Part Two: Eastland Sugar #13: Dinner Party
"Zhuo Yu'an's face changed suddenly: "Did you look into her background Regardless of whether my relationship with her is just friendship, even if we were really dating, what right do you have to inves...So, was the toast just now out of guilt for not inviting them to the wedding, or was it a way to make them be polite to the young lady
Gu Ruandong wore a mischievous smirk, as if to say: Guess!
They've figured it out. If they dared to speak rudely to this young lady today, they would be asking for trouble.
As a man, one should be able to bend and stretch. So, he immediately put on a new smile and politely introduced himself to Lu Yaoyao.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Xu Ze Fang. I've heard so much about you. This one's for you, please enjoy it."
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Jin Haoyu...."
"Hello, sister-in-law. I am..."
"Sister-in-law..."
One after another, the voices of "Sister-in-Law" rang out. Lu Yaoyao felt dizzy, unable to remember a single name. But it didn't matter; she knew they probably didn't expect her to remember. So, she maintained a sweet smile on her face and moved closer to Gu Ruandong's side, feigning intimacy.
They introduced her, and she nodded and smiled, saying "hello hello," not taking a sip of the juice in her hand.
Probably only Xiao Cai was the most clear-headed on the field. After all, he had gone head-to-head with this young lady a few times and hadn't gotten the upper hand, not to mention how much Gu Shao protected her. So today, he completely stayed out of it, even instructing the kitchen to prepare a separate meal for this young lady to be served to her.
Chen Xinmin and Wang looked at Xiao Cai, their eyes held only one meaning: traitor.
Lu Yaoyao remained calm and composed, sitting there slowly savoring her meal. Since she was called "big sister-in-law," she had to act like one.
This group of friends didn't dare to make things difficult for her. Today, Gu Ruandong was willing to treat them to a meal and toast them, so the matter was dropped. Finally, I don't know who started it, and they wanted them to drink a toast.
Toast
It seems like we didn't have a toast at the wedding.
Lu Yaoyao looked up at Gu Ruandong beside her. He seemed in a good mood tonight, with a smile playing on his lips. He poured a little red wine into her glass gracefully, filling his own halfway.
He handed her a glass of wine and clasped her arm, making the gesture for a toast, but he didn't lower his head to drink for a long time. He just looked at her, his eyes filled with laughter and affection, like this red wine that made people intoxicated. Lu Yao yao's heart beat faster. After being together for so long, whenever he looked at her like this, she would blush and feel flustered, a little unbearable. She pulled her hand away and drank first, lowering her head. Gu Ruandong also lowered his head to take a sip at the same time, a real toast.
Everyone was cheering, it was rare to see such tenderness from Young Master Gu.
Lu Yaoyao faced this scene, was her face thin a little, she finished the wine in a hurry and pulled her hand back, putting the cup on the table. Just as she put it down, Gu Ruandong used a little more force again, pulling her into his arms. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he leaned down and kissed her.
She was so cute, he couldn't help himself.
The aroma of her lips lingered, and it was with reluctance that they parted. Lu Yaoyao buried her face in his chest, blushing crimson so intensely she couldn't meet his gaze. Gu Ruandong continued to hold her back, gently patting her.
Have these people never seen anything before
But Gu Ruandong's affectionate look was something she had never seen before. Could it be that their Young Master Gu has truly reformed
This was Gu Ruandong's first time formally introducing Yaoya to them. Because he valued their friendship, and also to avoid them disturbing her privately out of curiosity or other reasons.
This was probably the last time, he didn't really want YaoYao to be part of his past circle. He would do everything he could to protect her world, keeping it bright and clean.
As they left Baoli Club, a night breeze brought a slight chill. The group, slightly tipsy from their drinks, bid farewell to the couple at the door. A few of them, eyeing Lu Yaoyao by his side, said with playful laughter, "Sister-in-law, see you another day."
In the car, the slightly inebriated group seemed to sober up instantly, sitting with blank expressions. The lights outside the window flashed across their faces.
"Is Shao Gu into being abused To have a little princess like this cater to him"
"I've looked into the Lu family's background. What game is Mr. Gu playing here Is it related to that factory in the west"
In their eyes, Gu Ruandong was a ruthless person, with a roguish and sinister side. He would never have a tender side. No matter what he did, it was always with a purpose. The more he invested in something, the greater the return.
Several people fell silent, none continuing the conversation.
The atmosphere in the car was somber, and finally, someone, unknown to the rest, suddenly uttered:
"Bao Sang is coming out."
"Isn't there still a year"
"Great job, early release!"
She didn't let him talk to Mr. Gu.
---
Here, Gu Ruandong and Lu Yaoyao also got into the car. Lu Yaoyao leaned her head on his shoulder:
"Brother, I think I'd rather not associate with your friends anymore."
She expressed her thoughts clearly. Before coming today, she was eager to join his circle and be friends with his friends. However, after the meal, she felt that she couldn't fit in and that it wasn't necessary to force it; they were from completely different worlds.
Tried it, never mind.
Gu Ruandong brought her into his arms: "Okay, no more contact from now on."
He himself is consciously reducing the frequency of his interactions. He won't forget the years they spent working together, and he will still be the first to help if any of them encounter difficulties, but he tries to avoid socializing as much as possible in his daily life.
“Today I went to the company, Haojie got me a role in a play.”
She reported truthfully and then looked up at his reaction. Today, she had assured him at work that she would take on the job. Why should she need Gu Ruan Dong's approval
But after all, they were husband and wife. The fact that he had acted first and then told her made her feel a little guilty.
He looked at her with a darkened gaze and bit softly on her earlobe. "Yao Yao, are you already going to abandon your new husband"
The warm breath and teasing voice didn't seem angry at all, Yao Yao let out a sigh of relief and then explained:
"I'm filming on Senzhou right now, and I've been trying to go home every day unless it's a night shoot."
His lips moved forward, murmuring an almost inaudible 'mm' before kissing her.
It's fine if they stay with the crew, he'll accompany her.
After Lu Yaoyao joined the crew, she started to regret it because a large part of this short drama was filmed at night.
She glared at Haojie, "Why didn't you say so earlier"
"Honey, you've read the script yourself. Many scenes clearly state they are filmed at night."
Aww, she was caught up in the plot at the time and didn't notice that.
Because the male protagonist's split personality mostly appears at night, most of their scenes together were filmed at night.
“I’ll coordinate with the director and try to finish filming before 11 pm in the first half of the night. You’ll still be able to make it home.” Sister Hao promised.
Lu YaoYao nodded, the fruit she planted, she could only eat it herself. There was no way around it, she had to accept this fact.
Fortunately, the film crew is in Senzhou, not too far from Yihao Huating Villa, which is quite convenient.p down that if he suddenly spoke now, it would only frighten her more. 。As he was contemplating how to get over there, Shu Tinglan suddenly turned her head to look at him, her expression tense and ter...
