For Gu Ruandong, going to the capital was just a change of scenery for work. The last time he went to Macau for a few days, she put herself through this, so this time, as long as it wasn’t something urgent or sudden, he would keep his promise and wait for her by his side, lest he hurt himself again. Who knows who would care?
As soon as he left, Wang always couldn’t sit still and grabbed Xiao Cai, asking him …
“What’s wrong with Gu Shao? Something seems off!”
That made sense. Wang realized, remembering when Gu Ruandong had briefed people about his itinerary in the car during their trip to Macau before. He felt a sudden understanding.
“So Shao Gu is still a romantic at heart, isn’t he?”
Then, she went to make an appointment with Tan Rundé resignedly.
Beijing, Friday evening.
Lu Yaoyao looked at Lu Kuo, who was eager to return to Senzhou, with disdain and asked:
“Where’s the sibling love you promised?”
Lu Kuo answered with a matter-of-fact expression: “Ruannuan has class in the morning, so I have to go back tonight. Besides, I’ve been with you at the hospital for a week, fulfilling my duty.”
“Haha, you’re really my brother!” Lu YaoYao expressed contempt and dissatisfaction. She just wanted Lu Kuo to feel guilty (of course, if he had any), inwardly eager for him to leave as soon as possible.
Ruan Ruan laughed beside him. She understood her best, and cooperated with her the most, so she took Lu Kuo’s hand and said, “Let’s go back first. I just asked the doctor, if there are no special circumstances, she should be able to be discharged this weekend. We can go back and see her then.”
After that, she dragged Lu Kuo away from the hospital.
Now the hospital room is only left with the assistant. She’s lying on her side, facing away from the door, video chatting with the old man and being affectionate, refusing him or any other member of the Lu family to replace Lu…
Wide.
“My assistant will take good care of things, you don’t need to come. If you come, I’ll actually feel out of place.”
“My foot is healing well, the doctor said I can be discharged in a couple of days.”
At this moment, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her and thought it was her assistant coming in, so she said to the video:
“Grandpa, if you don’t believe me, let my assistant talk to you. Wait a moment.”
She rolled over, just about to hand her phone to her assistant, when she saw Gu Ruandong leaning against the door, smiling faintly at her. Her heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face bloomed, unable to be hidden. Glancing at her phone again, she was relieved that the camera had been facing her the whole time and hadn’t had time to switch lenses. Without hesitation, she said into the phone,
“Grandpa, I’m hanging up.”
There was no time to explain, he just hung up the video call because all she could see in her heart and eyes was the man standing at the door watching her. Over the past two days, she had seen a lot of negative news reports about him on the news, thinking that he would be busy dealing with these matters and wouldn’t come back to accompany her. So she tried to be understanding these past few days, only contacting him once a day at a fixed time and not bothering him anymore. Besides, she wasn’t sure if he would even come, as he never said anything. Unexpectedly, not only did he come, but he also came back a night earlier, giving her a surprise and a sense of security.
“Hug me!” she said, her arms outstretched in a gesture of playful begging. Though still unable to move freely, she couldn’t resist the urge to be held close.
Gu Ruandong smiled, walked in from the door, and hugged her tightly, kissing her hair. The past few days, a lot of things at the company had him running around frantically. It felt like a chain reaction of dominoes falling – the entire Gu Group was being shaken to its core, and one wrong move could be irreversible.
He insisted on staying with her because with her by his side, he knew which direction to go in and would be determined to achieve his goals. No current difficulties could stop him.
This power she emanates, needs no explanation to anyone.
After a moment of embrace, they both looked at each other and asked each other simultaneously.
“Is your wound feeling better?”
“Are you all set?”
Lu Yaoyao answered first, “The wound has healed well. The doctor said that barring any unexpected circumstances, I should be able to leave the hospital this weekend. Now it’s your turn to answer.”
She couldn’t wait to know about him.
“It’s a bit tricky, not something that can be solved right away.” He didn’t shy away from it. After all, the outside world had already made a huge fuss about it, she couldn’t possibly be unaware.
“You should go back and take care of things tomorrow morning. You don’t need to stay in the hospital with me.” This time, there wasn’t a hint of grievance. She just wanted him to be at ease and handle everything properly.
Gu Ruandong regained his usual, teasing smile: “So understanding?”
He does this, she does that: “Only considerate to you.”
He hugged her tighter this time, more seriously: “It doesn’t matter where you work, you’re safer here.”
He doesn’t talk much and has never confessed his feelings to her properly, so she likes to look for clues in his words and actions to see if he likes her.
It’s strange that if someone had told her before that you should look for clues about love in your boyfriend’s actions, she would have said to break up with him immediately. She would have said this man definitely doesn’t love you. A guy who loves you will make it obvious, there’s no need to search for clues.
and now it’s really good! Gu Ruantong didn’t say anything, but she just is ?.
Baidute Ding Gu Ruan Dong loved her, so she looked for clues in his words, which became a kind of amusement for her. Every time he said something ordinary, after she guessed the meaning behind it, she would chuckle to herself for a long time.
During the few days she was hospitalized, Gu Ruandong still went to the Gu family’s office in Beijing to handle work during the day and came to the hospital at night to accompany her. This woman, even injured, wasn’t honest. At night, she had to sleep clinging to him, constantly teasing him with all sorts of provocations. When he was driven to his limit by her, she would beg for forgiveness, claiming that as an injured person, she couldn’t move. Seeing him tense and rigid, she slept contentedly.
Fortunately, she doesn’t have to endure this for many days. She can be discharged from the hospital.
He couldn’t come to pick her up from the hospital. On one hand, everyone from the Lu family had arrived. On the other hand, he himself was being hounded by the media right now, with negative news everywhere. She was also a public figure and didn’t want her to be implicated because of him.
So he went back to Persen Isle ahead of her to wait for her return.

After returning to the Lu family ancestral home from the hospital, she remained silent. As someone who loved beauty so much, she couldn’t accept this flaw at all.
Lu Kuo is usually sharp-tongued, but at serious moments, he’s also caring. He comforted her, saying, “It’s fine, it’s not fully healed yet. Once it heals, the color will look better. I’ll buy you the best scar removal cream then.”
Scar removal medicine, her mom.
Mom had sent her a box from abroad, but she knew that no matter how good the scar cream was, it couldn’t restore what had been lost.
