Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Mr. Lu is next door
What Ye Anyu noticed first was not the thing handed to him, but why Lu Mingzhou appeared here?
Ye Anyu was stunned until Lu Mingzhou spoke: "Aren't you going to feed him?"
Only then did Ye Anyu realize that what Lu Mingzhou handed her was a can of cat food.
Ye Anyu reached out and took the cat food can. Her cold fingers touched Lu Mingzhou's palm, and Lu Mingzhou's heart felt like it was gently scratched by a feather.
Ye Anyu's fingers were a little cold. He tried to pull the can ring several times but failed. Lu Mingzhou finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Let me do it."
Ye Anyu put the can of cat food on Lu Mingzhou's outstretched hand with a sullen look. Lu Mingzhou just opened it with a "bang" and the can was opened.
The kitten was a little timid. Although it was hungry, it didn't dare to come up when it saw the can of food that Ye Anyu put down. Subconsciously, Ye Anyu pulled Lu Mingzhou's clothes and took a few steps back.
Lu Mingzhou was startled by this sudden little movement, but he still cooperated and followed Ye Anyu to step back.
Ye Anyu's attention was obviously only on the kitten. After a while, the kitten finally took a few steps forward, cautiously scratched the cat can with its claws and licked it. After tasting the sweetness, it realized that the two people in front of it were not enemies, so it began to eat it voraciously.
"So cute." After seeing this scene, Ye Anyu's boredom of the day was cured. She smiled, her hand still holding the corner of Lu Mingzhou's clothes.
"It's very cute." Lu Mingzhou agreed.
Hearing the voice, Ye Anyu realized that the person standing next to her was Lu Mingzhou. She immediately let go of the corner of her clothes, apologized awkwardly, and then asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Lu Mingzhou pointed to a car not far away and said, "I just happened to see you when I passed by."
Ye Anyu let out an "Oh," wondering why Lu Mingzhou was so nice to her today. Perhaps it was because of the kitten? After all, kittens are so adorable, surely everyone would dislike them?
But Ye Anyu still couldn't imagine Lu Mingzhou liking kittens. He was always cold, so how could he be associated with cute things?
Thinking of this, Ye Anyu shook his head.
Ye Anyu stared at the kitten, but Lu Mingzhou stared at Ye Anyu intently. He had known for a long time that Ye Anyu looked very pretty when she smiled, but today he found that she was even more adorable when she smiled, and she looked like a soft and sticky kitten.
He was just a little short of clothes, so Lu Mingzhou asked, "Are we going home?"
Ye Anyu nodded without thinking, and only after nodding did he realize what Lu Mingzhou had just said.
"Let's take the bus back." Lu Mingzhou said.
The villa area is much larger than the average residential area. It's a few hundred meters away from here, but it's not too far to take a car back. Ye Anyu said, "I can just walk back."
Seeing that Ye Anyu had no intention of getting in the car, Lu Mingzhou took off his suit jacket and put it on Ye Anyu, saying, "It's cold outside."
After saying this, Lu Mingzhou got into the car and left. Looking at the slowly departing car, Ye Anyu stood there in a daze. The warmth of Lu Mingzhou's body was still on his suit jacket, and when he smelled it carefully, it was still stained with Lu Mingzhou's scent.
Lu Mingzhou was very abnormal, and it was confirmed that it was not Ye Anyu's illusion. Why was he suddenly so nice to her?
Ye Anyu couldn't understand. If he continued like this, she might hesitate about the divorce agreement in a month.
Forget it, let’s not think about this for now. Let me think about how to tell Lu Mingzhou about having dinner with Lu Xingzhi later.
It took Ye Anyu about ten minutes to walk the several hundred meters. When she reached the door, she saw an extremely familiar figure standing at the door.
"Are you waiting for me?" Lu Mingzhou had just put a piece of clothing on her, but she was so narcissistic that she actually came out and asked such a question.
But Ye Anyu was looking forward to Lu Mingzhou's answer. He was really hopeless.
"Um."
He was actually waiting for her, it wasn't a dream.
The two of them entered the room one after another. After entering the room, Ye Anyu took off his coat, handed it to Lu Mingzhou, and then thanked him.
Lu Mingzhou took the clothes without any expression on his face. It was not known if it was Ye Anyu's illusion, but when Lu Mingzhou heard "thank you", his brows frowned.
In just a short while, I shouldn't have gotten his clothes dirty.
After Lu Mingzhou took the clothes, he turned around and went into the room, "Lu Mingzhou, wait a moment."
Hearing Ye Anyu calling him, Lu Mingzhou stopped, holding his suit jacket in his arms, turned around, and looked at Ye Anyu in confusion.
Ye Anyu mustered up his courage, looked at Lu Mingzhou and said, "Brother Xingzhi is back."
"Yeah." Lu Mingzhou's face turned visibly ugly.
Ye Anyu continued: "He wants to invite us to have dinner together. When are you free?"
Lu Mingzhou said coldly, "Not recently." He turned and walked into his room.
Ye Anyu stood there in bewilderment. Did he say something that offended him? Why was he suddenly angry?
But fortunately, Lu Mingzhou has no time recently, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to have dinner with the two brothers. He is not mentally prepared for this.
Thinking of this, Ye Anyu opened his mobile phone and clicked on Lu Xingzhi's dialog box.
——【Brother Xingzhi, Lu Mingzhou doesn’t have time recently.】
Ye Anyu did not send it immediately. It seemed too strange to still call Lu Mingzhou in front of his family. Then should he call him Mingzhou?
Re-edited by Ye Anyu.
——【Brother Xingzhi, Mingzhou doesn’t have time recently.】
Click Send.
A moment later, Ye Anyu received a reply from Lu Xingzhi: [Okay, let's have dinner together again when we have time.]
【Um. 】
After replying to Lu Xingzhi, Ye Anyu returned to her bedroom, but she didn't see Lu Mingzhou staring at her through the crack of the half-open door with red eyes.
So many years have passed, haven't you forgotten Lu Xingzhi?
When Lu Xingzhi went to the company to find him yesterday, he happened to have an international conference. When he finished the meeting and went downstairs to find him, he saw Ye Anyu sitting opposite Lu Xingzhi. It was unknown what the two were talking about, but Ye Anyu was smiling.
She had never smiled like this in front of him. Thinking of this, Lu Mingzhou turned and left, and then sent a message to Lu Xingzhi saying that he had other things to do and had no time to meet him.
In the next few days, Lu Mingzhou returned to his original cold self. Ye Anyu thought to herself that it was indeed her illusion that day. How could a favored child of heaven like Lu Mingzhou fall in love with an illegitimate daughter just by spending time with her day and night?
Even so, Ye Anyu was still a little reluctant. He was really disappointing.
Although he was reluctant, when the day of divorce came, Ye Anyu would sign the divorce agreement without hesitation. After all, Ye Anyu believed that what he was best at was separation.
When Ye Anyu was a child, she followed her mother back to her grandmother's house and bid farewell to her so-called father at that time; a few years after staying at her grandmother's house, her grandmother died of illness, and she experienced the separation of death for the first time in the true sense; when she was ten years old, her mother fell ill, and her father proposed to take her back to Bei'an, and she bid farewell to her mother again; after being taken to the Ye family, she lived cautiously under the shadow of her brother and sister, but it was only because she was an illegitimate daughter.
She spent a lot of time in the first half of her short life living in caution. The happiest time was when she just returned to her grandmother's house. Except for the lack of her father's love, her grandmother and mother were very good to her.
But it didn't take long before the children around her said she was a wild child without a father, and the neighbors said she was an illegitimate daughter born to a mistress.
Two years later, her grandmother, who loved her the most, passed away, and her mother seemed to have completely changed. She started drinking and ignored her. When she was drunk, she even beat, kicked, and scolded her.
When she was ten years old, Ye Anyu was taken back to the Ye family. She thought her father would love her as much as before, but unfortunately, things went against her wishes. When she arrived at her new home, she had to call another woman "Mom", he had to call a strange boy "Brother", and he had to call a bad-tempered girl "Sister".
At that time, she began to learn to read people's expressions and disguise herself, and she also accidentally heard that she was just a pawn in a marriage alliance, and the man she was going to marry was seven years older than her.
Everything is predetermined by God, and she has no right to speak at all.
In addition to falling in love with someone, she saw that person hiding in the corner and crying secretly. She walked to the boy and gave him a big lollipop, which was the most precious thing she had at that time.
And the next time she hid in the corner crying, the boy also took out a big lollipop and stuffed it into her hand. For Ye Anyu at that time, the boy was her salvation.
Thinking of this, Ye Anyu smiled bitterly. After the divorce, she would probably be able to get true freedom.
A life that is no longer controlled by others, a life that no longer depends on others’ feelings, and a life that no longer involves anxiety and worry.
A week passed quickly. During this period, Ye Anyu did not ask Lu Mingzhou when he would have time to have dinner with Lu Xingzhi. If Lu Xingzhi was anxious, he would naturally contact Lu Mingzhou himself.
On Friday night, Ye Anyu turned off his computer and left work on time. When his colleague Zhao Feifei saw him, she said, "Anyu, Xiaoxiao and I have an appointment to go shopping together. Do you want to come with us?"
"No need...Okay."
Tomorrow is Wu Yao's birthday. Ye Anyu plans to go shopping and buy her a birthday present. If he goes with his colleagues, he can get their advice and suggestions.
Zhao Feifei just asked casually, but she didn't expect Ye Anyu, who never liked shopping, to agree. She was surprised but also very happy in her heart. She said, "Then I'll tell Xiaoxiao."
Ye Anyu nodded and quickly packed up his things.
After punching in, the three of them walked out of the company building together. Xiaoxiao was as her name suggested, a very cheerful and cheerful girl with long wavy hair and a very sweet look. She joined the company at about the same time as Ye Anyu, so they would call each other by their names.
Xiaoxiao took Ye Anyu's arm and said with a smile: "Anyu, you actually agreed to go shopping with us today."
It had been a long time since Ye Anyu had done this with her friends, so she was a little uncomfortable for a moment. She explained, "Tomorrow is my friend's birthday, and I want to buy her a gift. I'd like to ask for your help and some advice."
"Oh?" Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Anyu cunningly: "Is he your boyfriend?"
Feifei agreed, "Seeing An Yu is so dedicated, it goes without saying that it is definitely true."
Ye Anyu denied repeatedly: "No, it's my college roommate."
“I see.”
Ye Anyu nodded.
Feifei said, "We'll take our time choosing the gifts later. Let's go eat first, okay? I've been working all day and I'm starving."
"What do you want to eat?"
Feifei said, "I heard that several new restaurants have opened in the West City Mall, and two of them have good reviews. Should we go there and eat?"
Xiaoxiao agreed immediately: "Okay, okay."
"West City Square?"
"Yes, although it's a little far from here, there are many shops there, so we have more choices when choosing gifts there."
Xicheng Plaza seems to be near Lu Mingzhou’s company. It shouldn’t be such a coincidence to meet him. After all, Lu Mingzhou is not the kind of person who likes to go shopping in shopping malls.
After thinking about this, Ye Anyu nodded.
The three originally wanted to drive there, but considering the risk of traffic jams during the evening rush hour, they finally chose to take the subway. Twenty minutes later, the three stood side by side in front of the gate of Xicheng Square.
"There are two restaurants with good reviews. One serves local Bei'an cuisine, and the other serves newly opened grilled fish. Which one do you want to try?" Feifei swiped the APP on her phone.
"Grilled fish?" Ye Anyu said it unconsciously. Ye Anyu remembered that Lu Mingzhou liked to eat fish very much.
"Okay, then let's go eat grilled fish." Feifei thought Ye Anyu chose grilled fish.
Ye Anyu followed the two of them upstairs. The mall on Friday was much busier than usual, with people coming and going in an endless stream. When the three of them stood in front of the grilled fish shop, they were dumbfounded.
It was a Friday and the restaurant was extremely popular. There were already several rows of people sitting in front of the restaurant. Xiaoxiao went to get a number and saw that there were thirty tables waiting in front. It was estimated that it would take two hours to eat.
The three of them stared dejectedly at the number papers in their hands.
Feifei suggested: "How about we go to another store?"
Xiaoxiao responded: "I think it's OK."
Ye Anyu nodded.
Just as the three of them were about to turn around and leave, someone suddenly came out of the store, walked up to them, looked at Ye Anyu and said, "You are Miss Ye, right?"
Ye Anyu didn't understand what was going on. Her last name was indeed Ye, but she wasn't necessarily the Miss Ye he was referring to.
The man seemed to see her confusion and asked again: "You are Miss Ye Anyu, right?"
He pointed out her by name, and it was indeed her that was mentioned. Ye Anyu nodded and said, "Yes, it is me."
"Are you and your friends planning to come over for dinner?" the man asked.
Ye Anyu looked at Feifei and Xiaoxiao and nodded again.
Xiaoxiao said: "We originally wanted to eat grilled fish, but there are too many people here."
"plz follow me."
Feifei and Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Anyu suspiciously. Ye Anyu knew nothing at this moment and followed the man into the store in a daze.
After the three of them followed this person into the box and sat down, Ye Anyu found a chance to ask, "What's going on?"
I only heard this person say: "Mr. Lu is a good friend of our boss. He asked me to bring you in."
Mr. Lu? The first name that came to Ye Anyu's mind was Lu Mingzhou.
But even so, Ye Anyu was still puzzled as to how Lu Mingzhou knew she was here.
This person seemed to see Ye Anyu's doubts, and said with great tact: "Mr. Lu is next door."
