War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 257: The Approach of Hearts

Tang Mubei thought with interest: "It seems Gu Yan is quite fond of my big brother too."

Lu Fusheng said, "These days, I’ve only heard about Gu Yan but never met her, and today I finally got to see her. You wouldn’t believe how anxious that little girl was when she ran into the hospital earlier; it shows she was really worried about your big brother."

Tang Mubei squinted slightly, "Her being worried about my big brother, what business is it of yours?"

Lu Fusheng snorted, then said excitedly, "The little girl was stunned when she saw me just now. I wonder how Tang Yuxiu would react if he knew."

Tang Mubei silently thought for a moment, "He’d probably peel your face right off."

No one could understand Tang Yuxiu’s possessiveness, but knowing him, it’s definitely not something ordinary people can compare to.

Your own woman looking dazed at another man, especially when it’s Lu Fusheng, they’re the so-called most loving yet fighting "good brothers"!

Hearing Tang Mubei’s words, Lu Fusheng touched his nose, "Forget it, you brothers are both violent. I’m a civilized person, I won’t bother with you."

Lu Fusheng, a civilized person?

Ah, nonsense!

If he’s a civilized person, then there are no thugs or violent people in the world!

Tang Mubei looked at him disdainfully: "You don’t even bother with a draft before lying, aren’t you afraid others will laugh their teeth off."

Lu Fusheng, "Who! Who would laugh at me?!"

Tang Mubei, "Me."

Lu Fusheng, "...Then laugh all you want."

Tang Mubei glanced at him, very aloof and disdainfully made two syllables: "Heh heh."

Lu Fusheng, "...What am I supposed to say to that?"

After a while, he stared at Tang Mubei’s face and said, "Second Young Master Tang, your teeth are still there."

This time it was Tang Mubei’s turn to be completely speechless; it’s impossible to communicate with someone whose brain isn’t even engaged!

Outside the door, at the end of the corridor.

Tang Yuxiu sharply sensed someone behind him and swiftly turned his head. When he saw Gu Yan’s face, he was clearly stunned.

"Yanyan?" Tang Yuxiu doubted his eyes a little.

The person he was just thinking about appeared in front of him the next second. Such a feeling was both surprising and delightful, yet a bit unbelievable.

Gu Yan was slightly startled by his sudden turn, and then... she didn’t know what to do.

Before coming, she really wanted to see him, to know how he was, to be by his side, but now that she was here, she felt a bit at a loss.

After a while, she awkwardly raised her hand and waved stiffly, "Hi, you caught me... I was planning to surprise you."

Ah, this was as awkward as it could get, such an opening line, such a lame excuse!

Gu Yan was too embarrassed to look at his face, especially his eyes, her gaze drifted, while Tang Yuxiu’s gaze was fixed on her deeply.

Suddenly, Tang Yuxiu took a step forward, grabbed her arm, gave a slight tug, and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly, as if afraid she’d disappear if he let go.

Gu Yan was momentarily stunned, then reached out to wrap her arms around his waist.

Hmm, this way there was no awkwardness at all. Actually, she was worried earlier that he might not want her here since he hadn’t asked her to come with him when he left.

However, his embrace at this moment dispelled all her worries.

Really, she should try to trust him more, because his thoughts weren’t like she imagined. She was just insecure, always thinking of the worst, while Tang Yuxiu didn’t think so much.

Maybe it was because she had mentioned liking the place by the Mei River and wanting to explore it more, plus his father had previously come to her personally to ask her to leave him, that he didn’t ask her to come with him this time.

But how could Tang Yuxiu know that once he left, she wouldn’t feel like continuing to play?

No matter how good the scenery, it becomes more beautiful because of him, and only makes her happier.

Travelling alone means keeping company with loneliness, even the scenery before your eyes becomes solitary, carrying a hint of desolation.

The two of them embraced each other for a long time before parting.

Tang Yuxiu’s warm palm cupped her face, examining her carefully, while Gu Yan also looked him over.

Tang Yuxiu hadn’t slept for three days; the shadows under his eyes were quite evident, and since he almost hadn’t eaten anything during these three days, his complexion was pale. If she didn’t know he was healthy and he weren’t wearing an impeccably fitted suit, she might have thought he was a patient.

Gu Yan held his hands that cupped her face, frowning slightly, "Have you slept these past few days? You look pale, you’re not taking care of yourself at all."

"You’re not any better, rushing back and probably not getting enough rest either. Why didn’t you take it slower?"

Gu Yan’s complexion was actually much better than Tang Yuxiu’s; at least she had slept a few hours and eaten something every day.

Gu Yan thought, I rushed back to see you, didn’t want to take it any slower.

"I did sleep, and I did eat. But I know you definitely didn’t. Although Chairman Tang is sick now, there’s still hope, so how could you not sleep or eat? If you collapse, what about me... us."

Tang Yuxiu suddenly curved his lips lightly, "Rest assured, I won’t collapse." He let go of her face and naturally took her hand, "Come on, I’ll take you out for a meal. Even if you say you’ve eaten, you surely haven’t had dinner yet today."

Because she hurried to see him, she hadn’t had time to eat yet.

Gu Yan’s face turned slightly red, "Alright, you need to eat more too, people are made of iron and food is made of steel, so don’t tell me you’re not hungry or can’t eat."

Tang Yuxiu turned his head and looked at her, his eyes full of laughter, and nodded slightly, "Okay, I’ll eat with you."

Gu Yan was satisfied at last. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

They passed by Old Sir Tang’s ward without stopping.

Tang Yuxiu was entirely focused on Gu Yan, while Gu Yan didn’t know which ward Old Sir Tang was in.

As for the two people in the ward, they had been glancing outside the door from time to time, quite curious about Tang Yuxiu. However, since the young lady was there, they restrained themselves. They weren’t very familiar with her and didn’t want to scare her away; otherwise, Tang Yuxiu would tear them apart, and even blood brothers wouldn’t forgive this.

Then, they saw Tang Yuxiu walking by hand in hand with the young lady, not sparing even a glance!

Lu Fusheng clicked his tongue and sighed, "Young Master Tang clearly forgets his friends when he sees a beauty! He even ignores his sick father!"

Tang Mubei sneered coldly, "That’s a classic case of sour grapes. If it were you, you’d probably be even more heartless."

Lu Fusheng blinked his mesmerizing eyes, looking innocent, "Am I really that kind of person?"

Tang Mubei glanced at him, then looked away, snorted, and said nothing.

He was just strongly complaining in his heart, damn, a man who looks as handsome as a demon, thank goodness my sexual orientation is normal, and my heart already belongs to someone, or else I’d be enchanted by him.

Damn, that Lu Fusheng guy is going to be struck by lightning!

As if to confirm Second Young Master Tang’s thoughts, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the night sky outside the window, followed by a rumbling thunder.

Second Young Master Tang, "..." So accurate?

He looked at Lu Fusheng, who was still leisurely crossing his legs, heartily eating fruits brought for patients...

A bolt of lightning should just strike him, such a troublemaker won’t be killed by one lightning strike anyway.

Downstairs in the hospital.

After the lightning and thunder, Gu Yan looked at the sky, which was devoid of stars. The heavy clouds also covered the moon. The entire night sky was shrouded by thick clouds.

"It’s about to rain, do you have an umbrella?" Gu Yan asked.

"No, I’ll go buy one," Tang Yuxiu said, then started to walk towards the convenience store next to the hospital.

Gu Yan stopped him, "Let me go instead." Without waiting for his response, she ran towards the convenience store.

Tang Yuxiu watched her back, his eyes deep.

She was still mindful of his germophobia, disliking crowded places, especially not wanting to go to those 24-hour convenience stores because they’re too mixed and cluttered.

She truly understood and cared for him, thinking of him first, which warmed and comforted his heart.

Gu Yan quickly bought an umbrella and returned to him, handing it to him, "I bought the umbrella. If it rains, you’ll be the one holding it, take it."

She smiled at him, lowered her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and reached out to hold his arm, moving closer to him.

Tang Yuxiu took the umbrella and then noticed an extra hand on his arm. He raised his eyes to look at her, and she gave him an even brighter smile.

Tang Yuxiu also smiled faintly, letting her hold his arm, feeling immensely happy and satisfied.

She had finally taken the initiative.

If she was willing to take a step forward, he would not hesitate to close the remaining distance between them until they faced each other without any barriers.

Gu Yan didn’t want to take a car; she just wanted to walk with him on the street.

Tang Yuxiu rarely ignored his germophobia and went along with her.

In all the time they’d known each other, he couldn’t recall walking the streets like this together.

Although it was a very simple thing, he had never done it. Yet seeing Gu Yan, she seemed so relaxed and happy.

Tang Yuxiu suddenly realized that Gu Yan liked such simple love and life.

They could walk hand in hand down any avenue, where people came and went, yet only the person beside him could fully capture his gaze.

Tang Yuxiu suddenly smiled, and this time, the smile was not as faint as before, the curve of his lips more pronounced.

Gu Yan was looking around at the scenery on both sides of the street and missed his fleeting smile.

It was the first time Gu Yan had walked the streets like this with Tang Yuxiu. Although it was a common thing, and she’d strolled countless times with Xue Xianglan, because the person beside her now was Tang Yuxiu, suddenly, the scenery on both sides felt different.

The neon lights were still the same neon lights, but they seemed brighter.

The traffic was still the same traffic, but it seemed more pleasing.

The passersby were still ordinary, but they seemed more amiable.

Her mood had changed, and even her way of seeing the world had changed.

She could only say, she was very happy now!

Because Tang Yuxiu was by her side.
