Chapter 19 Manta Rose She only hooked her fingers twice, and Lu Yanzhou…

Gu Qianyue's expression went completely out of control. Had Lu Yanzhou been drugged by Xia Weiwei?

She was 100% certain that Lu Yanzhou had appeared at the door just as Xia Weiwei accused her of using him.

Lu Yanzhou heard everything, so why is he still protecting Xia Weiwei!

Lu Yanzhou placed his hands on Xia Weiwei's shoulders, his gaze pressing down on her indifferently. He didn't need to say anything more; it was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"If anything were to happen to my wife, do you think you could walk out unscathed?"

"Ah Yue and Ah Ci are just playing around. It's normal for sisters to bicker occasionally," Gu Yousheng said with a smile, but the tense atmosphere only intensified.

Lu Yanzhou's gaze swept over everyone, and he smiled slightly, instantly easing the atmosphere.

Xia Weiwei suddenly realized that he was in control.

Lu Yanzhou released her, and her gaze fell on Lu Yanzhou's hand, then involuntarily followed Lu Yanzhou's back.

Lu Yanzhou walked towards Gu Qianyue.

She wondered if Lu Yanzhou had really heard what Gu Qianyue had just shouted.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

Everyone held their breath as Lu Yanzhou pressed down on the back of Gu Qianyue's neck with one hand, forcing her to walk out.

The words "Second Sister" and "A-Yue" echoed around them. Gu Xianyang and Gu Ning had only taken two steps when bodyguards rushed in from the door and stopped them.

Gu Qianyue's upper body was pushed over the railing on the eighteenth floor. Looking down at the ant-like people below, she felt dizzy and her legs trembled.

"Who is A-Yue, who is A-Ci?" The demonic echo reverberated in her ears, stirring up her deepest fears.

"explain!"

Its words resonated deeply, their force as powerful as a rainbow.

"I...I...I am Aci, and my older sister is Ayue!"

"Dad, Mom, and little brother, you should tell us too!"

"President Lu, President Lu, please don't be angry. It's all Aci's fault for angering my sister Ayue. You should apologize to your sister too." Gu Ning stretched out her hand, making a protective gesture.

"Sister, Aci knows he was wrong. Please ask President Lu to let me go."

"What Mr. Lu? I'm your brother-in-law now."

"Brother-in-law, it's brother-in-law."

Gu Qianyue's voice trembled as she turned to look behind her, suddenly realizing something.

After Lu Yanzhou appeared, not a single staff member from the 18th floor showed up.

She glanced again at Lu Yanzhou's indifferent yet arrogant face, her expression full of contempt.

Lu Yanzhou can definitely do it! Throw her down.

Back then, when she was studying in Australia, she saw his arrogance and confidence as he stood on a mountain of gold, showering green banknotes down on him. He thought that if he wanted to, he could trample the world under his feet.

From that moment on, Lu Yanzhou's image was etched in her heart.

But how did he become Xia Weiwei's husband?

Gu Qianyue felt resentful, but with her life in danger, her resentment was fleeting. Instead, she pleaded for mercy, sought forgiveness, and tried to find a way to survive.

Xia Weiwei had no intention of pleading for Gu Qianyue, nor did she want Lu Yanzhou to cause a death.

"I'm fine, she didn't shove me, didn't you come just in time?"

Xia Weiwei tugged at the hem of Lu Yanzhou's shirt on the back, and Lu Yanzhou looked over, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.

"That won't do either, she scared you."

"I'm not a child."

"You're just a child to me."

"Alright, you've scared them enough. We should go back now, or this will keep me from taking my afternoon nap."

Is taking a nap really that important...?

Everyone was speechless. Would Lu Yanzhou really let go of her just because she wanted to take a nap?

Xia Weiwei is an idiot.

Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment, said "that's true", grabbed Gu Qianyue, and threw her backward. Gu Qianyue fell heavily to the ground, and her exquisite updo fell apart.

"My wife pleaded for you, so remember how good she was to you."

This guy is a real bully. He clearly intimidates people, yet he expects others to remember his kindness.

"Now, Gu Yousheng, what should you call Gu Xianyue?"

Xian and Xian are homophones but different characters, but he knew that Lu Yanzhou was calling Xia Weiwei.

Now, he had no mind to blame Lu Yanzhou for not calling him "Dad".

"Ah Yue, Ah Yue."

Lu Yanzhou then looked at the other members of the Gu family. Gu Ning responded to A Yue, and Gu Xianyang respectfully called her "elder sister."

As for Li Xue...

“Li Xue, your daughter is being bullied and you don’t even stand by her side. You are not qualified to be A Yue’s mother, and you are not worthy of A Yue calling you Mom.”

Xia Weiwei's gaze did not linger on Li Xue.

After this meal, she essentially severed ties with the Gu family.

There's nothing left to cherish about this home.

On the way back, Xia Weiwei stared out the car window, her mind flashing back to how Li Xue had abandoned her at the Gu family home, how Gu Ning had left with everyone, leaving her alone in the empty, dark villa, how her eighth birthday was celebrated with a fish, how Gu Qianyue had filled her fish with wasabi and made her finish it, and how she could never touch a fish again after that…

There were so many memories, but in the end, my mind was fixed on Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou took her hand and walked forward, as the lights around them lit up one by one.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her thoughts returned to her. She saw Lu Yanzhou's face in the car window.

Was he watching her the whole time?

Xia Weiwei turned around, and Lu Yanzhou's eyes met hers.

He was very gentle, yet strangely, as if he was suppressing something.

"What's wrong?" Xia Weiwei asked first.

Lu Yanzhou's lips twitched a few times before he finally asked her if she enjoyed the meal, except for the end.

She thought about it carefully, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"I'm very happy."

"that is……"

Her smile no longer seemed so insincere.

"It would be better if that garlic-smelling kiss wasn't there."

"Lu Yanzhou, I swear in my heart that I will never kiss you again."

The cold, damp feeling would never again linger between Lu Yanzhou's lips and teeth, emanating from his body.

This doesn't suit Lu Yanzhou's personality; he's arrogant and unruly.

The car was stopped at a red light, and the partition hadn't been raised yet. The man stretched out his long arm and precisely grabbed the girl's neck.

"What did you do..."

Xia Weiwei only managed to utter two words before Lu Yanzhou's burning lips pressed against hers.

Her pupils dilated. How could he...?

The two kissed so many times that Lu Yanzhou was always one step ahead of Xia Weiwei in anticipating her every move.

Lu Yanzhou grasped both of her hands with one hand and raised them high.

"Mr. Lu, Old Master Lu is calling..."

As Zhang Quan spoke, he turned around and saw his boss, Mr. Lu, kissing a young woman while she was pinned against the back of a chair.

Xia Weiwei met Zhang Quan's gaze from afar, her toes curling up.

"You, you, you, you...!"

Her lips could only manage to squeeze out the word "you," but that gave the man the opportunity to push his luck.

His thick tongue pressed in, and Xia Weiwei let out a soft moan as the man swallowed it, the barrier slowly rising.

It was Zhang Quan who helped them lift it up.

Zhang Quan had never seen such a scene before. In his mind, Lu Yanzhou was calm and composed, and he was at ease with women.

Just now, President Lu clearly lost control.

That's insane!

The light turned green, and the car slowly started moving. He heard a crisp slap behind him, and a man's low, panting laughter.

"Wife, you hit me again."

"You taught me."

"Are you using all your tricks on me alone?"

Lu Yanzhou sat with his legs crossed, his shirt unbuttoned at some point, with only the last button remaining, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air, and a strong sense of desire.

Xia Weiwei's mind was still filled with Zhang Quan's face; it was so embarrassing.

She didn't hear a word Lu Yanzhou said.

Her eyes were blankly fixed on the partition, as if she wished she could turn back the clock ten minutes.

She shouldn't have said that.

As Xia Weiwei thought about it, she glared angrily at Lu Yanzhou. The mischievousness in Lu Yanzhou's eyes disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

"Lu Yanzhou, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yanzhou didn't speak, but suddenly approached like a tornado.

At this moment, she is in the eye of the storm.

Xia Weiwei felt a little breathless under the gaze, so she shifted her gaze and saw the man's well-defined abs.

"That's not how you wear clothes; you have to button them up."

She feels much less stressed when she talks to herself.

Lu Yanzhou didn't move, letting her button his clothes one by one.

“Xia Wei…”

The car stopped just as he decided to speak.

We've arrived at the hotel entrance.

"What?" Xia Weiwei asked him without looking up as she buttoned the second-to-last button.

"Don't tie it anymore. Tie it back in your room, and I'll make you untie it again."

What!

Why do we need to solve it?

They wouldn't do that kind of thing!

Suddenly, Xia Weiwei saw Lu Yanzhou and her face tightened.

Could it be another way?

He's so shameless!

Xia Weiwei glanced at him, turned around, and got out of the car.

Lu Yanzhou stared blankly at the increasingly smaller figure, then quickly chased after it.

In the car, Lu Yanzhou occupied all her attention. Back at the hotel, she had no plans for the afternoon and didn't intend to go out, so she removed her makeup, went to the sofa, and opened her phone, only to see that True Love Perfume had officially announced her as their spokesperson.

It was finally announced. When she logged out of Weibo, she accidentally saw the posting time: 12:37.

Wasn't that during mealtime?

Lu Yanzhou mentioned this at the dinner table, saying that the True Love perfume was announced without even being scheduled for the exact hour or half-hour.

[I've discovered that the chairman of True Love Perfume has become a human! Who is Gu Xianyue?]

I don't know which fan went and analyzed the structure of the "third eye" in the True Love perfume.

Bystanders, fans, haters, solo stans, and career-oriented fans all said they had no idea.

Gu Xianyue is herself.

“Since you’ve chosen to be a star, don’t use your real name. Your father has analyzed it for you, and your real name is not conducive to your acting career.”

Gu Yousheng said with a friendly smile that he always had a smile on his face, saying things that disgusted her and doing things that annoyed her.

She was eager to stand out at the time, and she disagreed with Gu Yousheng's decision not to allow his daughter to show her face in public like that.

If she succeeds in becoming a top influencer, that's fine; if she fails, she'll be criticized.

So many people rise and fall in the entertainment industry—

Xia Weiwei felt a thick stone pressing on her chest. The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the blinds, illuminating an inch in front of the sofa, and the residual heat warmed her comfortably.

I'm dizzy from carbon dioxide.

Lu Yanzhou swiped his card to enter the room and headed straight for the bedroom. Halfway there, he noticed someone on the sofa and looked over.

The girl's chestnut-brown wavy hair was casually scattered on the sofa, her phone lay on the blanket in front of the sofa, her breathing was even, and dappled sunlight reflected off her nose.

Beautiful and bright.

Lu Yanzhou leaned against the display counter, gazing at her.

As the sun began to set, the sunlight moved inch by inch, and just as the girl was about to be exposed to the sun, he smiled through his grim expression and picked her up.

"No one can take advantage of me, not even my wife." The man stared at her with icy, cold eyes.

Before she could speak, Gu Qianyue grabbed her neck with both hands.

"Gu Xianyue, you deliberately slept with Lu Yanzhou to get revenge on me."

“Lu Yanzhou knows everything. He knows that you used him as a tool, as a knife.”

"Gu Xianyue, you vicious woman, if the baby knew what kind of person her mother was, she would probably want to die in your belly."

No!

Xia Weiwei trembled as she looked at Gu Qianyue's approaching face. She had only... only...

She covered her ears with both hands and backed away. Behind her was a transparent wall that blocked her way, forcing her to slowly squat down against the corner of the wall.

"Gu Xianyue, I wish you give birth to a stillborn child."

Suddenly, Xia Weiwei's eyes turned fierce. She was the one who bullied her first. It wasn't enough that she bullied her alone, she also had to bully her baby!

Xia Weiwei straightened up and lunged forward.

She's going to fight Gu Qianyue to the death!

Suddenly, Gu Qianyue's figure vanished. She looked around and saw Lu Yanzhou.

"Gu Xianyue, I know now. You slept with me to get revenge on me." The man's face was cold and devoid of warmth.

No...it is...

People instinctively defend themselves, but Xia Weiwei knew she had let Lu Yanzhou down.

Suddenly, Xia Weiwei opened her eyes, staring at the deathly white ceiling, her sweat silently evaporating.

She had never celebrated her birthday before she turned eighteen.

From eighteen to twenty years old, her birthday was a transaction; she would throw a huge birthday banquet as a means for Gu Yousheng to negotiate business.

From the age of twenty-one to twenty-three, she rose to fame, and her birthday celebrations turned into birthday parties.

Her twenty-fourth birthday was a special birthday that she earned for herself.

Therefore, she flew to the port city, turned off her mobile phone, and cut off all contact with the outside world.

We booked a room near a waterfall deep in the mountains.

Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, the waterfall cascades down from above, whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

The frustration I had been holding in had been washed away—it feels so good!

Her future will also be just as boundless.

Gu Qianyue barged into her room without warning, ruined her birthday cake, and spoke rudely to her.

Gu Qianyue's words were unbearable to hear, but she was used to it. However, that day she even popped the birthday balloons that Gu Qianyue had decorated.

After Gu Qianyue left, the ground was in a mess.

It seems that her life has been ruined ever since, and she has been living in Gu Qianyue's shadow.

How did Gu Qianyue find him?

Her birthday was still not over. She changed to a room that was completely empty, drank a few bottles of wine, and when she went out to throw away the bottles, she saw Lu Yanzhou about to open the door to the next room.

"Gu Xianyue, you've got a good eye for choosing a spot. Coming to Hong Kong, I can scold you and still have a chance to see Lu Yanzhou."

"Thank you." Gu Qianyue tilted her head innocently and walked out of the room.

Gu Qianyue, you want Lu Yanzhou to be your boyfriend, right? Well, I'm sorry.

She made the biggest move of her life, with the greatest malice, and beckoned to Lu Yanzhou with her finger.

She was determined to risk everything; if Lu Yanzhou didn't come over, she would throw herself at him.

Things went more smoothly than she had expected.

She only needed to beckon with her fingers twice before Lu Yanzhou walked over.

After that, whenever she invited Lu Yanzhou, he would come.

She clearly remembered one time when she had no plans to meet Lu Yanzhou, but Gu Qianyue hinted that she was going to see Lu Yanzhou, so she made the appointment, leaving Gu Qianyue disappointed.

She's so bad.

Lu Yanzhou was such a good person, yet she took advantage of him.

Xia Weiwei took a deep breath, slept for a while, and her mind became clear.

On the way back, Lu Yanzhou hesitated several times before speaking.

While she was arguing with Gu Qianyue at the restaurant, Gu Qianyue mentioned Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou should have been there at that time; he should have known everything.

Xia Weiwei sat up, looked around, and found herself in bed.

"Lu Yanzhou?"

She called out and waited for three seconds, but no one answered.

It's normal that Lu Yanzhou isn't home; he still needs to work.

Xia Weiwei got up and found her phone on the sofa.

She was about to make a phone call, wanting to tell Lu Yanzhou everything, even though she didn't understand why he didn't expose her when he already knew she had ulterior motives for approaching him.

Her phone screen was still on the Weibo page she had posted before falling asleep. She refreshed it, and the words #LuYanzhouNewLove# caught her eye.

She gasped for breath as a loud door slammed shut behind her, followed by the strong smell of alcohol.

She turned around and met Lu Yanzhou's intense yet cold gaze.
