As Wen Lu spoke, she walked inside, completely ignoring the hateful gaze directed at her from behind.

Wen Lu and Gu Yao went to the private room that Gu Yao had reserved in advance. Not long after, the waiter started serving the dishes. Looking at the table full of food, Wen Lu couldn't help but frown.

"Hey, Miss Gu, isn't this a bit too wasteful? It's just the two of us eating, and you've ordered so much food. Isn't that going too far? Are you trying to feed me like a pig?"

Hearing Wen Lu's question, Gu Yao smiled faintly. She picked up a piece of steamed grouper and placed it in Wen Lu's bowl, reminding Wen Lu to eat it while it was hot.

"I didn't know your taste, so I wanted to order as many dishes as possible to see what you like to eat, so that I can order your favorite dishes next time we eat together."

Seeing how attentive Gu Yao was to her, Wen Lu didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Halfway through the meal, Wen Lu began to regret it. She should have brought Qian Lailai along; Qian Lailai would have definitely enjoyed the meal.

Gu Yao didn't talk much while eating. She would occasionally look up at Wen Lu, as if she had a lot of questions, but didn't know how to ask them.

Wen Lu finished eating, picked up a tissue from the side, wiped her mouth, then rested one hand on the table, lazily propped her chin up, and smiled gently at Gu Yao.

"Just ask me any questions you have. We're eating at the same table now, so don't worry, I can tell you anything you want to know."

Wen Lu was testing Gu Yao. She wanted to see if Gu Yao dared to think about her rebirth. If Gu Yao dared to think about it, then today would be a day of honesty, and she would tell Gu Yao everything. If Gu Yao didn't dare to think about it, then she would wait and wait for a reasonable explanation.

Just as Gu Yao was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Gu Yao frowned, told Wen Lu to wait a moment, and then stood up to open the door.

When Gu Yao opened the door, she saw the man standing outside. She was slightly stunned, then quickly slammed the door shut again. She never expected to run into Gu Jingkun here.

Hearing the sound of the door slamming shut, Wen Lu casually turned around in her chair, looking at Gu Yao's actions of pressing against the door of the private room with curiosity, and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with you? Who's that person outside?"

Upon hearing Wen Lu's question, Gu Yao shook her head vigorously. She didn't mind involving Wen Lu; she never expected Gu Jingkun to come here.

"It's okay, we probably went into the wrong private room."

Gu Yao locked the door to the private room, but the person outside didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go; the knocking seemed to be even louder than before.

"Open the door! If you don't, I'm going to kick it down!"

Just as Wen Lu was looking at Gu Yao with a puzzled expression, a clear, cold male voice suddenly came from outside. Wen Lu happened to recognize the voice.

"Gu Jingkun?"

Looking at the door that was being banged on, Wen Lu asked Gu Yao in confusion. She was wondering if something had happened between Gu Yao and Gu Jingkun without her knowledge, otherwise why would Gu Yao be so afraid of Gu Jingkun?

Gu Yao was surprised that Wen Lu recognized Gu Jingkun just by hearing his voice. She looked at Wen Lu in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Gu Jingkun too?"

Wen Lu rarely saw Gu Yao so nervous, so she smiled curiously and nodded.

"That's right, I do know him. What? Do you have a grudge against him?"

Wen Lu didn't care about the knocking noise outside. She knew that someone would come to stop them soon, and she wasn't worried that Gu Jingkun would actually break in.

But she's more concerned about what happened between Gu Yao and Gu Jingkun. She's known Gu Yao for so long and has never discovered that Gu Yao actually has someone she's afraid of.

Gu Yao looked at Wen Lu and hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to tell Wen Lu about her background. She had always felt inferior because of her identity, and she had never mentioned it even in front of Mei Ying.

Seeing Gu Yao's head bowed and her unwilling expression, Wen Lu didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she pointed out the window.

"The third floor shouldn't be very high. With your skills, leaving from there shouldn't be a problem. Go downstairs and wait for me. Leave the rest to me."

Wen Lu calmly looked at Gu Yao. She knew Gu Yao's skills; this height was nothing to Gu Yao, and she could easily leave.

At this moment, Gu Yao didn't have much time to think about how Wen Lu knew she was good at fighting. When she heard Wen Lu's suggestion, she immediately went to the bedside and left through the window without any hesitation.

Watching Gu Yao's hurried departure, Wen Lu narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that Gu Jingkun and Gu Yao had an unusual relationship, otherwise Gu Yao wouldn't have been so flustered.

After seeing Gu Yao leave, Wen Lu stood up and walked to the door of the private room. When she opened the door, she saw Gu Jingkun with a dark face.

After opening the door, Wen Lu casually leaned against the door of the private room, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing an expression of watching the show.

Mr. Gu looked rather unwell.

Gu Jingkun was surprised that Wen Lu would open the door. He hesitated for a moment, and his dark expression softened slightly. He sighed helplessly and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"How did you end up with her? Do you know how dangerous she is?"

"Dangerous? How could it be dangerous? Besides, does it really matter to Mr. Gu who I befriend?"

When Wen Lu heard Gu Jingkun belittle Gu Yao, her mood instantly soured. She had initially been in a good mood and could have been somewhat patient with Gu Jingkun, but now she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Seeing Wen Lu's expression turn cold, Gu Jingkun raised his hand to rub his temples and spoke wearily.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken my frustrations about her out on you. My tone was bad. Can I come inside and talk to you? There are so many people coming and going here, it's not really appropriate."

Gu Jingkun finally managed to finish his work before coming to see Wen Lu, but he didn't expect to upset her as soon as he saw her. He didn't mean to do it.

Wen Lu stood up from the door, turned around and walked into the private room. Gu Jingkun and Liang Ze walked into the private room together.

After entering the private room, Gu Jingkun looked at the empty room and the open window, sighed helplessly, walked to the window, glanced outside, and then reached out to close the window.
