Chapter 475 Let’s get married

Lu Shengsheng said sullenly, "I know."

Zhao Xuan earnestly advised, "Actually, ever since you got together with President Gu, he has been very good to you. He lets you choose all the resources first, and he gives you jewelry that you like without hesitation. He can't reciprocate your feelings, but that's how men are! Don't just talk about President Gu, look at all those female celebrities in the entertainment industry. They all say they married for love, but in the end, isn't that how it all ends?"

Lu Shengsheng choked, "You..."

"You're just fooling yourself with your feelings for President Gu; anyone with eyes can see it."

Lu Shengsheng remained silent.

She thought she had hidden it well, but it turns out everyone could see through it.

Zhao Xuan sighed: "At this point, I'm not saying all this to persuade you to give up on Lu Wenzhou and get back together with President Gu. It's just that the worst thing we can do in this industry is make enemies, especially someone like President Gu. A smart woman should turn her ex-husband into a network of connections, not an enemy!"

Lu Shengsheng bit her lip and said nothing.

Zhao Xuan patted her on the shoulder, "Think it over carefully, and get some rest after you eat."

Lu Shengsheng ate the tasteless vegetable salad with a fork, thinking about how Gu Rong had saved her on the plane earlier that day.

At that moment, she suddenly understood that everything else was trivial in the face of life and death, and at that moment, she fully realized that her relationship with Gu Ronghui was completely over.

However, Gu Ronghui did not seem to understand.

Lu Shengsheng didn't sleep well that night. When she woke up, it was a dim, gray light outside, and she couldn't tell whether it was morning or evening.

It took me ten minutes of sitting on the bed for my mind to gradually clear. I got up, washed up, and went downstairs to the restaurant for the buffet breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ronghui was also there. Seeing her, he smiled slightly and said, "You're up so early."

Lu Shengsheng hummed in agreement and took the food from the tray.

Gu Rong brought her a glass of iced black card tea, saying, "Black card tea helps reduce swelling."

"Thank you." Lu Shengsheng picked up her food, carried it to the dining table, and sat down.

Gu Ronghui sat down opposite her naturally, seemingly with his eyes lowered, but his gaze was always on her out of the corner of his eye.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Xuan and the others came downstairs and were very pleased to see Lu Shengsheng and Gu Rong eating together.

It seems she took everything I said last night to heart.

What she didn't know was that Lu Shengsheng simply hadn't slept well last night and was too lazy to argue with Gu Ronghui.

After she had eaten most of the food, she went back to her room, and Gu Ronghui didn't say anything more.

After breakfast, the group set off for the airport.

The airport had already arranged a morning flight for them to New York.

Zhao Xuan and the others were completing the registration procedures, while Lu Shengsheng stood aside, looking down at her phone.

I sent him a message last night, but Lu Wenzhou hasn't replied yet. Is he angry, or has something happened...?

Just as a faint throbbing appeared between his brows, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, "Sheng Sheng..."

Turning her head, she saw Lu Wenzhou standing there amidst the bustling crowd, looking travel-worn and weary, but his eyes were full of love.

"Lu Wenzhou..."

Overjoyed, Lu Shengsheng abandoned her bag and rushed over to hug him.

Lu Wenzhou bent his knees to catch her and held her tightly in his arms. The anxiety that had been hanging over him all night finally subsided.

Because it was an airport in a foreign country, no one recognized them, so they were just seen as an ordinary young couple meeting, and after a quick glance, they looked away and continued walking.

Zhao Xuan glanced at Gu Ronghui's face subconsciously and couldn't help but rub her temples.

Gu Rong's dark eyes dimmed instantly. She looked away and bent down to pick up the bag she had thrown on the ground.

The zipper wasn't fully closed, and a folded paper bag slipped out. He picked it up and discreetly stuffed it into his pocket. "Why are you here?" Lu Shengsheng looked up at him, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"I was worried about you, so I took a day off to come and see you."

"Minister Cheng actually agreed to let you leave the country?" Lu Shengsheng asked in surprise.

"This is the only way," Lu Wenzhou explained, glancing at the two upright men behind him. "We also have bodyguards escorting us."

Lu Shengsheng suddenly realized, "No wonder, but it's already very good."

Lu Wenzhou patted her head. "You must have been terrified yesterday."

"I almost thought I'd never see you again." Lu Shengsheng pouted. "Luckily, it all turned out alright in the end, otherwise you wouldn't have such a beautiful girlfriend."

Lu Wenzhou smiled and pinched her cheek. Only then did his gaze notice Gu Ronghui standing not far away. He frowned slightly, but quickly let go and greeted her with great poise, "President Gu."

Gu Ronghui didn't say anything, but simply handed her the bag.

Lu Shengsheng was about to take it when Lu Wenzhou extended his hand first, "Thank you, President Gu."

Gu Ronghui's throat tightened, and she squeezed out three words, "You're welcome," before turning around and going inside first.

Fearing he might misunderstand, Lu Shengsheng quickly explained, "He was on the same flight as me yesterday!"

"Hmm!" He said casually, as if he didn't take the matter to heart. "I can only stay for an hour; I have to go back to the capital soon!"

This hour was granted by Minister Cheng; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave Beijing!

"I have half an hour before I board the plane."

That means they only have less than half an hour to spend together.

Lu Wenzhou touched her cheek. "I just wanted to make sure you were alright with my own eyes. I'm relieved to see that you're okay."

Lu Shengsheng snuggled closer to him, unusually docile, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Lu Wenzhou lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows and eyes. "It's good that you're alright."

Gu Rong was waiting for her flight in the VIP lounge when Secretary Li brought in a cup of coffee and then left.

He thought of Lu Shengsheng's ecstatic joy when she saw Lu Wenzhou, and his heart ached. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the paper bag from his pocket and opened it. The messy handwriting came into view.

Lu Wenzhou, I love you. I will never regret being with you, but I regret that I can't be with you until we grow old.

Don't be sad for me for too long, but you mustn't forget me either.

Always remember, I love you!
Every word she wrote to Lu Wenzhou was a heartfelt confession, yet also a sharp blade piercing his heart.

How can he ever let go of the fact that the girl who once loved him so deeply now has eyes for someone else?

**
Upon hearing the news on the radio, Lu Shengsheng reluctantly let go of Lu Wenzhou.

"I have to go now."

Lu Wenzhou nodded, "Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

Lu Shengsheng took two steps, then turned back and asked him, "Do you believe me?"

“Of course!” Lu Wenzhou replied without hesitation.

“Then let’s get married when I come back from New York!” she said expectantly.

Lu Wenzhou was stunned. "You're willing to marry me?"

"Of course!" Lu Shengsheng answered crisply, then paused and added, "Are you going to apply? Is it okay since I'm a divorcee?"

"As long as you're willing, I'll marry you ten times, let alone a second marriage!" Lu Wenzhou lowered his head and kissed her forehead deeply. "Sheng Sheng, I'll marry you when you come back."
