Gu Tingjun asked Ding Ruola to stay here for a while without giving any reason. Naturally, Ding Ruola wouldn't agree.
"Not all the people from the Gu family are good!"
With just a few brief words, he made the current situation clear.
When Ding Ruola asked why the Gu family members were after her and Fang Siyan, the man remained silent.
He would disclose all the information that should be revealed, but not a single punctuation mark of what shouldn't be.
"Go downstairs later. Breakfast is ready!"
Breakfast? Only then did Ding Ruola remember the concept of time.
She learned from Gu Tingjun that she had slept for nearly a whole day.
After going downstairs, Ding Ruola finally got a clear picture of this villa. It was a single - family house with three floors. The top floor was the guest room where she had rested.
The first floor had the dining room, living room and such.
Gu Tingjun was already dressed and sitting in front of the dining table. An old man standing beside him, well - dressed, seemed to be the butler.
Ding Ruola sat down awkwardly across from Gu Tingjun.
"If you're not used to these, I'll ask the nanny to prepare Chinese food."
His tone, his eyes, every little detail exuded good breeding.
This was completely different from the boy she had seen in the game hall that day.
After breakfast, Ding Ruola still wanted to figure out what had happened yesterday.
Gu Tingjun still didn't want to say.
Ding Ruola watched Gu Tingjun sitting there reading a fully - English collection of Shakespeare's works. A mischievous thought came to her mind.
She suddenly walked up to Gu Tingjun, reached out and pulled down the book in front of his face, and slowly leaned closer to his face.
Unexpectedly, just this simple action made Gu Tingjun's face flush immediately, as red as if it had been dipped in brine.
"You..."
Gu Tingjun shook his arm, snatched the book back from Ding Ruola's hand, and held it in front of his face again.
He had no experience in getting close to girls. Such a short distance was already his limit.
The people who had followed Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan yesterday were indeed from the Gu family, but not Gu Tingjun's men.
They were all Gu Qianxue's people.
Ding Ruola was very clear about what Gu Qianxue thought of Fang Siyan.
After Gu Qianxue saw that her elder brother had a crush on Ding Ruola, she came up with a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone.
She sent people to follow Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan all the time, hoping that Fang Siyan would notice and deal with them, leaving Ding Ruola alone.
Gu Qianxue had really put in a lot of effort to kidnap Ding Ruola. The probability of the two of them going shopping was random, and she didn't know what choices they would make in the end, so she had to cast a wide net.
When the person Gu Qianxue sent to the dessert shop saw that Ding Ruola was alone, she mixed some drugs into the sugar frost on the dessert Ding Ruola ordered.
That was why Ding Ruola had a stomachache.
Her going downstairs along the stairs to find the toilet just played into Gu Qianxue's hands.
This shopping mall often held large - scale commercial shows, and there were many celebrities coming and going. To facilitate the passage of the celebrities, there were no surveillance cameras on the building of the mall.
When Ding Ruola walked into the stairwell, she was doomed to lose contact with Fang Siyan.
"So that's how it is! Don't you care about your sister at all?"
Ding Ruola was a bit confused about the situation of the Gu family. On one hand, it was said that Gu Tingjun would be the future head of the family, but his executive power was extremely limited.
Judging from the recent business negotiations in Huaguo, Gu Qianxue had more power in these aspects.
She regretted asking the question as soon as she said it. She saw the bitter smile on the man's face and his tired eyes slowly looking up at her face.
"Some things are beyond our control."
Gu Tingjun also knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he wouldn't stop his sister. He knew that in order to stand beside Fang Siyan, Gu Qianxue would definitely find a way to separate Ding Ruola from Fang Siyan.
Wasn't this also his chance?
Just for the interest that had been deeply buried in his heart since their first meeting!
At noon, Ding Ruola suddenly felt that this house was so boring, so big and so empty. There was nothing but air and loneliness.
How on earth did Gu Tingjun manage to live in such a space?
Meals were served at fixed times every day, with a terrifyingly regular schedule.
Even the pills were arranged in order of size. The butler put the pills on a porcelain - white plate.
The pills were also white, different - sized whites.
Ding Ruola watched Gu Tingjun swallow the bunch of pills with warm water.
"Do you miss him very much?"
Gu Tingjun put down the cup in his hand and stared into Ding Ruola's eyes.
"I can't hold my sister back any longer. He'll come to pick you up soon!"
Ding Ruola was stunned. She looked at the man sitting across from her.
She couldn't figure out what kind of attitude this man had towards her.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the butler came to deliver a message.
"Sir Fang is asking to see you outside the door."
"Brother Fang!"
Ding Ruola was a bit excited. She trotted all the way to the door.
The gate of the yard was made of iron bars. When Ding Ruola ran out, Fang Siyan could see her.
He could also see Gu Tingjun following behind Ding Ruola.
"Ruoruo!"
This intimate address didn't come from Fang Siyan, but from the man behind Ding Ruola.
Ding Ruola turned around and looked back at Gu Tingjun. Before her brain could react, the man's hand went around the back of her neck.
Even though he was sick, he still had some strength.
Ding Ruola's head was firmly pressed against Gu Tingjun's chest.
She was completely stunned. Fang Siyan was still standing behind her.
This Gu Tingjun had been so well - behaved and proper before. Why did he become so bold after seeing Fang Siyan?
Before she could react, Ding Ruola felt another pair of lips on hers.
She suddenly pushed the man in front of her away.
What a cheesy plot! She would never be able to clear her name now!
Fang Siyan stood outside the door with a gloomy face. There was nothing he could do behind the iron gate.
Gu Tingjun had done what he wanted to do. He said some words that would cause misunderstandings and then left.
The butler opened the door.
"Miss Ding, you can leave now!"
The door opened, and the barrier between the two of them seemed to be removed, but they both knew that this matter wouldn't be resolved so easily.
Gu Tingjun went back into the house with a flushed face. He raised his hand and touched his lips. It was a feeling he had never had before.
"Brother Fang!"
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
There was no concern or the usual enthusiasm in Fang Siyan's words. Ding Ruola felt empty inside. She obediently followed behind Fang Siyan.
Sitting in the passenger seat, the man focused on driving and didn't say a word.
No one would feel good about being cuckolded in public like this. Everyone needed some time to recover.
"Brother Fang, I..."
"This is my fault."
