Part 2, 'The East Land Sweet,' Chapter 22: Guardin

hanging up.""Wait, when are you going back to Senzhou Should I go to Qining to find you now I can also bring Shu Tinglan along. We could all four revisit Qining tomorrow and relive the old feelings."...Men who claim to embody traditional masculinity, when they stand there, they exude hormones that captivate the eye. Those standing beside them automatically fade into the background.

Today, the second phase of the commercial center opened. Some attendees at the ribbon-cutting ceremony were merchants from various industries within the mall, and others were customers who came to browse the shops for promotional activities. At this moment, everyone is standing on the square of the mall, waiting to enter after the ribbon-cutting.

Many had seen Gu Ruandong's videos online before, so this was their first time seeing him in person. There were even quite a few Lu Yaoyao fans who shouted "Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law" on stage and took pictures frantically.

Gu Ruandong raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who was egging things on, a smile playing at the corner of his lips. Once upon a time, his identity was no longer Gu Ruandong, but rather, he was known as her husband, Lu Yaoyao's husband.

Wang, beside him, said: "Why didn't you ask your star wife to help out with the scene today"

Gu Ruandong: "This small scene doesn't deserve my wife."

Being both arrogant and proud, Mr. Wang chuckled twice and shut up, silently swallowing this bowl of dog food.

The host enthusiastically introduced the projects of the second phase and the founders on stage. Just as he was about to announce that the ribbon-cutting ceremony would begin, everyone in the audience suddenly turned their attention to the other side of the square. The crowd there automatically parted to make way for a path down the middle. At the beginning of the path, a woman in a black dress, wearing high heels, walked gracefully towards the stage.

Her high heels were studded with diamonds, glittering in the sunlight. The thin strap hanging from her shoulder was also adorned with diamonds, and as she moved, the scattered light made her face look especially delicate.

In the crowd, the fans who had been calling Gu Ruan Dong Yao's brother-in-law just moments ago were now excitedly shouting: "Yao Yao, Yao Yao baby!" They held up cheering signs, some displaying her photos and others made of colorful lights spelling out her name. It was clearly a well-planned effort, not a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Lucy Yao smiled sweetly and greeted the crowd as she walked steadily toward the stage.

Just a ribbon-cutting ceremony, she walked out of the red carpet like a superstar.

She showed up uninvited to promote this business center and draw a crowd.

Gu Ruandong stood on the stage, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, full of tenderness.

Mr. Wang muttered, "Didn't you say this scene wasn't worthy of your wife, so you wouldn't come"

Gu Ruandong evaded the question: "Don't forget to pay her the endorsement fee."

The person's appearance fee is expensive.

Mr. Wang's heart was bleeding. To become an endorser just by taking a walk He even had to charge a fee for endorsing his own husband They'd made all the money themselves. He grumbled in his heart, but when Lu Yaoyao went on stage, he put on a fawning smile again, calling her "Mrs. Gu" with exaggerated deference.

Lu YaoYao, as always, said: "Just call me YaoYao."

Without hesitation, Automatic grasped Gu Ruandong's arm, seeming like a perfect match, proclaiming their ownership.

This was the first time they had appeared on stage together since their wedding, so all eyes were on her. The media began to interview her about her married life, plans for having children, and so on. She smiled and took the microphone from the host:

"Thank you all for your attention to me and my husband, but please don't steal the spotlight. Today is the grand opening of a shopping mall under my husband's company. It's a comprehensive commercial complex that meets all your needs for food, clothing, entertainment, leisure, and more. Everything you need is here. Welcome everyone to experience it."

Then, pass the topic back to the host.

The host then announced that the ribbon-cutting ceremony had officially begun.

Gu Ruandong and Lu YaoYao shared a pair of scissors, his hand holding hers as they cut together.

As the applause died down, Lu Yao quietly asked, “How did I do”

"Very good." She was wonderful.

Lu Yaoyao pursed her lips and smiled. In reality, it was Sister Hao who ordered her to come, and the fans below were also arranged in advance by Sister Hao.

Haojie's original words were: This is a good opportunity for you two to make a public appearance together. Show everyone Mrs. Gu's status and suppress those demons who want to get close to Young Master Gu.

She gladly agreed to come.

I didn't see many demons or ghosts, but I did see that girl named Baosang. She was at the restaurant on the top floor, and from afar, I saw her giving out seating numbers to guests at the bar counter.

This restaurant is a well-known national chain, and the shopping mall attracted it to increase foot traffic. The first year, they only charged half the rent.

Wang Zong, who made the reservation, will be brought upstairs directly after the ribbon-cutting ceremony with several other shareholders. Since it's the grand opening today and there is a 50% discount, a long queue has already formed at the store entrance. To everyone's surprise, Bao Sang is personally greeting guests at the entrance.

Mr. Wang also knew Baosang, but their relationship wasn't as close as those of Baosang and Dagjin or Dagfang. So he was unaware of the matter between Baosang and Gu Ruandong.

Gu Ruandong stopped and asked Wang, "What's going on"

Mr. Wang said, "It turns out the original owner of the restaurant ran into financial difficulties halfway through renovations and had to sell it to Baosang."

Lu YaoYao chuckled beside him, shook off Gu Ruandong's hand, and strode straight towards the restaurant.

She was too eye-catching, everyone in line at the front of the restaurant turned to look at her, the space seemed frozen, at the entrance of the restaurant, it was eerily quiet.

She walked up to Bao Sang and said, "Get a number."

The two have very different appearances, they are completely different types of girls, but if it comes to facial features, Lu Yaoyao is still more delicate.

Bao Sang glanced at Gu Ruandong behind her, then lowered her head to rank her on the computer at the bar.

There are still 15 tables ahead, about an hour and a half.

Lu Yaoyao took the ranking number and sat directly on a chair next to Baosang, ignoring their previously reserved seats.

This is obviously throwing a tantrum. Mr. Wang has a look of cold sweat all over his face, he doesn't know why she suddenly got angry for no reason He glanced at Gu Ruandong, meaning you should advise your wife.

Lu Yaoyao sat there calmly, glancing at Bao Sang from time to time and then at Gu Ruandong. They weren't unfamiliar with each other, were they Why was he opening a restaurant in your mall

Gu Ruandong gestured for Wang Zong to lead the shareholders in first, and he stayed outside to accompany her.

Mr. Wang: Is this how you always treat him

Not only did he indulge her, but he also bent down and squatted in front of her. Wang Zong was momentarily blinded by this gesture and thought he was going to kneel.

Even Lian Lu Yao was startled, seeing Gu Ruan Dong squatting in front of her. She instinctively took a step back, her eyes wary. What did he want to do in broad daylight

Gu Ruandong smiled: "Your shoelaces are loose, let me tie them for you."

Lu Yaoyao looked down. The strap on her high heels that was tied around her ankle had come loose, so she had to lean forward slightly so he could help her.

Gu Ruan Dong's fingers were slender, and his movements while tying shoelaces were very skillful... Because he often went out with her, and had tied them for her many times!

There were a lot of people queuing outside the restaurant. Seeing this, several girls exclaimed: "He's so spoiled!"

Gu Ruandong finished his eastern stance, and still squatted, meeting her gaze: "Don't you want to come in"

Never cast more than a glance at Bao Sang from beginning to end.
