Chapter 140 -140: There’s a Bustle to Watch
Gu Pan didn’t feel that she was on the same wavelength as Lin Feifei, so she shook her head and said, “They have already established a relationship. Forcing a separation now would only anger the other party.”
Lin Ran then asked, “Do you know where my dad is right now? Could we possibly escape as well? Can we make it?”
Because Old Master Lin trusted Gu Pan and her family so much, Lin Ran didn’t have any guard up against her, and since he had no other choice, he knew that Gu Pan and her husband were not ordinary; thus, he still wanted to seek her advice.
Gu Pan said, “It’s actually harder for Old Master Lin and the others who left earlier. If you go now, you won’t be able to help them and might even drag them down. Your father hopes that once things have stabilized, then you can follow. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he let you go together?”
Lin Ran fell silent for a moment, “Then, what do you think we should do now? I only have one daughter. If something were to happen to Feifei, how could I go on living?”

Lu Ruisheng spoke with calmness, “Lin Feifei is an adult, and she has made her choice. Everyone has their own destiny.”
Lin Ran sighed, “Yes, everyone has their own fate. What else can I do? It’s already like this. Let’s leave it to fate then.”
Gu Pan said, “You have so much food, which already makes you better off than many others. I hope you can wait until you reunite with your father. We have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave now.”
Lin Ran couldn’t say anything more and saw them out.
When they were descending the stairs, Lin Feifei was not in the room, nor was Song Yiru. They were probably talking inside.
Of course, not seeing Lin Feifei was a relief. Gu Pan always felt like she was looking at an idiot whenever she saw her.
Tonight, no one went out; everyone stayed in to pack their belongings.
Unexpectedly, after it got dark, Fu Chenyuan came to Gu Pan’s home.
After he entered and settled down, Fu Chenyuan had his entourage wait outside the main gate, then he took the initiative to say, “Are you planning to leave?”
They didn’t fight or scramble for resources, didn’t like war, so they would definitely go to the base as soon as possible. He had also heard the news about the base, so he thought they would be going at the first opportunity, which is why he came.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng hadn’t expected Fu Chenyuan to come over and talk about this with them, since they had an understanding to not interfere with each other, and their previous transactions were strictly business with no personal feelings involved.
But now that he had come and asked, there was no need for them to lie; they replied they would be leaving in about that time frame.
Fu Chenyuan looked at them, his eyes filled with reluctance, “To be honest, although I don’t interact with you, I feel more at peace with you here. Rest assured, I’m not stopping you from going; it’s just, I’m reluctant to see you leave.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were both very surprised; this was indeed unexpected.
Fu Chenyuan took a deep breath, “I know you’re surprised, and it’s only because you’re leaving that I can talk to you about this. My companions are all bruisers, without any common language with me. There are many intellectuals on the periphery, but since our status is unequal, they can’t have a genuine conversation with me. Although we haven’t interacted much, speaking with you reminds me of life before the apocalypse. Once you leave, I might become increasingly detached from my former self.”
Gu Pan asked out of curiosity, “Then why don’t you go to the base?”
Fu Chenyuan shook his head, “As a businessman with no special skills, what would I do after arriving with my goods? Depend on supplies until they run out? Work labor afterward? I know everyone needs to let go of their past pride during the apocalypse, and I could do labor, but I don’t want to.”
Gu Pan understood; it was a matter of individual choices.
She said, “Now that you’ve chosen to stay, you have to face the problems that will arise from staying.”
Fu Chenyuan nodded, “I know, but I envy you, I am particularly envious or I should say jealous, jealous of your love for each other, jealous of your unity as husband and wife, jealous that you have friends in the apocalypse. I’ve always had a superior life, I also consider myself a successful person, and I now have my own team, but these truly pale in comparison to what you have.”
Lu Ruisheng also admitted that not to mention other aspects, the relationship he shared with his wife was definitely something many people couldn’t match.
He wanted to say something comforting but felt that anything he might say would seem like showing off, so he decided not to speak.
Similarly, Gu Pan thought to offer some comforting words, but what could she say? Better not to speak at all.
Fu Chenyuan looked at their expressions and laughed, he continued, “I came today to say goodbye. Perhaps we can’t even be considered friends, but I’ll always remember you and wish you continued happiness in the future.”
After speaking, he placed a pendant carved from Purple Jade on the table, “A parting gift.” Then he strode out, his figure somewhat forlorn.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng hadn’t expected Fu Chenyuan to come and have such a conversation with them. In the time of apocalypse, it really could change a lot of people’s mentalities and lead to many incomprehensible behaviors, which they had grown accustomed to.
Sometimes, the ones you need to guard against most in the apocalypse are not strangers without entangled interests—for as long as you keep your distance, there’s no trouble, and casual conversation with them is harmless. But you need to be more cautious around those close to you, as once resources run low or danger arises, notions of brotherhood, sisterhood and even parents, or children, might not be reliable. They could even turn on you for survival.
The apocalypse twisted human nature, so those who still had loved ones and friends in such times were very fortunate—most people had become abnormal.
Gu Pan picked up the pendant from the coffee table, “You know, it’s quite beautiful, better looking than the ones we traded before.” Although she didn’t understand jade, aesthetically, it was indeed pretty.
Lu Ruisheng took the jade pendant over, “I don’t see anything special about it, let me keep it.”
Gu Pan looked into Lu Ruisheng’s eyes and laughed, asking, “Are you jealous?”
Lu Ruisheng touched his nose, “No, I just don’t like my wife wearing gifts from other men.”
Gu Pan couldn’t help but stretch her hand out to caress his face, “What’s up with that.”
Lu Ruisheng leaned down and kissed Gu Pan’s lips.
Gu Pan’s arms encircled Lu Ruisheng’s neck, reciprocating his kiss.
“Big sis, there’s excitement…” Cheng Yang ran into the house, shouting as he did, but when he reached the doorway and saw the scene before him, he awkwardly stopped, then turned to run back out.
Gu Pan called out to him, “Why are you running? We aren’t doing anything shameful, this is just normal interaction between husband and wife. What exciting thing were you talking about? Tell me quickly.”
Seeing that the couple were unfazed, Cheng Yang also returned, “Lin Feifei is fighting with someone in the garden, I know you love watching the action, so I came to get you.”
When Gu Pan heard this, she urged, “Then let’s hurry over, we don’t want to miss out if it’s already finished.” And with that, she ran out even faster than Cheng Yang.
Lu Ruisheng watched his wife’s retreating figure with a helpless smile, thinking it was a good thing that in this life she didn’t have it so hard.
He locked the door and decided also to go and watch.
By that time, Gu Pan and Cheng Yang had already reached the small plaza in the garden, where a crowd had gathered to watch the commotion.
