Chapter 21 Holding Her
"Stay here for lunch, no need to go back." The calmer Yu Zhan was when he said this, the more flustered Luo Shu felt inside.
"I'll just take a nap at my desk. I'm worried about not being able to sleep in the right bed and disturbing your rest," she refused.
Yu Zhan didn't say anything, as always, without any expression.
She was afraid that she was normal. After all, she had just gotten married and didn't want others to know. If she slept here for a long time, it would inevitably reveal her flaws.
The lunch dishes were excellent; they were clearly prepared with care and didn't look like takeout.
"Was this done by the servants at home?" she broke the awkwardness.
"No," Yu Zhan paused, "My mom did it."
Luo Shu was so frightened that she swallowed a mouthful of rice.
"Your aunt told Mom and Dad about your early pregnancy test at the hospital." He spoke so calmly that Luo Shu couldn't detect any emotion on his face.
She panicked, but seeing his calm demeanor, she felt a chill run down her spine.
"Then about us getting our marriage certificate..."
"They all know that they'll take you back to meet them after they're done with this busy period."
"oh."
She forgot that he had a family, unlike herself, who could feed the whole family with just one person's food.
Soon after dinner, Yu Zhan started to clean up, and also didn't let her do it.
"Then, I'll go down." She pursed her lips, wanting nothing more than to escape.
Being alone with the other person felt suffocating to her; her heart inexplicably raced, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Wait a moment." Yu Zhan walked to the desk and Luo Shu followed him.
"Give me your phone." He sat down and reached out to her for the phone.
"Um?"
She was stunned for two seconds, but had to hand him the phone.
I opened my phone and started doing a series of actions.
"I've linked my WeChat Pay account to my WeChat account, so I can buy whatever I want whenever I want."
He had just finished speaking when he saw her note about him: Vampire Boss.
He smiled and changed the contact name to "husband," and even changed the phone number to "husband."
Luo Shu's eyes were vague, she didn't dare to look, and her palms were covered with cold sweat.
"I'm not very good at charming girls. If I do anything wrong, please tell me and I can change."
After completing the operation, he handed the phone back to Luo Shu.
"Okay." She nodded.
It's clear he's not very good at charming girls.
After finally walking out of the CEO's office, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
——
After get off work in the afternoon, Luo Shu drove to the mall to buy a few sets of winter clothes and some warm clothes.
There aren't many new winter clothes this season, so there aren't many choices. You can only pick something warm.
But I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in the mall.
"Shu'er!" The woman greeted her.
"Miss Zhou!"
Zhou Zhiyi is a university professor and a close friend of Luo Shu's mother.
Miss Zhou was called together with Luo Qiu, and she could be considered as Luo Shu's old best friend.
It is said that Luo Shu's calligraphy was taught by Zhou Zhiyi.
She was dressed casually, but it couldn't hide her temperament. Her every move and gesture exuded the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
"You're shopping too?" they both asked in unison.
I heard that she has been living in City A, but I didn't expect to meet her here.
"I came to get some clothes for my son. He's a troublemaker. I'm busy with work and I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I came out to see if there's anything I want to buy."
Zhou Zhiyi looked Luo Shu up and down and said, "She's really pretty!"
Luo Shu felt embarrassed by the compliment and quickly grabbed her arm to pull her along for the walk.
"It's rare to meet someone I know. I also want to buy some clothes. Can you give me some advice?!"
"Okay! And by the way, help my son pick something out too. You young people should all have similar tastes."
They spent two or three hours browsing in the mall.
"Have you eaten yet? Why don't you eat at Auntie's?"
The two of them were carrying large and small bags and sitting on a bench in the mall, drinking milk tea and taking a rest.
"No, Miss Zhou, I have to rush back; I still have some things to prepare."
She momentarily forgot that Yu Zhan had said he would go home for dinner today, and it was already past eight o'clock. She wondered if he would wait for her to eat, or if she would eat first.
"Okay, I have something to do later, let's make an appointment next time!"
"Okay, Miss Zhou." She hugged Zhou Zhiyi lovingly.
The two said goodbye in haste.
When she got in the car, she turned on her cell phone and found that her "husband" had called her and sent her a message on WeChat.
When will you be back?
She was startled and quickly called him back. [Sorry, I just ran into an acquaintance at the mall and chatted for a while.]
"It's nothing. When are you coming back?"
I'm heading home now; it'll take about ten minutes.
【Wait for you. 】
【good. 】
Suddenly there was one more person, and it felt a bit strange. I felt a kind of indescribable fondness for being urged to go home.
For some reason, her earrings turned red.
The car started and drove towards the apartment.
Along the way, she passed by a vendor's stall and couldn't resist stopping by the roadside to buy a bunch of tulips.
The car stopped in the garage and she got out holding Tulip with a smile on her face.
"I'm back." Yu Zhan's voice.
"!!" Luo Shu was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
A slightly awkward silence filled the air. Luo Shu quickly composed herself, closed the car door, and walked towards him.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"Wait for you."
His gaze fell on the tulips in her arms.
Luo Shu felt a little unsettled, unsure how to respond to this.
"Flowers, for you." Her ears felt hot as she handed the flowers to him carefully, not knowing whether he would take them.
Yu Zhan looked at her, then at the flower, slowly reached out his hand and took it. His hot big hand accidentally touched her slender little hand, and instantly a strong electric current hit them.
"Thank you." You could see a hint of joy on his face; you wouldn't really notice it unless you looked closely.
Luo Shu pursed her lips. Why send flowers of all things? What's wrong with her? She seemed a little reluctant and quickly withdrew her hand.
Just when it was awkward, Yu Zhan approached her, stretched out his hand, and hugged Luo Shu in his arms.
The hand holding the flower was wrapped around her slender waist, and the other hand was around her shoulders.
"!!" Luo Shu was startled, her small hands hanging in mid-air, her body stiff, and the overwhelming sandalwood fragrance enveloped her.
He was so hot that I could feel his burning chest even through the thin shirt.
She didn't dare to breathe, her heart was pounding nervously, and her whole body felt like an electric current was running through it.
Should I reach out and hug him?
Luo Shu was conflicted, her forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat.
The hug was fairly gentlemanly, though not particularly intimate, but it was enough to send her into a state of turmoil.
She swallowed, and finally stretched out her little hands to hug his thick back muscles.
After a long while, the two slowly let go of each other's hands. Luo Shu looked flustered, unsure of where to look, while Yu Zhan calmly kept watching her.
"Have you eaten?" Luo Shu suddenly remembered.
"No, I'll wait for you."
Uh, this is so embarrassing.
"I'm sorry, I forgot..."
She forgot—forgot that she wasn't alone, forgot that she was already married.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it."
"Um."
After a brief conversation, Luo Shu went to the trunk and picked up the clothes she had bought that day.
Yu Zhan handed the flowers to her without saying a word, then took the bag from her hand and walked into the hall.
