BOSS and the others are trying to set up Young Master Mu and Miss Lin. It’s astonishing that Young Master Mu doesn’t seem to care at all. Now look at Miss Lin, isn’t she perfect? She has both brains and brawn. Where else would you find a woman like her? How come Young Master Mu isn’t interested? Could it be that his sexual orientation is really in question?
Assistant Qi thought he might have discovered a significant secret.
Lin Ruonan felt like a puppet with its strings cut, allowing Gu Haoyu to embrace her as they left the hospital. Even after getting into the car, Mu Xingfeng’s words still echoed in her ears: "I have no feelings for you. Don’t waste your time on me."
He said not to waste time on him, but did he know that she had devoted so many years of her life to him? Did he know that her heart had been tied to him since childhood?
Tears flowed uncontrollably, but they couldn’t match the pain in her heart.
She didn’t understand why. What had she done wrong? Was it because of that young girl?
He said she saved his life and he wanted to repay her. But there are so many ways to repay, why did he have to stake his feelings?
If that’s the case, how should she repay him for saving her life? If that’s the case, she might as well be dead to him.
But he didn’t know any of it. One sentence "I have no feelings for you" wiped out all her hopes for this relationship.
Gu Haoyu looked at the Lin Ruonan beside him, feeling as if needles were pricking his heart. The very thing he worried about had happened.
Although this was what he had wanted to see, seeing Lin Ruonan in such pain, he would rather endure it himself to trade for her happiness.
"Ruonan, should I take you home?" Gu Haoyu tried to ask.
It wasn’t until then that Lin Ruonan realized she was in Gu Haoyu’s car. She shook her head vigorously, "No, I don’t want to go home. Big Brother, take me anywhere, I just don’t want to go home."
Going home would mean her grandpa would bring up the matter again. She was afraid she couldn’t control her emotions. She knew her grandpa’s expectations for this relationship were no less than hers.
Gu Haoyu reached out and gently stroked her soft short hair, "Alright, Big Brother will take you away."
If you’re willing, Big Brother is willing to take you anywhere so that you never get hurt again.
The black Maybach cruised on the highway. Gu Haoyu glanced at the sleeping woman beside him. Tears still lingered on the corners of her eyes, dark circles under her eyes betrayed her lack of proper rest in the hospital these days.
When Lin Ruonan woke up again, she found herself lying on a large European-style bed, with the sound of waves in her ears.
She stepped off the bed barefoot and walked to the window, only to be greeted by the sight of an endless ocean.
As a special forces soldier, Lin Ruonan usually trained in terrestrial and jungle combat and rarely approached the sea. Seeing the blue waters stretching to the horizon, Lin Ruonan’s heart finally relaxed.
Not bothering to wear shoes, she ran downstairs barefoot to the beach, running and running until she stepped into the cool waves.
The sandy beach beneath her feet was soft. The waves occasionally lapped at her feet, tingling a bit. The sea breeze blew in her face, salty like the taste of tears.
Lin Ruonan closed her eyes, enjoying the caresses of the sea breeze. Not far behind her, Gu Haoyu watched this small woman, emotions in his deep eyes rolling like the waves.
The sky gradually darkened. The nighttime sea, like an old man, whispered ancient tales. At the horizon’s edge, a full moon slowly rose, its silver light dancing on the sea like musical notes.
