I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

"I only have brotherly feelings for her."

But Jiang Xuxu acted as if she hadn't heard her and kept asking the same question.

Gu Jingshen's lips curled up slightly.

He then realized he had acted like a fool, earnestly answering her drunken ramblings.

Back at the hotel, after settling Jiang Xuxu in, he quietly closed the door and left.

But in fact, Jiang Xuxu was not drunk.

She sat up in bed, staring straight at the doorway.

He really was going out; was he going to find Lin Tingran?

Jiang Xuxu didn't go out with them, nor did she want to, so she simply went back to sleep.

Downstairs at the Nightless Cafe, Gu Jingshen and Lu Chen sat facing each other and talked.

"Mr. Gu,"

Lu Chen's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile. "We still have two scores to settle, yet you've come looking for me?"

Gu Jingshen poured tea unhurriedly, his expression calm and composed, clearly not taking Lu Chen, such a minor character, seriously.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Lu Chen became a little impatient. "Speak, what exactly do you want to say that you called me here? I have things to do and don't have time to drink tea with you here."

Gu Jingshen raised an eyebrow: "Are you going to see Xuxu?"

"How dare you call Xuxu? Let me tell you, don't think I don't know, you two are just putting on an act for the elders in your family."

Lu Chen's face was full of disdain.

Compared to Gu Jingshen's composure, this seemingly gentle and refined gentleman's true colors were exposed.

"Who told you we were just dealing with our elders?" Gu Jingshen looked up at him.

A powerful sense of oppression instantly swept over him, and Lu Chen couldn't help but shiver, even stuttering a little when he spoke.

"Of course... it was Xuxu who told me. Don't forget, we've had a seven-year relationship. You've only known each other for a few days and you're already dreaming of taking my place in her heart?"

Gu Jingshen frowned slightly and scratched his ear. He hadn't come here tonight to hear about the past.

"Stay away from her," he ordered directly.

Lu Chen scoffed, "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to tell me to stay away from her!"

Gu Jingshen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he still suppressed his anger and spoke to him calmly.

"The car accident in Zhuqiao Village..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

He argued illogically, "I'm talking to you about Xuxu, what car accident? I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't worry, I didn't record it."

Gu Jingshen calmly took a sip of tea. "Considering how you took care of Xuxu in the past few years, don't blame me for not warning you. If there's a next time someone breaks into your home to take photos, I won't hesitate to personally send you to jail. At that point, even the Li family won't be able to protect you."

For some reason, he didn't seem to be making baseless accusations when he said that.

Lu Chen was startled.

If Jiang Xuxu hadn't let it go, and if Old Master Li hadn't intervened behind the scenes, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out for at least ten days or half a month.

In addition, regarding the company incident last time, Old Master Li had already given him a stern warning.

This is a third time. If it happens again, even if you die outside, don't ever come looking for the Li family again!

"What happens between Xuxu and me is none of your business, someone I've only known for half a month!"

Lu Chen put on a brave front, but he was actually quite wary inside.

He had long ago made up his mind to win back Jiang Xuxu in a positive way, no matter how long it would take.

Therefore, Gu Jingshen's warning to him was completely useless.

He just wanted to live next door to Jiang Xuxu; he didn't intend to do anything to her.

I'm not afraid of his threats!

"You think you're the only one who feels sorry for Xuxu? I've been with her for seven years, I know her better than you do, and one day she'll definitely come back to me!"

After saying that, Lu Chen got up and left.

In the past, Gu Jingshen would have ordered his legs to be broken long ago.

After getting to know Jiang Xuxu, his way of handling things became much gentler.

Lu Chen is a despicable person, and he's not a good person either.

Executing him would be easy, but what he wanted was for Jiang Xuxu's safety for the rest of her life.

He didn't want the day he was gone to bring all the grudges he had made on Jiang Xuxu's head.

It was already dawn when I got back to the hotel.

Jiang Xuxu was still asleep when Gu Jingshen gently sat down beside her bed, held her hand in his, and kissed her lightly.

"Xuxu, I will never let anyone hurt you, including myself."

In fact, Jiang Xuxu woke up the moment he entered the room.

She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and breath of Gu Jingshen's palm in her hand.

My heart feels tingly and numb.

But why would he say the same thing twice? Would he hurt himself?

Gu Jingshen knew that he didn't have much time left and had to completely eliminate the threats around Jiang Xuxu before leaving.

Or, teach her to be strong.

The investigation has revealed that someone was behind the car accident, but the evidence is insufficient to convict Lu Chen.

Even if they are convicted, they are released after three to five years.

Lu Chen is extremely vengeful. If he cannot kill Jiang Xuxu with a single blow, then he will be the biggest threat to her.

Therefore, Gu Jingshen was willing to let him off the hook and observe him further.

With him protecting Jiang Xuxu, Lu Chen dared not act rashly.

This ill-fated relationship had to be severed by Jiang Xuxu herself.

Gu Jingshen was still pondering when suddenly the person in front of him abruptly pulled his hand away, drawing him closer to face her.

Jiang Xuxu groggily rubbed her face against his, muttering, "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

After saying that, she hugged the person tightly around the waist.

Gu Jingshen found this position uncomfortable, so he simply moved to the bed and lay down with her.

Actually, Jiang Xuxu noticed that his hands were getting cold and deliberately wanted him to go to bed.

The two of them held each other quietly and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Lu Chen left Qingzhou overnight.

Gu Jingshen is a formidable opponent; he needs to go back and make thorough preparations.

When Jiang Xuxu woke up in the early morning, she found herself tightly hugging Gu Jingshen's waist, while he was still asleep.

She gently pulled her hand away, but just as she was about to slip away, someone hugged her from behind, and warm breath came close to her ear.

"What, trying to walk away again?" Gu Jingshen's voice was seductive.

"I didn't! You... don't push your luck." Jiang Xuxu struggled a couple of times, retorting with a hint of reproach.

Gu Jingshen grinned mischievously: "So, you admit you deliberately dragged me to bed last night?"

As he spoke, he gently bit her earlobe.

Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Gu Jingshen, are you a dog?"

As she spoke, she struggled to get out of bed, but Gu Jingshen gently warned her, "Don't move around, or you'll bear the consequences."

His hand slowly slid towards Jiang Xuxu's skirt, and as soon as it touched her thigh, she trembled and flinched.

"So sensitive?"

"You, you mustn't do anything rash." Her warning was utterly unconvincing.

Gu Jingshen teased her deliberately, "If I wanted to—"

"Don't even think about it! Gu Jingshen, we're just pretending... um..."

If he hadn't said that, Gu Jingshen wouldn't have planned to take her, but now it's too late.

Since she says it's just a pretend play, then let's make it real!

Jiang Xuxu didn't want to come, but her whole body was so weak from his kisses that she didn't even have the strength to break free.

"open."

Just then, her phone rang, and Jiang Xuxu freed one hand to pick it up and answer it.

It was Lin Tingran calling.

Gu Jingshen stopped kissing her, but his hand remained on her waist, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Listen... uh!" Jiang Xuxu had just opened her mouth when she couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Lin Tingran quickly asked, "Xuxu, where are you?"

"I……"

Just as Jiang Xuxu was about to speak, Gu Jingshen's kiss pressed against her neck again.

"I'm at the hotel..."

She pushed Gu Jingshen away while adjusting her breathing to speak.

"Your voice sounds strange. Is Jing Shen with you?"

"No...he...went out last night, um!"

Jiang Xuxu blushed and her heart raced as he spoke. She quickly hung up the phone. "Tingran, I'll be at the hospital right away... right away."
