gether. Perhaps they were enemies in a past lifeLu Yaoyao suddenly said, “After a few days when I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go back to Senzhou to recover. Don't come to my house then, anyw...The dangerous atmosphere from the earlier attack had vanished, leaving only an awkward silence in its place. Lu YaoYao leaned against the window, thinking to herself that it couldn't be true, Song JingYe couldn't possibly like her. It must have just been a normal physiological reaction, right That's what it was.

Song Jingye appeared calm and collected behind the wheel, but in reality, his mind was a whirlwind of anxiety. He felt like he was on the verge of breaking down, ready to just confess his feelings for her. Admit that he liked her, admit that he had thoughts about her, give those bitter and suffocating emotions an outlet to be released.

But just think about it.

She leaned against the window, her face a mask of worry and apprehension. If he really said those words, she feared their friendship would be over, and they'd never see each other again.

After calming himself down and letting the panic subside, he spoke, but changed the subject to get to the point: "Yao Yao, be careful lately, try not to go out of the house."

These people probably wanted to warn him or Gu Ruandong today, so they dared to hit his car in the city center. Or maybe Gu Ruandong's side had new actions, which drove them desperate. But for him, come what may, water comes and earth covers it. The bigger the conflict, the faster it can be resolved.

"If grandpa needs to go to the hospital, you contact me or find someone to take him. I'm in Beijing recently."

Lu Yao nodded.

The car pulled up to Lu's courtyard gate and stopped. She unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out, fleeing as if she were escaping from danger. She avoided him like the plague. He wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't even get a chance.

Also, she's clever. She probably saw through his intentions, so she avoided him.

My heart felt heavy, yet I knew this was how it should be.

His home wasn't far from Lu's, both in the same district. When he drove home, his mother happened to come out and saw him. She said, "What were you doing You look lost."

He rubbed his face. "It's okay."

Behind him, his mother's voice came again, "What's wrong with your car Did you get into an accident"

Only then did he remember his car had been hit. It was a military vehicle, built tough with reinforced bumpers and anti-roll features. The extent of the damage showed just how powerful the impact must have been.

Just as he was looking at a car, Gu Ruandong's phone call came in. Even through the phone, he could sense the heavy atmosphere, and although he wasn't feeling guilty, he expected the other party to come asking for an explanation.

"Thanks for what happened to YaoYao today."

"Hmm," he replied. His feelings were different now. Before, he'd been able to tease Gu Ruandong because his heart was at ease. While he had feelings for him, they were within control, with no ulterior motives. But now that he had impure thoughts, he needed to restrain himself and be careful with his words and actions.

"Also, I appreciate your appreciation and protection of my wife, but it's not appropriate."

He doesn't really bother with declarations of sovereignty, Gu Ruandong. He's very confident in himself and his relationship. He believes no one can take his woman away from him. However, when facing a formidable opponent, he inevitably feels a little insecure and has to be cautious, first showing respect then taking action.

"Hmm." Song Jingye still responded with a single word. It was an abnormal, unacknowledged affection; besides "hmm," he had nothing else to say.

After hanging up Gu Ruandong's phone, he looked at his mother's dubious expression and said...

“Can you show me those photos again”

Let's take another look, just in case there's something suitable.

His mother was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, flipping out her photo album from her phone and adopting a posture of readiness: "Which girl have you got your eye on Mom will arrange it for you right away."

Song Jingye glanced at it on his mother's phone.

"No need to look, just schedule a meeting directly. Meet several."

What if What if you happen to meet someone he likes, just looking at them makes him happy, and he just wants to hug and kiss them

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Mom Song was very happy that her son finally had this idea.

When he graduated from the military academy, she strongly objected to his being assigned to the northwest. Firstly, she felt sorry for him having to endure hardships there, and secondly, she was worried about his romantic life. She feared that among a group of men, he might end up like a monk.

"It just so happens that you can be transferred back to Beijing soon, it's the perfect time to start a family. You won't have to be separated anymore." Song mother had already started fantasizing about having grandchildren around her knees in the future. Who wouldn't envy Cheng Zhimin's situation ahead

Song Jingye smiled and said, “Mom, you think too far ahead.”

Just take a look first——

Lu YaoYao returned home, still shaken. First, she had been surrounded by cars, and second, because of Song JingYe. She didn't seem to have any experience being liked by someone proactively. Her first relationship was with Yuan Binhuan, whom she had actively pursued; her second relationship was also when she had actively chased after Gu Ruandong. So, she didn't dare to be sure if Song JingYe liked her. However, no matter what, she should act like Mrs. Gu and keep her distance from men who have moved on.

She was too scared to tell anyone about being surrounded by cars, but as soon as she got home, Gu Ruandong's video call came in. She imagined that everything she did in Beijing was reported back to him.

The video call connected, and before he could even speak, she hurriedly apologized: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you and gone to work."

Gu Ruandong had been worried at first, but upon hearing her words, he relaxed. "You're disobedient. Besides not going out to work, what else"

And don't let Lu Yao meet Song Jingye, but Lu Yao pretended not to understand: "There isn't any. Or should you give me a hint"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, a dangerous glint in them. "Then think about it carefully, or perhaps I should pay a visit to the capital and offer you some... suggestions"

He deliberately said the words "hint hint" in a very suggestive way, clearly not a serious hint. Lu Yao Yao is now unafraid: "Then come at me."

It's about avoiding talking about Song Jingye. She doesn't want to bring him up with Gu Ruandong, feeling that using Song Jingye as a topic of contention or banter between them would be disrespectful to him.

Gu Ruandong, being such a smart person, saw that she had a hint of protectiveness towards Song Jingye. This naturally made him uncomfortable, especially after seeing the video of them in the car today. His people had been following her and protecting her, and the in-car footage was clear enough.

Of course, he knew it was for her safety, but for her safety, she should have been sitting in the passenger seat wearing her seatbelt, which would be the safest option. So he had to suspect that Song Jingye was taking advantage of the situation on purpose.

So he got straight to the point: "Yao Yao, I know you don't have any feelings for Song Jingye, but his intentions towards you are impure. You'd better keep a proper distance from him. You know men are much more complicated than you imagine."

He has communicated this issue to her in the gentlest way possible.

Lu Yaoyao sarcastically said, "Nothing can be more complicated than you."

Gu Ruandong paused, his eyes dimming slightly: "Yes, I'm complicated. Not as clean-cut as Song Jingye."

It's probably because they've been apart for too long and lacked communication, making it difficult for them to have a proper conversation.

Lu YaoYao's original meaning was: You're such a complex person, and I can handle you. Do you even need to film others

But tone and emoji could be misinterpreted.s feeling down for several days when he first heard about it.However, Lu Kuò is also pragmatic: "Although Gu Ruǎndōng's past experiences were complicated, he is not a bad person at heart."He is loyal,...
