Chapter 74 The way to coax a woman is too expensive
If it was a warm spring breeze the previous second, then in this second it became a cold wave from Siberia.
She turned her head subconsciously.
Lu Tingzhou's expression, which had been gentle at first, had now become gloomy.
The hand holding the spoon also stopped stirring.
Those deep eyes, the emotions are unclear.
Sang Wan was just wondering when Lu Tingzhou slowly said, "Not for sale."
The voice was not loud, but it was firm and resolute.
Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment and wanted to persuade him again, "But that house..."
"Uncle, I never intended to sell it."
Lu Tingzhou interrupted him directly, and the displeasure in his eyes made Zhou Ming swallow the rest of his words.
The old lady noticed his emotional fluctuations and winked at her son secretly, "If Tingzhou doesn't want to sell it, then don't sell it. He doesn't need that little money."
Zhou Ming thought that if he didn't live there, he would have to have people do regular maintenance and cleaning, which would be a waste.
But seeing that he was unwilling to sell it, I didn't mention it again.
Sang Wan lowered his head silently and drank the porridge in small sips, but his heart was not at peace.
Catalpa Garden?
What place is that?
Why is it that just by mentioning it, this expressionless man could reveal his emotions?
***
On the way back to the hotel, the car was extremely quiet.
Sang Wan secretly glanced at him several times, but the man just leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested, his handsome face calm.
She knew he was pretending to be asleep.
It made her even more curious about that place, that forbidden area that could affect his emotions.
Sang Wan looked at him several times and couldn't help but speak softly.
"Lu Tingzhou," she asked tentatively, "Ziyuan...what kind of place is it?"
The man's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't open them.
"A place where I used to live." He answered lightly, stating a very ordinary fact.
Sang Wan didn't believe it.
If it was just a place he had lived in, why would he rather stay in a hotel than go back?
I would rather leave it vacant than sell it.
There must be a story behind this.
Suddenly, Shen Yubai’s words flashed through her mind.
"It is said that he once had a woman."
My heart felt like it was pricked by a thin needle.
It doesn't hurt, but it feels densely sour.
Sang Wan couldn't help but think of their first time.
His powerful kiss, his skilled teasing, and the intense desire that almost swallowed her...
How could a man who is so strong and demanding in love affairs really be as pure and unattached to women as rumored by the outside world?
She clenched her fingers, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"Lu Tingzhou."
She called out again, and this time, her voice carried a hint of stubbornness that she herself didn't even notice.
The man finally slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her.
"Um?"
"Have you ever had other women before?"
She asked directly and abruptly, like a little girl making a fuss.
After asking, I regretted it.
He had told her before that he would not pursue the matter and would not waste time on internal turmoil, but now seeing that he was still unable to let go of the past, she had to admit that she felt jealous.
Lu Tingzhou looked at her with deep eyes.
Sang Wan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, but she forced herself to add a sentence in a teasing tone.
"You...you're so experienced in that area...it's impossible that you haven't had that experience before, right?"
She said, turning her face away and not looking at her.
A complex and indistinguishable emotion flashed in Lu Tingzhou's eyes, including helplessness and heartache.
Catalpa Garden.
There are stored all the memories that he dare not touch.
He didn't dare go back, let alone take her back.
Because every corner there was filled with her shadow, as well as the past between him and her that he thought he would lose forever.
How should he tell her that the so-called "other woman" was actually herself?
His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, but he finally chose to lie.
"Um."
"There was one."
Sang Wan's heart sank suddenly, as if falling into the cold deep sea.
really.
She bit her lower lip, forced back the bitterness in her eyes, and made her voice as calm as possible.
"Then...why did you break up?"
Lu Tingzhou looked away and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, as if he was lost in distant memories.
"She's young and prone to bad temper."
"At that time, the company was just starting to take off and I was very busy. I didn't have much time to consider her feelings."
"Later, we broke up."
She caught the hint of nostalgia and helplessness in his tone.
Sang Wan understood instantly.
Maybe he hasn't let it go completely.
Ziyuan was probably reserved for that woman.
The woman he didn't have time for, who he felt guilty about, and who he still couldn't forget.
Sang Wan suddenly felt a little pathetic. That night she was afraid that he would misunderstand that it was not her first time. Now she thought that he was the unclean one.
From body to mind.
She stopped talking, turned her head silently, and pressed her face against the cold car window.
The scenery outside the window gradually became blurred in my eyes.
Until the car stopped at the door of the hotel outside the film and television city, she didn't look at the man next to her again.
Lu Tingzhou knew that the little woman beside him was angry, so he hugged her in his arms and said, "It's all in the past. Why are you jealous?"
Sang Wan ignored him. If it was really over, why would he keep the house?
It was already dark when they returned to the film and television city. After dinner, Lu Tingzhou had a meeting in the study.
After the meeting, I went to the bedroom to rest and found that the little fox had locked the door.
He bit his lip and paced at the door. He was really angry. How could he explain this?
If I tell her, will she remember the child?
This is something Lu Tingzhou doesn't want to see.
Now he could only coax her, so he called the little fox.
The cell phone kept ringing stubbornly in the bedroom, and each ring seemed to last a long time.
Finally, at the last second before the ringing was about to automatically hang up, the call was connected.
There was a slight sound of rubbing fabric in the receiver, followed by dead silence.
Lu Tingzhou put the phone closer and coaxed her softly, "Wan Baoer, open the door for me."
"I have to go back to Shencheng early tomorrow morning."
"I won't be able to see you for several days." He paused, his tone softening, "Are you willing to do that?"
The question was almost a rogue one. If it had happened under normal circumstances, she would have softened her heart long ago.
But tonight, the heart soaked in bitterness and grievance is unusually hard.
"What am I reluctant to give up?"
She chuckled, and her laughter was full of undisguised sarcasm.
"The one who's reluctant to let go is Mr. Lu, right?"
Lu Tingzhou's breath was choked.
He knew she was being sarcastic.
"Wanwan, I..."
"beep--"
She hung up the phone decisively.
The man's tall figure looked a bit desolate under the dim light of the corridor.
He leaned against the cold door, raised his hand, and rubbed his eyebrows irritably.
The little fox's claws appeared again.
Quite sharp.
***
The next day, Sang Wan got up very early.
She looked in the mirror and put on a delicate yet distant makeup, perfectly covering the dark circles under her eyes.
When she appeared on the set of "The Storm" in a dashing outfit, the entire set was silent for a moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
That look was extremely complicated.
There was wonder, awe, and a hint of incredulous inquiry.
The genius designer JC turned out to be the heroine of their crew.
A woman who combines talent and beauty is stunning in every way.
"Sister Sang Wan, I didn't expect you to be a fashion designer." A girl on the set couldn't help but bravely ran over to ask.
Sang Wan nodded calmly, "I majored in fashion design when I was in school, and became a performer later."
"Oh my god! I love your "First Dawn" so much. If it can be released, I must buy one."
"Thank you." Sang Wan's smile was appropriate, but with a sense of distance. "You are so petite, you will look good in a cheongsam."
Not far away, Xiao Yan, who had just finished hanging on the wire and was helped to sit down, had a pair of clear eyes filled with admiration.
He always thought that Sang Wan was just a delicate little flower who was well protected.
But I didn’t expect that he is not only an actor with superb acting skills, but also a talented designer.
This realization made him appreciate Sang Wan even more.
"Sang Wan." He smiled and waved at her, "That's amazing!"
Xiao Yan's smile was clean and pure, like the sunshine after the rain, making Sang Wan feel warm.
At this time, a figure walked over. It was Liu Xi.
She has been visiting the set frequently recently, and the way she looks at Sang Wan has completely changed.
"Sang Wan," Liu Xi said with an unnatural expression, "Before at the airport... I'm sorry, I was petty."
She knew that Sang Wan was the apple of Lu Tingzhou's eye, and she also knew that Xiao Yan's feelings for her were not what she thought.
"Teacher Liu, you're too polite. If it were me, I would be jealous too."
Sang Wan thought that she was still competing with the woman in Lu Tingzhou's heart.
The atmosphere of the entire crew was joyful, and they not only appreciated but also respected Sang Wan.
Of course, except Song Ziqian.
She and Sun Qian stood not far away, staring at Sang Wan who was surrounded by the crowd with unwilling eyes.
That look seemed to want to shoot several bloody holes in her body.
My sister's embarrassment, Lu Tingzhou's warning, and the media's reversal of tone...
All this is because of Sang Wan.
Especially last night, her sister cried and told her that Lu Tingzhou had confronted her and warned her not to touch Sang Wan again.
That man would really do anything for Sang Wan.
What's so good about that bitch Sang Wan?
Of course she knew that she couldn't confront him head-on now.
They have already lost the initiative and can no longer act impulsively.
***
Shenzhen, the top floor office of Lu Group.
Lu Tingzhou sat behind his desk with a stern expression and a frighteningly low aura.
Lin Hao stood opposite him, even breathing lightly.
"Check if there are any jewelry exhibitions or auctions soon." Lu Tingzhou's voice was emotionless.
Lin Hao immediately replied, "I'll check it out right away."
Lu Tingzhou tapped his fingers lightly on the table and added, "Buy all the pink diamond and colored diamond series."
Lin Hao was stunned. "All?"
"No matter the price."
“…” Lin Hao held his breath instantly.
Is this... the little ancestor angry?
The boss's way of coaxing women is too...expensive.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
"Also," Lu Tingzhou paused holding the pen, "how's the investigation going on with the Sang family?"
