Chapter 24
Yun Qi felt that something might have happened between him and Lu Yun. Why was Lu Yun's attitude towards him so strange these past few days when they were talking about meeting each other's parents just a few days ago?
Has something happened?
Yun Qi turned her head and glanced at Lu Yun's office, only to find that Lu Yun, who should have been working diligently, was holding his phone and looking at something, smiling happily.
Yun Qi stared at his smile, her brows furrowing involuntarily. Why wasn't he working properly during work hours? What was he looking at? Why was he smiling so happily?
Lu Yun looked up and accidentally met Yun Qi's gaze. He immediately suppressed his smile and turned away to the side so that Yun Qi wouldn't see him.
Yun Qi was certain that something was wrong with Lu Yun; he was definitely hiding something from her, and that was the reason for his coldness towards her these past few days.
He had something on his mind and wasn't very focused at work. He waited until the end of the day, when Yun Qi was waiting for Lu Yun. He tried to act normal and asked, "Are you going to let me go home alone tonight?"
Lu Yun looked away from his phone and nodded: "Yeah, I've been a bit busy these past few days and I might not be able to take care of you. I'm sorry, Xiao Qi."
Yun Qi's gaze was deep, and he shook his head: "It's nothing. Then go home a little earlier tonight. I have something to tell you."
Lu Yun smiled, a hint of inexplicable shyness in her eyes: "I also have something to tell you."
Seeing his appearance, Yun Qi's bad premonition grew stronger. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, hoping that it wasn't what he imagined.
Otherwise, he wasn't sure what he might do to Lu Yun.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."
Lu Yun saw Yun Qi into the car before going to the parking lot to get his own car. He didn't know that Yun Qi's car followed closely behind him after he came out.
He wasn't stupid. Waiting for him to come home was a big question. He needed to know tonight where Lu Yun went every day after get off work.
"Sir, could you please follow the car upstairs? I'm willing to pay any price."
Upon hearing that money was not an issue, the master also put in his best effort and followed Lu Yun closely.
Lu Yun had no idea that Yun Qi was following behind him while he was still thinking about his own plan and applauding his own brilliant mind.
Yun Qi followed Lu Yun's car and watched it finally stop in front of a bar. The driver glanced back and asked, "Do you want to go in?"
Yun Qi's breathing quickened, his face dark and gloomy. He stared intently at Lu Yun's back, watching him hand the car keys to the doorman and walk in with an air of nonchalance. Yun Qi laughed in anger. He was still making excuses for Lu Yun, but this was Lu Yun's answer to him. What excuse was needed? This was an undeniable fact.
You already have him, why go to a bar? What kind of business do you need to discuss in a bar?
Yun Qi suddenly felt an unbearable headache. He covered his eyes and said, "Master, take me to this address."
On the way back, Yun Qi looked at the scenery outside. Night gradually fell, the streetlights came on, and the twinkling stars reflected the starry sky. As they passed by quickly, they looked like connected lines. The scene in front of Yun Qi gradually blurred. He looked up and wiped his eyes. Why are you crying? How pathetic.
Since Lu Yun was capable of doing something that betrayed him, he should accept the consequences.
How could they possibly let Lu Yun off so easily?
Yun Qi was never a good demon, and those who survived in the demon realm were never good demons. He wanted to take Lu Yun back to the demon realm and make him his exclusive yang energy.
Back at their house, Yun Qi had calmed down considerably. He turned on the lights and looked at his cozy home, which now seemed so ridiculous. All the sweet words he had heard in the past had vanished like bubbles.
Yun Qi took out her phone and first gave her father a heads-up: "Dad, Lu Yun might have done something to wrong me. I want to bring him back."
The reply came quickly: "What? What did I do to wrong you? That can't be, Xiao Lu is such a good person."
Yun Qi pursed her lips: "I saw it with my own eyes. I never imagined he would be this kind of person."
"How could he do this! I support all your decisions, son. If you've kidnapped him, then kidnap him. Your father in the human realm will handle the communication."
Seeing the message from her father, Yun Qi felt comforted and warmed inside. [Thank you, Dad.]
"Why are you being so polite with me? Oh, I forgot to mention, do you remember what happened with the Yang Energy Jar? Everyone from that company has run away, nobody knows where they went. The police and demon guards are patrolling and searching every day. You need to be careful in the human realm, okay? I heard they're planning to capture a few humans with plenty of Yang energy to continue refining that Yang Energy Jar to control the demons."
Yun Qi hadn't expected that there would be a follow-up to that matter. He frowned as he looked at the news. If that was the case, wouldn't Lu Yun be in some danger?
Wait a minute, he's already done things to betray me, why am I still so concerned about him? Really.
Yun Qi sat on the living room sofa with her arms crossed, waiting for Lu Yun to return.
At 9:30 p.m., Lu Yun finally returned. Seeing Yun Qi still sitting on the sofa, he was startled but also felt sorry for her: "Why didn't you go back to the bedroom and wait for me? It's so cold today."
Lu Yun walked over, unaware of Yun Qi's cold and hard face. He grabbed Yun Qi's cold hands, rubbed them, and breathed on them, saying, "Look, your hands are so cold."
Yun Qi didn't speak, but looked up coldly at Lu Yun. Lu Yun wasn't a slow-witted person, and he immediately realized what was happening, but he didn't think it was him, assuming that something had happened to Lu Yun at the company.
With a worried look, she asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Qi? Are you feeling unwell? Or did you run into someone at work? Why do you look so pale?"
Yun Qi forced a smile, unable to manage one. He asked, "Why are you back so late?"
This is not the first time.
Lu Yun said, "I have something to do, and I can't tell you right now. It's a secret."
It's a secret that Yun Qi would be very happy to hear.
Yun Qi sneered. A secret? A secret that everyone knows?
He crossed his legs: "What do you want to tell me?"
Lu Yun's attention was diverted. "Shall we set a time for both sets of parents to meet?"
Yun Qi raised an eyebrow: "Why did you suddenly decide to have the parents meet? Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to wait until the right time?"
Lu Yun said, "Now is the perfect time."
Yun Qi suddenly became curious: Who was in the bar? Who had persuaded Lu Yun to change his mind from hesitation a few days ago to now being willing to meet the parents?
But Lu Yun didn't say anything, and Yun Qi didn't mention it either. Before Lu Yun came back, he had also searched online for what to do in this kind of situation. Many netizens told him to grab evidence first, so that Lu Yun wouldn't deny it.
Yun Qi agreed. He and Lu Yun had been together for more than two months, and he thought he knew Lu Yun quite well. But he didn't expect this to happen, which made him doubt whether his understanding of Lu Yun was too one-sided.
Interrupted from his thoughts, Lu Yun squatted down, resting his head on his knees: "How about it? Tell your father that we'll try to meet within the next two weeks."
Yun Qi didn't speak, but raised his chin slightly to look at him. He stared into Lu Yun's eyes, trying to find evidence that Lu Yun had changed his mind, but he couldn't see anything. He didn't know if Lu Yun was hiding it too well or what, but when he looked into Lu Yun's eyes, he felt that he was no different from before.
Yun Qi sighed softly and nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask my dad if he's free this weekend, okay?"
Lu Yun nodded, stood up and said, "I'm so tired today. Did you take a shower, Xiao Qi?"
Yun Qi: "I'm done washing up. You can go wash up now and get some rest."
Lu Yun responded and went to take a shower, leaving Yun Qi alone on the sofa, watching his back, lost in thought.
Yunqi sent a message to her father, set a time, and said after Lu Yun came out, "My parents said they are free this Saturday, how about we meet this Saturday?"
Lu Yun, who had just taken a shower, was still damp with sweat. His hair was slightly wet, and his bangs, which he usually kept up, were hanging down, making him look somewhat childish. He nodded and said, "Sure, my parents are always available. Xiao Qi, do your father and father have any dietary restrictions?"
Hearing his address, Yun Qi was taken aback and said, "My father doesn't eat spicy food much, but he can eat everything else."
Lu Yun happily went to reserve a private room and basic dishes.
Yun Qi leaned against the doorframe, watching Lu Yun blow-dry his hair, her eyes slightly narrowed. What was Lu Yun thinking?
Perhaps because he was about to meet her parents, Lu Yun had been behaving himself these past few days. He hadn't gone to bars, and his commute to and from get off work was the same as before. He was with Yun Qi, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. This made Yun Qi feel a little dazed, wondering if those days were just her imagination.
But he knew it was definitely true.
Saturday was a beautiful day. Lu Yun got up very early, before Yun Qi woke up. He gently kissed Yun Qi's cheek, pulled the blanket up for him, and went to the dressing room to prepare his clothes for the day.
Today is an important day, a very, very important day. Lu Yun hummed a song while sending a message on his phone.
Is the private room ready?
Is everything almost finished decorating? Today is a major day in my life, I can't afford to mess it up.
Don't worry, Brother Lu! It's all wrapped up!
Trust us!
Seeing everyone's replies, Lu Yun felt relieved and sent a message to another group chat.
Mom and Dad, Father, are you ready?
OK
[Ready to go]
Lu Yun took a deep breath. Although he had demonstrated it several times, he was still a little nervous when it actually started. Lu Yun began to imagine Yun Qi's expression and tone of voice when he saw this scene and heard the news. He would definitely be very surprised and happy.
Lu Yun chuckled to himself, unaware that Yun Qi had already woken up. Standing at the door, he smiled at Lu Yun and suddenly asked, "What are you doing?"
