was the wife of a certain finance minister, surnamed Liu. She was close friends with Cheng Zhimin in her daily life. Hearing that her two grandsons had returned to Beijing for the New Year, she eage...Ruan Ruan hurriedly followed, and when she got in the car, Gu Ruandong asked, "Where to"

She wasn't going to the airport.

"Grandfather's house."

Where do you live

"Hmm."

Ruan Ruan's relationship with Gu Ruandong is not as awkward as it was when she first returned to the country, but it's definitely not close either. After answering, there was nothing more to say.

Gu Ruandong was always someone who didn't speak easily. He was accustomed to the silence in the car, so he drove himself, as if forgetting that there was someone else in the passenger seat. It wasn't until he parked the car steadily at the entrance of the old residential complex that he spoke a word.

"Here I am."

"Thank you, brother," Ruan Ruan hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Being in a car with him always made her feel a little nervous. Ruan Ruan was actually quite curious about how Yao Yao could be so unafraid of Gu Ruandong

Gu Ruandong nodded, then turned the steering wheel and drove away.

Of course, Lu Yao Yao was not afraid of Gu Ruan Dong after they started dating. Before that, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, trying to stay as far away from him as possible. After becoming a couple, she became shamelessly attached and wanted to be by his side all the time.

She was waiting for him at home. Her mother-in-law had said the wrong thing earlier and felt guilty, and she had been blocked by her son and scolded by her husband, so now she treated her with careful coaxing, sitting beside her in the living room all the time.

Lu YaoYao has never lacked love since she was young. So, after hearing what Gu's mother said before, she felt sad for a day and then let it go. She just wouldn't give her feelings as wholeheartedly as before. Now, she mostly thinks of Gu Ruan Dong's mother, just normal interaction is enough.

"Yaoyao, why don't you see which day works for you Your aunt and uncle want to visit your grandpa and dad." She also wants to curry favor.

Old Master Lu wants to formalize the relationship between the children. They've been dating for so long, let's not make things complicated.

"Let's talk about that later, we'll make arrangements." In reality, Grandpa and Dad hadn't truly relented, and Gu Ruandong had his own plans.

"Didn't your grandfather and father agree yet" Gu's mother was straight to the point. She used to be neighbors with them, and after the old man had made a big fuss at their house last time, she naturally knew how much the Lu family loved YaoYao. She probably needed to test Gu Ruandong, so she thought of going to their house to communicate and show her sincerity.

As the two were talking, headlights flashed in the front yard. Soon, Gu Ruandong's car drove in. Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up and ran outside.

Gu Ruandong had just gotten out of the car when she ran up to him. Because she was wearing thin clothes from inside, she shivered in the cold air. Gu Ruandong frowned and pulled her into his arms.

"So soon back"

"Uh-huh."

The two walked in from the courtyard, didn't go into the living room, and directly took the elevator on the third floor from the hallway.

He habitually leaned down and kissed her forehead, asking, "Are you bored here We can go back to your place now."

"Not boring at all, as long as I'm with you, it's the same everywhere." She was now able to spout love words effortlessly.

Gu Ruandong smiled and tightened his grip on her hand, his fingertips teasingly tracing circles on her waist, making her itch uncontrollably. Back in his bedroom, after a long kiss at the door, Yaoyao suddenly pushed him away and asked:

"Didn't Ruan Ruan go back to Senzhou She went back to the old house, didn't she" She suddenly realized this.

Gu Ruandong paused, the tide of emotion in his eyes dissipating.

"Well,

" she said helplessly, "Yaoyao, can you please focus"

Lu Yaoyao took the initiative to hook her arm around him and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was a little worried about Ruan Ruan."

She had been worried about Ruan Ruan these past few days, and now she realized that Ruan Ruan had originally been attending her cousin's wedding but suddenly ran back to the capital. She must have encountered something upsetting with her mother.

"Brother, please be nicer to Ruan Ruan from now on." She said it very seriously.

Gu Ruandong reached out and tousled her hair, letting go of her hand as he walked inside. "It's enough that your sister-in-law is good to you," he said.

Lu Yaoyao didn't react for a moment: "What sister-in-law"

Gu Ruan Dong didn't speak, he took off his coat at the bathroom door and hung it up.

Lu Yao yao took a while to realize who he was talking about, her face instantly flushed red.

"I don't want to be the sister-in-law, calling people old like that."

Gu Ruandong came over and scooped her up, his voice laced with his usual wickedness: "Then let's take a shower together first."

Two people quarreled in the bathroom for a while before coming out. When she was carried inside, she still had the energy to think about Ruan Ruan, but when she came out, her mind was blank and she was exhausted.

The two embraced and slept until the next morning. After getting up and tidying themselves, they returned to the Lu family.

On the way, Gu Ruandong gave her a bank card: "You take it to give to Ruanruan."

"What"

The rent for that shop is on this card.

These things have always been handled by Xiao Cai. Before, Xiao Cai gave this card to Ruan Ruan, but it was refused, saying that she needed it for her tuition while studying abroad. Gu Ruan Dong didn't pay any further attention to the matter.

"Ruan Ruan might not want it." Yao Yao took the card and said.

This is old

"The old man left it to her."

"Brother."

"Huh"

"Actually, you are a very kind person."

Gu Ruandong glanced at her, smiled and said nothing more. The word "kind" was too far from him, and he had never given himself such a label. He just solved things according to his heart of hearts.

After arriving at the Lu family, she saw Zhuo Yu'an and Ting Lan bringing two kids to pay New Year greetings. The two children ran up to her enthusiastically as soon as they saw her, especially Shu Xiaohua, who directly took her hand and called her "sister" repeatedly.

Shu Xiaonian looked at the other hand that was being held by Gu Ruandong, standing silently to the side.

Lu Yao immediately withdrew her hand from his and reached for Shu Xiaonian.

Gu Ruandong glanced at his empty hands and made up his mind even more: he wouldn't have children in the future.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Yuan came with their children, and of course, Lu Kuò had the worst time. The old man seemed to disapprove of him in every way, and nine out of ten sentences he uttered were insults aimed at him.

But when speaking, never look directly at Lu Kuo.

"Yu'an, are you and Lu Kuo from the same graduating class"

Zhuo Yu nodded politely in agreement.

"Aren't you two kids starting elementary school"

"Next year in the second half."

"Well, your grandfather would be so happy to know this from heaven."

Every sentence seemed to care about Zhuo Yu'an and his family, but in reality, every sentence was a jab at Lu Kuo.

Lu Kuo would still scoff two years ago: "Isn't it just about having a child If I want to, I can give you one back in minutes. Whatever kind you want, twins, mixed-race... just tell me."

But this year, he was very silent because he knew this matter couldn't be taken lightly. He couldn't just find anyone to give birth to his child, nor could he simply shirk his responsibility as the head of the Lu family, or his grandfather's...

...the desire to have children. ...

If one is to have children, it should be like Zhuo YUAN and Ting Lan, because they love each other, which makes them look forward to the arrival of a child.t ask..."Can't wait for what"Feigning ignorance, he savored the look in her eyes, filled with tenderness and adoration. He enveloped her within his gaze, from which she couldn't escape. Just by lookin...
