Chapter 655 - Put on Shows Together

The situation in Yuncheng was changing rapidly.

Gu Changle had been staying in the hospital and had told Shao Tianze that she wanted to see Miaomiao very much.

However, Shao Tianze had long lost faith in Gu Changle.

Shao Tianze loved his daughter very much. Besides, Shao Xue had been fanning the flames. As a result, Gu Changle had never been able to see Miaomiao after she returned from Harbor City.

After half a month passed, her condition neither improved nor deteriorated.

But some sinister ideas began to take root in her mind.

In the later October, the weather was getting colder and colder in Yuncheng.

As Gu Changle was in the hospital, she didn’t need any new clothes. But in order to show his concern, Shao Tianze took her out to go shopping when the weather was fine.

Or he took her out to eat.

The Yuncheng media kept a close eye on Shao Tianze and his sister-in-law. Wittingly or unwittingly, they would release the rumor that Shao Tianze and Gu Changle hooked up with each other.

When Gu Changle read the relevant news on the internet, she was even a bit secretly pleased.

She had been with Shao Tianze for over ten years.

She got rid of her rivals one by one and had overcome so many difficulties.

And they even brought down Gu Changge.

After all the hardships, shouldn’t Gu Changle enjoy the fruit now?

When Gu Changle was leaving, she insinuated, “Tianze, how can we scotch those rumors?”

Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze slightly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Changle when hearing her question.

Gu Changle colored slightly.

More than anything else, Gu Changle wanted Shao Tianze to make their relationship public. She didn’t want to hide in the dark anymore.

But obviously, Shao Tianze didn’t plan to do that.

Shao Tianze smiled, replying, “You don’t need to take such things to heart. Just ignore them.”

Disappointment hit Gu Changle like a ton of bricks, making her suffocated and wretched.

“But...”

Gu Changle still wanted to say something.

However, Shao Tianze seemed to know what Gu Changle was going to say. Thus he cut her off, “Gu Changge and I had been husband and wife for ten years. During the three years after Gu Changge’s death, we can’t make our relationship public. Changle...”

Gu Changle wrinkled her brows.

Shao Tianze looked at her affectionately, asking, “Can you understand me?”

Gu Changle was about to blow her top.

Understood him? Didn’t she need someone to understand her?

In order to be with Shao Tianze, she went through all kinds of hardships. But in the end, she still couldn’t be Shao Tianze’s legal wife or make their relationship public.

What was all this?

What on earth was Gu Changle’s position in Shao Tianze’s heart?

Gu Changle was deeply unhappy.

And she couldn’t help clenching her fists.

Seeing that, Shao Tianze reached out and held Gu Changle’s fingers, murmuring, “Changle.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If it had been in normal times, Shao Tianze’s tenderness might have pacified Gu Changle.

But now, things were different. Thinking that she still had to keep their relationship on the down-low like love rats after all the hardships she endured and the years she waited, Gu Changle felt aggrieved and resentful.

She withdrew her fingers from Shao Tianze’s hand.

Feeling that Gu Changle withdrew her fingers, Shao Tianze knew she was enraged.

Thus he coaxed her, “There, there. Rarely have you come out to get some fresh air. If you waste your time being angry with me, it’ll be a loss, right?”

Gu Changle frowned, nibbling her lower lip.

Of course, Gu Changle was angry, and it would definitely be a loss.

But why couldn’t he make their relationship public?

Gu Changle clenched her teeth, looked up at Shao Tianze, and asked, “When can you announce it?”

“Announce what?”

Gu Changle replied, gritting her teeth, “When can you let the public know that we are now in a relationship?”

“Must we make it public?” Shao Tianze looked at Gu Changle, asking.

Gu Changle asked in reply, “Why not?”

“As long as we are happy, that’ll be enough.” Shao Tianze replied.

Gu Changle knitted her brows, saying, “I want a status. I want to be with you openly. Can you understand me?”

The more Gu Changle went on, the more wretched she felt.

“I’ve been with you for so many years, but it has never been known by the public, which really upsets me. Can you understand? Gu Changge and you could show up in public together, and she could be your legal wife, so why can’t I?”

Gu Changle questioned Shao Tianze.

Hearing that, Shao Tianze gently pressed his lips, saying, “Changle, now things are different.”

“How’s that different? Didn’t you chase after the b*tch Gu Changge because Gu Cheng acknowledged Gu Changge as his daughter? Now Gu Changge has gone, and you’ve got what you wanted. There’s no need to care about her. Why can’t you let me be your legal wife and make our relationship public in Yuncheng?”

“Does a status mean a lot to you?”

“Yes, a lot!” Gu Changle replied, “You should know my condition. Now there’s still no suitable heart for me, and I may die soon. I want to get your acknowledgment and let all the people in Yuncheng know that I’m not only Gu Changge’s younger sister but also your lover before I die.”

Gu Changle’s voice trembled with emotion.

However, Shao Tianze was a bit vexed on hearing that.

But he still coaxed her patiently, “Changle, now it’s not the right time.”

“How long do I have to wait?”

“Until the Shao enterprise stabilizes and three years after Gu Changge’s death.”

“You don’t even like her, so why bother waiting for three years?”

“Changle.”

Shao Tianze still wanted to explain.

However, Gu Changle lurched to her feet and stormed off as if she had already been fed up with Shao Tianze’s changeless prevarication.

Gu Changle walked very fast.

Fearing that Gu Changle might do something out of impulse, Shao Tianze immediately got up from his chair and rushed out to chase her.

As Gu Changle left in a fit of pique, she blundered into the corner of a table in the restaurant.

Gu Changle hurt her knee, which made her gasp.

Then she bent down, rubbing her knee.

Seeing that Gu Changle hurt her leg, Shao Tianze hurried over and helped her to her feet, asking worriedly, “Does it hurt? You all right?”

Gu Changle frowned because of the pain. Seeing that Shao Tianze was nervous and worried, she cooled down a bit.

But Gu Changle still wanted to free herself from him.

Feeling that, Shao Tianze grabbed Gu Changle by her wrist, coaxing her softly, “Enough. Pack it up.”

Gu Changle didn’t want to listen to him at all.

But Shao Tianze said, “If you go on like this, I’ll let the bodyguards take you back to the hospital.”

Gu Changle knitted her brows. She did not want to return to the hospital.

She remained silent, frowning. Seeing that, Shao Tianze held Gu Changle’s fingers, saying, “Come on. Just tell me where you want to go. I’ll keep you company.”

...

After leaving the conference room, Song Yunxuan saw the magazine Xiao Hong put on her desk.

Lu Feng’s photo was on its cover, and he appeared in high spirits. Song Yunxuan took a second look.

After Song Yunxuan took her seat, Xiao Hong said, “Manager Song, everything is the same in the Shao enterprise. There’s nothing unusual.”

Song Yunxuan let the journalists of the Fanxing Magazine keep a close eye on Shao Tianze and Gu Changle.

Though Xiao Hong had been transferred to the Song enterprise, she still did a good job in Fanxing Magazine.

Song Yunxuan nodded.

Seeing that Song Yunxuan nodded, Xiao Hong continued, “Mr. Lu asked you out to dinner. It’s at six o’clock tonight and in the Ocean Piano Restaurant. He also invited you to a concert at the Weiss Grand Theater.”

Hearing Xiao Hong’s words, Song Yunxuan raised her hand and rubbed her brows, feeling vexed, “Lu Feng is really an idler.”

After Lu Feng announced their engagement to the media, he seemed to intentionally put on shows.

He constantly asked Song Yunxuan out in the recent half month.

Song Yunxuan felt somewhat tired.

But mindful of Lu Feng’s help for the Song enterprise, Song Yunxuan couldn’t directly turn him down even if she wanted to.

So she could just go through the motions.

Seeing that Song Yunxuan was rubbing her brows, Xiao Hong asked with concern, “If you feel uncomfortable, I can decline Mr. Lu’s invitation for you. So...”

Song Yunxuan looked up at Xiao Hong, replying, “I’m afraid we can’t decline it easily. I’ll be there tonight.”

“By the way, you should have a medical examination tomorrow, Manager Song.”

Reminded by Xiao Hong, Song Yunxuan got a bit relaxed and rested her eyes on the belly.

Currently, the situation was a bit chaotic, but Song Yunxuan was not at a loss for what to do.

The Shao enterprise was in decline, and Song Yunxuan was capable and powerful enough to ruin the Shao enterprise.

But to do that, she needed Lu Feng’s and the Chu Family’s help.

It was a good thing that Song Yunxuan was pregnant with Chu Mochen’s child.

Combined with Lu Feng’s help, she could be more powerful.

However, it also made her feel anxious.

The Chu Family didn’t understand why she would get engaged with Lu Feng while being pregnant with the Chu Family’s flesh and blood.

And it seemed impossible for Song Yunxuan to make the Chu Family understand that.

Song Yunxuan felt she should give up explaining it to the Chu Family.

She would cooperate with Lu Feng when he asked her out for a public display of affection.

Anyway, Lu Feng would not fall in love with her.

Because there was a woman that Lu Feng could never forget.

Because of that woman, Lu Feng could hardly love any other one.

And this was one of the most important reasons why Song Yunxuan was willing to combine with Lu Feng.
