Chapter 19 : Is it really the person from that night?

  • When Su Luoluo arrived at the hospital room, she saw Gu Tingjun leaning against the bed.
  • The warm sunlight outside the window cast a golden glow on his distinct features.
  • People say that serious men are the most handsome.
  • Good-looking and serious men...
  • "Madam, you finally came," Gu Bai said as he saw Su Luoluo and hurriedly spoke.
  • Su Luoluo walked in.
  • Gu Tingjun still had an IV needle in his left arm. When he heard the sound, he looked up with a puzzled and displeased expression, as if asking why she had come.
  • Su Luoluo pursed her lips and walked over, taking the documents from Gu Tingjun's hand directly.
  • "What's going on?"
  • Her temperament was icy.
  • Gu Bai explained, "It's all because... Mr. Gu has been working too hard recently, compressing a week's worth of work into three days, not eating properly, staying up late, and drinking coffee when tired, so..."
  • After Gu Bai finished explaining, he saw the cold gaze from Gu Tingjun, like a winter chill, and hurriedly said goodbye.
  • The room was now only left with the two of them.
  • Gu Tingjun had never been controlled like this before. His face darkened, and his voice carried a hint of coldness. "Give it back to me."
  • Su Luoluo ignored him and instead picked up the medical record and examination results on the table. Her younger brother had been hospitalized for two years, and although she wasn't a doctor, she understood many things.
  • He even had a stomach bleeding, yet he was still mistreating his own body like this!
  • "Gu Tingjun, do you know that drinking coffee on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach?"
  • "It's none of your business."
  • "..."
  • Su Luoluo choked.
  • She rushed over as soon as she received a call from her older brother. This guy actually said it's none of her business?
  • She thought they had been getting along harmoniously these past few days...
  • In a way, they had shared the same bed.
  • "Gu Tingjun, does Gu Corporation, with such a large industry, really need you to work so hard? You completed a week's worth of work in three days. Do you not value your own life? And what will you do with the remaining four days?"
  • Su Luoluo blurted out without thinking.
  • After saying it, she realized she had overstepped her boundaries.
  • She was being too meddlesome.
  • Her face turned red in an instant, and she couldn't say anything.
  • "Stay and take care of Tang Ran."
  • "..."
  • The man's words were like a strong medicine.
  • Su Luoluo immediately felt dizzy and her eyes became red, filled with a sourness.
  • For the sake of giving Tang Ran a perfect date, this man compressed a week's worth of work into three days, even if he had a stomach bleeding, he still insisted on working in the hospital bed...
  • Su Luoluo suddenly realized that she seemed to no longer understand him.
  • She had originally thought that Gu Tingjun, like most playboys, only played with women in the entertainment industry.
  • But in the past month, Tang Ran's resources had clearly improved.
  • She was radiant.
  • There was tenderness and indulgence in the man's eyes. "Give me back the contract."
  • "I won't."
  • "Su Luoluo." Gu Tingjun's tone became heavier.
  • Su Luoluo didn't give in at all. In front of Gu Tingjun, she tore the contract into pieces and then brought a bowl of porridge to him.
  • Su Luoluo said, "Eat."
  • "Su Luoluo! Do you know how important that document is? You can't afford the consequences."
  • "Then let's talk about it when you're better. Even if you want to pursue a girl, you need to have a life first."
  • Su Luoluo didn't care about the document that she had thrown into the trash can. Usually, there would be backups for such documents. She didn't believe that Gu Tingjun wouldn't sign the document now.
  • With a delicate face, she raised the bowl and chopsticks and personally fed him.
  • Veins popped on Gu Tingjun's forehead.
  • "Eat quickly, I don't want to become a widow."
  • "..."
  • His stomach started to ache again. Gu Tingjun hadn't been eating properly these past few days and had been relying on coffee to survive. Even though he had been exercising regularly before, he couldn't endure it anymore.
  • He had no choice but to lower his head and take a small bite.
  • After swallowing that bite, Su Luoluo handed him the next one.
  • In this way, he finished half of the bowl.
  • Her stubbornness, her refusal to give in, her determination, and the scent that lingered on her when she got close... they all reminded him of the woman from that night...
  • Why did he feel such familiarity towards her?
  • Gu Tingjun's eyebrows gradually furrowed.
  • He hoarsely said, "Su Luoluo..."
  • "Do you have anything else to say?"
  • Gu Tingjun's pitch-black eyes were as deep as a cold pool. He straightened his body and said, "When we first met, why did you appear at the hotel?"
  • "I..."
  • A trace of pain flashed in the girl's eyes. She bit her lip and couldn't say a word.
  • Under Gu Tingjun's questioning, she trembled and said, "I was framed by the person closest to me, so that day..."
  • Gu Tingjun held his breath and stared at her intently.
  • But Su Luoluo just forced a smile, her eyes filled with tears, stubbornly biting her lip and refusing to say anything more.
  • Seeing the conflict and pain in her eyes, Gu Tingjun's heart gradually suffocated.
  • "Su Luoluo, were you bullied by a man?"
  • The man's question made her feel ashamed. Su Luoluo's heart started to beat irregularly. She shook her head in panic, "No, no, please don't ask anymore!"
  • "Su Luoluo!"
  • Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Gu Bai stuck his head in. "President, you two..."
  • Su Luoluo seized this opportunity and immediately pushed away Gu Tingjun, who was pressing her with questions... and hurriedly fled.
  • Gu Tingjun felt the lingering warmth on his fingertips and his gaze suddenly darkened.
  • "President, what's going on? It seems like Madam was crying."
  • Gu Tingjun gave Gu Bai a sharp look and said in a calm voice, "Gu Bai, do something for me right away. Find someone to investigate Su Luoluo's every move from morning till night on the day we went to City A. I want to know everything!"
