Chapter 10 Are You Not Afraid of Coming to Find Me

Li Shaojue was really depressed. How could he meet this Gu Ruoyan when he came out to relax?

Last night, to have a good night's sleep, he drank a few more bottles of wine with his friends, but he still had a sleepless night. He closed his eyes, and the lingering dream seized the chance and drilled into his mind.

Today, his brain was still in a mess, and he stopped working and had no efficiency to speak of. He had no choice but to come to the seaside to relax.

Then he saw that Gu Ruoyan had finally turned from the illusion in his mind into a real person who was sitting with another man.

Just how many men did this Gu Ruoyan need to have?

The soft and cuddly Gu Jingmeng was still excitedly shaking Li Shaojue's big hand, not noticing the man's depressed mood at all. "Uncle, Xi Xiaoxi also laughed at me for saying that I lost your business card and would never see you again. You see, we are really fated! Why don't we sit down and eat together?"

"No need." Li Shaojue stared at Gu Ruoyan and said to Gu Jingmeng, "Your mother doesn't want to be disturbed by me."

"Eh? Uncle, are you jealous?" Gu Jingmeng blinked her big eyes and pouted, "Uncle, do you like mom?"

"Jingmeng, don't talk nonsense." Gu Ruoyan's face darkened, "Where's Jingxi?"

"Brother just went to the toilet. I'll go find him." Gu Jingmeng pretended to run to find her brother, but she was stopped by her mother.

"Jingyou, go find Jingxi. It's easy for a child to get lost." Gu Ruoyan gave He Jingyou a look, and He Jingyou immediately understood the meaning behind it. He stood up and left.

"Uncle Jingyou, hurry up and get Xi Xiaoxi back!" Gu Jingmeng shouted in a childish voice. She turned around and grabbed Li Shaojue's hand as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"Gu Ruoyan." Seeing that Gu Ruoyan had sent He Jingyou away, Li Shaojue sneered in his heart. Was this to create a world of two people for them? "What are you trying to do?"

"I don't understand what Mr. Li means." Gu Ruoyan was also confused. What did this man find out? "It seems that we have only met once in the psychological clinic."

"Really?"

"Just one encounter? Then what happened to Ji Chucheng that time? What happened to his dream? If not for a long-term understanding, how could a single therapy lead him to feel uneasy?" He wondered in his mind.

The temperature in the air suddenly cooled down. Li Shaojue's aura was cold and heavy, suppressing everyone present. Even Gu Jingmeng sensed that something was wrong and weakly released her small hands.

Gu Ruoyan knew nothing about Li Shaojue's thoughts. She clenched the corner of her clothes. If he knew that she had acquired Gu Group... Gu Ruoyan stared at the man opposite her and waited for him to continue speaking.

"Think about what you did in the consulting room. As a psychologist, how did you use your professional skills?" Li Shaojue's tone was full of ridicule.

"..." The state of the battle just now really made no sense. Gu Ruoyan wondered whether it was because that day she had carelessly finished up the therapy and failed to cure this man's psychological illness? "Mr. Li, I'm sorry that I didn't provide you with enough therapy service..."

"Shut up." Li Shaojue's eyes were about to spit flames. He thought to himself, "If not for enough service, how could it be sufficient?" Only when he really couldn't hold back his desire and looked for her every day would it be sufficient?

"So... you are still suffering from insomnia? Can you describe your condition to me?" Gu Ruoyan really didn't know how to comfort him. She had seen patients with poor therapy effects require to be treated again, but she had never seen those who lost sleep every night and had the energy to fly into a rage out of humiliation.

Although the man in front of her was in a state of rage, he seemed not so timid. On the contrary... he was a little cute.

"..." This time, it was Li Shaojue who was speechless. How could he describe this? That's right. Not only was he suffering from insomnia, but his mind was full of her indecent scenes when he closed his eyes.

There was bitterness that could not be said. The other side was still a woman. Even if he beat her up, he would be unreasonable. This was the first time Li Shaojue had been suppressed to such a state since he was young. He swung his hands and gave Gu Ruoyan a fierce look. Then, he strode away with his long legs. He left without looking back.

"Eh... it turned out that Xi Xiaoxi didn't see this uncle." Gu Jingmeng sighed softly. She could not run up to stop him... As for such a fierce uncle, if Xi Xiaoxi saw him, that coward would definitely be frightened.

She would never admit that she was the one who was afraid of chasing after him.

"Mom, why is this uncle angry?" Gu Jingmeng tilted her head and looked at Gu Ruoyan in a daze.

"Ah... Uncle is sick. Mom didn't cure him." Gu Ruoyan also felt that it was very funny. How could such a big man have such poor psychological endurance?

Seeing that Li Shaojue's car had left, He Jingyou pulled Gu Jingxi over and used his eyes to ask about Gu Ruoyan's situation.

Gu Ruoyan silently made a hand gesture to her forehead, "I'm worrying too much. With Mr. Li's current state, he shouldn't be able to think of what we are discussing."

He could not even sleep well.

The two adults and two children played happily on the beach until night. He Jingyou sent Gu Ruoyan and the two children to the gate of the community. Just as they were about to leave, Gu Ruoyan hesitated for a moment and suddenly smiled. She told Jingxi to take care of his sister and pulled He Jingyou to the corner of the wall. She said a few words to He Jingyou.

"Jingyou, can you take Jingmeng and Jingxi back to your place for a night? I'm afraid I have to entertain a guest here."

He Jingyou instantly understood what she meant. He pondered for a moment, "Can you handle it alone?"

"Don't worry. She can't touch me at this critical time. On the contrary, the more exposed my relationship is, the worse it is for me." Her voice was still soft, but there was a sense of steadiness and determination that had been tempered over the years.

He Jingyou looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then he finally nodded, "Okay."

Watching He Jingyou drive away with the two children, Gu Ruoyan silently cheered herself on in her heart.

For the two children, for her own home, she must be strong.

Sure enough, before she reached the door, she saw Gu Moyan blocking the elevator entrance as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.

"You..." Gu Moyan spoke first. She wanted to ask her where she had gone all day to fool around, but when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back down. She was here to ask for help. She had to slow down her tone.

"... Yanyan." She cleared her throat and opened her mouth, "I have something to talk to you. Would it be convenient for me to sit at your place?"

"Alright." Gu Ruoyan did not look at her directly. She walked around her, pressed the elevator button, and walked in.

It had been so many years, but she did not expect that her fingertips still trembled as she saw Gu Moyan again.

The painful and horrible memory appeared again: the day when she decided to give up her innocence for her mother, the night that seemed to be torn all over, the pills that were going to kill her, and finally, the despair and suffocation that drowned her in the depths of the sea.

It was this woman in front of her who watched from the sidelines, participated all the way, and even pushed her all the way to hell.

She knew that her identity today was a negotiator to fight for the greatest benefits with the greatest rationality.

However, she could not help but blurt out a question.

"Gu Moyan, are you not afraid of coming to find me?"

After all, for the past five years, I have wanted to kill you every day.
