After sending the message, the woman, who had been flustered, unconsciously smiled.
Chu Jiahe's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you talking to?"
"Nobody!"
When she turned her head to look at Chu Jiahe, the smile in the corner of her eyes had not yet faded. It was a smile that went straight to the bottom of her eyes, without any concealment, pure and bright.
Chu Jiahe suddenly realized that he seemed to have never truly entered the heart of the woman before him. This suspicion terrified him. He couldn't help but ask, "Xintang, are you hiding something from me?"
"No!" Gan Tang shook her head.
Chu Jiahe looked away dejectedly. Since she didn't want to talk about it, he respected her choice. After taking the two to the hospital, the car turned and drove towards Yuanhuai Villa.
As Gan Tang walked into the courtyard, Chu Jiahe stepped forward and tightly embraced the girl who seemed to be leaving him forever.
"Xintang, we're getting engaged in five days."
"I know," Gan Tang said, her mind preoccupied with her parents, unable to see the panic and unease hidden in his eyes.
Chu Jiahe lowered his head and kissed the woman in his arms until her breathing became disordered and the sound of her heartbeat filled her body. Only then did he gradually calm the panic in his heart.
“Xintang, what I mean is, in five days, I will be the closest person to you in this world. You don’t need to hide anything from me anymore.”
Is it really okay not to hide it?
His intense gaze made her timidly look away.
"I know!" Gan Tang smiled sweetly, but ultimately said nothing.
For many days and nights afterward, she thought that if she had chosen to believe the man in front of her that day, her life might have been completely different.
But at that time, Gan Tang didn't have the courage to put him on the gambling table. She simply waved goodbye politely, watching the man who wanted to enter her heart walk further and further away.
A luxury car slowly drove out of the gate; it was Butler Ding himself driving: "Miss, let's go!"
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
The first time Gan Tang saw Lu Zhengqian's other villa estate, the huge stone archway with the three characters "Qinglongyuan" written on it.
To be precise, this is the lair of the Green Dragon Gang.
Lu Zhengqian bringing Gan Tang here means that he no longer treats her as his daughter, but as a member of the Qinglong Gang who can be dealt with according to the rules.
Behind the rocks, a jade dragon coils upwards, suspended high in the air, with a waterfall gushing from its mouth, cascading for miles, day and night.
If Yuanhuai Mountain Villa carries a touch of romantic restraint, then this place is a place of unrestrained and flamboyant desire.
Next came a dense forest, with a winding and secluded road.
Gradually, the sound of whipping came, becoming clearer and clearer, muffled, like whipping flesh.
Who is it?
Gan Tang was suddenly startled and quickly opened the car window.
Thankfully, the whip struck a tree wrapped in sheepskin.
Before the panic in her heart had subsided, there was a sharpening sound of knives being sharpened, followed by a mournful scream, like the squeal of a pig, extremely pitiful.
It really was a fat pig.
A fat pig was placed on a frame, and several young men surrounded the pitiful pig, cutting off pieces of meat with a knife. There was also a pot next to it.
Steam was rising from the steamer.
Although it was a pig slaughter, the blood, bones, and scattered internal organs made it look extremely gruesome.
She didn't know if Lu Zhengqian was deliberately provoking her, warning her that the world on the cruise ship hadn't disappeared.
After winding through nine bends and eighteen turns, and passing through three stone gates, the car finally entered the villa, and the terrifying sounds gradually ceased.
Butler Ding, who never gossiped, opened the door for Gan Tang and instructed her, "Miss, please don't upset Mr. Fu in a moment."
"Thank you!" Gan Tang nodded gently and walked into the brightly lit villa alone.
The hall was as bright as day, so bright it hurt the eyes.
When Gan Tang went in, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Everyone's really here!"
Behind the long jade-carved stone table, Lu Zhengqian still sat in the main seat.
On the right side of the long table sat He Zhong and Fu Shaojie; on the left sat Fu Cheng and Dr. Mu Zi, with an empty seat between them, and Mo Huaixing standing behind the empty seat.
It was as if nothing on the cruise ship had changed.
However, Lin Shuang sat on a high chair behind Lu Zhengqian and gently massaged his temples.
Gan Tang slowly walked forward and whispered, "Dad!"
Lu Zhengqian opened his eyes and said calmly, "Sit!"
Mo Huaixing stepped forward and pulled out a chair. Gan Tang sat down, her hands resting uneasily on her knees, but the expected reprimands did not materialize.
Lu Zhengqian seemed to have forgotten about that matter, and glanced at Mo Huaixing, "Now that you are the hall master, don't stand, sit down."
“Yes, Mr. Fu!” Mo Huaixing walked around the long table and sat down next to Fu Shaojie.
On the day of the gang leader's birthday, all members of the Azure Dragon Gang must pay homage to the gang leader.
At Ali's command, outside the transparent wall, teams of well-trained Green Dragon Gang members walked out and knelt down, shouting "Long live the Emperor!" and other congratulatory words.
The deafening roar of the competition rose higher and higher, making Gan Tang's heart pound with fear.
After the people below pay homage, it is the people above who present gifts.
Normally, He Zhong would be the first to present a gift, but this time, even Mo Huaixing had finished presenting his gift before he hurriedly presented a rather unremarkable jade carving.
However, Lu Zhengqian did not mind, because his gaze remained fixed on his daughter.
"Tang'er, what gift are you giving your father?"
A loving father's gentle voice.
Gan Tang said, "Dad, I'm sorry! I didn't know I was supposed to be here giving a gift today."
"It's alright! It's not too late for Tang'er to send them now." Lu Zhengqian still had a smile on his face: "Just tell your father where they are?"
