Part Two: The Great Sugar of Eastern Lands, Chapter Eight: S

, gaspy breaths. The air by the lake was already heavy with humidity, and the lawn was watered every day. With them pressed against it like that, the moisture from the ground just rose up. 。The person...Gu Ruandong wasn't a person who was easily swayed by romantic feelings. He viewed relationships between men and women very indifferently. Besides, the Gu Group's business was expanding rapidly, keeping him incredibly busy every day. There was simply no time to waste on such trivial matters. So he simply instructed, "You handle it yourself."

Believe Cai can handle this well.

After that, he didn't see Lu Yaoyao for a long time. He only occasionally saw her in the airport or on pop-up ads on websites, filming commercials. Whenever he saw them, he would stop or click to take a look.

The company has accurately positioned her as an endorser for high-end luxury brands exclusively.

One of the perfume ads featured her and a male model. Under the moonlight, by a window with curtains swaying in the breeze, the boy held the girl's waist and leaned down to gently sniff the base of her neck. The girl tilted her head back, her jawline and the curve of her neck and collarbone forming a seductive arc. Her slightly curled black hair cascaded over the windowsill, swaying with the gossamer curtains.

The scene is beautiful and romantic, with a hint of desire between young men and women. Through the screen, you almost smell the scent of perfume.

Kid, when are you going to grow up It's impossible to ignore her feminine features.

Gu Ruandong smiled at the corner of his lips, turned off the advertisement video, but remembered the name of this perfume. If he had the chance, he would also like to smell it and see if she really had such a fragrance on her body.

Once this idea took root in his mind, it became deeply ingrained, popping up to disturb him from time to time, even during work breaks. He was a man of action, and nothing he set his mind to was beyond his reach.

There are always opportunities, even if they don't seem to exist, especially in the entertainment industry which is overflowing with them.

At that awards ceremony, many actors from Dongyang Film and Television were nominated. Xiao Cai saw him arrive and rushed forward to greet him, wanting to arrange a good seat for him. He waved his hand and sat in another place by himself.

Xiao Cai's companion, Xu Zhao, asked: "Which female star is Young Master Gu interested in"

Given Xu Zhao's understanding of Gu Ruandong, he wouldn't be the type to attend such a pointless awards ceremony out of idle curiosity.

Xiaocai: "No way If Gu Shao really had his eyes on a celebrity, he would have just said it directly. There's no need for all this fuss."

Xu Zhao: "That's true."

After Xu Zhao finished speaking, her gaze followed Gu Ruandong's direction. The lighting at the scene wasn't bright, and Gu Ruandong always wore black shirts and pants, but he was like a beam of light; no matter where he was, she could see him accurately.

---

Lu Yaoyao was also nominated this time, but she knew she was just there for show. Her drama released this year received lukewarm responses, and everyone knows that the Best Actress award this year belongs to Xu Zhao.

As soon as she entered the venue, Lu Yao saw Xu Zhao sitting in the front row. Because she was well-liked, colleagues often came over to greet her. She greeted everyone with a warm smile, as if she could chat pleasantly with anyone. Lu Yao found it annoying just looking at her.

Her own seat was in the third row, close to the aisle. Because she was watching Xu Zhao ahead of her, she walked absentmindedly down the steps. When she reached the third row, her skirt caught on something and she stumbled forward, almost falling. Luckily, a male guest beside her reached out in time, grasped her waist, and prevented her from falling. However, she ended up falling into his arms.

Before she could even recover from her fright, a soft chuckle came from above her head. Along with it, two strong hands grasped her waist and steadied her. "Yaoyao," he said, "you're not very professional."

She had a very light scent of powder on her, not the perfume she endorsed. He still wanted to try and identify her by smell.

A familiar yet strange voice swept past her ears, across her neck, making her blush and stand up, she looked at the male guest.

Gu Ruandong

She was embarrassed, her heart racing. She wasn't sure if it was from fear or because of the way he looked at her.

I wanted to ask him what he meant, why he wasn't being professional anymore. But now I didn't dare to. I didn't even dare to look at him too much. Holding my skirt, I sat back down in the walkway area.

Throughout the entire awards ceremony, she pretended to look straight ahead at the stage program, even when Xu Zhao went up to receive the award and give a speech, she endured the urge to turn her head and watched Xu Zhao's speech.

Fortunately, the man next to him left sometime after Xu Zhao finished receiving his award.

Gu Ruandong realized he had brought this upon himself. What was the point of teasing her in the first place

People are not the kids he thinks they are. They've grown up in all the right places. The hand that just helped her with her waist, though through thin fabric, still felt incredibly good.

He smoked two cigarettes before calming down. He didn't intend to go in anymore, nor did he want to tease her again. He knew himself best; he wasn't worthy of her.

After he got on the bus, the driver asked him where he was going.

"Go home."

He didn't go to the club. Dajin and Dafang went to Yunnan with a few others to help deal with Zhuo Yu'an's affairs, while he returned home to be alone and cultivate himself.

As soon as I got home, I received a call from his mother saying:

"Did I tell you She's planning to go back to China for work. Your dad asked her to come back to Beijing and arranged a job for her, but she wants to go to Senzhou. Could it be that she wants to find you"

"No." He wasn't willing to think about it too much. Xiao Cai was responsible for everything Gu Ruanruan needed in her life abroad.

Didn't you say anything Did you go to find her little sister, Miss Lu from the Lu family That young lady is in Senzhou, isn't she

"Gu Ruandong, who was about to hang up the phone, paused when he heard the words "Miss Lu." He didn't immediately hang up. "

“Are they close”

"Ruan Ruan has only had this one friend her whole life, so they should be close. Your dad said he still hopes Ruan Ruan will return to Beijing. Otherwise, if word gets out, people might think we don't care about her, and that wouldn't sound good."

"Got it."

Gu Ruandong hung up the phone directly after answering.

I'm not very concerned about Gu Ruoru's affairs. Her wings are on her own body, and where she wants to go is her freedom. Of course, out of face for the old man, he hopes she can live well abroad and not come back. Although there are a few blood relatives in China, they might just drain her. There's no need to be in contact with them.

To his surprise, after some time had passed, Gu Ruanruan returned to the country, and her younger sister Lu Yaoyao unexpectedly came to visit him.

Well, how do I put it

At that time, he was in a meeting and saw her, though afraid, putting on a brave face and looking aggressive as she stood at the doorway of the conference room, staring at him. He licked his teeth nervously, and only one word came to mind: a lamb entering a tiger's den.

He held back from bothering her again, and she came right to him.

He wasn't planning on paying her any mind that day. After having Xiao Cai send her to the lounge, he intended to just ignore her until she left on her own. But it turned out she was very patient and kept waiting in the lounge.er day and night had almost made her forget that they hadn't remarried.Shu Tinglan glanced at him and asked.“Are you going back to the capital to celebrate the New Year”Cheng Zhimin has already called...
