Lu Huan was completely oblivious to the change in the man's gaze and continued to analyze the situation with him with great interest.
Do you think Lu Sangsang might be jealous of me?
"But that doesn't make sense either. She's the only daughter of the Lu family now, she's so popular at school, and I've already given Chu Jun back to her. What else does she have to be jealous of me?"
"..."
After thinking it over and over, I really don't understand what I have to be jealous of, but I was indeed pushed down by her.
"Honey, you said..."
Just as Lu Huan was about to ask Gu Zhendong for his opinion, she noticed that the man's gaze was a little strange.
Following Gu Zhendong's gaze, her eyes fell on her calf. The hand that was originally holding her ankle had unknowingly moved up quite a bit, almost to the danger zone.
Lu Huan suddenly realized what was happening, hurriedly pulled her leg back, and stammered, "Husband?
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Gu Zhendong looked up at her. Everything seemed normal on his face, but his hand was gripping Lu Huan's calf tightly, applying slight pressure.
Lu Huan was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.
Seriously? He's actually thinking about that kind of thing right now?!
"Honey, did you hear what I just said clearly?"
"Listen carefully!"
"..."
You're lying! Your eyes clearly show that I didn't hear a thing!
With such a terrifying gaze, Lu Huan wanted to escape, but her calf was grabbed by someone, making it impossible for her to run away.
Lu Huan asked matter-of-factly, "Then tell me, what did I just say?"
Gu Zhendong leaned down, getting closer and closer to her. "I bet she's jealous that you married me!"
"What?!"
Lu Huan didn't immediately understand what he said. Her gaze fell on the man's thin lips as he approached, and her heart skipped a beat. Before she could recover, a passionate kiss landed on her lips.
From gentleness to insatiable ferocity, it's almost unbearable.
Lu Huan was exhausted and powerless, but she still had the energy to curse Gu Zhendong as inhuman, feeling so wronged that she just wanted to cry.
Unfortunately, all the tears I had shed earlier had been used up, and now my eyes were terribly red, but I couldn't shed a single tear.
After Gu Zhendong had eaten and drunk his fill, he gently coaxed the little girl, but Lu Huan, taking advantage of his kindness, became even more spoiled. "You can sleep in the study tonight!"
She's so angry!
They don't even spare a single injured person!
Gu Zhendong's eyes narrowed, and he gripped Lu Huan's hand tightly, his palm burning. "You still have the energy to argue with me? Looks like I was too gentle with you just now!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huan immediately cowered, curling up obediently under the covers and shrinking into a ball.
Gu Zhendong couldn't help but chuckle; he was so easily frightened.
It was almost 11 o'clock when Yan Rong and the other two returned from the Ming family. The first thing they did was check on Lu Huan's injuries.
Lu Huan had just drunk some water and fallen asleep when Gu Zhendong came to open the door. "What's wrong?"
"What else could it be but to check on Huanhuan's injury? Is it serious?"
Yan Rong was filled with worry and wanted to go in to check on Lu Huan's injuries, but Gu Zhendong's tall figure blocked the doorway, completely blocking her way.
"Why are you blocking my way!" Yan Rong exclaimed anxiously. "Get out of my way!"
Anxious people are anxious to death, while calm people show no expression at all.
Gu Zhendong calmly replied, "Mom, she's already asleep, and there's nothing seriously wrong with her!"
Lu Huan is asleep now, but even if she weren't asleep, she's in such a terrible state that she's not presentable to anyone.
Gu Zhendong's possessiveness was terrifyingly strong. Even though the person in front of him was his mother, he did not want Yan Rong to see Lu Huan's body.
With a few words, he pushed Yan Rong back. Yan Rong was furious. How could she have given birth to such a stingy son who wouldn't even let her look at him?
Well, my son doesn't look too serious, so I guess my daughter-in-law is probably alright.
The next day, Lu Huan still had to go to school.
She woke up on her own before Gu Zhendong could wake her today. She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, then suddenly remembered to look for the gauze wrapped around her foot last night, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
Where did I put it last night?
After thinking it over carefully, it seemed that last night, in order to prove that her ankle was not injured, she tore off the gauze and showed it to Gu Zhendong in the car.
When they got off the bus, they probably didn't take the gauze back with them!
Gu Zhendong had just finished exercising and was covered in sweat.
When I returned, I saw Lu Huan staring blankly. "What's wrong?"
"You've come at the right time! Quickly, find me some gauze; I need to wrap my foot!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhendong nodded in confusion, "Weren't you uninjured?"
"Sigh, I was just putting on an act in front of Lu Sangsang!" Lu Huan said with absolute certainty, "She'll probably be very happy to see me unable to walk, and she'll be convinced that I can't host the school anniversary celebration!"
"I'll let her be happy for a while, and then on the school anniversary, I'll say my leg is healed, so she'll be disappointed. I bet she'll look really happy then!"
As he spoke, Lu Huan was already looking forward to seeing Lu Sangsang's expression that day; he estimated it would be quite a sight.
Gu Zhendong found some gauze and handed it to her. When he came out after taking a shower, Lu Huan had already wrapped her ankle up like a ball.
"Are you sure this won't be obvious to others?" This is wrapped up too big; anyone can tell it's fake at a glance.
Lu Huan glanced at her ankle, which seemed a bit exaggerated. "It's okay, just say it's swollen again today!"
Gu Zhendong: ...
With her arm wrapped in gauze, Lu Huan could barely walk, let alone put on shoes. After a few hopping steps, Gu Zhendong couldn't bear to watch any longer and carried Lu Huan downstairs.
Yan Rong had initially thought Lu Huan's foot was fine, but upon closer inspection, she realized he couldn't even walk. With a worried expression, she questioned Gu Zhendong, "Didn't you say it was nothing serious? What happened?"
Gu Zhendong, his face dark, placed Lu Huan on a chair. "Go ask her yourself!"
Yan Rong squatted down. "Huanhuan, does your foot hurt? If you can't stand it, we'll go to the hospital again. Look how swollen it is!"
Concern cloudes judgment, and Yan Rong failed to see through the deception.
Lu Huan raised an eyebrow at Gu Zhendong triumphantly, "I told you, no one could tell!"
Gu Zhendong's lips twitched. Yan Rong noticed that the couple's expressions were off and sensed something was amiss. "What does this mean?"
Lu Huan chuckled: "Mom, don't worry, I was just pretending!"
"Pretending?" Yan Rong was even more confused. "Why would she pretend to be injured? What happened?"
In front of Yan Rong, Lu Huan dared not embellish the story and told her everything in detail.
Yan Rong was utterly shocked. "How could your sister do such a thing!"
Yan Rong had met Lu Sangsang once, and her impression of the girl was that she was gentle and quiet. She never expected that Lu Sangsang would do such a thing.
Yan Rong was furious about this and told Lu Huan to stay as far away from Lu Sangsang as possible in the future.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law wasn't pregnant yet. If she had been pregnant and Lu Sangsang had pushed her down the stairs, it might have resulted in the death of both mother and child.
Just thinking about that scene gave Yan Rong goosebumps.
In fact, with one leg wrapped in gauze, walking was very difficult, and in order to prevent others from realizing that she was faking it, she had to use a cane.
Gu Zhendong said, "Since things have already come to this, why not just take two days off and skip school!"
"But I..."
Yan Rong shared the same thought and chimed in, "Yes, we're worried about you hopping around like that. What if you really fall?"
You can't always be this lucky!
"I……"
"Mom is right, she's an elder, you should listen to her!"
"Today, I..."
Yan Rong then said, "Or do you not even listen to your mother and want me to call Grandpa out?"
Lu Huan: ...
If Grandpa gets involved, things will become even more complicated.
Lu Huan had no choice but to listen to the mother and son and obediently asked for leave.
Since I've already taken leave, there's no need to pretend to be injured anymore.
Lu Huan had the bandages removed and finally regained her freedom of movement.
She was so bored at home that Gu Zhendong said he would take her to work at the company.
Lu Huan's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this, "Can I come along?" But then she thought, "But won't I disturb your work?"
"Won't."
He was more than happy to have Lu Huan under his watchful eye at all times, so how could he possibly give up such a good opportunity?
Lu Huan followed Gu Zhendong to the company, and Yan Rong watched them leave with a smile.
As she turned around, the gentle smile faded from her face, and she immediately called her future mother-in-law to arrange a meeting and a meal.
Yan Rong seems like an easy person to get along with, but that's not actually the case.
Gu Zhendong's protective nature comes from Yan Rong. Now that Lu Huan has become his daughter-in-law, she is a member of the Gu family. How could he tolerate his own family being bullied?
He immediately arranged to meet Guo Yi. At first, they had a friendly chat and drank some flower tea. But soon they got down to business, and he told Guo Yi to go back and give Lu Sangsang a good talking-to.
"Although Huanhuan isn't your biological daughter, you still raised her yourself, so there's bound to be some mother-daughter bond between you. Both are precious to you, and you can't just abandon the other side for the sake of the first!"
Guo Yi's face turned pale instantly, but she couldn't refute Yan Rong's words, so she could only nod repeatedly in agreement, "I will go back and give Sangsang a good talking-to. Is Huanhuan alright?"
The story of Lu Huan's injury needs to be exaggerated so that the Lu family will learn their lesson.
Yan Rong stared wide-eyed. "How can she be alright? Her foot is so swollen she can't walk. She hasn't been able to go to school for the past two days. Seeing her like that breaks my heart!"
Yan Rong's words conveyed the same message: if the Lu family doesn't care about Lu Huan, then the Gu family does.
Over the past few days, she has grown to love Lu Huan more and more, and basically treats her like a daughter, fulfilling a dream she had when she was young.
Guo Yi smiled awkwardly, "You're joking. Huanhuan is my biological daughter, of course I spoil her."
"That would be the best!"
Yan Rong changed the subject, but Guo Yi had no interest in it at all. She held the teacup in her hands and stroked the warm porcelain cup.
A cup of flower tea, by the end, leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.
Guo Yi was initially heartbroken that her biological daughter had been slapped by Lu Zhong, but when she thought of Yan Rong's words today, she felt as if she had been slapped herself, her face burning with embarrassment.
