After having lunch with them, Qiu Qiu took Wang Xue back to the company to continue working, while I leisurely ordered another drink in the restaurant.
In the afternoon, I took a taxi back to the bridal chamber and on the way I received Qiu Qiu's impatient report.
She seemed to be hiding somewhere when she called me secretly, her voice low and soft: "Shanshan, as you wished, the news of your reunion with Lu Zhiyuan has spread throughout the company, as has the news of your forced miscarriage."
All within my expectations.
I asked casually, "What do you all say?"
"People's opinions of you have changed a lot. Many colleagues think that your previous infidelity must have been framed, otherwise Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't be so generous and continue to accept you. Everyone is more sympathetic to your miscarriage and murder, and they all hope that you can find the real culprit behind it as soon as possible..."
Listening to Qiu Qiu talking about everything about the company, I felt more confident.
Now almost the entire company believes that Lu Zhiyuan and I have reconciled, and they are all paying attention to the fact that I was forced to have a miscarriage. Yuan Yaxin must be panicking and wanting to resolve all this.
I just need to wait for her to show her true colors.
After listening to Qiu Qiu's nagging for a while, she asked me worriedly, "But you're not really planning to get back together with Lu Zhiyuan, are you?"
Qiu Qiu warned me: "You have to be clear-headed. If a man cheats once, he will cheat again. You can't be moved by his small favors."
Qiu Qiu's earnest advice to me made me laugh.
I quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm just playing around. I only use him now and have no feelings for him. There's no way we'll get back together."
Qiu Qiu then felt a little relieved, told me that she was going to work, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
I looked out the window and watched the car passing through the familiar street, and my chest suddenly felt stuffy for some reason.
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the discomfort.
What I said to Qiu Qiu was what was in my heart, so what's there to be uncomfortable about?
Soon, the car stopped downstairs. I paid the fare, got out, walked into the corridor and pressed the elevator to go upstairs.
It is already afternoon. As the president of Xiguang Technology, Lu Zhiyuan naturally would not waste time on work. He should be in the company by now.
I pushed the door open and walked into the house, casually taking off my shoes, thinking that no one was home, but suddenly I heard a caring voice asking -
"You're back."
This sudden sound startled me. I turned around and saw Lu Zhiyuan was still at home.
I looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you go to the company?"
Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I don't have any meetings or social events today. I can complete any work I have at home."
He was trying to be courteous to me: "Did you have enough for lunch? The food I bought this morning hasn't been touched yet. I'll go heat it up for you."
As he spoke, Lu Zhiyuan was about to walk towards the kitchen. He naturally took off the apron on the refrigerator and tied it around himself.
Seeing this, I quickly stopped him and said, "Stop working. I'm very full and don't want to eat anything else."
I don't need him to be attentive to me, and I don't want to owe him any favors.
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, his originally bright eyes now replaced by loneliness.
I think he should have understood by now that my coming back does not mean that I want to continue living a good life with him. I came back purely because I had no choice.
Lu Zhiyuan frowned and looked at me with a hurt look in his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to ask me something.
