It wasn't until Gu Mingzhen spoke on stage for a full ten minutes that she asked Luo Wanqing to step down and leave.
The joints that she held tightly to the hem of her skirt turned white from excessive exertion, and she approached Gu Lanchen with lowered eyes.
After getting to the man's side, she felt a lot more at ease.
"Tsk." The mocking voice of the woman beside him sounded, and Luo Wanqing realized that she was so close to Sun Miaomiao.
The ridicule in Gu Mingzhen's eyes just now flashed across her eyes. She just wanted to escape from here.
"Second uncle, I..." Luo Wanqing bit her lower lip and spoke, looking at the man as if asking for help.
But the next second, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her white little hands.
She raised her eyes, and the man was also looking towards her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The deep voice flowed into her heart like red wine, and Luo Wanqing instantly felt at ease.
But Gu Lanchen kept looking at the little girl beside him with his peripheral vision, feeling a trace of distress in his heart.
Before she came to the Gu family, she was a little girl who was loved by thousands of people, and she was like the apple of the eye in the Luo family.
Thinking of the fact that the little girl had never been wronged, but was constantly being looked down upon by everyone in the Gu family, Gu Lanchen began to doubt whether it was the right decision to bring her here.
His big hands tightened, the girl's big deer-like eyes were looking at him wetly, and the aura around Gu Lanchen instantly became cold and hard.
He turned sideways and cast a warning look at Sun Miaomiao.
Sun Miaomiao shut up instantly.
After the dinner, Gu Lanchen took Luo Wanqing and left directly without any intention of staying.
At the door, a low-key extended Lincoln was parked in the center.
"Master, Miss Luo, please get in the car." The driver opened the door respectfully.
Luo Wanqing's skirt had a very long skirt. She carefully lifted the hem of the skirt, but the high heels she stepped on seemed to be disobedient and slipped on the edge.
Her feet were unsteady and she instantly fell towards the man beside her.
"What kind of wealthy family drama is this?"
"If I hadn't known that it was Luo Wanqing, I would have been prepared to have a relationship with a wealthy family!"
"What are you talking about? Isn't she super scheming? Who can fall down when getting in the car?"
…
Gu Lanshen ignored the small voices behind him, took the little girl into his arms with a pair of strong arms, and then straightened her up and put her in the car.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Luo Wanqing's eyes. For a moment, the man's unique cedar scent surrounded her and then disappeared instantly.
As the smell disappeared, her heart seemed to feel empty.
Before Gu Lanchen got into the car, he looked at the ladies he had just discussed with his peripheral vision and quickly looked away.
"Lin Han, those families who were gossiping just now, go and cancel some small cooperations."
Gu Lanchen sat down in the back seat and ordered in a cold voice. Even the air pressure seemed to have dropped a lot.
"Yes, Mr. Gu." Lin Han subconsciously glanced at the King of Hell from the rearview mirror, but was forced to quickly look away after being swept away by the cold knife.
Good guy, you read that right! In order to vent his anger on Miss Luo, the CEO actually canceled several small cooperations!
In the back seat, Luo Wanqing was leaning down and rubbing his white ankles.
"You can take it off if you feel too tired." Gu Lan raised his head, picked up the document beside him and looked at it carefully.
Luo Wanqing paused for a moment, then sat upright as if nothing had happened.
The movements are elegant and noble like a kitten.
She turned a blind eye to the fact that the man helped her vent her anger just now, because now she had other things to be angry about.
Luo Wanqing spoke in a relaxed tone, staring at Gu Lanchen with curved eyebrows, "Second uncle, have I died once before?"
Although she still had some expectations in her heart, when she saw Gu Lanchen's beautiful fingertips that were almost invisible, Luo Wanqing knew that she had lost the bet.
Perhaps, nothing Su Mu said was false.
After a long time, Gu Lanchen raised his eyes slightly and said in a low and sexy voice, "Who are you listening to?"
He tilted his head and cast his gentle gaze on Luo Wanqing. His slender hands brushed the girl's hair around her ears.
Just a small movement, Keluo Wanqing's eyes instantly became moist.
She looked out the window and forced herself not to shed tears.
Gu Lanchen noticed her stubbornness and sighed secretly, with a gentle voice, "No, stop thinking about it, I will protect you well."
The girl only left him the back of her head. He stared closely at her furry head, but seemed to be looking at another person through her.
Luo Wanqing wanted to turn around and give him a comforting smile, but happened to catch the man's dazed gaze.
She looked back again in surprise, feeling even stranger.
When Luo Wanqing was in the Luo family, he was raised as the apple of his eye. He had a sweet mouth since he was a child, and he was also beautiful. He was loved by almost everyone.
But as she grew up, some things changed. People who met her would belittle her and ridicule her, and there were also many people who hated her.
Luo Wanqing stared out the window with cold eyes, and her vision gradually became blurred.
Grandpa and grandma, Wan Qing really misses you. When you are away, Wan Qing can only protect herself.
After returning, Luo Wanqing locked himself in the house and said he was going to bed first.
When she woke up the next morning, she felt energetic again.
The girl was wearing a white cotton nightgown, her freshly washed little face was glowing white, the skirt was very long, and only a small piece of her ankle exposed was white and smooth.
"Uncle Lin Han, I studied a new acupuncture method last night, let me try it on you first!" Luo Wanqing's eyes curved into crescents, his gaze sincere.
Lin Han's words of rejection came to his lips but he couldn't say them out. He could only look for help at Gu Lanchen, who was leisurely watching the show not far away.
The man didn't take it seriously at all. He stretched out his hand to button one button on his black silk pajamas and went to the study.
Lin Han:?Save
never mind.
Within ten minutes, Gu Lanchen appeared, and a deep voice sounded in the room, "Have breakfast."
Luo Wanqing took out the needles one by one and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Lin, you are such a good person."
Lin Han smiled and waved his hand, thinking: I will really thank you.
After she walked slowly to the restaurant, the man at the head table had already taken a seat at the dining table.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was less depressing than before, and Luo Wanqing's mood also improved.
She chose the chair closest to Gu Lanchen and sat down, picked up a small steamed bun and took a bite.
The delicious food hit her taste buds, and Luo Wanqing squinted her eyes happily, like a little fox.
The little girl's well-behaved look was particularly comfortable in his eyes. Gu Lanchen withdrew his gaze and began to eat.
Not far away, Lin Han held a piece of information in his hand and was hesitating whether to step forward.
"Just tell me if you have anything." Gu Lan raised his head, but his tone was full of the majesty of a superior.
Lin Han had no choice but to approach and report respectfully, "In the past few days, our people have been secretly investigating Zhou Yongcun's flaws, but we still have not collected evidence that he murdered the Luo family."
