Chapter 417: Changing the Bed Sheets
It just so happened that this matter had been a hot topic these past two days, and Lin Youjuan happened to witness this scene with her own eyes today. She couldn't help but feel worried, and a hint of nervousness appeared on her face.
Lu Qingye responded calmly: "No."
Lin Youjuan seemed a little skeptical. She walked over and took a look inside. The bed inside indeed showed no signs of use. Only then did she reluctantly believe what Lu Qingye said.
"Then why did you come out of this room so early in the morning?"
"Come and take a shower." Lu Qingye simply stated the facts without further explanation, then retreated like a gentleman. "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to my room first."
Lu Qingye entered the bedroom, leaving Lin Youjuan alone outside in the corridor. She shook her head and muttered to herself, "Waking up in such a cold weather and taking a shower right away? And even going to the guest room to take a shower...?"
When Lu Qingye returned to the bedroom, Meng Chuyuan had not finished washing yet.
He went to the cloakroom to get a coat, and when he came out he saw the messy bed sheets. Lu Qingye's deep eyes were filled with mixed colors. He put the coat in his hand on the couch and took the time to change the bed sheets.
Not long after, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Meng Chuyuan washed her hair as well, which took a little longer. She thought Lu Qingye had already gone to the company, but when she came out, she saw him changing the bed sheets alone.
He took off the old sheets, but hadn't put on new ones yet.
Lu Qingye had never done this before, so he specially studied how to change it.
"Why are you still here? Aren't you going to the company today?"
Hearing Meng Chuyuan's voice coming from behind him, Lu Qingye turned to look at her.
Meng Chuyuan's wet hair was wrapped in a hair drying cap and she was wearing a thick bathrobe. Perhaps because she had stayed in the bathroom for too long, her face was flushed. Her skin looked smoother and whiter after taking a bath.
Lu Qingye was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the bed sheet in his hand, his expression slightly at a loss. "Go, I'll change the bed sheet and leave."
He knew that if he didn't take care of this matter, Meng Chuyuan would probably have to work alone later.
"Let me do it." Meng Chuyuan walked up to Lu Qingye, took the bed sheet from his hand, and quickly replaced it with a new one.
After everything was done, Lu Qingye picked up his coat and put it on.
Lu Qingye stood in front of her, lowered his head, pressed his warm lips against her forehead, and said gently, "Then I'll leave."
"Well, go ahead." Meng Chuyuan reached out to straighten his coat and blurted out, "Be careful on the road."
Lu Qingye stood there without moving or speaking, with a hint of disappointment between his brows.
Seeing him like this, Meng Chuyuan realized that what she said was too monotonous, so she added nonchalantly: "Also, wait for you to come back."
After she finished speaking, she finally saw Lu Qingye raise the corner of his mouth.
With a smile in his eyes, he responded in a low voice: "Okay."
…
When Lu Qingye came to the company, everyone saw that he looked radiant, but they seemed to feel that something was wrong.
He had clearly worked overtime with everyone else last night, but the others looked as wilted as eggplants hit by frost. Only he was completely different, as if he had encountered something happy, and his face looked much better.
Colleagues from other departments came over to gossip quietly: "Excuse me, did Mr. Lu really work overtime with you guys last night? How come he's in such good spirits?"
"It's true. Mr. Lu didn't leave the company until almost eleven o'clock last night."
"Oh my God...isn't this too late?"
Jiang Yi happened to be passing by the tea room and heard several colleagues chatting. He came over curiously and said, "What were you talking about just now? Tell me about it."
