When Lu Jia drove home, Rong Mo and Shen Zhi Qiu were still in the nursery with the two children.
At this moment, Zhao Zhao and Niannian had already eaten their fill and drifted off to sleep.
He pushed open the door, and Aunt Zhao quickly made a "shh" gesture to him.
Lu Jia quietly closed the door slightly.
Shen Zhi Qiu gently waved, signaling him to come over.
Walking up to the crib, I saw that Zhao Zhao and Niannian were sleeping in the same position. Both of them had their right hands next to their heads, their chubby faces were pink and tender, and you could see the little downy hairs on their faces under the light, making them look cute and adorable.
Seeing that Lu Jia had returned and the children were already fast asleep, Rong Mo prepared to get up and leave.
Lu Jia opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Rong Mo to stay and go to the company from here the next day, but Shen Zhi Qiu immediately gently pulled his hand from behind and quietly shook her head at him, signaling him not to speak.
"Zhi Qiu, then I'll be leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow."
Rong Mo walked to the door, turned around, and spoke softly to Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Okay, brother, send me a message when you get home, otherwise I'll worry about you." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled and waved to Rong Mo.
Seeing Rong Mo's car drive away from the villa, Lu Jia asked Shen Zhi Qiu with some confusion, "Why didn't you ask your brother to stay and leave tomorrow? I was worried it would be too dangerous for him to drive home at night."
“No, he won’t,” Shen Zhi Qiu said softly. “I know my brother. He’s already released his emotions, and after spending some time with Zhao Zhao and Niannian, he’s calmed down.”
At this moment, what he needs is to be alone in peace and quiet.
"But it's not good here."
Seeing that Lu Jia still looked worried, Shen Zhi Qiu gently took his arm and said, "I'm tired. Come back to my room with me. Don't worry, my brother knows how to control himself and knows his limits. Since he insists on going home, he must have his reasons. Let's not worry."
the next day.
After waking up, Lu Wei opened the window to check the temperature, then took out a long black coat from the closet and put it on. She let her long hair hang down naturally, applied some light makeup, and left the hotel with her bag.
"Driver, please take me to Yunhai Manor." Lu Wei got into the taxi, closed the door, and said to the driver. Then she took out her phone and sent a message to her friend, informing Chu Xia that she was on her way there.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you! You're the only one missing! I'll send you my location and I'll pick you up at the door in a bit." Chu Xia replied instantly.
Lu Wei put her phone away in her bag, turned to look out the window. The sunlight streaming in felt warm and cozy. She squinted at the endless stream of cars on the road and suddenly felt that it was so good to be back in China. For a moment, she even considered staying.
After about an hour, the driver drove a short distance along the mountain road and then brought the car to a steady stop in front of Yunhai Mountain Villa.
Lu Wei got out of the car, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed and natural.
Refusing the resort's pick-up and drop-off service, Lu Wei slowly walked along the stone path hidden in the dense bamboo forest. A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo, and the slender bamboo groves gradually gathered at the top, blocking some of the sunlight, with scattered light and shadows falling intermittently on the ground.
Lu Wei walked forward for more than ten minutes and saw that Chu Xia was already standing in front of a villa.
"Lu Wei!" Chu Xia waved her arms excitedly, looked at her with a bright smile, and shouted, "She's here!"
Lu Wei smiled and quickened her pace to walk up to Chu Xia, giving her a big hug. "Long time no see, Chu Xia."
"Yes, it's been so long since I've seen you!" Chu Xia smiled, her eyes crinkling, and her skin looked even more like porcelain under the sunlight. She tilted her head, without any makeup, her bright eyes looking at her. The pink bow in her bun was askew, and Lu smiled as she straightened it for her.
"Let's go in first." Chu Xia naturally took Lu Wei's arm and introduced everything to her with a smile.
"Where is the others?" Lu Wei looked around the living room but didn't see anyone else.
“Everyone’s still asleep. We went out for a walk last night and didn’t get back until late at night. Everyone’s catching up on sleep right now.” Chu Xia pulled Lu Wei to sit on the sofa.
Lu Wei took off her coat, revealing the black knitted dress she was wearing underneath.
"Miss, your coffee is ready." A maid in uniform came over with a tray and placed two cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Okay, also prepare some fruit and desserts for us," Chu Xia instructed with a smile.
"Yes, Miss." The maid immediately got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"How are you? Are you tired?" Chu Xia picked up her coffee, took a sip, and asked Lu Wei with a smile.
“It’s alright,” Lu Wei also picked up her coffee cup. “It’s quite a coincidence. I ran into my younger brother when I went to try on clothes yesterday. I didn’t expect him to be in the capital as well.”
"Huh?" Chu Xia was taken aback. "Why didn't you invite your younger brother to come along? Haha, let us see a handsome guy too!"
I've seen pictures of your brother before. You should really invite him over. Quite a few of us in this group are single; maybe we could even become a couple!
Chu Xia jokingly suggested that Lu Wei call Lu Jia over as well.
“My brother already has a girlfriend,” Lu said with a smile. “This is the first time I’ve met her; she’s quite a pretty girl.”
"Oh dear, that's such a pity! I was thinking of keeping the good stuff in the family, haha." Chu Xia smiled faintly, her dimples appearing and disappearing on her cheeks.
"Where's your fiancé?" Lu Wei looked around and asked with a smile, "Is he coming over later? You know, you were the first among us to get married, and it was a whirlwind romance! I want to see what kind of handsome guy has you so infatuated that you're ready to get married right away! Everyone was shocked when they heard about it, after all, you used to say you were a staunch 'non-marriage advocate'!"
"Haha, isn't this just fate? When it comes, you can't stop it! I take back what I said earlier!" Chu Xia said with a hearty laugh.
After finishing their coffee, the two continued chatting enthusiastically about the interesting things that had happened recently.
"Um, early summer." Lu Wei hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"What's wrong? Is there anything we can't say to each other?" Chu Xia noticed Lu Wei's hesitation and couldn't help but laugh as she nudged her with her elbow.
"Do you know a man named Rong Mo?" Lu Wei asked tentatively. "I saw him last night, and he seemed to know you."
Chu Xia's smile froze instantly.
