Chapter 187: Sleeping Restlessly
Her hair was a little messy as she had just woken up. She had a pair of big, watery eyes under her long eyelashes, and the upturned corners of her eyes brought a hint of smile.
During the few seconds when he looked at Meng Chuyuan, his pupils seemed to be infinitely dilated, and his mind followed the scene in front of him. It was not until Meng Chuyuan moved slightly and wanted to get up that Lu Qingye's thoughts were brought back.
His hand moved down, pulled up the quilt at Meng Chuyuan's shoulders, and covered her back. His Adam's apple rolled gently, and his voice was magnetic and gentle: "Then you sleep for a while, I'm going to the company."
Meng Chuyuan lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the fair and slender hand at the edge of the quilt, half of which was hidden under the quilt. Her gaze was focused on the silver ring, and her expression revealed an emotion that was difficult to understand.
After a while, she slowly raised her eyes, and said in a soft voice with a hint of laziness: "I'm hungry. I want to eat something before going to sleep."
"Oh." Lu Qingye immediately loosened the quilt, let go of his hand, stood up, and the shadow cast on Meng Chuyuan also disappeared.
When Meng Chuyuan lifted the quilt and stood up, Lu Qingye squatted down, found her slippers and placed them under her feet.
"Are you in a hurry? If not, let's eat something together." Meng Chuyuan put on her shoes, raised her hand to smooth her hair back, and looked up at Lu Qingye.
He was just about to go out and hadn't said anything when he heard Meng Chuyuan asking him to stay for breakfast. Their eyes met and he didn't hesitate much and nodded in agreement.
She patted her face and said leisurely, "Wait a moment, I'll wash up."
Meng Chuyuan finished washing up and went downstairs. Lu Qingye was sitting on the sofa in the hall, holding a computer in one hand and working seriously with his head down.
Seeing that he had something to deal with, Meng Chuyuan deliberately bypassed the hall and went to the kitchen. He steamed some corn and eggs for breakfast, made a plate of milk muffins, and prepared hot milk.
Just as Meng Chuyuan brought the food to the table, Lu Jinsen also came down the stairs dressed neatly.
Seeing that Lu Qingye was wearing formal clothes but didn't go out and was still sitting calmly in the living room, Lu Jinsen's pupils showed a hint of surprise: "Brother, why are you still dressed like this at home?"
The next second, it wasn't Lu Qingye who answered him, but Meng Chuyuan's voice came from the restaurant: "Breakfast is ready."
"..." Lu Jinsen was just wondering whether Lu Qingye would not go to the company today, but when he saw Meng Chuyuan like that, he seemed to understand something.
Without waiting for the couple to invite him to have breakfast, Lu Jinsen tactfully said, "I'm going to work."
After saying that, he left in disgrace.
Seeing that Lu Jinsen left in a hurry, Meng Chuyuan didn't have a chance to talk to him. At this time, Lu Qingye had closed the computer, then walked over and sat opposite Meng Chuyuan, having breakfast with her.
Meng Chuyuan was holding half a corn in his hand and eating it slowly, while Lu Qingye took an egg, cracked the eggshell gently on the table, and peeled the shell carelessly.
He peeled the egg in his hand and then handed it to Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan was still chewing corn kernels. When she saw the egg in front of her, she looked up in astonishment and said incoherently, "For me?"
"Well, take it."
She raised her hand to take the egg from Lu Qingye's hand, "Thank you."
The company didn't know about his return, so Lu Qingye simply slowed down and waited until he had breakfast before going out.
He picked up another egg, this time peeling it for himself. While peeling the shell, he lazily raised his eyes, looked at Meng Chuyuan, and whispered, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good." Meng Chuyuan nodded slightly, and also politely asked him: "How about you? Have you adjusted to the time difference?"
Thinking of the scene last night, Lu Qingye's expression paused, then he pretended to be calm and said: "Not bad."
He stayed in the study all night last night, finished his work, and then took a nap in his office chair.
"It's okay..." Meng Chuyuan repeated what he had just said, thinking carefully: "It's not so good."
She finished the corn in her hand and was about to take a bite of the egg when she said lightly, "I forgot to tell you, I don't sleep well."
Hearing this, Lu Qingye looked over calmly and saw that she was as calm as usual, without any embarrassment at all.
She specially got a new quilt last night and covered herself with it to prevent herself from losing consciousness while sleeping and taking advantage of the other person.
This is strange. She usually has a light sleep, but she didn't notice when Lu Qingye woke up. She thought it might be because the cold weather made it easier for her to sleep.
Meng Chuyuan asked, "I shouldn't have done anything excessive to you, right?"
He responded softly, "No."
——
In the afternoon, Lu Qianling went back home on purpose.
Because Lu Jinsen told her the news that Lu Qingye had returned to China, she rushed back immediately after waking up and didn't even have lunch.
Lu Qianling had just arrived home when she ran into Meng Chuyuan, who was leisurely painting in the pavilion. She walked over and sat down next to him, her expression slightly gossipy: "Did my eldest brother come back last night?"
"You're quite well-informed."
"That's right." Lu Qianling patted her chest and said smugly, "I also heard that you kicked my eldest brother out of his room in the middle of the night. Is that true?"
Meng Chuyuan was painting the scenery in the courtyard. When he heard what Lu Qianling had just said, his hand couldn't help but tremble. He dipped the brush into the wrong paint on the palette and accidentally dyed the white paint green.
She frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Who told you that?"
What do you mean she kicked Lu Qingye out?
Before going to bed, she clearly helped Lu Qingye get a pillow and quilt, and spread them out for him.
"No?" Lu Qianling scratched her head, her eyes filled with confusion. "Shouldn't it be? Second brother wouldn't lie to me, would he?"
"Did he tell you?" Meng Chuyuan curled his lips, his expression revealing disgust.
She didn't see Lu Jinsen the whole night yesterday, but she did run into him in the living room when she woke up this morning. However, he seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry.
"Yes, he told me that he came home in the middle of the night last night and ran into my eldest brother in the corridor. He came out of his room and went straight to the study. Didn't you chase him out?"
Meng Chuyuan's eyes were deep, with a complex expression. He said calmly, "That bedroom belongs to your eldest brother. If anyone wants to evict me, he should be the one to evict me."
However, when Lu Qianling suddenly mentioned this, Meng Chuyuan realized that Lu Qingye had gotten up and left the bedroom last night.
No wonder when she woke up and saw Lu Qingye today, he had dark circles under his eyes, and when she asked him how he slept, he seemed to hesitate.
"It seems so... I was the one who let you move in in the first place." Lu Qianling chuckled twice and said through gritted teeth, "Second brother has learned bad habits and started to spread rumors about others."
