☆, Chapter 32 You are my hopeless lover hidden under great friendship
Lin Yuan nodded. He had thought that President Fu was really so engrossed in his love that he had no interest in worldly affairs.
Thank goodness.
"Lee, is there any possibility that you should come out of retirement?" the woman on the other end of the phone sobbed.
Li Muli touched the back of her neck guiltily, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Lee, think about how long it's been since you last contacted us. Do you even remember?"
Do you still remember Gu Shi and me, waiting anxiously on the other side of the ocean?
"Lee, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Li Muli recalled that she studied fashion design in college. In her second year, she met Meng Ruo and Gu Shi by chance, and the three of them started a studio together.
The joint venture between the young master of the Gu family and the young lady of the Meng family was met with great enthusiasm almost immediately upon its launch.
She was responsible for designing the blueprints behind the scenes.
In the second semester of her junior year, when she turned twenty, the two of them went abroad together.
I remember in my past life, the two of them returned to China when she was twenty-three, and their company grew bigger and bigger.
And Lee's name became increasingly popular as she grew.
Twenty-five years old has almost become a limitation.
But very few people know that she is Lee.
As expected, Meng Ruo's voice rang out, "Lee, Gu Shi and I are going back to China the day after tomorrow, don't forget!"
"Received, received"
"Let me talk to Mu Li," a male voice said from the other end.
"No way, I'll do it myself."
"Give it to me!" Gu Shi stepped forward to grab the phone. In the struggle, she accidentally touched Meng Ruo's soft chest, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her body.
Gu Shi, oblivious to the fact, still grinned carefree, "I got it, didn't I, you little rascal?"
Li Muli was all smiles; the two of them were still the same bickering couple as always.
They happen to be so close, almost like one person.
The bond between childhood sweethearts flows gently and enduringly.
"Mu Li, don't forget to come pick me up," Gu Shi said smugly.
Li Muli rolled her eyes. "You can get lost now."
"Li Muli, you don't care anymore, do you? You have someone else outside, don't you? You don't love me anymore, do you?"
Li Muli raised an eyebrow and shrugged, "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do."
"Scumbag woman"
Get lost!
...
Gu Shi kept chattering and joking around, completely unaware of the dimming eyes of the girl next to him.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shi saw Meng Ruo sitting quietly beside him. He stared at her suspiciously, looking her left and right, feeling that something was amiss.
"Little Ruoruo, did you suddenly realize how handsome I am? Heh, you've fallen in love with me?" Gu Shi lifted Meng Ruo's chin and winked at her.
Meng Ruo shoved the man's large hand away, cursed, and ran out.
The remaining father-in-law of Gu Shi was completely baffled.
That's weird.
But looking at the return ticket, I was still overjoyed.
I wonder how that stupid girl Li Muli has been these past two years. She's heartless and doesn't contact them much anymore.
Meng Ruo pursed her lips as she ran out, casually walking down the street and enjoying the breeze.
The three of them are very good friends. She is responsible for being well-behaved and cute, Li Muli can switch between being quirky and dignified with ease, and Gu Shi is responsible for being silly and cute.
If you're truly friends, then at least you should have an open and honest heart.
But she wasn't honest; she liked him.
He didn't know.
She had also wondered if Gu Shi liked Li Muli, but she had also denied it. His carefree and irresponsible attitude often made it difficult for her to understand him.
He would occasionally tease and flirt with her.
But it could be someone else.
They could be friends, brothers, sisters, best friends—any kind of relationship.
Aside from lovers.
He was her hopeless lover, hidden beneath a great friendship.
Everyone says, how could you not feel anything when leaning against a campfire?
She always stayed by his side without hesitation. Didn't he feel anything?
She wasn't brave; she didn't dare to speak up. She was afraid that if she said something, things would change, and she wouldn't even be able to remain friends.
At least they're both single, so there's always hope.
After calming herself down, Meng Ruo called Gu Shi, "A Shi, I'm at the riverside fence, come pick me up."
"What were you doing running off to?" Gu Shi asked breathlessly.
"Let the wind blow"
"Wait, I'm coming to find you."
Meng Ruo smiled, sometimes whether he liked her or not wasn't that important, at least she was very important to him.
A few minutes later, the man's figure appeared. Meng Ruo smiled and waved to the man, who ran over.
"What's wrong all of a sudden?" Gu Shi stared at her.
She suddenly ran away in a strange way and didn't come back for a long time. He called her but no one answered. He went to several places he frequented to look for her.
"It reminded me of the days when the three of us played together. Lili hasn't been around for the past two years."
“We can play together again when we get back,” Gu Shi said gently, reaching out to move the hair that was blocking the girl’s eyes.
Meng Ruo raised her fist, "Touch me again, and I'll chop off your claws!"
"No, Ruoruo, why have you become more and more fierce after being abroad for two years?" Gu Shi resumed her usual frivolous manner.
Meng Ruo tossed her hair and winked at the man, "Is it possible that you're becoming more and more two-armed?"
Gu Shi reached out and ruffled her hair forcefully, "It's my fault for choosing friends poorly."
"Go back in time and tell Xiao Gu Shi, whatever you do, don't try to get Xiao Meng Ruo out, she'll repay kindness with enmity," Meng Ruo stuck out her tongue.
After ruffling her hair, the man started pinching her cheeks, saying, "Go ahead and report it, you little rascal."
"open"
"Not letting go"
"I'm going to kick you, Gu Shi."
You weren't this fierce when you asked me to pick you up.
"Then go back now."
"Then I have to bring you along too, my ancestor," Gu Shi said helplessly.
Meng Ruo raised her chin, a haughty look on her face, and said, "Little Shizi, carry me back."
Gu Shi looked incredulous and said disdainfully, "I won't carry you, you're heavy."
Despite saying that, he resignedly bowed and said, "Come on, ancestor."
Meng Ruo pounced on him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said happily, "Let's go, Xiao Shizi."
"Grandpa, lose some weight," Gu Shi said, lifting the girl on his back.
Meng Ruo's eyes darted around, and she mischievously patted the man's buttocks. "Little Shizi, are you feeling unwell?"
The man visibly swayed, but steadied himself. "Meng Ruo, calm down."
The softness on her back and the fleeting touch on her buttocks made Gu Shi feel a burning sensation.
Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law.
These are family members, family members we grew up with. We can't have any ulterior motives.
Gu Shi, one should not be too beastly.
He must have been too restrained lately.
Seeing that the man's expression wasn't good, Meng Ruo poked his back, "You're wrong, A-Shi."
"Behave yourself"
"Okay," Meng Ruo obediently lay on his back.
After sending the person back, Gu Shi fled from Meng Ruo with lightning speed, as if something was chasing him.
He needs to calm down.
Something's not right. Something's not right. How could I have had designs on that little girl Meng Ruo just now?
I just want to go back and see Mu Li as soon as possible.
Gu Shi took a sip of cold water, trying to hide the turmoil in her heart.
The little girl must never know what beasts are thinking.
Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to think about him.
