Lu Huan made an excuse to take care of Chu Han and deliberately went to sit in the back.

She didn't want to return to the Lu family and have Lu Sangsang see her with Chu Jun, causing some kind of dramatic misunderstanding.

Chu Jun was driving when he glanced at Lu Huan in the back seat, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.

Before, she always longed to be with me, sitting in the passenger seat, wanting to tell the whole world that I was hers. But now she avoids me like the plague, as if I were some kind of monster, always running away whenever we meet.

Does she really not like me anymore?

Chu Jun couldn't believe it; this was even harder than accepting the fact that Lu Huan had lost her memory.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Jun suddenly asked, "How have you been lately?"

Lu Huan paused for a moment, then met Chu Jun's gaze in the rearview mirror. "Me?"

There were only three people in the car, and one of them was fast asleep. He couldn't very well talk to someone who was asleep.

This Chu Jun, who used to not even bother to look at her, is now actually asking about her. Lu Huan chuckled dryly, "I'm doing great!"

He could tell that Lu Huan was indeed doing quite well; her complexion was rosy and radiant, and she looked much better than before.

Chu Jun paused for a moment before finally asking the question that had been on his mind for a long time, "...Are you still with Gu Zhendong?"

Listen to this, is he asking a question like a human being?

It's one thing to hate her, but do you also want to curse her and Gu Zhendong?

Since it was his own business, Lu Huan didn't want to tell outsiders.

But then I thought, could it be that he wanted to know how my relationship with Gu Zhendong was, and whether I would bother him again in the future?

Don't worry, she wouldn't dare to steal the female lead's man even if you beat her to death.

Lu Huan thought for a moment and said, "I'm doing fine with him."

Once Gu Zhendong returns, the two of them should get their marriage certificate.

Chu Jun still believes that Lu Huan's relationship with Gu Zhendong is a deliberate attempt to provoke him. His expression was not good, and his tone was equally cold. "That's good!"

Chu Jun took Lu Huan home, but Lu Huan acted like a thief, not even saying goodbye, and ran straight home.

Chu Jun's expression grew increasingly grim. He stared at Lu Huan's retreating figure until she disappeared from sight before driving away.

Lu Huan sneaked back to her room. Upon hearing the noise, Gun Gun immediately jumped out of its cat bed and ran towards her, meowing.

Lu Huan bent down and picked up Gun Gun, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, the Lu family members were all asleep at this time. If someone had seen her getting out of Chu Jun's car, Lu Sangsang would have harbored even more resentment towards her.

Gu Zhendong originally planned to return the day after tomorrow, but early the next morning, he received a message from Fu Hanshen.

A photo, along with Fu Hanshen's teasing words: "Oh ho, so your little girlfriend has gotten back together with Chu Jun?"

The photo wasn't very clear, but Gu Zhendong still recognized Lu Huan and Chu Jun at a glance.

In the photo, Chu Jun is holding Lu Huan's arm, but it doesn't seem like they're being particularly intimate.

Fu Hanshen said this on purpose only to see Gu Zhendong's reaction.

He had known Gu Zhendong for so many years and had never seen Gu Zhendong show any interest in any woman.

He even suspected that Lu Huan, who had suddenly appeared, was just someone Gu Zhendong had randomly picked to appease his parents' pressure to get married.

When Gu Zhendong saw the photo, his face darkened immediately. He called Fu Hanshen and asked bluntly, "Where did you get this photo?"

“I ran into him last night when I went to Heaven on Earth with some friends for drinks.”

Fu Hanshen was in a bad mood yesterday. He had some drinks with some friends and happened to witness this scene, so he casually took a picture.

Heaven and Earth?

So, the voice that suddenly appeared last night was Chu Jun's?

No wonder Lu Huan sounded flustered when she answered the phone last night, and her words were incoherent, sometimes talking about taking a shower and sometimes about going for a run.

Hehe, very good!

System Xiao Hao, knowing that the host was angry again, dared not speak up.

However, if you don't come out, you can't post new tasks.

After thinking about it, I figured I'd upgrade as soon as possible, so what was this little thing?

Xiao Hao stubbornly appeared and said emotionlessly, "Host, your task today is to give your girlfriend a surprise."

Gu Zhendong: ...

Give Lu Huan a surprise?

All he wants now is to settle scores with her!

Gu Zhendong had to complete his mission and had to end his business trip early, taking the earliest flight back home.

Throughout the journey, Gu Zhendong's face was gloomy, as if someone owed him millions.

Kong Xun didn't dare to breathe, fearing that Gu Zhendong would vent his anger on him.

After getting off the plane, the driver who came to pick me up had been waiting for a long time.

The driver put the luggage in the trunk, and Gu Zhendong got into the car, still having a headache over the task the system had issued that morning.

After thinking it over and over, he really didn't know how to give Lu Huan a surprise.

Turning to Kong Xun, he asked, "What do you think would surprise the other person?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xun realized that this was exactly the surprise that President Gu wanted to prepare for Miss Lu!

He felt he deserved a raise, since he had to worry about work and also offer advice on his boss's love life.

Without hesitation, Kong Xun said, "Mr. Gu, didn't you prepare an engagement ring for Miss Lu? This is the perfect opportunity to give her a romantic proposal! No woman can resist the surprise of a proposal!"

The engagement ring was specially designed by Gu Zhendong according to Lu Huan's size, and it just arrived yesterday.

Gu Zhendong had been thinking about this all the way, but he hadn't thought of it.

Proposal……

To surprise Lu Huan, Gu Zhendong decided to propose to her.

Kong Xun was left to handle the small details of the proposal venue and decorations.

"If you do well, your year-end bonus will be doubled."

Double year-end bonus?

Is there any phrase in this world more beautiful than this?

Kong Xun's eyes lit up, and he became even more motivated to work.

Gu Zhendong had other things to do in the afternoon and needed to meet with someone.

This person was none other than Chu Jun, who had kindly helped Lu Huan up last night.

Despite posing as someone discussing business, Gu Zhendong's gaze towards Chu Jun carried a hint of malice.

Chu Jun ignored the sinister gazes, finished discussing business with Gu Zhendong, and then invited Gu Zhendong to dinner that evening with a smile.

Gu Zhendong casually straightened his sleeves, a slight smile appearing on his cold face. "No, I'm going to propose tonight."

Chu Jun was taken aback, and subconsciously murmured, "A marriage proposal?"

Could it be with Lu Huan?

She looked up at the man sitting in front of her. His face was a little pale, but it couldn't hide his good looks. He had a sickly, feminine beauty. It would be hard for any woman to resist a man like that.

Chu Jun's voice suddenly became a little hoarse. "Is it with Lu Huan?"

Even though he already had the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, wanting Gu Zhendong to confirm it in person.

Gu Zhendong raised a brow with his dark eyes. "Besides her, could it be anyone else?"

This question left Chu Jun speechless.

Lu Huan used to pursue Chu Jun like crazy, but Chu Jun never gave her a second glance and never acknowledged their relationship in public.

Right now, he has even less right to be jealous.

But Chu Jun knew perfectly well that Gu Zhendong had deliberately brought up the marriage proposal to see his reaction.

He was feeling a terrible ache in his chest because of Gu Zhendong's marriage proposal to Lu Huan, but he had to pretend to be nonchalant in front of Gu Zhendong.

He couldn't help but wonder how Lu Huan would react to the proposal. Would she be happy? Surprised?

Will Lu Huan agree to his request?

If I think about it, when Lu Huan mentioned Gu Zhendong last night, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes. She should be able to accept the proposal!

Chu Jun forced a smile: "Congratulations, President Gu."

Chu Jun's congratulations sounded very insincere.

Lu Huan wouldn't dare to get involved with another man; it must be Chu Jun doing it on purpose.

However, Gu Zhendong had already achieved his goal. "When Huanhuan and I get married another day, President Chu, please remember to attend."

Putting everything else aside, he will definitely deliver the wedding invitation to Chu Jun personally.

Chu Jun gave a stiff smile. "Okay, I'll definitely come to your wedding, Mr. Gu."

Gu Zhendong achieved his goal and left satisfied.

Lu Huan was a bit busy today, for no other reason than that the results of the selection for the host of the school anniversary celebration came out early this morning.

She originally thought that with Yu Ting around, the host position had nothing to do with her, but she never expected that it would actually fall to her in the end.

When Lu Huan received the notification, she was completely stunned. She had to confirm with her teacher several times before she dared to believe it.

Lu Huan was a little curious as to how the hosting job had fallen to her.

At noon, she told Xin Yue and Chu Han about it, and they were both happy for her.

Without hesitation, Xin Yue replied, "Why else? It must be because you're outstanding!"

Chu Han chimed in, "Yeah, your strength speaks for itself. Even if Yu Ting doesn't like you, so what? She can't make the decisions!"

Who does Yu Ting think she is? Just because she has a good relationship with her brother, she really thinks she's something special.

Faced with the two men's elaborate flattery, Lu Huan reluctantly accepted it.

Regardless, this is a good start.

She was just notified this morning that she had been selected, and she has to go to rehearse the script this afternoon.

There was a lot of script to memorize, a program list that was several pages long.

Lu Huan glanced at them briefly and thought they weren't difficult.

When rehearsal began, Lu Huan first went over the script with her male co-host. Halfway through, Yu Ting also arrived at the rehearsal room.

As soon as Yu Ting entered, leaning on her crutches, she attracted a lot of attention.

She came to check things out. Lu Huan later learned from the male host that Yu Ting was not only the host of the school anniversary celebration, but also the planner of the entire gala.

Lu Huan nodded thoughtfully; Yu Ting's inspection at this moment was also within her job scope.

After rehearsing all afternoon, Lu Huan's mouth was dry, she drank a lot of water, and she was quite tired.

The male host's name is Zhang Yang. He is one year older than Lu Huan and is her senior in the same department.

Zhang Yang had long heard of Lu Huan, who had just transferred to the department, and knew that she was extremely talented in voice acting. He had also heard some of her voice acting works and felt that she not only imitated very well, but also had her own unique voice characteristics.

After going over the script, Lu Huan read almost every sentence correctly, and her overall performance was excellent.

Zhang Yang praised, "Junior Lu, you're amazing! Go back and review the script more, try to memorize it, and you should be fine!"

Lu Huan smiled and said, "Thank you, senior. I'll head back now."

Lu Huan packed her things and left the rehearsal room.

As I was leaving, I ran into Yu Ting, who greeted me, "Hello, Senior Yu."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ting almost dropped her cane.

Lu Huan and she had never gotten along, but today Lu Huan actually politely called her Senior Sister Yu.

Is the sun rising in the west?

Yu Ting glanced at Lu Huan, then snorted coldly, "You better rehearse properly and don't embarrass me!"

Lu Huan smiled and said, "Senior, I will try my best!"

Although Yu Ting disliked Lu Huan, she had to admit that Lu Huan's performance yesterday was excellent and satisfied all the teachers present.

Lu Huan left the school gate, intending to take the bus home.

He had only taken two steps when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Gu Zhendong calling.

I was so busy all day that I forgot to share this good news with Gu Zhendong.

Busy and happy, she answered the phone and sweetly called out to Gu Zhendong, "Are you done with your work today?"

The girl's voice was clear and joyful, and Gu Zhendong couldn't help but smile. "Yes, I'm done!"

Lu Huan bombarded her with questions, "Are you coming back tomorrow? What time will you be back? I'll come pick you up..."

"Look behind you."

Um?

What should we look forward to?

Lu Huan obediently did as she was told, turning her body to look back.

Gu Zhendong stood out in the crowd, and Lu Huan spotted him immediately.

Her clear eyes instantly filled with joy, and her bright smile widened infinitely. He actually came back early. Was this a surprise for her?

Before Gu Zhendong could speak, Xiao Hao suddenly jumped out.

—Congratulations, host, mission complete!

Gu Zhendong: ? ? ?
