Chapter 228, greed

Huo Nanchen's contrast made Gu Ruochu feel incredulous and even surreal. She stared straight at him, and her unyielding look gave him a naughty thought in his heart.

He reached out his finger and ruffled the corners of her lips a few times. His face was filled with a devilish charm. "Little liar, you've seduced me so early in the morning. Weren't you trying to run away?"

Her lips felt as if they had been scalded.

His words, coupled with his expression, were extremely sexy. Gu Ruochu was almost seduced by his advances. His eyes had a lustful look in them.

Huo Nanchen's other hand was already touching her leg. Gu Ruochu did not move. She simply endured it. She was afraid that he would become even more agitated.

It was widely accepted that men were lewd characters. They would usually heat up early in the morning.

"Do men have many faces too?"

Huo Nanchen was stunned for a moment. He then chuckled, "I'll show you every single one of my faces. Madam, today, you'll see the side of me serving you. How about that? I promise that I'll serve you comfortably. Be good, don't be in a hurry to seduce me. Brush your teeth."

"..."

Gu Ruochu decided not to argue with him. She obediently took the toothbrush and began to brush her teeth.

Seeing that she had become obedient, Huo Nanchen went to her find clothes.

If Gu Ruochu had not protested, he would have helped her put on her clothes.

After washing up, Gu Ruochu went downstairs. She planned to meet up with Wang Gang after breakfast.

Huo Nanchen took a shower, and when he came out of the bathroom, Gu Ruochu was no longer in the bedroom. He changed and made his way downstairs. When he saw her sitting by the dining table, his mood improved.

Later in the day, Gu Ruochu would attend the launching ceremony for the large-scale historical drama, 'When the Plum falls.' Wang Gang had said that he had a surprise for her, which she suspected to be a present.

"Honey, drink some milk."

"No."

"Be good. Milk is good for your body." He poured some milk for her and almost gave it to her himself. "It's warm, it's good for your stomach."

Gu Ruochu did not need to be instructed on how to take care of herself. When she saw the meaningful look in Nanny Zhang's eyes, she averted her gaze.

This feeling of relying on others was both fresh and a little greedy for her.

"..."

AT THE HUAYU COMPANY:

The company lounge was fancy and luxurious.

"Are you saying that Gu Ruochu is the person you've been looking for?" A tall figure stood in front of the large window and turned around to look at Jin Ye. "Are you sure?"

"To be honest, I'm not very sure." Jin Ye leaned against the sofa with a lazy smile on his lips. However, his deep feelings were somewhat absent-minded. "The first time I saw her, I felt that she was very familiar."

Back then, when they had been separated, he had been unable to find any information about her.

Now that they were adults, too much time had passed.

"How can you be so sure about something like this?" Su Ze knew that Jin Ye had been looking for a mysterious lady for many years. "You don't even remember her name. You only remember her young appearance, which makes it even more difficult to find her. Jin Ye, I've never understood the significance of the person you're looking for."

She was just a childhood playmate.

Jin Ye did not answer him. He just closed his eyes. The lazy smile on his lips gradually faded away.

Jin Ye did not understand why he had been so persistent.

Perhaps it was because there were many unanswered questions about her. Even after so many years, his heart still wanted to find out more about the young girl.

"Su Ze, help me investigate Gu Ruochu."
