"Yes, there is something." Lu Yunze responded immediately, and his gentle voice was actually a little nervous.

"Please speak, Mr. Lu." Ye Chu was calm as usual.

"Zhang Hao just told me that he found a suspicious person who might cause trouble to Miss Ye."

Ye Chu was sure in his heart and knew who Lu Yunze was talking about.

Lu Yunze said again: "Earlier, Qingyu let it slip, and I knew why Fang Mengqing was determined to break off the engagement. Later, I sent Zhang Hao to track down the man that Qingyu mentioned, and found out..."

Lu Yunze slowly told everything about Zheng Yi, and he almost investigated Zheng Yi's ancestors for eighteen generations.

This Zheng Yi, born in poverty, is a real gangster. He came to the capital ten years ago and has been pretending to be a rich second-generation to deceive rich women. Within a few years, he lived a comfortable life relying on the money he cheated from women.

Until he met Fang Mengqing five years ago...

"This Fang Mengqing is really fascinated by Xiao Beichen, and he has even reached the point where his double is obsessed with him."

After listening to Lu Yunze's detailed account, Ye Chu couldn't help but sympathize with Fang Mengqing's humbleness and said with a sigh.

Can loving someone really make you lose your mind?

Lu Yunze showed no emotion at all, and said seriously: "According to Zhang Hao's investigation and analysis, Zheng Yi is very likely to have returned to the imperial capital to seek revenge on Fang Mengqing. I was still worried..."

"Zheng Yi has already found me." Ye Chu smiled.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yunze immediately asked nervously, and then a hint of coldness appeared in his tone, "I didn't expect Zheng Yi to act so quickly. Zhang Hao has arranged people to start looking for him these two days!"

Lu Yunze's concern warmed Ye Chu's heart, and he felt even more sorry that he had to keep a distance from Lu Yunze because of his emotional choice.

Ye Chu asked, "Mr. Lu, are you planning to send someone to protect me secretly?"

"... Sorry, I do have this idea, but I know you don't like it, so I actually want to ask for your opinion today. If you agree, I will arrange for bodyguards to watch you."

"Thank you."

"..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Zheng Yi came to me today and I subdued him. Mr. Lu should know that I am well trained and Zheng Yi alone can't do anything to me."

Lu Yunze sighed and said, "We have to be on guard against desperate criminals."

Ye Chu smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I will be careful in the future."

Lu Yunze was silent for a moment, and then said, "I heard that you are pregnant?"

Ye Chu smiled helplessly. Although she didn't want to be watched so clearly, Lu Yunze seemed to have never stopped paying attention to her...

Ye Chu said softly, "Yeah."

Lu Yunze was silent for a long time again, and there was an almost inaudible sense of loss in his gentle and unchanging tone. "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Having said that, it's time to hang up the phone.

But Lu Yunze had no intention of ending the call.

Ye Chu felt extremely awkward and was about to say goodbye when Lu Yunze spoke.

His gentle tone was filled with an obvious request: "Can you...can we not be so polite in the future?"

Ye Chu was puzzled: "Polite?"

"For example, you don't have to be polite to call me Mr. Lu anymore, can you call me Yunze? And I won't be polite either, can I just call you Ye Chu?"

Ye Chu paused for a moment.

"Can you please stop avoiding me deliberately? We can't be lovers, but we can still be friends, okay?"

Lu Yunze had probably never asked anyone like this since he was born.

Ye Chu couldn't help but feel depressed and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Lu Yunze noticed Ye Chu's embarrassment, sighed silently, and blamed himself for making her upset.

Lu Yunze regained his perfect gentleness, and his relaxed tone was flawless: "Sorry, I upset you. You are pregnant now, I shouldn't bother you. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."

"Mr. Lu, you can call me Ye Chu." Ye Chu smiled, and then said, "But I'm used to calling you Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu is also a nice name, I don't want to change it."

The corners of Lu Yunze's mouth were raised.

However, Ye Chu murmured again: "The most important thing is that Xiao Beichen will definitely get angry when he hears me call you Yunze."

The corners of Mr. Lu's mouth twitched violently.
