Gu Ruoyun walked out of the airport and saw Mu Ran waving at her from afar. She was stunned for a moment. She didn't think that the person who would come pick up the plane would be Mu Ran. She thought it would be Chu Haolong.

In the depths of his heart, he was at a loss for a moment, but his eyes also dimmed down.

"Snowy, I'm leaving first. There's something I need to talk to you about." It was obvious that Chen Zhenxuan had also seen Mu Ran. He made a call to Gu Ruoyun before leaving.

Gu Manxue let out a sigh. The corners of her mouth hooked up into a faint smile as she walked towards Mu Rong Ran.

"Mu Ran, you came to pick me up?"

Mu Ran smiled as he took the luggage from her hands and walked beside her. He jokingly asked, "What? Was disappointed to see that I came to pick you up? "

"How could that be?" Although Gu Manxue was smiling, the disappointment in her eyes was so deep.

"Let's go, I'll give you a welcome call." He then grabbed her hand and walked in the direction of the car.

For a moment, Gu Manxue felt unnatural. She wanted to shake off his hand, but in the end, she still compromised and let him hold on to her.

However, she didn't notice that behind her, there was a man wearing sunglasses. He stood there and silently watched her back and didn't leave for a long time.

Inside the hotel room, Gu Manxue seemed to be in a somewhat carefree mood. She was usually the only one who spoke, and she simply agreed with him.

"Xiao Xue, I heard from my father that he saved Chen Zhenxuan, then you plan to …"

Mu Ran saw the change in her expression and didn't continue asking. However, his eyes revealed a deep sense of hope. If she broke up with Chen Zhenxuan, then wouldn't that mean he had a chance?

"We are friends now." Gu Manxue took a sip of the juice and looked at the time.

"Xiao Xue, are you in a hurry? I'll take you home? " Mu Ran saw her expression and hastily said.

Gu Ruoyun nodded, but her eyes became even darker. Should she tell Mu Ran more clearly? She didn't want Mu Ran to misunderstand her.

Furthermore, she didn't want Mu Ran to be harmed again. She had better explain herself before it happened so that the damage to Mu Ran would be reduced.

"Mu Ran, wait a moment."

"Hmm? "What's wrong?" Mu Ran held her bag in one hand as he turned around to look at her with a puzzled expression.

"I have something to say to you."

Perhaps it was because the current Gu Manxue was too serious and had already realized that she could speak, but he didn't want to hear it. He had never been so defeated while chasing a woman before, but the more it was like this, the more valiant he became.

Thus, other than the initial hint of admiration, he also felt a sense of conquest towards Gu Manxue.

"Xiao Xue, did you suddenly realize that I'm also very handsome?"

"Stop messing around, I have something serious to tell you." Gu Ruoyun's face was still solemn. She looked at the surroundings, but luckily there weren't many people around her, so there was nothing bad to say.

"Then can I choose not to listen?" Mu Ran chuckled as a look of rejection appeared in his eyes. It was obvious that he had already guessed what she was going to say next.

"Mu Ran, don't do that!" Gu Manxue was a little angry, and her voice turned heavy, "Don't you think we should make things clear?"

"Explain what?" Mu Ran used his free hand to rub his head before silently sighing, "Xiao Xue, you are really too heartless towards me."

"Mu Ran!" If you continue to be so dishonest, I will be even more heartless! "

"All right, all right, let's get in the car and talk." Mu Ran didn't say anything further and pulled her hand, stuffing everything inside before getting into the car to sit by her side.

"Snowy, you still say you're not heartless. You don't even give me the last sliver of hope." Mu Ran seemed to be injured as he looked pitifully at her before continuing.

"Can't you try accepting me?"

"Emotions aren't something that can be accepted just because it's acceptable. I don't like you." Gu Manxue sighed. She seemed a little disappointed, "Sorry, I have to explain it to you clearly."

"Alright, I understand. You don't have anything to do that will let me down. Don't say anymore, I'll send you back." It was as if Mu Ran didn't care and gave Chu Haolong the home address.

The gloom in Gu Qingxue's eyes deepened. The more he acted this way, the more embarrassed he felt. After all, dragging him out wasn't the same thing.

"Little Snow, I know what you're thinking, but I hope you can give me a chance."

"Mu Ran, I …"

"Don't say anymore. I like you. It's my problem. You cannot stop me from liking you." Mu Ran's tone suddenly turned serious as he looked deeply at Gu Qingxue with an extremely serious expression.

Gu Manxue suddenly felt powerless. Even her words of persuasion had disappeared.

When they returned to the Chu Clan, Wang Ma opened the door. Wang Ma's face was filled with happiness, "Xiao Xue, you're back. You're worried to death about me."

"Wang Ma, I'm fine."

"Child, why are you so daring? You're really scaring my old bones to death. I made some soup and drank a bit." As Wang Ma said that, she walked happily into the kitchen.

"Aunt Huan." Gu Manxue looked at Yu Huan, who was walking down the stairs, and quickly called out.

"Xiao Xue, you're back. Why aren't you with Xiao Long?" Yu Huan asked in surprise.

"You're talking about Chu Haolong?" Gu Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat as she blankly stared at Yu Huan.

"Yeah, Xiaolong went to pick you up a long time ago, why didn't you come back together?" Yu Huan looked extremely puzzled. She walked down the hall with large strides and held Gu Qingxue's hand as she sat down on the sofa.

"I didn't see him." It was difficult to conceal the disappointment in Gu Manxue's voice. She forcefully pulled the corners of her mouth, but she seemed somewhat helpless.

"This damned brat!" Come back and I'll talk about him! "I was so happy when I first went out, but I didn't go and pick you up!" After saying that, Yu Huan looked at her with a worried expression, "Let me see if you've lost weight."

"I've only been gone for a few days, how could I lose weight?" Gu Ruoyun smiled, her eyes filled with warmth. When she was young, she had leukemia, so Yu Huan often looked at her. She understood deep down in her heart.

Therefore, she always felt grateful towards Yu Huan, but Chu Yufeng … She could not forgive him for that. She could not forgive him for that.

"Xiaoxue, you took too much risk this time. I won't allow it next time, do you understand?" Yu Huan pulled her hand, her face full of complaints.

"I'll remember that." Gu Ruoyun faintly smiled, a blush rising on her face.

The door opened. Gu Manxue and Yu Huan subconsciously looked towards the door. Chu Haolong stood at the door, indifferently looking at them. She strode upstairs without even saying a word.

Gu Ruoyun's heart had a bit of a bad taste. She hadn't offended Chu Haolong. What did he mean by being so cold?

"Xiaolong, stop!" Yu Huan's voice sank as she called out to Chu Haolong.

"Didn't you go to fetch Xiao Xue? Why did she come back by herself? Where did you go? " Moreover, it was the first time in many years that she had been so angry with Chu Haolong.

"I have something to do." Chu Haolong's voice was cold as he stood at the top of the stairs. His face was covered in a thin layer of ice.

Gu Manxue quickly pulled Yu Huan's arm, "Aunt Huan, it doesn't matter. I'm not a child anymore, so there's no need for anyone to send me off."

Although her words were a relief to Chu Haolong, it still made people feel that she was complaining about it. She was indeed complaining about Chu Haolong.

She also thought that he would come pick her up, but he didn't. Now he said that because of something, she didn't understand how big of a "something" that was in Chu Hao Long's heart was.

"Xiao Xue, you don't need to speak up for him. This brat will anger me to death tomorrow!" Yu Huan fiercely glared at Chu Haolong.

Chu Haolong didn't move. He didn't pay any more attention to them and walked up the stairs.

Gu Qingxue's heart suddenly felt empty and she felt uncomfortable. She didn't understand why Chu Haolong had changed so much after he came back.

Could it be that everything he said in the south was fake? Was his tenderness and concern also fake?

For a moment, Gu Manxue's heart was actually in a state of panic, a real panic.

"Snowy, don't lower yourself to him. Xiaolong is such a person. She's uncomfortable." Yu Huan patted her hands and saw the care in her eyes.

Gu Manxue forced a smile onto her face, but this smile looked extremely bitter in the eyes of others.

"You just got off the plane and went upstairs to rest. I'm sure you're already tired. When it's time for dinner, Wang Ma will go get you." Yu Huan smiled as she spoke.

Gu Manxue nodded and went upstairs. She carefully removed the bandages on her feet. The wound seemed to be a little festering, perhaps because it had been soaked in water for too long.

Helplessly, the corner of his mouth twitched. He endured the pain and carefully applied the medicine.

However, applying the medicine this way was very difficult. If she wasn't careful and used too much strength, it would cause her to tear up.

Footsteps came from the door. She didn't close it, so Chu Haolong saw her appearance from the outside.

"Idiot." He took the medicine from her hand and squatted in front of her to examine the wound.

"It's a bit rotten, you have to be careful not to touch water these days, do you understand?" Chu Hao didn't raise his head and just looked at the wound.

Gu Manxue snorted coldly and angrily snatched the cotton swab from his hand.

"I'll do it myself!"

"You do it yourself? Can you do it yourself? Stupid girl. " Chu Haolong let out a light laugh. The moment he raised his head, he could see the tears in her eyes. His heart felt like it was clashing. He frantically looked away and coughed to ease the awkwardness.

"If you can apply the medicine, what are you crying for?"

"I'm willing. You can avoid it." Gu Manxue was so angry that she wanted to snatch the cotton swab in his hand, but she didn't expect that because of the excessive force she used, her entire body began to surge towards the ground.

She didn't have the strength to use her feet, so she could only close her eyes and whimper.

However, she did not fall to the ground. Instead, she fell into the soft and warm embrace of a person. She carefully opened her eyes, and her breath was filled with the smell of his body.

A light cologne was accompanied by the smell of smoke. The smell was not very strong, but it made her feel very comfortable after smelling it. She did not dislike this smell at all.

"You still say that you can do it yourself? Stupid girl, you are really stupid."

Chu Haolong's sneering voice came into her ears. Her face turned red all the way down to her neck.
