Сhарtеr 20: Lаtе-Night Cоnfrоntаtiоn! Her Тears Are Теn Thоusаnd Тimеs Мorе Stunning Тhаn Her Smilе
Su Ruаnruan fеll silent for a fеw seсonds beforе scоlding in a dеliсate vоice, “Mu Хin’еr, уоu’ve reаllу lоst уour mind writing that thеsis! Not hаving your рeriod fоr two months оbviously meаns уоu’re рrеgnant! Stop wоrking on уоur paрer and hurrу to thе рhаrmaсy to buу a prеgnаnсy test. Figure out first whether you’rе рregnant or not!”
Тhе cigarettе in Мu Xin’er’s mouth fell to the ground as she froze on the spot.
Night fell.
Every tent was lit up, creating a dazzling, starry scene that perfectly captured the romantic atmosphere.
Since they were camping by the lake, the evening breeze was a bit chilly.
Gu Jinzhou had already laid out the bedding.
“Baby, time to sleep.”
“Okay.”
Su Ruanruan walked into the tent and was caught off guard when she saw Gu Jinzhou holding a condom.
She immediately stopped in her tracks, her face flushed red.
“Gu Jinzhou! If you dare try anything here, I’ll cut out your kidneys!”
“I wasn’t planning to do anything to you here.” With his handsome, ethereal face, Gu Jinzhou calmly said something suggestive, “My baby’s moans are so sweet and delicate. I can’t get enough of hearing them myself—how could I bear to let others listen?”
Su Ruanruan: “…”
So annoying.
My boyfriend is actually a pervert.
The best kind of sleep is sleeping through the night, but Su Ruanruan woke up in the middle of the night, having dreamed again about her past life.
Her beautiful eyes, filled with tears, were wide with fear. She bit her red lips, trying not to let her sobs wake Gu Jinzhou.
Carefully stepping around the sleeping man, she left the tent and, without realizing it, walked to the edge of the lake.
Li Shaoyue had originally planned to leave the campsite in the afternoon, but for some reason, he had stayed until evening.
The man, who had been using a telescope to look at the stars, was caught off guard by a faint, soft sob.
It was weak, light, and delicate.
Li Shaoyue followed the sound.
A young girl in a pink floral dress stood by the lake, her snow-white skin glowing in the darkness, fair and tender.
Tears slid down her clean, pretty face, falling onto her delicate, sensual collarbone.
She cried silently, yet her beauty was heartbreaking.
Even her trembling eyelashes looked fragile and enchanting.
Li Shaoyue’s eyes darkened. He had never seen a treasure who looked so beautiful and soft when crying.
Her tears were ten thousand times more stunning than her smile.
Li Shaoyue didn’t go over to comfort Su Ruanruan. He couldn’t do anything to betray Su Lan’er.
Although he couldn’t remember why he liked Su Lan’er, since he had chosen her, he would remain loyal to her.
“Su Ruanruan!”
“Damn it, what are you doing by the lake?”
“Come here!”
Gu Jinzhou had gone mad searching for Su Ruanruan after realizing she was gone.
His phoenix eyes were bloodshot and terrifying, his heart, lungs, and liver aching with anger at her.
Su Ruanruan ran over, wrapped her arms around Gu Jinzhou’s waist, pressed herself against his chest, and even gave it two kisses.
Gu Jinzhou glared at her helplessly.
“What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?”
“I had a nightmare and came out to clear my head.”
“Why didn’t you wake me up? Su Ruanruan, do you know what kind of face and body you have? If I can’t keep an eye on you, you’ll be snatched away by wild dogs in an instant! Do you have any idea how much they all want to devour you?”
“Brother Jinzhou, don’t be angry. Ruan Ruan is scared. You were sleeping so soundly—I couldn’t bear to wake you.”Gu Jinzhou tightly gripped her waist, his fierce and sinister eyes filled with mocking coldness. “Now you know how to be considerate? I was about to explode in the tent, ruined two pairs of underwear, and you didn’t even give me a bite of meat!”
Su Ruanruan pecked kisses on his face and lips like a little chick pecking at rice, cooing softly and sweetly to coax him out of his anger.
The irritable lion quickly softened under the little white rabbit’s coaxing and kisses.
“Su Ruanruan, don’t you dare disappear on me! Even if I have to search the heavens above and the underworld below, I will find you!”
Gu Jinzhou showered the girl’s fair little ear with delicate kisses, his sinister crimson eyes lifting to glare threateningly at Li Shaoyue, who was peeking.
Li Shaoyue was taken aback for a moment, then curled his lips into a playful, roguish smile.
He didn’t even like Su Ruanruan, so Gu Jinzhou’s hostility was truly baffling.
After the two left, the lakeside fell quiet.
Li Shaoyue dialed Su Lan’er’s video call.
Su Lan’er had just finished filming a night scene. She yawned, two trails of tears carving paths through her heavy makeup.
Li Shaoyue: “…”
Su Lan’er knew Li Shaoyue didn’t like forceful women; he preferred delicate, spoiled little drama queens.
So she pouted and cooed at him, “Shaoyue, I miss you so much~”
“Weren’t you supposed to visit the set today? Why didn’t you come? Someone stole one of my endorsements—you have to teach her a lesson and make her get out of the entertainment industry!”
Li Shaoyue’s eyelids twitched.
He liked delicate women, even if they were a bit spoiled or princess-like—he could indulge them.
“Lan’er, when did you become so ruthless?”
“…” Su Lan’er blinked deliberately, feigning innocence, but her voice carried a utilitarian edge as she questioned him, “Someone bullied me, so you have to teach her a lesson! How can you call me ruthless? Don’t you love me anymore?”
Li Shaoyue realized he was comparing Su Ruanruan to Su Lan’er. He pinched the bridge of his nose, a self-mocking smile on his handsome, roguish face. “I was just in a bad mood earlier, Lan’er. Don’t be angry with me. I’ll have my secretary handle your endorsement issue tomorrow.”
Su Lan’er was satisfied.
Li Shaoyue was the one who doted on her the most in this world—even the Su couple couldn’t compare.
Because she had received so much affection, Su Lan’er believed it was only natural for Li Shaoyue to do anything for her.
“Mom and Dad are arguing about Ruanruan again. I can’t even go home now. She likes following you around, so if you see her, remember to persuade her to go home.”
“Alright.”
The horizon began to lighten with the first hints of dawn.
Going back to sleep in the tent was unrealistic, so Gu Jinzhou drove Su Ruanruan back to the old mansion.
“What nightmare did you have last night?” he asked.
“I forgot.”
Gu Jinzhou: “…”
The violent rage that had been extinguished by her tears flared up again in an instant, but there were more important matters at hand. Punishment could wait.
Su Ruanruan was busy exchanging texts with Mu Xin’er.
Mu Xin’er: The pregnancy test shows two red lines. What a stupid foreign brand! How could I possibly be pregnant in the prime of my life!
Su Ruanruan: …
Su Ruanruan: You are pregnant! But you still need to get checked at the hospital! If you don’t want to do it abroad, come back home quickly! Don’t forget, I have something big to tell you!
Mu Xin’er: I’ve got a life growing inside me, and you have something bigger than that?
Su Ruanruan: Yes, I do.Mu Xin’er: I’m buying a plane ticket back home today. Screw this damn thesis, I’m not writing it anymore!
Su Ruanruan: Your major is biology, right? My third brother graduated with a Ph.D. in biology from Harvard. He can guide you in writing your thesis.
Mu Xin’er: That’s perfect. Once I get back to the country and have the abortion, I’ll go find him for help with the thesis.
After returning to the Gu family.
Gu Jinzhou lagged a few steps behind Su Ruanruan and made a phone call to Gu Fengyan.
“Third brother, are you busy lately?”
Gu Fengyan: “Not too busy. Need something?”
Gu Jinzhou: “Yes, Ruanruan has a friend studying biology who’s having trouble with her thesis. She’s returning from abroad tonight. If you’re free, let’s have dinner together this evening.”
Gu Fengyan: “I’ll definitely be there!”
Perfect excuse to turn down the blind date dinner my mother arranged for tonight.
