Lu Zhiyuan deliberately blocked my way, which made me a little annoyed.

I asked him coldly, "What do you mean? Are you planning to imprison me here?"

"Do you have to speak to me in such a hostile tone?" Lu Zhiyuan asked me back, his expression tinged with loneliness.

I was suddenly choked and speechless.

Lu Zhiyuan sighed inexplicably and said to himself, "Forget it. I know you're in a bad mood after the miscarriage."

He lifted the things in his hand and forced a gentle smile. "I bought a lot of your favorite food. Even if you go out, you should fill your stomach before leaving, right?"

I watched him walk to the dining table, put all the bags and boxes in his hands in order, and open them one by one.

As he said, every one of them is my favorite.

The steamed dumplings in Bei Street, the osmanthus steamed cakes in Nanshi, the mutton soup in the west of the city, the braised pork knuckle in red sauce at the East Suburb Morning Market...

To buy all the delicious food on this table, one would have to travel all over the capital.

I looked at Lu Zhiyuan in astonishment. He didn't go to work and wandered around Beijing for the whole morning just to buy me these things I liked to eat?

It is impossible to say that my heart was not moved at all. Lu Zhiyuan was so attentive that I believed for a moment that he really had feelings for me and really wanted me to come back to him.

Lu Zhiyuan urged me: "Come and eat quickly. You are weak after the miscarriage. Eating more good food will help you recover."

The mention of "miscarriage" made me wake up from my trance in just one second and become clear-headed.

I avoided his fiery gaze and refused coldly: "No, you can eat it yourself. I have an appointment with Qiu Qiu to have lunch together at noon. I can't eat these."

"Forget it, I won't force you." Even though I didn't look up, I could hear the loneliness in Lu Zhiyuan's tone.

It was touching that he spent the whole morning buying these things, but these tricks no longer work for me.

Besides, I am just using him now and have no feelings for him at all, so his kindness is totally worthless.

I raised my eyes and gave Lu Zhiyuan a cold look: "You don't have to do this. I just came back to stay for a few days."

After saying this, I walked out of the house and took a taxi to VC Media.

I stood downstairs of VC Media and didn't feel embarrassed at all as a former employee.

Employees came out of the building one after another, including some from VC Media. When my colleagues from the same company saw me, they all pretended not to see me and avoided me as if I were the plague.

I don't care, since they are all people I have had no contact with before.

A moment later, Qiu Qiu walked out of the elevator, followed by several colleagues he had worked with before.

"Shanshan!" Qiu Qiu naturally came towards me without any hesitation. The other colleagues and I looked at each other and greeted him awkwardly but politely.

"Sister Lan!"

The sudden sound made me look around subconsciously, and I saw Wang Xue squeezing out from the crowd.

Wang Xue's eyes sparkled as she pulled me aside and asked, "Sister Lan, have you been doing well since leaving the company? Those things that happened before didn't have any impact on your life, did they?"

Although Wang Xue asked politely, it was obvious that she still wanted to be the first to eat the melon.

But this is exactly what I want, and I just want her to add fuel to the fire.

I smiled and said to Wang Xue, "You guys still have to work this afternoon! Why don't we go to the restaurant and chat while we eat?"
