Chapter 185 Reluctant to Part
Yu Zhan didn't touch her, but instead tidied her up and carried her downstairs.
Yu Zhan knew what she wanted to say and spoke first: "There's no one downstairs."
His voice was still hoarse.
He didn't like being disturbed when he was with Luo Shu. Luo Shu was shy and reserved, so when they were in the living room, people outside would keep their distance.
Luo Shu hummed in agreement and relaxed.
"How come you have so much free time these days?" she asked.
He's been spending more time at home than usual these past few days, especially today. He went to see her at noon and picked her up in the afternoon.
He didn't go to work during those few hours?
"I may be busy, but I still need to pamper my wife. It would be terrible if she were to be snatched away by someone else."
As he spoke, he pinched her slender waist.
"Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you." Luo Shu felt she shouldn't hide it from him, as it wouldn't be good if he misunderstood.
Yu Zhan gently placed her on the chair, served her her food, and listened attentively to what she had to say.
"Ye Fou's mother is my and Xiao Yu'er's teacher. She has cancer and doesn't have much time left. Ye Fou wants me and Xiao Yu'er to spend more time with her when we have time, and I agreed." She lowered her voice for the last sentence, afraid that he would be angry.
"I heard from Mom that she and Mom are also good friends?" Yu Zhan's face was calm, revealing no emotion.
"Hmm." Luo Shu observed his expression.
He put some food on Luo Shu's plate and said calmly, "It's fine for me to stay with his mother, but if I stay with him, I'll lose my temper, and I'll be very fierce."
Luo Shu smiled. How could he be so cute when he spoke?
“He saved me last time, and I didn’t have a chance to thank him. This time, I’m just returning the favor.”
Yu Zhan naturally understood this; he wasn't that inhuman, but he still had to be on guard.
Ye Fou's gaze towards Luo Shu was off from the very beginning.
He was thinking that if he hadn't registered his marriage with Luo Shu back then, Ye Fou might have taken his place by now.
Ye Fou is an exceptionally outstanding man.
No girl dislikes a witty and cultured man like Ye Fou.
However, this kind of man is too shrewd and calculating, making it difficult for others to truly see into his heart.
"Let me know when you're going," he said.
"Okay." Luo Shu knew that Yu Zhan didn't like Ye Fou.
Her decision not to tell Ye Fou about her marriage to Yu Zhan had already given Ye Fou the wrong impression.
Ye Fou felt that Luo Shu did not love Yu Zhan, otherwise she would not have chosen to keep their marriage a secret, so he was even more unwilling and wanted to pursue Luo Shu.
He had always been shy in pursuing Luo Shu, but now it seems that his shyness only drove Luo Shu further away.
Why did Luo Shu choose to keep her marriage a secret?
Luo Shu married a man she barely knew, and she didn't even know how long she could stay in the marriage. If it became public and they suddenly got divorced, she would become a huge joke.
Who is Yu Zhan? Yu Zhan is a man standing at the top of the tower, a flower on a high mountain, an existence that others can only look up to but cannot reach.
Luo Shu felt inferior.
She had wanted to wait until things settled down before making a decision, but it seemed that a secret marriage wasn't a good solution.
Yu Zhan always indulged her and let her have her way.
"Your cooking skills are getting better and better." Luo Shu ate the food he had prepared with great relish.
Yu Zhan smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" she asked.
"nothing."
The last time she praised his cooking skills, she said "his technique is good".
This time she didn't dare say that.
Luo Shu pouted, unable to fathom the man's thoughts.
"Aren't you going abroad at the end of the month? Have you decided on the specific dates?" Luo Shu put some food on his plate.
"We'll leave after Jin Zhinan and Gong Qingzui get married." Yu Zhan looked up.
Gong Qingzui was, after all, someone who had pursued Luo Shu. He wouldn't be satisfied until he saw that man walk down the aisle. Besides, they had already sent out invitations, so there was no reason not to go.
Most importantly, Ye Fou was also invited to participate, and it's unknown how he and Gong Qingzui met.
If he goes to the wedding, Yu Zhan has to go too.
"The schedule is changing, so it might take a little longer," he said.
Luo Shu felt a little sad; they had never been apart for this long before.
"How long is 'a little longer'?"
"At most a month." Yu Zhan reached out and pinched her cheek. "I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
"Why is it taking so long..." she murmured in complaint.
She already missed the business trip and was reluctant to leave even before it started.
For some reason, her eyes reddened.
Yu Zhan put down his chopsticks, cupped her face in his hands, and said, "Oh dear, are you about to cry?"
"No, I didn't." Luo Shu pulled his hand away.
"We've been saying we'd take wedding photos but we never got around to it. No matter how busy I am, I'll make time to be with you this time I'm back, okay?" Yu Zhan said with a hint of reluctance.
He really wanted to take her with him, but she had her own job, and besides, he had other things to do that he couldn't let her know.
He had no choice but to harden his heart.
"I understand..." Luo Shu felt very reluctant.
She's started clinging to him.
After dinner, Luo Shu and Yu Zhan went outside for a walk to digest their food.
Yu Zhan took her hand and walked in the small park near the villa.
They walked under the shade of the trees like a young couple on a date, attracting the attention of elderly people strolling around.
Yu Zhan rarely has time to spend with Luo Shu; he spends most of his time at the company.
Luo Shu never complained. Whenever they had time, Yu Zhan would do things with her that he considered romantic.
For example, right now.
They walked for more than half an hour, and by then it was already dark.
"I'll carry you back." Yu Zhan squatted down in front of her.
"No need, I can walk. My foot is almost healed."
Luo Shu hurriedly tried to pull him up, but he wouldn't get up.
There are other people around!
She was a little embarrassed.
They were already very familiar with each other, but they were even more familiar in bed than in real life. They really couldn't bring themselves to do such a thing in public.
"Will you go or not? If you don't, I'll just squat here and let people laugh at me. Please give me some face." He pleaded humbly.
Luo Shu gritted her teeth, leaned on his back, placed her hands on his shoulders, and buried her head in his neck.
Why isn't he ashamed?
With so many people around, it's quite awkward.
Yu Zhan felt a softness suddenly press against his back, blending into his broad back muscles, filling the space between them completely.
He patted her on the back with satisfaction, and Luo Shu was so frightened that she quickly hugged him tightly.
The summer night in May was still a bit chilly, but lying behind him, I couldn't feel any coolness at all.
His whole body was burning hot; his body temperature was always very high.
“You’ll have to get used to it,” he said with a smile.
He actually really liked this feeling; it was pleasant.
Spoiling her seems to be a very happy thing.
Luo Shu was used to living alone. Qin Heng didn't pamper her, didn't know how to love, and only knew how to talk.
Therefore, Yu Zhan felt somewhat reserved about her little schemes.
Yu Zhan turned his head and looked at the woman hiding in his neck like an ostrich, a smile spreading across his face.
"Ah Zhan, put me down." She murmured, her warm breath brushing against his neck and shoulders.
She was a little worried about Yu Zhan's leg.
"I just want to carry you on my back."
Yu Zhan's words left no room for argument; the temperature around his ears instantly rose, his Adam's apple bobbed naturally, and his heartbeat gradually quickened.
Luo Shu thought she could hear him breathing lightly, but she wouldn't be able to tell unless she listened carefully.
"Am I too heavy?" she asked.
"No..." His voice was low, as if he couldn't carry it anymore.
"Are your legs bothering you? Put me down, I can walk by myself." Luo Shu patted his shoulder.
"It's uncomfortable, but not my legs..." he chuckled.
He didn't even know at what point his desire was ignited.
Or perhaps it was the moment she lay down on him, or the moment she whispered in his ear.
Yu Zhan felt like he was going crazy, unable to control himself even when he was out in public.
"Where do you feel unwell?" Luo Shu asked, turning her head to look at him.
"I might need your help, honey..."
"..." Luo Shu seemed to suddenly understand something.
She buried her head even deeper.
Yu Zhan quickened his pace to get home.
