Chapter 47 Chapter 47 "Do you want to kiss?"
Of the three people, two of them went along with it, and the atmosphere at the table became joyful in the second half of the meal.
Only Lin Mo was silently worried. Would she have to rely on Lu Yanxiao to pick her up and drop her off at the alley entrance from now on? Not only would it be troublesome, but there was also the possibility of her colleagues not noticing. However, since Lu Qingye had just calmed down, she couldn't say anything else.
After dinner, Uncle Zhang supported Lu Qingye, and Lin Mo and Lu Yanxiao accompanied him. The four of them went for a walk by Qinzhou Lake together.
The weather in April is already a little warmer, and the crabapple blossoms by the lake are in full bloom. When the wind blows, the petals fall like snow, wrapped in a faint fragrance.
Lin Mo was playing with a fallen flower, and intuitively felt that someone was following her. She glanced sideways and happened to meet Lu Yanxiao's eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Mo asked in a low voice.
Lu Yanxiao's gaze fell on the right side of her hair.
"Is there something?" Lin Mo brushed it a few times with her hands, but nothing came down. "Here? Or here?"
Lu Yanxiao couldn't bear it any longer, so he motioned for her to come closer. Then, he plucked a crabapple blossom from her hair and gently placed it in her palm. It was a complete flower, its white petals tinged with pink, and its stamens slightly yellow, like a broken star standing upright.
"They are so beautiful. I'll give them both to you." Lin Mo stretched out her arms and generously handed both flowers to Lu Yanxiao.
Lu Yanxiao didn't understand the reason, but still obediently spread out his palms.
Lin Mo placed the flowers on top and said with a smile, "If you accept my flowers, you must listen to me."
Lu Yanxiao was stunned: "I need to hear what you are saying."
Although he seemed to be bargaining, Master Lu was very honest with his body. He walked half a step past the girl, raised his palms leisurely, and admired the flowers as he walked.
Lin Mo caught up with him, glanced at Lu Qingye, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa asked you to pick me up, and he can't monitor us every day, so..."
Lu Yanxiao didn't answer immediately. He glanced at her and returned the flowers and things to their original owner as if drawing a clear line.
"Oh, no?"
Lu Yanxiao pretended to be serious: "The old man might have spies in the company."
"Ah? All right then."
Lin Mo had to give up this idea, but she always felt something was wrong.
Before going back to her room to sleep at night, Lu Qingye asked her to stay in the living room, saying that he had something to tell her and asked Lu Yanxiao to go back first. While chatting with Lu Qingye, she gradually figured out what was wrong.
If Lu Qingye really had spies in the company, she had been assigned to Lu Corporation for two weeks, and the spies should have been able to see that she and Lu Yanxiao were "secretly married" in the company. However, Lu Qingye did not mention this matter at all today, which means that either Lu Qingye does not have any spies at all, or Lu Qingye knows about it but does not care.
Either way, it would be beneficial to her.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Mo simply told Lu Qingye about her secret marriage.
The result was exactly as she expected.
"Qingqing, you have thought it through very carefully. Grandpa supports you." Unlike the casual chatter during the meal, Lu Qingye was extremely serious when he said this, and he approved of her approach from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Mo finally felt relieved. After chatting with the old man, she couldn't wait to run upstairs to tell Lu Yanxiao the good news.
"land……"
Pushing open the bedroom door, Lin Mo swallowed the voice that was about to be uttered.
In front of his sight, Lu Yanxiao was leaning against the head of the bed, with a book spread on his legs and the pages pinched by his fingertips, but he was not reading. He just leaned his head on the cushion at the head of the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or resting.
His hair looked freshly dried after washing, hanging down to cover his brow bone. Unlike his usual strong aura, he looked unusually well-behaved at this moment.
Lin Mo tiptoed over and wanted to help him take the book away. However, the moment her fingertips touched the book, the man grabbed her wrist fiercely as if protecting his food, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at her sleepily but vigilantly.
"I saw you fell asleep, so I wanted to help you take the book away. It was quite heavy on your legs." She explained hurriedly.
Lu Yanxiao let go of his hand: "Sorry."
Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little soft, but his eyes quickly cleared up. The obedient look he had just had a few seconds ago disappeared, and he said teasingly with the corners of his lips curled, "I thought someone was plotting something bad against me."
“…”
Lin Mo was furious, "Judging others by one's own standards."
"Yesterday at the company, who hugged my arm? Who kissed me secretly...?"
"Ah, don't say that!" Lin Mo was nervous and quickly stretched out a hand to cover his mouth.
Lu Yanxiao did not stop her, letting her palm touch his lips, and cooperated by keeping his mouth shut. His peach blossom eyes were extremely wise, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised as if to say, "Look for yourself, isn't this plotting against me?"
Lin Mo was so annoyed that she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
"I'm going to take a shower." After saying this, he quickly slipped into the bathroom without waiting for Lu Yanxiao's reply.
But after closing the door and calming down for a while, she realized that she hadn't brought anything in. After taking a shower, she couldn't just walk out wrapped in a towel. She took a few deep breaths in front of the mirror, mentally prepared herself, and gently opened the bathroom door.
When she looked up, the man was lazily leaning against the wall next to her, handing her a bag of things in his hand: "Run so fast, I won't eat you for the second time."
"Who told you to talk nonsense?" Lin Mo grabbed the bag.
Through the transparent plastic bag, you can see the neatly folded clothes inside. The pajamas and pants are fine, with cute red strawberries dotted on the white base, but the bra and panties on top are lace, which is a bit sexy.
"Auntie Sun prepared it for you and it's all been cleaned." Lu Yanxiao explained.
Lin Mo pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you."
"My shower will take a long time, you go to sleep first." After saying that, Lin Mo walked into the bathroom and closed the door again.
Although she said "it will take a long time", she didn't dare to take too long in the shower. Last time, in order to wait for Lu Yanxiao to fall asleep, she deliberately delayed. As a result, that guy thought she had fainted from the shower and came to knock on the door. So this time, she used a normal speed, just hoping that Lu Yanxiao could fall asleep quickly to avoid embarrassment later.
About half an hour later, Lin Mo finished washing up, changed into pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.
Looking up at the bed, Lu Yanxiao not only did not fall asleep, but he was even more alert and stayed in the same state as before, but this time he was really reading a book.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Lin Mo asked.
Lu Yanxiao patted the bed and said, "Waiting for you to sleep together."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Lin Mo coughed a few times and forced a calm smile: "There's no need to pretend to do that again, right?"
She yawned and said lazily, "I'm so tired."
Lu Yanxiao's lips curled up into a wicked smile: "I'm not tired, I'm very energetic."
"You can do whatever you want, it's none of my business." Lin Mo was a little annoyed.
It's impossible for a normal couple to do that kind of thing every day, especially in a home with elderly people. Thinking of this, she deliberately stepped onto the bed from the side where Lu Yanxiao was, pretending to accidentally step on that person.
"Ugh—" Lu Yanxiao groaned and arched his body.
Lin Mo faked a smile and said, "Sorry, I didn't notice." Then she crawled to the inside of the bed.
"Murdering your own husband." Lu Yanxiao rolled his eyes at her, threw the book aside, and covered his ankle with his hands, making a slight hissing sound.
After all, it was done on purpose. Lin Mo knew that her kick was not strong enough, so she just thought he was bluffing and ignored him. But after a while, Lu Yanxiao was still covering that place, his brows were tightly furrowed, the veins on his forearms were bulging, and his eyes were abnormally red.
She was startled.
Did I really step too hard?
He carefully moved closer and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lu Yanxiao turned in a different direction, avoiding her sight, as if he was sulking.
Lin Mo's heart began to beat fast. Could it be that he had a broken bone?
"Do we need to go to the hospital?" She was really a little unsure, so she moved closer, wanting to see his ankle, but the man had covered his legs with a quilt. At this moment, he was probably angry and deliberately moved sideways to block her view, so she couldn't see anything at all.
Feeling anxious, she tugged at the quilt, but after two or three tugs, it didn't budge at all.
The quilt seemed to be pressed down hard on that end.
Lin Mo gradually realized that something was wrong. She rolled her eyes and pulled with all her strength. Unexpectedly, the head seemed to be fighting for it and pulled back with even greater force. She had no time to react. In an instant, her whole body and the quilt fell towards the man.
The next moment she lay on the man's lap.
The air was filled with ambiguity and seemed to be stagnant.
After a moment, Lin Mo raised her eyes with a red face. The man was looking down at her with a smile on his lips and a tone that was very aggressive: "You want to see it so much?"
I knew he was pretending.
Lin Mo was furious and punched him hard on the leg: "Whoever wants to see it is just being sentimental!"
After saying that, he lay back on his side angrily and turned to face the window.
There was silence behind him for a moment, and then there was a rustling sound.
Alarm bells suddenly rang in Lin Mo's mind. Unlike the last time they shared a bed in Changli, tonight's bedding must have been changed by Aunt Sun. There was only one quilt. If either of them made the slightest movement, they could easily touch the other. Under the quilt, Lin Mo folded her arms in front of her, carefully avoiding any movement, while vigilantly monitoring any movement behind her.
But after waiting for a long time, Lu Yanxiao did not lie down. He just moved slightly, turned off the ceiling light in the bedroom, and turned on the bedside table lamp.
Then, a man's voice sounded faintly: "What did Grandpa talk to you about just now?"
Lin Mo paused. Oh, she almost forgot. Before entering the bedroom, she wanted to tell Lu Yanxiao the "good news", but she forgot about it because of the interruption.
Lin Mo turned around and was about to speak, but Lu Yanxiao was sitting and she was lying down, so she needed to look up at him. This combination of postures was too ambiguous, and her neck was uncomfortable, so she simply sat up.
"Grandpa said that he was afraid I wouldn't dare tell the truth in front of you, so he deliberately sent you away and left me alone. He mainly wanted to know if you bullied me. If you did, he told me to tell him and he would deal with you."
Lu Yanxiao snorted: "This is biased."
"Oh, that's not the point. The point is, when I was chatting with grandpa, I suddenly figured out something."
She had a clear understanding of herself: she was extremely bad at persuading others outside of work, but she had just successfully persuaded Lu Qingye. Looking back now, she couldn't help but feel proud of her "small success." "I followed Grandpa's words and said, 'You didn't bully me, I bullied you.' Grandpa was curious about how I bullied you, so I told him about our secret marriage at the company."
The more Lu Yanxiao listened, the stiffer his expression became.
Lin Mo, however, was completely oblivious and continued speaking with great emotion, "I said I was assigned to Lu Corporation as the project manager representing Party A. In order to get along well with my colleagues at Lu Corporation, I kept our relationship a secret within the company for the time being. Grandpa was very understanding and said I was thoughtful and did the right thing."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, she noticed Lu Yanxiao's expression.
"What's wrong with you? Does your ankle still hurt?" she asked with concern.
Lu Yanxiao said calmly: "No, I'm listening."
Lin Mo felt relieved and continued to speak enthusiastically, "I took advantage of the situation and told Grandpa that since it was a secret marriage, we must both drive to work separately. Guess what? Grandpa took the initiative and said that it seemed that he had good intentions but had a bad end. He almost ruined my plan and told me to tell you that he would withdraw his order to you. From now on, you don't have to drive me to and from get off work. We should still drive our own cars."
Lin Mo giggled, "How is it, are you happy?"
“…”
happy? !
Mr. Lu was speechless. It seemed that all his secret efforts tonight were in vain.
The other party didn't respond. Lin Mo tilted her head and smiled innocently: "Look, you are so happy that you are stunned."
Lu Yanxiao was so angry that he almost laughed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'm happy. Very happy. Let's go to sleep."
He turned off the desk lamp with a snap, hiding his almost uncontrollable anger in the thick darkness.
Lin Mo was in a good mood and said to him contentedly, "Good night."
However, due to the sudden darkness, her eyes had not yet fully adapted and she could not see anything. Lin Mo groped her way to lie down and silently moved to the edge of the bed, trying her best to avoid unintentional contact between the two of them. But in the unfamiliar environment, she found it difficult to fall asleep as expected.
After about half an hour, my eyes had adjusted and I could see a faint light beyond the curtains.
She kept lying on her side, and after a long time, her body became a little stiff, so she wanted to change her posture, but she was afraid of waking up the person next to her, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Lu Yanxiao had a good sleeping habit, and he could maintain the same posture even when he fell asleep while sitting. He didn't move at all in the past half hour, so he must have fallen asleep.
Lin Mo moved her body gently and slowly turned to the other side.
After turning around, she found that Lu Yanxiao was facing her, so the two of them were sleeping face to face.
Through the dim light, one can roughly see the man's facial features, which are sharp and angular in the gray night, like a perfect work of art, and the faint woody scent on his body is somewhat bewitching at this moment.
As if out of control, she moved forward a little.
"Can't sleep?" a man's voice sounded.
Lin Mo froze guiltily: "Well, I'm a bit picky about my bed. Did I wake you up?"
"No, I didn't fall asleep either." It would be strange if I could fall asleep.
Lu Yanxiao slowly opened his eyes.
The two were so close to each other that they could even feel each other's slight breathing. They didn't speak anymore, but they didn't move either. They just stared at each other quietly in the dark night, neither hurried nor slow, immersed in it.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yanxiao suddenly approached again.
"What are you doing?" Lin Mo stepped back nervously.
Lu Yanxiao twitched the corner of his lips: "Do you want to relax for a while?"
Lin Mo groaned in confusion, but quickly realized that "relaxing" was just an excuse she made up to secretly kiss him in the dark room of the office that day. She didn't expect that he would use the same excuse to do the same thing now.
"Hmm? Do you want it?" Lu Yanxiao asked.
Lin Mo blushed and didn't know how to answer for a moment, because she was surprised to find that she was not opposed to it. On the contrary, the soft touch when they kissed her that day made her linger, and she even wanted it with every limb. But she couldn't take the initiative to speak about this matter.
Why did he ask? It's annoying.
"Answer me."
Lu Yanxiao didn't give up. His breathing became heavier as he spoke. "Do you want it?"
Lin Mo was torn between her conscience and her desires in her mind. In the dim light, she could see the man looking at her with burning eyes. She got excited and said "hmm", but then she felt a little regretful. This unclear and unjustifiable "desire" made her feel unlike herself. So, just when the man was about to get close to her, she put her hand on her lips.
The man's movements did not stop.
The passionate kiss fell directly on the back of her hand, soft, just like that day.
