here is no mistress of the house.Her grandmother passed away when she was young, and her grandfather never remarried. Her aunt, who is also Lu Kuo's mother, passed away a few years ago due to illness...At the same time, he only felt his arms tighten, pushing her forward, and finally, that ball rolled back and forth quickly on the table for a few laps before falling into the pocket with a crisp sound.

That crisp sound also struck her heart.

The game had her breaking out in a thin layer of sweat on her back and forehead. She remained seated at the pool table, dangling her legs in the air, while he took her cue stick from her hands and laid it carelessly aside. His hands didn't touch her again, but instead braced themselves against the edges of the pool table on either side of her, staring at her without uttering a single word.

Lu Yaoyao had been playing basketball with him silently since he walked in, her whole mind was drifting. Now that he was staring at her like this, her brain felt fuzzy and dizzy, she couldn't take it anymore, her whole body felt weak.

Just as I reached out to grab him, he suddenly stood up straight and took his hand off the pool table, "I'll take you out for dinner."

"Okay," she said sullenly, but remained motionless on the pool table, coquettishly telling Gu Ruandong, "I'm not coming down."

He was the one who carried her up just now, so of course he should be the one to carry her down now.

Gu Ruan stood at the entrance of the rest room, her lips curved into a smile. With his hands firmly wrapped around her waist, he effortlessly lifted her down from the bed. The two walked side by side out of the rest room and into his private elevator.

He was probably talking too much at the morning meeting today, or maybe he just didn't feel like talking. Anyway, he kept silent, but his eyes kept glancing up and down at her. Just as they were about to get off the elevator, he suddenly said, "Although you didn't play well, your grip on the club was pretty standard just now. Did you used to learn"

Lu Yaoyao almost blurted out, "You taught me that"

Fortunately, he drew it back before it reached his lips and mumbled, "Maybe, like driving, you have muscle memory."

"Driving What kind of car"

Lu YaoYao looked up at him. His tone and expression told her he wasn't talking about a serious drive.

As expected, when she didn't answer, he reached out and took her hand. It wasn't a ten fingers intertwined hold, but rather her hand cupped in the palm of his. He held it, sometimes tight, sometimes loose. So what kind of car It was referring to what she did that night by helping him with her hands.

This person is as shameless as ever.

Lu Yaoyao felt that it wasn't unfair to keep him in the dark about her recovered memory.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Gu Ruandong had originally planned to take her out for a celebration in the evening, so the lunchtime reservation was a last-minute arrangement by Xiao Cai. It wasn't bad, either; the atmosphere was quite peaceful.

Outside, at least not when she was alone with Gu Ruandong, Lu Yaoyao's mood finally returned to calm. Her heartbeat wasn't as fast as before, and her expression became composed.

Zheng and Gu Ruandong walked hand-in-hand to their reserved table, when suddenly they heard a familiar voice calling her.

"Hello hello."

She looked over and it was Xu Zhao, whom she hadn't seen in ages. She seemed to have just come in with a friend because they hadn't made a reservation beforehand, so there wasn't a discreet spot for them. She was having the waiter help her adjust something.

Lu Yao looked at her, should she pay attention to her or ignore her After all, at 18 years old, she should find Xu Zhao annoying in every way.

"What's with that expression" Xu Zhao asked her curiously.

Lu YaoYao's amnesia, besides a few close friends, was unknown to others. Gu Ruandong had concealed it for her, even telling the crew on set in County A that she was injured in an earthquake and needed to rest for a few months.

So Xu Zhao didn't know, he just looked at Lu Yaoyao's frowning and conflicted expression, a little strange.

Lu Yaoyao, after the battle between heaven and man, of course had to choose to ignore Xu Zhao in front of Gu Ruandong.

But Gu Ruandong suddenly introduced in her ear, "Xu Zhao, you two were classmates before, she is now developing in the entertainment industry just like you."

It was so kind and thoughtful of him to remind her.

"I know." And you two have been in contact all this time, she thought to herself. There's plenty of old history to unearth.

Xu Zhao looked at her completely baffled and joked, “Before the news reported that you were injured in the earthquake, did this injury affect your brain”

Lu YaoYao scoffed internally at her, wondering if she could be any more accurate.

Seeing they didn't deny it, Xu Zhao was surprised and quickly apologized: "Sorry, are you okay"

Lu Yaoyao didn't answer, afraid that she would say too much and make a mistake, exposing herself. So she looked at Gu Ruandong and planned to leave.

At this time, the waiter looked up from the tablet in his hand and said: “Ms. Xu, I’m sorry, all the seats you requested have been reserved, and there are no empty seats left.”

Xu Zhao was having dinner with friends, which inevitably felt a little awkward.

The waiter, seeing that she and Lu Yaoyao had been chatting just now and seemed quite familiar, chimed in, "Would you like to share a table with Miss Lu and the others"

Lu Yao looked at the waiter, she would really thank her.

"Sure," said Gu Ruan Dong generously.

Under Xu Zhao's astonished gaze, he led them to their seats.

Lu Yaoyao was fuming inside. Oh, so you think I'm really amnesiac You guys are truly naive about your past connection, aren't you The same image designer, the same pool coach, even spending money to launch her career... She hasn't settled scores with him over these things yet.

Her sullen look actually helped her; she didn't need to act, she was genuinely angry right now, perfectly mirroring the way she felt towards Xu Zhao when she was 18.

Their seating area is very discreet and spacious.

Lu Yaoyao wore a sullen expression throughout the entire meal. She felt a little wronged; today was their wedding anniversary. She had waited for him all morning, and they could finally have lunch together, but he agreed to let Xu Zhao join them.

Xu Zhao was very discerning. Just now, she had come because she cared about her health and because Gu Ruandong had broken tradition by allowing them to share a table. She thought it was just an ordinary work meal on a weekday, so she came along. Now, seeing YaoYao's face, she smiled and said, "Actually, we made an appointment with the director and producer to talk business. There were no seats here, so they went to the next-door restaurant and are waiting for us."

Then, he got up with his friend and said, "Yaoyao, let's get in touch another day."

Lu Yaoyao wasn't angry with Xu Zhao, she was angry at Gu Ruandong. So after Xu Zhao left, no matter what Gu Ruandong said to her, she wouldn't respond.

"Angry"

She did not answer.

“You two used to be very close.” he said.

Lu YaoYao could no longer bear it: "Is it because you two are very close"

Gu Ruandong raised an eyebrow at her upon hearing this, "What do you mean"

What do you say Not only do you two work closely together, but your mother also tries to match you up, saying that you're like childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

But could she say it The moment she spoke, she'd blow her cover.

"When we were kids, didn't we all live in the same courtyard"

Flimsy excuses, he didn't even believe them himself.

Gu Ruandong put down the recipe and looked at her seriously: "I grew up in the same courtyard as you when we were kids. Why weren't we close"

"Who dared to be friends with you when you were a kid" She smirked, knowing she was about to fight.wait for Lu Kuo outside their classroom 3.Listening slightly stepped forward, leaning against Cheng Chen's position. When the bus arrived at the next stop, the boy beside her didn't get off. Instead,...
