the study, she was met with the other person’s smile.

“Did you find it?” she asked.
