Gu Zhendong frowned. He didn't think the two were a good match either. Zhang Yang was not worthy of Lu Huan at all.
He rubbed Lu Huan's calf with a little force, his body emanating a strong smell of jealousy. "I heard you two rehearsed together every day, chatting and laughing. I'm afraid you've developed feelings for each other over time!"
Lu Huan finally understood why Gu Zhendong had been wearing a gloomy face backstage; it turned out he was really jealous and angry because of her.
Realizing her husband was on the verge of anger, Lu Huan quickly explained, "How could I possibly develop feelings for my senior? They must be talking nonsense! Honey, you have to believe me, the person I love is you, I could never fall for someone else!"
Not only do you have to explain, but you also have to show your true feelings to the man in order to win over Gu Zhendong.
What kind of people are spouting nonsense in front of Gu Zhendong!
Gu Zhendong snorted coldly and squeezed her hand hard, which meant that Lu Huan had coaxed him.
It was getting late, and Lu Huan's stomach was growling loudly.
Gu Zhendong said he would take her out to eat, and Lu Huan didn't ask any questions. She changed into her own clothes and went with him.
She hadn't gone far when someone called her name.
Lu Huan turned around and saw Xin Yue excitedly waving at her while pulling Chu Han along, followed by a large group of people.
Xin Yue was excited and proud; she was genuinely happy for Lu Huan.
"Lu, congratulations! I watched your hosting today, it was absolutely amazing! I'm sure you'll be a star tomorrow after tonight!"
Yu Ting clicked her tongue, "What are you so happy about? You're acting like you're the host!"
"Hey, what are you saying? Junior Lu is from our club, so I'm happy for her, okay?"
Lu Huan smiled broadly, "Alright, I know you're all happy for me, thank you!"
"By the way, there are a lot of people here today, let's grab a meal together!"
"Have a meal?"
Lu Huan subconsciously looked at Gu Zhendong beside her, her eyes asking if he wanted to have dinner together.
Xin Yue was so excited that she forgot Gu Zhendong was standing next to her. It took her a while to realize it. "Ahem, Mr. Gu, would you like to have dinner together?"
Gu Zhendong originally planned to take Lu Huan to the banquet, but Lu Huan would feel uncomfortable eating with those people, so it would be better for her to go with her friends.
The man nodded. "Okay!"
Gu Zhendong immediately instructed Kong Xun to book a luxurious private room at the hotel.
On the way, they encountered Shen Fei, who was late.
Shen Fei dressed casually as always, wearing a baseball cap to cover his messy hair.
If Shen Fei hadn't come forward, none of them would have recognized him.
His clothes were quite casual, but the bouquet of flowers in his hand was very eye-catching, attracting the attention of many people along the way.
Shen Fei was late because he had been at the flower shop for too long.
"Congratulations, Sister Lu!"
Shen Fei raised his head, revealing a bright and lively smile under the brim of his hat, and handed over the flowers in his hand.
Shen Fei handed out the flowers in front of everyone, so many people curiously peeked over.
Lu Huan, the person involved, was also stunned for a moment, looking at the flowers in front of her, at a loss for what to do.
What is Shen Fei trying to do? Didn't she see that her husband is still right next to her?
Sending flowers in public is just asking for misunderstandings!
Lu Huan subconsciously looked up at the man beside her, and sure enough, Gu Zhendong's face, which had finally brightened, darkened again. He raised his eyebrows slightly at her, his eyes seeming to say: I want to see if you dare to accept these flowers.
No man would be happy to see another man giving his wife flowers.
Especially this guy named Shen Fei. Don't let his innocent appearance fool you; his eyes always reveal a restless nature. He must have ulterior motives towards Lu Huan.
Shen Fei spoke up at the opportune moment, her eyes even showing a hint of grievance as she looked at Lu Huan, "Does Sister Lu not like these flowers? I spent a long time choosing them at the flower shop."
Lu Huan: ...Hey! Hey!
She almost knelt down and begged Shen Fei to shut up. With so many people watching, his aggrieved look would make anyone who didn't know better think she was the one who dumped him!
This isn't someone bringing her flowers; they're practically pushing her into a fire pit!
Lu Huan was extremely anxious. If she accepted the flowers, Gu Zhendong would definitely be even angrier. If she didn't accept the flowers, who knew what Shen Fei might do next.
Despite being the youngest among Lu Sangsang's suitors, Shen Fei is actually the one who stirs up the most trouble.
My head is throbbing terribly. Isn't this something that should be a headache for the female lead, Lu Sangsang? Why did it fall on my head?
Lu Huan turned around and looked to the people behind her for help.
He blinked frantically at them: What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and save me!
The sisters should have made their appearance at this moment!
The cold aura emanating from Gu Zhendong was too strong, and Yan Shi and the others had long forgotten about their sisterly affection, all avoiding Lu Huan's pleading gaze.
There was nothing they could do; they simply didn't dare offend Gu Zhendong!
Lu Huan was furious when her pleas for help went unanswered. All those sweet words she used to call her "sweetie" were just a lie.
Lu Huan turned around and chuckled dryly, never expecting to encounter such a chaotic situation.
Shen Fei called out "Sister Lu" again, sounding aggrieved. Lu Huan snapped out of her reverie, "No, I really like this flower..."
Upon hearing her words, Shen Fei smiled happily, "Then please accept it, Sister Lu, otherwise I will be very sad."
You'll be sad, and I'll be in even worse shape!
Shen Fei acted as if he was about to cry if you didn't accept it, which made it impossible for anyone to refuse.
Where did he learn his "green tea mantra" from? It's truly amazing.
Lu Huan steeled herself and subconsciously reached out to take the flowers, but she could feel even more clearly that the man beside her had grown colder.
Forget it, I'll just go back and coax Gu Zhendong properly. The immediate goal is to prevent Shen Fei from causing any more trouble.
Before Lu Huan's hand could even touch the flower, Gu Zhendong grabbed her wrist first.
Lu Huan looked up at him in surprise. Just when she thought Gu Zhendong would turn hostile, the man took the bouquet of flowers from Shen Fei's hands and smiled slightly. "She's a little tired, let me hold it for her."
Shen Fei: ...
Lu Huan looked at him with starry eyes; in this crucial moment, she knew she still had to rely on her husband.
Gu Zhendong's words were not wrong, and even though Shen Fei was unwilling, he had no choice but to force a smile.
"By the way, to thank Mr. Shen for saving my wife last time, I think we should go together sometime, Mr. Shen?"
Even if Gu Zhendong hadn't said that, Shen Fei was going to have dinner with him anyway.
However, the person who was invited was Gu Zhendong, which made him feel uneasy.
Shen Fei readily agreed, "Okay."
Lu Huan: ...
Either Gu Zhendong has lost his mind, or Shen Fei is mentally ill; why would they want to eat together?
Lu Huan secretly tugged at the man's sleeve, and Gu Zhendong gave her a look that said, "You better stay put, I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
She was so wronged. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet she was still being yelled at by the man.
＊
Once Gu Zhendong has made a decision, he rarely changes his mind.
Even Lu Huan couldn't help this time.
The two sat in the car, the bouquet of flowers that Shen Fei had given them still placed beside them, and the car was filled with a fragrant aroma.
Gu Zhendong grabbed Lu Huan's hand. "What, you don't want to give me an explanation?"
He waited for so long, but Lu Huan didn't say a word, and even dared to stare blankly at the flowers someone else had given him in front of her.
"Um?"
Is he pursuing you?
The "he" here naturally refers to Shen Fei.
Lu Huan shook his head vigorously, "Of course not!"
Shen Fei likes the female lead, Lu Sangsang, so how could he possibly pursue her!
But ever since she transmigrated into the book, everything has deviated drastically from the original plot, and she's unsure if Shen Fei will still like Lu Sangsang.
No! Since he watched tonight's performance, he should have seen Lu Sangsang. Why did he send me flowers? Could it be that he really likes me?
No, no!
Since she met Shen Fei, he has only called her "Sister Lu," no different from how he treats others. If he were pursuing her, how could she not see it?
Lu Huan did a lot of self-analysis. Gu Zhendong saw that she was very distracted and must be thinking about things related to Shen Fei, so he became even more jealous.
He squeezed Lu Huan's wrist hard, and the latter came back to his senses. "Then how do you explain him giving you flowers?"
"This..." She hadn't expected Shen Fei to suddenly send flowers, but she dared not say this to Gu Zhendong. She rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of a reasonable explanation: "It's probably because I, as his older sister, am quite good to him, so he specially sent me flowers."
"elder sister?"
Lu Huan nodded vigorously, "Yes, he always calls me Sister Lu, so he treats me like an older sister, doesn't he?"
Gu Zhendong: ...That makes a lot of sense.
＊
The group arrived at the restaurant quickly.
Shen Fei stayed with Xin Yue. He looked towards Lu Huan and saw that Lu Huan hadn't taken the flowers he had given her. His eyes darkened slightly.
However, given that man's personality, there's no way he'd let Lu Huan touch the flowers he gave her.
Kong Xun was meticulous and had ordered the dishes in advance, so they could be served as soon as they entered.
Lu Huan's biggest worry was that Gu Zhendong and Shen Fei would clash.
Surprisingly, the two men got along remarkably well, and Gu Zhendong even earnestly thanked Shen Fei for saving Lu Huan.
Shen Fei smiled and said, "This is what I should do, isn't it, Sister Lu?"
The two were having a nice chat, so why did he suddenly bring her up again?
Gu Zhendong frowned almost imperceptibly, then turned to look at her. Lu Huan chuckled, "Thank you so much."
＊
Meanwhile, the banquet soon began.
The principal waited and waited, but Gu Zhendong and his wife never arrived. Instead, Kong Xun called to apologize after making the arrangements, saying that Gu Zhendong had something urgent to attend to and that he would personally invite him to dinner another day.
Chu Jun was standing nearby at the time, and after hearing what was said, he scoffed coldly.
The banquet was almost over, and Chu Jun had lost interest. Just as he was about to go home, he received a call from Chu Han.
Gu Zhendong treated everyone to dinner that evening, and everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content. It was a rare occasion for a group of people to get together, and inevitably some drank too much.
Lu Huan used Chu Han's phone to call Chu Jun and ask him to come pick her up. Meanwhile, Gu Zhendong called Fu Hanshen. As for Xin Yue and Shen Fei, they seemed to be in good condition and could reply on their own.
