Chapter 144: Coaxing
Bai Ruoyu's goal was clear from the beginning, he didn't come to let Luo Jiuxia empathize with him.
He only needed to leave a mark in Luo Jiuxia's heart, and then borrow the hand of others to leave a seed of doubt in Gu Tingjiao's heart.
When the time comes, he will be able to retire with success.
Although I'm sorry for Luo Jiuxia for doing this, there is no way, he has to live.
Bai Ruoyu sighed slightly, "If you weren't engaged, maybe I would still pursue you, but you already have Gu Tingjiao by your side, I think it's good that our relationship stops here." β
"I'm relieved to know you're doing well. β
Bai Ruoyu's words directly hit Jiuxia's heart.
That's what worries her, too.
It is a lie to keep the other party in mind for so many years and say that there is no fluctuation in the bottom of the heart. But those fluctuations really have nothing to do with love.
Luo Jiuxia saw very clearly that there was no possibility between her and Bai Ruoyu.
Her future has been promised to a domineering man named Gu Tingjiao.
Therefore, seeing that Bai Ruoyu was so open-minded, she smiled and felt embarrassed by her narcissism.
"Me too, I'm happy to know you're going to be fine in the future. I hope you can find your happiness soon. Luo Jiuxia sincerely blessed him.
Bai Ruoyu was stunned, couldn't laugh by herself, and then coughed.
Luo Jiuxia was a little worried about him, Bai Ruoyu waved his hand, took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured out two pills, and swallowed it without changing his face.
"It's okay, ** sick. β
Luo Jiuxia accompanied him to a chair not far away and sat down.
"You're going back to Liaocheng in a few days?" Bai Ruoyu thought about what Luo Jiuxia had just said.
Luo Jiuxia nodded, and the bodyguards rushed over at this time.
Bai Ruoyu's fingers clenched tightly on the side of the chair, and he endured the torture of illness, "Then can we officially exchange a contact information?"
"We don't have to be in touch all the time, it's nice to know that the other person is doing well. After speaking, Bai Ruoyu had another heart-rending cough.
Luo Jiuxia hurriedly took out his mobile phone, "Of course, you have to take good care of yourself." β
On the other side, Gu Tingjiao hung up the phone with a dark face, waited aggrievedly for a minute, and found that Luo Jiuxia didn't even mean to call him to explain.
Gu Tingjiao kicked over the vinegar jar in his heart and sent a message to the bodyguards beside Luo Jiuxia.
He arranged for the bodyguard to be by Luo Jiuxia's side in order to protect Luo Jiuxia's safety, and did not ask the bodyguard to tell him about Luo Jiuxia's dynamics at all times.
That was surveillance, and Gu Tingjiao knew that Luo Jiuxia must be very disgusted.
So he has always respected Luo Jiuxia.
But now it seems that Gu Tingjiao sneered, because the freedom he gave was too much.
The bodyguard over there stared at the phone with cold sweat on his forehead, and then looked up at the young lady who was exchanging contact information with a strange man, and his eyes were black.
Mr. Gu: Who is Luo Jiuxia with now?
The bodyguard was silent for a long time, until Gu Tingjiao sent a second message.
'Photos'.
There were only two words, but the bodyguard shuddered, and sent a photo cleanly.
Fortunately, when taking pictures, Luo Jiuxia was already standing beside Bai Ruoyu, and the distance between the two was more than a meter, so he didn't want to look ambiguous.
Gu Tingjiao looked at the men and women in the photo, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Gu Tingjiao trusted Luo Jiuxia and believed that they would be loyal to each other, but this did not prevent him from being jealous.
He directly asked people to check Bai Ruoyu, and checked the origin of the other party and the people he had recently contacted.
Luo Jiuxia didn't know that his man was thinking about how to punish him.
She saw that the bodyguard was coming, and Bai Ruoyu was not in good health, so she said goodbye to the other party and went back.
Luo Jiuxia remembered the man who was making an awkward scene, and broadcast a video call to the other party.
Just when Luo Jiuxia thought that the other party would not answer, the second before hanging up, it was connected.
Luo Jiuxia looked at the pitch-black video interface, sank for a moment, and then dragged his chin and looked at the camera.
"What are you doing?" Luo Jiuxia was thinking about how to coax her awkward fiancΓ©.
Gu Ting's fingers blocked the camera, feeling very naΓ―ve.
"Enough fun?" the man's voice was inaudible.
Luo Jiuxia tilted his head and smiled teasingly, "No." β
Gu Tingjiao's anger ignited again in his heart, and he wanted to hang up, but he heard the other party slowly add the next sentence.
"Because the most important people are not around, no matter how much fun you have. After speaking, Luo Jiuxia still sighed fakely.
Gu Tingjiao knew that the other party said this to coax himself, and he was still a little happy.
He quietly moved his finger away, "Oh, aren't you fascinated by playing with friends you haven't seen in a while?"
Luo Jiuxia complained in his heart about the other party's 'calculating', but he was still very useful and continued to coax people.
"That's just a moment of joy, I really want you to go to the lantern festival with me. Luo Jiuxia's tone was very serious.
Gu Tingjiao sighed lightly and circled her for the time being.
"Who is your friend you haven't seen in a long time?" Gu Tingjiao asked a fatal question.
Luo Jiuxia's eyes flickered for a moment, but under the man's sharp gaze, he still answered obediently.
"It's Bai Ruoyu. β
Then, Luo Jiuxia stared at the screen blankly, buried his little face on the pillow, and could only see the bright forehead and watery eyes.
When Gu Tingjiao saw her like this, all the blame came to naught.
"Didn't you know him well at the banquet at the beginning, why have you become a friend you haven't seen for a long time?" Gu Tingjiao picked up Bai Ruoyu's information next to him and looked at it again.
Luo Jiuxia frowned in embarrassment, and Gu Tingjiao asked her lightly, "It's inconvenient to tell me?"
Luo Jiuxia felt that the man was really about to get angry, so he had to give an explanation, "But I didn't recognize it, and I didn't recognize it until later." When I was a child, he saved me once. β
Gu Ting's action of flipping through the data stopped, and his dark and deep eyes narrowed.
"Saved you?"
Luo Jiuxia didn't want to explain in detail, what happened to her and Bai Luoyu when they were children formed a bond between the two.
But if she told all the truth, Gu Tingjiao would definitely think about it more, and maybe she would feel guilty.
Luo Jiuxia didn't want to block Gu Tingjiao's sincerity, she admitted that she was still a little timid, and she didn't dare to bet.
"Well, it's not a big deal, I guess I won't contact again in the future. Luo Jiuxia said softly.
Gu Tingjiao was skeptical, he wrote the 'life-saving grace' on the paper and circled it a few times.
The two of them stopped the topic and talked about other things.
After Bai Ruoyu went back, he was bombarded by a phone call.
"How's it going?" said the other's voice with a hint of anxiety.
Bai Ruoyu calmly put the hot water and stretched out his body.
"Everything went well, with Mo Yusheng's help, she believed me. β
The other side laughed, and seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no smile in Bai Ruoyu's eyes, "Mr. Jiang, I hope you don't forget what you promised me." β
