No One Else Will Do But You - Chapter 59

Thus, Comrade Shu Yizhi stood by his word and truly assigned two bodyguards to Shu Luo. They basically never left his side, giving Jiang Mu no opportunity for contact whatsoever.

Furthermore, the high-profile luxury car transfers featured a different model every day, without repetition.

Shu Luo: “…” He was utterly speechless and impressed, because this was completely unlike his father’s style, nor did his family own that many cars.

Where did he borrow those props from…?

Every day, this eye-catching spectacle appeared at S Medical University: handsome sports cars ferrying Shu Luo to and from school, always accompanied by bodyguards. This truly satisfied the students’ craving for gossip.

The topic had to go viral.

“Did you see? Shu Luo came back after a month’s leave with bodyguards and luxury car transfers. Did he go off to get gilded this month?”

“He’s a rich second generation, a young master, to begin with. He was just low-key before.”

“Then why is he suddenly so high-profile now?”

“I heard the video of the fight last time was caused by someone deliberately causing trouble, and the Shu family wouldn’t let it go. Besides, haven’t you noticed Shu Luo has lost a lot of weight?”

“I’m not boy-crazy; I don’t pay attention to that much.”

“Why are you like that? It’s true! I’ve been watching Shu Luo for so long, how could I not tell if he’s lost weight? It’s obvious he’s lost a lot. It makes my heart ache.”

“Boy-crazy.”

Over the past few days, there had been endless discussions, and Shu Luo felt the attention on him had increased dramatically.

Enough is enough. He was a very low-key person.

“Dad, can’t I just live at school? Send the bodyguards away. Being so high-profile at school, how are people going to talk about me? As a nouveau riche?”

Shu Luo’s father replied: “Not until I stop catching you contacting A Mu.”

“Dad, there’s really no need for this.” Shu Luo felt helpless about his father’s methods.

“Shu Luo, are you refusing to listen to your father now!”

Shu Luo knew what kind of person his father was: “Dad, stop trying to fool me. If you were truly determined to break us up, you wouldn’t be speaking with this attitude.”

“What attitude! My attitude is that I absolutely cannot let you two be together! Luo Luo, be obedient. Your father is talking to you nicely now, otherwise—”

Shu Luo rubbed his nose, amused: “Otherwise what? Tell Mom? Or tell Grandma? Or send me away?”

Hey, this kid actually stole his lines!

“I’m keeping these two men watching you, and I refuse to believe it!” He refused to believe these two would still have a chance to meet.

Want to meet? That’s not difficult.

Shu Luo called his mother and shamelessly used his “I miss you, Mom” act. His mother, delighted, naturally agreed to see Shu Luo.

The two families were scheduled to eat together.

Shu Luo’s father: “…”

This brat is truly cunning, relying on the fact that his old man doesn’t dare to spill the beans! Just wait until tonight!

Shu Luo’s father was nearly worn out by this ordeal.

Shu Luo’s mother, Li Songping, was also curious about her husband’s recent behavior. Why did her usually low-key husband suddenly acquire so many luxury cars and bodyguards just to pick up and drop off Shu Luo? It puzzled her.

Li Songping said: “After all, Yizhi has become a prominent figure now. He’s just worried about something happening to Luo Luo outside, you know, being famous draws attention.”

Shu Luo’s mother believed her.

Then she saw her eldest son return. The son, who had grown increasingly refined, was a pleasing sight for any mother.

“Luo Luo, why are you home so early today? Yinyin hasn’t finished his classes yet.”

Shu Luo took off his outerwear, handed it to the housekeeper nearby, and then walked over, smiling, to sit next to Li Songping.

“I don’t have class this afternoon, so I came back early. Oh, where is Dad?”

Shu Luo’s mother said: “He won’t be back tonight.”

A flash of smugness crossed Shu Luo’s eyes: “Mom, I’ll go pick Yinyin up. I’ve never picked him up from school before.”

Shu Luo’s mother nodded: “That’s fine. Have the driver take you later.”

“No need, I’ll just ask Brother to come and pick me up. Oh, and can you ask Dad to call off the bodyguards following me? You know how expensive it is to hire them, right?”

Shu Luo’s mother shook her head: “No, I don’t. Isn’t Dad doing it for your safety?”

“That’s just an excuse. Maybe he’s trying to hide the fact that he’s spying on me?”

These words struck a nerve. Women are sensitive, especially when their successful husbands frequently socialize outside.

Shu Luo’s mother raised an eyebrow: “Luo Luo, you’re so old; can’t you protect yourself? What do you need bodyguards for? You’re not a national leader. I’ll take care of it. I’ll talk to your father later. Go ahead, pick Yinyin up.”

Haha.

Shu Luo turned around, a brilliant smile on his face.

Dad, a son who wants to fly cannot be stopped.

He immediately called Jiang Mu.

However, a woman, a stranger, answered the phone.

“Hello? May I ask what you need A Mu for? He’s resting now.”

Resting?! It was 3:30 PM. Why was he still resting?!

Shu Luo frowned: “Ask him to take the call.”

“He was very tired and just fell asleep.”

“Who are you?” Jiang Mu dared to involve another woman?! Hmph, watch me scratch him to death!

The woman’s voice on the phone was mumbled and indistinct, and then the call was hung up.

Shu Luo stared angrily at the disconnected phone. Maybe the woman just picked up Jiang Mu’s phone, right!

This is infuriating! My head hurts so much!

He had finally managed to shake off the bodyguards sent by his cunning father, only for Jiang Mu to go looking for a mistress after a few days of separation?!

Therefore, he turned back inside to grab a car key.

Shu Luo’s mother looked at him oddly holding the key: “Luo Luo, are you going to drive? Do you know how to drive?”

“Of course, I do.”

“No problem on the road. I’m going to pick up Yinyin.”

He was confident even without a license.

This dashing departure made Shu Luo’s mother suspicious. Why did he say one thing and do another? Didn’t he say he was going to meet Jiang Mu?

Out of concern, she still decided to call Jiang Mu.

“Hello? Godmother, why are you calling me suddenly?”

Jiang Mu was busy with a meeting at the time. Seeing his godmother call, he immediately paused the meeting, worried that something urgent had happened.

“A Mu, did Luo Luo call you saying he was coming to see you? I saw him driving and saying he was going to pick up Yinyin.”

Driving?!

Driving without a license?!

He immediately got up and left the conference room.

Everyone saw their usually calm and composed Boss rushing off. What was going on?

Comrade Xiao Fang deftly concluded the meeting and adjourned it.

When Jiang Mu returned to his office, he found the woman still inside.

He did not give her a pleasant look.

However, seeing signs that the phone on his desk had been moved, his eyes darkened.

“You touched my phone.” This was a statement, not a question.

The woman panicked slightly: “A Mu, I just answered a constantly ringing phone for you.”

“Please leave. You don’t need to come here again. I will talk to my mother. Also, we are not close enough for you to address me by my first name.”

Anyone would be scared of a cold-faced Jiang Mu, and she was no exception.

In fact, she was just an innocent girl named Jiang Xinlei, the daughter of a friend of Jiang Qin’s. Jiang Qin thought the girl looked decent, so she arranged for her to meet Jiang Mu.

But Jiang Mu showed no interest.

Jiang Mu drove to Shu Yin’s kindergarten from the basement parking garage.

A certain someone was driving on the ring road at a snail’s pace. Luckily, traffic was light in the suburbs at the moment, or there would have been an accident.

Shu Luo concentrated fully on the conditions in front, behind, and to the sides. Honestly… he regretted driving the car out. He had only casually touched the steering wheel two or three times before and roughly knew how to operate it.

This was his first practical attempt, and he dared not drive fast.

Beep, beep, beep—

Suddenly, the honking from behind made him slam the brakes, braking so hard that his head hit the seatback, leaving him momentarily dazed.

He touched the back of his head, feeling a little dizzy. What was wrong? Hadn’t he fully recovered yet? He quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

“Luo Luo, it’s me.”

The driver in the car honking next to him rolled down their window, revealing the face that made the “snail” driver furious.

Shu Luo glared angrily back and stopped the car.

Jiang Mu quickly got out to check on him. Was that pale face a sign of physical discomfort?

“Luo Luo, if you can’t drive, why did you take the car out?” Jiang Mu walked up to the car and immediately got into the passenger seat.

Shu Luo didn’t give him a kind look: “Didn’t someone say they were resting? Some beauty even said you were too tired and resting!”

This expression of jealous frustration made the corners of Jiang Mu’s mouth curve upward.

He reached out and rubbed Shu Luo’s hair, saying, “Are you jealous?”

“Get lost! Don’t try that with me.” Shu Luo batted his hand away.

“You haven’t seen me for several days. Don’t you miss me?”

Hearing Jiang Mu’s gentle tone, Shu Luo turned his face and looked at the person he hadn’t seen in days.

It was strange. The last time they went so many days without seeing each other was when Jiang Mu went back to France during Shu Luo’s first year of high school. Shu Luo was very unhappy then, but he endured it.

It had been six days since his discharge until today.

Today, their much-anticipated reunion was ruined by a woman.

Seeing Shu Luo staring blankly, Jiang Mu placed a hand on the back of his neck and kissed him directly.

It was a very gentle kiss, making one feel embraced.

Jiang Mu was a very skilled kisser.

When they parted, they lightly rested their foreheads against each other, breathing softly.

“Brother, your kissing skills are very practiced. Have you kissed people before?”

“Just looking at you makes me feel like I can do anything.”

Wow, that level of narcissism is quite something.

Shu Luo unbuckled his seatbelt: “You drive. Let’s go pick up Yinyin.”
