The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 100 Dead Foot, You're Quite Thoughtful! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Night falls, and the sea is at its most beautiful.

Inside the spacious and brightly lit private room, everyone was toasting and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Gu Heng sat in the main seat, flanked by Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ruan.

The banquet started at 7 p.m. and has been going on for almost three hours now.

Four bottles of Singleton 39-year-old liquor, worth over ten thousand yuan, have already been opened.

Under the dazzling lights, the amber-colored liquor emitted a magnificent glow.

“Gu Heng…”

Congratulations on your hard-won success and the fulfillment of your wishes!

Luo Xiwen raised her wine glass, her beautiful eyes seemingly shimmering with tears.

Her dignified and beautiful face was flushed with an alluring blush due to the alcohol.

Gu Heng looked at Luo Xiwen with a slightly burning gaze.

As the saying goes, one can taste the flavors of food and sex. He had only just tasted the forbidden fruit when, due to the challenge mission, he had to choose abstinence.

For more than two months, I lived like an ascetic every day.

Now that the challenge has been successfully completed, the "golden hoop" that had always been hanging over Gu Heng's head has naturally been removed.

Gu Heng was actually aware of Luo Xiwen's feelings.

If it weren't for that unfortunate night, and if the challenge hadn't come so suddenly, Luo Xiwen might have already been his woman two months ago.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, it was postponed until this time.

Holding her wine glass, Luo Xiwen felt Gu Heng's increasingly intense gaze and suddenly seemed to have a premonition of something.

"OK?"

Looking at Luo Xiwen's blushing face, Gu Heng suddenly asked softly.

It was somewhat abrupt, somewhat inexplicable.

But Gu Heng knew that Luo Xiwen could understand what he meant.

You know my ulterior motives, and I know your feigned modesty.

We're all adults; there's no need for so many complicated rules.

"Um……"

Luo Xiwen nodded slightly, his voice barely audible.

When Gu Heng saw Luo Xiwen agree, the corners of his lips were harder to control than the gun of the CF principal.

"Going to the restroom, come back and collect the cups!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

As one of the most upscale banquet venues in Jilin Province's catering industry, Zhenhai's private rooms are equipped with restrooms and food service areas as standard.

Gu Heng walked to the vicinity of the restroom and saw Jiang Ruan standing in front of the public washbasin washing her hands.

Their eyes met through the dressing mirror.

"Should I call Sister Li in advance and ask her to prepare a pot of hangover soup for you?"

Jiang Ruan looked at Gu Heng, who was clearly drunk. Her face was expressionless, and her voice remained as cold as ever.

"No need."

"I'm not going home tonight, so who's going to drink the hangover soup for?"

Gu Heng waved his hand and responded casually.

Not going home?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan, who was wiping her hands with a tissue, suddenly paused slightly.

"not going home?"

"Then where are you going?"

Jiang Ruan appeared indifferent on the surface, but in reality, she was in a state of turmoil.

"A man who doesn't come home at night."

Gu Heng stood less than half a meter behind Jiang Ruan. Looking into Jiang Ruan's beautiful eyes through the mirror, a slight sneer on his lips, he asked her in return, "Where do you think he can go?"

"Go wherever you want."

As if in a fit of pique, Jiang Ruan threw the tissues in her hand into the wastebasket and turned to leave: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it does."

"Because you'll be responsible for driving it to me later."

Jiang Ruan had only taken two steps when Gu Heng's voice drifted over again.

Send it over?
If you go to a hotel with another woman, am I supposed to deliver the hotel room to you and her?
Jiang Ruan's eyes widened, and her breathing became erratic.

"Gu Heng!"

"Don't go too far!"

Jiang Ruan, with her back to Gu Heng, said through gritted teeth.

"Excessive?" "Assistant Jiang, what makes you say that?"

Gu Heng turned around and looked at Jiang Ruan with feigned surprise: "As your assistant, how is it too much for me to ask you to drive me around?"

"you……"

Jiang Ruan was somewhat speechless.

"Actually, I could go home tonight."

Gu Heng took two steps back and leaned against the washbasin. He looked at Jiang Ruan's perfectly straight shoulders and suddenly said this.

Jiang Ruan, who had her back to Gu Heng, heard Gu Heng say this and her eyes gradually regained some brightness.

"Then go back."

Jiang Ruan feigned calmness, but her tone inexplicably softened.

"beg me."

Gu Heng slowly uttered two words.

"Come back or not, it's up to you!"

In an instant, Jiang Ruan's tone returned to its original state.

After saying that, he strode away, his back and gait carrying a strange sense of sullenness.

Gu Heng knew this would be the outcome, so he didn't care at all.

He turned around, went into the toilet, and turned on the water.

……

The event ended with everyone enjoying themselves.

After sending Huang Xue and the others away by car, Gu Heng looked at Jiang Ruan. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes said it all.

"Chairman Gu!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Not wanting to lose face in front of Luo Xiwen, Jiang Ruan finished speaking through gritted teeth, then took the keys to her Maybach GLS600 and strode towards where the car was parked.

'I should have drunk with them earlier!'

Jiang Ruan felt a strange pang of regret.

Soon, Jiang Ruan drove the car to the front of Zhenhai.

With the general manager of Zhenhai bowing and scraping, Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen stepped onto the electric foot pedal and sat in the back seat.

"Go to Beichun Junlan Hotel."

After Gu Heng got into the car, he gave instructions to Jiang Ruan.

"it is good!"

Jiang Ruan was furious.

Especially when she thought about what might happen between Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen tonight, she felt a sharp pang of sadness for no reason, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

'If I were to beg him now…'

'Will he abandon Roshwin and come home with me?'

Jiang Ruan, who had always been extremely determined, wavered for the first time ever. She didn't know why, but seeing Gu Heng about to have an intimate relationship with another woman made her unwilling.

However, before Jiang Ruan could come to a conclusion.

The Beichun Junlan Hotel, located in the same city center as Zhenhai, is already within easy reach.

Perhaps it was a "professional habit" developed during this period, but Jiang Ruan subconsciously escorted Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen to the gentle slope at the main entrance of the hotel.

By the time Jiang Ruan came to her senses, the hotel greeter had already opened the car door.

'Dead foot!'

'You're quite thoughtful!'

Jiang Ruan felt so angry that her nipples were aching.

At this moment, as she looked through the car window at Gu Heng and his companion walking hand in hand into the hotel, the bitterness in her heart was so intense that it was indescribable, and she even felt a slight throbbing pain in her heart.

What's wrong with me?

Jiang Ruan took a deep breath, feeling that something was wrong with her.

'Could it be...'

'impossible! ’

'Absolutely impossible!'

Jiang Ruan immediately dismissed the thought as soon as she considered that possibility.

but……

How could she know that some seeds, once planted, will eventually blossom even after being hammered and burned by fire?

PS: 5k for now, will make up for it with 8k tomorrow.
