Lu Lin said seriously, "I'm serious. It was my fault before. Yueyue, are you willing to give me a chance to make amends?"

His dark eyes were fixed on Gu Mingyue, filled with deep affection.

Gu Mingyue was overjoyed, but still acted coy, saying, "That depends on your performance."

She had to vent her anger for the injustice she had suffered.

If Lu Lin performs well, then of course we can give him a chance.

Otherwise, go somewhere cool and stay there.

Gu Mingyue agreed not only because of Lu Lin, but also because of the Lu family.

They are not related by blood, yet they are willing to treat each other as their own children.

Every day I either buy her clothes or take her out to play, afraid that she will be bored at home.

The Gu family never shortchanged the original owner materially, but they lacked sincerity in matters of the heart. They treated their daughter as a commodity, a product that could guarantee the Gu family's long-term wealth.

With such a mindset, Gu's parents didn't treat the original owner with much sincerity. Even her brother, who had grown up with her since childhood, treated her as a bargaining chip, which was truly heartbreaking.

Although the Lu family is small, everyone genuinely cares about their family.

Even in a high position, they did not lose their basic family and romantic love.

Having grown up in such an environment, Lu Lin's views on love and career are self-evident.

The two were originally betrothed as children, and before Lu Lin made any statement, Gu Mingyue followed him around like a hawk.

Now that he has seen his own heart clearly and taken the initiative to confess, Gu Mingyue feels a sense of relief after all her hardships.

His cold demeanor was intimidating, and she had to mentally prepare herself before daring to approach him. Every time she brought him something, she would have run away if it weren't for the sake of the rest of the Lu family.

She simply couldn't stand the way someone was constantly radiating coldness!

Fortunately, it was all worth it; her perseverance paid off.

But would it be too easy for Lu Lin to agree so readily?

Gu Mingyue's eyes flickered, her eyes suddenly reddening and welling up with tears. She said in a sobbing voice, "Back then, when people brought you things, you even told me to go out. Now you're saying this, who knows if it's true or not?"

Hearing her sobs, Lu Lin felt a bitter pang in his heart, realizing he had shot himself in the foot.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped away her tears, speaking softly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. You can hit me or scold me, I'll accept it."

Gu Mingyue pouted, "No way. You're a patient now. If anything goes wrong, my family will hold me accountable."

"They won't."

Lu Lin said confidently, "They like you so much, why would they want to settle scores with you?"

Since Gu Mingyue came, the house has been filled with laughter. Grandpa and Grandma are in a completely new mood, and Mom and Dad are coming home from get off work on time. Not to mention her little sister who can't wait to follow her around like a little shadow.

Lu Lin felt that if the two of them ever argued in the future, he would be the one who got beaten up 100%.

Gu Mingyue was pleased, but said modestly, "It's not as good as you say. Don't try to make me happy."

Her lips curled into a wide smile, and the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Looking at the delicate, white hand so close to his face, Lu Lin's heart stirred, and he secretly squeezed it. "So, what's your decision?"

After asking the question, he was on tenterhooks, intently awaiting Gu Mingyue's answer.

"Of course it's not good."

Hearing this answer, Lu Lin felt a pang of disappointment. He silently withdrew his hand and hung his head in reflection.

Given how badly he treated Gu Mingyue before, it's understandable that she was angry.

For men, shame isn't important.

Lu Lin believed that sincerity could move mountains, and that as long as he maintained a positive attitude, Gu Mingyue would eventually see his true feelings.

He kept his head down and didn't see Gu Mingyue's cunning gaze.

Lu Lin, with his head hanging low, looked so pitiful, like a poor puppy abandoned by its owner.

After teasing Lu Lin enough, Gu Mingyue finally stopped laughing. She cleared her throat and was about to speak when she heard the man speak.

"It's okay, you just need to wait where you are and don't push me away."

Being near the water tower, one gets the moon first; not to mention that this bright moon resides in one's own home, Lu Lin wants to seize the opportunity and drive away all of Song Shijie, Li Shijie, and Wang Shijie.

He looked at Gu Mingyue with sincere eyes, his gaze piercing straight into her heart.

She hadn't expected the man to be telling the truth.

Her expression relaxed, and she instantly became more relaxed, smiling with her eyes crinkling as she said, "Okay, if you don't perform well, I'll deduct points from your score."

Lu Lin's eyes lit up. "Okay, it's a deal."

Gu Mingyue handed him the clothes. "Here, try these on and see if they fit. I roughly described the size, but I don't know if they'll be okay. If they don't fit... ahhh!"

"Lu Lin! What are you doing!"

Gu Mingyue covered her eyes with her hands, but through the gaps between her fingers she glimpsed Lu Lin's muscular chest, which made her blush.

When did this man become such a repressed pervert?

Before, she wouldn't let him see, but today he's showing off like a peacock displaying its feathers. Before she could even finish speaking, he took off his clothes.

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was a Minion.

Lu Lin stared at her with wide, innocent eyes. "I've seen this before, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

A barely perceptible smile flickered across his lips.

How could such a little trick escape Gu Mingyue's notice?

Seeing the smile on his lips, Gu Mingyue felt like she had caught a little tail, and pretended to be angry, saying, "You still say you didn't do it on purpose."

Lu Lin's lips tightened. "What did you say? I don't understand."

He pushed the wheelchair to run away, but Gu Mingyue turned around and grabbed the handle.
