Chapter 502: She Plays Even More Wildly Than We Do

When Yu Dazhang arrived in Songhai last night, it was already late at night.

Returning home at this hour would surely disturb his parents' rest, so after taking a vehicle back into the city, he simply found a hotel to spend the night.

Traveling itself consumes energy, and with the immense pressure he had endured recently, once he suddenly relaxed, all the fatigue surged up.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already four in the afternoon.

After leaving the hotel, Yu Dazhang first retrieved his car, then drove straight to Yisheng Group, yet even so, he was still a step too late.

Come to think of it, if not for Bai Jincheng and Li Wenxuan, he would never have met Qu Tuotuo.

The flowers were plucked from the roadside on the way to get the car.

He had originally intended to buy them at a flower shop, but time did not permit, so he had to make do.

"Who are these two?"

Yu Dazhang could tell these two were suitors of Qu Tuotuo, but out of politeness, he still asked.

"Don't mind them." Qu Tuotuo was too lazy to explain and directly grabbed his arm:

"Let's go."

Until the off-road vehicle drove away, Bai Jincheng still had not come to his senses.

After a long while, Li Wenxuan beside him spoke up:

"It didn't look like acting; that smile of Qu Tuotuo's just now was clearly the kind only a girl in love would have."

He had seen countless women, so he was not unfamiliar with such a smile.

"So the rumors are true." Bai Jincheng finally came to his senses now:

"She really found a fat man."

Li Wenxuan nodded in deep agreement:

"They say wealthy young women have unique tastes; only today have I truly witnessed it. She plays even more wildly than we do."

The two stood side by side like this, gazing in the direction the off-road vehicle had departed, their eyes not turning back for a long time.

On the way home.

"What happened to your wrist?"

Qu Tuotuo quickly noticed the bandage on Yu Dazhang's wrist.

"I got a little hurt."

Prompted by her reminder, Yu Dazhang hurriedly tore the bandage off.

If his mother saw this upon returning home, there would surely be another round of nagging.

"Hey, don't pull it!"

Qu Tuotuo was just about to stop him when the bandage had already been torn off by him, revealing the scratch on his wrist.

He really was a little hurt... She looked closely and found only a red line on Yu Dazhang's wrist; it seemed just a broken patch of skin.

"It's really nothing; I wrapped it up before to prevent infection."

He didn't have the heart to tell the truth; originally, he had wrapped it up because he wanted to fake a work injury and trick Li Mingzhao.

Seeing he was fine, Qu Tuotuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, she still couldn't help asking:

"How did you lose contact later?"

"A secret mission." Yu Dazhang explained vaguely:

"For the past month or so, I have been staying in a mountain valley where there was no contact with the outside world; the last time I called you was specially approved."

Upon hearing the two words "specially approved," Qu Tuotuo felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

She suddenly realized that Yu Dazhang did care about her; he had reserved his only opportunity to communicate with the outside world for her.

Yet that time, she had wasted that opportunity because of jealousy.

"Is Ye Lin's injury healed?"

Guilt aside, what needed to be asked still had to be asked.

This had always been a hurdle in Qu Tuotuo's heart.

"Her injury was never serious." At the mention of this, Yu Dazhang became angry:

"I was tricked into going this time; by the time I realized it, it was too late. That place is not somewhere one can leave at will."

After speaking, seeing Qu Tuotuo say nothing, he immediately explained again:

"Ye Lin and I are truly just colleagues. When I was hospitalized before, she came to visit me; I owe her that favor and must repay it."

As he spoke, he held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out with the other to take Qu Tuotuo's hand.

Seeing she did not pull away, Yu Dazhang said with a smile on his face:

"Just rest assured; besides you, who would take a fancy to me?"

This remark successfully made Qu Tuotuo laugh.

"That's true." She replied with a laugh:

"As long as you know."

Picking up Qu Tuotuo was the first step of Yu Dazhang's plan.

After waking up this afternoon, he had planned it out: first coax Qu Tuotuo, then take her home together.

This way, when facing his mother's anger, he would have an assistant by his side.
