Chapter 136 Hiding it from her
Lu Ming suddenly stopped and the smile on his face froze instantly.
Gu Chao saw that it was her and called out, "Lulu."
Xue Nianyao looked up when she heard the voice. She was startled for a moment, as if she had been caught doing something bad. Then she calmed down and smiled at her, "Little Deer."
What little deer? Are you familiar with it?
Lu Ming pursed his lips and thought, maybe Gu Chao was downstairs, and then that woman came and they met?
Then he slowly walked up to the two of them.
Before she could speak, Gu Chao asked, "Where have you been? Why are you back just now?"
A wave of disappointment washed over me.
He didn't even know where she had gone. It turned out he wasn't really waiting for her...
Lu Ming didn't answer, but asked: "Why are you two together?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Chao hesitated to speak, feeling guilty and not daring to look her in the eyes.
Seeing this, Xue Nianyao said first, "Brother Gu saved me again today, so I came here specially to thank him."
Calling so intimately.
but......
Lu Ming frowned. "You are the daughter of the base commander. Will you encounter any danger in the base?"
Xue Nianyao laughed. "Of course not. The people in the base are very nice. It happened when I was on a mission in the village to the south. If it weren't for Brother Gu, I might have been disfigured."
Lu Ming was extremely surprised when he heard this. "On a mission? Are you leaving the base today?"
How come she doesn't know when she accepted the mission?!
Not only did he not invite her to come along, but he also didn't tell her?
He hid it from her? ?
"Yeah, didn't you know?" Xue Nianyao was also a little surprised, then she suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, because this mission was decided at the last minute this morning. Our team leader happened to meet Brother Gu and asked him if he wanted to join us. Maybe we were in a hurry and didn't have time to inform you."
"Shut up! I didn't ask you!" Lu Ming said sternly.
What do you mean I didn't have time to inform her?!
Xue Nianyao didn't know, but she did know that their communicator had a wide range, more than enough to cover this base. He still had the headset on his ear, so would it take a lot of time to call her?!
Lu Ming was not convinced by this reason. Instead, she bit her lip and looked at Gu Chao, wanting to hear his explanation.
However, he lowered his head, not looking at her, and nodded in agreement with Xue Nianyao's words, "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell you."
At this moment, Lu Ming felt a surge of sourness coming out of her heart, blocking her heart and throat, and making her face hot.
She clenched her shaking hands, lowered her head, not wanting them to see her current state, and whispered, "I know."
Not wanting to hear another word they said, she turned and left.
Gu Chao listened to the sadness she tried so hard to hide, clenched his fists, suppressed the urge to reach out and grab her, and just watched her walk quickly into the corridor.
"Brother Gu, did I say something wrong?" Xue Nian Yao asked in a low voice behind him with some uneasiness.
Gu Chao paused, took a deep breath, turned to look at Xue Nianyao, and said lightly: "It's okay, I will explain to her."
Xue Nianyao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Then I'm relieved. By the way, tomorrow, I'd like to invite all of you team members to my house for a simple meal. Is that convenient? Of course, it would be even better if others are willing to come."
Gu Chao frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. Xue Nianyao saw that he was about to refuse and smiled at him softly: "It's just a daily meal. It won't take much time."
Gu Chao finally nodded and said, "Okay. When?"
Xue Nianyao said happily, "Just arrive at 5pm. That's settled then. I'll be leaving first."
Gu Chao nodded lightly, watched her go away, and then walked back.
As soon as he entered the corridor, his face immediately turned cold and his eyes flickered.
He hurried back to the seventh floor, walked in, glanced at the living room, and didn't see the person he was looking for, so he went straight to Lu Ming's room.
"Lulu."
He knocked on the door, "I want to talk to you."
There was no response from inside.
He knocked persistently for a long time, but there was still no sound from the door.
"Sister Lu is on the balcony."
Xiaoyue was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore and told Gu Chao through the door.
"Thanks."
When he heard this, he hurried to the balcony again.
As the footsteps outside the door faded away, Aze inside knew that someone must have informed on him.
He glared at Xiaoyue: "What are you doing! My sister said you can't tell him."
Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you know? They're having a quarrel, and it's Sister Lulu who's unhappy. Can you bear to see her suffer?"
Aze snorted heavily, "Little traitor!"
Xiaoyue was not to be outdone, "Big idiot!"
The two of them started cursing at each other.
balcony.
When Lu Ming heard the sound of the front door, he angrily hid himself to the side of the balcony and lay on the balcony wall looking outside.
He had no idea that she was in danger in the base, but instead saved other women outside.
And that Xue Nianyao, why does she always need to be rescued? Why would she go on a mission when she's so weak? She's just causing trouble. Doesn't she have any self-awareness?!
After feeling depressed for a long time, I finally heard familiar footsteps behind me.
"Lulu?"
The man walked up to her side and called her cautiously.
Lu Ming turned his head to the other side and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Gu Chao followed her to the other side, lowered his head and asked her, "Are you angry?"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes, looked off into the distance, and said unhappily, "Why should I be angry? You're the captain, you can do whatever you want. It's none of my business."
Gu Chao quickly retorted: "That's not the case. Of course you have the right to be angry. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
After hearing his apology, Lu Ming turned to face him, hands on hips, and said angrily, "Then tell me why you went out on the mission. Not only did you not let me go, but you also didn't tell me in the first place? Don't say you're too late."
However, Gu Chao just said: "I have a reason."
"Then tell me, what's the reason?"
Gu Chao pursed his lips and said, "I can't tell you now. But I promise you will know soon."
"Really?" Lu Ming asked doubtfully, letting out a breath and frowning.
What needs to be hidden from her, and what's the time limit?
Gu Chao nodded heavily, "Trust me, okay?"
Lu Ming pouted, "Okay, then I'll wait for your explanation."
"There's one more thing I want to tell you."
"What?"
"Well... tomorrow we are going to that woman's house for dinner." Gu Chao's voice was a little low.
It’s better to tell her now than for her to find out from others later.
"What?! You still want to go out for dinner? How long have you known her, and you're already so close to her?" Lu Ming got angry again.
She crossed her arms and said, "Okay, I want to see what delicacies she can conjure up."
"You can't go." Gu Chao frowned.
Lu Ming looked at him in disbelief, "Why?! You guys can't even eat in public?"
"Of course not. We have things to do, and I'll explain everything to you when it's all over."
This sentence again!
Gu Chao's explanation did not convince her. Lu Ming did not calm down, but became even angrier.
She turned around and said, "Whatever you want!" Then she went back to her room.
Gu Chao behind him sighed.
