Five years later, she returned with her children and became the head of a famous medical enterprise. She met the children's biological father when hanging out with them. Her first reaction was to hide, but he grabbed her by the elbow. "Gu Ruoyan, your daughter and son look like me. Isn't it obvious that we are their parents?" She dodged his burning gaze and swallowed her saliva, "Just a coincidence." Hearing this, Gu Jingmeng rushed over and puffed out her cheeks in a huff. "Mummy, you're lying. It's not a coincidence. Last night, you just told me not to recognize daddy..." He sniffed, with his lips hooked in a smile, "Are you going to find more excuses?" She tried to escape, but he forced her to meet his eyes... "This time, no matter what, I will not let you go."
In the presidential private room of Spring River Century Hotel.
"Beep."
A ray of light suddenly fell from the door of the darkroom.
Gu Ruoyan nervously pinched the corner of her pajamas. Her forehead was covered in rivulets of cold sweat as she stared at the man sitting on the bed.
There was a silk scarf tied to his eyes, revealing clear facial contours. Even though the light was dim, one could still see that the man had delicate facial features. His cold and cheerless face was facing Gu Ruoyan. His thin lips curved slightly. He smiled leisurely and said, "Yanyan, since when do you like to play this?"
Her nails straightly dug into her palms. She did not answer Li Shaojue's question. Instead, she took a slow step forward and put her hands around the man's neck stiffly. She closed her eyes and kissed him gently.
Their lips pressed against each other, stirring up a wave of passion.
A cold and refreshing scent of the man's body invaded Gu Ruoyan's senses. He turned over and pressed her under him. His lips and tongue pried open her teeth and forcefully broke through all the barriers in her mouth.
Gu Ruoyan's cheeks were flushed red. She was kissed until her whole body went soft and she was gasping for breath.
In the dark, the scarf suddenly slid down. Gu Ruoyan was shocked and she noticed that he wanted to turn on the light. She hurriedly said, "Don't!"
As soon as the voice came out, Gu Ruoyan's expression paused, and she tried to soften her voice as much as possible. She said in a trembling voice, "I'm shy..."
"Alright."
"Yanyan, I will be gentle. You can relax." Li Shaojue felt the fear in her voice. He stopped and stroked her face comfortingly.
"Hmm..."
It was not until the latter half of the night that Gu Ruoyan was exhausted, and that the man who was hugging her let out the sound of breathing in deep sleep.
She gently lifted her eyes. The man's cold chin and thin lips were close within reach. The bridge of his nose was high, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face. He was undoubtedly handsome.
However, this had nothing to do with her.
Restraining the emotions in her eyes, she forced herself to get up, put on her pajamas, took the room card, tapped it on the door of the adjacent room, and entered.
In the room, a woman in the same pajamas as hers was playing with the mobile phone. When she heard the noise, she immediately looked up. Her face, which strongly resembled Gu Ruoyan's face, was filled with expectation. "How was it?"
"Done."
Gu Ruoyan said casually and straightened her back with a stubborn look in her eyes.
Gu Moyan looked at Gu Ruoyan with disdain and pointed at the water and pills on the table. "Eat them."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to return to the adjacent room when Gu Ruoyan grabbed the corner of her pajamas.
"What do you mean?" She asked angrily, glaring at Gu Ruoyan, "Do you want to go back on your words?"
Gu Ruoyan's expression was slightly cold as she stood still, "Where's the money?"
"My dad has already prepared the money and he is waiting for you at home. You can leave." Gu Moyan pulled back her pajamas, rolled her eyes at Gu Ruoyan, and muttered in a low voice, "Haven't you seen money, country bumpkin?"
The door was slammed shut, and the empty room returned to silence.
More than ten years ago, her parents divorced and her sister, Gu Moyan, who was younger than her by a year, followed her father. She and her mother were kicked out of the house.
After that, a mistress entered the house and Gu Moyan was spoilt by her to be unruly. Gu Moyan thus became the number one socialite whom everyone in C City admired.
On the other hand, Gu Ruoyan was working while studying. After studying at university in a thrifty manner, her life was about to get better. Unexpectedly, her mother was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Now, she was still lying in the hospital because she couldn't afford the operation.
Just when they were at their wit's end, her father and sister found her and said that as long as she used her virgin body as a substitute overnight for her sister to stabilize the marriage with the Young Master of the Li Family, they would give her three hundred thousand.
What else could she do?
Gu Moyan's private life was extremely chaotic. This was not something that could be known by the noble Li Family. If not for the fact that he had slight night blindness, Gu Ruoyan would not even have the chance to be a substitute.
"Heh." Gu Ruoyan curved her lips and laughed at herself. She picked up the pills on the table and swallowed them in a mouthful of cold water.
...
Crescent Moon Bay, a famous brownstone district of C City, was near the mountains and rivers. Every plot of land was extremely expensive.
It had just rained today. The air was damp and the surface of asphalt pavement was steaming with sticky water vapor. Gu Ruoyan stood at the door in her pajamas and shivered.
"Miss Gu," The maid opened the door, looked at Gu Ruoyan who looked completely out of place, and said with contempt, "Come with me."
In the magnificent hall, the crystal lights were shining brightly. Gu Yuan was sitting on the leather sofa reading the newspaper. If she hadn't known his true face, she would have really thought that he was a successful entrepreneur.
Gu Ruoyan stood under the light, her back straight. Her gorgeous face was not covered by the cheap clothes at all. Instead, she was full of pride. She got straight to the point. "Money."
Hearing her voice, Gu Yuan hurriedly got up, looking impatient. "Is everything done?"
"Yes."
Gu Yuan's heart relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He suddenly thought of something and his eyes became stern. "Have you taken the pills?"
"Yes."
After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Yuan's heart was completely relieved, and his face could not help but be ecstatic.
If he managed to get the backing of a powerful patron like the Li Family, he would not have to worry about how to get into the celebrity circle!
At that time, many people would be willing to curry favor with him!
"Well done." The smile on Gu Yuan's face grew bigger and bigger. He happily picked up his cigar and took a puff. Then, he seemed to have remembered something. "Oh right, the hospital called yesterday afternoon. Your mother was already dead."
In an instant, Gu Ruoyan felt as if she was struck by lightning.
Dead?
It happened yesterday!
Gu Ruoyan trembled all over. Her lowered hands trembled. She clutched her palms tightly before she managed to regain a trace of reason from the extreme pain. "Did you just want to use me?"
"So what?" A hint of impatience appeared on Gu Yuan's heartless face. "You should be glad that you still have some value. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to get this little bit of money."
Gu Ruoyan was so angry that her entire body was trembling like an angry lion. "What I want is not money!"
Without her mother, what was the use of her having more money!
"It's a waste of money for her to live!" Gu Yuan threw the bank card in front of her and looked at her with disgust. "Get out of here."
"I told you! What I want is not money!" She lunged at Gu Yuan. "Since my mother died, I won't let you have a good time!"
However, before she could get close, she was stopped by the bodyguards. The hard fists landed on her body severely.
Gu Yuan's expression was cold as he looked down at her. "I was planning to let you live for two more days, but you don't know how to appreciate favors. Deal with her."
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Ruoyan did not seem to feel the pain coming from her internal organs. She only stared fiercely at Gu Yuan. Her eyes were filled with despair and madness. She was like the Hell Asura. Anyone who looked at her would be shocked.
The sky was gloomy. The lightning and thunder had been forming for a long time. But in an instant, accompanied by the pouring rain, they fiercely smashed down.
" Don't say anymore word than you already have, don't..." I stuck a finger out at him, sauntering away on my heels when a hand wrapped itself around my arm.
