Part Two: The Great Sugar of Eastern Land, Chapter 133

nced at Lu Kuo beside her and smiled: "No, I'm telling the truth."Lu Kuò is handsome, and his casual and carefree temperament makes him even more attractive. Besides, he's the son of the chairman of T...What's up

Zhao Tingxing seemed to think for a moment before remembering who this name belonged to, it was the woman that Da An had mentioned, the one who had caused him to stumble once.

To say that I'm to blame is indeed not wrong.

A childhood sweetheart, a first love where I truly poured my heart out. But back then, he was a penniless boy with a bad temper, and it's understandable that the girl couldn't stand him and left him.

I was down for a while, and it eventually passed. But ever since then, I've only gone through with women physically, not emotionally.

It's not that I'm deeply in love or still thinking about her, it's just that I think making money is more interesting than women. And with money, any kind of woman is available to me.

A few years ago, Han Li had come to look for him. What impressed him was that after leaving him, she didn't rely on rich men but instead supported herself. She went back to school, found a job, started a business, and even established her own architectural design company, managing dozens of people. It's quite inspiring.

The purpose of seeking him out was to reconcile.

She said, "I'm not short of money now, I didn't come to you for money. It's just because I still love you."

Zhao Tingxing has refrained from talking about love for many years, saying "I don't look back."

Back then, I wasn't deeply in love. Now, after all these years and experiences, having slept with so many women, talking about love with him would be ridiculous.

"Han Li: "Back then, when I left you, it was to ignite your ambition and to free myself from that environment. Looking back now, my choice was the right one, wasn't it You've achieved great success, and I've also made some progress in my career. Compared to being stuck in the county, worrying about where our next meal would come from, we are both a thousand times better off, aren't we"

Zhao Tingxing laughed wildly: “Then I have to thank you.”

He looked down on him at that moment. Han Li was truly immature, talking about love with him now He could talk about sex with women, but not about love.

That night, he still slept with her. You could say it was consensual, but after they were done, he got up and left right away.

Oh, by the way, before I leave, have my secretary bring her a copy of the cooperation contract.

She was still in bed, seemingly lost in the memory of their physical contact just moments ago. Upon seeing the contract, her face drained of color.

“Zhao Tingxing, what do you mean”

Zhaoting has dressed neatly and stands tall, looking down: "The price for sleeping with me once."

Han Li was trembling with anger, who would talk to him about money

Zhao Tingxing: "Be content, you're the most expensive woman I've slept with. This one project is enough to keep your little company fed and watered for several years."

That was truly Zhao Tingxing's most generous gesture towards a woman, and it could also be considered compensation for the woman who had endured hardship with him in their youth. From then on, they were even.

After that, he never saw Han Li again because the project belonged to a subsidiary company and he was not in charge of it nor did he care whether she had signed the contract in the end.

Over the past two years, his impression of Han Li had become more blurred. So when Da An mentioned him, he thought for a moment before remembering.

But what does it mean that she's working for Gu Ruandong

Hate him

So partnering with his arch-rival Gu Ruandong

Does she think he would care

Is Gu Ruandong still stupid He wants to use her against him.

To him, she was nothing but a trivial woman.

Over the years, women held no sway over him. Whether assertive or gentle, worldly or innocent, it made no difference when the lights were out.

If there were to be someone who could leave a truly memorable impression, it would probably only be Lu Yaoyao.

The reason why I feel different about her is threefold. Firstly, she belongs to Gu Ruandong, and that alone makes her interesting to me. Secondly, she's the only one who truly believes I'm an honest person. Thirdly, during our few days together in the mountains, I could see her courage, which was completely different from her appearance. Even though she was kidnapped by me, she managed to get along with me as if we were going on a vacation in the mountains. This unknowingly calmed my mind and prevented me from harming her. Lastly, her kindness towards the old woman in the mountains, especially when I caught her tricking the old woman into going to the village clinic, revealed that she had secretly bought medicine for her without the old woman even noticing - it was a burn ointment for a minor injury she had sustained.

Her eyes were red from crying, and as she threw the medicine to him, she cried in gasps, "The medicine wasn't paid for. You go give it to the doctor yourself, don't try to shirk your responsibility."

I have to admit, at that moment, Zhao Ting was almost going to reach out and wipe away her tears as an apology. Luckily, his hand still listened to him and didn't make any nauseating movements.

Wipe tears for a woman Never in the next life.

Out of the blue, thinking about Han Li led him to Lu Yaoyao. He suddenly remembered a message Lu Yaoyao had sent him on his phone asking if he was in Senzhou

She would ask that only if she had seen Dan in the town of Senzhou, so he glanced at Dan who was sprawled on the sofa and warned, "Things are already complicated enough, don't mess with Gu Ruandong's woman. Otherwise, making things more complicated won't benefit you."

"It's none of your business how I do things."

Zhao Tingxing stopped talking and left the office. They both understood each other, after all, they were brothers, each one crazier than the last.

As for Lu Yaoyao, if Gu Ruandong fails to protect his own woman even when he knows there's danger, then he only has himself to blame.

Senzhou No.1 Huating Villa District, the property was originally heavily guarded, and now Gu Ruandong has added his own personnel, with 24-hour shifts on duty.

Inside her own villa, to prevent Yaoyao from feeling anxious, she replaced the original gardener with bodyguards who secretly protected her, ensuring her safety was foolproof.

No matter how stormy it is outside, inside the villa, there's always peace and tranquility. Even Cuiping felt that as long as she looked at the two of them, she seemed to have grown 10 years younger.

Before, Lu Yao Yao would get restless after just three minutes around Gu Ruan Dong, wanting to kiss and hug him constantly. Either she'd be on his back or in his arms. But now that she's pregnant, she's been well-behaved. One time, she was being carried down the stairs by Gu Ruan Dong like before, her legs dangling around his waist. He only used one hand to drag her, watching as he effortlessly went down the stairs without any effort. However, this scared Cui Ping so much that she forgot about their master-servant relationship and urged them to be more careful. She warned them that if they fell, it wouldn't be a joke.

Then YaoYao giggled and climbed down from Gu Ruandong's embrace. Her stomach had started to show a little, so Gu Ruandong dared not hold her quite so tightly anymore.

The closest they got was reading bedtime stories in the evenings. This started when Ruan Ruan gifted her a set of prenatal education books, said to be popular worldwide. She claimed she had followed the book for her own prenatal education.

Lu Yaoyao immediately wanted to fall asleep as soon as she saw the book. She could only let Gu Ruandong do it. He was very willing to do such a fetal education, whether it was effective or not. At least it distracted her attention and prevented her from thinking about things that didn't exist.

Lu Yaoyao not only fell asleep reading, but also when listening to stories. Although he looked charming leaning against the bed telling prenatal education stories, it was no use. He slept soundly and didn't give anyone any face.

Before, when Gu Ruandong was facing danger and hardship, he never imagined that one day he would be telling prenatal education stories.e mindful from now on.Other girls should be more careful.Ruan Ruan didn't speak again, clutching her down jacket tighter, trying to control her quickening heartbeat.After taking two steps, she suddenl...
