The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 197: Brother Will Teach You~

Gu Yuan said, "Okay."

Not long after Gu Yuan left, Tu Kuan walked in and saw Chi Yu with a silly grin on his face.

Tu Kuan called out, "Hey, Chi Yu?"

Chi Yu didn’t react.

Tu Kuan said, "Hey, dumb dog?"

Chi Yu looked over.

Tu Kuan: "..."

Around eleven o’clock, Gu Yuan met Lu Tinglou.

"Gu Yuan."

From a distance, Lu Tinglou called out Gu Yuan’s name.

Gu Yuan glanced over, seeing a man, dashing and in a suit, walking towards her.

Lu Tinglou was the son of the owner of Hengyuan, known as the Crown Prince of Hengyuan. With such a background, Lu Tinglou could have simply inherited the family business, but he started his own venture in Hong Kong.

Central Court Real Estate is thriving, and this year, Lu Tinglou has become a new darling in Hong Kong’s real estate world.

This cocktail party for the new construction project was to celebrate Central Court Real Estate’s successful acquisition of a piece of development land in Lizhou, known as the most expensive land in Hong Kong. It’s easy to imagine how much thought and effort Lu Tinglou put into this. Even a new star needs to continue achieving new heights.

Everyone in the industry is optimistic. It won’t be long before the project developed on this land becomes a cash cow.

"Zheng Qin said you’d arrive at eleven, and you actually showed up exactly at eleven." Gu Yuan looked at her watch, smiling as she spoke to Lu Tinglou.

"That’s because I know you hate tardy people," Lu Tinglou said with a warm smile. "So I really couldn’t delay even a moment."

"Old classmates are an exception too." Gu Yuan smiled more relaxedly.

They were high school classmates, not only in the same class but also desk mates.

Back then, in Class 2 of the third year, there was a pretty honor student and a handsome top student sitting together. The whole school knew about it. The rumors about Gu Yuan and Lu Tinglou circulated in that high school for several years.

The lunch was very enjoyable.

Lu Tinglou had endless topics to talk about in front of Gu Yuan. He was very sociable, discussing everything from business to personal matters, large and small. Compared to Lu Tinglou, Gu Yuan was slightly less talkative.

Lu Tinglou used to joke that his personality perfectly complemented Gu Yuan’s.

"I came to Sui City several times in the past few months, but unfortunately, you weren’t there. Later I heard you went to a rural area to start a farmhouse business. Is that really true?"

"If the rumors have reached your ears, what isn’t true?" Gu Yuan raised her wine glass.

Lu Tinglou raised his wine glass too.

They clinked glasses and each took a small sip.

"So it seems to be true," Lu Tinglou said, putting down his glass, and the lightheartedness on his face gradually faded, becoming more serious than before.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan put down her utensils and placed her hands flat on the table. "If it’s inconvenient to talk about, you don’t have to."

Lu Tinglou looked surprised. "You know what I want to say?"

Gu Yuan looked back at him intently, as if she could see through Lu Tinglou with that gaze.

But Lu Tinglou wasn’t fazed by her gaze; instead, he candidly asked the question on his mind. "Did you break up with him?"

Gu Yuan leaned back, her posture lazy and casual. "Yes, we broke up."

As soon as she said that.

In the next second, Lu Tinglou sat up formally, clasped his hands, and clapped them gently twice. "Breaking up is good!"

Gu Yuan laughed out loud. "What makes you say that?"

Lu Tinglou also leaned back, looking very pleased. "You two were just not suitable for each other, whether in terms of capability or personality."

By capability, Lu Tinglou clearly meant the disparity in status between Gu Yuan and Chi Yu.

Calling Chi Yu an actor might not sound nice, but in a family like Lu Tinglou’s, where the schools they graduated from and the people they associated with were top-tier, their backgrounds were never humble.

Chi Yu was just an actor, entirely made famous by Gu Yuan, and his level was quite far from hers.

Of course, Lu Tinglou wouldn’t say these things in front of Gu Yuan.

"You only find out if two people are suited for each other after spending time and getting to know each other," Gu Yuan shared her view.

"So, breaking up means you weren’t suited for each other," Lu Tinglou couldn’t hide his happiness anymore.

He couldn’t hold back and laughed heartily, adding, "Breaking up is a good thing, a timely stop-loss measure."

Gu Yuan rested her chin on her hand. "You seem very happy."

Lu Tinglou laughed and said, "No, you’re mistaken."

Gu Yuan: "..."

After lunch, Lu Tinglou introduced Gu Yuan to several bigwigs in Hong Kong. They were cultured and well-mannered business people who never underestimated Gu Yuan for being a female entrepreneur. Upon learning her identity, they treated her even more courteously, careful with their words to avoid offending her.

The afternoon passed like this.

Lu Tinglou escorted Gu Yuan back to the Peninsula Hotel.

In the magnificent lobby, the Gothic-style columns looked splendid.

Before parting, Lu Tinglou said to Gu Yuan, "Do you remember you owe me a dance?"

Gu Yuan smiled. "Forgot."

"..." Lu Tinglou was speechless for a few seconds, then continued, "Whether you remember or not, as long as I remember, it’s enough. Pay me back tonight."

Gu Yuan: "I haven’t danced in a long time, I’m not very good at it anymore."

Whether that was true or not, Lu Tinglou wouldn’t probe.

He smiled with a charming roguishness, looking at her. "Even if you can’t dance at all, it’s fine."

Then he leaned forward, his upper body slowly moving closer to Gu Yuan. "Big brother can teach you~"

"Who’s big brother?"

"Me," Lu Tinglou pointed to himself.

Gu Yuan relaxed and said, "What a change in tone, is this still the aloof desk mate I know?"

Lu Tinglou looked puzzled. "I thought this is the style you like."

Isn’t Chi Yu just this style?!

Gu Yuan shook her head, chuckled, and brushed him off as she prepared to leave.

However, after she brushed Lu Tinglou aside, she saw Chi Yu standing not far away. He looked like a cat out looking for food after waking up at night, his eyes glinting with a hunting light—

Gu Yuan: "..."

Lu Tinglou also saw Chi Yu.

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t surprised.

Didn’t they break up?

What is this situation now?

And he came to Hong Kong too!!

At this moment, Lu Tinglou’s mind was filled with ellipses.

Chi Yu was already striding over, each step imbued with a wind-like momentum. As he got closer, he first shot Lu Tinglou a hostile look. Lu Tinglou, being who he was, would certainly return the look.

But what Lu Tinglou didn’t expect at all was for Chi Yu to immediately say to Gu Yuan, "Yuanyuan, he glared at me."

As soon as these words came out—

Lu Tinglou: ???

What the heck?

I glared at you?

Did I glare at you first?

Clearly, you provoked me first!

But before Lu Tinglou could explain, he saw Chi Yu naturally bend down and rest his head on Gu Yuan’s shoulder. "Yuanyuan, why did you come back so late? I’ve been napping all afternoon."

Lu Tinglou, hearing this, "..."
