Chapter 32: A Gentlemanly Scoundrel

If it weren’t for Jiang Shiqing receiving that document later, Gu Yan Zhi might have concealed it for a lifetime. Jiang Shiqing might never have known that she had turned the Gu residence upside down.

Gu Yan Zhi considered everything for her, holding her in the palm of his hand, shielding her from any gossip. But in the previous life, she was ungrateful, taking advantage of his love and acting recklessly, hurting those who truly cared for her, and elevating those who hurt her.

Gu Yan Zhi finished his work in the study and looked at the two people sitting on the sofa in the living room, “It’s time to sleep.”

He sat beside Ruan Yu, his large hand covering her delicate little hand. Ruan Yu smiled sweetly at him.

Jiang Shiqing felt that the scene was unbearable, she had been fed a mouthful of dog food, “I’m going to rest. I’m old, I can’t compare to you young people.”

After saying that, Jiang Shiqing went upstairs. She was old, she couldn’t stand to watch young people’s love affairs, and she didn’t want to be fed dog food right after dinner.

After Jiang Shiqing left, Gu Yan Zhi also took Ruan Yu back to their room, “What were you two talking about?” Gu Yan Zhi asked.

Ruan Yu smiled at him, “Auntie said you’re very excellent, you’re her pride, and she wants us to be together.”

Her lips held a sweet smile, making Gu Yan Zhi unable to take his eyes off her, “We’ll be together forever.”

Gu Yan Zhi’s words were firm. He reached out and hugged Ruan Yu in his arms, “I’ve already asked Yang Feng to take care of Mu Luoxi’s matter, don’t worry.”

“Yeah.” Ruan Yu nodded, she naturally trusted Gu Yan Zhi to handle things.

Gu Yan Zhi’s gaze burned as he stared at her lips, his voice husky, “I’ve taken care of things for A-Yu, how do you want to thank me? I’m a businessman, I don’t do business at a loss.”

Ruan Yu looked up at Gu Yan Zhi, only then did she realize that his eyes were filled with desire. She pushed against Gu Yan Zhi’s chest, but his strength was too great, she couldn’t break free.

“Trying to run?” Gu Yan Zhi curled his lips, leaning close to her ear, “Who said they wanted to scheme against me tonight? Tonight, Yan Zhi Ge Ge won’t move, let A-Yu come to me, okay?”

His warm breath sprayed on Ruan Yu’s neck, coupled with his words, her whole body tingled, and her face flushed red, “Gu Yan Zhi, you’re a scoundrel.”

She punched him hard on his chest, but her strength was like a tickle to Gu Yan Zhi.

“I’m only a scoundrel to A-Yu.”

Ruan Yu: “…”

Her face flushed red. Before, she hadn’t realized that this noble man in front of her was a gentlemanly scoundrel with his clothes on, and a beast without them, but it didn’t contradict his noble image at all.

Ruan Yu muttered, her thoughts spilling out, “A gentlemanly scoundrel.”

Gu Yan Zhi pinched Ruan Yu’s chin, forcing her to look at him, “Hmm? What did A-Yu say?”

Ruan Yu’s eyes darted away, his gaze was too intense, “Nothing, I said you’re handsome.”

She lied without blushing. Gu Yan Zhi curled his lips, his eyes filled with her, “Oh, really?”

Ruan Yu nodded, not wanting to get entangled in this topic, after all, she would be the one who would suffer in the end, “Gu Yan Zhi, let me go, I’m going to take a bath.”

Gu Yan Zhi not only didn’t let go, but he picked her up and walked into the bathroom.

Ruan Yu was startled by his actions, she hugged his neck and glared at him, “Gu Yan Zhi, what are you doing? Put me down.”

“We’ll bathe together.” Gu Yan Zhi closed the bathroom door and locked it, then gently placed Ruan Yu on the ground.

Ruan Yu was furious, “This is the old house, Gu Yan Zhi, can you be a little more restrained?”

“No.” Gu Yan Zhi said matter-of-factly.

Only then did Ruan Yu realize that this man was not only a gentlemanly scoundrel, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but also shameless.

Gu Yan Zhi stared at Ruan Yu’s luscious lips, he bit down hard. He had waited too long, he couldn’t help but want to eat her, swallow her whole, and become one with her.

At first, Ruan Yu pushed Gu Yan Zhi away, but she couldn’t push him away, instead, the kiss became more intense. In the end, she also immersed herself in his kiss, her slender arms wrapped around his neck, she began to respond to his passion.

The whole night, Ruan Yu was like a lone ship floating in the deep sea, a storm was coming, she was tossed and turned all night.

The next morning, Ruan Yu stood in front of the mirror, looking at the countless kiss marks on her neck, then she looked at Gu Yan Zhi at the door, his face full of smiles. She was furious, “Gu Yan Zhi, how am I supposed to go out and see people like this?”

Gu Yan Zhi looked like he didn’t care, Ruan Yu wanted to beat him up.

He walked behind Ruan Yu, hugged her, and rested his chin on her hair, his voice soft, “A-Yu was very cooperative last night, why are you blaming me now?”

Gu Yan Zhi’s words were shocking. At this moment, Ruan Yu just wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She broke free from his arms, pushed Gu Yan Zhi out of the bathroom, and locked the door.

She took out the concealer from her bag and tried her best to cover up the countless kiss marks on her neck.

After breakfast, Gu Yan Zhi went to the company, and Ruan Yu returned to the Gu residence.

A month had passed, Ruan Yu would make soup every day and send it to Jiang Shiqing. Every weekend, she would go back to the old house with Gu Yan Zhi and stay for a day. During this time, Jiang Shiqing’s attitude towards her had changed a little, she had softened a lot, and all the servants in the house had been called back.

That night, Ruan Yu received a call from Gu Yan Zhi, saying that he had an engagement and would be back later.

After Gu Yan Zhi hung up the phone, Ruan Yu felt a vague unease in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen, making her restless.

She searched her memories of this time period in the previous life. She remembered that during that time, Gu Yan Zhi once came home late at night and was attacked by his rivals, he was seriously injured and sent to the emergency room. At that time, she didn’t care at all, she even hoped he would die, then she would be free.

That’s what she thought at the time. When she finally got the news that the surgery was successful, she was secretly happy.

She must have already liked Gu Yan Zhi at that time, but she was stupid and didn’t realize it.

Because the memory was so long ago, she couldn’t be sure which day it was. But Gu Yan Zhi hadn’t come back for so long, she was uneasy.

She remembered the place where she was tricked, it was on the road down the mountain. She casually grabbed a jacket, put it on, ran out, and called a few bodyguards to accompany her down the mountain to find Gu Yan Zhi.

She walked down the mountain for about two hundred meters, and she heard the sound of fighting not far away. Ruan Yu was worried about Gu Yan Zhi’s safety, she ran towards the sound of fighting without hesitation, the bodyguards followed closely behind.

After walking another fifty meters, she saw Gu Yan Zhi under the dim streetlights, people in black uniforms were constantly attacking him, every move was deadly.

They were holding knives, steel pipes, and all sorts of sharp weapons.
