Following the sound, everyone looked behind Lu Huan.
The girls opposite them all turned pale and instinctively took a few steps back, as if they had seen a demon.
Is it really that scary?
Lu Huan immediately recognized Gu Zhendong's voice and turned to look at Gu Zhendong striding towards her.
The man's face was cold, his thick, handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, so cold that no one dared to approach him.
He looks fierce, but surely not fierce enough to scare people like this?
Aren't they overacting a bit?
Even if a good-looking person is fierce, they are still pleasing to the eye.
When Lu Huan saw Gu Zhendong, her bright eyes lit up with joy, and she turned around and smiled at him.
Gu Zhendong became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, his beautiful appearance stunning everyone present.
Several girls who came to cause trouble recognized Gu Zhendong and were quite wary of his identity. They dared not act recklessly and, after exchanging glances, did not even dare to greet him before fleeing in a sorry state.
Gu Zhendong's good looks are undeniable.
But the terrible rumors about him are also frightening.
Lu Huan was lucky enough to escape this ordeal.
Gu Zhendong walked up to her in a few steps, looked down at Lu Huan sitting on the sofa, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. "They want to bully you?"
Lu Huan shrugged, her meaning clear: "I was pretty bad before I lost my memory. I often bullied them, and now I'm getting my comeuppance. After they found out I wasn't the Lu family's daughter, they decided to gang up on me and bully me."
In the original story, the original owner was unhappy that Ye Sangsang was showing off in front of everyone, so she made a scene, causing Lu Zhong to lose face. Lu Zhong ignored her, and the original owner ended up being ridiculed by everyone.
But now, Lu Huan has done nothing wrong, and these people, having heard the news from somewhere, have come to her specifically to kick her when she's down.
The little girl in front of me smiled brightly, her sparkling eyes looking at me with such kindness that it melted my heart.
Gu Zhendong couldn't imagine what she was like when she used to bully others.
Lu Huan is now his medicine, so naturally he has to protect his medicine and not let anyone bully it.
Even though she had bullied others first, Gu Zhendong wouldn't allow his medicine to suffer the slightest injustice. The man's eyes turned icy. "You want me to bully them back for you?"
Should we help her get back at her?
Lu Huan was dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"
"I'll repay you double." The man was serious; his deep eyes seemed to already know how to deal with those girls.
Lu Huan doesn't have a good temper; if someone provokes her, she'll provoke them back.
If we had actually started fighting, who knows who would have come out worse!
Moreover, before they could even make a move, Gu Zhendong appeared in time to rescue them.
Lu Huan shook her head vigorously, "...No need, they didn't bully me!"
Once Gu Zhendong makes his move, those girls will likely suffer a terrible fate.
Let's not do it. Using Gu Zhendong's methods to deal with those girls would be a waste of time.
Fearing that Gu Zhendong was still dwelling on this issue, Lu Huan quickly changed his mind and asked, "By the way, Mr. Gu, what brings you here?"
This is just too much of a coincidence!
She was in danger when Gu Zhendong happened to arrive at the scene and rescued her.
This is practically a pre-planned hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario.
"Didn't you tell me that?"
"Um?"
"You sent me a message saying you were sitting on the sofa in the rest area."
Lu Huan had sent him several messages, but before she could get a reply, trouble came knocking.
After being reminded by the man, Lu Huan picked up her phone and glanced at it. Gu Zhendong had replied to her message a few minutes earlier.
So, he didn't receive any news from me, which is why he specifically came out to look for me?
Does this also mean that Gu Zhendong cares about him a little bit?
Wait! Stop!
Lu Huan, stop having such terrible thoughts!
Gu Zhendong is impossible...
"Does it still hurt?"
Just as Lu Huan was trying her best to tell herself that Gu Zhendong could never fall in love with anyone else, a gentle male voice suddenly appeared in her ear.
The man's voice was very deep, and unlike his usual cold tone, it had become much gentler.
My heart was easily stirred, and a restless excitement began to stir within me.
Lu Huan subconsciously looked up and met the man's cold eyes. She asked blankly, "What?"
"Didn't you say your feet hurt?"
Gu Zhendong stretched out his hand towards her, palm facing upwards, gesturing for Lu Huan to place her hand on top.
My dull gaze slowly moved down, from his face to his palm. For a fleeting moment, I had the illusion that Gu Zhendong was a gentle man.
Lu Huan, who is always talkative, sent several WeChat messages to Gu Zhendong, also mentioning that her foot was hurting.
But at this moment, when Lu Huan faced Gu Zhendong, her mind went blank, and she had long forgotten what she had said.
Lu Huan hesitated, unsure whether she should reach out her hand.
Gu Zhendong didn't think too much about it and directly grabbed Lu Huan's hand.
The man looked pale and thin, but his palms were very hot. As soon as Lu Huan touched his palms, he felt as if he had been electrocuted and his whole body shuddered.
Gu Zhendong asked again, "Can you still walk?"
The man's hands were large, perfectly enveloping her small hands, and Lu Huan's heart pounded even harder, completely out of control.
Her cheeks flushed involuntarily. Lu Huan bit her lower lip and shyly hummed, "Yes."
"Tell me if it hurts."
Lu Huan looked up at him and said, "Okay!"
Gu Zhendong's lounge is not far from the rest area; you can reach it by walking through this corridor.
Throughout the journey, Gu Zhendong never let go of Lu Huan's hand.
Lu Huan wanted to remind him that it wasn't necessary, but she was too embarrassed to bring it up. Her gaze fell on their clasped hands, her eyes filled with shyness.
On one hand, I couldn't help but secretly despise my own lack of ambition, while on the other hand, I screamed like a groundhog!
Aaaaaah!
Her hands finally got what they deserved; she held a man's hand!
The usually talkative Lu Huan was unusually quiet and reserved.
Gu Zhendong led Lu Huan into his lounge. Upon hearing the noise, Kong Xun hurriedly turned to look at the door.
The boss glanced at his phone and left, not knowing where he was going, and forbade him to follow.
He paced anxiously in the lounge. Gu Zhendong's headache had flared up again, and Kong Xun was worried that he would suddenly fall into a coma like last time.
"Mr. Gu, where have you been!"
As soon as Kong Xun asked the question, he saw Lu Huan following behind his boss.
Lu Huan stood obediently behind Gu Zhendong like a well-behaved little wife, her fair cheeks flushed like peach blossoms.
Hearing Kong Xun's voice, Lu Huan blushed and tried to break free from Gu Zhendong's hand, but she didn't expect Gu Zhendong to hold it so tightly.
Lu Huan's cheeks seemed a few degrees hotter than she had imagined. She peeked out from behind Gu Zhendong and greeted Kong Xun with a smile, "Secretary Kong, hello!"
Kong Xun was shocked. No wonder President Gu didn't allow him to go with him; it turned out he was going to find Lu Huan.
Wait, it seems he missed some important information!
My gaze shifted downwards, and my pupils dilated dramatically!
Holy crap!
What did he see?!
Mr. Gu was actually holding Miss Lu Huan's hand?
This is just... like the sun rose in the west today!
Kong Xun was a very perceptive person. He quickly and warmly greeted Miss Lu and left the lounge, leaving the two of them alone.
Once everyone left, only the two of them remained in the quiet lounge.
Gu Zhendong hesitated to let go of her hand, and Lu Huan's cheeks burned, her eyes darting around unsure of where to look.
Although she wanted to hold hands with handsome men more often, she would feel embarrassed if she did it all the time.
They're at most friends now, what kind of friends hold hands like this and never let go!
Lu Huan cleared her throat, raised her watery eyes, and said, "Um, Mr. Gu, shouldn't you let go?"
As she continued speaking, her voice grew softer and softer, almost like a mosquito's hum.
After Lu Huan's "reminder," Gu Zhendong seemed to realize that he was still holding the young girl's hand.
In the past, Gu Zhendong would never let a woman get close, let alone hold her hand.
However, after actually holding hands, Gu Zhendong felt that this was completely different from what he had imagined.
I never knew a woman's hands could be so soft. Then I remembered the image of Lu Huan petting the cat; her fingers were slender, yet so soft.
Gu Zhendong coughed lightly, suppressing the desire in his eyes, and released her hand. "Sit down."
Wearing high heels for too long was really too much for Lu Huan, so she sat down without any hesitation and immediately felt much more comfortable.
The atmosphere was too quiet, and the two stared at each other in silence for a few moments.
Just as Gu Zhendong was thinking about how to get Lu Huan to speak, the little woman on the opposite sofa took the initiative to speak.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, where's my birthday present?"
The two of them sat there without saying a word, and the atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
Lu Huan's palms were still burning hot as she looked at the man with expectant eyes.
This is her real business; she's here to ask for her birthday present!
Gu Zhendong brought over a square black velvet box and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. "Open it and take a look."
The box doesn't look big or thick, so it probably doesn't contain a lot of RMB.
As long as it's not in RMB, everything else is negotiable!
Lu Huan opened the box with great anticipation, only to be shocked by the gift inside.
She looked up at the man opposite her, her eyes wide with shock. "Is this a birthday present from you, Mr. Gu?... Did you get the wrong one?"
What Gu Zhendong gave was none other than a ruby necklace.
Even though she didn't understand the prices of gemstones, one glance at the ruby showed it was about the size of a quail egg, its color as red as pigeon blood, and the light it refracted was dazzling.
The ruby is surrounded by diamonds, which will definitely make it even more expensive.
Gu Zhendong made a special trip to the auction before coming here to bid for it.
Seeing that Lu Huan's expression wasn't as happy as he'd expected, but rather a little cautious, he asked, "You don't like it?"
Surely no one could dislike such a beautiful ruby!
Lu Huan shook her head. "I like it, but it must be very expensive. Mr. Gu, it's too extravagant of you to give it to me as a birthday present!"
She really didn't dare accept such an expensive gift.
"It's alright, not too expensive."
Gu Zhendong said it casually, as if the ruby necklace was really not worth much money.
If Kong Xun outside the door heard this, he would surely be so anxious he'd vomit blood.
Lu Huan looked at him with a skeptical expression, "Really?"
"It's just a little money." Gu Zhendong looked at her. "If you don't want it, just throw it away!"
He never took back what he gave away.
Lu Huan: ...
