Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

The next day.

Neither of them asked each other why Lu Qingyun was in that coffee shop that day, nor how Gu Jinming knew she was there, as if they didn't want to break the balance.

When Lu Qingyun returned from her morning run, she ran into Old Madam Gu, who was taking a stroll.

She is in much better spirits than before. She no longer complains of headaches or insomnia at night, and she feels much more agile when walking.

"Qingqing, you're up so early again?"

Lu Qingyun nodded and then asked about her current physical condition.

Madam Gu smiled broadly, "This is all thanks to the incense you gave me. I light it every night and fall asleep almost immediately. I've felt much better lately."

"By the way, does your friend have any preferences? We've taken such an expensive gift from him, we should at least give him something in return."

As she spoke, Madam Gu reached into her pocket for her card.

Although she didn't know why the Gu family liked to throw money at people so easily, she had to admit that it suited Lu Qingyun's tastes.

She coughed lightly, "It's alright, Grandma. I'm quite familiar with him, I'll return the gift myself, you don't need to worry about it."

After thinking for a moment, Madam Gu nodded and did not ask about it again.

Lu Qingyun had just finished running and was a little sweaty, so she said, "I'll go wash up first, Grandma, you can take your time strolling around."

Madam Gu hummed in agreement. After watching Lu Qingyun enter the room, she slowly came to her senses and asked Honglian beside her with some confusion.

"Are Qingqing's friends that amazing?"

Honglian also felt that this young mistress was a bit too mysterious.

She grew up in the countryside, which explains why she wasn't tanned. Not only is she good-looking, but how do you explain her aura that rivals that of President Gu?

Not only that, but I also know her massage techniques and her knowledge of medicinal herbs...

Honglian shook her head. "Perhaps the young mistress is quite clever, so the friends she makes are also quite capable."

Madam Gu suddenly realized that this was true, and said with a smile, "That's right, I felt that Qingqing was smart the moment I saw her."

-

Lu Qingyun came out of the bathroom after washing up, holding a towel to dry her wet hair. When she walked into the living room, she immediately saw Gu Jinming sitting there looking at her.

Even when a man is in a wheelchair, his innate charisma remains undiminished.

That face is really beautiful.

"what happened?"

That gaze was too intense.

"There's a banquet tonight, you'll come with me."

After the girl finished washing up, she was wearing a pink, knee-length dress that Angie had specially bought for her.

She has fair skin, and when she doesn't speak, she appears aloof and ethereal, like a nocturnal sprite.

The pink color gave her a somewhat endearing, unexpected charm.

Somehow cute.

Gu Jinming looked away, but he couldn't bring himself to look at the documents in front of him.

My mind was filled with images of the girl's long, slender legs.

Tsk.

"Okay, what kind of banquet is it? Should I dress up specially?"

Lu Qingyun has never been patient when drying her hair; she just rubbed it a few times and wanted to put the towel down.

Water was still dripping from the ends of her hair, falling onto the side of her neck and sliding down to her collarbone, making her look somewhat alluring.

Gu Jinming glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, frowning at her wet hair. "No need, come here."

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Qingyun's eyes as she slowly walked over.

"Sit down."

Gu Jinming raised his chin.

Unsure of what he was going to do, Lu Qingyun sat down as instructed.

"Give me the towel."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun handed over the towel she was holding.

Then he saw Gu Jinming wheel his wheelchair up behind her. Because of his height, even while sitting, he could reach Lu Qingyun's hair to dry it.

The next second, Gu Jinming picked up a towel and began to dry her still-damp hair.

Lu Qingyun: ?!

What does this person mean?

Is anyone nearby?

She glanced around out of the corner of her eye, but didn't see anyone else in the room.

"Don't you know that not drying your hair will cause a headache?"

Gu Jinming frowned as he dried her hair.

"trouble……"

She muttered something under her breath.

But Gu Jinming's hearing was exceptional, and he still heard what she said.

"Trouble can't be ignored."

Why are you acting like an old father?

Gu Jinming: ...

My good intentions have been wasted on the dogs.

His touch was gentle, and the wiping felt quite comfortable. Gradually, Lu Qingyun felt drowsy and, with her eyes half-closed, she actually fell asleep.

Gu Jinming looked at the sleeping Lu Qingyun and fell silent.

How can you fall asleep like this?

What he didn't know was that Lu Qingyun was busy researching the prescription that night and hadn't slept much.

Fearing that her secret would be discovered, she got up early in the morning and went for her usual run. Now, the comfortable pressure of the massage made her want to sleep.

Gu Jin touched the ends of her hair, and seeing that she had seen enough, she put the towel aside.

“Jin…”

"Shhh."

Tang Meng came over with documents in his hands, but the words he was about to say were swallowed back down by Gu Jinming's shushing.

"I've brought the documents for you."

Tang Meng mouthed the words.

Gu Jinming hummed in agreement, gesturing for him to put the documents aside. He then asked him to bring a blanket over, covered Lu Qingyun with it, and sat down to browse the documents.

Looking at the two of them enjoying their peaceful life together, Tang Meng inexplicably felt a bit superfluous and carefully stepped out of the room.

-

It was already afternoon when Lu Qingyun woke up.

She opened her eyes, still a little dazed looking around the room.

"Have you had enough sleep?"

Gu Jinming's voice came from beside her. She mumbled an "Mmm" and sat up, propping herself up on her arms.

"what time is it?"

Her voice was a little hoarse because she had just woken up.

Gu Jinming handed her the warm water that had already been poured.

"It's almost two o'clock, get up, tidy up, and have something to eat."

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement, folded the blanket around herself and put it aside. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her head.

After finishing her meal, she changed into an outfit suitable for the banquet, put on some light makeup, and got into the car with Gu Jinming, phone in hand.

After getting into the car, Lu Qingyun stared at the back of Tang Meng's head for a few seconds, making Tang Meng feel like he was about to get a hole in the back of his head.

Lu Qingyun slowly withdrew her gaze, took out her phone, and sent Yuan Yu a message: 【Send me your address.】

Yuan Yu: [Huh? Qingqing, you're sending me something?]

Lu Qingyun: [The medicine we talked about yesterday.]

Yuan Yu, who was cracking the program, twitched at the corner of his mouth. "Qingqing, you're not talking about that Primordial Spirit-Replenishing Pill, are you?"

Qingqing, you're really not joking, are you?

Lu Qingyun: [Yes, the address.]

Qingqing probably doesn't know how important this elixir is. I should give her the address first, otherwise she might think I'm looking down on her.

Yuan Yu sent the address over.

After receiving the address, she clicked save.

Gu Jinming, who was next to her, was still working on documents and did not notice Lu Qingyun.

More than an hour later, the car stopped in front of a rather retro-styled courtyard house.
