Black Lotus

Ding dong… The doorbell rang.

“Coming.”

Shen Luoan opened the door and saw Gu Yansheng standing at the door, still carrying Shen Luoan’s favorite tiramisu in his hand.

“Is it cold? Please come in.”

After Gu Yansheng entered the house, he suddenly hugged Shen Luoan and did not let go for a long time. This terrified Shen Luoan.

“Yansheng? What’s wrong, what happened?”

“Nothing, I just want to hug you. Let me hug you for a little longer.”

“Okay, hug me however long you want.” Shen Luoan snuggled in his arms obediently.

It took a long time for Gu Yansheng to let go and after that, he stroked the hair of the person in front of him.

“Did you not go to the company today?”

Gu Yansheng’s expression changed, and he slowly said, “My mother is coming back tomorrow. She told me to take care of Wen Niannan at home while Yuanfeng takes care of the company for me.”

“Zhou Yuanfeng?”

Shen Luoan looked a little disturbed after hearing that Zhou Yuanfeng was back.

“Does Mr. Zhou have full authority to act as an agent? Why does your mother want outsiders to take charge of the Gu Family’s company?”

“Yuanfeng has been a good friend of mine since we were little. We have been really close and my mother trusts him.”

Gu Yansheng was a little puzzled on why Luoan was asking so much about his business today, but he then thought that Luoan must be very worried about him, so he didn’t think too much about it.

“What’s wrong with Niannan? Is he sick again?”

“It’s not a big problem. The doctor said that he was under too much pressure recently.”

Shen Luoan showed some guilt on his face and asked anxiously, “Is it because of me? Because of the video?”

“It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to think that way.”

Seeing Shen Luoan’s guilty look, Gu Yansheng was distressed, and changed the topic immediately, “Last time I saw that you really liked my piano. Do you want me to get someone to send it over? I’ll buy you a better one next time I see one suitable.”

“Sure, thank you Yansheng.”

“Sorry for not being able to give you what you deserved and making you suffer so much.”

Gu Yansheng has always felt guilty for agreeing to get married at the beginning, and if he hadn’t stopped looking at that might, none of these would have happened.

“You don’t need to say sorry. I’m happy as it is.”

Shen Luoan took Gu Yansheng to the dining table. The food was prepared, and Shen Luoan took a glass of wine and handed it to Gu Yansheng.

“Cheers!”

Gu Yansheng took the wine glass and looked at him. “Cheers!”

The two chatted very happily. Soon the wine bottomed out, and the meal lasted for nearly two hours.

Shen Luoan drank a little too much and sat on the sofa feeling dizzy, and Gu Yansheng went to the kitchen to make sober soup for him.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Gu Yansheng was busy cooking, so he turned on the speaker mode.

“Sir, where are you? Mr. Wen is having nightmares and is calling your name. Do you want to come back and take a look?”

Gu Yansheng looked back at Shen Luoan in the living room and accidentally dropped the item in his hand. He quickly went to his phone and turned off the speaker.

“What can I do if he’s in a nightmare? Just let him be.”

“But sir, he is clearly…”

Toot… Toot… Toot…

He hung up the phone.

Uncle Xu reluctantly put down the phone and looked at the person on the bed. Wen Niannan looked like he was in pain and continuously called Gu Yansheng’s name.

After Uncle Xu walked over and held Wen Niannan’s struggling hand, the person on the bed gradually calmed down. Uncle Xu sighed and said, “Why do you have to be like this? His love is sincere. Why can’t you love him back?”

After he hung up the phone, Gu Yansheng stared at the screen for a long time without moving.

“Yansheng, what happened just then?” Shen Luoan’s voice came from the living room.

“The spoon fell. Sorry about that. Take some more rest while I make the soup for you.”

“Mm.”

Shen Luoan’s eyes flashed with a sight of worry. He was not drunk, and he clearly heard every word that Uncle Xu said.

Want to fight with me? Wen Niannan, let’s just wait and see who will win!
