NovelEnglishSince he confessed, he must have fallen in love with her and wanted to marry her.
Luo Ruoran and Liang Yueze had remarried and even had a child. It was a happy thing for Gu Haoyu to let go of his past feelings and take the initiative to pursue Wen Xuehui.
It was probably because people were protective of their loved ones and had a caring attitude. Wen Xuehui was Jiang Yao's best and closest friend. They were like sisters, so Lu Xingzhi felt it would be great if Wen Xuehui could be with Gu Haoyu.
Jiang Yao's mood immediately improved due to Wen Xuehui's phone call. Even Lu Xingzhi's refusal to give her a gift did not affect her mood.

What if he really did have a big surprise up his sleeve?
He would not be so oblivious as to go out and buy something random for her birthday, would he?
Jiang Yao felt she needed to be friendlier to Lu Xingzhi in case he had a big trick up his sleeve.
Mrs. Jiang and Madam Cheng had just returned home before lunch, so Cheng Jinyan was in the kitchen at noon. Jiang Yao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw how homely he looked in his apron.
"Hey, put them all here. Be careful. Be careful. Don't break them. If you break them, we can't fix them." When Mrs. Jiang and Madam Cheng returned, they were followed by a group of young soldiers, each carrying two boxes of cakes in their hands. After hearing Mrs. Jiang's reminder, the boxes in their hands were much lighter when placed on the ground.
"Madame Cheng personally made a twenty-layer cake for you. Because it's too big, we had to take it home and put it together. The people from the cake shop sent it to the entrance. Then, they asked those young soldiers to help bring them in." Mrs. Jiang explained to the people in the room, then thanked the soldiers who helped her. "Thank you, thank you."
"Eat some fruit." Jiang Yao forcefully stuffed the oranges on the table into the soldiers' hands.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lu. Oh, right, happy birthday!"
The more cheerful soldier did not reject Jiang Yao's offer and took the oranges. He wished Jiang Yao a happy birthday. The oranges were not valuable, so he did not feel guilty about taking them.

"Mom, Brother is cooking for lunch. Come and eat!" Cheng Jinnian poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted. Then, he waved the spoon in his hand. "I'll get the bowls and spoon."
Lu Xingzhi was about to get up to help when his phone rang. It was Liang Yueze, so he did not go to the kitchen to help.
Everyone in the house was busy. No one noticed that he went to the yard to answer the phone.
"Is there any news about the passenger ship?" Lu Xingzhi asked after picking up the phone.
"The higher-ups couldn't suppress it even if they wanted to. That organization released the news and announced that they had hijacked a passenger ship with more than 1,000 passengers. They captured them and spread the news all over the world. It won't be long before the news and radio broadcast it."
"Something's not right." Lu Xingzhi pinched the leaves on the side and rubbed them in his palm. "At first, we thought they would capture people and use them as test subjects. If that were the case, they would do it quietly. They won't let everyone know that they've captured so many people."
