War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 340: Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu, Fate Not Yet Fulfilled

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu, Fate Not Yet Fulfilled

Xiao Xiao did not refuse, Lu Fusheng naturally took her to a restaurant with heating, and her body’s chill gradually warmed up.

"Xiao Xiao, when are you leaving?"

Since she decided to retire, Jiang City was no longer a place to stay.

Especially since Gu Yan is no longer here.

They still needed to take Gu Yan home to see her grandfather.

"In the next couple of days." Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Fusheng, "This time, I’m really not going to chase after you anymore. I think I won’t get used to it."

For the past two years, wherever Lu Fusheng was, she would be there too. Even though she aimed at his head numerous times, she never pulled the trigger, but she got used to being where he was.

Lu Fusheng silently smiled bitterly to himself, probably the one most unaccustomed to this would be him.

Every time, knowing full well she was there to kill him, he neither hid nor avoided her, just wanting to see her more and feel her presence.

If she retired, he wouldn’t even be able to track her whereabouts.

She hadn’t left yet, but his heart already felt empty.

Lu Fusheng couldn’t help but wonder if the heating in this restaurant was broken.

"Have you decided how long you’re going to rest?"

Xiao Xiao paused, then replied, "About three years, at least three years."

Three years, maybe enough to fade some things away.

"Hmm." Lu Fusheng nodded and didn’t speak further.

Their ordered meals arrived, and they ate in silence, not speaking a word while finishing dinner.

This dinner was eaten very slowly, leisurely piano music echoed in their ears, as if trying to freeze time at this moment.

However, the music must end, and people must part ways; when the time comes, they each go their separate paths.

...

Airport.

"Gu Xiaonian, don’t run around, quick, quick, hide behind me."

The woman wore a baseball cap pulled low, hiding behind a large pillar, reaching out to pull the little girl in front of her by her collar to hide her behind.

The little girl reached only up to the woman’s thigh, so she simply hugged her leg, her little head poking out, eyes darting around curiously, her delicate features drawing the gazes of passersby. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Mommy, Uncle has already sent Gu Xiaobao over, so why do we have to hide?"

The woman sighed, "I don’t know either, your uncle and auntie just don’t like me coming to Jiang City. Every time I say I want to come, they pull long faces."

"But they only pull faces at you; they haven’t forbidden me to come. You can hide, but I won’t follow you to hide."

The little girl spoke, then tried to run out, but the woman quickly caught her back.

"Honey, everyone knows you’re with me. If you suddenly appear here alone, doesn’t that just announce that I’m here too?"

"Oh, it’s okay, honey will protect you." Gu Xiaonian patted her shoulder like an adult, chin lifted proudly.

The woman was speechless, "..."

Just as she was about to speak, the phone rang.

Her heart skipped a beat. She put down Gu Xiaonian, took out her cell phone, and saw the caller ID was Yan Shuo.

The woman felt guilty, took a few deep breaths, and finally slid to answer after a while.

"Xiao Yan, where have you gone?"

Yan Shuo’s voice was as nonchalant as ever over the past five years, yet it commanded respect.

Gu Yan held the phone, kicking her right foot against the ground, her eyes darting around just like Gu Xiaonian’s.

She stammered, "I’m just out wandering around, not anywhere specific."

"Don’t think you can fool me with your little schemes. Don’t think I don’t know you secretly went to Jiang City."

Gu Yan suddenly choked on her saliva, coughing sharply.

Yan Shuo listened on the other end, utterly helpless.

Gu Yan caught her breath and whispered, "I haven’t been to this place before, I just wanted to take a look. The more you stop me, the more curious I get."

Yan Shuo sighed in resignation, "Alright, since you’re already there, I won’t pursue it. Anyway, Xiaobao is over there; you should take Xiaonian to find Xiaobao and take good care of the two of them."

"I know. Actually, it’s because you asked Uncle Fu to bring Xiaobao over that I really wanted to come over to see him."

Yan Shuo, listening to her justified words, found it both amusing and exasperating, "Alright, alright, you have your reasons; I won’t say anything more. Just come back when you’ve had enough fun."

"Okay!" Gu Yan replied happily, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. Bye."

Saying that, she swiftly hung up before Yan Shuo could say anything more.

Yan Shuo listened to the busy tone on the phone, shaking his head helplessly.

Xiao Xiao was sitting on the sofa in his office, her legs up on the coffee table, playing a game on an iPad.

"She’s really gone to Jiang City?"

"Could it be fake?"

Xiao Xiao continued slaying her game monsters, sighing slightly, "That girl just won’t listen and insists on going over."

"Maybe some things are just destined to happen. No matter how we’ve tried to block it, what’s meant to happen will happen."

Xiao Xiao thought about it and nodded, "That’s right. After all, we deceived them back then, and many things have happened over the years. Mainly, those two should never have suffered those hardships. If they can return to the right track, maybe it’s not a bad thing."

Yan Shuo gazed deeply, "Let’s hope so."

If all the past could be mended, then everyone can have a chance for a new beginning.

Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu, their fate wasn’t finished yet. Besides, they had the deepest bond between them.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yan felt quite delighted, wanting to share the good news with Gu Xiaonian. She looked down but found Little Nian was no longer at her feet.

She froze for a moment, spun around, but still didn’t see Little Nian.

Gu Yan panicked, damn it, where did she go!

The little troublemaker had run off again! Not afraid of getting kidnapped.

With Yan Shuo’s permission, Gu Yan was not afraid of his guards catching her outside. She openly went out, searching for Little Nian in the airport hall.

"Gu Xiaonian, where are you?!"

A bodyguard walked over, "Miss, Little Miss is outside."

Gu Yan, "..." That little rascal ran off fast.

At this moment, Gu Xiaonian, while Gu Yan was on the phone, had quietly slipped away, running out of the airport hall, followed by one of Yan Shuo’s subordinates.

The little girl was energetic, never having been to Jiang City before, so everything seemed novel to her, and she was fearless, running around and looking at everything outside the airport.

Suddenly, the little girl saw a car, a black car.

She widened her eyes, ran over, and touched the car’s body with her small hand, "Wow, this car is so cool!"

The bodyguard following her sighed helplessly, "Little Miss, this is someone else’s car; perhaps we shouldn’t touch it casually."

Gu Xiaonian was indifferent, "What’s the big deal in touching it? It’s an honor for it that I’m touching it."

Bodyguard, "..."

Suddenly, the car window rolled down, and the person in the driver’s seat turned his head.

Unexpectedly, there was someone in the car, which made the bodyguard feel quite awkward.

However, Gu Xiaonian was still excitedly greeting the car owner!
