oday""Yeah, what's up""Oh, it's fine."Typical nonsense, he just doesn't want her to go with Lin Zhicheng.He didn't mention Lu Yaoyao, and she had almost forgotten about her. But the moment he did, she...Lu YaoYao's face instantly fell, she truly couldn't escape his grasp.

Before getting in the car, Gu Ruandong touched her now very round belly again and said to the baby inside: “Listen to your mother, be good.”

After finishing, she looked up at Yaoyao who was pouting at him: “You’re biased, you’re always so kind to the baby but demand things from me.”

Gu Ruandong simply stepped out of the car again, hugged her and kissed her: "You wait for me to come back obediently too."

"Alright, let's go."

Only then did Gu Ruantong get in the car and leave.

While on the car, she felt uneasy and gave Lu Kuo a call, telling him that she was going out of town for a few days and he had to check on Yao Yao at home every day.

Lu Kuo has been busy both as a stay-at-home dad and running his company. Hearing Gu Ruandong's words, he waved it off nonchalantly: "I know, I go to see her every day. But you don't have to worry so much. There are maids taking care of her at home. Remember, our Ruanruan worked until the very last day before giving birth."

"That's a trouble." Gu Ruandong had no mood to listen to him continue talking nonsense. After saying "trouble," he hung up the phone.

Her expression turned cold and serious instantly, switching to battle mode. She started contacting people in the southwest through her phone. These connections she had accumulated over time were all living their lives peacefully within their respective fields, but when trouble arose, they were always ready to step up at a single call.

Gu Ruandong's close friends were only a handful. With Dajin gone, Dafang couldn't afford to have any more accidents. This time, he flew over on the same private jet that had sent him before. It landed quickly and he reunited with everyone.

Xu Ze Fang and his companions arrived first at the small border town, eager to meet their friend and have him find Da An.

My friend was very hospitable and said that since he rarely came, they had to treat him to a welcome dinner. He set up a banquet.

Xu Ze Fang, with his quick temper, felt irritated when someone asked him for a favor. He thought the other person was being difficult and wondered what wind had brought them at this time. "Do I need your help" he thought to himself. "But I can't lose face," so he endured it and, with a forced smile, drank two cups of wine. As soon as he put down his cup, he felt dizzy. His eyes were blurry, and for a moment, he seemed to see Da An's grim face flash before him. But he was already unable to move.

Consciousness is awake, but the person can't move. "Wait until I kill you."

That friend looked at him with shame and fear: "I'm sorry, brother. I really had no choice. My family is in his hands."

Friends know that offending either the Great Ship or Dan'an means a dead end, but right now, keeping their own families safe is paramount. Dan'an has lower limits than the Great Ship.

--

On the first night of Gu Ruandong's business trip, Lu Yaoyao slept soundly and woke up refreshed the next morning.

After breakfast, she asked Cui Ping to accompany her for a walk outside. Cui Ping happily said, "You're so self-disciplined today"

Normally, when Mr. Gu is at home, he'll be very reluctant to leave for a long time.

Yao Yao: "Of course."

Outside for a walk, not only completed the task ahead of schedule but also walked an extra 1000 steps. Then took a screenshot and sent it to Gu Ruandong: "Husband, I overcompleted the task today, come back with a reward oh."

After sending the message, he casually put his phone aside and sprawled out on the sofa designated for pregnant women, waiting for a reply. He waited for a while but received none.

Thinking that she was probably busy in a meeting, she didn't pay much attention. After resting for a while, she went upstairs with Cuiping to tidy up the baby's room.

She had bought all sorts of clothes and toys when she went shopping with Guannuan before. Cuiping disinfected and washed every single item, and the toys were also disinfected and put away. The entire second floor, apart from her and Gu Ruandong's bedroom and study, was furnished as a nursery, a children's play area, a preschool room, and a childcare room.

Everything is ready, just waiting for production.

And Cui Ping was busy until lunchtime, but Gu Ruandong hadn't replied to her yet. This made her heart raise slightly and worry a bit. Because Gu Ruandong always responded to her messages instantly, even during meetings, he would habitually keep his personal phone beside him. This kind of situation where he didn't reply for half a day was very rare.

She then made a phone call, but it went straight to voicemail.

My worry just now instantly turned into a hint of anxiety. I called his work phone number, and it was answered quickly, but it was Xiao Cai who answered.

"Miss Lu"

She hurriedly asked where Gu Ruandong was

Xiao Cai replied, "Mr. Gu is out on a business trip."

“I see, you mean that you didn’t go on the business trip with him You weren’t around him”

"Yes," Xiao Cai answered honestly. Gu Shao doesn't always take him on his business trips.

Have you contacted him today

"No."

The phone call was like it never happened. Lu Yaoyao became even more panicked and directly told Xiao Cai, "Come over here."

Face-to-face communication is more effective.

Xiaocai hung up the phone and drove straight to Yihao Huating Villa. He hadn't seen the young lady for a while, and now seeing her with a big belly, he was a little worried. He sat opposite her carefully.

He also contacted Gu Shao during this period, suggesting that he turn off his phone.

Lu Yaoyao also made a phone call at the same time, but it was also turned off.

As Xiao Cai was Gu Shao's personal secretary, it was very unusual for her private phone to be switched off. So while rushing over, she had already checked Gu Shao's travel information this time, so that she could report to the young lady at any time.

After settling down, he went straight to the point: "Mr. Gu took a private jet this time, heading southwest. I've contacted the manager of the southwest branch, and there are no sudden situations at the company. Mr. Gu didn't go to the branch."

As for Zhao Tingxing and Da'an, Xiao Cai didn't know much because he primarily handled the company's business. He naturally wouldn't know about other matters unless Gu Shao spoke about them.

As soon as Xiao Cai mentioned that Gu Ruandong had gone to the southwest by private jet, Yaoyao immediately understood what had happened. Although she was at home resting and preparing for childbirth, she wasn't oblivious to what was going on outside. She knew about Gu Ruandong, Zhao Tingxing, and Da An's affairs.

Her whole heart was pounding, a mix of worry and anger. Anger that he had lied to her about going on a business trip. Her emotions surged, causing her stomach to suddenly tighten. The baby inside kicked her twice. She took a deep breath and hurriedly patted her now slightly hard belly, trying to soothe it.

When something happens, don't panic. Calm yourself down and call Zhao Tingxing on your phone. This matter must also be related to him.

I didn't have much hope at first, but unexpectedly, Zhao Tingxing answered the phone very quickly. His tone seemed surprised, with a hint of playfulness: "Miss Lu It's broad daylight, I shouldn't be dreaming, right"

Yao Yao didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and directly asked: "Did Gu Ruandong come to you"

She asked, and only then did Zhao Tingxing speak seriously: "He came to the southwest"

"Zhao Tingxing, don't pretend. Did Gu Ruanting go to find you" Yaoyao was getting a little anxious. If she were with Zhao Tingxing, she knew there wouldn't be any major problems, but Zhao Tingxing's tone had shattered her last shred of hope.e. Let's hurry up and walk fast. After we challenge this glass walkway, your fear of heights might be gone. 。She was also gleefully heartless, finally having a chance to laugh at him. She couldn't ha...
