Chapter 674 Two-in-One - Clearing the Area
In Gu Ximan's mind, this amount of money was enough to buy a person's life.
That's incredibly extravagant.
The transfer amount on the screen was followed by a long string of zeros, and the amount was so large that Gu Ximan felt a little dizzy.
Although the Luo family was never short of money, this young girl had never seen so much money before.
Gu Ximan couldn't understand why Sister Ling would suddenly transfer so much money to her. Could it be that she really wanted her to commit murder?
Seeing her overreacting, Luo Shuling couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to pinch Gu Luo's cheek, her tone slightly mischievous:
"Why would you want to kill anyone? You're overthinking it. Here's the money. Take Xuexue and Qingling out shopping. Buy whatever you want, but don't come back before dark, okay?"
Upon hearing this, not only Gu Ximan was stunned, but even Shen Qingling, who was quietly eating snacks, raised her eyes and looked at Luo Shuling with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Are you in such a hurry?
She just managed to evade Aunt Liu's physical examination yesterday, and today she can't wait to consummate her marriage with a man. She's a woman of action.
Gu Luo instantly understood what was going on, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. He reached out and gently patted Luo Shuling's back, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.
Lu Xuexue was also a little surprised and couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Sister Ling, what will you and Brother Gu Luo do if we go out?"
"We have our own plans," Luo Shuling said mysteriously, blinking, then urged Gu Ximan:
"Hurry up and go, don't waste time. If you don't have enough money while shopping, just tell me and I'll transfer some more to you."
Gu Ximan looked at the huge sum of money on her phone, then glanced at the undercurrent between Luo Shuling and Gu Luo, and realized what was going on. She pouted and said, "Oh~~~ so they wanted to get rid of us~~~"
Even so, she was already planning what to buy, since so much money was enough for her and Lu Xuexue to splurge.
As for Shen Qingling, well, the young lady from the capital city is not short of money.
After struggling for a moment, Gu Ximan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ling... can I be an audience member without paying...?"
These words were spoken.
Lu Xuexue: "......"
Shen Qingling: "......"
Gu Luo: "......."
No, how can this be addictive?
"Next time, next time for sure." Luo Shuling pinched Gu Ximan's cheek: "Xiaoman, be a good girl."
"Well... I have another condition."
"What?"
“It’ll cost extra.” Gu Ximan said, then stuck out her tongue. “Just kidding, see you tonight.”
After saying that, he pulled Lu Xuexue and walked outside.
Shen Qingling glanced at Gu Luo and Luo Shuling, then stood up and followed them away.
For a moment, the entire suite was left with only a man and a woman.
....... .......
....... ........
--I miss you
The footsteps of Gu Ximan and the other two had just disappeared at the end of the corridor, and the soft sound of the door closing had not yet completely faded away when Luo Shuling couldn't wait to move.
She was originally clinging to Gu Luo, but now she suddenly exerted force, using the momentum of her body to push Gu Luo backward onto the soft sofa.
The sofa cushions sag, offering just the right amount of elasticity.
Luo Shuling knelt down beside Gu Luo, leaned forward, and placed her hands on either side of Gu Luo's shoulders, firmly encircling him within her own territory.
Her gaze was fixed on Gu Luo's eyes, his image reflected in her pupils like a pool of warm spring water, filled with undisguised longing and yearning. Her voice was soft and gentle, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor:
"Brother... I miss you so much."
These were the words she almost blurted out when she met Gu Luo again at the Tianshui Grand Hotel last year.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to stand still for a moment.
They could clearly see the deep affection in each other's eyes, like intertwined vines that tightly bound their heartbeats together.
Even though they could see each other almost every day, and they had just separated a few days ago, Gu Luo's heart still clenched when he heard those words, as if something was gently squeezing it, making him feel both sore and tender.
He raised his hand and tightly embraced Luo Shuling's slender waist, which was free of any excess fat. His fingertips could clearly feel the delicate skin and firm lines of her waist. His voice was also filled with an irrepressible tenderness:
I miss you too, so much.
The two stared at each other silently for a long time without saying a word.
There were no superfluous movements, no complicated words, yet it seemed as if all the longing and love had been poured out to the other person.
The floor lamp next to the sofa cast a warm yellow light, outlining the two figures in a soft halo, and even the air was filled with a sweet and ambiguous atmosphere.
Gu Luo always preferred to be alone with Luo Shuling. Whenever she was by his side, he would feel uncontrollably happy, as if he were being gently bathed in the spring sunshine, and even his breathing would become lighter.
Looking at Luo Shuling's face so close to his, with her long eyelashes, delicate nose, and naturally pink lips, he felt more and more attracted to her.
They stared at each other for an unknown amount of time, their heartbeats quickening, the throbbing in their chests like the pounding of drums, clearly audible.
Gu Luo suppressed the surging anger and restlessness within him, his fingertips gently caressing Luo Shuling's waist as he spoke softly, his tone tinged with reminiscence:
"Do you remember the day you weren't feeling well, and I took you home and accidentally wandered into your room?"
Hearing this, Luo Shuling couldn't help but laugh, a touch of coquettishness appearing in the deep affection in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly, her nose brushing against Gu Luo's forehead, her voice tinged with a hint of reproach:
"Of course I remember, how could I not remember? You saw me naked back then, and I chased after you for a long time."
“Hmm…” Gu Luo chuckled, his eyes filled with amusement as he recalled the scene.
“I was terrified at the time, afraid that there would be a conflict between us, and I was thinking about how to explain it to you.”
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Luo Shuling with utmost seriousness, saying each word clearly:
"Lingbao, I want to tell you that my feelings for you have never stemmed from that sense of responsibility and guilt I felt that time, but... it comes from the bottom of my heart..."
He paused, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and added:
"Even without that accident, we would have ended up together anyway."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shuling was slightly taken aback, then a warm feeling welled up inside her, as if her heart had been completely melted by warm water, feeling both sweet and soft.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated and stopped.
Because that wasn't an accident; I left the door open on purpose, it was a little trick.
But at this moment, looking into Gu Luo's sincere eyes and listening to his honest confession, she suddenly felt that whether it was an accident or not didn't matter anymore.
