Lu Ran immediately retorted, "Anyway, I just like Sister Weiwei. If I have to marry her, I want to marry her."
"You brat, are you crazy? A woman with no background or status wants to become the Lu family's daughter-in-law? She'll only do that if I'm dead."
"Dad, when are you going to die? I'll remarry after you're gone..."
"You brat, I'll beat you to death!"
Lu Zhenhai's face turned green. After searching for a long time without finding anything suitable, he took off his leather shoes and started hitting him.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the unnoticed stairwell.
Gu Baiwei was unaware that Lu Ran was being forced to accept the "love education" from his own father because of her.
She was happily enjoying her meal in the corner, holding her plate.
Suddenly, another person appeared beside them. The person had strikingly long, golden hair, with the hair on their forehead combed back. They also had a silver cross-shaped earring on their earlobe. Although they were dressed properly in a light brown suit, they inexplicably gave off a carefree and unrestrained feeling.
What's even more surprising is that this person's features are somewhat similar to Shen Yanqing's. However, Shen Yanqing usually looks like a gentle and gentlemanly scoundrel, while this person looks like a dashing and unrestrained playboy.
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but whistle, not because the man was too handsome, but because he inexplicably reminded her of a golden retriever she used to have.
Thinking of this, Gu Baiwei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shen Shize turned his head and saw a woman wearing a simple beige fitted dress with a slender waist covering her mouth and chuckling, her eyes sparkling.
He flashed what he thought was a dashing smile: "Hello, my name is Shen Shize. May I ask how to address this beautiful lady?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly met her cousin Shen Yanqing's deep gaze.
The coldness in his eyes gave him a strange chill.
Gu Baiwei noticed his unusual behavior and followed his gaze, meeting Shen Yanqing's meaningful eyes.
As their eyes met, memories from before surfaced in her mind, and Gu Baiwei blushed and quickly looked away.
Shen Shize observed their interaction and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Interesting, his cousin, who was usually indifferent to women, was actually looking at a woman with such possessive eyes.
A flicker of interest crossed his eyes. Ignoring Shen Yanqing's warning gaze, he bent down and whispered in Gu Baiwei's ear, "Beautiful lady, my cousin is a clueless straight man. Why don't you consider me?"
When he spoke, he deliberately stood very close to Gu Baiwei. From Shen Yanqing's perspective, it looked as if he was about to lower his head and kiss Gu Baiwei.
Shen Yanqing's face immediately darkened, and he strode over and pulled the person away: "Shen Shize."
Meeting his angry gaze, Shen Shize put on a mocking smile: "Tsk tsk, it seems I've gotten in someone's way. I'll just leave."
As he spoke, he gave Gu Baiwei a slightly greasy wink: "Beautiful lady, would you consider my suggestion?"
Shen Yanqing has excellent hearing. Just now, Shen Shize deliberately let him hear, without lowering his voice.
He gave Shen Shize a cool glare: "Shen's recently acquired a small company. You'll start working tomorrow, so you won't be too idle and become annoying."
"Hey, cousin, can't you see I'm trying to help you? Why are you repaying kindness with enmity?"
Shen Shize immediately bristled. Just as he was about to say something more, Shen Yanqing didn't even bother to give him a glance. Instead, she reached out and grabbed Gu Baiwei, leading her out of the hall without saying a word.
As Shen Shize watched the two figures leave, his smile widened. This tactic had indeed worked.
But the thought of being forced to become a wage earner tomorrow immediately made him droop his head. Why was he always the one with a hard life?
Shen Yanqing's usually gentle expression turned somewhat gloomy. He pulled Gu Baiwei to a deserted corner of the corridor and pinned her against the wall.
Gu Baiwei suddenly looked up and met his deep, dark eyes.
"If you run into him again, stay away from him."
Shen Yanqing looked down at her and spoke in a deep voice.
"Mr. Shen is nobody to me. You have no right to interfere in who I associate with."
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but retort when she thought of this person's domineering attitude.
"He's dated at least eighty or a hundred girlfriends, he's not right for you."
Shen Yanqing explained through gritted teeth.
However, Gu Baiwei had no intention of appreciating it: "That's still better than someone having a sweetheart and then having someone else be their mistress..."
"Gu Baiwei".
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yanqing interrupted her directly, his voice clearly filled with anger.
The next moment, without warning, he grabbed her chin and kissed her.
This time, his kiss was domineering and forceful. Gu Baiwei didn't expect him to kiss her so forcefully in this place, and she frantically tried to push him away.
Just then, clear footsteps suddenly came from the side, getting closer and closer.
Gu Baiwei struggled even more violently: "Ugh... let go... someone's coming..."
Shen Yanqing then released her, but one hand still held her slender waist firmly, while the other hand pressed her head against his chest: "Don't move."
A middle-aged man stumbled over, and upon seeing someone, his face lit up with joy: "Excuse me, where's the restroom...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the person in front of him suddenly looked up, a pair of cold, deep eyes staring at him.
He stammered, "Mr. Chen... I... I..."
Noticing the woman being protected in Shen Yanqing's arms, he subconsciously wanted to peek over, but suddenly met Shen Yanqing's increasingly cold gaze: "Get out!"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry to bother you."
The man hurriedly turned and left, not daring to look back even once more.
It's unbelievable that the legendary Boss Shen, who was supposedly celibate, could be so close to women, just like any other man.
The man thought to himself, and hurriedly left the corridor. When he was almost in the lobby, his face suddenly froze. Damn it, he forgot to go to the toilet.
He immediately squeezed his legs together and hurried to find the toilet, this time wisely choosing the completely opposite direction from before.
Hearing the footsteps leaving, Gu Baiwei struggled to lift her head from Shen Yanqing's embrace.
Her face flushed; it was too embarrassing to be caught doing something like this.
However, Shen Yanqing showed no embarrassment or annoyance at being caught in the act. Instead, he lowered his eyes and looked at her intently, his usually indifferent face seemingly carrying a hint of unease.
"Weiwei, I'd like to answer the question you asked me before again..."
He spoke slowly.
Gu Baiwei had long forgotten what she had asked him, and looked over in a daze. Then she heard Shen Yanqing say in a low voice, "Didn't you ask me before if I wanted to marry you? My answer now is yes."
Gu Baiwei was a little stunned. She never expected that this was the question he was going to ask, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer it.
The events of her past life filled her with fear of marriage. Now, she only wants to change the tragic fate of her two children and doesn't want to consider anything else for the time being.
