Chapter 106 Immediately Entering the Role of the Intern Boyfriend
The courtyard has regained its tranquility.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows of the two people.
Lu Zhanming turned around and looked at Gu Baobao standing under the eaves.
After this thrilling farce and the sudden confession, the little girl looked visibly tired, but her eyes were sparkling, like stars fallen into the sky.
Are you hungry?
Lu Zhanming asked, his tone as natural as if nothing had happened, but the tenderness in his eyes was undeniable.
"Should I go to the cafeteria for food, or... should I make something simple?"
Gu Baobao looked at him and suddenly asked:
"What you just said, is it true?"
Lu Zhanming paused for a moment, then realized what she meant, and his eyes instantly became extremely serious:
Every word is sincere. No deception, young or old.
Gu Baobao pursed her lips, looked away, and muttered to herself:
"...Who asked you that? I'm asking you, would your grandfather really come all the way from the capital carrying a cane to beat you?"
Lu Zhanming: "..."
He chuckled, then said seriously,
"Yes. The old man has a fiery temper. He loves me the most and is also the most worried about my marriage. If he finds out I've lost you, he'll make you a rocket, let alone a cane."
Gu Baobao was amused again.
As she laughed, she sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Today... is so chaotic."
"It won't happen again."
Lu Zhanming took two steps closer and whispered his promise.
"I'm here."
Gu Baobao looked up at him. The setting sun cast a soft, warm glow on his profile, making his hard features appear much gentler.
This man seems...to be quite nice?
【Defu,】
She felt a little confused.
I think I'm...
[Host! Stop acting like this!]
Defu's voice was filled with the comfort of a loving mother.
[Don't just think about it, take action! Observe first, then hire! Give him a probationary period! Let's pursue both career and love, achieving success in both areas! Let's go!]
Gu Baobao was rendered speechless by Defu's eagerness to marry the host.
She looked at Lu Zhanming and suddenly said:
"Lu Zhanming".
"Um?"
"If you want to pursue me, you can."
Lu Zhanming's eyes lit up instantly, like stars that had been ignited.
"but,"
Gu Baobao held up three fingers.
"First, you mustn't interfere with my work and research; second, you must listen to me; third... I haven't thought it through yet, I'll tell you when I do."
Lu Zhanming nodded immediately, his speed like a chicken pecking at rice:
"I'll do whatever you say! You're the boss!"
With that image of a devoted wife, there wasn't a trace of the cold-faced Yama.
Gu Baobao's unease and uncertainty suddenly dissipated.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time.
In this unfamiliar era, having such a powerful yet foolish person genuinely protecting you seems... not so bad, does it?
I'm hungry.
She said.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it!"
Commander Lu immediately took on the role of his intern boyfriend, full of enthusiasm.
"Anything is fine. Something light."
Gu Baobao waved her hand, turned around and walked into the house.
As Lu Zhanming watched her walk into the main room, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile that he couldn't suppress.
He looked up at the sky; the sunset was magnificent.
He felt that today might be the luckiest day of his life.
Just as the turmoil on the island military region subsided, and even unexpectedly fostered the budding of a relationship, Chen Yongkang received the latest phone report in that gray building in the provincial capital.
"What? She didn't leave? Instead, she publicly displayed amazing medical skills, gaining the attention and being persuaded to stay by the working group and higher-ups in the military region? Liu Jianguo and Zhao Dezhu and those others have been ordered to await further action?"
Chen Yongkang held the microphone, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
His carefully planned scheme of flattery and forced departure not only failed, but instead seemed to provide Gu Baobao with an even bigger stage, allowing her to shine brightly and win applause from the audience!
waste!
They're all useless!
He slammed his laptop down and paced irritably around the office.
Gu Baobao...you really are a tough nut to crack.
But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it?
If it doesn't work the first time, there's always next time.
Going to France to participate in an exhibition?
International stage?
Chen Yongkang walked to the window, looked at the gray sky over the provincial capital, and a sinister calculation flashed in his eyes.
In that place, the water is deeper and the wind is stronger.
How far can a young girl with no background, relying only on her medical skills and luck, go?
He picked up another internal phone and dialed a number that was rarely used.
"Hello, it's me. There's something I might need your help with. Yes, it's about a young female expert named Gu Baobao who's going to France to attend a medical exhibition..."
A muffled response came through the microphone.
Chen Yongkang hung up the phone, and that unsettling, all-knowing smile reappeared on his face.
Gu Baobao, let's... take our time playing.
Your hands, your medicine, you... I'm very interested.
Then we'll see who can protect you.
Night deepened.
The island breeze carries a warm, salty scent, but the conspiracies brewing in certain corners are colder than ice.
Gu Baobao's new chapter seems to have just begun, but the fog ahead is quietly getting thicker.
At this moment, the courtyard is warmly lit, the aroma of food wafts from the pot, and a man's clumsy yet earnest figure is busily working.
Who knows what the future holds?
But at least tonight, the stars are still shining.
