Chapter 43 Chapter 43 In the afterglow of the setting sun, she was...
Ming'an Building, Mu Tianhe arrived at the company on time. When he passed by the door of Lu Mingzhou's office next door, he saw that it was dark inside.
Lu Mingzhou is a workaholic. It is well known that he is usually in the office except for meeting time. But how could he not know if there is a meeting starting early in the morning?
"Hello, Mr. Mu." Assistant Liao had just returned from getting water from the hot water dispenser.
Mu Tianhe pointed to the dark office and asked, "What meeting did Mr. Lu attend so early in the morning?"
"Meeting? Mr. Lu doesn't have a meeting today." Assistant Liao said.
"Then where did he go?" At this time, Mu Tianhe still didn't expect that Lu Mingzhou had taken a leave today.
"Mr. Mu, Mr. Lu has asked for leave today." Assistant Liao responded after realizing what was happening. It was no wonder that Mr. Mu asked this. Since he became Mr. Lu's assistant, Mr. Lu had never asked for leave.
"I'm asking for leave. Oh, okay."
"What? Asking for leave!" Mu Tianhe was stunned, with an incredible look on his face.
Mu Tianhe walked over to Assistant Liao and asked, "Why did Mr. Lu suddenly ask for leave? Did he give a reason?"
Assistant Liao shook his head and said, "Boss Lu just said he had some personal matters to attend to today."
There was some personal matter to deal with. What kind of personal matter could make this workaholic take such a rare leave? Mu Tianhe was very curious for a moment.
Mu Tianhe took out his phone, opened WeChat and sent a message: [I heard that you took a day off today because you had some personal matters to attend to.]
What personal matters are more important to you than work?
[How come I don’t know about your private affairs? ]
What is this private matter?
Mu Tianhe typed a bunch of messages and sent them, but there was no reply.
Half an hour passed and there was still no reply.
Two hours passed and still no response.
…
Mu Tianhe thought to himself: What kind of private matter is this? He scratched his head curiously.
Then I made a direct call, but no one answered and I hung up.
I called again, but still no one answered.
…
The next day at work, Mu Tianhe passed by Lu Mingzhou's office door as usual. As usual, the lights in the office were on. Considering that he only received a perfunctory reply yesterday, he decided to question him in person, oh, no, to ask him in person.
"Knock, knock, knock—" Mu Tianhe knocked on the door very politely.
After hearing the knock on the door, the person inside simply replied: "Come in."
When Mu Tianhe pushed the door open and walked in, Lu Mingzhou didn't even raise his head.
At the same time, Mu Tianhe noticed that Lu Mingzhou was very abnormal today. He was staring at his phone and grinning foolishly, with an expression like a little boy who had just fallen in love.
Mu Tianhe walked behind Lu Mingzhou, ready to see what Lu Mingzhou was looking at that made him so happy.
Mu Tianhe put his hand on Lu Mingzhou's shoulder. As soon as he touched Lu Mingzhou, he turned his phone over in an instant as if he was electrocuted. If you didn't know, you would think he was looking at something shameful.
I should have known not to put my arm around his shoulder. It was a quick pass, and Mu Tianhe didn't see the content on the phone clearly. He said, "Mingzhou, what are you looking at? You're so cautious."
Lu Mingzhou said: "It has nothing to do with you."
Mu Tianhe continued: "What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? As your best friend, it really hurts my heart to say that."
Lu Mingzhou had long been accustomed to Mu Tianhe's behavior and ignored him, saying, "Don't disturb my work."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. You can look at whatever you want." Mu Tianhe sat on the sofa in the office.
Mu Tianhe pretended to be angry and said, "Mingzhou, why didn't you answer my call yesterday?"
"Something." A brief reply.
Mu Tianhe continued to ask: "What personal matter is so important that you didn't even come to the company? Is this company just yours?"
Lu Mingzhou raised his head and glared at Mu Tianhe, who instantly shut up. After a few seconds, he continued, "Okay, okay, you're the boss, you have the final say."
"What personal matter made you ask for leave?" Mu Tianhe continued to ask without giving up.
There was no other sound in the office except the sound of Lu Mingzhou typing on the keyboard. Well, it seems that Lu Mingzhou is not going to say anything.
Mu Tianhe had no choice but to give up. After all, as long as Lu Mingzhou didn't want to say it, no one could force him.
It doesn't matter, he will ask one day.
"Then I'll be leaving first." Mu Tianhe had just stepped to the office door when he heard Lu Mingzhou's voice from behind: "An Yu is not feeling well."
"What?" Mu Tianhe felt that he had heard it wrong, or Lu Mingzhou had said it wrong.
Of course, the only response he got was silence. Mu Tianhe repeated, "You said An Yu..." Lu Mingzhou raised his head and rolled his eyes at him. Mu Tianhe immediately changed the subject, "You said your sister-in-law wasn't feeling well."
Lu Mingzhou nodded.
It turned out that he had heard correctly. Mu Tianhe stared at Lu Mingzhou in disbelief and asked in confusion: "I know you are married, but when did your relationship with your sister-in-law become so good? She was not feeling well, and you actually took leave to take care of her."
After saying this, Lu Mingzhou raised his head and rolled his eyes at him again.
If Mu Tianhe knew what Lu Mingzhou meant by feeling uncomfortable, he would definitely not ask such an idiotic question.
"It can't be a serious illness." Mu Tianhe guessed.
"You are the one who is seriously ill." Lu Mingzhou looked cold.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving." Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Lu Mingzhou, Mu Tianhe had to give up and left the office with an angry step.
Although he couldn't get anything out of Lu Mingzhou, he had his brother and sister-in-law's WeChat, so he could ask her!
Thinking of this, Mu Tianhe immediately took out his phone from his pocket, opened the WeChat chat box, and typed: [Sister-in-law, how are you now? ]
Ye Anyu was bewildered when he received the message. What happened? Ye Anyu replied: [Ah?]
Mu Tianhe: [Didn’t Mingzhou ask for leave yesterday? He said you weren’t feeling well.]
I see.
However, Ye Anyu's physical discomfort was not in the traditional sense. Thinking of this, Ye Anyu's cheeks turned red instantly.
She replied: [It’s okay, I’m feeling much better now.]
Mu Tianhe advised: [That's fine, sister-in-law. If you feel unwell in the future, you must tell Mingzhou and let Mingzhou take good care of you at home.]
Ye Anyu: o(╯□╰)o
…
I don’t know what Lu Mingzhou said to others.
Afterwards, Ye Anyu received a message from the project leader, Chen Lingyu: "Anyu, I've seen your clarification, and President Lu has also told us, so you can continue to come to work at the company tomorrow."
The police station has not yet completely handled the matter and the results have not been announced. Ye Anyu originally thought that he would need to stay at home for a few more days, but he didn't expect to be able to go to work so soon.
After thinking for a while, Ye Anyu opened Lu Mingzhou's dialog box: [Brother, Team Leader Chen said I can go to work tomorrow.]
Lu Mingzhou replied quickly: [Yes.]
Finally, considering that the results have not come out yet, for the sake of the company and his own reputation, Ye Anyu still plans to wait until the results are out before going to the company.
Ye Anyu: [Thank you.]
Lu Mingzhou: [Will you be bored at home alone?]
Ye Anyu originally wanted to send it, not boring at all, but in the end, she deleted the words she had entered and re-entered: [Hmm, a bit boring.]
In fact, Ye Anyu had long been accustomed to being alone.
After sending this message, Ye Anyu didn't receive a reply for a long time. She thought that it might be because Lu Mingzhou was very busy and had no time to reply to her.
A moment later, Ye Anyu received a link. She clicked on it and found a travel guide.
It turned out that Lu Mingzhou had just gone to look for a strategy guide.
Lu Mingzhou: [These places look pretty good.]
Ye Anyu carefully browsed the recommendations on the website. She had indeed not been to many of the places. She replied: "Yes, thank you, brother."
A few minutes later, looking at Lu Mingzhou's reply, Ye Anyu sent another message as if possessed by a ghost: [Brother, when will you get off work tonight?]
A few seconds later, Ye Anyu received a reply: [I get off work at 6 o'clock and can be home at 6:30.]
6 o'clock is the normal working time for Ming'an Group.
Ye Anyu: [Okay.]
Ye Anyu didn't want to disturb Lu Mingzhou's work anymore, so she stopped sending messages. Ye Anyu looked at the travel guide sent by Lu Mingzhou, and after choosing for a long time, she chose a park closest to Ming'an Building. She planned to go for a stroll, and at the same time she had some little thoughts.
It was almost noon when Ye Anyu arrived at the park. She found a restaurant near the park to have lunch and then took a walk in the park.
However, she forgot one fatal problem: the park was too cold in winter.
After strolling for a while, Ye Anyu's face turned red from the cold. Finally, she had to find a bookstore, picked up a book at random, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat in the store to read.
Since it was a book that Ye Anyu was quite interested in, she read it very carefully. When she read the last page, the sun had already slipped from the center of the sky to the west.
Ye Anyu stretched and looked at the time. It was already 5:30 in the afternoon. She immediately opened her cell phone and clicked on Lu Mingzhou's dialog box.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Anyu typed: [Brother, do you pass by Tiande Plaza when you get off work?]
The other party immediately replied: [I should be passing by, what's wrong? ]
Of course he would pass by here. Ye Anyu came here just because he calculated it carefully.
Ye Anyu: [Can you pick me up for a bit? ]
Ye Anyu deliberately did not drive and took the subway instead.
Lu Mingzhou: [Are you at Tiande Plaza?]
Ye Anyu: [Yes.]
Lu Mingzhou: [Okay, wait for me.]
Thinking that Lu Mingzhou would come to pick her up later, Ye Anyu couldn't help but laugh. This was something she had dreamed of since she was a child.
When she was a child, she saw on TV that married couples always had husbands picking up and dropping off their wives, and this made people feel very happy.
Unfortunately, Ye Anyu had never dared to ask for it before.
But now, perhaps this thing can become a reality.
After Lu Mingzhou sent a message saying that he would be there soon, Ye Anyu returned the books, packed up his things and walked out of the bookstore.
As the sun sets, the sunset glows a beautiful orange-red color on the end of the sky. Seeing that Lu Mingzhou has not arrived yet, Ye Anyu takes out his mobile phone, points it at the sunset glow on the horizon, and with a "click", freezes the beautiful scene in the camera.
This was the scene Lu Mingzhou saw when he drove to the bookstore. Ye Anyu was wearing a gray coat, a pure white scarf around her neck, her long hair spread out, and she was holding a mobile phone in both hands.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, she was glowing all over.
What a beautiful scene! For a moment, Lu Mingzhou was stunned until a clear and piercing whistle sounded, and then Lu Mingzhou reacted.
Lu Mingzhou called out, "An Yu."
At that moment, the girl suddenly turned her head and a big smile rushed into his eyes.
