Chapter 12 Chapter 12 You have the potential to be a chef
"An Yu, are you free tomorrow? I want to have dinner with you." Lu Xingzhi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Anyu subconsciously glanced at Lu Mingzhou, but found that Lu Mingzhou was also staring at her. The air was silent for a few seconds.
Lu Xingzhi didn't receive a reply from Ye Anyu, so he asked, "Anyu, are you listening?"
"exist."
"Originally, I wanted to invite you and Mingzhou to have dinner together, but Mingzhou seemed very busy. I asked him several times, and he said he didn't have time. You don't have time either, do you? Tomorrow is the weekend." Lu Xingzhi obviously noticed Ye Anyu's hesitation.
"I..." Ye Anyu looked up at Lu Mingzhou. Somehow, she felt a little guilty. "I'm free tomorrow."
"I'll send you the time and address tomorrow."
"good."
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Anyu prepared to go upstairs to his room. He had only taken two steps when he heard Lu Mingzhou speak coldly, without a trace of warmth: "Lu Xingzhi asked you to dinner?"
Ye Anyu said "hmm" softly.
"I'll go with you tomorrow." After saying this, Lu Mingzhou passed by her and went upstairs before her.
Lu Mingzhou walked very fast, and his slippers made a "dong dong" sound as they rubbed against the floor. A moment later, Lu Mingzhou's figure disappeared with the sound of a door closing, leaving Ye Anyu alone standing in the living room.
So what was going on? Hadn't Lu Mingzhou been refusing before? Why did he suddenly have time?
If they really meet tomorrow, they probably won't fight. Ye Anyu looked down at his small body. If they started fighting, he wouldn't be able to stop them.
Or call Lu Xingzhi and find an excuse not to go? But he had already rejected Lu Xingzhi many times, and it would be unreasonable to refuse him again. After all, Lu Xingzhi was Lu Mingzhou's brother, and they would meet each other every day in the future.
Forget it, there is no point in dwelling on these things. What is coming will eventually come. They are both well-known figures, so they shouldn't fight each other. Thinking of this, Ye Anyu sent a message to Lu Xingzhi, informing Lu Mingzhou that they would go together tomorrow.
In the tidy room, Lu Mingzhou walked straight to the window, turned on his phone and made a call: "Assistant Liao, please cancel my schedule for tomorrow."
"Well, that's troublesome."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingzhou stood in front of the window. The autumn wind rustled, rolling up the gray-white curtains in the room and fluttering on Lu Mingzhou's body. Outside the window, the evergreen osmanthus tree swayed in the wind, making the lights dim.
Lu Mingzhou's heart was as wavering as the dim light.
Because he had drunk some wine, Ye Anyu fell asleep soon after washing up and lying on the bed, and had a good night's sleep.
When Ye Anyu woke up in the morning, he received the time and address sent by Lu Xingzhi: 7 o'clock in the evening, at Honghai Restaurant.
Ye Anyu looked at the time. It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and there was still a long time before seven o'clock in the evening.
Ye Anyu pushed the door open and went out. She wanted to tell Lu Mingzhou the time and address. She looked downstairs and found no one there. Ye Anyu walked to Lu Mingzhou's door.
Raise your right hand, hovering in the air, or send a WeChat message to Lu Mingzhou?
But both of them were at home, and sending WeChat messages seemed too awkward. After pacing for a while, Ye Anyu finally made up his mind and told Lu Mingzhou in person.
Ye Anyu stopped in front of Lu Mingzhou's door and raised his right hand again. With a "click", the door opened from the inside, and Ye Anyu's right hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
"Well, let me tell you the time and place for dinner." Ye Anyu retracted his hand awkwardly, raised his head and met Lu Mingzhou's eyes.
"No need to tell me." Lu Mingzhou stared at Ye Anyu.
"Ah?" Could it be that Lu Mingzhou regretted it after a night?
Lu Mingzhou seemed to see through her confusion and explained, "I'll be at home all day today. Just call me when you leave."
"Ah?" This sentence shocked Ye Anyu again. Lu Mingzhou actually stayed at home all day. She had originally planned to stay at home all day.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Mingzhou asked.
"Hungry." Ye Anyu blurted out. Last night, apart from eating something just now, he only drank a few glasses of wine. At this time, Ye Anyu's stomach was empty.
I originally planned to notify Lu Mingzhou and then go out to buy something to eat.
Lu Mingzhou walked past Ye Anyu and went downstairs, taking out some things from the refrigerator. Could it be that Lu Mingzhou was planning to make breakfast?
Ye Anyu followed him downstairs. When she reached the kitchen door, she saw eggs, lettuce, toast and other ingredients neatly arranged on the chopping board. Lu Mingzhou was wearing the apron he used for cooking. The apron was bought by Ye Anyu. It was pink and it made him look different from his usual cold and serious appearance. He even looked a little cute.
Ye Anyu covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud. Lu Mingzhou looked up at Ye Anyu and just said, "Wait a moment."
So is Lu Mingzhou planning to cook for her?
Ye Anyu was really getting more and more confused about Lu Mingzhou. First, he bought an identical flowerpot to transplant the green plant, then he came to Wu Yao's rescue at her birthday banquet, and now he was preparing to cook for her. Is this the state of someone who is about to get divorced?
Ye Anyu pouted, supported her chin, sat on the sofa and stared at the busy Lu Mingzhou.
Lu Mingzhou usually goes out early and comes back late, so Ye Anyu and Lu Mingzhou don't have many opportunities to meet at home, let alone eat together. Ye Anyu only discovered today that Lu Mingzhou can cook.
The fire was lit, and with a "sizzling" sound, mist rose. Lu Mingzhou held the pot in his left hand and the spatula in his right hand, staring intently at the eggs in the pot. The whole set of movements looked extremely skillful.
It would be great if I could live like this forever, this thought suddenly popped up in Ye Anyu’s mind.
Ye Anyu stared at Lu Mingzhou who was busy in the kitchen until he walked up to her with a plate and brought breakfast to her table.
On the light green plate, a sandwich was neatly placed on it, with tender green lettuce, golden fried eggs, and bright red tomatoes, all wrapped in toast in distinct layers. Ye Anyu couldn't help but sigh that Lu Mingzhou could do everything well, and the appearance of this sandwich was definitely not inferior to those in the bakery.
After putting down the sandwich, Lu Mingzhou turned around and took a glass of milk and placed it in front of Ye Anyu. Ye Anyu touched it and found it was warm milk.
The two sat opposite each other. This was the second time Ye Anyu had eaten alone with Lu Mingzhou. The last time she made noodles, and this time Lu Mingzhou made sandwiches.
"It's time to eat." Lu Mingzhou said to Ye Anyu after sitting down.
Ye Anyu was already starving. On normal days, he would have wolfed down his food, but because Lu Mingzhou was sitting opposite him, Ye Anyu politely picked up the sandwich from the plate and took a small bite. It tasted very good.
"You have the potential to be a chef." Ye Anyu blurted out.
After she finished speaking, Ye Anyu realized what she had just said. Ye Anyu pounded his chest and stamped his feet, lowering his head and observing Lu Mingzhou out of the corner of his eye.
Lu Mingzhou sat opposite her and stared at her intently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
Ye Anyu was afraid that he was dazzled, so he raised his head and looked at Lu Mingzhou. It was true, the corners of Lu Mingzhou's mouth were raised, his eyebrows were curved, and it was indeed a smile.
"Really?" Lu Mingzhou asked in a light tone.
Ye Anyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Then you should eat more." Lu Mingzhou's tone became warmer, even gentle.
What on earth was going on? Was this an illusion or was she dreaming?
When Ye Anyu finished his sandwich, drank his milk, and sat on the sofa in the living room, he still felt that everything was a little unreal.
Lu Mingzhou was still busy in the kitchen. When Ye Anyu was full and ready to wash the dishes, she was stopped by Lu Mingzhou. Lu Mingzhou took the plate from her hand and walked straight to the kitchen.
Ye Anyu pinched his arm, it hurt so much. If he wasn't dreaming, then everything that just happened was real.
When Lu Mingzhou came out of the kitchen, Ye Anyu asked, "Don't you have work today?"
"Yes, I pushed it." Lu Mingzhou answered simply and clearly.
So, did Lu Mingzhou postpone all his work today just to have dinner with Brother Xingzhi that evening? The answer is obvious.
"But we don't have dinner until 7pm." The implication is that you can actually go to work now.
"I want to rest at home today." A look of disappointment seemed to flash across Lu Mingzhou's face.
"Oh." Since getting married, Ye Anyu has never spent a whole day with Lu Mingzhou.
The situation became awkward for a while, and Ye Anyu tried to find something to talk about: "It's less than a month before our divorce."
After hearing these words, Ye Anyu wanted to just find a piece of tofu to smash his head against. This idiot kept bringing up all sorts of irrelevant topics.
These words struck Lu Mingzhou's heart coldly. He paused and said, "Yeah."
There was another moment of silence. "Where do you plan to go after the divorce?" Lu Mingzhou looked very lonely when he said this.
Ye Anyu didn't expect Lu Mingzhou to care about her. Thinking about it carefully, she could be considered Lu Mingzhou's sister, so it made sense for him to care about her. "I bought a house last year, and I will move there after the divorce."
Ye Anyu did not hide it. After all, Lu Mingzhou was worth hundreds of millions and would definitely not covet her small house.
Hearing this, Lu Mingzhou's eyes dimmed. He paused and said, "If you think that house is too small, I can buy you a bigger one."
Ye Anyu shook his head and rejected Lu Mingzhou's kindness.
What good is a big house if it doesn't have any people? Besides, she's alone, so a house of dozens of square meters is more than enough for her. Moreover, after the divorce, she doesn't want to have any contact with Lu Mingzhou anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.
Lu Mingzhou remained silent. In the past three years, Ye Anyu had always been self-reliant. She had never spent his money or asked him to do anything for her. She really regarded herself as a contract roommate.
Lu Mingzhou turned around and went into his study. On his computer was a document sent to him by Assistant Liao, which required him to check, sign and stamp. Lu Mingzhou looked at it for a long time but had no idea what was written on the document.
Finally, he simply turned off the computer and sat in a chair in a daze.
How did it come to this?
