In fact, Lu Yao is a person who is very afraid of loneliness.
Over the years, she has always learned to eat alone, go shopping alone, and even buy popcorn and Coke to watch movies in the cinema alone.
However, whenever couples or groups of friends walked past her, a wave of loneliness would uncontrollably surge up and envelop her, and she could only pretend nothing had happened.
In fact, she sincerely hoped that there would be someone by her side, even if the other person didn't say anything but just stayed with her.
But what about now?
She looked around the empty room, and Mu Rong'er's words seemed to be still playing in her ears, making her uneasy...
No! Lu Yao shook her head vigorously. She had to divert her attention away from this matter now!
As if asking for help, Lu Yao took out his cell phone, found Xu Xiaoyan's number, and sent a text message: "Let's have dinner together tonight?"
After a long five minutes of waiting, the screen lit up: "Tonight? But I'm on a business trip now."
This was Xu Xiaoyan's usual tone. Lu Yao stared at the screen and suddenly felt her eyes sore and swollen. She took great effort to prevent tears from falling.
Who else could it be? Chen Xiaorui had been missing for the past few days.
After thinking about it, Lu Yao still sent a text message to Chen Xiaorui, but she waited for a long time without any response. After a while, she nervously dialed Chen Xiaorui's number, but what she heard was a mechanical voice reply - Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off.
This stinky girl!
Lu Yao threw his phone aside in grievance, and curled up on the soft sofa like a little animal drenched by rain.
The first star had already peeked out of the sky outside the window, its light was faint but clear. She lay quietly on the sofa, her whole body blending into the darkness. She didn't know how long it had been before she slowly fell asleep.
Because she slept on the sofa, Lu Yao always felt restrained. She would either accidentally touch the corner of the table or almost fall to the ground. She tossed and turned until midnight, and woke up with back pain.
Lu Yao looked around with sleepy eyes. With the help of moonlight, there was no sign that the furnishings in the house had been moved, which meant that Chen Xiaorui still hadn't returned home.
Lu Yao guessed that she would not be able to wait for Chen Xiaorui to come back, but fortunately she felt better after a good sleep. With a sigh, she turned on her phone to check what time it was, but found an unread text message from Chen Xiaorui.
It was 2:30 in the morning, and she received this text message ten minutes ago. Lu Yao was full of doubts. Was Chen Xiaorui still awake at this time? Moreover, why would she send her a text message at this time? Even if it was to reply to her previous message, she didn't have to reply in the middle of the night.
An uneasy feeling spread in Lu Yao's heart. She opened the text message, which read: "Xiao Yao, there is an emergency. Please call me and give me another 30,000 yuan. Thank you."
Seeing the content of the text message, Lu Yao was stunned and couldn't help but growl: "Thirty thousand? Is she crazy?"
After exiting the text message interface, she hurriedly called, but the response she got was that the other party's phone was turned off.
Her heart was pounding in the dark. Lu Yao bit her lips and after a pause of more than ten seconds, she dialed Chen Xiaorui's number several times. However, her actions did not change anything.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Yao began to have wild thoughts: If Chen Xiaorui really had an accident, and this 30,000 yuan was her life-saving money... of course life is much more important than money!
Interrupting her thoughts, Lu Yao dared not delay any longer and immediately transferred the last of her savings to Chen Xiaorui's bank card. Although it only took a few minutes to do all this, she was so emotional that when she saw the reminder of the successful transfer, she felt like a dehydrated fish, weak all over, and collapsed directly on the sofa.
Perhaps the more critical the moment, the clearer the mind. After this episode, Lu Yao recalled what Mu Rong'er said again, and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense. Because, even if she didn't want to get benefits from Gu Siming, what would others think? Gu Siming must have been criticized a lot during this period, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Yao turned over in annoyance and gritted her teeth secretly: If it was really because of me that the cooperation between the two groups was ruined, wouldn’t she be a sinner?
But she had already lent all her savings to Chen Xiaorui. If she lost Gu Siming's "feeding", she would starve to death on the street, right? At this point, it seemed that she could only work at G Group while looking for a new job.
Leaving G Group, leaving Gu Siming...
Thinking of this, Lu Yao's breathing suddenly became heavy, as if there were a pair of invisible hands pulling her nerves hard.
The next morning, after the company's regular meeting, Gu Siming returned to the office and reached for the coffee cup on the table, but found it empty. He subconsciously said, "Lu Yao, coffee."
no respond.
He felt puzzled and turned to look for Lu Yao, only to discover that she was sitting in a seat not far from him, staring blankly at a corner, not knowing what she was thinking about.
He found it a little funny, but he still managed to hold back the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, and raised his voice again, "Lu Yao?"
"Here!" As if suddenly awakened from a dream, Lu Yao jumped up suddenly, looked at Gu Siming with fear and nervousness, and stood straight.
Gu Siming raised his chin and said, "Coffee." After thinking for a while, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yao took the coffee cup with a pale face, and even her voice sounded weak. Because she had her back to Gu Siming, he couldn't see her expression clearly. He only heard her somewhat flustered voice: "No, nothing... I'm just hungry."
Hungry? She must have lost her soul, right?
Gu Siming glanced at her, but did not expose her lie on the spot. He just stood up and said calmly, "Go eat if you are hungry."
Next, the two went to the restaurant together, and inside the restaurant, Lu Yao's series of actions further confirmed Gu Siming's guess.
First, when ordering, Lu Yao took the menu and just pointed at it a few times without even looking at it carefully; then, she seemed to have a poor appetite, and after eating only a little, she put down her chopsticks and forced a smile, saying, "I'm full."
Gu Siming slowly ate the last piece of vegetable on the plate, then raised his head and looked at her: "Are you full?" As he spoke, there was a scrutinizing look in his dark eyes.
Lu Yao's heart trembled when she saw this, and Mu Rong'er's words appeared in her mind again.
She deliberately overreacted and made up an excuse to say, "I caught a cold these past two days, so I have a poor appetite."
Hearing this answer, Gu Siming frowned.
Lu Yao had lied to him many times in the past few days. It wasn’t that she couldn’t lie to him, but... her lies to him made him very unhappy.
Gu Siming felt a stuffy feeling in his chest, and it seemed as if there was a cluster of flames burning.
Such emotions naturally affected his work state. When communicating with employees, he always had some hostility, which made the atmosphere in the company become inexplicably "serious" and the atmosphere was so low that it was hard to breathe. However, only one person did not notice it.
Of course, this person was Lu Yao, and the reason why she didn't notice it was very simple - her mind was not on Gu Siming at all.
A banquet for tonight was scheduled a few days ago. After get off work, Gu Siming took Lu Yao to pick up the custom-made dress.
On the way, Lu Yao remained silent. Gu Siming endured it again and again until the driver drove them to their destination and drove away before asking, "Lu Yao, what happened to you today?"
When facing Lu Yao, Gu Siming would always be much gentler unconsciously. When hearing his low and gentle question, Lu Yao felt a sense of grievance in her heart, and her nose instantly became sour.
She could hear the concern in his words.
However, no matter how much grievance she had, she didn't want to tell him what Mu Rong'er had said again - this was her problem and had nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't worry about her. After all, he was just her boss.
With her head lowered, Lu Yao hummed a few times like a mosquito, trying to brush off the topic, but suddenly she heard a very fierce engine noise. She raised her head and saw billowing smoke and dust coming towards her!
They both looked up, but could only see the car lights that hurt their eyes. Fortunately, Lu Yao reacted very quickly. She hugged Gu Siming and they rolled to the open space on the side.
At that moment, Gu Siming's mind was blank, and he even had a feeling that his heart had stopped beating.
After the two men avoided the danger, the sound of sudden brakes was heard. The car that had been running recklessly just now turned a corner and finally stopped nearby. The owner of the car walked down with a pale face.
When the car owner approached, he saw two people lying on the ground, especially the girl who was covered in blood. He was so scared that his legs went limp. He looked again and found that the man next to him was Gu Siming. He simply fell to the ground with a plop.
The car owner was shaking and stuttering, almost incoherent: "Mr. Gu, I, I didn't mean it... I thought there was no one around, so I just replied to the text message..."
Gu Siming's expression was terribly gloomy. He yelled, "Get lost!" Then he hugged Lu Yao in his arms and wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup. However, as soon as he took a step, he remembered that the driver had already left, so he yelled at the car owner, "Get back! Take her to the hospital!"
It was originally his own problem, so the car owner didn't dare to say a word. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and staggered over.
As a "victim", Lu Yao felt that the scratched area was as painful as fire. Because of the severe impact on the head, the whole person was a little dazed. He could only stammer: "I'm fine, it's okay..."
Gu Siming glanced at her solemnly when he heard that. He originally wanted to scold her loudly, but when he saw her covered in wounds, he felt distressed and anxious. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up first."
His voice made Lu Yao, who was a little drowsy, uneasy. After struggling for a few times, Lu Yao said anxiously: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
In fact, she didn't know why she apologized, but there was a voice in her heart that kept reminding her, "Don't make this person angry." Otherwise, who would care about her and discover her value?
Seeing Lu Yao like this, Gu Siming's heart was broken. He could only lower his voice and whispered softly in her ear: "You go to sleep first, okay?"
This time, Lu Yao finally felt relieved, or maybe her current physical strength was not enough to support her to continue "struggling". Nodding obediently, Lu Yao finally fell asleep peacefully in Gu Siming's arms.
When faced with danger, self-preservation is the first reaction, but at such a critical moment, Lu Yao stood in front of him regardless of everything? Even when she was injured, she was still wondering if he was angry.
Looking at Lu Yao's face with her eyes closed, Gu Siming couldn't help but hug her tighter, and secretly decided in his heart: from now on, no matter what happens, he will never let her get hurt again!
After receiving the news, Assistant Zhou rushed to the hospital and handled relevant matters. Gu Siming, who had temporarily relaxed, sat on a bench in the hospital corridor and took a short rest.
Assistant Zhou has been working at G Group for quite some time. In his memory, this young and handsome president always looked calm and serious. Moreover, no matter how tough and powerful the enemy was, he could handle it calmly without showing even the slightest panic. He was as perfect as a working machine. It was the appearance of Lu Yao that changed him.
After Lu Yao came, he began to smile, although the smile was very shallow, everyone could see that it was joy from the bottom of his heart; after Lu Yao came, he would sometimes show helplessness, but there was not a trace of annoyance in that helplessness, and it was even accompanied by warm doting.
After consulting the doctor about Lu Yao's condition, Assistant Zhou turned back to report to Gu Siming. I don't know if it was God's understanding or something else, the usually busy hospital corridor was now empty, with only Gu Siming sitting on a bench, closing his eyes and taking a light nap.
He exuded a tired and gloomy aura. Assistant Zhou couldn't help but slow down his pace when he saw this, and sighed in his heart: Love is indeed a great and magical existence!
Although Gu Siming closed his eyes, he was still conscious. Hearing footsteps around him, he raised his eyelids. Seeing that the person coming was Assistant Zhou, he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows and asked in a hoarse voice, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said it's nothing serious, just some skin injuries and a slight concussion. He just needs more rest." Assistant Zhou replied, then thought for a moment and asked, "President, are you still going to the banquet tonight?"
Gu Siming tightened his hands on his knees and glanced at her coldly, not wanting to explain the meaning behind his glance.
Assistant Zhou was frightened by that glance and felt cold all over. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject: "I have already arranged everything for Miss Lu. President, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Gu Siming pondered for a while, then said slowly: "I'll stay here with her for a while, you can come over later."
Assistant Zhou agreed and left without stopping, but his heart was still beating fast - not because he was shy, but because he was scared.
Oh my god! The president is indeed the president. Once he gets serious, he is just like a big devil!
After Assistant Zhou left, the corridor returned to its previous tranquility. Gu Siming leaned back on his chair and took a few deep breaths, but still felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He reached out to loosen his tie, then stood up and walked towards the ward where Lu Yao was.
Originally, he didn't dare to see her lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and lifeless, but if he couldn't see her, he would feel upset.
Standing in front of Lu Yao's bed, Gu Siming gently touched Lu Yao's cheek with his fingertips. The touch from his fingertips was slightly cool and delicate, like a peeled egg. His fingertips slowly moved down, finally stopping at the corner of Lu Yao's pale lips.
She is most beautiful when she smiles.
When Lu Yao woke up, she felt that there was no place on her body that was comfortable. She reluctantly moved her arm, but accidentally pulled the wound, so she had to lie back down.
Looking at the snow-white ceiling, Lu Yao sighed, "I'm so thirsty!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a clean little spoon was carefully handed to her and gently placed against her lips.
The spoon is filled with warm water.
Lu Yao didn't even think about it, and subconsciously took a sip, followed by another spoonful...
After drinking about half a cup of warm water, Lu Yao finally sighed happily. He twisted his bandaged head to see who this kind person was, and kept thanking him: "Thank you so much for troubling me, I really..."
The words on her lips were not fully spoken, because when she saw the appearance of the "kind-hearted person", she felt as if she had been hit on the head by a stick, and even began to stutter: "President, President... why are you here?"
The person who just fed her water was actually the president!
Compared to Lu Yao, Gu Siming's expression was as calm as ever. He put the spoon back into the cup and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
Lu Yao was startled and quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say anything.
Looking at this situation, does the president want to continue to take care of himself? This is unacceptable!
Gu Siming didn't rush to ask more questions after not getting an answer. He ignored Lu Yao's confused and panicked look, opened the thermos box on the table, looked at her casually and said, "You just woke up, it's not suitable for you to eat too much. Your stomach won't be able to handle it. Even if you're hungry, you have to be patient. Drink some vegetable porridge first. This is made by Assistant Zhou himself."
As he spoke, he handed a spoonful of porridge to her lips and looked at her silently.
Lu Yao stared with his eyes wide open, his whole body seemed to be petrified, and he didn't move at all.
"Not to your liking?" Gu Siming hesitated for a moment, put down the porridge and said, "Then I'll ask Assistant Zhou to prepare other things..."
"Boss!" Lu Yao could no longer hold back, and finally spoke with a little fear, "Are you... injured too? That is... your... your mind... is a little confused? Or..." She thought hard, and suddenly realized, "Or do you want to fire me?"
Gu Siming calmly took back the spoon: "Why do you say that?"
Lu Yao laughed dryly twice and didn't dare to answer. She just howled in her heart: How can a CEO take care of his assistant like this? If you say there is no hidden secret in this, she will never believe it!
Perhaps he guessed Lu Yao's little thoughts, Gu Siming curled his lips with a bit of amusement, but suddenly he stopped smiling and put on another expression: "Since you have the energy to joke with me now, then I have to ask you--" At this point, his originally suppressed anger rose again, and his tone was a bit more unhappy, "Why did you stand in front of me at that time? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lu Yao was stunned by the question, and it took her a long time to realize that Gu Siming was referring to the car accident that day.
"Why ask? Isn't this what I'm supposed to do?" She tilted her head and looked at him innocently, with a sense of righteousness. "I'm your assistant! It's my job to protect you!"
It was the same answer again! It was exactly the same as when she stepped forward to protect Mu Rong's childhood not long ago!
Gu Siming was so angry that his eyes were full of frost. "You mean, no matter who your boss is, you can disregard your own life and do those thoughtless and dangerous things?"
Lu Yao was about to give a positive answer, but suddenly she opened her mouth wide, and then a question vaguely emerged in her mind.
If the person in danger at that time was not Gu Siming, but someone else, would she still throw him aside without thinking? Or... Gu Siming was special in her heart?
With this thought, Lu Yao's heart beat fast. She suppressed those doubts in her heart and just repeated the previous words over and over again: "As an employee of G Group and as your assistant to the president, in my opinion, this is what I should do, and..." She bit her lip stubbornly, "This job is really important to me, and it proves the necessity of my existence. If I don't treat it with all my heart, then... I really am a useless person!"
"Are you planning to prove the meaning of your existence only through a job?" Gu Siming was a little incredulous. "You obviously have many choices, why do you think of yourself as so useless?"
"Because I know myself!" Lu Yao suddenly became excited, his chest rising and falling slightly, "That's why I understand how important this job is to me!"
She had to make a living, take care of her father, and repay the countless huge debts. And she was so stubborn that she always offended people... Only Gu Siming gave her chances again and again, and made her confident.
Therefore, no matter how many unpleasant things Mu Rong'er said to her, even if she would no longer be an employee of G Group in the future, as long as she was still in this position, she would fulfill her duties!
The aroma of vegetable porridge mixed with the taste of side dishes lingered at her nose. On normal days, Lu Yao would have pounced on them and eaten them all without hesitation, but now, for the first time in her life, she had no appetite at all.
After a long while, Gu Siming's deep voice rang out in the room: "Then, let me take care of you from now on."
It's like a pair of warm hands, gently and ambiguously touching the strings deep in my heart.
Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and the interlaced shadows of the trees were projected onto the clean floor of the ward, as if naughty children had scribbled all kinds of shapes on it.
Lu Yao's heartbeat became stronger and stronger in such tender silence, and even the smell of medicine in the hospital became inexplicably sweet.
Her breathing was very light, fearing that any heavier breathing would break the rare beauty of this moment, which was like a dream.
"Let me take care of you. From now on, you don't need to worry about anything else. I will help you solve everything." Gu Siming's angular face gradually approached Lu Yao, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids. "Lu Yao, trust me, okay?"
——Trust me, okay?
No one had ever said such words to her. Lu Yao had never expected that the first time she heard such an idol drama-like line was from Gu Siming. And what about her? She actually believed him, believed that this was not a lie, and believed that he could really do it.
As if bewitched, Lu Yao was about to nod in agreement reflexively, but Mu Ronger's face with a mocking smile appeared before him again.
The light in Lu Yao's eyes dimmed little by little.
"No." She said in panic, not wanting to look at Gu Siming's expression when he heard the answer, "Absolutely not."
They have completely different lives and will have completely different lives in the future. Even if he doesn't end up with Mu Rong'er, he will meet a girl who is more suitable for him, such as a rich girl from a consortium or a lady from a noble family. Maybe Gu Siming's future marriage has nothing to do with love, but it will definitely be helpful to the development and future of G Group. And what about her?
Lu Yao stared at the ceiling blankly, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
Sometimes in life, you really have no choice.
A gust of wind blew, moving the clouds in the sky. They slid quickly with the wind and finally stopped in front of the sun, blocking out all the sunlight and hiding Gu Siming's sad and puzzled expression in the darkness.
His pale lips trembled, hiding his inner inferiority, and left in silence, leaving only his back to Lu Yao.
He didn't dare to ask what Lu Yao felt about him. Did she dislike him? Or was it just a subordinate's simple admiration for his superior?
In the world of emotions, everyone is a hiding coward.
The hospital was originally eerily quiet. As she listened to Gu Siming's footsteps gradually fade away, Lu Yao felt empty inside, as if there was a huge black hole hovering in the air. She thought that she would probably need a lot of food to fill it up.
Her eyes were filled with warm liquid, and Lu Yao bit her lips tightly to prevent them from falling. She encouraged herself secretly: Lu Yao! You must be strong! No matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you keep moving forward, you will overcome them!
Ignoring the pain in her body, Lu Yao struggled to get up and wanted to take the vegetable porridge on the table to fill her stomach. However, the pain in her arm was too intense. She groaned a few times and finally chose to give up. She stared at the bowl of vegetable porridge and let her stomach growl happily.
At this time, she really missed her dear Assistant Zhou...
Just when Lu Yao thought she was going to faint from hunger, Xu Xiaoyan, who had just returned from a business trip and heard the news that Lu Yao was injured, appeared at the door of the ward like a god.
When Lu Yao saw Xu Xiaoyan appearing in front of the ward door panting, carrying large and small bags of delicious food, she really wanted to shout: Savior!
But at this moment, her eyes were glued to the various delicacies and she couldn't move them away.
Xu Xiaoyan looked at Lu Yao's wounded appearance, and the anger that had been accumulated in his stomach could no longer be vented. Seeing that she was so hungry, he could only turn all his anger into a sigh and said helplessly: "Eat first!"
Xu Xiaoyan's act of helping Lu Yao in time of need can be said to have saved Lu Yao's life.
After being unconscious for a day and a night, all the energy in her body had been consumed. Not long ago, she had missed the opportunity to be "fed" by Gu Siming himself. If Xu Xiaoyan had not appeared, she might have starved to death here.
Seeing Lu Yao finish all the food he brought, Xu Xiaoyan handed him a cup of warm water and complained, "Actually, you shouldn't eat so much when you just woke up, but you have always had a big appetite, and the food I bought is relatively light, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Lu Yao lay back on the bed, revealing a satisfied smile after having a good meal and a good drink: "It's okay, I think this level is just right!"
Xu Xiaoyan snorted: "It's all your own fault. What did you promise me before? Didn't you say that something like this would never happen again?"
Lu Yao smiled a little embarrassedly: "I can't do anything about this kind of accident! Besides, it wasn't intentional, and you see..." She twisted restlessly on the bed a few times, "I'm still in good spirits!"
Xu Xiaoyan was still a little worried: "Has Xiaorui known about your injury? I don't think I've seen her much recently."
Lu Yao was startled: "I sent her a text message saying that I was hospitalized due to an injury, but she hasn't replied to my message these days. I wonder if she didn't see the text message..."
Before Lu Yao finished speaking, the two heard hurried footsteps outside the house, mixed with Chen Xiaorui's familiar and anxious call: "Lu Yao! Where's Lu Yao?"
This is a hospital! Is it really okay to make such a loud noise?
Lu Yao and Xu Xiaoyan looked at each other helplessly. The latter stood up slowly and walked to the door of the ward, waving his hand: "Hey! Over here!"
Chen Xiaorui slammed on the brakes and entered the ward. She passed by Xu Xiaoyan and rushed to Lu Yao: "Why are you injured again? You are just a group assistant. Is it worth it? Do you really think you are such a desperate woman?"
After not seeing her for a few days, Chen Xiaorui was still full of energy, but the tired dark circles under her eyes and her pale face made her look a little haggard.
Lu Yao was also a little anxious. She stood up and asked, "Why did you suddenly disappear? Your phone was turned off when I called you? Do you know that I am worried?"
Seeing the two girls in front of him exchanging sharp words, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help laughing. He took away the garbage on the table and said lazily: "I have something else to do at the company. Since Xiaorui is here, I'll leave this to her."
Chen Xiaorui also raised her chin: "Since you have fed Lu Yao, then you can kneel down and pay your respects!"
Xu Xiaoyan gritted his teeth and made a "beheading" gesture, then left with the garbage. Chen Xiaorui waited until his figure completely disappeared before she calmed down. She sat down next to Lu Yao with some guilt and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I'm in some trouble. Thank you for lending me the money."
Lu Yao stood up and stared at her: "What on earth happened? Don't you want to tell me now?"
Her eyes were so clear and calm. Chen Xiaorui lowered her head and spoke hesitantly after a long while: "I... owe a huge sum of money, and I haven't paid it back yet."
Lu Yao was startled, and tried to remain calm: "About how much?"
If it weren't for the astronomical figures...
Chen Xiaorui pinched her fingers, her voice weak and desperate: "The amount... is not a problem, but this is usury! The interest is getting higher and higher every day... I can't bear it anymore!"
During the days she disappeared, she was in fear every day. If Lu Yao hadn't sent the money in time, she would be...
Lu Yao was horrified when she heard this. In an instant, countless ideas flashed through her mind, but none of them could be used because she had very little savings left.
In the awkward and suffocating silence, Chen Xiaorui suddenly spoke with a little expectation in her eyes: "Um...Xiaoyao, the reason you were injured this time is because you saved Gu Siming. He must be very grateful to you, right?"
Lu Yao did not hear the deep meaning in Chen Xiaorui's words. Instead, it reminded her of what had just happened, and she became even more worried: "He said he would take care of me as long as I stayed with him."
Although this was not a grand confession, Lu Yao still felt blushing and her heart beating fast after saying it.
"He meant to be with you?" Chen Xiaorui jumped up from her chair excitedly. "What did you say?"
"I didn't agree to him." When Lu Yao said this, he was very calm. "We are not suitable."
Or rather...she is not worthy of Gu Siming at all.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaorui got anxious after hearing this. She grabbed Lu Yao's arm and said, "Why are you so stupid? In my opinion, Gu Siming is a very suitable person for you! And, and..." She gritted her teeth and said, "If you are with him, you can also help me!"
"Xiao Rui!" Lu Yao's face darkened for the first time, and his tone became a little serious, "I won't be with Gu Siming because of this! I know your situation is difficult, but this is not a good solution!"
Chen Xiaorui wanted to say something else, but after looking at Lu Yao's expression, she finally fell silent. She just stared at her hands that were still twisted together, and despair gradually revealed in her eyes.
Seeing Chen Xiaorui like this, Lu Yao also felt heartbroken. She held her hand in a soothing manner and said softly, "Don't be afraid. We will call Xiaoyan tomorrow and ask him to help think of a solution. You will be fine."
Her tone was as gentle as the summer breeze, but it still couldn't erase the anxiety in Chen Xiaorui's heart.
She still felt that Lu Yao and Gu Siming being together was the best solution. But she also knew that although Lu Yao was gentle and easy to talk to, once she made up her mind about something, she would never give up.
There was no choice but Chen Xiaorui could only nod and agree to Lu Yao's suggestion while making her own plans in her mind.
