Chapter 95 Intertwined Emotions
Gu Yanchuan finished a long day of work and walked out of the company, only to find it was already late. Just as he was about to get into his car, his phone suddenly rang; it was a call from his mother.
"Yanchuan, aren't you free tomorrow? Accompany Yurou to an art exhibition. She just got back and isn't familiar with the event schedule here yet." Gu's mother's tone left no room for refusal.
Gu Yanchuan rubbed his temples helplessly: "Mom, I..."
"Stop using 'me'. Yu Rou came back to China early specifically because of our family's situation. As her brother, don't let her down."
"Alright then," Gu Yanchuan finally agreed.
The next afternoon, he arrived at the art museum on time. Luo Yurou, dressed in a simple shirt and casual pants, stood at the entrance and smiled slightly at him: "Gu Yanchuan, you're not late."
Gu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Since it was arranged by my mother, how could I dare to neglect it?"
The two walked into the art museum side by side.
The atmosphere inside the museum was tranquil and elegant, surrounded by soft lighting that made each artwork even more captivating. Luo Yurou stood in front of an abstract painting, her gaze focused and earnest.
"Can you understand it?" Gu Yanchuan walked over and asked in a low voice.
“I don’t understand it, but I can feel the emotions.” Luo Yurou smiled and turned around. “I like the sense of freedom that art brings. Although interpretations may vary, it can always touch people’s hearts.”
Gu Yanchuan took a sip of the champagne provided by the exhibition hall and casually asked, "You used to like these too?"
Luo Yurou nodded: "Yes, this kind of freedom and spontaneity is quite different from the traditional constraints I received since childhood, which is particularly attractive to me."
Gu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "You and my mother have always had a good relationship, why haven't you been in contact for so many years?"
Luo Yurou paused for a moment, then said softly, "I've thought about contacting them before, but it's always inconvenient for me to be alone abroad."
Gu Yanchuan frowned slightly, about to speak, but Luo Yurou smiled teasingly: "But it's all good now. After returning to China, I reconnected with your mother, and it feels like I'm back in my childhood. And you, you were so annoying when you were little, but you seem a little better now."
Gu Yanchuan chuckled and nodded, saying, "It seems I really left a deep impression on you when we were kids."
"Yes, I remember once you insisted on proving you were smarter than me and even stole all my homework answers. As a result, the teacher criticized you in front of the whole class." Luo Yurou couldn't help but laugh as she said this.
Gu Yanchuan shook his head and chuckled: "You remember so clearly?"
“Of course, that was one of the few times I was able to ‘win’ against you.” Luo Yurou winked mischievously.
The two chatted easily along the way. Gu Yanchuan found that Luo Yurou's smile had a reassuring power, and her occasional playfulness and understanding made him unconsciously lower his guard.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuyue was negotiating a new project at Li Zhanchuan's company. This collaboration was initiated by Lin Chuyue, with the aim of leveraging resources to give the company a competitive edge in the market.
After the meeting, Li Zhanchuan invited her to have coffee in the rooftop garden.
"Why did you suddenly decide to seek cooperation with me?" Li Zhanchuan handed her a warm cup of coffee and asked casually.
Lin Chuyue leaned against the garden railing, gazing at the distant city night view, and said calmly, "To win, of course you need powerful allies."
Li Zhanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "It seems your definition of 'powerful' is quite accurate."
Lin Chuyue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you praising yourself?"
"Just stating the facts." Li Zhanchuan looked at her calmly. "However, I'm curious, when did you start to be so 'sharp and outspoken'?"
Lin Chuyue's smile faded slightly. She took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "If you keep being bullied, you will eventually learn to fight back."
Li Zhanchuan didn't press further, but said in a low voice, "I admire you for this; you have courage and determination."
Lin Chuyue looked up and met his gaze. Her heart suddenly started racing, but she quickly looked away and asked casually, "Cooperation is just cooperation, don't overthink it."
Li Zhanchuan's thin lips curled slightly: "I didn't overthink it, you're the one overthinking it."
Lin Chuyue was speechless, so she simply turned and left, only to find that her ears were burning.
Luo Yurou's gentleness, kindness, and sensitivity irresistibly attracted Gu Yanchuan, while Li Zhanchuan's deep affection and persistence also quietly planted ripples in Lin Chuyue's heart.
The fates of the four people are gradually intertwining.
