Chapter 1589

He paused for a moment, “Not really.”

After the breakup, she was too carefree.

Not giving him any chance at all.

She knew there were bodyguards he arranged in the shadows for her protection, she pretended not to see them, but no longer needed to call on them like before. Her work, social interactions, and circle of friends remained unchanged, except she was minus one person: him. She was still the Miss Lu everyone in Rongcheng City adored, exuberant and vibrant like a rose.

Gao Zhe was particularly afraid.

That she would really one day forget him completely.

Even if she couldn’t forget, she would definitely never come to see him, even if she has to marry a man she doesn’t love for the rest of her life, she would not give him the slightest chance.

But she is Lu Zhenzhen, who could not fall in love with her?

Gao Zhe couldn’t take it; lately, he’s been aching all over from longing for her, he can’t imagine the days to follow. He shamelessly endured her humiliations time and again, too humble to throw a tantrum, afraid she’d get angry, afraid she wouldn’t see him.

He never imagined that in this lifetime, he’d lower himself so much for a woman, becoming so anxious and nervous.

Lu Zhenzhen still couldn’t successfully make him leave.

She really couldn’t wait.

She wasn’t drunk, nor drugged, but Gao Zhe’s body was like a poison, she succumbed the moment she came into contact.

They had already slept together so many times, one more wouldn’t matter, and it was better to be with someone familiar than to spend money on someone unknown.

Ji Dong had been waiting outside the hotel, and when it was almost dark, Gao Zhe came out.

He immediately got out of the car, took a few steps forward, and then followed Gao Zhe back to the car, opening the door to the back seat.

“Mr. Gao, do you need another room to rest?”

Gao Zhe rubbed his temples, “No need, to the airport.”

“You came overnight without resting, and haven’t shut your eyes since. Your body can’t take it.”

Last night after leaving the banquet, Gao Zhe went home and drank some more, called Ji Dong over in the middle of the night. By then, there were no more flights, so they took a private plane.

The bodyguards following Lu Zhenzhen were shaken off.

The hotel hosting the Ji Family’s full moon banquet was easy to find, but Gao Zhe didn’t head there initially. He knew Lu Zhenzhen was the most impatient in those settings; Old Master Ji just had a good relationship with Mr. Lu, but she’d be too lazy to deal with it, she would have shown her face and left.

Gao Zhe had almost checked all the nearby hotels, only later going back to check the full moon banquet hotel. There was no registration under Lu Zhenzhen’s name, yet he had a hunch and used some connections to check the surveillance.

At that time, Ji Dong was right beside him; when he saw Miss Lu in the surveillance entering a room with another man, his breath almost stopped.

He thought Mr. Gao would lose control, but who knew he wouldn’t even dare ask, just followed Miss Lu back to her hotel and took care of her for the day. His tiredness was evident; it had been a day and a night without rest, even a body made of iron couldn’t endure it.

Gao Zhe firmly pressed a few times on his temples and said lightly, “No need, if she wakes up and knows I’m still there, she’ll get angry.”

“But—”

“Back to Rongcheng City. Let’s go now.”

Ji Dong opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words. Before leaving, he clearly saw from the rearview mirror that Gao Zhe looked back at the hotel, his expression filled with reluctance and helplessness.

The visit to Elder Ji fell through.

When Lu Zhenzhen woke up, her rationality returned, she immediately grabbed her phone, wanting to call Ji Yanzhi to probe for information. She swept a note off the bedside table.

It was left by Gao Zhe.
