Gu Fanyan understood perfectly what his purpose was.
He just didn't say anything, and she pretended not to know.
Suddenly, Lu Dongjue's phone rang. He answered, "Grandpa?"
Grandpa Lu's slightly anxious voice came from the other end: "Yun'er has been in the bathroom for more than 10 minutes and hasn't come back yet. She's not answering her phone. I don't know if something's wrong..."
"Oh, I understand." Lu Dongjue replied calmly and hung up the phone.
Gu Fanyan was already in front of her.
"Dongjue, are you alright?" Her eyes were full of concern.
"It's nothing," Lu Dongjue replied, turning to stub out his cigarette.
Gu Fanyan's slender hand covered his, touching his hard knuckles, "Dongjue, you rarely smoke..."
During their time abroad, he almost never touched a cigarette.
But now, he always spends time alone, and when he is alone, he likes to light a cigarette.
"Is it because it's late in the year?" Gu Fanyan's gentle eyes held a hint of stubbornness; she was going to delve into this topic today.
"no."
"I hope not. Shouldn't love make two people better? But all she brings you is pain, whether it's physical or emotional."
"Didn't you say there was something wrong at home? I'll take you home." He changed the subject.
"Dongjue, don't run away. If you still consider me your girlfriend, then let me finish what I have to say."
Just then, Lu Dongjue's phone rang again; it was his grandfather calling.
Gu Fanyan had no choice but to turn her head; she couldn't refuse her grandfather's call.
Lu Dongjue answered the phone, "Grandpa..."
"Yun'er is missing! I've had people search the entire teahouse..."
"I understand." He hung up the phone before his grandfather could finish speaking.
She looked up and met Gu Fanyan's mocking and sneer. She heard her grandfather's voice.
"I really didn't expect Suiwan to be so good at causing trouble. What is she trying to do? Is she trying to take you away from me?"
“Dongjue, you know me. I never play tricks, but if Suiwan doesn’t give me face, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.”
Gu Fanyan uttered the harshest words, yet tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
Lu Dongjue's face showed apology, "Nothing of the sort, don't overthink it. I'll take you home."
After saying that, he strode forward.
"Hey," Gu Fanyan called out to him, "I'm crying! As my boyfriend, are you just going to walk away like this?"
Lu Dongjue was stunned, unsure of what to do.
Images from the past flashed through his mind: when Yun Suiwan shed tears, he would always pull her into his arms without thinking...
But he couldn't bring himself to have those thoughts about Gu Fanyan.
“Get in the car,” he said after thinking for a moment. “There are tissues in the car.”
Gu Fanyan stared at his figure. It turned out that in his eyes, she was only worth a few tissues from him.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she achieves her goal.
She wiped away her tears, put on her usual understanding and poised demeanor, and caught up with Lu Dongjue.
“Dongjue, don’t be upset about these little things,” she said “magnanimously.” “My mom said that several uncles are coming over for dinner tonight. They are doing well in business abroad. She wants to introduce you to them.”
Lu Dongjue stopped by the car and opened the driver's side door for her: "Let's go home first."
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly, turned around and got into the car, but her expression suddenly froze.
Why is there suddenly a driver in the driver's seat?
"Take Miss Gu home," Lu Dongjue's voice rang out.
“Yes, Mr. Lu,” the driver replied.
Before Gu Fanyan could speak, she felt a push on her shoulder and was put into the car.
Then the car door was closed.
The driver then started the car.
Gu Fanyan turned around and saw Lu Dongjue walking back through the car window.
Ha, no matter how much you pretend to be indifferent on the surface, you still can't let go in your heart.
...
Yun Wanqing searched the teahouse thoroughly, but couldn't find Yun Suiwan.
strangeness.
Yun Suiwan's condition was clearly not right; she must have been tricked by her. How come she has disappeared?
Through the back window of the restroom, Yun Wanqing discovered that there was a narrow alley behind the teahouse.
She immediately went downstairs and chased after him.
As soon as she entered the back alley, her entire body tensed with excitement. The air in the alley was filled with Yun Suiwan's signature perfume.
Yun Suiwan did try to run away, but she didn't get far and hid nearby.
She kicked away several obstructions with a "bang," but Yun Suiwan was nowhere to be seen.
"Yun Suiwan, stop hiding. You must be feeling unwell. I'll take you to the hospital." She started to get agitated.
She never dreamed that Yun Suiwan was hiding in a corner on the second floor of the teahouse, watching her every move with a mocking smile.
Even if Yun Wanqing turned the back alley upside down, she still couldn't find her.
The fruit platter served by the waiter may or may not have had any problems, but Yun Suiwan was not affected.
Her discomfort was feigned; she just wanted to see what Yun Wanqing was up to and who was behind Yun Wanqing.
Yun Wanqing searched for a while longer and gradually calmed down. She realized that making too much noise would be bad.
Grandpa Lu is no pushover either.
She made a phone call: "Hello, I've taken her down, but she's hiding now. Grandpa Lu's men are also in the teahouse, so I can't make too much of a commotion."
She did make the call, and the person on the other end must be the mastermind behind it all.
Yun Suiwan listened intently, trying to figure out who the other person was.
Suddenly, she felt her vision blur and saw a figure appear beside Yun Wanqing.
Yun Wanqing was listening to the phone when she suddenly felt her hand go empty; the phone was gone.
When she turned her head, she almost lost her breath.
Lu Dongjue suddenly appeared out of nowhere, snatched her phone, and put it to his own ear.
“Lu Dongjue…” A chill ran through her.
The call was abruptly cut off.
Lu Dongjue's face immediately darkened; he could almost hear the other person's voice.
Yun Wanqing forced a smile, suppressing her fear: "Dong... Brother Dongjue, what brings you here..."
"Where is Yun Suiwan?" Lu Dongjue cut straight to the point, not bothering with any pleasantries.
“Yun Suiwan…” Yun Wanqing looked puzzled. “I don’t know, I… ah…”
Lu Dongjue grabbed her neck with one hand. "Where is Yun Suiwan?" His fingers were like cold, hard iron bars; with a little force, he could snap her slender neck.
"I...I really don't know..." Yun Wanqing was filled with hatred and fear, and tears streamed down her face.
She had never seen Lu Dongjue like this before, like a demon from hell. "Brother Dongjue, I...I'm Qingqing..."
Can he really bring himself to kill?
"I'll ask you one last time, where is Yun Suiwan?" His icy voice made her realize that he was ruthless enough to harm Yun Suiwan.
“Lu Dongjue!” Yun Suiwan stepped out from the exit.
