hey saw Fu Shanyi and Hong'er's boss coming toward them. " 。The boss didn't recognize her and didn't say hello. Instead, Fu Shenyi stopped walking: "Tinglan, what are you doing here"The vice president...No matter what, she always had a kind of innocent and romantic carefree spirit that could illuminate those around her. Even Gu Ruandong felt that she was great this way. No matter what storms he faced outside, when he came to her, everything would be calm and peaceful, giving him a sense of belonging.

She masked her anxiety well, so no one could tell she hadn't slept a wink last night, her ears pricked for any sound from outside the villa as she waited for him to return.

She wasn't a clueless fool, she was just trying to play her part well and make him as comfortable as possible.

Gu Ruandong went home specially to see her, accompanied her to finish breakfast and then had to go out again. Lu Yaoyao sent him all the way to his car and stood beside him. He hugged her and kissed her before getting in the car. Seeing that Lu Yaoyao was still standing there motionless, he rolled down the window and looked up at her with a smile: "What's wrong"

Lu Yaoyao shook her head, said it was okay, and then took two steps back, motioning for the driver to drive.

"Come back early tonight."

"Okay."

She watched his car drive away, his image in the window like a scene from the past, fading from her sight.

She walked back to the room, having just parted, she already missed him a little.

Cuiping was putting away the clothes he had just taken off, muttering, "Is Gus sick Why does his clothing smell like a hospital"

Lu Yaoyao took it and sniffed it. It did smell like the antiseptic water used in hospitals. She frowned and was about to hand it to Cuiping when she noticed a hardened lump at the cuff of the sleeve. Because his clothes were black, she couldn't see what it was, so she rinsed it under the water. The white sink basin became stained with a faint red, bloodstains.

Her heart sank, her hand trembled. Seeing Cui Ping lean over to ask what was wrong, she hurriedly increased the water flow, washing away the bloodstains. She then handed her clothes to Cui Ping: "Take it to the laundry room."

Last night, she didn't hear who called because she was half asleep. However, the only ones who would call him in the middle of the night were his friends.

Where did the bloodstains on your clothes come from Were you injured, or were you in a fight

She could no longer keep her composure or conceal her worry, so she called him directly. The phone rang once before being answered.

Gu Ruandong, you

"Yaoyao, I have something to attend to right now. I'll get back to you later."

Both of their voices rang out at the same time. Before Lu Yaoyao could even ask, Gu Ruandong had already hung up.

Lu Yao looked at the phone screen that displayed "Call Ended", stunned for a moment. She immediately called his work number, which was left at Xiao Cai's place.

Xiao Cai also answered quickly, but when she asked about what Gu Shao was busy with, he replied:

Mr. Gu hasn't come to work today.

Xiao Cai honestly said that recently Gu Shao has been frequently absent from the company and he hasn't been allowed to follow him. He didn't dare to ask too much.

"What has he been busy with lately"

"I'm not sure about that." He only handles internal company affairs, there's no need for him to report the boss's whereabouts, he really doesn't know.

Lu Yaoyao was so angry she could explode: "You're his secretary, you don't know anything, what use are you as a secretary!" She slammed the phone down.

She now regrets not getting to know his group of friends properly before. At the time, she thought his old circle was hard to fit into and didn't bother trying, until now she feels like a headless fly, clueless and lost. Suddenly, it dawns on her that they are husband and wife, and by marrying him, she married everything about him; they are one.

Thinking this way, she asked the driver to take her to Baili Club. It was the only place besides her company where she could find him.

The clubhouse was very quiet during the day, with few people around. Only a few scattered customers were having tea and chatting in the tea area.

All the waitresses at Baoli Club knew her, and seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, they hurried to Gu Ruan's exclusive room and said, "Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu didn't come today."

The sound of Mrs. Gu's voice suddenly made her stop in her tracks, as if she had woken up. What was she doing It was just a little bloodstain on the cuff of his shirt. But he said he would call her back after a while, and she felt completely disoriented.

"I'm not looking for him, I'm going to have tea." She pointed to the teahouse in the distance.

As she walked towards the tea room, her phone rang. Seeing "Brother" on the screen, a sudden ache filled her nose. There was both grievance and a sense of comfort. She realized that if something truly happened, she wouldn't know where to find him. Her world and his were completely separate.

She answered the phone and remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Yao Yao" Gu Ruandong's voice came, at first it sounded normal, gentle and affectionate, but Lu Yaoyao could hear the slight impatience hidden in his tone.

The sour feeling I had just suppressed came back up, so I chose to keep quiet.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I was busy just now. Were you looking for me" As he spoke, one could still hear the sound of a lighter clicking in his hand.

Lu Yao Yao could almost picture him now, one hand holding his phone and the other a lighter. If there was a wall behind him, he'd definitely be leaning against it.

"What are you busy with" she finally asked. She was concerned about him, not here to pick a fight, so she swallowed her own hurt feelings.

"After a long silence, a voice came from the phone: "Dajin is injured. He was just operated on."

The surgery had been going well at first, but just now there was sudden internal bleeding and her blood pressure dropped. When she called, the doctor was having him sign a critical condition notice, so he hung up directly. Then he got messages from Xiao Cai saying that she was looking for him, and from the club manager saying she was at the club looking for him. So when he returned the call, his tone was indeed a bit bad, but he tried his best to hide it.

Of course, his impatience wasn't directed at her. It was just that everything had piled up on him, and he was already on edge.

Lu Yaoyao's intelligence had always been hidden. She wouldn't bother to use it on people she didn't care about, but for those she cared about, she was more perceptive than anyone else. She had hurt him with a careless hint of impatience that he had never used with her before.

"Which hospital are you in I'll come over."

"Don't come closer." He stopped her immediately, his voice harsh this time, the severity directed solely at her because he didn't want to involve her.

Perhaps my tone was too harsh, Lu Yaoyao's grievance from just now couldn't be controlled and she burst into tears: "Gu Ruandong, I found that as long as you don't want to, there is nowhere for me to find you."

Her world was simple and safe, like living in a sunroom filled with flowers. She lived a safe life within it, but today she discovered, no, that was wrong, because along with safety came the inability to leave.

Only he could come and go freely. When he entered this sunroom, he wore one expression, but when he left, it was a different one altogether, while she was nowhere to be seen. as me, he has already achieved great success in his career, leaving others far behind. He's also very handsome, with clear features and an aristocratic temperament.Tinglan was calling out in her hear...
