Gu Ruandong licked his back molars, it did hurt a bit, Lu Kuo’s hand was heavy, completely without control. But this level of pain wasn’t anything to Gu Ruandong.
Lu Yaoyao finally found the medicine. She held Gu Ruandong’s jaw in one hand and applied the medicine with the other. Gu Ruandong obediently let her apply it. When she finished applying the medicine, Lu Yaoyao left it for him and told him to use it according to the instructions. He said okay.
Neither of them commented on the fact that Lu Kuo had discovered their secret.
When she had finished packing the first aid kit, Gu Ruandong took the initiative to say…
“It was my fault. I should have told Lu Kuo earlier.”
“What does it matter what he does? He’s just in a bad mood right now, he’ll be fine in a couple of days.”
The two fell silent, suddenly unable to find a topic.
After a long silence, Gu Ruan Dong finally spoke:
“I have done a lot of bad things in the past.”
“Murder and arson? Or breaking the law?” Lu Yaoyao asked.
Gu Ruandong shook his head. “No.”
“Well, that’s all right. As for those things in the business world, everyone has their own way of survival. As long as you have principles and bottom lines, things won’t get too bad.”
Before Gu Ruandong could answer, Lu Yaoyao continued, “Some companies appear noble and righteous on the surface, but for profit, they produce products that harm countless people? Some even target babies. So to say, even a good reputation can be false.”
“I have my own eyes and can judge for myself. I don’t need others to tell me what to do.” Lu Yaoyao said, and this was the problem she had just figured out.
As Lu Kuo said, what a person has done will leave its mark on them. But precisely because Gu Ruandong has had such an experience, that’s why he has that captivating aura, isn’t it?
If his experience was also like hers <<<
Just like
a blank piece of paper
, what can attract her?
Gu Ruandong didn’t say anything, he just held her tightly in his arms. All his past misfortunes, in her presence, became virtues. Her existence made him realize that he wasn’t as bad as he thought he was.
Even though things were rough, she was his lighthouse in the darkness, showing him which way to go. Her meaning to him surpassed even love.
After leaving her house, Lu Kuo felt extremely depressed. Within that depression, there was more worry. He knew his words wouldn’t have any effect on Lu Yaoyao; just now, the way she looked clearly showed she was deeply trapped in this situation.
Late at night, I drove to Ruannuan’s school without realizing it. The school gates were already locked, but the staff dormitory had a separate entrance and exit.
Gu Ruannuan had just finished preparing the lecture materials for tomorrow’s class and was about to go to sleep when she saw Lu Kuò come. She was a little surprised because he rarely came to see her so late.
Lu Kuo just wanted to find someone to confide in, so he unknowingly drove to her school.
Ruan Ruan didn’t ask him what was wrong, she just found a cup for his teeth, toothbrush and towel and handed them to him.
Go take a shower.
It’s so late, he probably couldn’t possibly leave.
Lu Kuo took these things with a hint of disbelief. Was this how one entertains guests? Or was he being too direct? He wasn’t here tonight for sleep.
“Don’t overthink it. I just thought you wouldn’t be leaving today, so why not go wash up first? We can talk more later.” After saying that, Ruanruan had already lain down on the bed, preoccupied with sleep from having finished preparing her lessons. She didn’t take Lu Kuo’s arrival seriously, only leaving a space on her single bed for him.
This person is just incredible, isn’t he?
Treat him like a man? The way she acts, he’s more like her bestie. I bet that’s how she treats Lu Yaoyao too when she comes over.
Lu Kuo went to wash unwillingly, then lay directly on the half of the bed that she had left empty.
The single bed was too small. When someone tall lay on it, they would be a bit cramped and could only hug Ruan Ruan from behind so that the two of them wouldn’t fall off when they were close together.
Ruan Ruan’s body smelled very fresh, and her hair had a faint scent of shampoo. She looked very elegant overall.
“What happened? Now tell me.” Ruan Ruan didn’t turn around, letting him hold her from behind and softly asking.
It’s not necessary to do something when you’re lying together, simply chatting can be great too.
She could feel that Lu Kuo was troubled by something.
Lu Kuo made no attempt to hide it from Ruan Ruan, simply stating…
“Yaoyao and Gu Ruandong are together.”
It’s more worry than anything else. I held Ruan Ruan’s hand tighter, afraid she’d be so shocked that she’d fall off the bed.
Result Ruannuan was unusually calm and didn’t say a word. She wasn’t sure if Lu Kuo was testing her or if he really knew, so she was being cautious. After all, it was the relationship between YaoYao and Gu Ruandong, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to tell Lu Kuo anything about it.
“You knew already?” Lu Kuo saw her reaction and confirmed that he was the last one to know. In an instant, he released his hand from around Ruan Ruan’s, not expecting her to keep it a secret from him either.
So, starting from Chinese New Year, and then when Lu Yaoyao got hurt and they went back to Senzhou, Gu Ruanruan shielded them several times and helped them get away, right?
If it weren’t for Grandpa’s phone call tonight, saying that Lu Yaoyao didn’t go back to the old house after finishing filming and went straight back to Senzhou, asking him to go see her. Lu Kuo originally didn’t plan to go, she’s such a >>
Stars, often landing in the middle of the night is normal, but calling her phone always went straight to voicemail. He was worried late at night, so he went to see for himself and that’s when he saw what happened.
“Gu Ruanruan, you’re really something.”
She kept this from him too, which was a bit much. He got up from her bed and left the apartment.
It’s not just that she was angry with Ruan Ruan, it was a feeling of being deceived by everyone. She didn’t even need to look for Zhuo Yúan and Ting Lán, she imagined that they, as a couple, must have seen through it a long time ago.
Lu Kuo was indeed worried. Gu Ruandong was a fine friend and even a potential business partner, but as the son-in-law of the Lu family, he gave Lu Kuo a sense of unease.
He certainly doesn’t have any prejudices about social standing, but that doesn’t mean his grandfather and father didn’t. The past of his family is something previous generations feared to bring up. If they were to truly come together, it would probably cause an uproar. But that’s secondary; after all, there’s the precedent of the Zhuo family accepting Tinglan.
Lu Kuo was still more worried about Gu Ruandong. His life experience was complex, and even he and Zhuo Yu’an didn’t dare to say they understood him 100%. Let alone Lu Yaoyao, who had grown up in a greenhouse?
Just as he had said before, if it were someone like Yuan Binghuan who hurt her, he could help her get revenge. But for someone like Gu Ruandong, he wasn’t sure if he had the ability to protect her.
He sighed, as the older brother, he was really worried.
The next day, he went to work at Whale Finance with a gloomy face. Before he even reached the office, the receptionist ran up to him and said, “Mr. Gu from the Gu Group has been here since this morning, waiting for you in the reception room.”
“Damn, he dares to come again? Wasn’t yesterday’s beating enough?”
bursting into the reception room, there sat Gu Ruandong.
I gave him a slightly more serious look than usual and smiled faintly.
