Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Let Me Do It

Hearing the noise at the door, Lu Mingzhou opened his eyes and looked over. Ye Anyu was startled by the person sitting in the room, and the gift bag he was holding hit the shoe cabinet with a "clang".

Ye Anyu screamed in pain at the same time. The gift bag bounced back after hitting the shoe cabinet and accidentally scratched Ye Anyu's wrist, and a drop of blood oozed out.

Lu Mingzhou, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up in panic after hearing the sound.

Ye Anyu put down the gift bag in his hand, raised his hand to look at his wrist, and walked straight to the bathroom.

The water rushed out and dripped onto Ye Anyu's wrist. The blood beads were washed away by the water and flowed down his wrist.

This kind of injury is nothing to Ye Anyu, she is not a delicate young lady.

When the wound stopped bleeding, Ye Anyu took a tissue and wiped the water off.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lu Mingzhou standing in the living room with something in his hand. If I was not mistaken, it should be a first aid kit.

Is Lu Mingzhou injured somewhere? This was Ye Anyu's first thought, but after seeing the look in Lu Mingzhou's eyes, she realized that it was for her.

Lu Mingzhou is very abnormal and has been very abnormal for a while. Why is he suddenly so nice to me?

Before Ye Anyu could figure it out, he heard Lu Mingzhou in the living room speak: "How's your hand?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

"Do you want to take care of it?" Lu Mingzhou looked at the first aid kit in his hand.

"No need." Ye Anyu blurted out, not because she didn't want to deal with it, but because this minor injury didn't need to be dealt with at all.

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them fell silent. On the balcony, the curtains were blown up by the sudden autumn wind, just covering a green plant in the corner of the wall. With the strong wind, it fell to the ground with a "crack".

The ceramic flowerpot was broken into pieces, the soil was scattered everywhere, and a green plant lay alone on the cold floor.

The silence was broken, and they both looked towards the balcony.

Ye Anyu bought this green plant when she just got married. One day when she passed by a flower shop, she saw this green plant at a glance. Thinking that her home was too lonely, she brought it back without hesitation.

For a period of time, Ye Anyu was on a business trip and had no time to take care of the green plants. She thought that the plants had died when she came back. But when she returned home, she found that the plants were still green and holding their heads high.

The vitality of green plants is really tenacious. This is what Ye Anyu thought at the time. Until one day she saw Lu Mingzhou watering the green plants, she realized that it was Lu Mingzhou who was taking good care of the green plants when she was away.

In fact, he was not always cold and heartless. Ye Anyu had once had such an illusion at that time.

Ye Anyu walked to the broken green plant, bent down and stretched out his hand towards the plant, but before he touched the plant, he was intercepted in mid-air by someone.

"Let me handle it." The voice was still cold.

Ye Anyu did not refuse. After looking at the green plants on the ground, she turned around and returned to her room.

She bought this pot of green plant when she first got married. Three years later, they are about to divorce. Does this mean that their marriage is really coming to an end?

Ye Anyu is not a pessimist, but he is not an optimist either.

Maybe Lu Mingzhou just threw away the green plant.

The next day, when Ye Anyu got up, he went to take a look at the balcony first. It was cleaned very cleanly. Not only were there no green plants, but not even a grain of soil was left. Ye Anyu went to take a look at the trash can. It was empty.

Sure enough, Lu Mingzhou lost it.

Just throw it away. If they really get divorced, keeping it will make her think of Lu Mingzhou, so it’s better to throw it away now.

Wu Yao has many friends in Bei'an. It would be more accurate to say that they were attending her birthday party rather than accompanying her on her birthday. Ye Anyu only found out about this last night.

Some of Wu Yao's friends knew Ye Anyu before, and some even had a decent relationship with her. Thinking of this, Ye Anyu felt a little headache. Now she didn't want to see her old friends at all.

But it was Wu Yao's birthday after all, so he agreed to her request.

Thinking of this, Ye Anyu thought of the gifts. He had put the gift bags at the entrance yesterday and forgot about them. Ye Anyu walked to the entrance in slippers, and saw the two gift bags lying there.

That's right, he doesn't have to worry about this at all. There is no one else in this house except Lu Mingzhou and Aunt Liu who comes to clean the house every week. Aunt Liu will not come until tomorrow, and Lu Mingzhou will not touch her things.

She put the gift bag containing the tie into her room. She bought it on impulse yesterday and there was no way she was giving it to Lu Mingzhou. Even if she gave it to him, Lu Mingzhou probably wouldn't accept it.

Ye Anyu suddenly had an idea in his mind. Why not give it to Lu Mingzhou as a divorce gift?

Ye Anyu patted his head and was speechless. What was he thinking about every day? Who would give gifts to their spouse after getting divorced?

But if you think about it carefully, their marriage is different from those divorces caused by quarrels and domestic violence. Their marriage is more like a cooperation. It is normal to give gifts to the cooperation partner after the cooperation ends.

In this case, it seems that it can be given to Lu Mingzhou on the day of divorce. Thinking of this, Ye Anyu nodded affirmatively.

Wu Yao’s birthday party was in the evening. Ye Anyu got up at ten o’clock, so it wouldn’t be too late to go there in the afternoon.

“Coocoocooo ...

Ye Anyu's stomach was rumbling. He opened the food delivery app and browsed around, but there was nothing he wanted to eat. He decided to just cook something himself.

In fact, their family has a dedicated chef, and Lu Mingzhou also gave her the chef's phone number, but Ye Anyu has never asked the chef to come, partly because she was not used to it, and partly because she thought it was troublesome.

She can cook, and although she is not as good as a chef, it is definitely not a problem for her to fill her stomach.

Thinking of this, Ye Anyu walked to the refrigerator, opened it and took a look. There were some fruits and some vegetables inside, which should have been bought by Lu Mingzhou.

Ye Anyu took out an egg and some vegetables and prepared to make some vegetable and egg noodles.

Just as Ye Anyu cracked the egg, he heard the sound of the door opening. Ye Anyu looked up and saw that it was Lu Mingzhou. Could it be that Lu Mingzhou forgot to bring something?

When Lu Mingzhou approached, Ye Anyu discovered that he was holding something in his arms - a flowerpot, exactly the same as the broken one.

Ye Anyu looked at Lu Mingzhou in surprise, only to see Lu Mingzhou walking to the balcony with a flowerpot in his arms. Ye Anyu followed him in confusion.

Lu Mingzhou took out something from the corner of the balcony. It was the green plant that was broken yesterday.

It turned out that Lu Mingzhou didn't lose it.

Lu Mingzhou placed the flowerpot on the ground, poured in soil, dug a hole in the middle of the flowerpot, then picked up the green plant and planted it in, covered it with soil, pressed it tightly, and watered it. Although he was not skilled at it, the whole process was smooth.

"You... went to buy a flower pot?" Ye Anyu asked knowingly.

The man squatting on the ground didn't look up, but just murmured "hmm".

The broken flowerpot was bought by Ye Anyu accidentally while shopping. Was Lu Mingzhou buying an identical flowerpot intentional or unintentional?

"The flowerpot was bought by Xiao Li." Lu Mingzhou's words gave Ye Anyu the answer.

It turns out he didn't buy it.

Xiao Li, who had just delivered the flowerpot, looked at his boss's back in confusion. Last night, when he was having supper, he received a message from his boss, asking him to buy a flowerpot exactly the same as the one in the picture today.

Seeing that the style of the flowerpot was not ordinary, Xiao Li went to the market to buy it early in the morning, but he couldn't find the same one after looking around.

At that time, Xiao Li sent the following message: [Mr. Lu, I couldn’t find it. Could you take a look at this?]

【Look again.】

Since the reward given by Mr. Lu was so generous, Xiao Li went to another place without hesitation. Fortunately, he worked hard and finally saw an identical one in a private pottery shop.

As soon as Xiao Li bought the item, Mr. Lu asked him to deliver it to his home immediately, seeming to be very impatient.

Xiao Li didn't understand why a flower pot could be so impatient, but he didn't ask, after all, it was the boss's business.

The greenery was replanted and looked exactly the same as before.

Ye Anyu was in a good mood. Even though this flowerpot was not specially bought by Lu Mingzhou, he did not throw away this green plant. Now it was placed on the balcony intact, which made Ye Anyu very happy.

Ye Anyu felt that he should say something, "I'm going to cook some noodles, do you want some?"

Lu Mingzhou paused.

I shouldn't have asked him this question. He must have just been back for a while and would be leaving soon.

Just when Ye Anyu thought Lu Mingzhou was going to reject her, a voice came into her ears.

"Um."

"What did you say?" Ye Anyu asked in surprise.

"Aren't you going to cook noodles?" Lu Mingzhou stood up and asked Ye Anyu.

"right."

Ye Anyu didn't know how much Lu Mingzhou ate. She looked up and glanced at Lu Mingzhou who was still standing on the balcony. Lu Mingzhou was very tall, and he went to the gym every day, so he looked tall, straight, strong and powerful.

He should eat a lot. Thinking of this, Ye Anyu grabbed another handful of noodles and put them into the pot.

By the time the noodles are cooked, the pot is full.

I should be able to finish it. Ye Anyu took out a bowl, picked out the food he wanted to eat first, and poured the rest into a big bowl.

Lu Mingzhou walked to the kitchen, his footsteps echoing in the silence. He stared at the bowl of noodles with a frown, as if thinking about something.

Ye Anyu was upset by Lu Mingzhou's gaze, and her breathing accelerated unconsciously. Could it be that Lu Mingzhou didn't like the noodles she made? Ye Anyu hurriedly explained: "Actually, my cooking skills are pretty good."

Finally, he added: "Although not as good as Aunt Liu, it's really okay."

Hearing this, Lu Mingzhou raised his eyelids, glanced at Ye Anyu, picked up the big bowl of noodles and walked to the dining table.

Lu Mingzhou pulled out a chair, but did not sit down. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Ye Anyu.

What does that mean? Is he asking her to come over and have dinner together? After understanding Lu Mingzhou's meaning, Ye Anyu picked up the noodles and quickly walked to the dining table, sitting on the chair that Lu Mingzhou pulled out.

Although Lu Mingzhou is serious and decisive in his work, he is indeed a polite gentleman. This is the evaluation Ye Anyu has given him in the past three years.

Judging from outside comments, she looks pretty good. Thinking of the compliments from colleagues, her figure seems to be okay too. Lu Mingzhou has been living with her under the same roof for three years, but he has never done anything that makes her feel embarrassed.

People always say that men are animals with lower bodies. Ye Anyu thinks Lu Mingzhou should be excluded. It seems that Lu Mingzhou has never lost control because of a woman. In his eyes, there is only career, and nothing else seems to be important.

Lu Mingzhou ate like he did his work, simply and quickly. Ye Anyu had just finished half of her small bowl of noodles when Lu Mingzhou's big bowl was already empty.

After Lu Mingzhou finished eating, he did not leave but continued to sit opposite Ye Anyu. Although Ye Anyu knew that this was just table etiquette, his heart still beat faster, his breathing became rapid, and he accidentally choked.

Hearing Ye Anyu coughing, Lu Mingzhou frowned slightly, stared at the noodles in Ye Anyu's hand for a few seconds, and then said, "The noodles are delicious, thank you." After saying this, he took the bowl and went to the kitchen.

Perhaps because it was the first time he had dinner with Lu Mingzhou, Ye Anyu always felt that Lu Mingzhou was very different today, and a little gentle.

The sound of running water entered Ye Anyu's ears. Ye Anyu looked up and saw Lu Mingzhou busy in the kitchen.

Washing dishes? Ye Anyu was a little surprised.

Ye Anyu quickly ate the noodles and soon the bowl was empty. She picked up the dinner in her hand and walked into the kitchen, standing beside Lu Mingzhou, waiting for him to finish before washing the dishes.

"Let me do it."
