Shu, I have a question about acting as a guarantor for someone."Just as he was about to recount the details, Shu Tinglan directly replied."Sorry, my free consultations are limited to twice. If you ne...Ruannuan saw his stunned expression, her heart ached. She had hit the nail on the head.

"Lu Kuo, go back. Think it through carefully, do you love me, or do you just think we're a good match"

In short, I'm sorry for upsetting you before. I thought I was strong enough, but apparently not. I also want to be loved steadfastly.

”

Lu Kuai didn't know how he got home. Every word she said was true. He did want to settle down, and she fit his requirements perfectly. She was obedient, never caused trouble, and it felt very safe being with her.

But is that all there is to it There are plenty of girls who would be more suitable for marriage than she is. If he wanted to, he could find one in an instant.

Therefore, his dealings with her went far beyond mere suitability.

Ruantuan originally thought that she had made her point clear just now, and they probably wouldn't contact each other again in the future. However, after a while, his message suddenly appeared on her phone: "Teacher Gu is indeed Teacher Gu, a master at changing the subject."

"Huh" Ruan Ruan was confused and sent three question marks.

Lu Kuo replied, "I almost got tricked by you."

”

Ruan Ruan waited for him to reply, but after sending those two inexplicable messages, he didn't send anything else.

Finally falling asleep in the wee hours, she was wrapped comfortably in the warmth of the old house. Being her childhood home, it felt familiar and welcoming, allowing her to sleep soundly until almost 8 am. Suddenly, a rustling sound from outside her door reached her ears, startling her. She quickly opened the door and saw Lu Kuo arranging breakfast on the table.

He seemed as if nothing had happened, even proudly saying: "I brought you breakfast from home. I guess you wouldn't have ordered takeout before the new year was a few hours old."

”

This is a special dish he secretly had the housemaid make just for him.

,came in a thermos.

On New Year's Day, most restaurants are closed, so she probably couldn't get breakfast.

Ruan Ruan wasn't ungrateful. She turned and went to the bathroom to freshen up, then said thank you and silently sat down at the table to eat. She couldn't figure out what had gotten into him; this kind of thoughtful gesture didn't seem like something he would do.

Opposite her, Lu Kuò kept staring at her. His gaze made her heart race, so she lowered her head and started eating quickly. But he had brought too much food; she couldn't possibly finish it all. So, out of politeness, she tried to take a few bites of everything.

"As for the rest, I'll save it for lunch."

”

Lu Kuo reached out and took the breakfast in front of her, placing it in front of himself. "Ruan Ruan," he said, "I didn't eat breakfast either. This is for two people."

”

Ruan Ruan's face flushed red. Was he doing this on purpose She retorted, "You didn't say so earlier!"

Then, I saw Lu Kuo taking a spoon and chopsticks, unceremoniously eating what she had just left behind.

She quickly snatched it and said, "I'll order takeout for you. There's a KFC next door that's still open."

”

I don't eat junk food.

He then took back her breakfast from in front of her.

: "I'm not fully recovered from my cold, don't catch it from me.">

”

"Do you have a cold" He leaned up and reached out to touch her forehead, but she moved back slightly, avoiding his touch.

It's almost done.

”

Lu Kuo retracted his hand and looked at her again: "Take advantage of the holiday, I'll invite a doctor to give you a full physical examination."

”

His sudden seriousness and attention made Ruanruan feel uncomfortable. After a long silence, she finally spoke.

“Lu Kuo, you don’t have to force yourself.”

”

“Reluctantly No one can force me, Lu Kuo, to do things I don't want to do.”

“This person, pride is truly everywhere.”

Then Ruanruan fell silent.

She made it very clear last night, she said for him to take some time and really think about their relationship. What she wants is a clear answer, not this ambiguous back-and-forth they've been having. So this time, she's holding onto her heart, keeping it from racing again.

After the two finished breakfast, Ruanruan's phone suddenly rang. It was a number she hadn't contacted for a long time. The note was "Aunt", Gu Ruandong's mother.

The moment the phone was answered, her warm voice came through: "Ruan Ruan, it's your aunt."

”

Ruan Ruan politely responded and waited for the other person to speak again.

"Ruannuan, where are you Why aren't you coming home for the New Year this year"

"Mother-in-law, I'm in Senzhou this year and will be on duty. "

She didn't want her aunt to know she was spending the New Year in Beijing. Now, she had a primal instinct of resistance towards relatives and elders, especially those with whom she had no emotional foundation. A sudden phone call from someone like that must surely mean they needed something.

"Well, you should take a break. Your aunt will buy you a ticket to come back and stay for two days. Your uncle said he's going to visit your grandfather and father's graves in two days. You haven't been there in a long time."

”

Auntie mentioned that she wanted to sweep the graves for grandpa and dad. She hesitated for a moment, then immediately said on her side: "Then it's settled! Come back tomorrow, and I'll have Auntie cook you a delicious meal."

”

"Auntie, besides visiting Grandpa and Dad's graves, is there anything else"

It's no wonder she asked that. Her aunt has always been cold towards her. It was probably because, back then, grandpa favored her father more, and after her father passed away, grandpa doted on her even more, looking down on Gu Ruandong a little. So, her aunt held a grudge against her and treated her indifferently.

"I was thinking, you and YaoYao are good friends, you come tomorrow and tell YaoYao"

It's also called getting together, it's more lively when the whole family is together.

Mrs. Gu didn't shy away from it at all.

"Mother-in-law, I will go back tomorrow."

>>>Yao Yao, you can give her a call yourself.e the relationship.As he was walking towards his front door, after getting off the elevator, he suddenly stopped and looked at her:"I am very busy with my work usually.""Huh" she said, confused.I've o...
