Chapter 7: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (7)
The luxury car was parked on the side of the road. Looking at the Huacui residential area ahead, Gu Yunting turned to Le Yan and asked, "Are you sure you want to park here?"
Le Yan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes!"
Putting everything else aside, the residents of their neighborhood are all gossipy. If they saw her getting out of a luxury car, who knows what rumors they would spread.
To avoid that kind of thing happening, it's best to just park outside the residential area.
Gu Yunting frowned slightly, then relaxed his brow. "Alright, I'll take you inside."
"Huh?" Le Yan, who was unbuckling her seatbelt, suddenly looked up and waved her hand, flattered. "No need, no need, I can go back by myself. Don't bother Mr. Gu."
Gu Yunting's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. Le Yan's strong rejection made it seem as if he were someone who was shameful.
His tone hardened, and his eyes were extremely serious: "My upbringing doesn't allow me to just leave a single woman like this."
“But I…” Le Yan paused, wanting to say that she only needed to walk a little over a hundred meters to get to her building, and that she had walked this road for over ten years, so she didn’t need to worry about safety at all.
But Gu Yunting insisted, "There are no 'buts,' I'll take you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he got out of the car very quickly.
Le Yan had no choice but to let him have his way.
I felt a warmth in my heart. Mr. Gu really is a good person—handsome, rich, and charming. Is this really a good man who exists in real life?!
The two walked side by side, Gu Yunting's clothes draped over Le Yan's shoulders, their silhouettes intertwined under the streetlights.
To those behind, it looked like a ferocious beast devouring a naive little rabbit.
Her hands, hanging down, clenched slightly, her neatly trimmed nails pressed against her palms, almost digging into her flesh.
"Leyan".
A clear and gentle voice sounded from behind, and Le Yan and Gu Yunting turned around at the same time.
"Senior?" Le Yan exclaimed in surprise, her face beaming with joy.
"Senior, when did you get back?"
She took a step forward, about to go even further, but Gu Yunting hooked her shoulder.
Gu Yunting stared blankly ahead, meeting the gaze of the man hidden in the shadows.
The "senior" that Le Yan mentioned slowly walked over and emerged from the shadows into the light, allowing Gu Yunting to see his appearance clearly.
His features were exquisite, his demeanor refined and elegant, his eyes sparkling like stars, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, radiating a smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze.
They are completely different types.
Clearly, Le Yan prefers the hypocrite type.
Gu Yunting looked down at Le Yan, whose eyes were full of smiles, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
He couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"
"Hmm?" Le Yan looked up in confusion, but subconsciously replied, "President Gu, this is my senior, Rong Jing."
Just then, Rong Jing approached, and Le Yan introduced him to him, "Senior, this is my boss, President Gu of the Gu Group."
The introductions also revealed a bias: one person mentioned the name, while the other only referred to him as "President Gu."
The two men had different feelings.
Rong Jing smiled gently, looked at Gu Yunting, and extended his hand, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Le Yan's senior."
Gu Yunting remained silent, letting Rong Jing extend his hand.
Le Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer. She frowned slightly and looked at him, asking in confusion, "President Gu?"
Why does she feel like President Gu is hostile towards her senior?
Do they know each other?
Gu Yunting then made a move, lightly touching Rong Jing's hand before immediately withdrawing it, saying, "Hello."
Rong Jing maintained his smile, not minding Gu Yunting's rudeness. He simply spoke softly to Le Yan, answering her earlier question, "My flight back to China was this morning. I was thinking of giving you a surprise, which is why I didn't tell you beforehand."
Unexpectedly, it was Leyan who surprised him.
The dragon guarding the treasure knew better than anyone who the enemy was, and the moment he saw the man before him, he was absolutely certain that they were of the same kind.
Rong Jing sneered inwardly, thinking, "Another shameless woman trying to steal him away."
Coincidentally, Gu Yunting also disliked Rong Jing.
LOL, what's so funny? I really want to tear his face off!
Gu Yunting felt incredibly bitter, especially when he saw Le Yan being distracted by Rong Jing's smile, which made him feel even more distressed.
Is it because he's not good-looking enough?
Gu Yunting, who had never doubted his looks, began to lose confidence.
Thinking back on all the times he spent alone with Leyan, this lack of confidence deepened.
Le Yan was unaware of the turmoil in their hearts. She simply stood happily next to Rong Jing, waved to Gu Yunting, and said, "President Gu, my senior and I will go upstairs together. You don't need to worry about me. Go back now."
Gu Yunting was a little heartbroken that they wouldn't even invite him upstairs for a cup of tea.
He paused for a moment before calmly nodding, "Okay, you can go now. I'm leaving."
Damn it, what were those people doing? How come they didn't find out that Leyan had a vicious dog with her?
Gu Yunting pursed his lips, turned around and left.
Investigate! Investigate again!
He wanted to see just what kind of monster Rong Jing was.
Gu Yunting left in a huff, leaving only Le Yan and Rong Jing behind.
She looked at Rong Jing with some curiosity and asked, "How long are you planning to stay this time, senior?"
Rong Jing is two years older than her and has been her senior since high school. They went to the same high school and university, until two years ago when Rong Jing graduated from university and went abroad for further studies, which led to less contact between them.
“This time I’m back, I’m not leaving again.” Rong Jing chuckled and patted Le Yan’s head, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
If we leave now, the treasure will be stolen.
"Really? That's great!"
Le Yan was overjoyed. To her, the senior was like an older brother. Back in high school, she was able to get into Jiangcheng University thanks to his constant tutoring.
Otherwise, with her abilities, she could at most get into a first-tier university, and wouldn't even be able to get into Jiangcheng University.
"Yan Yan, are you happy that I stayed?"
The words circled on his lips twice, but as he watched the elevator ascend, Rong Jing ultimately changed his tune.
Le Yan nodded vigorously, "Of course I'm happy. To me, senior is like an older brother."
"Brother... Brother?"
Rong Jing was having some existential questions. He blinked repeatedly, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent under Le Yan's sincere gaze.
Forget it, now is not a good time.
His gaze fell on Le Yan's dress and suit jacket, and Rong Jing frowned, looking worried, "Yan Yan, I heard that your president... has quite a few women around him. You have to be careful."
Speaking ill of others was clearly not Rong Jing's habit. He looked conflicted, and Le Yan quickly replied, "Don't worry, senior. President Gu doesn't think much of me."
She felt that her senior might have some kind of filter on her. With her ordinary face and figure, how could someone like President Gu be interested in her?
Rather than believing that President Gu has taken a liking to her, it's better to believe that she'll win the lottery.
