Chapter 439: Rampant

cked its usual bustle. Only a few customers sat sparsely. This wonton noodle shop wasn't far from Qining High School. After evening study sessions, a large group of students would come here for supper...Lu Kuò stared at Gu Ruǎndōng in disbelief. This was unlike him at all. According to Gu Ruǎndōng's personality, if he had finally found an opportunity, he would definitely humiliate Zhuó Yǔ'ān publicly before making a move, right

Gu Ruandong gave Lu Kuo a sideways glance, lit the cigarette in his hand, took a puff and exhaled a ring of smoke, lazily explaining Lu Kuo's confusion.

He came to me begging, can't he even explain the problem

rather arrogant.

Indeed, Zhu Yu'an lowering himself to seek him out already explained everything. When they were children, Zhu Yu'an was a top student, the child everyone envied, the role model for all the other children in the courtyard. While Gu Ruandong was the bad kid, the one parents forbade their own children from associating with.

Now, Zhu Yu'an was coming to him for help, the positions reversed. It was the greatest humiliation. Adults shouldn't show off their quick wit with words.

Zhuo Yu'an was rather surprised by Gu Ruandong. He hadn't expected that after so many years, he would have become so enlightened.

Two more girls entered the room, one on each side of Gu Ruandong. They were dressed very stylishly and it was hard to tell that they worked in a place like this.

After Gu Ruandong introduced them, a somewhat ruffian-like figure walked straight toward the sofa.

“You guys talk, I’ll take a nap first. I was gambling in Macau for two days and I’m exhausted.” He leaned back on the sofa as if he had actually fallen asleep. The two girls beside him, one massaged his legs, and the other massaged his head, relaxing him completely.

His two friends, Da Jin and Da Fang, patted their chests and assured him after hearing Zhu Yu'an's words.

“It's nothing major, we can just go there ourselves.”

Zhuo Yu'an didn't mention Yi Mu Yang. Yi Mu Yang's identity was rather complicated, and without Shao Hui's permission, he couldn't casually bring it up.

"That kid, Gan An, is getting more and more out of line. He's too reckless and doesn't follow any rules. It's high time someone put him in his place."

"Mr. Zhuo, you are Mr. Gu's friend, which means you're one of us. Your business is my business, rest assured."

Before leaving, Zhuo Yu'an glanced at Gu Ruandong. Coincidentally, Gu Ruandong also opened his eyes and looked at him. He nodded to Gu Ruandong, owing him a favor; he remembered it.

Gu Ruandong pulled at the corner of his lips and smiled, waving to him and Lu Kuò. He then leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes, seeming very tired indeed.

Shu Tinglan and Yi Muyang stayed in that two-story building for an unknown number of days. During that time, only one aunt came to deliver three meals a day. At other times, no one could be seen.

Gan An is even more clueless about what he's busy with, rarely comes back, and has no time to attend to them. He's like he's forgotten about them entirely.

Shutinglan no longer missed Zhuo YUAN as crazily as she had those first few days. She had already adapted to his absence, but whenever she thought of him, her heart still ached. To distract herself, she told YIMUyang everything that had happened to her since she returned from the city to Senzhou, mostly about the children. YIMUyang listened very attentively.

He was completely different from the down-on-her-luck Tinglan he had first met. When she spoke about her work and her children, there was no longer the hardship of before, but instead, her eyes shone with happiness and peace.

Yimu Yang thought, if she wasn't there, she would definitely be very happy now.

The thought of this filled me with infinite guilt once again.

"Tinglan, I'm sorry!" He rarely said sorry in his youth, full of arrogance and recklessness. He hadn't said "sorry" as much in the past few days as he had in his entire life.

Shu Tinglan had heard him say sorry before, and she would tell him it was fine, that it wasn't his fault.

But he talked too much, Shu Tinglan helplessly replied, "If you really feel sorry for me, then you must protect yourself and go back here safely. That's the only way I wouldn't have made this trip in vain."

"I will. Tinglan, why aren't you afraid"

"With you here, what's there to fear" Gan An brought her here, she must have some use. As long as her value hasn't been exploited, she'll be safe, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Yimu Yang couldn't help but want to hug her, but thinking of their current relationship, he could only hold back. Her calmness and serenity brought peace to his heart as well.

"Besides, Yi Mu Yang, you really should go back sooner. You know how your club members have been bullied by other clubs while you're away."

She recounted the story of Lao Ding's previous encounter again.

She knew Yimu Chang must have gone through many desperate moments, so now he seemed to have put his life and death aside, his whole heart full of bravery burning himself here. So she kept talking to him about the past, telling him that the children missed him very much, that Lao Ding and colleagues at the club needed him, and that Mrs. Fu and Song Song's parents were very worried about him.

All this talk, it's just adding layer upon layer of weight to his heart, so that he can live a good life, for the sake of all those who love him.

Yimu Yang heard the worry in her tone and chuckled, "Tinglan, I'm actually a coward who fears death. Rest assured, I will work hard to stay alive. After all, without me, that bunch of fools led by Lao Ding wouldn't be able to make a living, let alone earn enough to eat. There's also Mrs. Fu waiting to hold her grandchildren. Tinglan, when I get back, I'll find a good girl to marry and have children with. Preferably twins, even better if they are a boy and a girl. After all, I have experience taking care of twins."

"Tinglan, do you think I'll be a good husband and father"

Shu Tinglan choked back tears: "You are."

"Given my looks and genes, future children should be no worse than Shu Xiaohua and Shu Xiaonian, right"

"It will definitely be more handsome than them."

"Well, I'm not too greedy. It's enough if I can be as beautiful as them."

He's been locked up too long, he's gone a bit crazy. He just spouts nonsense all the time.

After being locked up for about a week, the auntie who delivered their meals spoke to them for the first time.

“Mr. An wants you to go down for a moment.”

Both people in the room stood up and walked out at the same time, and the aunt stopped Shu Tinglan.

“Mr. An said that only Mr. Yi should go down.”

Yi Muyang nodded to her: "It's okay, wait for me to come back."

Shū Tīnglán watched Yì Mùyáng leave nervously as he went downstairs.

As Yi Muyang thought, this trip to Gan'an was for him to deliver goods, the batch that hadn't been sent out last time.

"Achang, you can rest assured and go to work. I guarantee Miss Shu will be safe and sound here waiting for your return."

He delivers the goods well, and in a transaction with Shutinglan, nothing will be harmed.

If he dares to act recklessly, whether Shu Tinglan can remain unharmed is another matter entirely.

"Ayang, I have high hopes for you. You're smarter and more capable than Jiapeng and Gesang. Once this shipment is delivered, we'll definitely continue to work together."

Yi Muyang nodded, didn't say anything more, and prepared to leave according to the information Gan An had given him.od impression of him. He wants to stabilize you but doesn't want to make any further commitments. So he is intentionally and unintentionally cultivating you. On the one hand, he wants to win your favo...
