Chapter 424 I don't care about this Mrs. Gu
Lu Shengsheng lowered her eyes, quickly concealing the loneliness and sadness in them, and looked up to ask, "What are you doing here?"

"Just passing by." Lu Wenzhou opened the car door and got out, glancing around. There was no driver or agent. "Walking alone on the street so late at night, aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

"I'm not afraid, I just want to absorb some of the brilliance of the sun and moon." Lu Shengsheng made up nonsense without even blinking.

But Lu Wenzhou didn't expose her, saying, "Can you fill your stomach just by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon?"

"It turns out it's not possible!" Lu Shengsheng sighed.

"Want to grab a late-night snack together?" Lu Wenzhou asked.

"Could it be frozen dumplings again?"

Lu Wenzhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Let's go, get in the car!"

Lu Shengsheng got into the car without asking where they were going. She leaned back in her seat, looked at the scenery outside the window, and sighed, "This capital city is truly dazzling with wealth."

Lu Wenzhou: "What happened tonight? My idol seems quite moved."

Lu Shengsheng said in a deliberately profound tone, "A science guy like you wouldn't understand the sentimentality of artists like us."

“I don’t understand, but you can tell me.” Lu Wenzhou said casually, “It’ll be good for this STEM guy to experience the sentimentality of an artist.”

Lu Shengsheng turned her head and looked at him for a moment in the dim light, then finally smiled and sang: "I have a little secret, a little secret, I won't tell you, I won't tell you..."

He sang while shaking his head, displaying the complete naivety of a child.

Lu Wenzhou: “…”

After a moment of silence, I couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Shengsheng followed Lu Wenzhou out of the car and into a hotel she had never been to before. The exterior decoration was nothing special, but once inside, it was a completely different world.

Exquisite and magnificent crystal chandeliers hang high in the air, with expensive rosewood handrails and ancient paintings on the walls that are usually only found in museums.

"I remember this painting was hanging in a museum." Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but ask, "Is this a replica?"

“The ones hanging in the museum are fakes, this is the real thing,” Lu Wenzhou replied.

Lu Shengsheng: “…”

The world eventually turned upside down into a shape I no longer recognize.

"Where is this? I've never heard of it before!"

Lu Wenzhou glanced at her sideways and said in a low voice, "This is a place specifically for entertaining high-ranking officials."

Lu Shengsheng's eyes widened. "Aren't you afraid of being reported?"

"The person who can be reported has no right to sit here and eat."

Lu Shengsheng: “…”

"I'd rather not eat." She turned to leave.

Lu Wenzhou grabbed her hand in time and laughed, "What are you afraid of? If anyone's going in, it'll be me first. It has nothing to do with you."

Lu Shengsheng looked suspicious: "Really? I won't get involved because of you?"

"No, come in." Lu Wenzhou pushed open the door to the private room and invited her in.

Lu Shengsheng sat down with a trembling heart, and the waiter quickly came in with the menu.

Lu Wenzhou told her to order: "You order."

Lu Shengsheng opened the menu. Each dish had an elegant name and a photo, but...

No price listed.

This made her hesitant to order anything casually; if she ordered something exorbitantly priced that Lu Wenzhou couldn't afford, she would have to pay for it herself.

Lu Wenzhou seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted her, "Don't worry, if I don't have enough money, I'll keep it to wash the dishes. I won't be a burden to you."

The waiter was amused by his words.

Lu Shengsheng then ordered three dishes that looked good.

Lu Wenzhou took the menu from her and returned it to the waiter, then added two more dishes. "That's enough, that's enough, the two of us can't eat that much."

He paused, then added, "Waste is shameful."

It's definitely not because I'm worried about not having enough money to pay!
Lu Wenzhou smiled and nodded, indicating that he believed her.

The waiter quickly brought out the dishes, each one exquisite and beautiful, with perfect color, aroma, and taste.

Lu Shengsheng was worried that they wouldn't be able to finish the food, but to her surprise, each serving was just enough for the two of them. They ate their fill without wasting any.

Lu Wenzhou told the waiter to put the bill on his account as usual, then stood up and said, "Let's go."

As Lu Shengsheng walked, she said, "Wow, you can even put your bill on here."

Lu Wenzhou said without modesty, "After all, I'm someone who wants a secure job."

As Lu Shengsheng and he walked out of the private room, the smile on her lips suddenly froze.

Gu Ronghui and Lin Leyang walked towards them. Lin Leyang was also taken aback when she saw them, while Gu Ronghui's dark eyes remained calm and still.

"What a coincidence!" Lin Leyang greeted him first.

Lu Wenzhou didn't speak, his gaze shifting between the three of them.

Lu Shengsheng had just had a big meal and really didn't want to waste her breath talking to them, afraid that she would throw up all the food she had just eaten.

"Let's go." She turned her head to look at Lu Wenzhou.

Lu Wenzhou nodded: "Okay."

Both of them completely ignored the two people opposite them and walked straight to the elevator.

Lin Leyang couldn't help but glance at Lu Shengsheng and the others' backs again. "Ah Hui, are those Shengsheng's friends?"

"Why should I care what they do?" Gu Ronghui said, as if she hadn't seen them at all. "Let's go."

After saying that, he walked away first.

Lin Leyang saw that he didn't even reply, so it seemed that he really didn't care about this Mrs. Gu.
-
In the car, Lu Wenzhou wanted to speak several times but held back.

"Ask whatever you want, don't keep yourself bottled up." Lu Shengsheng knew he wanted to ask but was hesitant to speak, so she took the initiative to speak.

Lu Wenzhou didn't mince words, "You're the one who told me to ask! Was that woman Gu Ronghui's lover?"

"White moonlight!" Lu Shengsheng said calmly, "My childhood sweetheart's white moonlight!"

Lu Wenzhou paused for a moment, but before he could speak, she said again, "We're getting a divorce, but I don't know when we'll be able to get the certificate."

It's strange, Lin Leyang is back now, Gu Ronghui should be eager to get a divorce, but she's dragging her feet on it, it's bizarre.

"Are you... alright?" Lu Wenzhou looked at her, his expression not only worried but also somewhat puzzled.

Her reaction was far too calm.

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me?" Lu Shengsheng laughed. "Do I look like the kind of man who would die for a man?"

Lu Wenzhou: "Doesn't it look like it?"

"looks like?"

Lu Wenzhou thought for a moment, "Don't force yourself. If you want to cry, you can lean on my shoulder. It's not shameful. Liang Xiaoyue was like that back then!"

Lu Shengsheng rolled her eyes at him: "Liang Hanyue and Jin Yanchen's love is real, while Gu Gou and I are just doing a money transaction. How can they be the same? I wouldn't shed a single tear for him even if he died!"

Lu Wenzhou felt slightly relieved that she didn't seem to be in any trouble.

The car stopped outside the apartment building. Lu Wenzhou got out and glanced at it. "Are you staying here now?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"It doesn't quite suit your superstar image," Lu Wenzhou joked. "How about you come stay at my place? I'll charge you less rent each month!"
