Chapter 91 The Fallen White Moonlight Returns Home 5
Lu Baichi collected his thoughts and quietly left the room.
"Mr. Lu." The assistant, who was still tidying up in the living room with the housekeeper who had rushed over, greeted him politely when he came out.
Lu Baichi read out a series of names and said calmly, "No matter what method we use, we must shut them up. Not a single word about his return can be spread within the group or throughout Kyoto."
The assistant readily agreed, "Then Mr. Lu, I'll head back now. You and your partner should enjoy your time together."
Lu Baichi is a clean freak, so whether in the office or at home, every corner within sight must be spotless.
The apartment was unusually dirty and messy today. The housekeeper was mopping the floor while sneaking peeks while wiping her sweat, but she found that Lu Baichi did not seem to be angry at all.
The man walked to the edge of the carpet, his tall figure squatted down, picked up the pair of furry slippers that had been kicked upside down, and, thinking no one had seen him, patted the grinning cat head on the slippers before silently returning to his room.
The housekeeper sighed as she mopped the floor, "Tsk tsk tsk."
At ten o'clock the next morning, Xie Rong got out of bed, rubbing his slightly throbbing temples.
He went downstairs and saw Lu Baichi cracking eggs in the kitchen.
Even wealthy people can't understand this, Xie Rong felt a surge of malice in his heart.
Even with money, he couldn't shake off the poor, wretched air he had when he was an orphan; he deserved his revenge.
Why didn't you go to work?
Lu Baichi turned to look at him, "After you get up and have breakfast, we'll go together."
Xie Rong pursed her lips: "Oh."
“It will be ready soon,” Lu Baichi paused, “If you’re bored, there’s a gift for you on the coffee table, you can go take a look.”
Xie Rong walked to the living room and caught a glimpse of several gift boxes neatly arranged on the coffee table.
He opened the first one.
They were a pair of shiny, brand-new leather shoes, a brand that Xie Rong used to really like.
Xie Rong tried it on, and it fit perfectly.
He opened the second one.
It is a watch with a long, thin silver strap.
[Host, this is the same news we saw at the bus stop the day before yesterday! He was actually glancing at your phone, how naughty!]
Xie Rong put the watch on her slender, snow-white wrist, placing it next to the bracelet that the blond man had given her abroad. She stared at it with bright pupils, looking back and forth, a slight smile curving her lips.
Xie Rong slowly opened the third gift box.
They are a pair of diamond stud earrings.
I'd say I barely like it.
Xie Rong ran back to the bathroom in her fluffy slippers, making a clattering sound, and put them on in front of the mirror.
He stared at himself in the mirror, slowly stroking his cheek, the slight curve of his lips gradually drooping, and a cold light emanating from his pupils.
Do you think that giving him a little charity or pity will make him willing?
"Do you like it?" Lu Baichi appeared at the doorway without anyone noticing.
Xie Rong looked at him in the mirror and said, "I'm hungry."
“The noodles are ready,” Lu Baichi said, taking a few steps closer and taking his hand.
Xie Rong glanced at their clasped hands but did not react.
Not being rejected, Lu Baichi tightened his grip and led the person to the dining table.
Xie Rong eats very slowly, especially noodles.
First, blow a few breaths into the noodle, then take small bites, and finally slurp up the little tail of the noodle.
"Why aren't you eating?" Xie Rong glanced at him.
“You eat first,” Lu Baichi said, looking at him.
Xie Rong ate a third of the food, put down her chopsticks, and Lu Baichi took the bowl from her with a normal expression and handed it over.
Xie Rong scoffed lightly.
“Before, you pitied me for being an orphan and would always save your leftovers for me,” Lu Baichi swallowed the noodles in his mouth and looked up. “Don’t you remember?”
Xie Rong frowned and thought about it very hard.
That seems to be the case, but he clearly treated Lu Baichi like a beggar, humiliating him in front of everyone.
He never intended to be anyone's "white moonlight" at first, and he always thought that Lu Baichi's confession to him was just part of the plot.
Lu Baichi really knows how to flatter himself.
That's true. Now that our status is different, we naturally have to put the past in a more positive light.
“I remember now,” Xie Rong said, resting her chin on her hand with a sweet smile and an innocent tone, “we used to have a dog at home, and I used to feed it like this every day. It got into my habit, and I feed you like this at school too. Don’t mind it.”
Lu Baichi stopped talking and just buried his head in his noodles, his ear tips turning slightly red.
Her boyfriend has gone astray during the years he's been abroad; he even makes flirtatious jokes in broad daylight.
Xie Rong gave a smug hum.
He's probably too angry to speak.
...
The president of the Lu Group has his office on the top floor of the group's building.
Xie Rong was preoccupied with what he needed to do, so while Lu Baichi was in a meeting, he started rummaging through Lu Baichi's office.
Outside the office.
"Mr. Gu, you can't go in!"
"I heard that Lu Baichi secretly brought a mistress home, and even took her with him? What, is he so ashamed to be seen like this?" The man's facial features were too sharp, and his eye sockets were deep-set, but fortunately, his nonchalant attitude softened this sharpness.
The assistant, recalling Lu Baichi's instructions, felt utterly overwhelmed.
The Lu and Gu families have been at odds for many years, but in business there are no permanent enemies. Rather than fighting to the death in a certain field, it is better for the two to share the profits.
We had clearly agreed to discuss the cooperation tomorrow, but I don't know where this Mr. Gu heard the rumors from, he actually came here to watch the show now.
"Get out of the way," Gu Yuyan said, his eyes narrowing, exuding an aura that suggested he was not to be trifled with.
He's determined to go in today and catch Lu Baichi with evidence of having a mistress.
Only five years had passed, and he couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.
A man who can't even keep himself pure, let's see how he can compete with me when that ancestor comes back.
They even pretend to be virtuous men who are deeply in love and waiting for each other all day long, which is truly disgusting.
Gu Yuyan was a strong and muscular man; how could a mere assistant possibly stop him?
He kicked open the office door, strode in, and his cold gaze swept around the room before finally settling on a certain spot.
Beside the locker, a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs were kneeling. The owner of these legs had her upper body inside the locker, her slender waist bent, and she was rummaging through something.
Small leather shoes, white knee-high socks, and long, glossy black hair that reaches her waist.
Every striking feature of this young lover was so familiar it was almost blinding, so familiar that when he glanced at him just now, he almost mistook him for someone else, and for a moment he thought it was the person who had heartlessly abandoned them for five years who had returned.
Gu Yuyan's resentment deepened.
Lu Baichi... How dare Lu Baichi insult him like that?!
That damn bitch, how dare she find a body double!
Gu Yuyan walked over, kicked the other person's shiny leather shoes, and even deliberately left a shoe print on them.
"Hey, you're Lu the idiot's lover?" the man said in an unfriendly tone. "Don't think you're worthy of this outfit just because you're wearing it."
The person in front of him ignored him.
Gu Yuyan's fiery temper flared instantly, and he kicked the little leather shoe again, "Are you deaf or stupid?"
