Chapter 536 - 327: The Last Smile 1_2
Gu Yucheng poured himself another glass of wine, and when he was about to pour more, Lu Xiao grabbed the wine glass!
"President Gu, drinking like this is harmful to your health!" Lu Xiao stared at him.
Gu Yucheng glanced at her, "I’m feeling sad right now!"
Lu Xiao set the wine glass aside, she didn’t ask why he was sad, but foolishly looked at him, "Drinking is so meaningless, let’s go to the seaside!"
Gu Yucheng looked at her youthful face and accompanied her to the seaside.
Lu Xiao collected shells and spelled out two characters "sadness".
When the sea waves came in, they washed away these two characters.
In that instant, the beach returned to its calm state.
Gu Yucheng understood her meaning, that no sadness is insurmountable, as long as one maintains the right mindset, the sadness will leave no trace.
He watched as the rising seawater wet her sleeves, and her little hands turned red with cold; he reached out to hold her in his arms, "Are you cold?"
"Not cold!" Lu Xiao looked at him with starry eyes, "Because my heart is warm!"
Gu Yucheng laughed, the thoughts and actions of a young girl, undoubtedly naive, yet so pure and natural.
"You laughed!" Lu Xiao was overjoyed, her smile as brilliant as the stars.
Gu Yucheng stared at her, "Is my smile important to you?"
"Even if it’s just a normal friend, I would not want him to dwell in past sadness, and since you are the man I like, I hope even more that you can be happy and joyful!" Lu Xiao said.
Gu Yucheng chuckled softly: "Are you happy being with me?"
"Happy!" Lu Xiao’s young face was full of happiness and joy!
The age difference of more than a decade let love have no barriers, his maturity, his experienced heartache—at the presence of this young girl, seemed almost like from another lifetime.
Their happy date on the beach was observed by Lu Mojing from his room.
For Lu Mojing, it was impossible not to know Gu Yucheng, a legendary figure in the business empire.
However, such a man, once married, with children, and a sensitive relationship with his ex-wife, was not the brother-in-law Lu Mojing envisioned.
He would soon leave this world, he hoped his brother-in-law would be someone pure and simple, at least someone without such complex emotions.
Thus, Gu Yucheng was definitely not the good match in the eyes of Lu Mojing.
When Bei Ran arrived at the seaside, she noticed that Lu Mojing was not at home, she called his phone only to hear it ringing inside the house.
This frightened Bei Ran, she didn’t know if he had a medical episode, staying alone like this, with a body that could fail at any moment, where had he gone?
Bei Ran immediately called Gu Qingchen: "Qingchen, Mojing is missing, his luggage, identification, and phone are all at the seaside cabin, but he’s nowhere to be seen, I’m worried his illness has worsened..."
"Don’t panic yet, I’m coming over immediately!" Gu Qingchen said.
Gu Qingchen quickly drove over, joining Bei Ran to search for Lu Mojing’s whereabouts.
Even, Bei Ran called Lu Xiao, "Have you seen your brother?"
"No!" Lu Xiao and Gu Yucheng were in the sweet period of their love, she seldom came back to see her brother.
"Did your brother call you? Has he looked for you?" Bei Ran asked urgently.
Lu Xiao, sensing Bei Ran’s anxiety, "No, Ranran, what’s wrong with my brother? Did something happen?"
"No..." Bei Ran hid the truth about the illness, "I can’t find your brother all of a sudden, I have something to ask him, where do you think he could be?"
"This..." Lu Xiao pondered, "I can’t say! Ranran, I’ll go look for him as well!"
Bei Ran pointed at a figure on a bridge ahead: "Look, who’s that? Is that Mojing? Xiao, I’ve found Mojing, no need for you to hurry over."
Speaking that, she hung up the phone.
Gu Qingchen stopped the car by the bridge and rushed over furiously, "Lu Mojing, what are you doing? Standing here, do you know how worried we are? You’re not a child anymore, what game are you playing?"
Lu Mojing, in a pristine white trench coat, stood amidst the wind, having lost some weight compared to a few days ago, his slightly gaunt face where the cold winter wind blew over, fluttering strands of hair on his forehead.
He stood there, as if isolated from the world on the long bridge, letting the bone-chilling wind blow through his hair, indifferent to Gu Qingchen’s anger in his eyes.
Bei Ran ran over from the passenger side, worriedly said: "Mojing, why didn’t you bring your cell phone? You scared us to death, your health isn’t good, don’t go out alone..."
"I’ve always considered myself a normal person!" Lu Mojing ignored Gu Qingchen and said to Bei Ran, "I can take care of myself."
Gu Qingchen glared fiercely at him: "If you can take care of yourself, why does Bei Ran need to check up on you every day?"
"Enough, Qingchen, let’s not talk about this anymore! It’s good we found him!" Bei Ran said, "Maybe I was just overreacting! Actually, Mojing doesn’t consider himself a patient... he will get better!"
Gu Qingchen said: "Alright, come back with me to the hospital! I’ll give you a thorough check-up, if there’s illness, we treat the illness!"
"I don’t want to go!" Lu Mojing said calmly.
"You don’t have a choice!" Gu Qingchen snorted coldly, reaching out to grab Lu Mojing’s hand. Lu Mojing’s expression changed and he quickly moved away.
Since that incident, Lu Mojing avoided any physical contact with men, when Gu Qingchen made that move, he instinctively avoided it.
And his usually unchanging facial expression also instantly turned pale.
Gu Qingchen didn’t know what had happened to him, but today he was determined to take Lu Mojing to the hospital by force, so he reached out to grab again.
Bei Ran, more attentive, noticed Lu Mojing’s change, she immediately stopped Gu Qingchen: "Qingchen, don’t do this... "
"Ranran, if he’s really ill, he should go to the hospital for treatment. If he’s faking illness, I have ways to let him know what the consequences of deceiving others are!" Gu Qingchen insisted, "I hope you’re not standing on his side!"
