As he opened the door, Huo Nanchen saw that his hair and shirt were a little messy. He quickly tidied up and held the door with one hand. He then opened it slightly and narrowed his eyes at the person standing at the door.
"Mom, why are you knocking on the door so hard?"
"..."
Mrs. Huo saw that her son had buttoned two buttons on his shirt wrongly and immediately suspected that something fishy going on. She remembered that a few days ago, she had interrupted the couple as they were about to have a spark.
Suddenly, she felt a little awkward.
She had always wanted to spark the flames between the two, but now it seemed that things were going well and she had actually interfered.
"You two aren't fighting?"
"Mother, do you really want us to fight?"
"Of course not. I just came to take a look. I thought you two were fighting again." Mrs. Huo coughed softly and glanced around the room. She could vaguely see a person lying on the bed, and her clothes seemed to have been torn off.
'Is that Gu Ruochu?'
"Are you done?"
"I'm done, I'm leaving now. Son, I have high hopes for you." Mrs. Huo leaned forward as she spoke. She then returned to her usual elegant posture and left with Nanny Zhang.
"..."
Huo Nanchen entered the room again and saw Gu Ruochu sprawled under the blanket. She did not even raise her head. She was curled up quietly like a cat, and her long hair was covering her face.
"Are you an ostrich now?"
"Get out."
"What? Are you throwing a tantrum?" Huo Nanchen pressed his entire body against hers and looked at her. He reached out and tucked her long hair behind her ear. His deep voice rang in her ear. "I didn't really eat you up. Can't you see that I've held back?"
His other hand pressed down on her buttocks in a wicked manner.
His lips parted into a gentle arc. Even if Gu Ruochu could not see him, she could sense his evil aura.
She was afraid of the wild beast-like aura emanating from his body. It was as if he was targeting her as his prey.
"Huo Nanchen! Why are you pressing down on me so heavily?" Gu Ruochu let out a muffled groan. Her back felt lighter as he continued to press down on her. "Why are you getting up? Are you ready to go out? "
"I need to change my clothes. I'm going to head out to the office in the afternoon."
Perhaps she had been too depressed recently and had put a lot of her energy into thinking about Huo Nanchen. That was why she was in a bad mood. She was struggling to figure out whether she loved him or not.
To distract herself, she was officially leaving the mountain.
"All right. I'll send you there."
"Okay." Gu Ruochu closed her eyes and did not say another word.
"..."
Gu Ruochu's directing lesson was almost over when she arrived. She familiarized herself with the movie process before she left the school and drove towards the Royal Road.
When she saw everything that she was familiar with once again, it felt as if a lifetime had passed.
The Royal Road was now on the right track. The company had seen some growth despite the many restrictions. There were no celebrities or entertainment resources to support new entertainment companies.
However, all of this was not a big problem for Gu Ruochu. Any company would have to go through a certain amount of procedures and trials to get started.
She was mentally prepared to take charge of the Royal Road this time.
"Did you have a fight with your man?" Xu Yichen immediately guessed what was bothering Gu Ruochu after taking one look at her. He then played with his wine glass.
"Mm, I guess so." Gu Ruochu looked at him and asked him a question that had always bothered her. "Are men able to pretend to love a woman that they don't love?"
"Not exactly." Xu Yichen put down his wine glass. "Some of them are just cold-faced. You've been in the upper class for so many years. I am sure you have seen them before. Some of the bigwigs hardly see their wives. They pay alimony on time every month, but they often outsource their mistresses. Some people dote on their wives, but don't fall in love with them."
