ves in poring over case files and drafting materials. She needed to meticulously compare every detail of the original trial with new evidence to support her counter-arguments, a massive undertaking....Gu Ruandong really didn't have the habit of bringing girls home, especially one wearing a school uniform and looking like a high school student. So Lu Yaoyao didn't get out of the car, he had to bend down and carry her from the car.

I've been hugged a few times now, so I'm getting the hang of it.

Lu Yaoyao also directly used her hand to hug his neck and fix herself, although she was drunk, in a hazy state, she seemed to recognize that it was Gu Ruandong, because he had a good smell of tobacco on him, a kind of tobacco smell that could produce hormones.

"Are you Gu Ruandong"

"What then"

Lu Yao Yao then started to giggle and slid off his body. “I can walk by myself.”

Although it is unstable, it can actually stand on its own.

Out of the elevator, she leaned against the wall and fumbled her way to her front door. Gu Ruandong followed close behind at a leisurely pace, keeping a step's distance.

Lu Yaoyao saw a ghost today. She tried the password lock several times but it was always wrong. Then she tried her fingerprint and face recognition, but they both failed. She just couldn't get into her own house.

She shouted to Gu Ruandong behind her.

“Have a try!”

Gu Ruandong took a step forward, facing the password lock's camera head-on. With a click, the door actually opened. Lu Yaoyao walked inside, feeling something was amiss, but her mind was fuzzy and she couldn't think straight.

After returning home, the person became honest and behaved well, not making a fuss or causing any trouble. They simply lay down on the sofa without changing their clothes or removing their makeup and fell asleep, showing no signs of caution towards Gu Ruandong at all.

I slept all the way until dawn. I woke up groggily and looked around, a cold sweat instantly breaking out. It wasn't her home, nor was it a hotel.

She was in a strange room, on a strange bed, and the room was...

This is a very impersonal and cold style of decoration, everything is gray, it has nothing to do with the dreamy and warm atmosphere of her own room.

She thought for a while about last night's wrap party. She had some fragmented memories, but she remembered drinking too much and falling down. Someone sent her home, it seemed like that male actor and Ruan Ruan, or maybe Gu Ruandong

Gu Ruandong

She quickly scrambled out of bed and headed for the door. As soon as she opened it, she was suddenly thrown off. The layout of this house was exactly the same as her own, even the view outside the window was identical.

But she was sure this house wasn't her home.

Her house is decorated in a warm and cozy style. This house isn't clear about its specific style, but it feels cold and hard. Every piece of furniture and decoration seems like it belongs in a museum or showroom. It has a sense of design, but there's no feeling that anyone actually lives there.

She stood outside the bedroom door, feeling a sense of displacement, suspecting she hadn't woken up and was dreaming. In a hurry, she returned to her bed in the bedroom, lay down, closed her eyes, and silently counted to ten, hoping that when she opened them again, the bizarre scene would have vanished.

After counting to ten, she mustered her courage and opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, all she saw was a smiling face leaning down to look at her. She screamed in fright and instinctively threw her hands up, but someone grabbed her wrists.

“It was me.”

A deep, familiar voice reached her ears, and she finally calmed down. She opened her eyes and looked up. It had to be Gu Ruandong; who else could it be

She was angry: "What are you doing in my room" She almost jumped out of her skin.

Gu Ruan Dong let go of her hand and stood up straight: “Look carefully, whose room is this”

Lu Yaoyao only then remembered, she had closed her eyes just now. Listening to his tone, this was his home

"So you took advantage of me, bringing me back to your place while I was drunk What's your motive"

Gu Ruandong stood there without speaking, but he looked her up and down, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

“I am not interested in seduction.”

She was still wearing her school uniform from last night, way too innocent. He really didn't have any ulterior motives, he wasn't into that sort of thing.

Lu Yaoyao only then discovered that her clothes from last night were still intact on her body, she muttered.

"That's really unchivalrous of you. I was drunk, and it's so uncomfortable sleeping like this, and I still smell like alcohol. You just let me sleep here all night smelling bad"

She was willful, and whatever she said had its own reason.

Gu Ruandong said coolly, "Then I'll replace it for you now"

He leaned down to look at her again, pretending to help her change.

Lu Yaoyao was a coward. She didn't have the thick skin that Gu Ruandong did. When she saw him getting closer, she hurriedly rolled over and went under the bed on the other side.

When he stepped outside, he suddenly realized that the layout of his house was exactly the same as hers. Even the scenery outside the window was identical. It was clearly in the same neighborhood where she lived.

"You wouldn't have bought a house in our neighborhood, would you"

He nodded, but said nothing.

"Why buy it here You couldn't really be like my brother said, like me, wanting to chase after me, right"

Gu Ruandong: "Thinking too much. This community is safe, isn't it what you said"

Lu Yaoyao recalled saying those words at her last dinner party at home.

"I am a star, I need privacy and security. What about you Is it because you've done bad things and are afraid of being hunted down by your enemies"

Lu Yaoyao still felt weird, especially after leaving her house, she found that the house opposite was hers.

She

This building is two units per floor. When I bought it, Lu Kuo disliked it very much. He thought that having two units per floor was inconvenient and lacked privacy.

But luckily, the neighbors next door should have bought it as an investment and haven't moved in yet, so I've never met them.

I didn't expect to be bought by Gu Ruandong.

She cast a glance back at Gu Ruandong, who was about to leave. He didn't look at her, his eyes fixed straight ahead as he walked towards the elevator.

"Hey," she called to him.

He stopped and turned back to look at her, puzzled.

"There are so many houses in this complex, why did he buy the one right across from mine" It wasn't that she was being overly sensitive; it was just that this coincidence was too much to believe. She might be naive, but she wasn't stupid.

Gu Ruandong smiled: "Why don't you ask the property management to check who bought this house first"

"You mean, you've been the owner next door all along"

Gu Ruandong acquiesced.

Then why didn't you say so before

He let out a careless "Hmm," and said, "Too many houses, I forgot."

The elevator arrived just then, and he disappeared from Lu YaoYao's sight.

Too many houses, forgot

Lu Yaoyao was provoked, as if she didn't have any other houses and there was nothing to boast about.

Gu Ruandong had an appointment with Shu Tinglan today to discuss the urban village demolition, and when he arrived at the company, Shu Tinglan was already there, along with her assistant, waiting for him in the conference room.

He wasn't directly responsible for this task; there was a dedicated real estate team that liaised with the lawyers. Since it was their first meeting today, Shu Tinglan had also invited him to attend.

He sat there, one hand resting on the conference table, twirling a pen in his fingers, listening to the conversation between the real estate team and Shu Tinglan. Some of it surprised him; for such a short time...

In the meantime, Shu Tinglan had already gotten a grasp of the situation in the village and clearly laid out her findings to the real estate team.nglan did indeed apply for the humanities stream. For this, she even had a fight with her parents. It was the first time that the always obedient girl stood so firmly behind her own choice.Mom didn't...
