Chapter 267

He looked truly aggrieved; his face, which had been pale since childhood, was red at the corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards who were holding black umbrellas and preparing to welcome Du Yue not far away all had their pupils dilated.

They always had stern faces when they were with Du Yue, so their facial expressions didn't reveal their shock, but their eyes didn't lie; the intense horror in their eyes was palpable.

This is... President Du!?

Du Yue, who had just finished speaking and was waiting for Ling Wu's embrace, lowered his head, looking pitiful and wronged.

As time went by, another tear slid down from the corner of his eye to his jawline.

"No...no hug, I...I won't hug you then." He offered himself a way out, his voice choked with sobs and pauses from crying for so long.

He was sobbing, and even with his head down, the redness in his eyes was clearly visible on his tall, 1.8-meter frame.

This contrast not only brings cuteness, but also a touch of beautiful fragility due to her excellent facial features.

He didn't have to wait long before he felt a gentle force on his back.

A rich, cool fragrance also followed.

Although it was just a pat on the back from Ling Wu, Du Yue still felt a secret joy in his heart.

He knew it! Xiao Wu loved him the most!

"Your subordinates are still watching you. If you keep crying, you'll lose face later." Ling Wu smiled and patted his back.

After being coaxed by Ling Wu, Du Yue couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. After suppressing his lips, he looked up, his bewildered face meeting Ling Wu's eyes.

He paused for a moment, carefully confirming that Xiao Wu was not impatient, before turning his head to look at the bodyguard standing not far away with the black umbrella, following Ling Wu's words.

However, the pitying look that Du Yue had just given Ling Wu was now completely gone, replaced by indifference.

Upon receiving his cold gaze, the bodyguards, who had been expressionless and filled with terror, all swallowed hard and immediately lowered their heads, their eyes full of respect.

Sure enough, this is their CEO, Mr. Du.

They must have been seeing things when they saw that Mr. Du wagging his tail like a pitiful little dog!

Du Yue calmly withdrew his gaze, and when he met Ling Wu's eyes again, he returned to his pitiful state from the beginning.

Ling Wu wasn't surprised to see his expression change.

After all, even in his previous life, despite his bad character and lazy ways, he had already built up a business early on. If he were truly a pitiful and simple-minded person, he wouldn't have been able to do that.

But she didn't say anything, just nodded to him before withdrawing her hand.

Du Yue pursed his lips. He wanted to get closer to Xiao Wu, but since Xiao Wu didn't like it, he would just have to endure it. Anyway, six years had passed, so what was the big deal?

that is……

I'm still a little sad.

"You haven't contacted me even once in all these years." He had been looking for Xiao Wu for a long time, but he had never been able to find any trace of her.

Ling Wu, holding a transparent umbrella, replied, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy."

Du Yue pondered for a moment, then asked solemnly, "Can I help Xiao Wu? Does Xiao Wu need money?"

“I have a lot of money. I can help you with anything you want to do. I also own a technology company. If you like it, I can give it to you right now.”

As he spoke, he took out a card and handed it to Ling Wu, saying, "This is my card. Xiao Wu, you can use it however you like. Spend as much as you want. Anyway, making money is the easiest thing to do. I'll transfer all my money to this card from now on."

He looked at Lingwu with starry eyes, handing her the card in the same way he had done years ago when he braved the wind and snow to see her off, giving her the little white rabbit hair clip.

But whether then or now, what he offered to Ling Wu was what was most precious to him at that moment.

The little white rabbit hair clip from six years ago and this card from six years later are both expressions of his tangible emotions that he presented to Ling Wu.

Lingwu could sense the seriousness with which he spoke those words.

If she agrees, the boy in front of her will not only offer her everything, but will also be overjoyed.

Lingwu pushed the card back and asked, "Don't give away what you've worked so hard for so easily in the future."

Du Yue did not hesitate, "I've never done this before. I'm doing this today only because you're Xiao Wu."

Because she is the fifth child.

In the hearts of the children of Wanyue Village, no one can compare to Xiao Wu in the slightest.

In that already romanticized childhood, Xiao Wu, who remained as gentle as ever despite the trials and tribulations of time, is a forever special presence in the hearts of all the children in Wanyue Village.

Qin Dong, who was following Ling Wu not far away, did not panic. He had recognized Du Yue as Da Yue the moment he saw him.

Although Dayue has grown from a chubby little boy into a tall and slender young man, the way he looks at Lingwu is no different from how he did back then.

Qin Dong did not rush forward, but followed Ling Wu at a distance, like an invisible person.

Since he had decided from the beginning not to acknowledge her and to protect her well, he would not change his mind.

He was not a perfect person, and he was afraid that he would have unrealistic expectations because of that childhood friendship.

Only by stopping here can one truly achieve self-discipline and return to propriety.

His thoughts flashed by, and he immediately looked around. Unbeknownst to him, the group of bodyguards had already been scanned again and again by the people who were secretly following the doctor.

Du Yue neither knew nor wanted to know. His whole heart was focused on Ling Wu, fearing that in the blink of an eye, the person he had waited for for six years would turn into smoke and leave him.

So even when walking side by side with Ling Wu, he would often steal glances at her.

After being stared at for a while, Ling Wu finally caught her in the act, asking, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Du Yue hurriedly looked away like a startled rabbit.

His appearance was also seen by the girl in the white dress. She bit her lip to hide the darkness in her eyes, and turned away with a lost and dejected look on her face.

But the gaze that was watching her from the shadows did not disappear.

Not only must we be on high alert around the PhD, but we must also thoroughly investigate anyone who deliberately appears around him.

In particular, she didn't know the doctor, yet she found out about things concerning the doctor's life.

Jiang Qian gave a wink to the person next to her and then took out her communicator to send a message to her superiors.

Only after she finished doing everything did she turn her gaze away from the direction the girl had left.

If it were just about a young girl named Si Ai, that would be one thing.

But if she only got close to Du Yue because of the PhD, then the Ye family is in for a world of hurt.

Jiang Qian's already serious face appeared even colder and harder under the rain.
