Chapter 72: 072 Why did hee?


    Su Xinyan nodded gently, “Okay.”


    “Today…you were wronged.”


    A hand with distinct knuckles gently tilted her chin upward, and Gu Heng’s deep gaze was full of tenderness.


    “…I’m not wronged.”


    Biting her lip, Su Xinyan tried hard to suppress her own sense of grievance. Her delicate face looked pitiful, with blurred teardrops circling in her eyes, before they fell the next second.


    “Fool, why pretend to be strong in front of me? Today it was my fault for not protecting you well. In the future, I’ll make sure she never bullies you again.”


    ...


    Su Xinyan shook her head and buried her face in Gu Heng’s embrace, clearly moved.


    “I’m not wronged. With you to protect and love me like this, how could I feel wronged? I’m too happy to feel otherwise…”


    Gu Heng wrapped his arms around her slender waist and lowered his head to nt a kiss of affection and cherish on the corner of her lips.


    Su Xinyan felt somewhat shy, raising her hands to encircle his neck, offering her own sweet lips.


    Gu Heng’s eyes grew darker, his Adam’s apple bobbed twice, and he immediately took charge, kissing her back fiercely.


    Their whisperings mingled; the inside of the car was suddenly filled with spring.


    –


    After lunch, Su Ran apanied the olddy for an afternoon stroll along the streets, and by the end of the day, her legs felt like they weren’t her own anymore.


    Apparently, shopping transcended age; there wasn’t a single woman who didn’t enjoy it.


    Leaving the mall, the two found a ce for dinner. After the meal, stepping out of the restaurant, Su Ran had barely suggested taking the olddy home when she caught a glimpse of a ck luxury car parked not far away from the corner of her eye.


    The car window was half-open, and from afar, one could vaguely see the profile of a man that made all living things turn upside down.


    He was leaning his head slightly, with a high nose bridge, sharp thin lips, finely chiseled contours, and neon lights casting over his face, outlining an unparalleled visage.


    A hint of coldness lingered between his brows, making him seem distant and unapproachable, yet indolently ascetic and arrogantly noble.


    Just his profile alone exuded an air of untouchable nobility and a powerful aura of superiority.


    An undeniable oppressive feeling slowly started to spread.


    Su Ran’s eyes flickered, her lips barely perceptibly curling upward.


    Why had hee?


    Fu Qiyuan got out of the car, his tall and straight figure leaning against it. Su Ran, supporting the olddy, approached him.


    His gaze constantly followed Su Ran, who was walking towards him, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on her slender and tall figure. As the distance closed, the arcs of his thin lips gradually rose.


    Su Ran had walked up close, dressed in casual and neat attire, her figure curvy and exquisite, as if any clothes she wore were tailor-made for her.


    Her clear eyes reflected the myriad of lights like bright, brilliant stars, her features bold and bright, resembling a fierce and radiant sun.


    His gaze settled on her figure.


    “Why are you here? Did youe to pick up grandma?”


    Su Ran looked up at him, trying hard to remainposed.


    “Hmm.”


    The man’s voice was mellow. As he replied, his eyes stayed focused on her without sparing a nce for the grandmother beside him.


    The olddy pursed her lips.


    Is this how a grandson acts?


    Was he really here to pick her up?


    Treating her like this, did it seem like he came for her?


    Heartless kid, forgetting grandma for his wife.


    At least give her a look!


    Su Ran nodded, indeed they had shopped for quite a while, and it was always good to be more attentive to the olddy due to her age.


    “Alright, it’s gettingte, so you can take grandma…”


    “No need.”


    Before Su Ran could finish speaking, the olddy’s abrupt voice interrupted her.


    She turned her head in confusion, looking at the olddy.
