Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Do I need you to buy sanitary napkins?

[Where are they?] This was the message from Lu Mingzhou.

What did he mean by this? Ye Anyu sat on the toilet and replied: [Toilet.]

Ye Anyu looked at the dialog box prompt: The other party is typing...

After waiting for about a minute, the other party was still typing. Ye Anyu was confused. What was Lu Mingzhou trying to send? Why was he so conflicted? It was not in line with his usual style at all.

Finally, Ye Anyu couldn't bear it anymore and sent a question mark.

After a few seconds, the other party finally sent a message: [Do you need me to buy sanitary napkins? ]

So Lu Mingzhou was struggling for a long time, wondering whether he should help me buy... sanitary napkins. Ye Anyu's mind instantly flashed with the image of Lu Mingzhou going to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins, with a cold face and shyness. Ye Anyu shook his head. No, how could Lu Mingzhou be shy? He picked a pack of sanitary napkins seriously.

That look must be very ascetic, and just thinking about it makes Ye Anyu feel very moved.

No, Lu Mingzhou was talking about needing her to buy sanitary napkins. Then he definitely wouldn’t buy them himself. Thinking of this, Ye Anyu’s face showed disappointment.

A message popped up again in the dialog box: [? ]

Ye Anyu immediately typed: [No need] Just as she was about to click the send button, her finger reached for the delete key for some unknown reason.

【Required.】The message was sent successfully.

For some reason, Ye Anyu wanted to give it a try, even though he knew there was a high probability that Lu Mingzhou would ask someone else to buy it.

After sending this message, there was no more news from the other side. Ye Anyu shook her head, wondering what she was expecting. Lu Mingzhou must have gone to the banquet hall for a social event, and then he just asked a waiter to buy it for her and send it over.

A few minutes later, just as Ye Anyu's expectations were completely extinguished and he was about to walk out of the bathroom, the screen of his cell phone suddenly lit up.

Ye Anyu's breathing suddenly stagnated. Somehow, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind, and she carefully opened the screen of her mobile phone.

[I'm at the toilet door, looking for someone to take me in.]

A few seconds later, a female voice sounded in the restroom: "Ms. Ye, which room are you in?"

When Ye Anyu received the sanitary napkin, she was still amazed. Did Lu Mingzhou really buy it for her? But when she thought about it carefully, it only took a few minutes. How could he have done it so quickly? Maybe he asked the staff for it.

Even so, Ye Anyu was still very happy. She thought about it and then typed and sent: [Thank you.]

Lu Mingzhou: [Well, I'll be leaving first.]

When Ye Anyu came out of the bathroom, he did not see Lu Mingzhou.

There were too many people in the banquet hall, and Ye Anyu didn't want to go over. She looked around and found an empty room, sitting in the room in a daze. She held the blue-gray bag beside her, which contained the sanitary napkins that Lu Mingzhou had given her.

A moment later, Ye Anyu's phone screen lit up: [How is it? If you feel unwell, go back first.]

The words on the screen looked cold. Ye Anyu seemed to see Lu Mingzhou standing in front of her, his face expressionless, his eyes calm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said coldly: "Well, if you feel unwell, go back first."

But for the first time, Ye Anyu truly felt Lu Mingzhou's care. Her sixth sense told her that Lu Mingzhou seemed to be really changing.

Today they came to celebrate the 60th birthday of Lu Junyi, her so-called father-in-law. She came but did not meet her father-in-law and his family. That was very impolite. Ye Anyu did not want Lu Mingzhou to be blamed for this.

【It's all right now.】

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, and then a new message popped up on the phone: [Come to the lobby.]

Ye Anyu looked at the time. It was almost noon and the dinner was about to start. She straightened her messy hair in front of the glass in the room and then walked out.

As relatives, the Lu and Ye families were arranged together in the front box. As soon as Ye Anyu walked out of the door, he received the gazes of countless people in the banquet hall. Shi Taichu, who was sitting in the banquet hall, watched Ye Anyu walk forward until he entered the box.

"Ye Anyu, Ye..." An idea suddenly popped up in Shi Taichu's mind.

"Mr. Shi, what are you talking to yourself?" Mr. Chen, who was sitting next to him, asked in confusion.

Shi Taichu shook his head, "How is this possible?"

He had known Ye Anyu since college. If she was a rich girl, why did she need to work part-time to earn a living in college? Besides, he had never heard her say that.

"The homes of these rich people are always in a mess. You know the prestigious Ye family, right? It's said that they brought their illegitimate daughter home just to arrange a marriage."

"How is that possible?" Mr. Chen was confused and increasingly confused about what Shi Taichu was talking about.

"It's okay." Shi Taichu then realized that his reaction just now was a bit inappropriate.

If this is true, then Ye Anyu's identity is definitely not simple.

Ye Anyu passed through the bustling banquet hall, got rid of countless strange gazes, and finally pushed open the door of the box. The door cracked a little, and Ye Anyu saw that everyone at the table was talking and laughing, with smiles on their faces, and no one noticed her, except for one person, whose eyes were fixed on her.

Seeing Ye Anyu in a daze, Lu Mingzhou waved his hand and motioned her to come over.

"Anyu, come and sit down." Lu Xingzhi followed Lu Mingzhou's gaze and said after seeing Ye Anyu.

Hearing this, Ye Anyu did not move and still stood there.

Lu Xingzhi glanced around and realized that there was no other vacant seat.

In the box, Ye Xinyi looked at Ye Anyu with ill intentions, and her stepmother Wang also had a smile on her face. It was obvious that the two mothers were laughing at Ye Anyu.

Lu's father and mother did not say anything, showing that they did not take their daughter-in-law seriously. Lu Mingzhou had a blank expression on his face, while the others were just there to laugh at the joke.

Just when everyone thought Ye Anyu would leave in disgrace, Lu Mingzhou, the founder who had always been cold and taciturn, and who had led Ming'an Group to become the leader in Beian in just a few years, suddenly stood up. The box instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He walked towards Ye Anyu with his long legs, his eyes fixed on her. After a few seconds, he walked in front of Ye Anyu, changing his usual cold demeanor and speaking in a very gentle tone: "Anyu, aren't you feeling unwell? How about I take you home first?"

Ye Anyu was startled by this sudden action. After a moment of hesitation, she reacted. Everyone at the table was probably laughing at her. Lu Mingzhou was trying to calm her down. She immediately cooperated and said, "Brother, I'm fine. Today is Dad's birthday. How can I, as his daughter-in-law, be absent?"

Lu Mingzhou's eyebrows raised uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously a few degrees.

"Okay." Lu Mingzhou pulled up Ye Anyu's hand that was hanging beside his leg and walked to the chair he had just made. He pulled out the chair and motioned Ye Anyu to sit down.

After Ye Anyu sat down, she noticed two burning gazes. Ye Xinyi and her stepmother Wang Wenmin stared at her viciously with their small eyes.

The waitress next to her was very considerate. After a few seconds, she brought a new chair and placed it on Ye Anyu's left side, with Lu Xingzhi next to her right side.

Lu Mingzhou stared at the chair for a few seconds, moved it to the right side of Ye Anyu, and sat between her and Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi smiled helplessly. When did his brother become so childish?

Seeing the atmosphere in the box cool down, Ye Heshuo smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Today is my father-in-law's sixtieth birthday. I'd like to toast him first."

Lu Junyi would naturally not offend Ye Heshuo. He raised the wine glass in front of him and clinked it with Ye Heshuo's, then pretended to take a sip. The atmosphere in the box eased a lot at this point.

Seeing that her good sister didn't make a fool of herself, but instead showed off her affection to everyone, Ye Xinyi was furious. She whispered to her mother beside her, "Mom, look at her."

Wang Wenmin had made it this far, so naturally she wouldn't be as impatient as her daughter. She patted her daughter's hand, glanced at Ye Anyu, and whispered, "She won't be so proud for long."

After hearing this, Ye Xinyi was still angry, but she held it back and didn't lash out. She wanted to watch her mother deal with Ye Anyu with her own eyes.

After a moment, Wang Wenmin smiled and said, "A few days ago, I ran into a former classmate by chance. She boasted to me that her daughter-in-law had given her two grandchildren."

After saying this, Wang Wenmin looked at Ye Anyu and continued, "Anyu and Mingzhou have been married for three years, but there's no sign of pregnancy."

The box fell silent again, and everyone's eyes turned to Ye Anyu.

Li Huijun, the wife of the Lu family, doesn't care whether Ye Anyu is pregnant or not. She even thinks it's better if she is not pregnant so that her child can get more when the day comes to divide the family property. But Lu Junyi is different. Lu Mingzhou is his proud son, so he naturally hopes that Lu Mingzhou will give him more grandchildren.

Of course, Lu Mingzhou now had his own company, which was no longer under his control. He looked at Lu Mingzhou with a smile and said, "Mingzhou, do you and Anyu have any plans? When will you have a big fat boy?"

Ye Anyu's mind paused for a few seconds. She and Lu Mingzhou were in a contract marriage and had not even become husband and wife. How could she possibly get pregnant and have a child? Moreover, the three-year agreement was about to expire. She couldn't let the child live in a single-parent family as soon as he was born. Ye Anyu knew the hardships of single-parent families, and she would never let her child suffer the same.

This was originally a plot by her stepmother and sister, but it implicated Lu Mingzhou. She said, "It's all because..."

"I'm afraid that I will become an unqualified father like you." Lu Mingzhou stared at Lu Junyi and said word by word.

The air froze instantly.

After Li Huijun realized what was happening, she said angrily, "Mingzhou, how do you talk to your father?"

Lu Mingzhou's mouth twitched sarcastically, and he said coldly: "You can't even discipline your own children, so why are you reaching out to me now?"

The expression on Li Huijun's face instantly became extremely interesting. The box was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The waiter standing nearby was stunned when he heard such a secret about the rich man. The next second he was thinking whether he would be silenced. After thinking that we are now in a society ruled by law, he finally felt relieved.

"And you." Lu Mingzhou's gaze shifted to Wang Wenmin. "Take care of your own children first."

“You, you, you…” Thinking that the Ye family’s company is now backed by Ming’an Group, Wang Wenmin said “you” for a long time but finally held it back.

"Dad, I have something to do at the company, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he pulled Ye Anyu out of the box. Ye Anyu bowed to Lu Junyi as he walked.

Everyone in the hall was drinking and chatting happily. Someone saw the door of the box where the birthday boy was suddenly opened. The next second, a tall man walked out with a woman behind him.

Everyone recognized the man at a glance, he was the upstart tech star Lu Mingzhou, but the woman was a complete stranger to them.

Everyone knows that Lu Mingzhou is married, but no one has ever seen his wife. So, is the woman in front of him his wife, or...

For a moment, everyone's minds were full of thoughts, but Shi Taichu, who was sitting next to them, picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.
