"Your agent said you have an announcement this afternoon and will come pick you up later."
Lu Jingxu sat down opposite Su Yinyin and paused holding his breakfast when he heard this.
"She called you?"
Su Yinyin nodded, completely unaware of the ripples in Lu Jingxu's eyes. He lowered his head, took two bites, and then asked, "Did she say anything else to you?"
She tried hard to recall the content of the phone call she had just received while dazed in bed: "It seems... not."
Lu Jingxu stared at Su Yinyin with some nervous eyes, until he heard Su Yinyin say no, his stiff body finally relaxed a little.
Su Yinyin was puzzled as to why Lu Jingxu asked such a question without any context. She looked up and asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, let's eat."
Lu Jingxu lowered his eyes, his expression naturally restrained.
Ever since she went abroad, she had never had breakfast with Lu Jingxu like this again. Thinking back to the last time, it seemed like a long time ago.
The Spring Festival passed in between, and she didn't have any special feelings about it. She just heard the sound of firecrackers outside when she was sleeping soundly, stopping and then starting again, and it continued muffled until dawn.
Liu Yue and Zhao Xiaoxiao wished her a Happy New Year and also gave her a red envelope as usual.
In her mind, the Chinese New Year is just a formality, and the special meaning of being with her family has no meaning to her.
She suddenly saw the person in front of her, and couldn't help wondering where Lu Jingxu was during the Chinese New Year. He should be reunited with his family. His family is happy and can provide him with extraordinary material and spiritual support. A child like this seems to be born to be loved.
But now, he was sitting in a small house of just over 100 square meters, eating a simple breakfast with himself.
"Lu Jingxu," she suddenly said. Lu Jingxu also looked up at him, his eyes filled with gentle questioning. The words Su Yinyin was about to say suddenly choked in her throat, so she looked away and said stubbornly, "Then remember to take your things with you later."
The stainless steel struck the disk, making a crisp clanking sound. His voice trembled as he said, "You still want to drive me away."
She resisted the urge to look at his face, pretending not to care: "I only agreed to let you stay for last night."
The surroundings suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence. Soon, Lu Jingxu slowly spoke, "I have nowhere to go."
"Don't be ridiculous. City S is so big, how could there be no place for you? Your heir to the Lu Group would have plenty of people rushing to invite you to their homes if he just moved his fingers..."
His usual calmness and composure seemed to be completely lost at this moment: "What about you? Why don't you want to?"
"Because I am not them," Su Yinyin's tone seemed to be filled with a layer of ice. Based on his experience of being abandoned since childhood, he knew that only by not placing his hope of salvation on others could he have a chance of being saved.
She also hates having her emotions manipulated by others. Someone once said that she was a monster with intimacy disorder. She lived among a group of normal people, using superficial flattery to bring herself closer to others and make herself seem less out of place.
To be honest, Su Yinyin herself felt that she was exaggerating, but her anxiety about gains and losses would probably cause endless pain to her partner, not to mention that there was Zhao Jing standing between her and Lu Jingxu.
"I'm sorry, thank you for your concern and care over the past few months. I think we should stop contacting each other privately."
After saying this, Su Yinyin felt her heart aching.
"Why do you suddenly say such things and suddenly want to kick me out, Su Yinyin, don't you have any feelings for me at all in these past few months?"
Su Yinyin lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
The doorbell rang for about a minute before Lu Jingxu, distracted, went to open it. It was his female assistant. She had initially greeted him politely, but upon seeing the expressions of the two people inside, she instantly understood what was going on. She raised her voice slightly, then lowered it, and said to Lu Jingxu, "Teacher Lu, we can go now, or we'll miss our flight."
Lu Jingxu lingered in the entrance for a while, then hesitantly walked over to Su Yinyin and held out his hand: "Give me the key to the house."
Su Yinyin didn't look at him, walked away silently, and put the dishes on the table into the kitchen.
Lu Jingxu was ignored and sat down in his seat angrily, which made the assistant outside anxious.
After a few minutes of stalemate, the two of them still showed no sign of breaking the ice, and she finally couldn't help but put on her shoes and came in.
"Sorry to bother you, Teacher Su. Teacher Lu has already promoted this event before. If they let the brand down again..."
"Let him go, I'm not stopping him."
The assistant was getting mad with anxiety, but the person involved was not in a hurry at all. Judging from his attitude, he probably wanted to spend the whole day with Su Yinyin.
"No, Mr. Su, our Mr. Lu usually takes care of you and helps you a lot. This time we are in urgent need, can't you help us?"
Su Yinyin was annoyed when she heard this. She thought that if she didn't give Lu Jingxu the key today, she would be an ungrateful person.
"That's interesting. This is my home. I have no obligation to hand over the keys to someone I don't know well. If something happens to me, will you take responsibility?"
The female assistant was about to speak when Lu Jingxu interrupted her: "Stop talking. Go out first and wait for me outside for five minutes."
Lu Jingxu was very executive. She knew that such words could not be resisted, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She nodded and walked out.
"Will you give it to me or not?" He said straight to the point without any nonsense.
"No."
"Have you thought it through?"
Su Yinyin sneered: "What do you mean by that? Who is begging whom?"
Lu Jingxu opened the photo album on his phone and showed Su Yinyin a photo. Su Yinyin felt a chill on her back. "What are you doing?"
"What?" His fingers tapped and swiped across the screen rapidly. After more than ten seconds, he opened the editing page of Weibo.
The text is very concise, with only four characters, [@苏茵音], and the accompanying picture shows the last time they were in the hotel, when she was drunk and pulled his sleeve and refused to let go.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll give it to you. If you dare to deny it, you'll be considered an irresponsible person who abandons her husband and has drunken sex."
Lu Jingxu told this series of lies without blinking an eye, and Su Yinyin once again had a deep understanding of his acting skills and lines.
Su Yinyin's mind was full of the photos just now, and she felt annoyed.
"Are you sick? Why are you taking pictures like this?"
"How dare you drag me past me and threaten to do something to me? Don't I even have the right to take a photo or record a voice to defend myself?"
Su Yinyin jumped up and tried to grab the phone, but Lu Jingxu easily avoided her.
"Give you ten more seconds, ten,"
"Nine"
"eight"
"seven"
