"Oh, okay, I'll find someone to stop it right away. I almost had a heart attack just now... By the way, Sister Yinyin, why did you suddenly return to China without even notifying me?"
He pulled a chair for Su Yinyin to sit down: "Someone in your family wanted to lock me up abroad, but I escaped back."
"Huh?" Wei Qiancheng was startled by what Su Yinyin said. "Who? My uncle?"
Su Yinyin shook her head: "I don't know. You can check Yuan Que's social connections and see who his family has been in contact with in recent years. That will give you a rough idea."
Yuan Que was the spy sent by the Wei family to monitor Su Yinyin. Wei Qiancheng probably didn't know about this, but now Wei Hao was facing a crisis and had repeatedly hinted at her to return to China, but had been stopped by Yuan Que. So she felt that Yuan Que was most likely instigated by someone within the group.
"I won't talk to you anymore. It's too late and I have something to do tomorrow." She picked up her bag and walked out. It was dark and Wei Qiancheng was worried that it would be unsafe for her to go home alone.
"Don't you want to eat before you leave?"
"No."
He immediately stood up from his seat and opened the door for Su Yinyin: "Then I'll take you home. It's not safe for you to be alone so late."
When getting off the car, Wei Qiancheng took a look at their residential complex. "This community has been around for a few years, hasn't it? It doesn't look very big. Why don't you stay at my old house in Qiongjiang Garden? It's vacant and no one lives there. It's more spacious and safer than here."
Su Yinyin was not very picky about where to live, but this house seemed to represent some kind of obsession for her, and she was unwilling to leave even after three years.
People can move from one place to another, but memories cannot be moved. She cannot leave until she is sure whether she can create more memories with that person.
“I love living here.”
After she finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs. The news of Zhao Jing and Lu Jingxu's engagement did not spread across the Internet as she had expected. It was as if the grand engagement party yesterday had not been held. The news of their engagement only spread among a few families.
——
Su Yinyin took Lu Jingxu's words to heart and set an early alarm to get up. However, Lu Jingxu came earlier than she expected. Before seven o'clock, she heard a noise at the door.
She sat on the bed with sleepy eyes, trying to get out of bed in one go. Then her body woke up but her brain was not, and she stood there motionless like a paused movie.
There were sounds coming from the kitchen, and Su Yinyin knew that it must be Lu Jingxu making breakfast for her. It was still early anyway, so it should be okay to sleep a little longer.
She struggled internally for a moment, and finally fell down again.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Lu Jingxu opened the door and came in. As soon as he walked in, he saw Su Yinyin sleeping with her face buried in the pillow. He went over and hugged her and turned her over.
"You won't feel bored sleeping like this?"
She snorted when she saw Lu Jingxu come in, and took the opportunity to hug his neck and sit up, nestling in his arms.
"Sleep a little longer, I'm so sleepy."
"If you sleep any longer, I'll leave."
Su Yinyin woke up instantly and raised her eyelids with some dissatisfaction: "Just leave, didn't you just get here?"
That expression was like a pouting kitten. Lu Jingxu's heart moved, and he hooked her nose with his finger: "I have something else to do today, so I found an excuse to sneak out and see you for a while."
"Oh." She lowered her head and said she understood, but she was very dissatisfied in her heart. It was really hard to live like this, being controlled by others in every way and meeting Lu Jingxu was like having an affair.
"Get up and eat first."
Lu Jingxu brought her clothes and helped her put them on. She dragged her feet into the bathroom. When she came out, Lu Jingxu was squatting in the living room with his back to him.
She walked in puzzled and found a kitten in a cage in front of Lu Jingxu. Judging from its size, it should be an adult for a long time. It was a chubby silver tabby cat.
Lu Jingxu let it out. Although it was fat, its body was very flexible. It crawled out of the cage lightly, ran around the living room as if it had returned to its familiar territory, and then walked to Lu Jingxu's feet and rubbed against him.
"This is--"
"Three years ago, I was planning to give you the cat. Didn't you ask Liu Yue to help take care of it? So I took it back and kept it in this house. A few days before you came back, I took it away because I was afraid it would scare you."
The cat didn't seem to be afraid of Su Yinyin. When Su Yinyin squatted down to tease it, it curled up its tail and walked over.
Su Yinyin scratched its chin, and it squinted its eyes comfortably.
"Did you know that I would come back──" Su Yinyin suddenly realized something. Rather than saying that he knew I would come back, it would be better to say that all this was part of his plan.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I joined the drinking party with him right after I came back.
He also squatted down and stroked the cat's back, without answering Su Yinyin's question: "It seems to like you very much."
"What's your name?"
"etc."
"What?"
"His name is Wait, and he's a tomcat."
A subtle emotion flashed across Lu Jingxu's eyes. Wait...
Every time his name was called, it seemed as if he was being reminded to wait a little longer.
Wait a little longer.
"Wash your hands before eating." However, the next second, Lu Jingxu returned to his stern fatherly expression.
"oh."
After having breakfast together, Lu Jingxu was about to leave. When Su Yinyin helped him clean the cat hair on his body, her movements were extremely slow, as if if she moved any faster, he would leave earlier. She tried to use this to keep him longer.
This little thought naturally didn't escape Lu Jingxu's attention. He sneered, "At this rate, you'll be able to have lunch after you finish cleaning all this hair off my body."
Su Yinyin's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? You want to stay and eat lunch like this."
However, Lu Jingxu's response was naturally negative.
"All right."
He knew she was unhappy, and his mood also became low. When he left, he kissed her forehead and said, "Wait to accompany you when I'm not around."
Su Yinyin suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting what she said three years ago to push him away.
She had a hard time in the past three years. What about Lu Jingxu? He had to pretend to have amnesia in front of everyone and flatter people all day long. This has never been his character.
His pride and dignity were gone forever. He swallowed the bitterness of parting in his heart for many nights, and when he opened the door in the daytime, he put on the mask again.
In the past three years, perhaps only Deng Deng was the only one who knew that he had not forgotten.
