Gu Momo interrupted Director Chen with a light laugh, and helped Old Master Rong up, "Mr. Rong, I have something to attend to, so I'll have to leave for now. Please drive carefully."
With that, she gave a slight bow to Old Master Rong, then turned and left deftly.
As Li Zhanting watched Gu Momo leave, he smiled and bowed to Old Master Rong. His expression was gentle. "Mr. Rong, I will visit the Rong family again when I have time another day."
Seeing Li Zhanting about to leave, Old Master Rong's eyes and brows were filled with a strong sense of scrutiny. He smiled and pulled Li Zhanting back, "Little Ting, how is it? Do you still remember what I told you before?"
Li Zhanting raised an eyebrow casually; he naturally knew what Old Master Rong was referring to.
The Rong family doesn't have a granddaughter yet, but Old Master Rong is always thinking about arranging a marriage between him and the Rong family.
Li Zhanting's handsome face was radiant with a gentle smile. He was respectful to Old Master Rong, yet he maintained his noble and elegant demeanor. "Old Master Rong, there's no need for that. I have someone I love in my heart, and I cannot presume to marry into the Rong family."
After saying that, he quickly took long strides and quickened his pace to chase after Gu Momo in the direction she had left.
Grandpa Rong watched Li Zhanting's hurried departure, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
Hey kid, you shouldn't say that so soon!
No! He needs to go back to the Rong family right now and get to the bottom of this!
At this moment, the night had gradually deepened. Li Zhanting gazed at Gu Momo's graceful figure from afar, his dark eyes growing increasingly intense.
The city's neon lights cast a dazzling halo on her slender figure, making her delicate frame appear even more frail.
Even so, her aloof demeanor seemed to forever conceal her unique cool and noble air.
A deep, dark light shone in Li Zhanting's eyes. At first, he only thought Gu Momo had a powerful background, but now, besides admiring her, he felt a strange pang of heartache.
Most girls her age are still immersed in the bubble of love.
So, how much suffering did she endure to transform from such a seemingly frail young girl into such a cold and powerful woman?
The night wind was a bit chilly, and Gu Momo couldn't help but shiver. She wasn't paying attention to her footing and almost fell off the crystal stairs.
Li Zhanting abruptly snapped out of his deep thought. His heart leaped, and he rushed forward, carefully supporting Gu Momo's wrists with both hands. "Be careful, the ground is slippery."
A deep masculine aura enveloped her from behind, and the man's gentle hand landed on her cold skin, making Gu Momo's heart tremble.
She subtly withdrew her hand from Li Zhanting's, a faint smile on her cool face. "If Mr. Ting has nothing else to do, please go back and take care of Zixiao and Ling'er for now. I have something to do tonight and need to go back to my own home."
As she spoke, she reminded him, "By the way, Mr. Ting, don't forget to take the kids to kindergarten tomorrow."
She didn't turn her head, and walked faster and faster into the night wind!
Watching her resolute departure, Li Zhanting frowned. He was still somewhat uneasy and made a phone call to his subordinate.
"She's going back. Send someone to protect her secretly on the way, and be careful not to let her find out."
Gu Momo hurriedly hailed a taxi by the roadside, closed the car door in a state of agitation, and looked at him with a heartbroken coldness in her eyes.
So what does his concern for her mean now?
Five years ago, when that thing happened between them, she did tell him her name was Liuli.
Laymen may not know what "liuli" means, but she truly entrusted her life to him at that time.
Moreover, she was afraid he wouldn't know the importance of the name Liuli, so before leaving she wrote a note explaining it, which included her real name and address. She even slipped the note into his hand so he wouldn't miss it.
But she didn't wait for him.
While she was imprisoned in the Gu family, living a life of utter darkness, she never saw him again...
He seemed to have realized it, but she no longer needed him.
One day, she will take her babies and leave this city that has caused her so much pain!
Late at night, at the Rong family home!
As a renowned and powerful family in the capital, the Rong family has a deep-rooted foundation. The former patriarch of the Rong family was a business tycoon in the capital. Even though the patriarch of the Rong family is old, the Rong family can still be ranked as one of the four major families in the capital thanks to its profound foundation.
As soon as Old Master Rong returned to the Rong family, he hurriedly gave the Divine Pearl Grass to Old Madam Rong according to the instructions.
Madam Rong's aged face was somewhat haggard, probably due to the torment of cancer. Even so, Mr. Rong still spent a lot of time every day personally dressing and washing her face, cherishing Madam Rong as if she were his own life.
Seeing how busy Mr. Rong was, Madam Rong felt extremely distressed. "Oh, old man, don't bother. It's just death, isn't it? Everyone dies eventually, right?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Rong immediately threw down the towel and huffed, "What do you mean by 'die'? You're not allowed to die!"
"Have you forgotten our agreement? If you die, I'll die with you! It's already a regret enough that we weren't born together, and now you want to leave me alone in this world? How cruel are you? I don't care, you have to live!"
Grandma Rong was speechless. Who doesn't want to live?
Isn't this already a path to certain death?
Suddenly, Grandpa Rong remembered something and perked up immediately, "That's right, old woman! You can't die! If you die, you might never see our beloved granddaughter again!"
