CHAPTER 263: CHAPTER 277: I GUESS YOU WOULDN’T DO THAT

"I guess you wouldn’t do that," Lan Shan affirmed, a hint of surprise flickered in Gong Shaoyu’s eyes.

"Why do you say that? Are you that sure?"

"Because you said you hope Xinluo has a good life, that’s why."

Watching the girl, he didn’t speak for quite a while, then after a long moment, he smiled and said, "How does it feel like there’s no secret in front of you, no matter who it is? Do you have mind-reading abilities?"

Lan Shan smiled, brushing her hair behind her ear, "If I told you I could see through people, would you believe me?"

She looked up to meet his gaze, and they exchanged a smile.

"The food’s getting cold, let’s eat."

...

After they finished eating, they stood by the roadside, letting the cold wind brush past. Lan Shan turned to Gong Shaoyu, "Brother Gong, where do you live? Let me take you home?"

"Your knee’s injured, it’s okay, I’ll call someone to pick me up. Can you even drive like this? Why don’t you take a taxi home and have someone come pick up the car later!"

Gong Shaoyu glanced at her knee, feeling a bit uneasy. Lan Shan smiled, "It’s nothing, just a bump, I’m not that fragile."

Afraid he wouldn’t believe her, she jumped a couple of times on the spot, "See, I told you it’s fine, no need to make a fuss. Besides, I’ve already put medicine on it, it’s no big deal anymore."

Seeing her like this, Gong Shaoyu finally nodded, "You better head back now, it’s quite cold outside. Go home and rest early."

Lan Shan remained still, "Brother Gong, how about I give you a ride? It’s quite a way from the city center, even if someone comes to pick you up, it’ll take a while."

This time, Gong Shaoyu didn’t refuse again, instead, he nodded, but he didn’t let Lan Shan drive, and instead, he walked over to the driver’s seat himself.

...

The car arrived at the hotel where Gong Shaoyu was staying. They both got out of the car, and Gong Shaoyu walked up to Lan Shan, "Can you drive? If not, don’t push yourself."

"Can you stop treating me like a patient? It’s just a bump, not a fracture." She said a bit annoyed as she looked ahead. "Alright, Brother Gong, go in and rest early. I’m off then."

She waved goodbye and then returned to the driver’s seat, started the car, and drove away. Only when the car disappeared from Gong Shaoyu’s sight did he look away and turn towards the hotel.

Just as he reached the lobby, Qiao Rui suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Gong Shaoyu, "Who was that who sent you back just now?"

He was planning to go for a walk but hadn’t reached the door when he saw Gong Shaoyu get out of a sports car, followed by a woman.

Qiao Rui decided to observe from the shadows. When he saw Gong Shaoyu talking and laughing with the woman, his jaw almost dropped.

He had never seen Gong Shaoyu speak to any woman like that before. Well, there was someone a few years back who lived at the Gong Family, but he never met her.

Suppressing his curiosity, he waited until Gong Shaoyu entered the lobby, then rushed over without thinking.

Gong Shaoyu glanced at the man in front of him and said coldly, "You’re very free, aren’t you?"

Qiao Rui shivered, wasn’t this two different people? He was so gentle with that woman just now, but turned so cold towards himself?

His curiosity about the woman increased, so he fearlessly asked, "Shaoyu, who was that person?"

He knew that Gong Shaoyu was supposed to meet someone today, and now with a woman dropping him off, Qiao Rui couldn’t help but connect the two things.
