Chapter 70: Sudden Arrival
"It's okay, cousin. Please take good care of Sister Lin Yuan. I will go somewhere else during the holidays. It's a good opportunity to relax."
"Yeah, have fun."
"You too, don't worry, it's hard work taking care of someone, see you later~" Xu Ruochu said with an indifferent attitude and hung up the phone.
She doesn't care who Gu Yixiao is taking care of now, as long as it doesn't affect her investigation.
As soon as she put down her phone, a young man wearing sunglasses sat down in the seat next to her. Before she could see him clearly, the man suddenly greeted her.
"Xiaochu."
She was slightly startled, raised her eyes, and her clear eyes met those deep dark eyes.
It’s… Huo Ran.
"Aran? Why are you here?" She greeted with a surprised smile.
"I heard from my cousin Ran Ran that you were going abroad on business alone, and she was worried, so she asked me to come with you... I thought, as a friend, I should also protect you."
Huo Ran said this, waving the plane ticket in his hand and taking off his sunglasses. His gentle and handsome face showed a bit of sunshine and cheerful temperament.
"After all, Thailand is indeed the most chaotic and unsafe country. It's not convenient for you three girls to go there together, so I'll accompany you~"
Xu Ruochu pursed his lips gratefully.
"Thank you, I'm so glad you can come along! But isn't your medical school busy? I'm sorry about what happened last time!"
Last time at the KTV, after she was suddenly taken away by Gu Yixiao, she felt very sorry for him. He was clearly the one accompanying her, but in the end, she was the one who left first. She never saw him again after that night.
But it was also because he was busy at school and didn't have extra time to go out. But this time, when he heard that she had something to do, he rushed over immediately, which was really touching.
Just like... her other two good friends, who always care about her silently.
This third friend: Huo Ran, it was really worth making friends with him!
"What's the big deal? It's not a big deal, and I've forgotten about it. You don't need to apologize~"
Huo Ran raised his eyebrows.
She nodded and responded with a smile. "Well, thank you!"
"We're friends, you're welcome," Huo Ran said, his lips curled up in a warm smile. "Xiao Chu, remember you promised to teach me how to swim? Just don't forget this."
"Remember, remember~ Don't worry, I'll never forget! I'll definitely teach you when I have time."
“…”
Not far away, there was a senior employee of Gu's company who was on vacation. Seeing Xu Ruchu talking so happily with a strange man, he mistakenly thought that they were in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and couldn't help but think of flattering his boss.
So, he took out his cell phone, quietly took photos, started sending them, and then sent congratulations to Gu Yixiao.
[Congratulations, Mr. Gu! Not only do you have such an outstanding fiancée in Miss Lin, but your sister also has a partner as handsome and sunny as him! It's truly a double blessing, so much to celebrate!]
After sending the message, he put away his phone.
He didn't go over to say hello because few people knew that the girl was the stepdaughter of the Gu family, and few people mentioned her. She was also a very low-key, introverted and shy person, so most employees didn't know what the girl looked like.
I only found out about it when I accidentally saw the family photo of Vice President Gu Leiting during a meeting one day.
Now, it is even more inconvenient for him to go over and disturb them.
Xu Ruochu and Huo Ran chatted for a while, and when they saw that it was time to check in, they took their boarding passes and walked into the security checkpoint. They were completely unaware of the fact that they had just been secretly photographed.
Then I boarded the plane smoothly and found my seat.
Soon, the plane slowly took off.
At this moment, it was late in the evening, the night fell over the entire city, and the streets were brightly lit with neon lights.
Soon, the plane disappeared quickly into the sky.
Gu Yixiao stayed in the hospital until evening and left after having dinner with Lin Yuan.
In order to report to Lin's parents and grandmother, he could only do this temporarily.
As soon as he left the inpatient department and got into the car, before even starting the car, he couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and prepare to call Xu Ruchu to ask her what she was doing.
But as soon as I turned on the screen, I saw a message from my subordinate...
In an instant, his expression changed!
A photo jumped into his eyes. In the photo, Xu Ruochu and Huo Ran were talking about something and smiling happily. The background was the airport lobby.
His fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.
Haha, going out to play...actually going out alone with the opposite sex?
He quickly called Xu Ruochu.
As expected, it is powered off.
Gu Yixiao's anger was rising. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the car away from the hospital towards the airport.
Xu Ruochu, you dare to lie? Wait.
…
After a five-hour journey, we finally arrived in Bangkok.
After Xu Ruochu and Huo Ran got off the plane, they went straight to the most prosperous hotel, booked two rooms, and went to bed early.
She had already made all the arrangements on where to secretly look for Lin Xi tomorrow.
The next morning, she woke up, washed, and changed into clean clothes.
Just as she was about to pick up her bag and go out to meet Huo Ran for breakfast, she heard the door being pushed open and then locked.
She was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around, she met a pair of cold and distant eyes.
"Cousin!" she called out in surprise.
"W-Why are you here? And how did you get in?"
Obviously, they were very surprised at his sudden arrival.
Gu Yixiao was wearing a neat suit and had a slender figure. He stared at her with a pair of dark black eyes like an eagle, his thin lips slightly parted, and his tone was as cold as ice.
"Why did you lie to me?"
Wouldn't it be easy for him to get into the room? When the detective was helping him find the address, she had also prepared a universal room card for him. As long as he wanted, she could enter any private room in the hotel.
Of course, he wasn't interested in other people's rooms.
"Huh? I didn't..." Xu Ruochu was left speechless by his cold tone.
Lie to him? Lie to him about what?
She said she was going somewhere else to play, so she didn't lie to him.
"You still say no? Not only did you go abroad without telling me, but you also went with someone of the opposite sex. Isn't that too much?" He snorted coldly.
"No way!" Xu Ruochu gritted her teeth, mustering the courage to look up and meet his gaze. "I made a last-minute decision to go abroad, and I just happened to meet Huo Ran. How can you say he's being too much?"
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but then he regained his indifference and glanced at Xu Ruchu with disdain, "So what if it was unintentional? Anyway, you were secretly contacting Huo Ran behind my back, and this is absolutely not allowed."
"Brother..." Xu Ruochu frowned, "Don't you have to take care of your fiancée, Sister Lin Yuan? You come here to lecture me, you really have the time~"
"you......"
He was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door and a gentle male voice.
"Xiaochu, are you up yet?"
It’s Huo Ran!
Gu Yixiao's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He turned to look at Xu Ruchu, slowly approached her, and said in a deep voice, "You still call me so affectionately."
"......" Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment, and said speechlessly again: "Don't talk nonsense, my good friends all call me that!"
As she was speaking, she suddenly felt a dangerous aura enveloping her, and then someone hugged her waist.
