Men like him are just too attractive to girls.
She sniffed softly, knowing in her heart what Lu Lei hadn't said aloud—for Lu Xuexue, the best outcome would be to get a marriage certificate with Gu Luo and become his legitimate wife in name and in fact.
As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time.
Lu Lei looked at his wife's reddened eyes, said nothing more, but took out another cigarette, but didn't light it.
In the darkness, the shadows of the two were stretched long by the streetlights. Compared to the bustling noise that had faded away in the distance, the silence here was filled with the worries and helplessness of parents.
Lin Ting was staring blankly at the night sky when she suddenly heard light footsteps behind her.
Lu Lei subconsciously turned his head, forgetting to flick the ash off his cigarette between his fingers—under the streetlight, Luo Liang, her eyes red-rimmed, was gently helped over by Gu Feng.
Each of them held a cigarette between their fingers, the crimson glow of the burning cigarette butts flickering in the night, their backs exuding a heaviness that seemed out of place with the end of the lively gathering.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Lu Lei narrowed his eyes, and the fingers holding the cigarette tightened slightly.
He didn't have much interaction with Luo Liang—Luoshen Group's legal department was top-notch in the industry and rarely needed to hire external lawyers, but being in the same top circle in Caizhou, he had long heard of this decisive female chairman.
At this moment, Luo Liang had lost her sharpness in the business world. The bloodshot eyes and taut jawline revealed the softness and exhaustion of being a mother.
Luo Liang and Gu Feng quickly noticed them and instinctively stopped in their tracks.
The four of them stared at each other, and the air seemed to freeze instantly, with only the distant sound of traffic and the lingering cheers from the stadium.
After an unknown period of silence, Lu Lei broke the ice, flicking his cigarette ash and forcing a polite smile.
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Gu. What a coincidence tonight, I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Your daughter and son are truly exceptional individuals, with extraordinary talents—Shu Ning's songs bring tears to people's eyes, and Xiao Luo's lyrics and music are absolutely brilliant. You won't find another person with such talent in Caizhou."
He deliberately emphasized the word "son" when he spoke.
The "private business" in these words carries a hidden agenda. Even if it's unclear whether Luo Liang and Gu Feng are legally married, in the eyes of outsiders, the two are already a unit, and Gu Luo is naturally their "son".
That wouldn't sound good if word got out.
At this moment, Ke Luoliang's mind was filled with "Is She a Mother or a Daughter?" Thinking of the debt she owed to her three daughters, she didn't understand the implied meaning at all and just nodded lightly in response.
Gu Feng didn't notice anything unusual either.
He knew that Lu Xuexue and Gu Ximan were inseparable best friends, and had long considered Lu Lei and his wife as friends. Upon hearing this, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
"You flatter me. Xuexue is also a very excellent child. She is very gentle and kind. Xiaoman often praises her at home."
As he spoke, he reached out and helped Luo Liang adjust the collar of her coat, his gesture natural and intimate.
Seeing this, Lu Lei simply stopped beating around the bush.
He took a drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out in the nearby trash can, and looked directly at Luo Liang, his tone tinged with a hint of probing:
"President Liang, I'll be frank with you—did Shu Ning and Shu He's interaction on stage just now... imply that they both like Xiao Luo?"
