Part Two, 'The Big Sugar of the East', Chapter 245

ly.But looking at Lin Zhifei, he truly seemed heartless and carefree, his emotions seemingly unaffected by anything.Lin Zhixuan, of course, was unaffected. After arranging Fu Shenyi's meeting, he went...Gu Ruandong: "So, you and Song Jingye were close when you were kids Did you like him then"

He was waiting for her here.

Lu Yaoyao got angry: "I don't like him. I just woke up in the earthquake, and he was the first person I saw. He gave me a great sense of security, so I relied on him only."

Before regaining her memories, it was normal for an 18-year-old girl to have heroic tendencies and admire figures like Song Jingye.

And after her memory recovered, when she saw Gu Ruantong again, she clearly understood the difference between liking and loving.

Without giving Gu Ruandong a chance to speak, she asked again, "You haven't said, what is your relationship with Xu Zhao Have you ever liked her"

Gu Ruandong: "I've answered this question before, I haven't liked anyone. All interactions are based on the cooperation between our two companies."

Lu YaoYao: "This isn't reasonable, why don't you like her She's so excellent."

"Because he was waiting for you to appear." He never had any emotional entanglements with any woman.

Lu Yaoyao was stunned. His words, carrying the weight of a thousand pounds, dispelled all her grievances. To make matters worse, he added: "Yaoyao, you are my first love."

Although she thought he was being incredibly shameless, she found herself quite taken with his words. Her heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but want to run into him.

The atmosphere gradually improved, and the two of them stopped bringing up past grievances.

He changed the subject: "YaoYao, have you ever dreamed about your future marriage or partner as you turn 18"

Since it's our anniversary, let's talk about marriage.

Lu YaoYao thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "I haven't ever yearned for marriage, nor have I imagined what my other half should be like. After all, my preferences are quite broad, as long as it's someone I like."

"Well, you have quite a diverse taste," he said, his expression a little downcast. "From Yuan Binghuan to Song Jingye and now you... it's quite a range."

Lu YaoYao, in order to cheer him up, said, "Although I haven't specifically imagined what my future partner would be like, the moment I met you, I was 100% sure that you are the kind of person I want as my other half."

This statement, when spoken aloud, feels somehow off, yet it doesn't seem inherently wrong.

Gu Ruandong then smiled, looking at her and answering very seriously, "Me too."

His smile never left his face, growing more intense. The love in his eyes deepened, and Lu Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat. Memories of her own words flashed through her mind: "From the moment I met you, I was 100% certain that my other half was someone like you."

So, she completely exposed the fact that she had recovered her memory.

"I... I..." He looked at Gu Ruandong, his nervousness getting the better of him. He wanted to explain, but words failed him. He stammered, speechless for a long time, his face turning red with embarrassment. Not a single word came out.

"I... uh..."

And then, all of a sudden, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, leaning down to kiss her.

Let this kiss speak volumes of their love.

After a long while, Gu Ruandong let go of her and asked, "When will you recover"

Lu YaoYao had deceived him for so long, where was the courage to speak up She was afraid that if he knew the truth, he would eat her.

Gu Ruandong then guessed, "During the auction"

He intentionally guessed the time backward, knowing it wasn't right.

"That night, when you were using your hands" he asked again, because he was aware of it that night.

She shook her head and whispered, "A little farther."

Moving forward, it would be the capital city. He thought for a moment and suddenly realized it was at Song Jingye's house that time, so she had been acting with him for so long

His guess was met with her affirmative reply.

His eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

"I didn't mean to deceive you... Ah, what are you doing" Lu YaoYao was suddenly lifted into the air by him. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was carried out of the restaurant.

Fearing attention, she dared not cry out again. She could only bury her head in his chest.

He was carried all the way, thrown into the car parked outside the restaurant, and then driven back to his president's office.

His eyes were too dangerous. Lu Yaoyao was still dazed, "You talk properly."

He leaned down: "Couldn't speak nicely, who told you to be disobedient."

“I’m obedient,” she pleaded, fear lacing her voice. His gaze was intense enough to make her knees tremble.

"How come you're so obedient all of a sudden, torturing me every day and then calling me obedient"

Of course, the scheming one wouldn't admit that he had also been feigning ignorance and acting with her these past few days. Now, he would punish her first.

"Brother, please spare me."

"Honey, come home tonight, okay"

She was truly begging for mercy, but her tone and pitiful expression were too damaging to Gu Ruandong. He couldn't let her go, nor could he wait.

He stayed in that break room the entire afternoon, not coming out.

During this time, Xiao Cai called him and asked him to have a meeting, but he pushed it all to tomorrow.

I want to make up for everything I've lost recently.

Of course, he could be tough when he wanted to be, but he also cared about her feelings. After all, his little wife was truly delicate; hurting her would be more trouble than it was worth.

Although Lu YaoYao pleaded for mercy, being a natural hedonist, she ultimately found it agreeable.

It's just that it's been too long, I didn't eat much at lunch, and I consumed too much energy in the afternoon. In the end, I was so hungry and weak that I couldn't move at all.

Even drinking water was done by Gu Ruandong in the middle of the journey.

Finally, as night fell, the lights of Gu's Building went out one by one, and outside the window, there were thousands of lights from every household. The owner of the restaurant where Gu Ruan had booked a table for their wedding anniversary celebration called to inquire when they saw that they hadn't arrived for a long time. It was then that Gu Ruan Dong got up.

Lu Yaya was forced to get up, her legs ached and trembled, she almost couldn't stand still. She said how crazy things were this afternoon.

Without letting her go, Gu Ruandong carried her all the way to the parking garage and into the car. As he fastened her seatbelt, he looked up at her with a mixture of pity and guilt in his eyes, because she seemed truly exhausted. She sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought, fragile as a porcelain doll.

"Shall we just skip the celebration and go home" he asked her.

She didn't speak, she just took a silent sip of water from a bottle.

"Hmm" he asked again.

She didn't answer.

"Yo yo, are you coming home or going to the restaurant Answer me." He continued to ask patiently.

Who knew Lu Yaoyao's eyes turned red: "My throat hurts, I can't speak."

Gu Ruandong's heart tightened, knowing exactly what she meant. He had shouted too loudly just now, causing her pain.

Images of the break room and her voice flashed through his mind, his heart skipped a beat, blood surged, and he thought about it again.

I despise myself.

Seeing her so exhausted, he initially considered canceling dinner and going home directly. But the thought of going home now made him worry about facing another test of his willpower, so he decided to go to the restaurant instead, hoping to distract himself.

Lu Yaoyao silently drank a bottle of cold water in the car, her throat finally improved a little, and her legs didn't tremble as before. So she got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant. She could walk by herself and always kept a step away from him.

It was clearly her fault from the beginning, she hid it from him for so long, but now she's making it seem like he's the one who did wrong, as if he's a terrible person. And she's playing the victim, being pitied and needing Gu Ruandong to carefully comfort her.

Gu Ruantong suspected she did it on purpose., hugging her and putting his face close to the phone to greet the children.He showered, smelling clean and fresh. His damp hair kept brushing her face, tickling it occasionally. Seeing him happily ch...
