Villainous son, kneel down, Mom's begging you for a favor.

Chapter 38: Miserable Suffering

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Playing the Victim

Gu Tingyan's face was gloomy, his left hand clenched into a fist and he waved it slightly, as if he wanted to smash something to release his anger.

He gripped his phone tightly with his right hand, his slightly reddened eyes fixed on Xu Rou's location message.

next second.

He turned off the screen, strode straight through the door, and headed straight for the second floor.

In a corner on the first floor, Li Yan was hiding and drinking a beverage.

Too many people came to chat her up, so she simply hid and enjoyed some peace and quiet, waiting for her darling to come and pick her up.

Li Yan finished her drink and lifted her skirt to pour herself another one. When she looked up, she saw Gu Tingyan hurrying upstairs.

Her eyes lit up, she put down the cup, gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands, and walked towards Gu Tingyan.

Just as she was about to call out to him, she bumped her left big toe, which had been slightly swollen and painful, causing her fair face to contort in pain.

"Whoops..."

"Miss, are you okay?"

Duan Yujing, who happened to be passing by, noticed Li Yan's pain. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to come over to help, but she avoided him.

"I'm fine, thank you." Li Yan looked at his face, which was exactly the same as her husband's, and forced a smile as she declined, "I'm in a hurry, so I'll be going now."

She looked up and saw that Gu Tingyan had already gone up the stairs. Without hesitation, she endured the pain in her feet and followed him.

"Miss, slow down!"

Duan Yujing stared coldly at Li Yan's departing figure and called out.

Inside the restaurant on the second floor.

Xu Rou and Gu Tingyu were having a meal, chatting and laughing.

"Ah Yu, try this, it melts in your mouth, it's delicious." Xu Rou picked up a piece of mango dessert and said, "Have you been filming a new drama recently?"

Gu Tingyu's eyes were filled with happiness as he mumbled through a dessert, "Yes, once I join the next production, I won't have as much time to see Rou Rou..."

Xu Rou lowered her eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to get rid of Gu Tingyu for a while.

Then, Xu Rou said gently and considerately, "If you don't come to find me, I can secretly go to find you."

The sight of the two eating harmoniously irritated Gu Tingyan.

His unfathomable black eyes burned with fierce flames, as if he wanted to incinerate the two people in front of him.

His long legs, encased in suit trousers, strode towards Xu Rou, intending to pull her away directly.

Li Yan followed closely behind Gu Tingyan, then, with a determined heart, kicked off her high heels, rushed in front of him, and spread her arms to block Gu Tingyan.

She was exhausted and in pain, her eyes welled up with tears, and her fair face turned slightly red.

Panting heavily, Li Yan looked at the furious Gu Tingyan and said intermittently, "Ah, Ayan, you, calm down, don't be impulsive."

"Li Yan, don't worry about it..."

Gu Tingyan's anger, which had been burning for a while, stopped abruptly, and his gaze was drawn to Li Yan's bare feet.

She revealed half of her feet, with beautifully curved insteps and fair skin, except that her two big toes looked a little red and swollen.

Li Yan winced in pain, and Gu Tingyan's anger vanished instantly. He stepped forward to help her up, saying with concern, "Where are your shoes?"

“I’m right behind you,” Li Yan said weakly.

She leaned against Gu Tingyan, panting, her expression one of utter agony.

Gu Tingyan turned around and looked.

Two silver high heels lay not far away.

When Gu Tingyu saw Li Yan appear before him again, and saw her playing the victim in front of Gu Tingyan, he felt even more disgusted.

His smile vanished completely, replaced by a cold gaze as he swept his gaze over Li Yan. His thin lips parted to demand, "Li Yan, why are you following me again? Are you some kind of persistent ghost?"

Gu Tingyan was preoccupied with worrying about Li Yan when he heard Gu Tingyu's words.

He glared at him.
