Chapter 1373: Even I Couldn't Bear to Lay a Hand on Him

“How can you say such things!

He is your son!”

Gao Zhe was struck and turned his head away.

He paused, pressed his thumb against the corner of his mouth, and then turned to look at Mr.

Lu.

Lu Zhenzhen came out from behind Gao Zhe, pushed him back, and asked Mr.

Lu with a stiff neck, “Why did you hit him?

He’s my man, and I haven’t had the heart to touch him a single time.

Why are you hitting him?”

Gao Zhe suddenly lifted his head.

He stared unblinkingly at Lu Zhenzhen.

From his angle, he could only see her ear and half of her profile.

But it was enough.

Mr.

Lu clutched his chest, took a breath, and said, “You’re still defending him?

Didn’t you hear what he just said?”

“I heard, so what?

He’s defended me for half his life; it’s a natural reaction, isn’t it?”

Mr.

Lu was so angry he couldn’t speak for a moment.

He raised a finger at her, then lowered it again.

After all, she was the daughter he’d spoiled since she was a child.

Even though he was angry, he couldn’t bring himself to really scold her.

“You really leave me at a loss for words!”

“Then don’t say anything,” Lu Zhenzhen looked inside, staring at Jin Rui, who was pinned to the bed by several nurses.

Jin Rui hated her so much that he was gritting his teeth, with eyes full of tears and reddened by anger.

She laughed coldly, “Aren’t you supposed to clean up my mess?

You take care of the one inside there.

Money is not an issue for me.

Although I don’t want Gao Zhe, I’m not going to let her off easy.

Who allowed the homewrecker to act so arrogantly in front of me?

Go ahead and sue if you want, I’m up for it.”

With that, she turned and left.

She ignored Gao Zhe.

Gao Zhe also ignored Mr.

Lu and Jin Rui and followed her.

He could vaguely hear Mr.

Lu’s voice and Jin Rui’s curses.

He caught up with Lu Zhenzhen at the hospital entrance.

She refused to let him touch her, so Gao Zhe didn’t try.

Lu Zhenzhen opened the car door.

Gao Zhe quickly took a few steps forward, pushed the door closed, and wrapped an arm around her waist, making her turn to face him.

“What did you mean by what you said earlier?”

“What words?”

“That I’m your man.”

He sure knew how to pick the critical points, “You said you couldn’t bring yourself to touch me even once.”

“Oh, that sentence,” Lu Zhenzhen casually flicked her hair back, indifferent, “It’s just a habit.

You develop feelings even for a dog you raise, let alone a person.”

Gao Zhe’s gaze sharpened as he looked at her intently, “So, would you take me back?”

“What?”

“When you were little, you had a dog.

I gave it to you.

At first, you disliked it, wouldn’t give it good food.

But when the puppy really got lost, you made the whole family search for it, went out by yourself, even lost a shoe.

After you found it, you changed its kennel, gave it premium dog food, and had the servants wipe its paws it and bathe it daily.

I teased you, saying that if you didn’t like it, you should give it back to me, I’d take care of it.

You said no, it was already your dog.

It got lost once but was found, so you’d treat it well, try to be good to it.”

Gao Zhe said a lot in one breath.

All these years, since taking over the company, he had become increasingly silent.

Sometimes when Lu Zhenzhen spoke to him, he would respond to every sentence but wouldn’t say much.

Unexpectedly, he could recall all these memories clearly.

Lu Zhenzhen, being an extremely soft-hearted person inside, couldn’t block his mouth in time when he began speaking, and she heard it all, even recalled that puppy.

That’s when Gao Zhe asked her, “Since you could bring back a lost puppy, should you take me back too?

I’ve been with you even longer.”
