Chapter 33: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (33)
After all that commotion, the Gu, Shen, and You families reunited.
The other wealthy and powerful families in Jiangcheng were all stunned and couldn't help but curse in secret, wondering if they were being deliberately played.
Is this fun?!
No matter how angry they were, Jiangcheng was still the domain of the Gu, Shen, and You families, so they could only swallow their anger.
When the three families stopped fighting and started cooperating amicably, Rong Jing immediately sensed something was amiss.
As the You family, who rose to power through organized crime, continued their search, and Shen Mubai, a highly skilled hacker, made several attempts to infiltrate the Rong family's system, Rong Jing was in a bad mood.
He didn't know the specifics of the cooperation between Gu Yunting and the other two, but he knew it must be related to Le Yan.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Rong Jing immediately began to relocate his base.
"Sweetie, let's go somewhere else. Didn't you want to go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights? How about we go there?"
Rong Jing reached out and ruffled Le Yan's hair, put her hat on, and then led her downstairs.
Le Yan blinked thoughtfully, and as she went downstairs, she asked curiously, "Has someone come looking for us? Who is it?"
She was genuinely curious.
Her recent experiences have been incredibly dramatic and full of twists and turns, things she had only ever read about in novels before.
After a period of panic when it happened to her, Le Yan eventually resigned herself to reality.
They might even wonder what will happen next.
For example, she has mentally rehearsed countless times the scene of someone coming to find her.
After all, her boyfriend was the richest man in Jiangcheng and the male protagonist in that book. If he didn't have some ability, would he be called the male protagonist?
Upon thinking about it, Le Yan's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "Rong Jing, Rong Jing, has Gu Yunting come looking for us?"
Rong Jing, who hadn't intended to answer Le Yan, stopped abruptly upon hearing this, turning back to look at her expressionlessly. "Do you really want to see him?"
"Oh, no, not really."
Le Yan answered exceptionally quickly and frankly.
She didn't really want to see Gu Yunting; she simply wanted to go back to Jiangcheng.
Rong Jing stared at her for a while, then slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It's best if there isn't one."
If he had one, he would hire someone to kill Gu Yunting.
Gritting his teeth in resentment, Rong Jing continued to pull Le Yan downstairs.
The moment they stepped out of the villa, they heard the roar of an airplane.
Looking up, I saw a helicopter flying straight toward the villa.
Rong Jing's face was cold and stern. Le Yan looked up at him and immediately realized that the helicopter was not his.
"Well, it seems like we can't go to Iceland."
Le Yan, who loves to court death, poked Rong Jing and said some blunt truths.
Rong Jing grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
"Who says you can't go?" You can go anywhere you want.
With a complicated look in his eyes, Rong Jing glanced at Le Yan, his gaze darkening slightly. He couldn't help but ask softly, "Will you go with Gu Yunting?"
"what?"
As the helicopter began its descent, the noise grew louder and louder. Le Yan could only see Rong Jing's lips move, but she couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Le Yan raised her hand to cover her ears and asked loudly with a frown, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Rong Jing sighed inwardly. He shook his head slightly, leaned close to Le Yan's ear, and said, "Tell me, will you choose me or Gu Yunting?"
Who is it?
Le Yan blinked and smiled slightly, "I choose my mom."
What do men matter? Her mother is the most important person.
Rong Jing raised an eyebrow, feeling both surprised and yet it made perfect sense.
He should have been sad, but then he remembered that Le Yan's mother was in his hands, and Rong Jing laughed again, "Doesn't that mean you've chosen me?"
Men need to be good at self-brainwashing.
Rong Jing held Le Yan's hand and forcibly intertwined their fingers.
He gazed at the helicopter that had already stopped ahead, a smile on his face, and said leisurely, "Since you've chosen me, you can't leave with Gu Yunting."
Le Yan was speechless at this.
She just couldn't understand how Rong Jing had come to such a conclusion.
Unconsciously, she looked up and stared at his head, feeling an urge to open his head and take a look.
On the other side, the people who got off the helicopter looked at Le Yan, who was nestled next to Rong Jing, their fingers intertwined, their eyes never leaving him, as if they were very much in love.
You Wenwen frowned and said in a low voice, "Are you late?"
Gu Yunting stared intently ahead, his hands clenched tightly, his heart filled with utter disgust for Rong Jing.
Staring at Le Yan, who was looking at Rong Jing with intense focus, Gu Yunting felt a little wronged. He was clearly her rightful boyfriend, but he had never received such focused attention from her.
Gu Yunting closed his eyes briefly and called out loudly, "Le Yan!"
When Le Yan heard the sound, she looked over, her smiling face instantly freezing. After realizing what had happened, she immediately shrank behind Rong Jing.
What the heck? Why are You Wenwen and Shen Mubai here too?
She originally thought only Gu Yunting would come, but it turned out there were two other attempted kidnappers as well.
Le Yan cautiously patted Rong Jing's shoulder and asked, "What's going on? Why are the two of them here too?"
Having already learned from Rong Jing how she was "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," Le Yan had no desire to confront You Wenwen and Shen Mubai.
She was truly terrified of those two people.
Rong Jing answered her in a low voice, "Gu Yunting has cooperated with them."
"Cooperation?" Le Yan looked puzzled. "Just to find me?"
Rongjing nodded and added, "I'll find you and take you all."
Six words sent a chill down Le Yan's spine. She swallowed hard before stammering, "Gourd...gourd me?"
What do you mean?
Is it N that P?
If she leaves with Gu Yunting, will she be able to live as a family of four?
Some indescribable images flashed through her mind, and Le Yan quickly grabbed Rong Jing's clothes, saying in a panic, "Senior, try harder, I don't want to go with them."
She prefers the life of just the two of them to that of a family of four.
Rong Jing paused for a moment, looked down at her genuine fear, raised his hand to hold hers, and patted her hand comfortingly, "If you don't want to leave, no one can force you to leave."
With Rong Jing's words, Le Yan felt much more at ease.
She leaned on Rong Jing's shoulder, only revealing her eyes as she cautiously observed the three people opposite her. From Gu Yunting to You Wenwen, and then past Shen Mubai, she became more convinced of Rong Jing's words.
Gu Yunting frowned as he looked at the two people opposite him who were being so intimate, and said in a cold voice, "Rong Jing, release Le Yan!"
“Young Master Rong, kidnapping and imprisonment are not things you should be playing with.” Shen Mubai followed closely behind, speaking seemingly casually, but his eyes were actually fixed on Le Yan.
He winked at her, and she shrank back in fright.
Shen Mubai tilted his head in confusion, seriously suspecting that Rong Jing had spoken ill of him.
Rong Jing remained completely calm. He looked at the group with an air of composure and smiled, "Kidnapping? Imprisonment? What do you mean by that?"
"I only brought Yan Yan to the island for a few days of sightseeing, I can't bear the crime you've accused me of."
Rong Jing's sophistry made You Wenwen laugh in anger. She sneered, "A trip? A trip where you disappear without a trace, vanish into thin air?"
Rong Jing spread his hands innocently, "There's nothing I can do about it. The signal is bad on this island, so don't blame me."
Too lazy to talk to Rong Jing, You Wenwen looked directly at Le Yan and said, "Le Yan, my darling, come here quickly. We're here to save you. He's a pervert. Don't get close to him!"
Le Yan cautiously peeked out, looking at You Wenwen with a rather complicated expression, wanting to say, "You're all the same, you're all perverts."
They are just perverts who want to play with things that morality and the rule of law forbid.
