Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Sharing a Bed
When Lu Mingzhou woke up from his sleep, what caught his eye was not the white sheets, but his wife, Ye Anyu.
Lu Mingzhou stared at the person in front of him. Ye Anyu closed her eyes tightly, her raised eyelashes trembled slightly, her breathing was even and gentle, and she looked very sweet, completely different from the person in his dream.
Lu Mingzhou couldn't help but touch Ye Anyu's face gently.
Thinking of the message he received yesterday, Lu Mingzhou let go of his hand, got up from the bed, put on some clothes casually, and gently pushed the door open and walked out.
When Ye Anyu opened his eyes, he felt the room was a little unfamiliar for a moment, with clean sheets and a gray wardrobe. After realizing that this was Lu Mingzhou's room, all his memories came flooding back at once.
Last night, after he dragged Lu Mingzhou into the room, he tripped and fell on him.
She was just tempted by Lu Mingzhou's scent for a moment, but she didn't expect to fall asleep...
Ye Anyu checked his body. Although his clothes were a little messy, fortunately he was still wearing them properly.
Apart from lying together, nothing else should have happened...
It’s all my fault for sleeping too soundly. I have no idea what happened next.
Ye Anyu got up from the bed in despair, casually scratched her long hair, walked to the door and just touched the handle, suddenly thinking that Lu Mingzhou might still be at home, and stopped instantly.
The problem in the auditorium yesterday had not been explained yet, and she was lying on his bed again at night. Lu Mingzhou didn't like her in the first place, and now that she was like this, what would Lu Mingzhou think of her?
There is no doubt that he will hate her even more. Ye Anyu scratched his hair in annoyance.
Why at this time? There is only one month left until the date of their agreement. Why can't they just spend this last month quietly?
Thinking of this, Ye Anyu just wanted to twist his head off.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have dragged Lu Mingzhou back to his room out of kindness yesterday...
Finally, Ye Anyu turned the door lock, opened the door carefully, glanced downstairs, and found that Lu Mingzhou was indeed at home.
Ye Anyu originally wanted to hide quietly back in her room, but she walked forward along the wall with her long legs, and there was a loud "bang".
Damn it! Ye Anyu cursed in his heart and accidentally kicked a wooden board in front of him.
After hearing the noise, Lu Mingzhou raised his head and looked at Ye Anyu with a playful look.
Ye Anyu held his forehead and now just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Under Lu Mingzhou's teasing gaze, Ye Anyu had nowhere to escape. Like a deflated ball, he reluctantly dragged his tired body down the stairs.
Lu Mingzhou was wearing a royal blue striped home suit. He looked like he had just taken a shower, his hair was half dry, and he exuded the scent of shampoo.
Ye Anyu walked up to Lu Mingzhou with a look of disgust on his face: "Sorry, I drank too much yesterday, don't mind it."
Lu Mingzhou remained silent, stood up and left. Ye Anyu sighed, and soon saw Lu Mingzhou bringing a glass of milk. After putting the milk in front of Ye Anyu, he turned around and left without saying a word.
What on earth was going on? Ye Anyu looked at the milk in front of him, confused.
Ye Anyu picked up the milk, it was a little warm, it was actually hot milk, Ye Anyu was a little moved.
Maybe he was just too hot and gave it to her because he was afraid it would be wasted if he couldn't finish it. Otherwise, why would Lu Mingzhou be so nice to her for no reason? This must be the case, Ye Anyu successfully convinced herself.
Ye Anyu took a shower, put on solid-color home clothes, and nestled comfortably on the sofa. Lu Mingzhou had already left before she took a shower. He was always like this, working all year round, always rushing between work.
Ye Anyu thought of her colleagues' evaluation of her, a workaholic. If they saw Lu Mingzhou's appearance, they would probably take back their evaluation of her. After all, when she was working in the company, she could do other things after finishing her work. Many nights, Ye Anyu seemed to be working overtime, but in fact she was just drawing what she liked.
Ye Anyu was holding a cup of hot water, and at this moment, her cell phone on the table lit up.
[An Yu, you always ask, are you and Senior Shi still together?]
[You are working in Senior Shi's company now. Don't you have any other feelings for him?]
[There's something clearly wrong with the way Senior Shi looks at you.]
[And Senior Lu Mingzhou, why did I feel like he was so strange yesterday?]
[And why would a big boss like him insist on sitting at the same table with us... no, you guys?]
…
I know!
Could it be that Wu Yao had noticed the relationship between him and Lu Mingzhou? Ye Anyu's heart tightened.
[Does Senior Lu Mingzhou like Senior Shi Taichu?]
Ye Anyu held her forehead with her hand. Her friend was really imaginative.
【no. 】
[No? Then why? I pondered all night and could only come to this conclusion.]
[I don't know either, maybe they have business dealings.] Ye Anyu was just guessing, otherwise there was no other explanation. Lu Mingzhou definitely wasn't doing it for her.
[That's true. Senior Lu Mingzhou is already married, and based on what he said yesterday, they must be very loving.]
Love? These two words pierced Ye Anyu's heart, and she smiled bitterly.
Ye Anyu opened his Moments and saw the group photo Wu Yao posted yesterday. Before he enlarged the photo, he saw Lu Mingzhou at a glance. He always stood out in the crowd.
Someone commented below
——Ahhh! Is that Senior Lu Mingzhou?
-Yes.
——Why didn’t I go yesterday? Is it too late to regret it now?!
—Of course it’s too late.
…
Continuing to scroll down, most of the students who attended the school anniversary yesterday posted on WeChat Moments, and Lu Mingzhou was always the most eye-catching one. Ye Anyu found the photos of Lu Mingzhou taken by others and clicked to save them to the album.
Scrolling down, Ye Anyu came across someone who hadn't appeared in his circle of friends for a long time.
Lu Xingzhi: [Long time no see.]
The accompanying picture is a photo of Bei'an Airport, which was posted at 4:30 pm yesterday.
Lu Xingzhi disappeared for three years and actually returned to Bei'an.
[Anyu, do you want to meet me?] A message jumped into Ye Anyu's eyes.
Ye Anyu said without hesitation: [Okay.]
Ye Anyu quickly put on her clothes, put on some simple makeup, put on her bag and went out.
The place where Lu Xingzhi made an appointment was a cafe opposite Ming'an Building.
I probably won’t run into Lu Mingzhou. Although it’s very close to his company, Lu Mingzhou should be working in the office at this time.
Ye Anyu pushed open the shop door and walked in. He looked around and saw Lu Xingzhi in a corner. It had been three years since they last met.
Three years ago, the day before their wedding, Lu Xingzhi asked her to meet him. He looked very haggard that day and said nothing. He just said "I'm sorry" and left.
That night, news came that Lu Xingzhi had disappeared.
That day was the most memorable day for Ye Anyu since childhood. In addition to Lu Xingzhi's disappearance, a cat that Ye Anyu had raised since childhood died of natural causes. Ye Anyu burst into tears.
So much so that when she married Lu Mingzhou the next day, even the thick foundation couldn't hide her red and swollen eyes.
Of course, her wedding with Lu Mingzhou was held in secret. After all, the fact that their son had run away from the marriage was a very shameful thing for both the Lu and Ye families.
This is also the reason why Lu Mingzhou tried his best to hide her. Lu Mingzhou was just using her identity to get the help of the Ye family. After all, he was just an illegitimate son of the Lu family.
Things developed just as Lu Mingzhou predicted. After getting help from the Ye family, he owned 20% of the Lu family's shares. He also used this to continuously develop Ming'an Group. After several years of operation, he made Ming'an Group a leader in domestic technology.
Ye Anyu walked up to Lu Xingzhi, who was casually wearing an apricot windbreaker. Unlike the haggard look he had three years ago, he looked energetic and displayed the charm of a mature man.
"Brother Xingzhi." Ye Anyu called out crisply.
After hearing the voice, Lu Xingzhi raised his head and showed Ye Anyu a bright smile: "Here I am."
An Yu sat opposite Lu Xingzhi, wondering why Lu Xingzhi called her out today.
"What would you like to drink?" Lu Xingzhi handed the phone to Ye Anyu, but Ye Anyu didn't take it and said directly, "I want a hot latte."
Lu Xingzhi put his phone away and said with a smile, "Would you like some sugar?"
"Slightly sugary."
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Your taste has changed a bit, Anyu. I remember you liked sweet drinks very much when you were a child." Lu Xingzhi looked up at Ye Anyu.
Ye Anyu smiled and said, "After all, I'm grown up."
"That's right, An Yu is no longer the little girl she used to be."
After saying this, there was only silence in the air.
After a long while, Lu Xingzhi spoke: "An Yu, how have you and Ming Zhou been these past few years?"
Did Lu Xingzhi know that she was married to Lu Mingzhou? He was also one of the parties involved, so of course he knew. Ye Anyu felt that she was still drunk from yesterday, otherwise how could she be so slow.
"fine."
As soon as the words fell, the waiter stood in front of the two people and brought coffee to their table.
"That's good."
"My younger brother has a somewhat cold personality, and I'm worried that you two won't get along." Lu Xingzhi said after taking a sip of coffee.
Ye Anyu was puzzled. Was Lu Xingzhi worried about the two of them? Rumor had it that they had gotten into a heated argument over company equity, with Lu Mingzhou ultimately victorious and Lu Xingzhi, devastated, disappearing.
Hearing Lu Xingzhi's tone, one feels that he and Lu Mingzhou have a pretty good relationship.
Before Ye Anyu could figure it out, Lu Xingzhi continued, "I originally wanted to see Mingzhou today, but unfortunately he had a sudden meeting. Fortunately, you have time." After saying that, Lu Xingzhi smiled.
Ye Anyu did not answer. She stared at Lu Xingzhi in front of her, not understanding what he meant.
In the following time, Lu Xingzhi asked her a lot of questions about her family life, such as what is her current job? What do she like to do in her daily life? And other similar questions.
Even when Ye Anyu returned home, he still didn't understand Lu Xingzhi's intention.
Ye Anyu had just sat down on the sofa when the screen of his mobile phone lit up. It was a message from Wu Yao.
[Anyu, do you want to go out together next weekend? ]
After graduation, Ye Anyu's contact with everyone gradually decreased until she stopped contacting them. After meeting with Wu Yao yesterday, Wu Yao was very enthusiastic and kept chatting with her.
Ye Anyu hadn't gone shopping with her friends for a long time. She hesitated for a moment and finally agreed because she remembered that next weekend was Wu Yao's birthday, October 20th in the Gregorian calendar.
It was less than a month before their three-year wedding anniversary.
They were about to get divorced, so she was thinking about doing more. After the divorce, she might never have any contact with Lu Mingzhou again.
What Lu Mingzhou does to her is none of her business. They are just familiar strangers.
Wait until the last ray of sunset glow is swallowed by darkness, night falls, and a moment later, the city lights illuminate the night.
Ever since meeting Lu Xingzhi during the day, Ye Anyu felt a little uncomfortable. Although he said that he was not worried about Lu Mingzhou, Lu Mingzhou's figure kept reappearing in his mind.
Ye Anyu had no appetite, so she opened the refrigerator and looked inside. Her favorite peaches were there, but they were not there yesterday, which meant that Lu Mingzhou must have bought them before he went out in the morning.
Ye Anyu took one, washed it, and curled up on the sofa, eating a peach while turning on the TV.
Ye Anyu randomly clicked on a TV station, which was broadcasting the news. Ye Anyu looked at the time. It was a little after seven o'clock, which was the time for the news.
Ye Anyu had no habit of watching the news, but Lu Mingzhou liked watching it very much. Ye Anyu did not change the channel. He was just killing time anyway, so it didn't matter what he watched.
"Recently, my country's artificial intelligence technology has broken through bottlenecks and reached a new level of technological advancement. As a leader in my country's science and technology, the Ming'an Group team is an indispensable backbone force..."
Looking at this news, Ye Anyu felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.
After finishing the peach in my hand, the news has also ended.
Ye Anyu looked at the door, feeling a little disappointed. It was empty. Lu Mingzhou was probably coming back very late as usual.
Ye Anyu didn't understand what she was expecting. She threw the peach pit in her hand casually. It hit the trash can with a "bang" and then rolled several times on the ground.
Ye Anyu shook his head, put on his shoes and walked to Taohexin. Just as he stretched out his hand, he heard a "click" at the door.
The next second, a tall figure came into Ye Anyu's sight, and Ye Anyu looked into the person's eyes in an awkward posture.
