the client he had an appointment with in the afternoon who arrived at the law firm early, so he could only say goodbye and leave ahead of schedule.After the restaurant was left with only Shu Tinglan...Faced with two dazzling big stars, she was still a college student after all, with a hint of shyness. But when she heard Lu Yaoyao's intention and wanted to participate in the foundation's work later, Chen Ning's eyes brightened, she no longer felt awkward, and happily said: "Okay, our president asked me to find an image ambassador for the foundation."

After finishing, she realized her words were a bit abrupt, so she added, “If you have time.”

"Of course."

Engaging in philanthropy, sometimes it's insincere, but sometimes it's genuine. She inexplicably believed this girl before her, perhaps because she was a student at the Foreign Affairs University. The girl exuded sunshine and an unusual sense of integrity. Even someone as shrewd as Xu Zhao thought highly of her, so she felt even more at ease and willing to collaborate.

Lu Yaoyao asked Xu Zhao, "Do you want to come together"

Xu Zhao refused: "I'm responsible for funding, I don't need an image ambassador. I already have several."

Lu Yaoyao: "Showing off to me again"

Xu Zhao: “No, no.”

Lu Yao added Chen Ling's WeChat account and said that if there were any matters concerning the fund, she could contact her directly.

Chen Ling said it was her first time interacting with a celebrity, and it was different from what she had expected. She always thought they were high and mighty, but she didn't expect them to be so easy to get along with.

Three people took a photo backstage, so it seems like the deal is done.

Chen Ling replied: "Can I post it on my Moments"

After that, she left the backstage with Xu Zhao.

The event has ended, some of the guests on site have left, while others continue to chat. It's a rare social gathering. When you see them come out, everyone instinctively looks over. One can't help but feel that the two of them have always been together, perhaps for mutual support.

That Liao Liao didn't leave either. An employee from Dongyang Film Studio brought her over to introduce her to Lu Yaoyao. She was truly innocent, her eyes like those of a fawn. Seeing her, even someone like Lu Yaoyao who called herself a little princess, felt a sense of time passing.

But to be honest, I was also quite sincere when greeting her and even invited her to have dinner together in the evening.

Liǎoliáo didn't expect her to be like this. He hurriedly said thank you and things like "looking forward to your guidance in the future", not daring to really have dinner with her.

"Let's have dinner when we get back to Senzhou."

As several people walked out of the venue, it was already dark. It was the heart of winter in Beijing, and even though they hadn't reached the outdoors yet, the hotel lobby felt vast and chilly. She was still wearing her evening gown, with her coat clutched by ShanShan, who had now vanished without a trace. She shivered uncontrollably in the cold.

Xu Zhao was wearing a white long down jacket over her evening gown, looking especially warm. Liao Liao and several staff members from Dongyang were also wearing coats.

But seeing that she was dressed lightly, she stood inside the glass door of the hotel lobby, waiting for her to call Shan Shan and the driver.

All eyes were drawn to the square outside the glass doors. Lu Yaoyao's phone call faltered as a black car stopped on the square, and beside it stood a tall, dark figure - Gu Ruandong. He was leaning against the car, smoking, his back facing the bustling street where cars flowed like a sea of moving lights, making the cigarette in his hand seem especially lonely.

He seemed to feel the people inside the glass doors of the hotel lobby, so he looked up and a slight smile touched his lips. He extinguished his cigarette and strode over.

Lu Yaoyao was stunned. His black overcoat was already draped over her, wrapping her tightly and keeping her warm. He held her close, softly asking, "Are you cold"

Lu Yaoyao glared at him: "What do you think"

Presumably, Shan Shan and her driver have both been sent away by him.

He smiled lightly, his catchphrase: "My bad."

His black coat was light, but warm, and it still held his body heat. She buried her head in it and sniffed: "You've been smoking again."

I just saw him smoking a while ago, and his clothes smell faintly of tobacco.

He said, "I only smoked one."

Xu Zhao cleared his throat beside her: "I'm leaving, Yaoyao. Let's keep in touch."

Seeing Gu Ruandong, she was still a little moved. She knew this man was dangerous, so she stayed away.

On the side, Liao Liao and Dongyang's staff said hello and left. But that Liao Liao kept looking back at Ruan Dong every three steps.

Lu Yaoyao found it interesting, raising an eyebrow towards Gu Ruandong: "What about you"

Gu Ruandong turned her around, his tone nonchalant: "Then you block for me."

He didn't bring a driver today, he drove himself. After giving his coat to Lu YaoYao, he was wearing a black waistcoat under it, paired with a dark gray shirt. His color choices always leaned towards the darker side, making him appear particularly abstinent. Especially when he was silent, but his gaze towards her was incredibly alluring. Particularly when getting in the car, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt for her, Lu YaoYao would still feel her heart racing.

After driving for a while, she realized it wasn't heading in the direction of Lu's house. She calmly reminded him, "We took a wrong turn."

At that moment, the traffic light turned red. Hearing her words, he suddenly turned his head and leaned in to pull her into his arms. He kissed her deeply and passionately, so much so that her coat fell off her shoulders, and the thin strap on her right shoulder slipped, revealing a patch of whiteness on her chest. With one hand, he held her slender waist, and with the other, he cupped the back of her neck to hold her steady. He kissed her deeply until the traffic light turned green and the horns started blaring. Only then did he let go of her and, casually, put her coat back on.

Lu Yaoyao wanted to go back to her family home. Recently, during the winter break, Lu Kuo and Ruan Ruan had both returned to Beijing. The house was unusually lively, which brought a feeling of comfort.

But Gu Ruandong apparently had no intention of sending her back.

After kissing her, he focused on driving and didn't speak again. Lu Yaoyao also had nothing to say, the car was quiet.

"The actress I just saw was arranged by Xiao Cai at my request." he said proactively.

"Oh." Lu Yaoyao tugged at her jacket, waiting for him to continue.

"Last time in the capital, I told you I had a meeting arranged, and I wanted to take you. It was with her father. He helped me a lot in taking down the Senbing Group, but she's an illegitimate daughter, so it's not convenient for the outside world to know."

She sighed again.

Gu Ruandong glanced at her, as if checking her reaction. After that, he turned back to continue driving and emphasized once again: "This is the first time I've met her today."

Shall I explain it again so she doesn't overthink it

Lu YaoYao finally spoke: "You don't need to tell me, I believe you."

Gu Ruan raised the corner of her lips but didn't say anything more.

Lu Yaoyao didn't ask him where he was taking her. After a while, she realized the car had stopped in front of a hotel. It was the same hotel they had been to before, where Gu Ruandong had a long-term suite.

They understood each other perfectly well. The moment she stepped into the room, Gu Ruandong pressed her against the door. He was too eager, his overcoat trampled by her high heels on the floor, and he took off her evening gown with practiced ease.emained silent. However, Cui Ning, his secretary beside him, was very enthusiastic and came up to greet her."Hello, Teacher Cheng.""Hello.""Our CEO, Zhuo Zong, came to Beijing on a business trip and w...
