Zhang Ruoshui sat upright to one side, her gaze like a fine net.
He scanned each of the people in the room one by one.
Her fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as she struggled internally.
Her gaze lingered on Lu Qingzhou, her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
He really wanted to tell his two daughters-in-law that Leng Yue was interested in him, but when he caught a glimpse of Su Qingyao out of the corner of his eye, he swallowed the words back down.
After all, given the close relationship between Leng Yue and Su Qingyao, no one knows what will happen once it's exposed.
Moreover, unlike Lin Yinuo, Leng Yue did not openly challenge her two daughters-in-law at this moment.
Bringing up this matter at such a delicate juncture is really inappropriate; what if it's just a misunderstanding?
She pondered to herself, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with conflict.
After much deliberation, she finally gave up.
I plan to talk to him about this privately when I get back.
Su Qingyao sat beside Lu Qingzhou, her slender fingers tightly holding Lu Qingzhou's broad hand.
She leaned slightly against him like a docile kitten, her soft voice carrying a hint of coquetry: "Then let's eat something, tidy up, and go back."
As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted toward the door, a barely perceptible hint of tension flashing in her eyes.
The thought of Lin Yinuo still lingering nearby made her heart feel like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, and she couldn't relax.
It felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Mu Shaohua shook her head inwardly at Su Qingyao's slightly nervous expression, but said nothing. Some things didn't need to be said; Su Qingyao would understand anyway. Explaining too much to someone so stubborn was pointless.
It's hopeless!
Lu Qingzhou gently stroked Su Qingyao's hair, a doting smile playing on his lips: "Then you two tidy up first, I'll go order some food and have it delivered!"
He got up, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Su Qingyao glanced quickly towards the door and exclaimed in confusion, "Huh, where did Leng Yue go?"
Lu Qingzhou was speechless when he heard this. When he saw Leng Yue earlier, he secretly guessed that she was a spy sent by Su Qingyao.
Seeing Su Qingyao feign ignorance, he couldn't help but think to himself, 'Didn't you send me out as a detective? Still playing dumb.'
But he just smiled nonchalantly, shrugged, and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm not really sure either, I wasn't paying attention just now."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the guesthouse, his steps hurried and without stopping at all.
......
at the same time,
After a brief, hushed conversation, Leng Yue and Lin Yinuo walked side by side toward the guesthouse courtyard. As they approached the courtyard, Leng Yue suddenly stopped, gently pulling Lin Yinuo's arm with a cautious expression: "You go first. If we stay together all the time, people will get suspicious."
Lin Yinuo rolled her eyes and said reproachfully, "It's like a spy rendezvous. Fine, you go in first, I'll go say hello to my aunt and the others."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yue raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with suspicion: "Your aunt? Who is she?"
Lin Yinuo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "You're the guesthouse owner. You guys go back first, I won't go with you."
After saying that, she ignored Leng Yue's questioning gaze, turned around, and left with light steps.
Leng Yue watched Lin Yinuo's departing figure, stood thoughtfully for a moment, and then walked towards the courtyard of the guesthouse.
When Su Qingyao saw Leng Yue return, she asked, "Yueyue, where have you been? Hurry up and eat something, then we'll pack up and go back in a bit."
Leng Yue glanced at Lu Qingzhou sitting next to her and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I took a walk behind the guesthouse, the scenery was quite nice."
Lu Qingzhou glanced at the two of them discreetly, inwardly amused. 'These two are putting on quite a show.'
He lowered his head, finished a fried dough stick in a few bites, then looked at Mu Shaohua and the others, saying in a calm tone, "You guys take your time eating, I'll go pay the bill."
Seeing this, Mu Shaohua seemed to remember something, and quickly stood up, reaching out to take his arm gently: "Wait a moment."
Lu Qingzhou turned around, her eyes full of inquiry: "What's wrong?"
Mu Shaohua smiled slightly, pulled him into the guesthouse room, took out a bank card from her exquisite bag, and handed it to him: "Your money has all been handed over. There is 1 million in this bank card. Take it first. How can a man not have some money on him?"
Lu Qingzhou felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he looked at the bank card Mu Shaohua handed him.
Ever since his mother asked him to hand over his salary, he only had a pitiful thousand yuan left.
Looking at this bank card, he felt a mix of emotions, a blend of gratitude and relief.
He reached out and gently pulled Mu Shaohua into his arms, his voice low and tender: "Thank you, my dear wife, but I don't really have any use for all this money."
How about this, I'll ask you for it when I need it, okay? If my mom and Qingyao find out, they'll nag me again.
When Mu Shaohua heard him say that, and thought that he would have to ask her for money in the future, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. This is how a family should be.
She wrapped her arms around Lu Qingzhou's neck and gently kissed him on the lips: "Alright then, I have some cash here, you can take it to pay the bill first. As for the thousand or so yuan in your pocket, you should keep it for yourself!"
Lu Qingzhou looked at the wad of cash Mu Shaohua handed him, and this time without hesitation, he took it and stuffed it into his pocket. "Then I'll go pay the bill first."
