Chapter 110 Engagement Banquet



She lay in bed thinking about some random things. Maybe she didn't sleep well last night, so her head was dizzy and she fell asleep again soon.

When she woke up, it was noon. She planned to go out to find something to eat, but as soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food coming from the restaurant.

Lu Jingxu stood in the kitchen, wearing an apron. He glanced at Su Yinyin, who had just woken up and was still dazed. "Brush your teeth, wash your hands, and eat."

There were a few home-cooked dishes on the table, which were all the ones Su Yinyin used to make most often for Lu Jingxu.

Su Yinyin didn't know whether she should sit over there, but her feet seemed to have their own thoughts. She subconsciously went into the bathroom. When she came out, Lu Jingxu had already served the meal.

He was sitting at the table with his laptop open, seemingly waiting for him.

Just like countless ordinary days three years ago, the expression on Lu Jingxu's face was as if these three years had never existed and everything went on naturally.

But Su Yinyin found it hard to convince herself. She sat down at the table, looking at the brightly colored dishes on the table, feeling a little hesitant.

Is the food Lu Jingxu cooked… edible? She tried a piece of meat and put it in her mouth: Surprisingly—not bad.

He turned off the computer, propped up his head and looked at himself: "Are you okay?"

"Um."

After saying this, Lu Jingxu also picked up his chopsticks and finished the meal in silence.

Su Yinyin then realized that when she came back last night, there seemed to be ingredients on the table in the kitchen. After not being back for three years, the kitchen did not feel cold at all as if it had been deserted for a long time.

When she came back, the sheets and quilt were neatly placed on the bed. She originally thought that the housekeeping staff had helped her get them from the cabinet, but now she thought again, she had not asked them to make the bed at all, so why would they pay attention to these things.

The only possibility is that someone has been taking care of this house, and there is only one possibility for this person.

Although Zhao Xiaoxiao knew the password of her house and was entrusted to open the windows for ventilation from time to time, she got married and had children in the past three years, so there were bound to be some inconveniences.

Right now, Su Yinyin can still live a normal life here. There is no mold or rust in the house, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable. Probably... it's all because of the person in front of her.

If possible, Su Yinyin didn't want to think too much, at least for now.

After Lu Jingxu left in the afternoon, he never came back. Su Yinyin thought about it and opened the chat box between herself and Zhao Jing. The one she sent was an electronic invitation. Su Yinyin rummaged through the cabinet for a while and finally found a dress that she was satisfied with.

The next day when they arrived at the venue, Zhao Jing took Lu Jingxu's hand and greeted everyone in the crowd with a glass of wine.

She was obviously a little surprised when she saw herself, but the joy on her face quickly suppressed it. Zhao Jing quickly pulled Lu Jingxu over.

"Jingxu, let me introduce you. This is Su Yinyin, an excellent actress whom you knew before." Zhao Jing said and glanced at Lu Jingxu.

Lu Jingxu looked at Su Yinyin, his eyes expressionless, as if he really didn't know her. He nodded at her and said, "Hello."

"Yinyin, don't mind it. Jingxu doesn't remember anything since the car accident."

Su Yinyin understood clearly that Lu Jingxu was pretending to have amnesia. Could it be that... he also knew something?

"It's okay." Su Yinyin curled the corners of her lips and glanced at Lu Jingxu. Perhaps in Zhao Jing's eyes, that glance was filled with strong regret and begging for unrequited love.

Melodic music filled the air as Lu Jingxu and Zhao Jing walked towards the center of the venue. The ceremony was about to begin.

Zhao Jing and Lu Jingxu's parents both came to the scene. In addition, someone from the Sun family also came, but Sun Qingyan did not come.

It roughly fits Su Yinyin's guess.

Witnessed by everyone, the two exchanged engagement rings on the stage. Su Yinyin watched for a while and, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, prepared to find an empty room to sit down and rest.

Zhao Jing stared at Su Yinyin's back the whole time, and only when she saw her walk out did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at Lu Jingxu in front of her. Except for the memory of Su Yinyin, nothing had changed.

He was still the one that everyone was paying attention to, shining brightly under the starlight. Putting aside the system and settings, she would definitely try her best to get him.

──

The ceremony ended, the dinner began, and the music started. Su Yinyin came out of the bathroom and was suddenly hugged from behind. She was startled and was about to raise her leg to fight back, but someone covered her mouth.

A familiar smell rushed into my nostrils.

You don't need to look back to know whose smell it is.

He took Su Yinyin to a room next to the toilet, locked the door, and then hugged her and started kissing her.

It was probably a changing room, full of clutter, no windows, and nothing could be seen when the lights were turned off.

In the darkness, only the sound of breathing could be heard. Someone passed by and wanted to push the door in, but found that it was locked. Su Yinyin wanted to temporarily push away the person who was pressing on her, but he hugged her tighter.

In a very light tone, he whispered, "You don't want to be discovered, do you?"

In an instant, shame and a feeling of immorality rushed to her head. Su Yinyin lowered her head, buried it in his chest, and said nothing.

After everyone left, Lu Jingxu let her go, propped up the door with his arm, and held her in his arms.

"Everything I said today, every oath I swore, was false."

He looked at Su Yinyin's shadow in the darkness, and his fingers couldn't help but gently rub her cheek.

"I missed you so much."

Something gently plucked her heartstrings, and Su Yinyin wanted to say the same thing.

"Do you believe me?"

If he was still the Lu Jingxu from three years ago, Su Yinyin would have believed him without hesitation, but now there were too many mysteries surrounding him that made it difficult for her to see or touch him clearly.

"Today is the day you and Zhao Jing are getting engaged. Do you want to take a look at what you just did?"

Su Yinyin's remaining sanity told her that she should remind the person in front of her.

"Do you still have patience?"

He answered the question irrelevantly.

"What?" Su Yinyin didn't understand what he meant.

"If you still have patience, wait for me."

This was actually what Su Yinyin wanted to say to Lu Jingxu, but she didn't have the right to say it, and she didn't expect to hear it from Lu Jingxu first.

"Lu Jingxu, I can wait, but if you continue like this, there's no guarantee they won't find out."

Hearing the affirmative answer, he was obviously a little happier: "This is not your concern. Get up early tomorrow and I will send something to you."

"oh."

He stood up straight, finally allowing Su Yinyin to move freely. Just as she was about to open the door and go out, the bag around her waist was suddenly picked up.

He seemed to be probing for something with his fingers. When Su Yinyin turned around, he had already seized the stolen goods.
