Who is the sugar daddy?
"Who else could it be but you!"
Without thinking, Lu Huan said, "Last time they only saw Secretary Kong's back and said that he was an old and ugly man who was keeping me as a mistress. Now that they've seen you with their own eyes, who knows how jealous they'll be of me!"
Actually, Kong Xun isn't bad-looking, but they've made him seem old and ugly because of their sourness.
I wonder how they'll still be able to call white black after seeing Gu Zhendong's stunningly handsome appearance with their own eyes.
A sugar daddy?
Gu Zhendong remembered this incident and wondered what kind of eyes those people had that made them think that someone like Kong Xun was Lu Huan's sugar daddy.
Kong Xun looks very rich?
Thinking about the past few days, Kong Xun's clothes seem to have become much more luxurious than before, and his attire has become more flamboyant. It's normal for others to mistake him for someone else.
It seems like it's time to cut employee salaries!
Kong Xun, who was left at the company to work overtime, had no idea that he was facing the terrible prospect of having his salary cut.
Gu Zhendong strongly dislikes others discussing his people or things as gossip; he is extremely protective of his own.
Once someone is labeled by him, he will never allow them to suffer even the slightest injustice.
Gu Zhendong said in a deep voice, "I will handle this matter."
"Huh?"
Lu Huan, unaware that someone had already domineeringly labeled her, stared at the man in astonishment, "It's such a small matter..."
She knew Gu Zhendong had the ability, but it was such a small matter, there was really no need to trouble this big shot!
The discussion will only last a few days, and once the hype dies down, everyone will naturally forget about her.
"Kong Xun will handle it!"
Okay, small things don't need to be handled by the big boss himself; his underlings can take care of them.
Lu Huan changed the subject, asking with great interest, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
The only decent food in the school cafeteria was the braised pork; the rest was terrible. She ate two pieces of meat at lunch, but she still wasn't full.
The mere mention of food makes my stomach rumble even louder.
"What would you like to eat?" Gu Zhendong asked in return.
"I want to eat hot pot!" Lu Huan answered without hesitation.
I want to eat duck blood, hot pot beef, tripe...
Gu Zhendong had already instructed Kong Xun to reserve a private room at the same restaurant as last time. Seeing her eyes light up when she mentioned hot pot, his heart softened, and he agreed, saying, "Okay, let's have hot pot!"
Lu Huan cheered, "Mr. Gu, you are such a kind person!"
She hadn't had hot pot in a long time since she transmigrated.
Even now, Lu Huan still addresses himself as "Mr. Gu" and "you" repeatedly, which makes Gu Zhendong frown slightly, as it makes their relationship seem particularly distant.
Gu Zhendong reminded him, "You can call me by my name!"
"Did you call me by your name?"
Lu Huan tilted her head to look at him, a strand of hair falling from behind her ear and obscuring her eyes as she moved.
Gu Zhendong couldn't stand messiness. Looking at Lu Huan's hair, he reached out without thinking and tucked it behind her ears. "Don't call me 'you' either, it sounds too unfamiliar."
“I’m pursuing you, and I hope you can call me by my first name… for now, let’s just be ordinary friends,” Gu Zhendong said after a pause.
Gu Zhendong gently stroked her hair, his fingertips carrying a hint of warmth, and accidentally touched her ear.
As if it were contagious, my ears quickly became hot, and my fair and delicate ears gradually turned pink, eventually becoming as tempting as a ripe red apple.
Not only her ears, but also her cheeks, became hot.
This man was always subtly flirting with her, yet she remained completely oblivious.
Lu Huan was embarrassed and annoyed by her own lack of composure, her heart racing at the slightest provocation. She let out a frustrated "Oh," raised her shy eyes to look at him, and cautiously called out, "Gu Zhendong?"
Gu Zhendong hummed in agreement, his brows relaxing as if pleased by her address.
Lu Huan glanced at his face. Was he really that happy?
It was just a name!
Lu Huan personally chose the hot pot restaurant, and when selecting the soup base, she even asked Gu Zhendong's opinion. Men rarely eat these kinds of things, and he said everything was fine as she pleased. How wonderful it is to have a man who so indulges you!
Oh wait, he's not her man yet!
She quickly put that idea out of her mind and excitedly ordered a whole bunch of food.
In fact, Gu Zhendong doesn't seem to be someone who can handle spicy food very well; he's actually better at it than she is.
Lu Huan ate until her face was flushed, and she could barely eat anymore before she put down her chopsticks.
After dinner, Gu Zhendong took her home.
As they approached the Lu family residence, Gu Zhendong suddenly asked, "When do you plan to move out of the Lu family?"
This matter should have been brought up last night.
However, Lu Huan was so flustered by the man's confession that she didn't think about this matter at all.
Lu Huan said, "It should be in the next day or two. Why are you asking me this?"
"It's nothing, just asking. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help," Gu Zhendong said.
It's just moving out of the Lu family's house, is there anything we can help with?
It's estimated that the Lu family is actually hoping she'll move out of the Lu family home as soon as possible, especially Ye Sangsang.
Lu Huan confidently declared, "No need, I can handle it myself!"
Lu Family
Lu Zhong got off work early today, and it was a rare occasion for him to have dinner with his family.
With one person missing from the table, Lu Zhong casually asked, "Where did Huanhuan go? Did she go out to play again?"
When Lu Huan is mentioned, Lu Zhong's impression of her is that she spends all her time fooling around.
He used to tolerate it because she was his own daughter, but now, Lu Zhong's face was full of anger.
Ye Sangsang put down her chopsticks, glancing at Lu Zhong with a hesitant look, which made Lu Zhong even angrier. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Tell me, where did she go today!"
"No, Dad, you've misunderstood!" Ye Sangsang quickly said, "My sister went to dinner with Mr. Gu today!"
Is it Gu Zhendong?
Lu Zhong's pupils dilated instantly, and he seemed somewhat incredulous. His voice rose at the end, "Which Mr. Gu is it?"
Ye Sangsang said, "It's Mr. Gu who came to the birthday party last night."
It really was him!
Lu Zhong was both surprised and delighted; he had truly not raised this daughter in vain.
He immediately acted as if nothing had happened, waving his hand dismissively and telling everyone to continue eating.
Lu Zhong's change in attitude was so obvious that it was impossible not to notice.
Ye Sangsang lowered her eyes, chewing slowly, her thoughts drifting away.
She recalled being surprised by Gu Zhendong when she first met him last night.
The thought of the man's cold gaze when he looked at her at dusk sent chills down her spine.
She felt a sharp, uncomfortable pain in her chest, as if a needle had been stuck in it. She was clearly more outstanding than Lu Huan, so why did that man care so much about Lu Huan?
Lu Zhong had someone keep an eye on the door, and to notify him immediately if there was any movement.
Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped at the door, Lu Zhong had already received the message and rushed over.
As soon as Lu Huan got out of the car, she saw Lu Zhong and Guo Yi, and after a moment of surprise, she called out, "Mom and Dad."
What are they doing here?
The next second, Lu Huan knew the answer.
Clearly, they were after Gu Zhendong inside the car.
"Huanhuan, I heard from Sangsang that you had dinner with President Gu tonight?"
Lu Zhong was getting on in years, and his smile was etched with wrinkles. As he asked the question, his gaze swept into the car.
Before Lu Huan could return, she heard Lu Zhong scolding her, "You child, President Gu brought you back, why didn't you invite him in for a cup of tea?"
Lu Zhong's intentions were too obvious; Lu Huan couldn't help but understand them.
Indeed, although Gu Zhendong is the main villain in the original book, his wealth and power are undeniable, and people flock to him to curry favor.
"No need, Mr. Gu..."
They ate a lot of hot pot tonight, and their stomachs were so full that they couldn't possibly drink any tea.
Before she could finish speaking, the man inside the car made a move, and Gu Zhendong got out of the car.
What is he doing out here?
Gu Zhendong glanced at Lu Huan, who was subtly winking at him, and said to Lu Zhong, "I'm actually a little thirsty."
The maid brought over the brewed tea, and Lu Zhong immediately offered his services, saying, "Mr. Gu, please have a taste."
In the celadon cup, tea leaves float on the surface of the hot water, sending up wisps of white steam.
Having invited everyone to his home, how could Lu Huan not understand what Lu Zhong meant?
She sat quietly to the side, secretly taking out her phone to send a message to Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong sat up straight, feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket. He glanced at Lu Huan, who looked anxious and kept giving him meaningful looks. He knew without looking that the message must have been sent by her.
He gave him a reassuring look and then casually dealt with Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong mentioned a few things about the company, but Gu Zhendong casually brushed them off, and Lu Zhong realized that Gu Zhendong wasn't in the mood to talk about cooperation today.
Having been in the business world for so many years, Lu Zhong was like a seasoned veteran, and he started talking to Gu Zhendong about other things.
After finishing his tea, Gu Zhendong should have gone back by now.
But once he sat down there, he clearly had no intention of leaving.
Lu Zhong hesitated for a long time, unable to figure out what Gu Zhendong meant. Did he want to leave or stay?
It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of Gu Zhendong's gaze falling on Lu Huan's face that he suddenly understood and hurriedly pulled Lu Huan aside, saying, "You child, why are you so quiet? Chat with President Gu more."
"..."
Lu Huan, who was suddenly dragged out to be a conscript, was speechless. Who was it that was chattering on and on? Did she even have a chance to get a word in edgewise?
Now, even if you ask her to speak, she doesn't have anything to say!
Gu Zhendong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "May I see Gun Gun?"
"Gun Gun" refers to the cat that Lu Huan keeps. Lu Huan didn't have a chance to refute it, so Lu Zhong agreed on her behalf.
However, Lu Zhong didn't even know what a rolling ball was.
"Roll around in my room."
Without hesitation, Lu Zhong said, "That's perfect. You can let President Gu go to your room to see Gun Gun."
After Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong went upstairs, Lu Zhongcai turned to his wife and asked, "What is 'Gungun'?"
"It's a stray cat that Huanhuan picked up a few days ago."
Guo Yi glanced at the two people who had already gone upstairs, feeling a little uneasy. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to leave them in the same room?"
"What's wrong with that? Aren't they dating?"
Guo Yi gasped in surprise, "How could this be? Huanhuan has always liked Chu Jun!"
Lu Huan (shaking her head frantically): No, no, no, he's pursuing me one-sidedly. I haven't agreed to anything yet. Gu Zhendong: ...
Kong Xun: Waaaaah, boss, my salary...
Gu Zhendong: My year-end bonus is gone this year.
