Chapter 219 I can protect you
That morning, Luo Shu got up and ate braised noodles as promised.
She enjoyed the fragrant and spicy braised noodles and ate a little too much.
Aunt Xu wasn't home; she was tending to the flowers and plants in the backyard.
Luo Shu noticed large footprints left on some flour on the ground. These probably weren't Aunt Xu's, since Aunt Xu's shoes weren't that big.
But there are no other men in this villa besides Gan Chang'an. Gan Chang'an usually doesn't come in, and Butler Li even less so.
Just then, Aunt Xu returned.
She was wearing slippers, and her feet were still damp from the water that had just been poured on the plant.
"Aunt Xu, did anyone else come by this morning?" she asked.
"No, I'm all alone, what's wrong?" Aunt Xu's lips twitched, but she quickly regained her composure.
Yu Zhan left immediately after making the braised noodles this morning without lingering, so Luo Shu probably won't know.
Luo Shu glanced at her shoes, then at the footprints on the ground.
Aunt Xu hurriedly said, "I got up early this morning and wore the wrong shoes when I came back from buying groceries. I'm so sorry."
Is it okay to say this lie?
Luo Shu paused slightly, then nodded, showing no suspicion.
She's probably too sensitive; everything she sees reminds her of him, and if she's not careful, those thoughts will rush back all at once, and she can't quite describe the feeling.
Is it longing?
Is it sadness?
Or hatred?
It seems like they all have them.
It was as if, without him, Luo Shu felt a certain string missing from her heart.
bite-
A sudden text message interrupted her thoughts.
Aside from the monthly phone bill reminder, she seemed to have received no other serious messages. She couldn't help but pick up her phone and look at it, her expression immediately blank.
Come to this place alone to find me, and don't bring anyone else!
This is an unfamiliar number.
Luo Shu knew who it was without even thinking.
It must be Su Ting.
A few days ago, Shen Yan talked to her alone about this matter. He said that he couldn't find Su Ting and couldn't explain the matter clearly. He asked her to give him some time to think and not to rush into a decision.
Apart from this matter, Shen Yan didn't mention anything else.
But Luo Shu always felt that Shen Yan hadn't explained many details to her. Having known him for so many years, she could tell if Shen Yan was lying to her with just a glance.
Luo Shu didn't expose him, but she roughly knew what the situation was from her deduction.
They went into the room and took off their clothes, but only the two people involved know whether they actually did anything.
If they hadn't done it, Su Ting's invitation to her at this time was probably to show off or embellish the story to make it seem real.
At this moment, she definitely wanted to see Luo Shu angry, to see her furiously go to her, and then that would be exactly what she wanted.
If she had done so, Su Ting wouldn't have appeared so mysteriously; instead, she would have gone to the Yu family openly to demand a legitimate status.
Luo Shu sipped her milk, slowly pondering the matter in her mind.
Aunt Xu, standing to the side, frowned and patted her thigh.
Oh no! Are we about to be discovered?
She hurriedly called Yu Zhan.
After finishing breakfast, Luo Shu went to her studio.
These past few days, Ms. Hu has been coming here wearing their custom-made clothes, which has brought a lot of customers to the store.
They also offered many good suggestions during their design process.
Ye Fou stopped sending lunch and dinner. Aunt Xu delivered meals every day, so he didn't have a chance to do so.
He could only bring them afternoon tea when they were free, and occasionally he would come over to sit for a while when Gan Chang'an was not around.
"This position needs to be adjusted again."
As Luo Shu was designing the pattern, a fair and translucent finger appeared before her eyes.
She prided herself on not being the kind of person who was obsessed with hands, but when she saw this hand, Luo Shu's gaze paused for a moment.
These are hands that have never been used in the spring. They are smooth, delicate, and have very few calluses. They can be described as a perfect hand mask.
Beneath his fair skin were clearly visible blue veins, making him both sexy and deadly. If he were a girl, he would be an absolute enchantress!
But he is Ye Fou.
"Thank you." Luo Shu moved aside slightly, subtly increasing the distance between them.
Ye Fou could naturally see it.
"I've brought over some of your favorite dishes. Would you like to try them?" he asked.
Luo Shu didn't want to be alone with him upstairs, fearing it would cause gossip, "Okay."
She took off her apron, put it aside, and followed Ye Fou out.
He pressed the elevator button, and Luo Shu stood quietly beside him, occasionally glancing at her phone.
The building in the backyard originally only had stairs, which were added later when Luo Shu took over the renovation. She hated going up stairs more than anything in her life.
It was during this brief moment that she recalled the scene from last year when Yu Zhan climbed 16 floors to save her dog's life.
Yeah, I shouldn't be thinking about him.
Luo Shu frowned. What was she thinking about him for?
I wonder what he's doing now.
She stepped into the elevator, preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Ye Fou glanced at her sideways; her figure was stunning, accentuated by the simple, fitted dress.
It seems to have gotten quite a bit bigger.
"..." His Adam's apple bobbed, and he loosened his tie.
Luo Shu glanced at him slightly. The weather was indeed hot. Ye Fou was already sweating as soon as he stepped out of the room and away from the air conditioner.
"Teacher Hu has been in a pretty good mood lately," Luo Shu said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Yes, I can tell." His voice was magnetic, with a hint of hoarseness.
After a two-second silence, Ye Fou said, "Thank you. The doctor said my condition is good. Keep it up."
Continue to have her come over and chat with you.
He curled his lips into a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator indicator light flickered on and off.
She hurriedly held her stomach with one hand and the wall with the other, leaning back against the elevator wall in a panic.
Ye Fou reached out to block her, one hand bracing against the wall.
The elevator went completely dark in an instant.
"Ye Fou!"
"I am here!"
Luo Shu didn't move, but a sudden panic swept over her limbs and bones.
This elevator malfunction at this height is nothing to her, but she has a baby in her belly!
This is her first child, and she can't afford to make any mistakes!
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry!"
Ye Fou's voice lingered in front of her, filling the small space with his faint scent of cedar.
The crisp scent of cedarwood seemed exceptionally refreshing amidst his intense heat.
He kept comforting the woman in front of him, trying to calm her down.
"If you're scared, you can hug me," he murmured softly.
"..."
Luo Shu didn't move.
In the cramped space, one could almost clearly hear the pounding of her heart.
“I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just worried that if the elevator suddenly went down, you might drop the child.”
He calmly analyzed, "I can protect you."
Whether it's here or anywhere else.
Luo Shu's mind suddenly went blank.
These words sound ambiguous, but they also seem to make a lot of sense.
Ye Fou knew she was still reserved, so he didn't say anything and continued to protect her.
"ah!"
The elevator suddenly descended.
All I could hear was a rumbling sound.
Luo Shu's mind was filled with thoughts of this unborn child.
She suddenly remembered the scene from her dream a couple of days ago.
She held a soft little baby in her arms. The baby had delicate features and an angelic face. The baby's soft little hand hooked around Luo Shu's index finger and murmured softly.
Behind her was the man she couldn't bear to part with.
The man held her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, kissed her cheek affectionately, and then looked tenderly at the baby in her arms.
"Rou Rou, call me Daddy." The man's face beamed with a smile.
"How old is she? How could she possibly shout?" Luo Shu giggled, turning her head to look at the man behind her.
The man's passionate kiss landed, lingering in front of the little baby.
