Chapter 146 Chapter 146 Love but not getting, seeking but not getting
It took a long time, so long that Li Mingzhu thought Jiang Yu would not answer her call, so long that she almost gave up, but the familiar, cold, and reassuring voice still rang in her ears.
"What's up?"
Suppressing the surging longing in her heart and the resentment of not being able to love, Li Mingzhu calmed her mind, closed her eyes tightly, and asked humbly, "Can I see you now?"
"cannot."
Hearing the man's rejection without hesitation, Li Mingzhu's emotions suddenly broke down.
Tears welled up in my eyes and flowed down my cheeks.
She suppressed her dissatisfaction and anger, gritted her teeth and asked, "Why not? Jiang Yu, why can't you see me?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice cold and sarcastic: "You know, I need to accompany Huanhuan."
Li Mingzhu suddenly laughed.
Yes! She should know that Jiang Yu wants to accompany Shen Qinghuan. She is not only his wife, but also the person he has always kept in his heart. But so what! She just wants him to leave Shen Qinghuan and accompany her.
"Jiang Yu, are you sure you don't want to come see me?"
"It's too late. Go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say."
The words were still indifferent, as if confirming that she dared not do anything and would not do anything.
Li Mingzhu lowered her eyes, and resentment suddenly burst out from them.
"Ayu, you know, I want to see you not for any other reason, but because I... I'm really feeling very uncomfortable. If you really don't want to see me, then I won't force you."
After a pause, she continued, "Ayu, do you still remember who caused my pain?"
"Yes! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and I shouldn't have pinned my hopes on you all the time."
"Ayu, if I call the police now, will they be able to find out what happened? She's your mother. I don't want to hurt her, and I've never thought about hurting her, but she..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu's face instantly turned gloomy, as if covered with a layer of terrifying frost.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly, "Li Mingzhu, are you trying to threaten me with what happened back then?"
Li Mingzhu said nothing and casually lit a cigarette for herself. The starlight between her fingers flickered, and gray-white smoke curled up, blurring her delicately made-up face.
After a while, she sneered at herself and said, "I haven't thought about it that way, but if you insist on thinking so, there's nothing I can do."
Jiang Yu frowned. "She was wrong in what happened back then. If she was arrested by the police, that's what she deserved."
"But that's not what you said back then!" Li Mingzhu took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled.
She leaned lazily against the backrest and said slowly: "Ayu, do you still remember what you said back then? You may have forgotten it, but I remember it very clearly. You hugged me at that time and said that you would treat me well for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life..."
Jiang Yu didn't want to argue with her any further, so he asked with a sullen face, "So, what do you want?"
Li Mingzhu: "I've already said it, I just want to see you! Ah Yu, I just want to see you. You owe me so much, can't you even fulfill this simple request?"
"Change it!"
"But I can't think of anything else for now. I just want to see you. If you don't want to see me, then forget it. Just stay at home with Shen Qinghuan and I won't bother you anymore."
End the call decisively.
Li Mingzhu threw away the cigarette between her fingers, started the car skillfully, and drove away quickly from the home that suffocated her.
At the same time, she called Tim's cell phone number.
Sometimes, human nature is so complicated. At a certain point in time, something that has always disgusted her will become a source of comfort and a breakthrough for venting her emotions.
"Mingzhu, you actually called me on your own initiative. Haven't you been avoiding me?" After receiving Li Mingzhu's call, Tim was obviously in an indescribable excitement.
"Are you in the hotel? I'll come find you."
As if she was eager to vent, Li Mingzhu's breathing became rapid and her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Hearing the sound similar to panting, Tim became more and more excited. "Mingzhu, of course I'm in the hotel. I've been waiting for you to come to me every day."
"I'll be there soon."
"My dear, I will always wait for you."
…
After ending the call with Tim, Li Mingzhu rudely pulled off her headphones. She put down the plate with both hands, her beautiful red lips slightly raised, revealing a subtle and calculating smile.
Jiang Yu, you forced me to do this!

Deep in the clouds.
When Shen Qinghuan came out of the bathroom, she saw Jiang Yu standing on the terrace.
He had his back to her, standing straight like a tall tree, quietly standing in the night, his back looking thin and hazy.
Shen Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to go forward, but the man on the balcony seemed to have noticed her. He suddenly turned around and smiled at her through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
Then she saw him put out his cigarette butt and throw it into the ashtray beside him, then walk towards her.
Jiang Yu didn't go close to hug her. He stood at a distance, his thin lips slightly raised, and asked with a smile: "Did you finish washing so soon?"
The man's eyes were very beautiful, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised. His eyes were deep and profound, yet like rippling waves. He was even more serious when looking at people, as if his eyes could only accommodate her.
Meeting the man's pair of dark eyes, Shen Qinghuan inexplicably felt the tips of her ears burning and her heart skipped a beat.
She quickly and calmly looked away, as if nothing had happened. Her soft red lips curled up slightly, and she said calmly, "Well, I've finished washing and want to go to bed early."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qinghuan was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
She said, want to go to bed early?
Is this sentence too easy to arouse your imagination? It's the middle of the night and you don't want to go to bed early. What do you want to do?
Without waiting for Jiang Yu to speak, she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, her face showing a slightly awkward expression, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go to bed first."
As Shen Qinghuan spoke, she didn't even look at the man's expression in front of her, and almost escaped into the bed.
The tips of my ears and cheeks felt hot.
She hid in the quilt, carefully reaching out to touch her burning face, secretly cursing herself for being so cowardly and useless! Wasn't she so powerful before? Why did she suddenly become a coward now?
Because she had covered her head with the quilt, Shen Qinghuan didn't notice that when Jiang Yu saw her panic, the corners of his mouth curved up beautifully and charmingly, and a smile spread from his eyes.
His eyes fell on the large bulge on the bed, and Jiang Yu smiled, "Then you go to sleep first, I'll go wash up."
He said, and walked towards the bathroom.
The dull footsteps gradually faded away until they disappeared from Shen Qinghuan's ears. She did not immediately lift the quilt covering her head, but carefully lifted a corner to take a peek.
Only after she was sure that the man had really left did she crawl out of the bed and let out a long breath.
The tips of my ears are still hot, and my cheeks are still hot.
As if she thought of something, Shen Qinghuan turned her head to look in the direction of the bathroom, and gently stroked her lips with her soft fingertips.
Jiang Yu had kissed that place in front of many of his friends and also in front of Li Mingzhu.
She couldn't understand why he did this when he liked Li Mingzhu so much?
In fact, Shen Qinghuan also admitted that when she chose to take the big risk, she had a gambling element in her mind, and in the end she won.
To be precise, Jiang Yu did not let her fail this time.
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Shen Qinghuan was startled and quickly picked it up to take a look.
Li Meng: You're worthy of being my Huanbao! After just a few nights of companionship, you've already won over that cold-hearted prince of the Jiang family. Tell me! How does it feel to be kissed by him in public?
Looking at the text that popped up in the dialog box, Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What the hell! As for that feeling...
She lowered her eyes, and her thick eyelashes trembled slightly. In just a moment, she woke up.
Jiang Yu must have kissed her in front of Li Mingzhu just to make her angry.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qinghuan suppressed the bitterness in his heart and replied expressionlessly: Maybe he had a quarrel with Li Mingzhu, and I just happened to seize the opportunity to become his tool for revenge on Li Mingzhu.

Soon, Li Meng's words popped up in the dialog box again.
Li Meng: Huanbao, I think you're only trying to boost others' morale and undermine your own prestige. What's so great about Li Mingzhu? She's all tea-flavored from head to toe. Jiang Yu likes her, probably because he's captivated by her tea-flavored vibe. Don't get discouraged, it's best to strike while the iron is hot and win him over.
Shen Qinghuan: It’s not a difficult physics problem, how can I solve it?
Li Meng: Then treat it like a physics puzzle. You used to be able to solve any complex problem without fear, so why? You can't do it now? In my opinion, Li Mingzhu is just waiting for you to file for divorce.
Shen Qinghuan thought again of the middle-aged man who abandoned her in the wilderness that night.
Is it because she successfully saved her marriage, so he no longer intends to make things difficult for her?
Li Meng: Huanbao, I think Jiang Yu still loves you.
Shen Qinghuan: Maybe the body is love.
Li Meng: Poof——
Li Meng: Huanbao, what kind of lewd words are these? Is it something a single woman like me can listen to?
Shen Qinghuan: What I said is true. He has never said that he likes me or loves me, but his body is quite honest.
Li Meng: Hahaha! Huanbao, it’s the middle of the night, are you trying to make me laugh to death?
Shen Qinghuan: Everything I said is true.
Li Meng: Then change your thinking. You got him as a person, but not his heart. No matter what, you at least got one thing, and it’s the most real thing.
Li Meng: Think about it! You won't lose out on a top-notch item like the Jiang family's prince! And it's free.
Shen Qinghuan: It seems to make sense.
Li Meng: Please remove the word "seems".
Shen Qinghuan: Okay! Remove it! Remove it! Sister Meng, it’s the middle of the night, what are you doing instead of sleeping?
Li Meng: Isn’t this chatting with you?
Shen Qinghuan: You'd better go to bed quickly! If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you might wake up with wrinkles tomorrow morning.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
The next second, the man's slightly hoarse voice fell into her ears: "What are you so happy about?"
