Chapter 171: It’s Time to Return a Favor
Ning Mingluo sat down on the chair and naturally took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by Gu Xiucheng. He asked puzzledly, "Who are you meeting?"
Gu Xiucheng sat next to him: "Have you seen the news about Xingqi?"
Ning Mingluo nodded: "I see, it's been a big fuss these past two days. They probably won't be able to make a comeback. Thank you for your hard work." Even if Gu Xiucheng had the ability, it would take a lot of effort for him to overthrow such a behemoth.
Everything Xingqi did crossed the legal line. In the past, many victims just swallowed their anger because there was no evidence. But now it is different. With Huangchao's support, all the contracts, photos, and evidence have been leaked. They still want to deny it, but that is impossible.
"Well, I did this. Several other companies associated with that person have fallen into a similar situation. However, those companies are not entertainment companies, so they didn't make the entertainment news. And the person who hurt you is now where he belongs."
Ning Mingluo actually forgot to eat for a moment. He looked at Gu Xiucheng in surprise: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me a word about it?"
He thought that Gu Xiucheng would tell him before taking action so that he could be mentally prepared, but now Gu Xiucheng did everything silently without him noticing.
"What's the point of telling you these filthy things? You just need to know the outcome. The person who hurt you will never be able to escape again, and will be punished. He will experience the pain you've endured a thousand times over."
A person who has done so many bad things is now facing the punishment he deserves.
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng in front of him for a while, then suddenly reached out and hugged him.
"Don't make it sound so easy. That person's identity and strength are not simple. You must have put in a lot of effort. At a time like this, you should repay the favor instead of making light of it. Do you know how much I feel for you?"
As much as Gu Xiucheng regretted his past, he regretted everything Gu Xiucheng did to avenge him.
These were the sufferings that he should have borne, but now Gu Xiucheng had to bear them for him.
Gu Xiucheng raised his eyebrows: "Repaying a favor? Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered something."
Ning Mingluo was still immersed in his previous thoughts and couldn't come to his senses for a moment. He asked confusedly, "What's the matter?"
Gu Xiucheng moved closer to Ning Mingluo and asked, "When you first approached me, was it because you wanted me to help you?"
Ning Mingluo's expression changed, and a guilty look flashed in his eyes. When he met Gu Xiucheng's gaze, he seemed a little lacking in confidence.
He pinched Gu Xiucheng's clothes: "At that time, I was..."
Under Gu Xiucheng's gaze, Ning Mingluo finally gave in and confessed everything.
"At the beginning, I had no way out in Xingqi. I knew someone was against me. If it was an ordinary person, they might not be able to help me. You happened to appear, so I could only..." Ning Mingluo paused and said, "Don't be angry. I didn't think too much at the beginning. I just wanted to get out of Xingqi's quagmire first, and then make plans."
Seeing Ning Mingluo's face getting redder as he spoke, Gu Xiucheng finally couldn't bear to bully him and hugged him a little tighter.
"So is it true that you like me?"
Ning Mingluo nodded immediately: "Of course, even if I want revenge and want to borrow your power, I will never cheat on you. I won't do such a thing."
Gu Xiucheng sighed, "Luckily, I'm still somewhat useful to you, otherwise I really wouldn't have caught your eye."
These words made Ning Mingluo's heart beat faster again.
"No, that's not what I meant. Even if you have no power or influence, I like you because I like you. Feelings can't be forced."
Ning Mingluo's anxious explanation made Gu Xiucheng laugh.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Power and wealth, these are all things I possess. They are my added charm. I'm very glad that it's because of these that you've set your sights on me. Fortunately, I have some good qualities. Otherwise, based on my reputation, it would have been difficult for you to come to me. Were you afraid when you first faced me?"
Gu Xiucheng was of course very aware of the messages about himself, but he had never cared about them before. Instead, he was happy that those people were afraid of him, because that way no one would come to cause trouble in front of him.
But rumors can affect people's judgment, and I don't know what Luoluo was thinking at the beginning.
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng's superior features and laughed, "Don't be afraid. You are just a paper tiger in front of me."
He discovered the first time they met that Gu Xiucheng liked him and couldn't do anything to him. This thought made him excited for a long time.
"Paper tiger?" Gu Xiucheng raised his eyebrows.
Ning Mingluo blinked. "Well, you can't do anything to me if I act like a spoiled child. Besides, no boss would take care of every aspect of their employees' affairs. I mistakenly thought you liked me, but you rejected my confession."
Bringing up the past, Ning Mingluo suddenly became confident and said, "You don't know how sad I was when you rejected me!"
Gu Xiucheng touched his nose: "Wrong."
He chose to admit his mistake decisively and mentioned what happened in the past. He said that he did not do well enough. If he was given another chance, he would pursue this person well from the first meeting, and then take him into his own territory and let him live a carefree life.
Ning Mingluo pinched Gu Xiucheng's face: "How can you admit your mistake so quickly?" This left him with no room to maneuver.
"I have no shame in front of my wife." If he continues to bring up old matters and insists on doing so, he can forget about sleeping in the bedroom.
Ning Mingluo naturally didn't want to bring up the past, but when she thought about the time when the two of them first met, she felt sweet in her heart.
This person didn't understand his own feelings at the time, but he was still willing to protect him, which made him feel very happy.
Ning Mingluo gently grabbed Gu Xiucheng's tie with her fingers, and their noses touched.
"So now you want me to repay you?"
The beauty has said so much. If Gu Xiucheng can still hold back at this point, he will no longer be Gu Xiucheng.
Ning Mingluo was particularly passionate tonight. The sword hanging over his head was completely resolved by his lover, and he could only express his emotions through this kind of thing.
Ning Mingluo was so charming that night that Gu Xiucheng couldn't bear to stop and spent the night very happily.
Fortunately, he took a day off the next day, so Ning Mingluo rested the whole morning.
Gu Xiucheng didn't go to the company either. He stayed at home with Ning Mingluo to pick out some things.
It's about some supplies for their wedding.
They still have a lot of time and are not in a hurry to hold the wedding, but they have already started preparing. They have to personally review everything and select it carefully.
Gu Xiucheng attaches great importance to this wedding, which is the only one in his life.
Ning Mingluo stayed by Gu Xiucheng's side, chatting with him from time to time, discussing the venue or the decorative patterns, and the intimacy between the two was fully revealed.
Ning Mingluo looked for a while and felt a little sleepy again. The consequences of indulgence made Ning Mingluo very distressed.
Seeing Gu Xiucheng so relaxed and contented, with a look of obvious satisfaction between his brows, Ning Mingluo felt his teeth itching.
Unable to hold back, she reached out and pinched Gu Xiucheng's waist.
Gu Xiucheng tilted his head to look at him: "What's wrong, are you bored?"
Ning Mingluo felt that her previous little action was a bit too pretentious when she was asked so gently by Gu Xiucheng.
"No."
Gu Xiucheng seemed to have seen through Ning Mingluo's thoughts: "Is your waist still sore? Let me rub it for you."
Ning Mingluo no longer explained her childish behavior, but concentrated on enjoying Gu Xiucheng's care and feeling his caring gaze.
"You can't indulge me like this in the future."
Gu Xiucheng leaned close to Ning Mingluo's lips and gently pressed against hers. "You look like that, do you think I can resist you? Are you too confident in me, or are you too unaware of your own charm?"
Ning Mingluo's cheeks flushed. Gu Xiucheng was a man of few words, but every time he spoke to him, the lingering affection in his eyes and the indulgence in his words made his heart beat fast.
With Gu Xiucheng's caring care, Ning Mingluo no longer felt any discomfort when he went out in the afternoon and felt full of energy again.
"Who are we going to see?"
Gu Xiucheng drove the car himself and did not call the driver, but they were about to meet someone, and Gu Xiucheng still had no intention of telling him. Ning Mingluo was a little curious.
Gu Xiucheng curled the corners of his lips, continuing to pique Ning Mingluo's curiosity.
"If you don't tell me, I'll think about it myself."
He doesn't have many friends. As for Gu Xiucheng's friends, most of them are people in the business world and are completely on a different level from him, so there is no particular need to meet them.
Who else could it be?
Ning Mingluo thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up. He would see her soon anyway.
Gu Xiucheng glanced at Ning Mingluo's expression, knew that he had given up, and turned on the music in the car.
Finally the car stopped in front of a villa.
The villa is not particularly large, but the plants in the courtyard are well maintained and the whole villa is very quiet, suitable for recuperation.
I heard the noise outside and someone came to open the door.
"Mr. Gu." The person who opened the door called out respectfully after seeing Gu Xiucheng.
Ning Mingluo raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this was Gu Xiucheng's property and the person was also hired by Gu Xiucheng.
Gu Xiucheng took Ning Mingluo's hand and walked into the room.
The living room was spacious and bright, but Ning Mingluo had no time to look at the decoration here. All her attention was on the man on the sofa.
The man was a little thin, with a thin blanket covering his legs, and the book in his hand had been placed aside.
But these were not what surprised Ning Mingluo the most. What surprised him was the man's face.
With the careful care of the nurses these days and a good mood, Ning Feng's complexion is no longer as pale as it was at the beginning. Instead, it looks a little rosy, and the charm between his eyebrows and eyes has also recovered a little.
Ning Mingluo felt that the two people now looked at least 50% alike.
This person's identity is about to be revealed.
Ning Mingluo took a deep breath and turned to look at Gu Xiucheng, who nodded, confirming his idea.
The person on the sofa originally thought that Gu Xiucheng came alone, but when he saw the person next to Gu Xiucheng, he also froze on the sofa.
Before Ning Mingluo was born, he had imagined countless times what his child would look like. Perhaps he would be soft and cute, or perhaps he would be strong and manly. However, those ideas were far less shocking than actually seeing this person standing in front of him.
This is his son, the person he looked forward to most when he was young and energetic.
Ning Mingluo looked at the excitement gradually filling the man's eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, I could only say two words.
"Hello."
