room was filled with sarcasm and disdain. He listened to the elders' high-flown discussions in the living room, feeling a bit agitated. He simply put on his headphones and bowed his head to play games...What are you listening to It's already getting dark over here from all the kissing.

Haojie only heard a male voice panting on the other end say to YaoYao, "The phone's still on."

...Hao Jie...is going to die, she hurriedly hung up the phone and muttered, It's too intense at noon, isn't it >>>

It's quite normal, isn't it After all, I had to be more restrained at the Lu family estate a few days ago. It wasn't as convenient, you know Being in my own home is different though, I can be carefree and do whatever I please.

Lu YaoYao's evaluation of Gu Ruandong was that he was a real wolf, an insatiable wolf.

He's a real wolf in sheep's clothing!

From noon until sunset, they stayed upstairs and only went down to the restaurant for dinner.

Cuiping, along with other nannies, spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen preparing a feast for them to welcome and refresh themselves.

Lu Yaoyao only had one airplane meal at noon and consumed a lot of energy in the afternoon, so now she's starving and hasn't been paying attention to her diet. She's eating with her cheeks puffed out.

Gu Ruandong, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't been working hard all afternoon. He ate slowly and methodically as always.

Lu YaoYao suddenly realized that she seemed to have never seen him particularly love to eat anything, so she asked...

"Brother, what do you usually like to eat"

"Eat you." He said it without even lifting an eyelid, calm and collected, as if he were talking about having a meal.

Lu Yaoyao stole a glance at Cuiping, then glared angrily: "You sick freak!!!"

Gu Ruandong only then looked up at her, his eyes filled with smiles. He was quite happy that she had started to care about his preferences, but: "I don't have any particular favorites, as long as it fills my stomach. I'll eat whatever you like in the future."

Cui Ping understands this, so all the food on this table is made according to her preferences.

"Then what don't you like to eat There has to be something you don't like."

"To be honest, there are a few I don't like."

"You said."

"Dessert."

"Oh, I see."

Lu YaoYao said as she took a piece of cake from the dessert plate with a fork and brought it to his mouth, "Maybe you'll like it if you try it a few more times Here, have a taste."

< deliberately making trouble. >

Gu Ruan Dong turned his head slightly, refusing to eat.

Lu Yaoyao wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "Well then, would you like to eat"

Having bitten off half the cake, he stood up and leaned over, gesturing for him to eat.

In terms of depravity, she wouldn't lose.

Gu Ruandong smiled and reached out to clasp her neck, pulling her down and taking a bite of the other half of the cake from outside her mouth.

"It's so sweet, I can eat more this way from now on."

Lu Yaoyao thought, or forget it, I'd rather concede defeat.

After finishing their meal, the two strolled along the gravel path outside the courtyard to aid digestion. Spring had arrived in Senzhou, with tender shoots sprouting on the lawn, carrying a faint scent of earth. The pathway lights on either side of the gravel road wound and twisted ahead, disappearing into the distant horizon. This tranquility and peace were particularly novel experiences for the two.

Of course, this kind of night is perfect for chatting and catching up.

Gu Ruandong asked her what her plans were after this. Since she was back, it could be considered a fresh start.

Lu Yaoyao said: “I used to just get by, appearing to work hard in acting but also using it to pass the time. I didn't know what I wanted. After these things happened at home, I even thought about becoming a strong career woman, working hard to support Tingjing Finance and regain the Lu family's glory, but that didn’t seem to work either. I'm just not cut out for it.”

Then I truly understood, people have weaknesses. She lacks business acumen; if she really wanted to work hard and succeed in business, she would probably bankrupt the Lu family. Unlike Lu Kuo, who is just a carefree slacker with some laziness, he's actually intelligent and capable.

Gu Ruandong smiled and patted her head, teasingly said: "If you want to be a strong woman, I can be the man behind a successful woman, fully supporting you."

"I'm not interested. This time, I went to the northwest with Ning and Hui. It was a huge shock to me. I realized that in places I didn't know about, there were people living in hell, and there were also people who risked their lives to save them without asking for anything in return. This trip made me realize what I want. The feeling of truly and practically helping others is different and very valuable."

When she said this, her eyes were still filled with light, like the snow-covered night in the Northwest.

Gu Ruandong only now feels that she has truly grown up, with her own independent thoughts.

She continued, "You know, that night in the heavy snow, the night you came to find me, that little girl huddled in my arms, seeing me as her only lifeline. At that moment, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a connection with my grandfather. When he was young, he guarded the border in the northwest for decades. Now, here I am, saving a little girl. For the first time, I felt an unprecedented pride in being a member of the Lu family. This pride has nothing to do with money, power, or status."

"Gu Ruandong, do you understand"

She said these words, truly reconciling with herself, with Gu Ruandong, and hoping he could reconcile with himself as well, no longer burdened by the shackles of self-blame.

Because the Lu family's spirit is not about superficial things like fame, power, or status, the Lu family has never fallen.

Gu Ruan Dong in the dark of night, eyes hot, pulled her tightly into his arms, how fortunate life is, to have her by his side.

She was being held so tightly she could hardly breathe. “All this is to tell you, I’m going to focus on philanthropy from now on, helping more people. So I need a lot of money, and that's where you come in, Mr. Gu. No problem, right”

"Alright, Mrs. Gu."

The two walked for a long time along that road. When they returned, Lu Yaoyao refused to walk and was carried on Gu Ruandong's back.

She rested her head on his shoulder, chatting idly, "You only talked about me just now. What about you Are all your 'foxes and dogs' settled"

Gu Ruandong then talked about the recent situations of Dabo, Baosang, and Chen Xinmin and a few others. "They have all returned to normal life."

"Lu YaoYao: "Actually, you should be reluctant to part with Bao Sang like this, right I know you have feelings for her, and the weight she holds in your heart is different from those women you just flirt with."

Gu Ruandong let out a self-deprecating laugh: “I need to make something clear, I’m not the kind of woman who acts for appearances. I never have been, and I never will be.”

Lu YaoYao: "You see, you're avoiding my question, not giving a direct answer about your feelings for Bao Sang. If it were another woman who did these things, she'd be sentenced to death by you long ago."

"I found her very rational in communicating these issues, so Gu Ruandong also admitted: 'It's indeed different, but it's not about love. It's more like the brotherhood between people like Big Fan who have experienced life and death together, or even more so. Putting aside Bao Shu's use of me, their father and daughter helped me a lot back then.'"
