When he asked this, he was both angry and helpless. 。He always thought she was angry because he had dragged the Lu family into this, so out of guilt, he focused all his energy on dealing with it. 。He didn’t understand until morning what the child was thinking. He almost let himself be led astray, falling into a strange passivity. 。”Putting on a show? Do I need to act?” He tightened his grip on her waist, a punishing pressure. 。<<
Lu Yaoyao was grasped by him, and unconsciously gasped for air. She leaned closer to him, fitting perfectly against him. She wasn’t afraid of him arguing, but she was most afraid of him being a rascal. >>> 。She resisted his physical contact, glared at him angrily, just about to lash out when she saw him put away his previous mischievous and frivolous demeanor. He looked down at her, very seriously, “Yao Yao, no matter how much of a scoundrel I am, no matter how despicable, I would never deceive or take advantage of you.” 。However, you’re right about one thing. I am indeed quite unlucky. Everyone who gets involved with me seems to have bad luck. 。He suddenly spoke like that, Lu Yaoyao’s heart ached, feeling a little lost. The body that had been stiffly resisting just now softened. 。Gu Ruandong seized the opportunity, his hands moving from her waist to hold her close. “Even so, Yaoyao, I can’t bear to let go of you. I will do everything in my power to protect you.” 。Lucy Yao is a softie sometimes. When someone speaks so sincerely, whether true or false, she believes half of it first. The resentment in her heart fades by half as well. She’s quite naive. 。
He was moved, and she wanted to reach out and hug him like before. But he gently pushed her away and stood face-to-face with her. As if it were a decision made after much deliberation, he said seriously, “Yaoyao, if possible, I’ll send you out for a while first. When things here are settled, I’ll come back for you.” 。He not only needs to clear the Lu family’s name right now, but also to completely resolve past matters. The situation beneath the surface is turbulent and unpredictable. For her, there can be no risk whatsoever. 。Even in the darkness, you could feel the sincerity and affection in his gaze. However, in Lu YaoYao’s heart, every word pierced her like a needle. The fur he had smoothed down stood on end again.
“Gu Ruandong, step aside! Is that what you mean by protecting me? Let me tell you, there are no deserters in the blood of our Lu family, and we don’t need your protection.”> 。After she finished speaking, she tried to push him away, but he held her tightly. 。He’s completely ignoring her anger now, raising his hand to stroke the hair at the back of her head, gently,
“Your hair is really standing on end” 。He murmured. 。Since this morning, he’s been patiently coaxing her after she suspected his love. Even when she gets angry, he calms her down by gently stroking her hair and then walks away, not giving her a chance to overthink things. 。Lu Yaoyao tried to break free but couldn’t. She was exasperated and angrily shouted, “Are you touching a dog?” He messed up her hair. 。Gu Ruandong’s hand trembled slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: “So harsh on yourself?”Seeing that she seemed better, he changed tack and took her hand, leading her into the house. 。”It’s not to let you become a deserter, send you out, it’s temporary either.” 。Things might be a bit turbulent here soon. As a public figure, you’re an obvious target. 。He continued to patiently persuade her, determined to see her safely away. 。The world he was in wasn’t as calm and peaceful as it seemed on the surface. This was the quiet before the storm. 。
As Bao Sang once said, his weakness was well-known to all and was the most fatal.
。Lu Yaoyao listened to his words in silence. 。For no reason, I suddenly remembered a saying: “Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, when disaster strikes, they fly separately.” 。All those things like love and emotions have become insignificant. 。。When they ate, she sat face-to-face with Gu Ruandong. She didn’t eat much to begin with, and now she had even less of an appetite. She ate very little. 。Gu Ruandong took the phone call, listening with an impassive expression, not saying a word. After hanging up, he still looked emotionless. He didn’t give away any clues and only got up after Lu Yaoyao finished her meal, saying: “Yaoyao, there’s something at the company, I need to go out for a bit.” 。He bent down and kissed her forehead before walking away. 。On the side, Cuiping watched and felt relieved in her heart. This was a reconciliation, wasn’t it? Although not as clingy and affectionate as before, it was better than the past two days. 。Gu Ruan Dong’s car drove out of the courtyard, the black vehicle like a cheetah, quickly disappearing into the endless night. 。I made an appointment with someone at Bao Shu’s grave. When he arrived, there was already a line of people waiting, led by Bao Sang and Da Fang. They all watched him warily. 。Compared to their tightness, he seemed somewhat carefree. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, inserting it in Baoshu’s grave. He held the lighter in his hand, clicking it occasionally with a *snap*. 。”Well, what do you want?” He flicked his lighter, the feeble flame dancing across Bao Sang and Dafang’s faces as his eyes darted between them. He wore an impassive expression, his usual cold and sardonic demeanor. 。Dafang: “Gu Shao, about Bao Shu using your shell company before, could we just brush it under the rug?” 。He also treats us as his own people. Who could have known that something like this would happen after all these years?”
Da Fang himself was baffled, how did he end up on the opposite side of Gu Shao? This wasn’t his intention, he just wanted to continue working with Gu Ruandong and make a success of their business, he just wanted revenge for Da Jin. 。
The lighter clicked, illuminating Gu Ruandong’s face in the darkness with its flickering flame. He seemed to laugh after hearing Dafang’s words, nonchalantly:
“Did I say anything?”
Baosang, who had been silent until now, asked, “What do you mean?”
Gu Ruandong: “It’s just used, it’s not a big deal” >>> 。Their tone was completely indifferent. 。Several people were stunned, all looking somewhat incredulous. 。Gu Ruandong continued: “This is an internal contradiction of ours, we’ll talk about it later.” 。”Our common enemy right now is the Senpō Group, isn’t it? Don’t you want revenge for Daikichi?”
The mountains fell silent. No one spoke again. 。These days, they have been walking on eggshells, fearing that he would turn against them. 。Hearing him speak now, my heart felt at ease. Shao Gu was still Shao Gu, always putting the bigger picture first. 。Yes, even if they fight fiercely internally, when facing the outside world, they are united. 。Baosang spoke first, “Of course we have to avenge Big Jin. What do you want us to do?”Almost immediately, everyone fully believed him. He was always the pillar of their group. 。Wang Binghai has been caught, but his accomplices are still numerous and will not let it go. Furthermore, the murderer of Da Jin is still at large. 。Gu Ruandong: “I’m currently cooperating with the investigation, and my every move is monitored. There are many things that are inconvenient for me to do, so you guys will have to do it.” 。”
Big Fan: “You said, we all listen to you” 。”Da Fang was very happy, at least Gu Shao now agreed to join forces with them and use their own power to solve these matters.” 。A group of people, like night owls, quickly dispersed into the various corners of the city after descending from the mountaintop. 。When Gu Ruandong returned home late at night, he found the bedroom empty.
。My heart skipped a beat. I called her but she didn’t pick up, and when I video-called, she hung up. But she quickly replied to my message: “I’m back in Beijing. You don’t have to come.” 。
