Fang Siyan led his men all the way here and stopped in front of a high - end residential community.
If he remembered correctly, this community was a real - estate project of Kaida Company.
Since there was a connection with Kaida, Fang Siyan's first thought was of Gu Tingjun.
However, when Fang Siyan saw the phone and the so - called culprit, he couldn't help but find it a bit laughable.
In this day and age, even nobodies were eyeing Ding Ruola.
"Where is she?"
The man opened the door without any defense and confirmed that it was Fang Siyan standing there.
Qin Hongyu was about to close the door but found it wouldn't shut. Looking down, he saw that Fang Siyan had propped his foot between the door and the doorframe.
"Not going to invite me in for a sit?"
As a university professor, Fang Siyan knew it was basic human courtesy to try courtesy first and then resort to force.
"You'd better tell the truth. You should know well about my leniency!"
Qin Hongyu gave an awkward smile and brought the glass of water he was holding and placed it in front of Fang Siyan.
His eyes darted around, clearly cooking up some bad ideas in his head. After sitting on the sofa, he rubbed his hands back and forth on his thighs.
He looked extremely nervous.
Fang Siyan, however, still kept a straight face and remained silent no matter what the man said.
Qin Hongyu had offended both sides and was like a nobody in this situation.
He had already come up with a plausible story in his head and told Fang Siyan the fabricated tale with a cheesy smile.
Fang Siyan wasn't a fool. The story was full of loopholes.
If, as he claimed, Ding Ruola had carelessly left her phone in the coffee shop, wouldn't his first reaction be to return the phone to her? Why would he keep it for himself!
While Fang Siyan was "wrestling" with Qin Hongyu, Ding Ruola was sleeping soundly.
Gu Tingjun knew what he wanted and wouldn't touch Ding Ruola without a reason.
Although he had received a European education, deep down he still yearned for pure love.
He was well aware that love was love and desire was desire.
He swirled the wine glass in his hand, staring intently at the liquid inside. When the tiny bubbles had completely disappeared, he brought the glass to his lips.
Just as he was about to take a sip, he was startled by the girl behind him!
"Let go of me, you scumbag!"
Ding Ruola had just had a nightmare. All she saw in the dream was Qin Hongyu's face, and there were even some disgusting scenes.
For example, she was supposed to be intimate with Fang Siyan, but suddenly the man's face turned into Qin Hongyu's.
Gu Tingjun was so startled by Ding Ruola's scream that he trembled. The wine in the tilted glass spilled on his clothes.
He hated wearing damp and sticky clothes. He casually took off his clothes and walked closer to Ding Ruola, intending to ask about her preferences.
"Don't come near me!"
Ding Ruola panicked at Gu Tingjun's movement. She thought the man was up to no good.
Gu Tingjun also thought he hadn't met such an interesting girl in a long time. His undershirt was already wet, so he simply took off all his upper - body clothes.
The girl covered her eyes with her hands, but left a big gap between her middle finger and ring finger.
"I don't like you. You..."
Ding Ruola was so agitated that her voice was filled with sobs.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Gu Tingjun turned around and took out a piece of clothing from the suitcase beside him and put it on casually.
After the man was dressed properly, Ding Ruola glared at Gu Tingjun with a blushing face.
When he was stared at by the girl like this, he didn't know what was wrong with him. His heart raced and his mouth went dry.
Could it be that the alcohol could seep through the blood? Even if it could, such a small amount of alcohol wouldn't have such an effect.
He was smitten!
Gu Tingjun curled his lips, a faint smile playing on his brows.
"Shouldn't you say thank you?"
At first, Ding Ruola thought Gu Tingjun and Qin Hongyu were in cahoots. But judging from the situation from just now until now, there didn't seem to be any direct connection between them.
If there had to be a connection, they were just in a superior - subordinate relationship!
After a brief conversation between the two, Ding Ruola was about to leave. She wanted to find her phone and ask Fang Siyan to pick her up, but she couldn't find her phone no matter what.
"Have you seen my phone?"
Gu Tingjun shook his head. He helped Ding Ruola look for it but couldn't find it either. It was likely that she had left it somewhere.
The man didn't want Ding Ruola to stay with him for too long. This time he came back to China under special circumstances and couldn't afford to be targeted by Fang Siyan.
He offered to take Ding Ruola home, but Ding Ruola wasn't very willing. She remembered that Gu Tingjun always liked to exaggerate things when talking to Fang Siyan before. She wasn't sure if he would do the same this time.
So she had to decline the man's kindness.
"Can I borrow your phone?"
Gu Tingjun didn't say a word. He just held his phone and played a meaningless game, not willing to lend his phone to Ding Ruola.
The two of them were at a stalemate for a long time.
"Fine, take me home then!"
As soon as Ding Ruola finished speaking, Gu Tingjun handed his phone to her.
The girl's fingers moved quickly on the numeric keypad. She pressed the green virtual button and the call was dialed.
But there was no response from the other end. When the automated prompt from China Unicom came out, Ding Ruola could only hang up the phone dejectedly!
"See, you still need my help!"
"You're so childish."
Ding Ruola didn't even look at Gu Tingjun. She got out of bed, planning to just run her fingers through her hair and leave, but was stopped by Gu Tingjun.
"I'll comb your hair!"
At first, Ding Ruola was reluctant. Then the man gave her two options.
Either let him comb her hair and go home, or stay here.
With a single man and a single woman in the same room, a little white rabbit and a little fox, it was obvious that Ding Ruola would be the one at a disadvantage. It was just having her hair combed, after all.
Ding Ruola told herself to endure it!
Afraid that Ding Ruola would be bored, Gu Tingjun casually handed his phone to her.
There were no business secrets in this phone. It was his private space.
"Can I look at the photo album?"
"Sure!"
After getting Gu Tingjun's permission, Ding Ruola opened the photo album on the phone. There weren't any new photos. She noticed a folder named "Childhood".
Inside were photos of Gu Tingjun and Gu Qianxue when they were kids.
As she scrolled back, there were dozens of photos with four people in them. She didn't recognize one of the women, and the other three were kids.
The boy with a crew cut in the middle should be Fang Siyan.
"This is Fang!"
Gu Tingjun glanced at it and nodded to confirm.
"He wasn't as cocky as he is now when he was a kid!"
Ding Ruola studied Fang Siyan's childhood outfit. He looked like a lively and cheerful little cutie.
In one of the photos, Fang Siyan was holding a small tin frog toy in his hand.
The strange color combination and the glaring green made Ding Ruola notice this little frog at once.
"What about this?"
Ding Ruola held up the phone and pointed at the little toy on it.
"If you like it, they seem to sell it at Vanguard."
