War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 259: If You Loved Me Like I Love You
Tang Yuxiu, I love you so much, do you know that?
Tang Yuxiu, did my expression of love reach your heart?
Do you love me as much as I love you?
Perhaps you do, otherwise, why would you stand in front of me, shielding me from the wind and rain, protecting me from all dangers?
That sentence, "Tang Yuxiu, I love you too," was like fireworks exploding in the lake, with colorful splashes, bright and dazzling.
At that moment, Tang Yuxiu felt like the whole world was brilliant.
Before Tang Yuxiu could react, Gu Yan dropped another bomb on him.
Gu Yan suddenly stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and a gentle kiss fell on his lips.
She was rarely this spontaneous; even if she initiated a kiss before, it was just a light peck on the lips, but this time was completely different as she gently kissed him.
This action made Tang Yuxiu’s heart race with excitement.
His reason was half lost, an unusual occurrence.
He tightened his grip on the umbrella handle, and with the other hand, he clasped her head, eager to take control.
He kept holding the umbrella, ensuring the rain wouldn’t drench her again. The rain pounded on the umbrella, making a dull sound, but their mood was completely opposite to the sound of the rain.
On this day, this night, everyone passing by saw a couple embracing and kissing passionately in the heavy rain, as if they would do so until the end of time.
In a place out of sight, a camera was secretly pointing at them, with the flash off, silently capturing one photo after another.
The person taking the candid photos looked at the pictures on the camera, unable to hide their excitement, "Tomorrow’s headlines are ready! This is going to be huge!"
Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan finally parted after a long time, Gu Yan felt a bit weak, leaning on Tang Yuxiu’s shoulder, breathing slowly to regain her strength.
Tang Yuxiu let her lean on him, waiting quietly for her.
Neither of them spoke, but there was a clear feeling that their hearts were revealed to each other, gradually drawing closer.
In the large mall, Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu went straight to the second floor, each picking a set of clothes to change into.
The clothes Tang Yuxiu wore were chosen by Gu Yan, a more casual outfit.
Gu Yan thought, she has known Tang Yuxiu for so long, and he never wore anything other than black suits and white shirts every day. No matter how handsome Tang Yuxiu was, she was getting visually tired.
So, taking this opportunity, she had to change his outfit!
Seeing Tang Yuxiu emerge from the fitting room, he was still in a white shirt, but not the formal business kind, just a regular casual style, paired with casual pants, even if they were still black, but he looked different overall.
Younger, more handsome, with a bit less stern and cold demeanor.
Gu Yan nodded, very satisfied.
However, Tang Yuxiu, who had never worn such clothes before, couldn’t help but furrow his brows. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"I think this outfit feels awkward."
"I think it looks great!"
Tang Yuxiu said, "...Can I change into something else?" He pointed at a certain stiff suit in the suit section, "I think those clothes suit me better."
Gu Yan immediately put on a stern face, "Tang Yuxiu, you have to listen to me now! If I say you look good in these clothes, you do, and you can’t object!"
Tang Yuxiu stopped speaking, and Gu Yan huffed, then picked a few more sets of similar clothes for him and had the sales associate pack them up.
Tang Yuxiu couldn’t help but say, "One set would have been enough, why buy more?"
"For you to wear!"
"I really don’t feel comfortable, there’s no need to buy them."
"No way!" Gu Yan refused flatly, "You’re just not used to wearing them yet because you’ve worn them little. Once you wear them more, you’ll get used to them. These clothes are much better than those monotonous suits and white shirts in your wardrobe!"
Gu Yan brought up those suits and white shirts with a clearly disdainful expression.
Tang Yuxiu, "..." He thought those clothes were quite good, he was used to wearing them.
Do men and women have different tastes?
Alright, since Gu Yan liked it, he would endure it.
As she said, maybe he’d get used to it after wearing them a few more times.
After buying the clothes and settling the bill, Tang Yuxiu instructed them to be sent to Lixin Villa tomorrow morning, then took Gu Yan’s hand and entered the elevator to dine on the top floor.
It wasn’t until they left that the girls in the clothing department suddenly realized, "Was that...the President just now?"
"It seems... it was!"
Gu Yan had no idea that this mall was actually under the Tang Family!
"Oh my, was that his girlfriend just now?"
"Looks like it!"
"The President is so good to his girlfriend, catering to her every wish, unlike the tall and aloof image I had of him."
"The President only treats that lady like this, I suppose."
Everyone nodded, yes!
They had never seen Young Master Tang treat anyone like that; in fact, no one had seen it, except for Gu Yan.
"Oh, the President has a girlfriend now, we stand no chance!" someone sighed.
"Actually, it’s not regrettable. A man like the President is only to be admired from afar, not approached closely!"
"Makes sense!"
"Alright, everyone, break it up. Stop gossiping about the boss and get back to work."
Once the gossip was over, the employees returned to their stations to continue working.
On the top floor of the mall, by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Tang Yuxiu gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Gu Yan.
After they sat down, Tang Yuxiu let Gu Yan order the dishes.
Gu Yan knew Tang Yuxiu’s taste and ordered a few dishes they both liked, then handed the menu to the waiter.
Sitting by the window, Gu Yan had an easy view of most of the area below.
Jiang City was a big and bustling city, which Gu Yan always knew, but looking down from such a height allowed her to see a vast range, so vast it was incredible, yet it was only a small part of Jiang City.
This area was lit up everywhere, with streetlights, neon signs, and residential lights all flickering faintly, making everything and everyone seem like they were immersed in a sea of lights, incredibly beautiful.
Especially as it was raining then, raindrops fell on the window and slid down the floor-to-ceiling windows, spreading into long streaks of water that made the dazzling lights below even more mesmerizing and dreamlike.
"It’s so beautiful."
Tang Yuxiu took a few glances below too and said, "If you like it, I’ll take you to a place next time where you can see the whole of Jiang City."
"Is there really such a place? How high would that be?"
"There is. Don’t worry, no matter how high, I’ll be there with you."
"Alright, you said it, don’t forget it when the time comes."
"I’m still young, my memory isn’t that bad."
Gu Yan laughed, "What if you get early-onset dementia?"
"Even then, I won’t forget you."
Gu Yan was taken aback once again, her heart filled with warmth. The words and actions from him in recent days had moved her so much it was overflowing!
The dishes gradually arrived; Gu Yan had ordered a total of six dishes, including a soup.
"Come on, eat up. You promised to eat with me, you can’t just eat a little and brush me off."
"Alright, I always keep my word," Tang Yuxiu said.
Gu Yan picked some dishes for him and filled his plate full.
"Eat it all."
Tang Yuxiu gave her a helpless glance but nodded, "Alright!"
Only then did Gu Yan nod and start eating herself.
She was really hungry, and upon seeing that Tang Yuxiu was fine, she relaxed completely, and naturally, so did her stomach; then she gradually felt the hunger.
Gu Yan ate heartily but didn’t forget to urge Tang Yuxiu to eat.
Tang Yuxiu, seeing Gu Yan’s good appetite and how deliciously she was eating, found himself wanting to eat too, although he hadn’t felt hungry or had any appetite before.
Besides, he had promised Gu Yan to eat up all the dishes she picked.
As Tang Yuxiu ate, he felt his stomach ask for more to get full.
Seeing Tang Yuxiu keep eating, Gu Yan finally felt relieved and satisfied.
After their meal, they looked outside the window as the rain gradually lessened. The weather was still unstable, with the rain coming fiercely and quickly but also subsiding just as fast.
Tang Yuxiu suggested Gu Yan stay seated for a bit longer and instructed the waiter to pack some food for him to take to the hospital for Tang Mubei.
"By the way, Gu Yan, how did you know I was there?"
"That hospital belongs to Xiang Linghao; he’s a good friend of yours, so when your father got into an accident, he was naturally sent to his hospital. I rushed over immediately, but I didn’t know which ward your father was in, so I looked for Xiang Linghao. But he wasn’t in his office, and my old phone was with you, and the new one didn’t have his number. When I remembered I could call you, I realized my phone had run out of battery."
No wonder he couldn’t reach her after several attempts; it turned out her phone was dead.
He had thought she was overthinking again, about to misunderstand him and end up upset.
Fortunately, it wasn’t like that. Tang Yuxiu sighed in relief completely this time.
"He was working on a new medicine for my dad. When he gets into research, he forgets the time."
"Oh, so that’s how it was."
"What happened next?"
"Then I found a nurse and tried asking her which ward the chairman was in. But she thought I was just a woman trying to get close to you two brothers, so she wouldn’t tell me. Luckily, a kind person knew where you were and took me upstairs."
"A kind person? What kind of person?"
"It’s just..." When Gu Yan mentioned this person, she suddenly remembered, where did he go?
After seeing Tang Yuxiu, her eyes were only on him, and she completely forgot there was someone else next to her, walking straight to Tang Yuxiu, ignoring him entirely.
Later on, she was so focused on being with Tang Yuxiu that she completely forgot about the man.
Now that she thought about it, she realized that when she and Tang Yuxiu left the hospital, she didn’t see him on that floor anymore.
Gu Yan slapped her forehead, "Oh no, that person guided me to find you, and I just ignored him when I walked over to you without saying thank you! How rude of me!"
"What does that person look like?"
"Incredibly handsome! Just outrageously good-looking! I have never seen a man who could be so breathtakingly beautiful."
Gu Yan had an especially deep impression of him because the man was just too stunningly beautiful!
