After a long time, Burke slowly drove to a high-end seafood restaurant by the river.
All transparent glass houses let the diners in the restaurant enjoy the night scene on the river.
He opened the car door for her, held her hand and walked slowly into the restaurant.
Obviously, the waiter knew Burke. When he saw them coming hand in hand, he greeted them with a
big smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, the seat you have reserved is ready. Please follow me." The waiter gestured them to go with
him.
He nodded slightly, held Rose's hand tightly, and came to an open-air path on the river under the
guidance of a waiter. The table in the middle of the storehouse had already been covered with a table
cloth, on which there was an exquisite dinning plate. The burning Candlestick was surrounded by red
roses, and the candlelight was swaying with the wind.
"Go to prepare the food now. Let's serve the dishes as we ordered." Burke ordered the waiter.
"Okay, please wait for a moment." The waiter bowed to them slightly and left.
On the long open-air aisle, there were only two rows of gorgeous night lamps and the two shadows of
Rose and Burke.
"Do you often come here?" From the waiter's attitude when she entered the room, she knew that he
was a frequent visitor here.
"Yes." "The owner of this restaurant is my classmate when I was studying abroad. It has a nice
environment and good cuisine. When I am in a bad mood, I will often come here."
"come alone?" Rose didn't know why she cared about this question.
The breeze at night blew her hair away, making her a little messy.
Burke reached out to smooth Rose's messy hair and said gently, "Yes."
The ambiguous behavior of Burke embarrassed Rose. Although she had decided not to look forward to
his response, there was still a ripple in her heart.
"Go for a walk?" Asked Burke. She seemed not to notice the uncomfortable expression on Rose's face.
Rose nodded, allowing her hand to be held by Burke and strolling along the narrow path in the night.
"I have seen the video that you and Mandy." Burke looked at the river ablaze with lights.
Although Rose had already anticipated this, her body was still stiff and her face turned red.
"After all, Zhao Family has a place in the political circle. For the long-term development of Gu Group,
we must not offend Gu Group. So I have this matter suppressed. It won't have any impact on your life. "
Burke explained patiently.
"Sorry." With her head down in embarrassment, Rose apologized to Burke.
Seeing this, Burke felt that Rose, who had an awkward look, was extraordinarily lovely. He suddenly
laughed, lowered his head and whispered in Rose's ear, "I like you to go out as Mrs. Gu, so that no one
dare to bully you."
His hot breath fell on her smooth neck, making her body tremble slightly.
Burke took advantage of the opportunity to embrace Rose into his arms, his head against her beautiful
hair, and said softly, "I like to shield you, becoming your trump card to deal with others. Rosy, no matter
what happens in the future, you just need to remember that I am here. "
His words, like a warm sun in the winter, directly shone into Rose's originally wet and dark heart,
making her feel extremely warm. For a moment, Rose did not want to leave the embrace of Burke. She
just wanted to be quietly held in his arms like this. But at the thought of the pain she had suffered, the
man who had said "I'm here" to her also brought her all the pain she had suffered, and how lonely she
had been at that moment, he was snuggling up with Amanda, with sweet love in his eyes.
Rose could not help sneering. 'Now that you don't care about me, then why don't you just let me go?'
Rose thought helplessly. Compared with your occasional tenderness, I hope you are more cold-
blooded and leave me no trace of mercy.
Seeing no response from Rose, he tightened his embrace. He called her in a soft voice, "Rosy?"
Without struggling to break free from Burke's hug, Rose said coldly, "Burke, do you know that your
tenderness to me is the greatest hurt to me?"
Hearing this, Burke's body stiffened and the strength of his arm gradually loosened. He looked at Rose
with a depressed expression, and the complex emotions in his eyes were something that he could not
understand himself. But he had to admit that as determined as he was, he was really hurt by what
Rose said.
Coincidentally, the waiter in charge of serving dishes came over with a tray in his hands. Seeing that
the two of them were silent and thought that they loved each other very much, he did not want to
disturb them. He gently put down the dishes and exited.
But Rose still sensed that someone was coming. She said to Burke expressionlessly, "let's eat." Then
she walked to the table and sat down.
All of them were silent. The food tasted tasteless no matter how delicious it was.
In the house of Zhao Family, Mandy and Rachel stood in the corner of the study room, trembling with
fear. With a sullen face, Sun pointed at the video on his phone and shouted, "you explain it to me.
What's going on?"
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Mandy explained, "Dad, they did firstly..."
"You are the one who started all this. I'm not blind." Before Mandy could explain, Sun lost his temper.
Hiding behind Mandy, Rachel kept her head down and said nothing.
"I told you many times to be careful when doing things outside. Don't be so arrogant and domineering.
If you go on like this, our whole family will be implicated by you one day." Sun scolded him in a loud
voice.
"Dad..." Mandy didn't know what to say. She said like a spoiled child, trying to slightly suppress her
father's anger.
After all, she was the biological daughter. Seeing the pitiful look on Mandy's face, he couldn't be more
strict with her. He had to turn to the woman behind Mandy, Rachel.
"And you too. But... The Gu Group, is it someone we can mess with? As her elder sister, why don't you
take Mandy with you and run wild with her? "
Tears rolled down Rachel's cheeks and she muttered, "uncle, I, I didn't know she was the lady of the
Gu Group, or I wouldn't..."
When Sun saw the tears on Rachel's face, he was a little annoyed. He waved his hand and said,
"forget it. Things have happened. No matter how much I say, it is useless to talk about it now. I have
asked people to take care of it. In these days, you'd better stay at home and reflect on yourself. Don't
cause such trouble to me in the future!"
