Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 565 - 563: Seeing This Man Always Instantly Sours Her Mood

Gu Li blinked, her eyes rimmed red, looking at him pitifully like a red-eyed white rabbit.

Gu Chen’s heart softened immediately, he took a deep breath and gently asked, "Stopped crying?"

As he spoke, tears started falling from Gu Li’s eyes again, alarming Gu Chen.

He stared at her for a long while, then suddenly stood up, walked to the bar, and quickly returned with a cup of water in his hand.

He placed the water in front of her and said softly, "Drink this, hydrate yourself."

At that moment, Gu Li’s heart was collapsing.

Under such circumstances, she couldn’t cry anymore, so she simply wiped her tears, took the cup from Gu Chen’s hand and downed it in one gulp.

"Are you okay now? If you’re okay, I’ll go to work."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to the entryway to change shoes without waiting for Gu Chen’s response.

Just as she finished putting on her shoes, she saw Gu Chen coming over to change his shoes too, and she angrily said, "I don’t need you to take me to the office!"

Gu Chen glanced at her indifferently, "It’s the weekend today."

Gu Li: "..."

Gu Chen considerately grabbed her bag and car keys, "Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere."

The place he wanted to take her was definitely not good, so she said, "No! I am going to see Sister Qing."

"Great, let’s go take some photos and then head over there to show the photos of the house to her."

"..."

So, was he actually planning to take her to see a house for Xiao Qing?

The matter of the house had been dragging on for quite some time, and Gu Chen had only recently found two nice villas with good locations, the most important being that there was a vacant plot of land owned by Kairun Group.

It was said that Lu Jinyang had recently bought that land at a high price, and Gu Chen could guess what it might be used for.

However, until Lu Jinyang spoke up, he wouldn’t speculate out loud.

In the end, Gu Li still followed Gu Chen to see the house.

Xiao Qing was shopping at the mall with Dabao and Xiaobao when she received the call.

"Li, do you have any good news?"

"Sister Qing~ I... Are you at home? I’d like to come over."

"I’m out, what’s up?"

"Oh, then I’ll talk to you about it back at the office tomorrow, it’s nothing important."

Xiao Qing was about to ask another question, but an annoying face appeared in her view, so she said, "Alright, just like that."

She quickly hung up the phone, took Dabao and Xiaobao into a nearby dessert shop and intentionally chose a corner spot. After ordering food for the two children, she called Lu Jinyang, told him her location, and instructed him to come quickly.

As she held her phone, feeling slightly nervous, she looked up only to see that figure already standing in front of her, giving her a huge scare.

"Xiao Qing, long time no see."

Si Nanchen greeted Xiao Qing with a smile, but for some reason, that smile seemed fake to her.

She nodded indifferently, lowered her head, and didn’t want to deal with him anymore.

However, he sat down next to them, turned to Xiaobao and said, "Uncle will treat you to some food, okay?"

Hearing about food, Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, about to nod, but then Xiao Qing called out, "Xiaobao!"

Hearing that, Xiaobao’s eyes immediately dimmed.

Si Nanchen gave Xiao Qing a reproachful look, then continued to Xiaobao, "Uncle and your mommy are good friends, so it’s okay."

"Are you fucking sick? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you are responsible for the consequences."

Xiao Qing’s temper flared up, now just seeing this face made her feel utterly disgusted. Just like seeing those women clinging to Lu Jinyang, seeing this man always spoilt her mood instantly.
