Sister-in-law Lu laughed and said, "Alright, I know what kind of person you are. I'll definitely trust you. It's just that she looks a bit unfamiliar; I haven't seen her much before."
Lu Mingyuan explained, "It's a neighbor from a long time ago. I happened to run into her today, so I invited her over for a visit. She's working hard all by herself now, which must be tough for her. I remember you have a house in the suburbs, so I thought it would be good for her to stay for a couple of days. Do you agree?"
Lu Mingyuan had already planned ahead; if she said she was unwilling, he would send Lu Qingyan to a villa under his own name.
After all, they were husband and wife, and Lu Qingyan was a younger sister they hadn't seen for many years. Living under the same roof was bound to be inconvenient, and Lu Mingyuan was well aware of the need to take precautions.
Seeing that Lu Mingyuan had explained everything clearly, Sister-in-law Lu naturally wouldn't stop him anymore. She laughed heartily and said, "It's alright. The house over there is empty, so it's fine for her to live there. Remember to find a few people to go and clean it properly."
Lu Qingyan thanked her repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Although Sister-in-law Lu graduated from police academy, her cooking skills were also quite good. She personally cooked dinner for the family, and Lu Qingyan couldn't find any fault with it after tasting it.
"Sister-in-law's cooking is really good." Lu Qingyan exclaimed sincerely.
"Yes, I'm so lucky to have married her," Lu Mingyuan boasted with satisfaction.
Lu Qingyan forced a smile and didn't say anything more.
Watching the interaction between Lu Mingyuan and his wife, she couldn't help but think of Rong Xu again.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, she banished this person from her mind and stopped thinking about him.
Although it wasn't so easy to let go, Lu Qingyan had always been a very decisive person. Apart from persisting in Rong Xu's matter for so many years, there was nothing else that could make her persist like this.
She had refused him before, but Rong Xu's nonchalant attitude always made Lu Qingyan feel that he wasn't serious.
It wasn't until the slap landed on her face that Lu Qingyan finally understood that some things cannot be forced.
Rong Xu had never looked at her properly; in his eyes, she was just an immature child, and forcing things like this would not lead to anything.
Lu Qingyan thought that if she went back after a while, she would probably let him go.
After so many years, Lu Qingyan herself couldn't tell whether she couldn't bear to part with the warmth she felt for Rong Xu, and wanted to keep the promise she made ten years ago, "You raised me, and when I grow up, I will repay you with my body," or whether she really had fallen in love with him over time and wanted to grow old with him.
After the intense pain subsided, it didn't seem so bad anymore.
Sister-in-law Lu tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "It's already late, and it will take a long time to get there. Why don't you rest here for the night and go over tomorrow?"
"Mmm." Lu Qingyan nodded obediently upon hearing her words.
After Lu Mingyuan went upstairs to his study, his sister-in-law pulled Lu Qingyan aside and asked her, "Miss Lu, are you working outside alone now, or are you still looking for a job?"
"Still looking for a job."
Lu Qingyan already had a position in Rong Xu's company, but she didn't want to go there now and planned to check back later. Rong Xu's company didn't actually need her; she was just a figurehead because of their relationship. Even if she left now, it wouldn't have any impact.
At most, Rong Xu will have a bit more work.
