At this time, Zhou Youchen was wearing a gray home long-sleeved trousers, very casual, his hair was slightly moist, with a few drops of water dripping on it, looking softer than usual, like a big boy next door.
Zhou Youchen originally wanted to come out to get some fresh air, but he turned around and was about to go back to the house.
Seeing this, Su Jinyu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "I'll go, I'll go, I won't bother you..." There was a hint of panic in her voice.
Zhou Youchen didn't mean to chase her away. Just as he was about to leave, he saw her retreat back into the house.
There was inevitably a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and that disappointment hung over his heart like a dark cloud.
"Can't bear to leave me"
On the small balcony, Su Jinyu poked her head out, blinked, and playfully glanced at him, "How about I accompany you?"
There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Zhou Youchen laughed, with a smile of helplessness and doting, "Miss Su, it's very late, you should go to bed early."
"Good"
Su Jinyu nodded obediently, waved at him, and smiled brightly, "See you tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, the morning light shone through the carved window lattices, casting a few soft rays of light, outlining mottled shadows on the ground.
Su Jinyu woke up slowly in the dim light, her eyelids slightly raised, her eyes still drowsy from just waking up.
She stretched, her slender arms looking especially white in the morning light, and then she swiftly got out of bed.
The house was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which was the remnant of the incense that burned out last night.
Su Jinyu walked to the dressing table, and her slightly messy but still bright and charming face was reflected in the bronze mirror.
She picked up the wooden comb and slowly combed her ink-black long hair, her movements were gentle and soft.
After combing her hair, she began to choose her outfit for the day. Her eyes wandered among the cheongsams in the closet, and finally stopped on a moon-white cheongsam embroidered with light pink roses.
She put on her cheongsam, gently adjusted her collar and sleeves in front of the mirror, and carefully selected a pair of pearl earrings to put on. Every movement she made was graceful and calm.
After getting dressed, Su Jinyu walked out of the bedroom.
The fresh and cool air in early autumn brushed gently across her cheek, bringing a hint of coolness that made her shiver.
She subconsciously wrapped her shawl tightly around her body and glanced unconsciously towards the next room.
At this time, the door of the next room was closed and the surroundings were quiet.
She stood there, still hesitating in her mind whether to knock on the door and give a bright smile.
Imagining Zhou Youchen's surprised and somewhat delighted expression when he opened the door, the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted, her eyes full of anticipation.
But Qingru at the side interrupted her thoughts, "Miss, Captain Zhou left early in the morning."
Su Jinyu's smile froze on her face instantly, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, she pouted her lips and muttered, "You're not hiding from me on purpose."
Her voice was soft and a little coquettish.
Qing Ru said carelessly: "Miss, I don't think so. If he wants to hide from you, he can just get up at seven o'clock, but he has already gone out at six o'clock."
"Six o'clock?" Su Jinyu's eyes widened, full of disbelief, "He didn't come back until after eleven o'clock last night."
She frowned slightly, and the image of Zhou Youchen returning tiredly last night appeared in her mind.
After cleaning up and taking a shower, I fell asleep at around 12 o'clock.
He only slept for a few hours! !
Su Jinyu, who usually sleeps and wakes up naturally, cannot understand this kind of self-abuse behavior of sleeping only five or six hours.
She looked down at her carefully dressed appearance and secretly complained in her heart: This outfit of mine is a waste.
After breakfast, the sun became hotter and warmed my body.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
Su Jinyu picked up the receiver, and heard Shen Jing's crying voice asking for help.
Shen Jing was crying on the other end of the phone, saying that Director Luo was going to hold his 50th birthday party today, and Mrs. Shen wanted to take her with him. She eavesdropped on the conversation between Mrs. Shen and Aunt Rong, and they were planning to present her as a gift to Director Luo.
On the phone, Shen Jing's crying became louder and louder, like a wounded fawn, helpless and pitiful.
Su Jinyu frowned, with a hint of anger in her eyes. She whispered a few words to comfort him and said that she would go too.
Once she promised something, Su Jinyu would definitely try her best to do it. This was her usual style.
After hanging up the receiver, Su Jinyu asked Aunt Wu: "Have we received the invitation from the Luo family?"
Aunt Wu shook her head and checked the invitations from each family again for fear of missing anything. When she came back, she was still shaking her head, still missing anything.
Su Jinyu stood up, walked quickly to the garage, and drove to the Governor's Mansion.
If the Luo family didn't invite her to the banquet, they would definitely send the invitation to the Governor's Office.
Whether or not to go to the Governor's Office is one thing, but whether to send it or not is an attitude.
As soon as I left the Governor's Mansion, I saw Zhang coming out.
The sunlight shines on Zhang, outlining her slightly bloated figure.
"Aunt Zhang, are you going out?" Su Jinyu got out of the car and took the initiative to greet her with a clear voice and a polite smile on her face.
The two of them had just had an unpleasant argument. Zhang nodded indifferently and said in a cold tone, "Let's go to the Luo family for the banquet."
As he said that, he was about to get in the car.
Su Jinyu took two quick steps and followed Zhang into the back seat.
The space inside the car is not big, and it is filled with a faint smell of perfume.
Zhang looked at her in shock, her eyes wide open, "You, what are you doing?"
There was a hint of surprise and displeasure in her voice.
Su Jinyu lazily leaned against the backrest, looked sideways at her, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I'm also going to the Luo family for a banquet."
Zhang frowned. Although she didn't want to ride in the car with her, she couldn't kick her out. She could only turn her head away helplessly and look out the window.
The two of them didn't speak all the way.
When I arrived at the Luo residence, I saw that it was antique, with a vermilion door that was closed tightly, and the copper ring on the door sparkling in the sun.
This is one of the few old houses in Qianjiang.
Su Jinyu and Zhang got out of the car, and the doorman hurried forward to open the door.
Walking into Luo's residence, the courtyard is full of colorful flowers, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, and the rockery and flowing water are scattered around, as if you are in a Jiangnan ink painting.
Director Luo was dressed in a long robe, holding a white stick, and dressed in a formal manner. He looked gentle and dignified.
He looked at her twice, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he stepped forward gracefully in an instant, with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Su, Miss Su is honored to have you here. It's a great honor for our humble home."
His voice was loud and enthusiastic, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Zhang exchanged a few words with Director Luo and then chatted with the other ladies.
There are quite a few people here today, and the courtyard is filled with people coming and going, with laughter and joy.
The ladies were dressed in gorgeous dresses, wearing dazzling jewelry, with smiles on their faces, competing with each other.
Su Jinyu arrived late and glanced at everyone present.
Seeing Chen Jing looking at her anxiously, she nodded slightly, with a hint of comfort in her eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Luo Ling stepped forward, her face full of indignation, her eyes as big as bells, and she wished she could kick Su Jinyu out.
She was wearing a light yellow cheongsam and her hair was piled high, but she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes.
