hand.”She obediently extended her hand to him. Her fingers were long and slender, illuminated by the candlelight, appearing delicate and fragile. Zhuo Yunan grasped her hand tightly, his other hand qu...She didn't have any malicious intentions at all, she was only concerned about whether he was hurt. Who knew he wasn't wearing anything underneath and some places were already "incomprehensible".
Lu Yaoyao
Gu Ruandong reacted quickly, trying to pull his bathrobe closer: "Don't be a scoundrel."
Lu YaoYao pulled at him, because she saw a new scar on his abdomen. It was particularly noticeable on his thin abdominal muscles, but it obviously wasn't from a car accident.
She stood there, unsure whether to ask him about the car accident first or the origin of the scar.
Gu Ruandong saw her about to cry, his heart tightened. He explained, "I was driving a bit urgently yesterday and got into a rear-end collision. I'm fine, but the driver is pretty serious, he fainted for a day. He came with me from Senzhou, so I stayed in the hospital to deal with it, which delayed things."
Actually, the collision was quite severe. He in the backseat was also dizzy for a day and was forced to stay at the hospital for a check-up.
Lu Yao Yao looked doubtful, but seeing that he was fine, her heart eased a little. She then pointed to the scar on his abdomen: "What's this"
Of course, Gu Ruandong didn't dare say it was the injury he received from saving her in the cold storage before. So he made up a story: "I got into a fight with Dafang and his men the other day, and I accidentally got cut by a beer bottle."
Lu Yaoyao bent down and took another serious look. She poked it with her hand. It was a bit hard, indeed better: "You deserve it. How old are you still fighting"
She didn't realize how suggestive the pose was, especially with them both dressed so little, until she looked up and met his burning gaze. His bare chest rose and fell slightly, and she immediately straightened up, taking a step back to put some distance between them.
He cleared his throat and said, "I'm tired from working all day, let's get some rest."
He then lay down on the sofa next to him, but his long legs couldn't fit, so his knees were hanging off.
Lu Yaoyao didn't say anything. She lay down on that big bed herself. Their last memory was indeed not good, and she hadn't forgotten the pain from that time.
"Gu Ruantong."
"Huh"
"I gained a lot from my trip to the northwest this time."
Gu Ruandong didn't respond, waiting for her to continue.
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like I suddenly have a broader perspective. Seeing all this suffering makes me realize how lucky I am. It turns out that there are so many people in the world who are starving, homeless, and desperate for help."
“So I think what our family has been through isn't really a big deal. My grandfather's lifelong reputation won't be tarnished so easily. Even when he was sick, old colleagues still came to visit him. And my uncle, actually retiring is for the best; maybe his personality just wasn't suited for the officialdom. Hearing about Jinhui Finance's current predicament, it's just an opportunity for Lu Kuo to be tempered; and me, even if the Lu family falls apart, the properties and investments under my name are enough to keep me comfortable for life.”
Approach a problem from a positive angle, and it will become clear.
Having witnessed the human suffering, she now feels grateful and cherishes everything she has. She is more willing to open her heart and embrace the world.
After she finished speaking, she felt the bed beside her sink a little. He had gotten into bed at some point without her noticing and pulled her into his arms. "Yaoyao," he said softly, "I'm so proud of you."
She was always radiant, and now her world is even wider. One day, she will shine on many more people.
Gu Ruandong just held her, not daring to do anything else intimate. However, he believed that the problem of their relationship would eventually be resolved.
Lu Yao yao didn't resist, and fell asleep in his arms soon.
The next morning, after breakfast, she hurried to the city to meet Chen Ning and the others. The driver knew the road conditions well and quickly got on the highway in a few minutes.
Lu Yaoyao questioned, "Didn't they close the highway last night"
Gu Ruandong calmly said, "It should have started clearing snow last night. Otherwise, it would have affected travel during the day."
Lu Yaoyao had no suspicion of him.
Upon arriving at the hotel in the city, Chen Ling found Hui and the others waiting for her in the lobby, but she couldn't see Song Jingye anywhere.
"Where's Kyon"
She deliberately sought him out, wanting to take advantage of the fact that Gu Ruandong was also in the northwest and invite Song Jingye for a meal, to sincerely apologize.
Chen Ling replied, "Kiyono-san sent us back last night and then went straight back to the base." He didn't even get out of the car.
Lu Yaoyao was a little disappointed and asked again, "What about that girl"
"She was taken away by the police and is waiting for her parents to pick her up."
"Okay, let's get in touch again after we return to Beijing."
This operation can be considered truly successful.
Gu Ruandong accompanied her back to the room to pack her luggage and booked an afternoon flight back to Beijing.
"Song Jingye will go back to Beijing for the New Year." Gu Ruandong suddenly said.
He didn't sleep well last night and sent Song Jingye a message: When will you be back in Beijing Let's have a drink together.
He was a man of few words, and his message was simple. But between men, there's an unspoken understanding, a shared knowing. It was his apology, his gratitude, and his reconciliation.
Of course Song Jingye understood. He was on his way to the army at that time and quickly replied: Spring Festival.
None of us want to put YaoYao in an awkward position.
The plane in the afternoon, when I got home it was already evening.
The Lu family was unusually lively. Outside and in the courtyard, the nanny and workers had hung red lanterns and various colored lights early on. Trees and windows were also adorned with auspicious paper cuttings, hoping to leave all bad luck in the past and usher in a prosperous new year.
Lu Yaoyao had just entered the room when a sudden "bang" echoed above her head, and colorful paper fragments swirled down from the ceiling.
Lu Kuo jumped out from the darkness with a flower pot: "Welcome home, my heroine!"
Lu Yaoyao frantically tugged at the scraps of paper stuck in her hair, making her scalp hurt a little. Now she definitely couldn't go without washing it. She was so angry that she shouted, "Are you sick Can you be any more childish"
Gu Ruandong also had a lot of scraps of paper on his body and head, but he didn't mind. Instead, he smiled and bent down, helping her clean up under the light. Lu Kuo being childish wasn't a new thing.
Since the last time Lu Kuo beat him up, the two haven't been in contact. But now that they see each other, they just pretend the other person doesn't exist, as if it’s all water under the bridge.
That's just how men handle things between each other, straight to the point. In the moment he did wrong, he got what was coming to him, no bringing up past grievances.
Lu Kuò saw that he was carefully blowing on Lu Yáo'yáo's head while helping her pick up the pieces of paper, and only then did he notice something amiss. "Injured"
Lu Yao yao wouldn't let him look and was very angry: "Just in time, I'm planning to set up a reward fund for the foundation to provide clues, you pay for it."
"Are you trying to blackmail me You should ask your husband for help, not me. Your brother is broke right now."
What you give is yours, what he gives is his, both are needed.
This was discussed between her and the president, about setting up a dedicated reward fund nationwide. Anyone who provides real and effective kidnapping clues would be eligible for a reward.se past few days, Cheng Shaofan helped me contact the hospital in America, and she'll be recovering there from now on. 。”“這樣也好。"I want to quit my job. " 。It's all my fault this time, I almost got you...
