"this......"

It's raining so hard outside, and neither she nor Sun Qianqian brought an umbrella. If they went out, they would definitely get soaked, and their wounds would become infected again.

Just as Gu Mingyue was about to answer, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Yueyue?"

Lu Lin thought he had misread the words. He came to the hospital for a follow-up examination, but he didn't expect to see Gu Mingyue here.

Seeing the familiar face appear before her, Gu Mingyue felt a sudden, intense pain in her arm, for some reason.

Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion, "Lu Lin."

At the same time, Lu Lin also noticed the bandaged wound on her arm, and his brows furrowed instantly.

"What happened?" His voice was low, filled with suppressed concern.

Gu Mingyue subconsciously tried to pull down her sleeve, but he gently pressed it down with his hand.

Lu Lin's fingers paused at the edge of the gauze, as if afraid of hurting her, and his movements were exceptionally gentle.

"I accidentally ran into a robber and got a minor injury." She smiled, trying to sound casual.

"A minor injury?" Lu Lin's gaze darkened. "So much blood and you call it a minor injury?"

Gu Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and said in a low voice, "It's already been taken care of, it's nothing to worry about."

Lu Lin didn't say anything more.

Gu Mingyue could tell that his worries hadn't lessened at all.

Gu Mingyue felt a little wronged. She didn't want to get hurt, but it was just a coincidence that she was cut by that person's dagger.

She just wanted to help and didn't want anything to happen to Sun Qianqian.

She had already reached the alleyway intersection, and even if the man had a dagger, her chances of winning were still very high.

Lu Lin's gaze fell on the wound on her arm. His voice softened, "In the future, if something like this happens, take care of yourself first."

Sun Qianqian felt terrible. She bowed deeply to Lu Lin and apologized, "I'm sorry, Comrade Lu. I'm the one who dragged you down. Otherwise, Sister Mingyue wouldn't have gotten hurt."

"How can you blame yourself? Blame that robber for stabbing me in the back, otherwise I wouldn't have been injured."

They kept talking, both worried that the other might be upset, and comforted each other.

At this moment, Lu Lin's gaze fell on Huai Lin, who was standing to the side. His male intuition told him that something was wrong with this man.

Ever since he appeared, this man has been staring at Yueyue, occasionally glancing at her.

He didn't believe that he had no feelings for Yueyue.

Yu Huailin: "Comrade Gu, who is this?"

Before Gu Mingyue could speak, Lu Lin took the initiative to say, "I am Yueyue's fiancé."

The sound was like a pebble thrown into water, instantly creating ripples.

Yu Huailin raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Gu Mingyue calmly, as if waiting for her answer.

Gu Mingyue smiled slightly. "His name is Lu Lin, and he is my fiancé."

Lu Lin's hand, which had been hanging at his side, moved almost imperceptibly, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

His gaze towards Gu Mingyue was like that of the warm spring sun; his previously tense jawline softened, and even the gloom in his eyes dissipated.

His ears turned slightly red. Even though he was the one who brought up the topic first, her initiative in admitting it made his heart flutter.

He gently brushed his fingertips against her uninjured arm, his voice lower than usual, with a barely perceptible smile: "Yes, that's me."

Seeing the other party's peacock-like display of power, Yu Huailin couldn't help but shudder.

Well, now there's absolutely no chance.

Judging from their attitude, they won't give up easily; Grandpa is probably going to be disappointed.

"So it's Comrade Lu. Hello, I'm Yu Huailin."

"So it's Comrade Yu."

The two men shook hands, and an instant connection flashed between them.

Sun Qianqian whispered in Gu Mingyue's ear, "Mingyue, don't you think there's something off about these two people?"

Gu Mingyue certainly noticed it; the two of them were sparking with incredible chemistry.

If she hadn't dodged in time, she might have been accidentally injured by the invisible sparks.

"I don't know if Comrade Lu drove over. If not, I'll take you back. It's raining heavily outside, and Comrade Gu is injured, so his arm shouldn't get wet."

Lu Lin said with a forced smile, "We have a car, so Comrade Yu need not worry about it."

Yu Huailin said with some regret, "Alright then, in that case, I won't bother you any longer. By the way, would it be convenient to ask Comrade Gu where he lives now? My grandfather and I will visit him to express our gratitude when we have time."

Gu Mingyue had already refused him twice, and she felt bad about refusing him a third time, so she gave him the location of the family compound.

"I'm currently staying at the Lu family's place. If you come, just mention Lu Lin's name."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin raised an eyebrow slightly. No wonder the man in front of him was so arrogant; it turned out he was the son of a high-ranking official.

Lu Lin pressed his body tightly against Gu Mingyue, as if asserting his ownership.

"Okay, goodbye."

Even though Yu Huailin had already left, Lu Lin was still annoyed by his departing figure.

"What are you looking at? They've already gone so far."

Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, he slowly withdrew his gaze, his tone carrying a hint of undisguised sourness: "I didn't see anything, I just feel that some people always like to go where they shouldn't be."

He reached out and straightened Gu Mingyue's coat, which had been askew on her shoulder, his movements carrying an undeniable possessiveness: "Stay away from him in the future. He looks like a pretty boy; he's obviously not a good person."

Looking at his tense profile, Gu Mingyue couldn't help but laugh: "Are you jealous?"

Lu Lin's ears turned slightly red, but he stubbornly said, "Who's jealous? I'm just worried you'll get harassed by someone again."

Even though he said that, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was incredibly soft—his awkward jealousy had long been overshadowed by his unconcealed concern.

While the two were talking, Sun Qianqian had already retreated to a place where she wouldn't get in the way, and was quietly eating while biting her clothes.

This is so cute!

I never expected that Comrade Lu, who is usually aloof, would be like this in front of Sister Mingyue.

Sun Qianqian couldn't help but mentally label Lu Lin as: aloof on the outside, a fiercely protective husband, stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.

The more she looked at them, the more she felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven.

When I have some free time, I must find an opportunity to "help them out" and take their relationship to the next level.

Thinking of this, she bit her clothes even harder, almost bursting out laughing—luckily, she covered her mouth in time.

She was so engrossed in her own imagination that she didn't notice Gu Mingyue and Lu Lin standing side by side in front of her.

Both of them had the same question in their eyes: What's wrong with this person? Why is he laughing so happily?

Lu Lin drove Sun Qianqian home first, and then drove back to the compound.

As soon as she entered the house, the two elders noticed the inexplicable bandage on Gu Mingyue's arm.

Their expressions instantly turned tense, and they rushed over one after the other to check on them.
