Chapter 646: Cold Scene
When an unconscious person falls, there is still room and space for him to wake up, but Lu Dai was sober from the beginning. She knew clearly the entanglement between Shen Zheng and Cen Sixue, and how deeply he loved the other woman, but she still fell in love.
Emotions are the most uncontrollable thing. Even Lu Dai can't just smoke whenever she wants.
There are only two solutions now. Either Lu Dai completely forgets Chen Zheng, or Chen Zheng completely forgets Cen Sixue and falls in love with her.
After this thought popped up in her mind, Zhong Qian couldn't tell for a moment which one was more difficult. Both sounded like hellish difficulty.
"So, I still have the same question," Zhong Qian stared at Lu Dai, "What is it about Shen Zheng that you like?"
Lu Dai: "Maybe I just like him and he doesn't like me."
Zhong Qian: “…”
She was convinced and speechless, and could only give Lu Debi a thumbs up.
The two finished talking about this when the food was served. Lu Dai took the salad and started eating. "Let's go to the boxing gym after we finish eating."
Zhong Qian: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but first, I won't be your sparring partner. Go find your coach."
If you challenge Lu Dai to a fight when she is angry, you are courting death. She is not usually very ruthless. Although she looks calm on the surface when she is in a bad mood, she can create a world of chaos when she really fights.
Previously, Lu Dai caused a huge loss to Lu's company because of a mistake she made at work. Zhong Qian accompanied her to the boxing gym and watched her pester the coach to fight for more than three hours without stopping for a moment. In the end, the coach was exhausted and had to rest on the sidelines. Lu Dai still felt unsatisfied, so she went to hit the sandbag for another half an hour.
It's like a perpetual motion machine.
Lu Dai: "Of course, you are not strong enough for me to fight."
——
On the way to the company, Shen Zheng kept thinking about Lu Dai. He was troubled for a whole morning, but in the end he did not ask anyone to check her whereabouts.
In the afternoon, several executives of the company happened to be going to Lu's, so Shen Zheng followed them.
However, after arriving at Lu's, he did not see Lu Dai. He asked her assistant, and the assistant said that she had taken a leave of absence and was not there.
The assistant was not surprised that Shen Zheng, the husband, did not know his wife's whereabouts. She followed Lu Dai every day and was very clear about the true emotional state between the couple.
Shen Zheng: "Did she say where she was going?"
Assistant: "I don't even know Mr. Lu's personal schedule."
"Okay, got it, thank you." Shen Zheng waved his hand.
Lu Dai was not there, so Shen Zheng did not stay in Lu's to attend the meeting. After arriving at the basement and getting in the car, he was still thinking about the "private itinerary" her assistant had mentioned.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious at all, but he didn't investigate, nor did he contact her to ask. He knew his curiosity stemmed from the inherent inferiority of men. He had no feelings for Lu Dai, and he couldn't force her to stay by his side and waste her time out of possessiveness. He didn't love Lu Dai, but that didn't stop him from admiring and thanking her, and of course, feeling guilty.
Lu Dai deserves a lover who is devoted to her, not someone like him who has lost all motivation.
Shen Zheng sat in the car and smoked two cigarettes, then drove back to Shuixie Villa.
At that time, it was just 4:30 in the afternoon.
When Chen Zheng parked his car, he bumped into an aunt who was returning from grocery shopping. The aunt was very surprised: "Sir, you got off work so early today?"
Shen Zheng nodded.
Auntie: "Do you need to cook earlier? Or should we wait until the wife comes back?"
Shen Zheng: "Come on her time."
Auntie nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare."
Shen Zheng didn't follow him in. He sat down on the stone bench in the yard, took out a cigarette and lit another one.
He raised his head and blew out a puff of smoke, looking at the gray and cloudy sky at dusk with a blank look, and a feeling of irritation inexplicably welled up in his chest.
Shen Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, looking down on himself a little, and didn't know where his possessiveness came from.
Not to mention that Lu Dai might not really be going out on a date with a man today, even if she did, so what? He had no right to stop her. If he couldn't give it to her, why would he prevent others from giving it to him?
When Shen Zheng was smoking his third cigarette, he heard the sound of brakes. He looked towards the gate and saw the familiar off-road vehicle.
Lu Dai is back.
Shen Zheng put out his cigarette and watched Lu Dai park the car and get out with a stunned expression.
She was not wearing the same clothes she had worn when she left in the morning, but a set of sportswear, yoga pants, long socks, flat shoes, and a slim-fitting jacket. Her hair was tied up, and with her bare face and this hairstyle, she looked four or five years younger.
Shen Zheng's eyes were fixed on her for a long time, and before he knew it, Lu Dai was getting closer and closer to him.
Shen Zheng came back to his senses, stood up from the stone bench, looked at Lu Dai, and took the initiative to speak: "You're back. Have you had dinner? Auntie should be ready soon."
"Oh, okay." Lu Dai responded indifferently.
Shen Zheng lowered his head and saw the big bag in her hand, then took it and said, "Let me do it."
Lu Dai didn't act pretentiously with him and let him carry it if he wanted.
The two of them walked side by side towards home. After entering the living room, Lu Dai changed into slippers first and sat on the sofa. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhong Qian to let her know she was safe. As soon as she finished sending the message, Shen Zheng had already put the bag next to her.
Then, he sat down on the single sofa diagonally opposite and made small talk, "Why did you change clothes?"
Lu Dai: "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"
Shen Zheng: "No, it looks good. This is the first time I see you dressed like this."
Lu Dai: "After boxing, I went to a Yin Yoga class."
Shen Zheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on her hands: "Boxing?"
Lu Dai curled her lips and played with her fingers, "I started learning free fighting and Muay Thai when I was fifteen."
Shen Zheng: “…” He had no idea.
Lu Dai saw the surprise in Shen Zheng’s eyes and said lightly: “I thought you could feel it when you went to bed with me.”
Shen Zheng didn't expect her to suddenly change the subject. He coughed and gave an objective evaluation: "Your physical strength is quite good."
Lu Dai: "Thank you."
Shen Zheng didn't know what to say, and then the atmosphere became cold.
Lu Dai had no intention of actively finding topics to talk to him. She was in a bad mood today, and it took a lot of effort for her to keep her emotions stable.
After a moment of silence, Lu Dai received a voice call from Zhong Qian.
She didn't avoid Chen Zheng, nor did she wear headphones. She just leaned on the sofa, pressed the answer button, and put the call on the line.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhong Qian's slightly excited voice was heard: "Do you remember Liang Sibo? He's the handsome guy from our class who stayed on Wall Street."
Lu Dai frowned and recalled according to Zhong Qian's prompt: "The one in the gym?"
"Yes, yes, that's him! I just ran into him. He came to North City and said he found a new job and will be developing here from now on." Zhong Qian said, "I remember he seemed to be interested in you before. I got your WeChat, you can add him and chat. He's not like Chen Zhengxiang."
Shen Zheng, who was sitting beside him and listening to every word, said: "..."
Lu Dai didn't even raise her eyelids. After listening to Zhong Qian, she curled her lips and said, "Sure, push it to me."
