Chapter 96 I'm petty

Lu Fengqing subconsciously looked at Gu Suixing.

Didn't you say you'd resolve it? Why are you organizing an engagement party?

Gu Suixing didn't even glance at Gu Jingdong, and led Lu Fengqing toward where the car was parked.

Gu Jingdong did not stop him.

The secretary following behind him couldn't hold back her anger and said indignantly, "Fourth Young Master has gone too far. You are his brother, after all. This is too arrogant."

Gu Jingdong glanced at his secretary and said calmly, "There's nothing to be angry about. If our roles were reversed, I would be even more arrogant than him."

Those who are high above disdain hypocrisy and pandering; only those who are trampled underfoot need to put on a smiling face.

The secretary paused, then fell silent.

Gu Jingdong looked at him and said, "If you were even half as capable as Assistant Fang, I wouldn't be so overworked and have to do everything myself."

Gu Jingdong turned around and said, "Go to the finance department to settle your salary yourself."

The secretary's face drained of all color.

-

The two ate a quick meal outside and then went straight back to their apartment.

Gu Suixing's apartment was only about 50 square meters, and it felt quite crowded after Lu Fengqing and her several suitcases were added.

It's somewhat like the small apartment the two of them rented outside of university back then.

It's small, but cozy.

Unfortunately, neither she nor he ever stayed there more than a few times.

Lu Fengqing held her phone and lay on the sofa, starting to edit and filter the photos she had taken of herself while eating.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, his swaying feet were grabbed, and the next moment, a weight was placed on his back.

Lu Fengqing's elbow, which was supporting her upper body, was pressed down, and she sank deep into the soft sofa.

"Get up," Lu Fengqing whispered.

Gu Suixing propped himself up slightly, glanced at the phone in her hand, and suddenly reached out and swiped it a few times.

When Lu Fengqing raised her head again, she saw that she had two black mustaches in the photo.

"..." How childish!

Lu Fengqing pinched Gu Suixing's waist with her other hand and quickly pressed the undo button on the screen a few times.

Warm breath sprayed on my neck and shoulders, and the man's deep voice sounded in my ear: "Get some rest. We're going to visit the Xie family tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Can't you see she's busy?

Besides, it's so early, it's not even eight o'clock yet, why would anyone want to sleep?

Who is it that always says they're going to sleep but ends up arguing until the middle of the night?

Ah, men, she's seen through them.

Sure enough, the next second they heard that bastard say, "It's fine if we don't sleep. Let's do something else."

Lu Fengqing: "..."

She knew it!

Lu Fengqing grabbed the mischievous hand and turned to look at him innocently, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate for us?"

Gu Suixing: "What's wrong with it?"

Lu Fengqing said slowly, "You're about to get engaged, so you'll soon be practically a married man. What we're doing is wrong."

Gu Suixing stopped what she was doing, a half-smile on her face. "With whom?"

Lu Fengqing: "Who knows?"

Anyway, it wasn't with her.

You stinky man!

Gu Suixing got off her back and stood up. The next moment, he bent down, picked her up, carried her on his shoulder, and strode towards the room.

"What engagement? Our domineering CEOs just snatch the girl they fancy, take her home, and have their way with her. The next day, they drag her to the civil affairs bureau to get the marriage certificate and lock her up."

"..."

Lu Fengqing choked for a moment, then thought seriously for a while and found that she couldn't refute it.

Based on her extensive reading experience, it's common for female supporting characters to get engaged to the male lead, the CEO. If the female lead gets engaged to the female lead, then the novel is either a tragic story or a romance novel with a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love and a "wife-chasing" plot.

Lu Fengqing couldn't understand what she and Gu Suixing were, but she didn't care to think about it now.

There's a saying that men might actually have special talents in certain areas. At first, this jerk would hurt her, but after a while, his flirting skills improved significantly.

Lu Fengqing was pampered to the point of extreme comfort, and her fox-like eyes were filled with a captivating, watery light.

Her flushed face was more beautiful and captivating than the preserved roses in the glass box on the bedside table.

This preserved flower was given to Lu Fengqing by Huo Huaisui after he heard that Lu Fengqing had temporarily moved out of Xinghe to stay for a few days.

It wasn't a special holiday, yet they were clearly so poor they couldn't afford to eat, and they still sent flowers with a guilty and ingratiating look on their face. It all seemed so strange.

Lu Fengqing asked once but couldn't get an answer, so she simply gave up and accepted the gift. After bringing it back, she kept it on her bedside table.

After the afterglow faded, Lu Fengqing lay lazily on the bed, her fingers lightly tracing the man's handsome face.

"I heard that the number of women who want to become Mrs. Gu is enough to circle the entire city of A."

Gu Suixing raised his head, their noses touching, his peach blossom eyes full of smiles.

His daughter is still too thin-skinned and too concerned about saving face.

She clearly wanted to ask him if he had ever been with other women, but she deliberately rounded off the question several times.

If I didn't know her so well, I might have actually fallen into her trap after a few rounds of questioning.

Gu Suixing said, "I am petty and loyal to one person to the end."

There are plenty of beautiful women, but there's only one in the whole world who truly satisfies you.

Lu Fengqing looked at him and suddenly remembered that when she decided to keep the child, her grandmother and aunt had both asked her the same question.

They asked her, "Was it worth it?"

She clearly remembers her answer at the time: "I don't know if it's worth it, but I want this child."

Everyone around her thought she gave birth to Rui Rui for Gu Suixing's sake, but that wasn't entirely true; she also did it for herself.

She loves the child's father, and the child's father loves her, so she wants to have this child. Even if their feelings fade with time, she will still love her child, the only child in the world with whom she has a direct blood relationship.

For more than twenty years of her life, she has been constantly making peace with herself, and the only thing she has persisted in is giving birth to Rui Rui.

Perhaps in the future she will follow her grandfather's arrangements, marry and have children like an ordinary woman, but that will be different. Those will be her children with other men, not her children with the person she loves most.

Concealing her past is unfair to her current partner; it's deception, and she can't get past that. After getting engaged to Tang Xingzhou, she considered telling him the truth. She planned to wait until he had a happy birthday before bringing it up. If he could accept it, she would try to accept him and live a good life together. If he couldn't accept it… Mrs. Tang didn't like her, and the two families disagreed on the marriage, so the date couldn't be set. If she wanted to cancel the engagement, it wasn't too late.

She had imagined many possible reactions from Tang Xingzhou, but she never thought she would have any chance to say it out loud.

Lu Fengqing blinked her slightly moist eyes, raised her hand to hug the man on her back, and said softly, "Your love talk is a bit corny, but I like hearing it."

Her response was a kiss from a man with a smile on his face.

Half-asleep, Lu Fengqing mumbled, "Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Gu Suixing paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I like them both."

After a while, he added, "Whether you have a child or not is up to you. Why don't you think about when to go get the marriage certificate with me?"

Lu Fengqing had already fallen into a deep sleep and did not hear his last words.

-

The Xie family's old residence is also located in the suburbs, but in the north of the city, in the exact opposite direction to the Lu family's old residence.

The Xie family's old residence is a large, antique-style courtyard with a vast area. It is said to be divided into four large courtyards and thirteen smaller courtyards, with shady trees and crisscrossing paths, making it easy for unfamiliar people to get lost.

Lu Fengqing was led by Gu Suixing and followed the maid all the way inside. She kept looking left and right, but after looking for a long time, she still couldn't recognize a single path.

She tripped over something and stumbled forward.

The man's strong hand reached out in front of her waist before she fell, catching her steadily.

Before Lu Fengqing could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the man say in a low voice, "I only did it once last night."

"?"

"..."

you……

Lu Fengqing's face flushed red. She glanced quickly at the maid walking in front of her, wishing she could shove the bag in her hand into this scoundrel's mouth.
