Fu Linchuan's excuse was particularly good, because the jewelry store that Lu Gaoliang had mentioned before was right next to the Dongfeng Hotel.
After the two got off the bus, Lu Gaoliang teased Fu Linchuan as they walked, "Fu Linchuan, you really are something else. You treat your wife so well, but you don't even bring her out to let us meet her."
Fu Linchuan pondered, "Let's wait until this competition is over. I haven't been home for quite a while."
He also misses Xu Chunmai.
He wasn't just thinking about Xu Chunmai; he also missed his two beloved daughters.
"Okay, let's wait until after our match."
After turning a corner, Lu Gaoliang pointed to a jewelry store that was still lit up, "Linchuan, look, that's the one. It says 'Gold and Precious Jewelry' on the sign. Gao Ning had her eye on one of their bracelets before, but as you know, I'm really short of money. I can't very well ask my family for money to buy Gao Ning the bracelet, so I had to give up."
Fu Linchuan nodded, "Once you start working, you'll naturally earn money. You can buy whatever you want then. Everyone's financial situation isn't good right now, so there's no need to worry about this."
Lu Gaoliang touched his nose. "Actually, you're right, but Gao Ning was a little unhappy at the time, and I felt quite guilty."
Fu Linchuan said, "Gao Liang, feelings between two people are mutual. You respect her, and she also cares about you. A relationship cannot last if only one side makes sacrifices."
Lu Gaoliang remained silent for a moment, then didn't respond.
The two walked forward and were about to enter the Jin Gui Jewelry Store when Lu Gaoliang spotted Gao Ning with his sharp eyes.
In Fu Linchuan's view, Lu Gaoliang's whole demeanor and spirit were completely different.
His eyes lit up when he saw Gao Ning.
He was about to call Gao Ning when he saw the man next to her. The man looked to be in his thirties, and was obviously much older than Gao Ning.
Gao Ning chatted and laughed with him as they went straight into the Dongfeng Hotel next door, without even seeing him.
Lu Gaoliang clenched his fists tightly and was about to rush into the Dongfeng Hotel.
Fu Linchuan grabbed the man and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Linchuan, I saw Gao Ning. She just entered this hotel with a man. I'm not mistaken, I'm sure I'm not mistaken."
Fu Linchuan realized that Lu Gaoliang was quite strong now, and it was difficult for him to pull him.
"And then what? Are you going to rush in now and confront Gao Ning, asking her why she fell in love with someone else?"
Upon hearing Fu Linchuan's words, Lu Gaoliang calmed down considerably.
He wasn't stupid; he just stood there, staring blankly at Fu Linchuan.
"Fu Linchuan, you knew all along, didn't you?" Lu Gaoliang asked. "You must have known that Gao Ning was with another man today, so you deliberately made an excuse to come here, didn't you?"
Fu Linchuan did not deny it. "Yes. Because I reminded you last time that you and Gao Ning have a very good relationship, and there's no way something might happen."
“Lu Gaoliang, whether you admit it or not, Gao Ning doesn’t have feelings for you. If you want to blame me, that’s fine. I just did what I thought was right as a classmate, a friend, and a brother. It’s better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. Gao Ning isn’t right for you, and you’re not right for her. If you want to rush in now and see what they’re doing, I’ve already booked a room for you. Here’s the key. It’s right next to the room they booked.”
As he spoke, Fu Linchuan slapped a key into Lu Gaoliang's hand.
Then he left.
This is something Lu Gaoliang has no choice but to admit or deny.
After Gao Ning, there will be more and more men, but none of them will be like Lu Gaoliang.
This is the path Gao Ning chose to climb upwards. In her future life plan, unless Lu Gaoliang is very rich and can be her stepping stone, Lu Gaoliang is not part of this plan.
Fu Linchuan's words still echoed in my ears.
The sound was so thorough.
Lu Gaoliang stared at the key in his hand for a long time. He pursed his lips and gripped the key tightly in his hand.
He looked up; it was already dark, and a cold wind blew, seemingly capable of slicing his face.
He just watched, until Fu Linchuan's figure grew further and further away.
The cold wind blew again, seemingly waking Lu Gaoliang.
He felt he had never been so clear-headed when it came to Gao Ning's issues.
Lu Gaoliang looked at the key in his hand, then at the gate of the Dongfeng Hotel.
He took a deep breath and went inside.
After he went inside, he shook his key and went in according to the door number on the key.
Lu Gaoliang sat on the hotel bed, unsure whether the hotel's soundproofing was truly subpar or if his ears were simply too sensitive.
The sounds coming from next door were so clear.
It grew darker outside, and the noise from next door finally stopped after what seemed like an eternity.
Lu Gaoliang's palms were covered in blood from his fingernails.
He stood up; nothing could be seen outside the window.
He suddenly heard a sound in the corridor, and his whole body tensed up.
Lu Gaoliang opened the door and walked out.
It met Gao Ning's rosy face perfectly.
Gao Ning stared blankly at Lu Gaoliang, completely unexpected to see him here.
"You were following me?"
Lu Gaoliang had thought a lot, but he never expected that Gao Ning's first words would be this.
Lu Jian'an, who was standing to the side, looked at Gao Ning and then at Lu Gaoliang.
"Xiao Ning, who is this?"
Gao Ning explained, "Yes, he's my cousin. My mom asked him to take care of me more often, but I never expected him to follow me here."
"Gao Liang, I'll explain to you later. Don't tell my parents anything."
Lu Jian'an looked Lu Gaoliang up and down, and heard Gao Ning address him, also surnamed Gao.
"Since you've run into Xiao Ning's cousin, I might as well tell you that Xiao Ning and I are truly in love, and I have the money to give her a satisfactory life. I'm sure your family has no complaints."
Lu Gaoliang didn't even look at Lu Jian'an. He just stared at Gao Ning and then uttered a few words, "Is this the life you want? Fine, Gao Ning, as you wish."
After saying that, Lu Gaoliang left gracefully.
As he sat on the bed, he thought about how to cause a scene.
Later, I realized that none of it mattered.
If you don't love them anymore, let them go.
Why make yourself so undignified over a woman?
He is a top student from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and has a bright future ahead of him.
Women will always exist.
However, it won't be a high-coagulation state.
The night wind grew colder, just like his heart, chilling to the bone.
Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of him.
The car window rolled down, revealing Fu Linchuan's face.
Lu Gaoliang was filled with shock. He had no idea how much time had passed since Fu Linchuan left.
"Fu Linchuan, you..."
Fu Linchuan specifically borrowed a driver from his uncle, otherwise, he wouldn't have finished his driver's license test yet.
"Lu Gaoliang, if we're still buddies, get in the car. If you still care, I'll leave first, and you can go back to school by yourself."
