GBP Chapter 182 I Never Liked You
Chapter 182 I Never Liked You
~
Five days later in the morning, Lu Weimin was about to leave Shanghai.
Commander Wu, Zheng Huichun, and several leaders of the Military Commission came to the hospital to see him off.
Lu Yan stood in front of the car door, his face full of worry. "Grandpa, if you get tired on the road, find a place to rest for a day before continuing. Don't rush on."
Lu Weimin smiled helplessly, "I see. You've repeated this sentence over and over again at least ten times. If you keep nagging, you'll almost catch up with your grandmother!"
Lu Yan also laughed and said, "If you don't listen to me, you'll be nagged by my grandma when you go back."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Ruan Zhao came over from behind.
"Mr. Lu," Ruan Zhao called out, then walked over to the car and handed him the ceramic jar. "I heard you get carsick. Here are some sour plums. You can put one in your mouth when you're carsick."
Lu Weimin took a look and quickly reached out to take it. "Okay, thank you Comrade Xiao Ruan."
As he spoke, his gaze lingered between her and Lu Yan. Finally, for some unknown reason, he said, with a hint of meaning, "Comrade Xiao Ruan, my grandson sometimes acts a bit shaky. If possible, could you keep an eye on him for me?"
Ruan Zhao: “…”
She didn't quite understand what this meant.
Seeing Lu Weimin waiting expectantly for his answer, Ruan Zhao didn't refuse. "Don't worry, if Commander Lu encounters any difficulties, I will help him as long as I can."
Lu Weimin then smiled, "Okay, then I'm relieved."
Lu Weimin's car drove away and the others also left.
Ruan Zhao was about to turn around when Lu Yan called her.
Ruan Zhao paused and looked up at him. "Master Lu, what's going on?"
Hearing the politeness in her words, Lu Yan's heart tightened, and then he said, "I want to talk to you."
Ruan Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering why this guy suddenly came to his senses. But she didn't refuse. "Okay."

Ruan Zhao followed Lu Yan to the pavilion in the backyard of the hospital.
Lu Yan spoke first, "Thank you for taking care of my grandfather these past few days."
Ruan Zhao replied casually. "You don't have to thank me. I was entrusted by Elder Gong."
Lu Yan's eyes moved, and he guessed something, but didn't ask too much.
Seeing that he was silent, Ruan Zhao took the initiative to ask, "Master Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Yan moved his fingers, seeming to be a little conflicted.
But he hesitated for only a moment before looking up at Ruan Zhao and saying solemnly, "I want to ask you, have you ever truly loved me?"
Ruan Zhao's brows furrowed as he looked at Lu Yan's nervous expression and replied helplessly, "Does this matter? You suddenly ignored me, isn't it because you've already made up your mind about me? So, what does it matter whether I like you or not?"
Lu Yan was speechless for a moment.
Thinking of what happened in her dormitory that day, Lu Yan continued. "I just want to know if there is any misunderstanding between us?"
To this day, Lu Yan still hopes that what happened that day was just a misunderstanding.
Even though he saw them lying on the same bed with his own eyes, he still hoped that it was all a misunderstanding, or that Ruan Zhao had no choice.
Lu Yan also just realized that his love for Ruan Zhao had reached such a humble level.
Ruan Zhao frowned after hearing this, "Master Lu, it doesn't matter whether there is a misunderstanding or not.
The important thing is, if you really like me, you won’t give up on me easily because of any misunderstanding.
Since you've already given up, why bother pursuing it so much?"
Lu Yan: “…”
Ruan Zhao really didn't want to argue with him about these things anymore. Since he didn't want to be with her anymore, there was no point in saying more. "If there's nothing else, I still have work to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Ruan Zhao turned around and left.
Seeing her so indifferent, Lu Yan felt as if something had grabbed his heart and was tightening it.
His throat moved and he suddenly shouted, "Do you know what I saw that day?"
Ruan Zhao paused, but did not look back.
Lu Yan continued. "If anyone saw the woman they loved with another man..."
Lu Yan felt like there was a branding iron in his throat, it was painful and astringent, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.
After a long pause, he continued, "I admit that I lost to Qin Zongwu. I'm almost going crazy with jealousy. Now I just want an answer. Is that not okay?"
Ruan Zhao had already heard the reason for his misunderstanding from his words.
Thinking that it was Qin Zongwu's doing again and Lu Yan had misunderstood her again, she felt speechless.
It is obvious that both of them don't like the heroine, but they can't escape the plot of being entangled with the same woman.
Ruan Zhao even suspected that these two people were entangled with him at the same time just because of the plot.
Ruan Zhao felt both amused and troubled when he thought that he had become the reason for their plot change.
What a crappy plot, it's okay if she just stays out of it.
Ruan Zhao took a deep breath, turned to look at Lu Yan, and said directly, "Okay, then I'll tell you, I've never liked you, and I'm with you only because of the purple energy on you.
Master Lu, you now know the answer, so please don't come to me again."
After saying that, Ruan Zhao ignored Lu Yan and turned around and left.
Lu Yan stood there, his eyes full of gloom.
"Haha!" After reacting, he suddenly sneered twice, feeling that he was very ridiculous.
He really deserved it. He wanted an answer so badly, but now that he was about to get it, he felt so uncomfortable...

After that day, Lu Yan and Ruan Zhao never met again.
Lu Yan turned his emotional pain into strength and led his troops directly into the mountains for training.
Without Qin Zongwu and Lu Yan, Ruan Zhao also lived a peaceful life.
At noon that day, in the hospital cafeteria.
Ruan Zhaozheng and Shen Yanqing were sitting together for dinner when Shen Yanqing suddenly said, "Come with me to buy clothes tomorrow."
Ruan Zhao paused, then realized what she meant. Surprise filled his face. "What's going on? You're actually asking to buy new clothes?"
Shen Yanqing looked up and glanced at her, then said calmly, "I have a date in a few days."
Ruan Zhao: “…”
What a bombshell!
Ruan Zhao swallowed his food, straightened up, and looked gossipy. "Who are you going on a date with?"
Shen Yanqing glanced at her again, her eyes seemed to say that she was asking questions even though she knew the answer.
Ruan Zhao was even more surprised after receiving the signal in her eyes. "No, when did Luo Yang capture you? How come I didn't know?"
She sees these two people almost every day, but she didn't realize that they are a perfect match?
Shen Yanqing glared at her unhappily, "You're so busy running around every day, it's strange that you know."
Shen Yanqing didn't say it. She actually felt embarrassed to be taken down by Luo Yang, so she didn't dare to tell Ruan Zhao.
Ruan Zhao asked Shen Yanqing some more detailed questions, and finally agreed to go clothes shopping with her tomorrow.

Xiangtuo Mountain
Lu Yan was originally leading his troops for training on the mountain, but he discovered that several large pits suddenly appeared in front of the straw huts they had built before.
So Lu Yan asked people to dig soil and fill the pit.
"Commander, this hole can't be filled." Ding Yuning looked at the big hole in front of him, which had not been filled for half an hour, with a puzzled look on his face.
Lu Yan walked over, took a look, and asked directly, "How much soil has been filled?"
"There are already more than 30 cars, and it's still like this." Ding Yuning suddenly thought of something and said mysteriously, "Do you think there is something dirty in this pit?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Yan retorted, but he became suspicious in his heart.
After thinking about it, Lu Yan decided to try again, "Go find some stones."
"Okay." Ding Yuning nodded, turned and left.
An hour later, Lu Yan and Ding Yuning were both stunned by the sight of the huge hole that was still there despite being stuffed with several trucks of rocks.
Lu Yan suddenly thought of something and said, "Let's go down the mountain first."
