Gu Danyu parted her red lips slightly and spoke of today's overall situation.
There was a pause, then Lu Yancheng's apologetic voice came through, "Miss Gu, I am tied up at the moment and can't return right away."
The next second.
"You are my fiancée, the future mistress of the Lu Family, feel free to do as you wish." His voice was still deep and raspy, serious with a hint of a different kind of emotion.
Why does this sentence feel ambiguous, Gu Danyu's hand holding the phone unconsciously clenched, "Okay."
[Host, this man is flirting with you.]
The woman lowered her eyes and patted the dog's head: Mr. Lu has helped me, don't overthink it.
"Woof woof woof—"
[My lord bets on years of reading novels experience, he is flirting with you.]
Dumpling barked joyfully, and the man on the phone naturally heard it too, "Miss Gu, have you gotten a dog?" After a pause, he continued, "What a coincidence, I also like dogs...."
Even after hanging up, Gu Danyu still felt somewhat baffled, they were discussing Lu Jun's matter, but suddenly switched to their preferences for dogs.
On the other side of the ocean.
A slanting ray of sunset light shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto the thick papery book on the desk.
The book's cover read "Love Canon," and underneath it: The first tactic is to cater to their interests, followed by a long list of instructions.....
Not far off, the handsome man lying on the bed stared at the glowing phone screen for a long time, "Heh...." His voice was low and deep, like that of a high-quality viola.
He paused, then thinking of something, Lu Yancheng's eyes darkened as the smile on his lips receded.
It seemed he needed to take care of those annoying flies sooner rather than later.

At the Lu Family home.
Early in the morning, Gu Danyu awoke to her biological clock, and as soon as she got downstairs, she saw Uncle Chen with a troubled face, looking as if the sky had collapsed. She furrowed her brows and inquired, "What's wrong?"
"Ma'am, just look at what's turned the internet upside down."
As a modern butler who kept up with the times, Uncle Chen's first task every morning was to check in for the entertainment industry-employed second young master. Little did he expect to come across the sight of the younger master...
Gu Danyu took the phone and saw a bold headline at the top of the trending searches #A student brutally beats teacher at school#
Her eyelid twitched, and upon opening, she saw it was a video of Lu Jun clenching his fist to strike Wang Fang. The angle of the video clearly captured the young man's face.
The comment section was full of condemnation.
[So vicious at such a young age, he will be a scourge on society.]
[This kind of scum, just execute him directly.]
Gu Danyu's gaze hardened as she watched the video again. It was clearly only a clip, cut from the beginning and end, with some shaking, probably taken by a classmate.
She handed the phone back to Uncle Chen, "Where is Lu Jun?"
"The young master is still asleep." As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "bang" sounded from upstairs.
The young man's hair was a mess, his eyes carried heavy dark circles, and the gloom on his face was even more pronounced than the day before.
As he walked past her to the door, the woman's expression became serious, "Where are you going?"
Lu Jun grabbed the bag on the sofa and tossed back, "None of your business," before striding away.
"Young master...." Uncle Chen hastily called out but saw the young man ignore him completely and walk straight out.
Gu Danyu waved her hand, "Leave him be for now."
The next second, she picked up Dumpling and followed suit, leaving the house...
