Chapter 26 Chapter 26 He looks at you with possessive eyes...
Ye Anyu got into the car and had not yet recovered from the scene just now. For the sake of her mother, she had been accustomed to holding back her anger over the years. No matter what Wang Wenmin and her daughter said, she would never refute them. After she married Lu Mingzhou, she became financially independent and could afford the cost of her mother's nursing home herself.
She returned to the Ye family less and less frequently. She had thought that the mother and daughter would be more restrained, but she found that this was just her idea. Judging from their behavior today, not only did they not restrain themselves, but they became even more aggressive and even reached out to Lu Mingzhou's head.
"Seat belt." Lu Mingzhou's voice brought Ye Anyu back to his senses.
"Oh, okay." Ye Anyu hurriedly fastened his seat belt.
"Xiao Li, go home."
"Okay, Mr. Lu." After hearing the order, Xiao Li immediately started the car. The black Bentley merged into the busy road, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes at the entrance of the banquet hall.
After all, what happened just now was caused by the Ye family. Ye Anyu felt the need to apologize. She placed her hands on her legs, caressing them carelessly. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Lu Mingzhou's body stiffened, his face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he said, "You don't need to apologize to me."
Ye Anyu misunderstood his meaning and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of the Ye family."
Lu Mingzhou turned around, his gloomy expression softened a little, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He sighed and said, "You are also a victim, why should you apologize?"
A trace of warmth rose from Ye Anyu's heart and gradually flowed throughout his body.
"After all, they are my nominal mother and sister," Ye Anyu explained.
Lu Mingzhou stared at Ye Anyu and said, "You also said it, in name only."
That's right.
Half an hour later, the car arrived downstairs of the community, and Ye Anyu followed Lu Mingzhou into the house.
As soon as he arrived home, Ye Anyu was about to go upstairs to rest for a while, but was stopped by Lu Mingzhou in the living room.
"An Yu, can you continue to call me brother from now on?"
Is Lu Mingzhou trying to draw a line between them? Or...
Ye Anyu nodded and said, "Brother, I'll go upstairs." Then she fled.
Ye Anyu didn't see that the moment she turned around, someone's mouth corners curled up wildly.
Ye Anyu's heart was pounding.
Ye Anyu lay on the bed, staring at the snow-white ceiling above his head. The scene in the banquet hall just now emerged in his mind, and Lu Mingzhou's care and protection for him.
If I don't want the engagement to expire soon, I could be a little greedy, but there is another voice in my mind: You are just a tool for him to consolidate his power. After the three-year contract is up, you will no longer be of any use to him.
These words instantly woke Ye Anyu up. How could she be moved by Lu Mingzhou's small favors?
Maybe I can ask Lu Mingzhou in person when I have dinner with him tomorrow.
The dinner party the next day was ultimately cancelled as Lu Mingzhou suddenly had an urgent meeting and flew to Jiangyun City early on Saturday morning. Ye Anyu received a text message from Lu Mingzhou early on Sunday morning.
[An Yu, I suddenly have an important meeting today. Sorry, dinner will have to wait until next time.]
Ye Anyu stared at the message on the mobile phone screen for a few seconds before she reacted. She pushed the door open and went out to take a look. Lu Mingzhou's door was closed, the living room downstairs was empty, and the whole house was quiet and lifeless.
Ye Anyu curled his lips and said, forget it, let’s do it next time.
[Sir, you need to turn on airplane mode on the plane.]
[Okay, right away.] Lu Mingzhou turned on airplane mode and stared at the dialog box on his phone. Ye Anyu should have gotten up by now.
Two hours later, the plane landed and Assistant Liao followed Lu Mingzhou off the plane. He saw that Mr. Lu, who never liked playing with his mobile phone, had been staring at his phone since he got off the plane, as if he was waiting for some news.
"Mr. Lu, come this way." Assistant Liao reminded.
Lu Mingzhou looked up and realized that he had almost gone in the wrong direction. "Assistant Liao, do you have a girlfriend?"
Assistant Liao was startled by this sudden question. His brain raced, wondering if he had done anything wrong recently. After thinking for a while and finding no such problem, he cautiously replied, "Not at the moment."
Could it be that Mr. Lu wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend? Assistant Liao's eyes suddenly lit up.
“If your girlfriend doesn’t reply to your messages, do you know why?”
"Why would it work? You must have made her angry," Assistant Liao blurted out. "Of course I didn't mention you, Mr. Lu."
"angry?"
"Yeah, or maybe she didn't see the message."
"There shouldn't be such a possibility." Lu Mingzhou pursed his lips.
"Mr. Lu, you won't make your wife angry, will you?" After saying this, Lu Mingzhou gave him a sharp look, and Assistant Liao quickly shut his mouth.
"What should we do then?" Assistant Liao was stunned that it was Lu Mingzhou's turn to ask him a question in his lifetime.
Assistant Liao looked at Lu Mingzhou with a smile and said mysteriously, "Mr. Lu, explaining it in person is most effective."
It's the same as if I didn't say anything. If he were in Bei'an, this kind of thing would never happen.
"Of course, if you can't explain it right away, there are other methods, such as making phone calls, sending gifts, preparing surprises, and so on."
"Of course, although these seem extremely incompatible with you, Mr. Lu, there is no other way to calm the wife down."
Before Assistant Liao finished speaking, a computer bag flew over. Lu Mingzhou took out his cell phone and dialed Ye Anyu's number directly.
Ye Anyu thought about it and was still a little angry. He was the one who said he wanted to eat, and he was also the one who said he didn't want to eat. She knew Lu Mingzhou was busy with work, but she was still a little angry. She ate breakfast angrily. The TV was on in the living room, but her eyes were on the phone. Should she reply to him?
Just when Ye Anyu was struggling, the phone suddenly rang. Ye Anyu looked at the two big words "Brother" that popped up on the phone screen. It was Lu Mingzhou calling.
Ye Anyu answered the call without hesitation.
silence……
Ye Anyu glanced at the phone screen and saw that he was on a call...
Ye Anyu asked tentatively: "Brother?"
Ye Anyu heard a soft "hmm" from the other side.
Lu Mingzhou: "Well, I... I had an unexpected meeting at the company last night... It's hard to turn it down, so I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you today."
Lu Mingzhou was not very experienced in apologizing, and what he said was totally inconsistent with his identity as a domineering CEO. Ye Anyu even wondered if he was being coerced.
Ye Anyu: "Yeah."
Suddenly I was no longer angry, and even felt a little happy.
Lu Mingzhou: "Wait for me to come home."
Ye Anyu: "Okay."
Beep, beep, beep...
After the other party hung up the phone, Ye Anyu was still immersed in the conversation and found it hard to believe that Lu Mingzhou actually called her in person to explain.
After hanging up the phone, Assistant Liao saw the usually aloof Mr. Lu, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Anyu woke up on Monday to the alarm clock. She rubbed her eyes, took a few seconds to relax, stretched, and then got up. She brushed her teeth in slippers while opening her mobile phone. Lu Mingzhou sent her a message in the middle of the night.
【Something is a bit troublesome, so we need to delay for a few days.】
So was Lu Mingzhou reporting his itinerary to her? Ye Anyu suddenly woke up and when she looked up, she found herself grinning in the mirror.
Because of this incident, Ye Anyu felt refreshed. When he was at work, Ye Anyu felt that the buns in the morning were more delicious than usual, and even the domineering cars on the road looked a lot cuter.
Ye Anyu parked the car, picked up her elegant white bag and got out.
"Good morning, An Yu."
A familiar voice sounded beside his ears, and Ye Anyu looked over in the direction of the voice: "Mr. Shi."
I almost forgot about this. Shi Taichu was also present on Friday. Lu Mingzhou openly dragged her out in front of everyone. Everyone must have seen it, and Shi Taichu was no exception. It would have been okay if others didn't know her and would only speculate about her relationship with Lu Mingzhou, but Shi Taichu was different.
Shi Taichu has always been smart. Ye Anyu guessed that he must have known about her relationship with Lu Mingzhou, but it didn’t matter because she was about to resign.
"The bag is nice and beautiful." Shi Taichu raised his eyebrows.
"Thank you." This surprised Ye Anyu a little. Shi Taichu didn't even ask.
The two walked side by side towards the elevator, and fell into silence for a while on the way. You know, Shi Taichu is a person who never leaves words unsaid, and he is also a person who never lets things get awkward.
When they were about to reach the elevator, Shi Taichu finally couldn't help but speak: "You and... forget it, it's okay."
Ye Anyu raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Mr. Shi, An Yu, good morning." Feifei greeted them after seeing them.
"Fei Fei, this dress is so beautiful today." A smile appeared in the corner of Shi Taichu's eyes.
"Mr. Shi still has good taste." Feifei winked at Shi Taichu.
Forget it, I need to explain to him.
This was Ye Anyu's last week in this company. Ye Anyu sorted out the work that needed to be handed over, uploaded it to the public document, and completed some follow-up work.
The week passed quickly, and it was not until Thursday night that Ye Anyu realized that Lu Mingzhou had been on a business trip for almost a week. Even though Lu Mingzhou didn't talk much at home, the house was still a little quiet when he came back in the evening.
On Thursday night, Ye Anyu packed up her personal belongings at the company and took them home. Tomorrow she only needed to go to the company to sign the resignation procedures.
She had a mediocre relationship with her colleagues at the company, so there was no need for her to treat them to milk tea for the sake of so-called face. However, she did want to thank Shi Taichu, firstly for agreeing to let her leave the company early, and secondly for helping her keep her identity secret.
Just before dinner time on Friday, Ye Anyu completed her resignation procedures and booked a table at a restaurant near the company.
Shi Taichu usually likes steak, so Ye Anyu chose a restaurant with decent ratings.
The two sat facing each other. Ye Anyu looked around the western restaurant. The restaurant had a retro and romantic style, with light yellow decoration and dim yellow lighting. Ye Anyu's eyes were fixed on the table. The owner might have thought that they were a couple, and he thoughtfully placed a red rose wrapped in kraft paper in the middle of the table.
Ye Anyu coughed twice guiltily.
Shi Taichu casually shook the hair that was covering his eyes, raised his eyebrows, looked at the roses on the table, and said, "Why, are you afraid that Mr. Lu will find out?"
Lu Mingzhou probably wouldn't say anything if he saw it. Ye Anyu is now a little confused about the relationship between the two of them.
Ye Anyu shook his head.
"An Yu, I underestimated you." Shi Taichu said.
Ye Anyu laughed dryly twice and said, "Boss Shi, how did you figure that out?"
Shi Taichu stared at the red wine glass in front of him and said slowly, "I really didn't notice it at first. I was just curious. But later on, whenever you appeared in any place, I could see Mr. Lu more or less. I started to get suspicious."
"But the final confirmation was at last week's birthday party."
Anyone who is not stupid can guess it.
"Of course there's a little more."
"Um?"
"He looks at you possessively."
