Chapter 90 Mr. Lu, Love Blossoms on the Ferris Wheel
The night breeze was a bit chilly.
Gu Xingnian walked slowly along the street aimlessly.
The streetlights cast a long, lonely shadow on her.
Suddenly, a black Maybach silently pulled up beside her.
The car door opened.
Lu Lie got out of the driver's seat.
He was very tall, and his well-tailored black suit accentuated his upright figure, broad shoulders, and narrow waist.
The night outlined his distinct features, his jawline taut.
He walked up to her in a few steps, his deep gaze falling on her face.
Why are your eyes red?
His voice was deep and carried an unquestionable tone.
Gu Xingnian subconsciously turned her face away.
"Let's go," Lu Lie said succinctly. "I'll take you somewhere."
He looked at her and added, "It's your birthday today, I'm here to celebrate with you."
Before Gu Xingnian could react, he gently grasped her wrist and led her to the back seat.
His palms were dry and warm, and his strength was undeniable.
They remained silent the entire way.
The car eventually stopped at the foot of Haicheng's landmark building—the tallest Ferris wheel.
Neon lights flashed, and a giant roulette wheel slowly turned, like a dreamlike invitation.
Lu Lie led her directly to the VIP passage. As they entered the transparent cabin, the Ferris wheel slowly rose, and the dazzling night view of Haicheng unfolded below, a kaleidoscope of lights, shimmering and colorful.
It's really beautiful.
But it was really high. Gu Xingnian's palms were sweating, and she couldn't help but grip the edge of the seat tightly.
Lu Lie noticed her stiffness, so he reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulder.
His movements were natural and carried a calming power.
"Don't be afraid of heights." He turned his head, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
"Only by standing tall can you see further."
His voice was very close and clear.
"With me, you can laugh, you can cry, you can be willful, you can be fearless—just be yourself!"
These words were like a key, unexpectedly unlocking the floodgates of her emotions.
The pent-up grievances and bitterness suddenly burst forth.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
She thought she didn't care anymore, she thought her armor was very strong, but in fact... it was very vulnerable!
Only now did she realize how deep the mark of those 12 years had been! Forcing herself to say she didn't care before was just a facade!
Lu Lie didn't say anything more, but simply pulled her closer to his chest and gently stroked her head. Three years have passed; it's time to get out of this mess!
His chest was broad and solid; she could feel his strong heartbeat through the thin shirt.
Gu Xingnian buried her face in his warm shirt, tears soaking a small patch of fabric.
He just held her like that, letting her cry.
As the elevator car rose to its highest point, it overlooked the entire city that never sleeps.
I don't know how much time passed.
A new trending topic has quietly emerged online.
#Lu Lie, CEO of Lu Corporation, and Miss Gu Xingnian fall in love on a Ferris wheel#
The position of this trending topic is quite subtle, as it is right below the one with the hashtag #FuBeichenConfessesToActressJiang#.
The accompanying image is a silhouette inside a Ferris wheel cabin, with a man tenderly embracing a girl in his arms, against the backdrop of Haicheng's stunning night view, creating a truly immersive atmosphere.
I must say, Lu Lie won this battle brilliantly!
Fu Beichen was so angry when he saw this trending topic that he trembled with rage.
He made a phone call, and the Fu family immediately activated emergency public relations, mobilizing global media resources to suppress Lu Lie's trending topics! They also began a complete purge of all news about him and Jiang Kexin!
Lu Lie and Fu Beichen's actions of praising and suppressing each other have stirred up a storm in the media circle, causing widespread panic!
...
In the early hours of the morning, the night was so dark it was almost impenetrable.
A black sedan silently glided past and stopped outside the Sheng family villa.
The car door opened, and Fu Beichen stepped out, his presence chilling the air.
Ten minutes ago, Lin Qi's report was concise and clear: Lu Lie personally brought Gu Xingnian back here.
The garden of the Sheng family villa wasn't very big. Fu Beichen looked up at the second floor and saw that most of the rooms were dark, except for one with light on.
He didn't intend to ring the doorbell.
"Gu Xingnian!" he shouted directly at the villa, "Come out here, I have something to say to you!"
The sound traveled exceptionally far in the quiet night.
"Gu Xingnian, I want to see you. Don't hide from me!"
He shouted it several times, with an undeniable stubbornness.
On the second floor, the master bedroom on the east side was dark, and two heads peeked out from the gap in the curtains.
“I told you he would definitely come,” Mrs. Sheng said in a low voice, with a hint of smugness. “You lost. This month, you take the fall and I'll take the fall. No cheating!”
This is a dangerous and treacherous gambling game that most people wouldn't understand.
Mr. Sheng frowned deeply: "Did we raise the height of our wall? It should be fine, right?"
Before Sheng's father could finish speaking, a dark figure had already nimbly scaled the wall and landed steadily.
The movements were clean and efficient, without any hesitation.
Mrs. Sheng gasped, "Hey, this kid's got some skills."
Dad Sheng: "..." He really got his face slapped fast.
Fu Beichen rushed to the front of the villa, looked up, and locked his gaze on the only room on the second floor with a light on.
"Gu Xingnian! I know you're here! Come out for a second! I have something to tell you!"
He shouted again, this time louder than before.
Suddenly, the door opened with a click, and it wasn't Gu Xingnian who stepped out.
It was Sheng Weiwei, with a nervous-looking Qing Ning beside her. The two girls stood on the balcony, looking down at him.
Sheng Weiwei crossed her arms and gave a mocking smile.
"Mr. Fu, is your skin made of a city wall corner reinforced with reinforced concrete?"
"You just finished that heart-wrenching love confession with Jiang Kexin, and then you rushed to Niannian's doorstep?"
"This seamless connection, even if you don't find it disgusting, I find it filthy!"
She looked him up and down, making no attempt to hide the disdain in her eyes.
Sheng Weiwei's tongue was so sharp it could scrape off a layer of plaster; her venomous tongue was on full display, even making Qing Ning next to her shrink back.
Fu Beichen's temple throbbed, but he didn't argue with her; his voice deepened.
"What happened last night was a misunderstanding. I will explain it to her personally. Could you please call Xingnian for me?"
"An explanation?" Sheng Weiwei scoffed. "If explanations were useful, what would be the point of having me, Sheng Weiwei?"
She nudged Qingning beside her with her elbow and urged, "Quick, yell at him! This scumbag is the one who bullied Niannian!"
Qingning immediately reacted and started making loud "ah ah ah" noises at Fu Beichen, her face turning bright red with anger.
She drew quickly and urgently, her fingers flying across the paper.
Sheng Weiwei, always eager for a good show, immediately began her "simultaneous interpretation."
"Did you hear me? I'm talking to you, you big stallion! You big scumbag! You black-faced devil!"
Sheng Weiwei paused, then laughed even more mischievously, "A year of preparation outside the bed, and you only last three minutes on the bed!"
Qingning was so frightened that she stretched out her hands and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to utter even a single "ah" sound.
Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Sheng Weiwei.
She didn't say that!
Fu Beichen's face was beyond black; it was practically the color of the bottom of a pot.
But he didn't want to argue with a woman like Sheng Weiwei, who had an explosive fighting spirit; it would only be asking for trouble.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the second-floor window again.
"Gu Xingnian! You're not coming down, are you? Fine, then I'll come up to you!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his muscular forearms, and it seemed he was really preparing to climb up with his bare hands.
The height of the second floor was indeed not a challenge for him.
Sheng Weiwei panicked.
"Fu Beichen! How dare you!"
"You dare climb up there! I'll call the police immediately and report you for trespassing!"
Fu Beichen completely ignored her threat, took two steps back, seemingly estimating the distance and looking for a foothold to use for a jump.
