She couldn't help but be moved.
He lifted his foot and followed.
The man walked slowly and stopped in front of the door.
He lightly knocked twice on the door, and then pushed the door open before entering.
Gu Lanqing stood outside the door.
The man's voice sounded out, "Boss, it's just as you expected. Mo Wanying really wanted to bribe the waiter and put medicine in Miss Gu's wine. I've already sent that cup of wine to room 2156. "
"Tsk tsk, I've known you for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen you scheme so hard to protect a woman. In order to see this woman more, we even arranged for me and the entire crew to celebrate our birthdays in Huadu. " The one who spoke was Yang Jue.
Gu Lan Qing trembled.
Deliberately protecting...
She looked in through the narrow crack in the door.
The lights in the room were bright. In front of the huge French windows, the tall and slender man had his back facing her …
This back figure …
A name rang out in Gu Lan Qing's heart.
Unable to keep her cool any longer, she pushed open the door and headed straight for the man.
"Miss Gu, why are you here?" When Yang Jue heard the sound of footsteps and saw Gu Lanqing enter, his pupils rapidly constricted.
Gu Lan Qing didn't pay any attention to Yang Jue. She walked around the waiter and grabbed onto the man's arm. With a trembling voice, she said, "Huo Yan, I knew it would be you!"
The man was forced to turn around, and what entered her eyes was a silver-white mask.
It even covered his lower jaw.
"Miss Gu, you got the wrong person. This is the owner of the Huadu Hotel, Mr. Lenny. " Yang Jue's eyes flashed as he helplessly said.
Gu Lan's eyelashes trembled. Her wet eyes met the man's cold eyes that were like the ocean at night.
Such a look...
"I don't believe it …" She shook her head repeatedly, and almost impolitely took off the silver white mask on the man's face.
The mask fell to the floor.
Gu Lan Qing loosened her grip on the man's arm and retreated. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was caught off guard.
The reflection of his face reflected by his eyes was filled with scars that extended all the way down to his lower jaw. Even his lips were scarred. His face was actually just an undamaged face. Only his eyes were still intact.
It was as profound as a piece of ink stone.
His back was also similar to Huo Yan.
His aura was exactly the same as Huo Yan's.
However, he wasn't Huo Yan.
Huo Yan's face wasn't injured.
She could not hold it in any longer and turned around, covering her face with her hands. "I'm sorry … "I'm truly sorry …"
He wasn't Huo Yan.
The result made tears flow down his face quickly.
The waiter had already picked up the mask on the floor. Lani took the mask and put it on again.
Yang Jue looked at the waiter and the two of them left the room.
In the large guest room, there were only Lani and Gu Lanqing.
Gu Lanqing hadn't realized that Yang Jue and the waiter had left. Her thin and weak shoulders trembled as she cried.
When she felt warmth on her shoulders, she turned her head as if she was frightened and caught off guard.
Tears once again rolled down his moist eyes.
He looked at Lenny, flustered.
The silvery white mask reflected its radiance under the crystal lamp, falling into Gu Lanqing's eyes.
"Miss Gu, you don't need me to apologize. The one who should say sorry is me. to scare you. "
Her voice was hoarse.
It was a completely unfamiliar voice.
Gu Lan Qing felt her heart being pinched by someone. It was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe. She looked at the blue handkerchief in front of Lani and took it. It was also an unfamiliar fragrance of perfume.
Regardless of the details, it proved that Lani wasn't Huo Yan.
Gu Lanqing felt as if someone had twisted her heart, causing her to be in so much pain that she almost couldn't breathe.
"I was rude." She wiped away her tears and whispered.
Suddenly, something flashed through his mind.
The cup looks like an unseasoned cocktail...
Mr. Lenny's voice rang again, "Since Miss Gu has followed us, you must have found something. Yes, Mo Wanying did bribe the waiter to drug your cocktail. The poisoned cocktail is now in room 2156. "
"What?" Gu Lanqing was startled, thinking of the man's heavy breathing from inside the room.
Mr. Lenny said flatly: "There is a saying in China that you will kill yourself if you do something wrong. This phrase can best be used to describe Mo Wanying. "
Gu Lanqing was silent for a few seconds. Her heart turned cold as she thought about how Mo Wanying had repeatedly tried to use this method to deal with her.
But why did Mr. Lenny help her?
"Zichen and I are classmates in university, so we heard Miss Gu's name from his mouth. As a result, when they found out that Mo Zhan Ting and Mo Wanying were also coming to Director Yang's birthday, they made the waiter secretly pay attention to Miss Gu's safety. After all, Mo Zhan Ting had a grudge with Miss Gu in the Bright Moon Club. " Even though Huo Yan had sealed his mouth, rumors still spread out.
So Mr. Lenny would know, not surprisingly.
Gu Lanqing forced a smile at Mr. Lani. "Thank you."
Her gaze once again fell on Mr. Lenny's mask. Remembering her recklessness and lacking in manners, she apologized again, "Also, I'm sorry."
Mr Lani looked deeply at Gu Lan Qing. That look in his eyes made her want to run away subconsciously.
Soon after, Lenny's voice rang out, "If Miss Gu really feels guilty, can you do something for me? After all, the word 'sorry' is not something you can just touch with your upper lip. "
"What does Mr. Lenny want me to do?" Gu Lanqing could hear the hidden meaning behind Lani's words.
"Miss Gu, this way please." Lenny made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Lanqing looked in Lani's direction. It was a room with an ancient European style design, exquisite and elegant. There was a white grand piano in front of them.
She didn't understand what Mr Lenny wanted her to do. Perhaps it was because Mr Lenny was gentle and refined, or perhaps it was because his back was somewhat similar to Huo Yan's that she instinctively believed him.
As Lenny had instructed, she sat down on the burgundy sofa.
Lenny walked over to the piano and sat down.
He turned his head to the side and looked at Gu Lanqing, "Miss Gu, my zither arts are not good. "But I also like to play the piano very much, so, can I trouble you to be my listener?"
This request made Gu Lan Qing laugh.
How bad was his zither technique that he could not find a single audience member?
She nodded. "Of course."
Even though the silver-white mask covered Mr. Lenny's lips, she could feel him smiling.
Mr Lani turned his head and looked at Gu Lan Qing from her point of view. Her slender white fingers landed on the black and white keyboard, making her look very beautiful.
Soon after, a string of musical notes rang out, as agile as a clear spring.
Gu Lanqing couldn't help being surprised — how did this look like a bad zither art?
The sound of the zither was lively and agile, just like a charming young girl. To be able to express her feelings to her lover was a song that Gu Lanqing had never heard before.
This sound of the zither caused her to be unable to stop herself from recalling her memories from the past.
Every night in the old apartment where she and Huo Yan had lived, she would lie in front of the balcony and count the stars.
