Lu Chengzhou was standing in the doorway with one hand in his pocket, watching with an expressionless look. Between his well-defined fingers was a cigarette that was half burnt. He had been standing there for a while.
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow, surprised that he come so quickly. Sheng Ting also saw Lu Chengzhou standing in the doorway looking like a shadow.
He hung his suit jacket on his arm, his eyes narrowed. His facial features were beautiful and his silhouette outrageously smooth. Even someone like him who was at the top of the entertainment industry and always been confident in his appearance felt a little inferior to him. He looked a little longer before turning away.
Just then, Gu Mang said mildly, “I have something on. I gotta go.”
Sheng Ting was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, she had already turned around and walked away. She stopped at the door. Sheng Ting was in a daze as he watched.
The girl said a few words to the man. Then the man put the jacket over her shoulder and left with her. Sheng Ting didn’t want to admit how compatible they looked. Standing beside Sheng Ting, Xiao Zhou was quiet.
…
Gu Mang cocked her head to the side and glanced at the suit on her shoulder. “I’m really not cold.”
She was also not used to wearing other people’s clothes.
Lu Chengzhou turned his face to look at the red dress under the jacket. His eyes drifted upward to her beautiful collarbone, her neck contrasting against the red dress. Her blood vessels were clearly visible. His dark eyes narrowed.
The scene of her dancing with another man came to mind. A dangerous look flitted across his eyes. He was stunned when he first saw her wearing such a radiant color. He didn’t even know how long it took for him to recover his senses.
Perhaps it was the moment she started dancing with the other guy that he felt a piercing feeling in his eyes. He also felt the urge to kick the man away, but he suppressed it. He held her hand for the second time.
“It’s cold.” He looked at her clear eyes.
Her arm was exposed and the temperature outside was ten degrees. How could she not be cold?
Gu Mang didn’t utter a word as she stared back at him with black eyes that were like a deep lake.
After a long while, her lip upturned into a smile. The raised corner of her eyes couldn’t hide her devilishness, and she said softly, “Lu Chengzhou, what are you trying to do? Do you like me?”
The man’s thin lips turned up slightly. His voice was low and magnetic as he replied with a question. “Am I not obvious enough?”
Gu Mang was quiet for a few seconds, her pretty eyebrows hiding all emotion. Her cold eyes were covered with hazy mist. “A seventeen year old?”
“You’ll grow up.” The man was calm and composed. The smile at the corner of his lips was like that of a pseudo-cultured rascal.
Even though they both had very powerful auras, they were very subtle now.
Gu Mang chuckled and said ambiguously, “I’m going to go change.”
She threw the jacket to him and went to the dressing room.
Lu Chengzhou watched her enter the room and close the door. Only then did he casually turn his eyes to Sheng Ting who was not far away. His dark and deep eyes were half-opened. Sheng Ting was also looking at him.
Lu Chengzhou gave him a lazy smirk, putting out the cigarette in his hand on the garbage bin beside him.
After a while Gu Mang walked out of the dressing room dressed in black. She was wearing a baseball cap and carrying a bag as well. She was icy and cool.
…
Leaving the studio, the two drove straight to the Lu residence.
When the old grandmother saw Gu Mang for the first time she nailed Lu Chengzhou onto the pillar of shame called “giving in to beauty.”
The young lady looked too lovely! Her pretty face withheld her pride. Brash and wild energy seemed to burst out of her. Her eyes that were as deep as a lake radiated some chilliness. Her lightly pursed lips revealed some ruthlessness as well. Such a willful person was actually a doctor.
Gu Mang sat on the chair to take the old grandmother’s pulse. From time to time, her black, bright eyes looked up at the old grandmother. She looked rosy and her eyes looked clearer.
She retracted her hand. “You’re recovering well. Don’t stop taking the Chinese patent medicine. It’s important for your health.”
The old grandmother rolled down her sleeves slowly and looked at Gu Mang with a smile. “Little girl, stay for dinner tonight.”
Her tone was kind. If Gu Mang didn’t know this old grandmother was the head of the Lu family speaking, she might have thought otherwise.
