Gou An really wanted to know what He Ran thought about Lu Wan getting into He Jinxing’s car tonight, so she stood in front of the school and did something that fit her status as ‘a vicious female supporting character’——

She pointed her phone camera at the back of He Jinxing’s car, took a picture of the license plate number, and then sent a message to He Ran.

[HOLD ON GOU CAN WIN: Is this Mr. He’s car? Why is your little girlfriend sitting in it? She doesn’t look good. Is she sick?]

He Ran didn’t reply to her.

But about ten minutes later—and Gou An felt that she really should have realized this would happen—while she was still waiting for He Ran’s response to her message, who else would come running out the school gates like his butt was on fire, looking all anxious? This guy was carrying a motorcycle safety helmet, panic written all over his face. He climbed onto his motorcycle that was worth half a million yuan.

He was so anxious that he didn’t see Gou An standing next to him the whole time.

Throwing the helmet onto the hump at the rear, he fired up the motorcycle. Amidst the earth-shattering roar of the four-cylinder motorcycle’s exhaust pipe, he was about to put the metal beast in gear and leave, when the helmet was directly shoved onto his head.

He was stunned, and the visor of his helmet was lifted from the outside. Standing next to his motorcycle was the expressionless Miss Gou.

“Are you in such a hurry to go to the grave and play ancestor?” Gou An asked calmly, “Is the helmet at the butt of the bike just hanging there for display?”

“…”

He Ran opened his mouth, and for some reason he had the illusion of being caught cheating——

He was not like this before. He could accept love letters from other female classmates without any hesitation even in front of Gou An, and he could also laugh and drink with other women at the bar. He never cared about what Gou An was thinking, nor did he care about her life or death.

But it was a little different now.

“Where are you going in such a rush?”

“Hospital,” He Ran said honestly, “Lu Wan was sick. She said she met a kind person who brought her to the hospital…”

“The kind person is Mr. He.”

He Ran didn’t seem to think that his Young Uncle could pose any threat to him or shake his status at all. He nodded and replied calmly, “Probably.”

Gou An was still staring at him, shocked about his calm acceptance of this matter, when—to her surprise—she heard him ask again, “What’s wrong, do you want to come too?”

Gou An: “?”

Gou An: “… Should I accompany you to have your brain treated then?”

In fact, He Ran was also speechless. He didn’t even know what he was doing by inviting Gou An. Was it because he thought the current relationship was not confusing enough?

But he was very earnest in his offer. He took out a safety lock key and got another helmet from the back of a motorcycle parked beside his. “It’s okay to go and have a look. I’ll take you on my bike, okay?”

In the past, Gou An always wanted to ride on his motorcycle and let him take her for a ride, but He Ran always refused…

And just so he really wouldn’t be able to carry her, he removed the back seats in all of his bikes and changed them into humps that could not accommodate people.

Gou An didn’t know what kind of wrong medicine he took today and originally wanted to continue to refuse, but a stupid cat in her mind started jumping up and down urging her to go to the hospital with him, yowling that it was best not to give the male and female protagonist too many opportunities to get along…

She thought about it, frowned, and reluctantly reached out to take the helmet from He Ran’s hand that he had removed from some random person’s motorbike——

As soon as she stretched out her hand to take it, Young Master He suddenly retracted his hand as if he remembered something… He quickly took off the helmet he was wearing and put it on Gou An’s head while he himself put on the helmet of the unknown owner.

The helmet was worn over the head for protection, something a person wore close to the face.

Gou An got on the motorbike, her head duly covered with a helmet. She was about to warn Young Master He that if the liquid foundation on her face rubbed off on the lining of his helmet, to please don’t go crazy and just let her compensate him…

At this time the motorbike started again.

Amid the loud noise, Gou An heard He Ran reluctantly explain, “This is Zhou Yanji’s helmet. He doesn’t wash his hair every day… Just wear mine.”

In the hospital, Lu Wan had already been hooked up to an intravenous drip, and the light blue vein on the back of her hand was covered with tape. She lowered her head, looking very unaccustomed to the environment of the VIP ward.

If it were possible, she wanted to go back to the infusion hall and squeeze on the hard iron bench with other people; that would be more comfortable than this.

Her hands unconsciously rubbed the sheets. Directly across the hospital bed, a man was lazily leaning on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. The suit on his body did not have too many wrinkles despite his relaxed sitting posture—

Lu Wan already knew the identity of the person in front of her: his name was He Jinxing, and he was He Ran’s young uncle.

Who didn’t know of He Jinxing? Then that person probably wasn’t from Jiancheng. In Jiancheng his name was like thunder… The youngest son of the He family. The best among all the sons of Old Mr. He, and the one who held the highest and most noblest existence in his generation.

Such a background should have made it easier for him to have grown into a derelict playboy, but the fact was exactly the opposite—possessing an excellent IQ, he studied abroad for his undergraduate degree; graduated early with a doctorate from an Ivy League school; and at less than thirty years old, he established his own company and made his first pot of gold.

Mr. He just returned from managing his companies overseas and was now poised to take over the entirety of the He family’s substantial holdings. Under the control of He Jinxing, the He family could now truly be said to be able to cover the sky in Jiangcheng with one hand.
