Chapter 128 So it's a double affair?
The air froze instantly.
Huo Siyue suddenly pinched her philtrum.
Oxygen! We need oxygen!
My brother got cheated on?
No, my brother never intended to marry her.
So it's a double affair?
Or rather, a love marriage between two people who are free to choose each other?
The amount of information in the melon patch was so overwhelming that her CPU almost overheated.
Lu Zhuo looked up and saw the three people in the elevator, and paused.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Lu Zhuo spoke first, then gave a sly smile.
His gaze swept over Yan Tingnan and Su Ruan's clasped hands, and his smile deepened.
Lin Yiyao's cheeks flushed, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously shrank behind Lu Zhuo, not daring to look at Yan Tingnan.
"Brother, Miss Su, Siyue."
Her voice was weak, and there was an obvious sense of guilt in it.
"morning."
Yan Tingnan remained expressionless, only lifting his eyelids to glance indifferently at the cat carrier in Lu Zhuo's hand and the ambiguous mark on Lin Yiyao's neck.
He nodded slightly: "Mm."
Su Ruan responded guiltily, instinctively trying to pull her hand away from Yan Tingnan's grasp.
The moment her fingertips moved, he gripped her even tighter, his knuckles weaving into hers, their fingers interlocking perfectly.
Lu Zhuo chuckled softly and pulled Lin Yiyao into the elevator.
The space suddenly felt cramped.
Lin Yiyao huddled behind Lu Zhuo, not daring to look up.
The elevator doors finally closed and continued descending.
In the cramped space, the smell of cigarettes on Lu Zhuo and the faint fragrance on Lin Yiyao intertwined.
Huo Siyue glanced at the pair of wild lovers on her left and the real couple on her right.
A chaotic scene!
It's a living hell!
The plush toy in the flight case let out a weak meow.
Huo Siyue immediately found a breakthrough and forcefully livened up the atmosphere.
"This plush toy is in really good condition!"
"Lu Zhuo, is this your new pet?"
Lu Zhuo gave a lazy smirk: "It's a gift."
His gaze swept meaningfully over Lin Yiyao beside him.
"Oh, has Young Master Lu changed his ways? Starting to take the considerate route?"
Huo Siyue raised an eyebrow.
"If I like it, I'll give it to you."
Lu Zhuo answered casually, but stepped slightly in front of Lin Yiyao to block her view.
Lin Yiyao's ears turned bright red instantly, and she twisted her fingers tightly around the hem of her skirt.
Huo Siyue gasped, her eyes darting frantically between Lu Zhuo and Lin Yiyao.
What a dream collaboration!
Are all the shippers I'm shipping going to be popping up everywhere?
Yan Tingnan suddenly spoke.
"Nice coat color."
"Wild by nature?"
Lu Zhuo chuckled and raised his hand to rub the back of his neck.
"Looks cute, but it hurts a lot when you scratch it."
Lin Yiyao's ear tips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Yan Tingnan nodded.
Keep a close eye on them.
Don't scare me.
"nature."
Lu Zhuo stepped aside, subtly blocking Lin Yiyao.
bite--
The elevator arrives at the underground parking garage.
The moment the door slid open, Lu Zhuo was the first to step out, carrying the cat carrier.
"They're gone."
He didn't turn around, but instead grabbed Lin Yiyao's wrist and gently led her out of the elevator.
Lin Yiyao staggered half a step, almost running to catch up, as if she were running away.
Huo Siyue held her breath until the two people were far away before she suddenly let out a big gasp.
"Holy crap!"
She grabbed Su Ruan's arm.
"Lu Zhuo, Lin Yiyao, they..."
Yan Tingnan glanced at her.
"You, get in the car."
Huo Siyue immediately fell silent, crouched down and crawled into the passenger seat, peering out the window with wide eyes.
Yan Tingnan opened the back door and helped Su Ruanding into the car.
Lu Zhuo's headlights flashed twice before he sped away.
The taillights were scarlet, like a victory flag.
Huo Siyue turned her little head and screamed softly.
"Brother! Has the marriage alliance fallen through?!"
Yan Tingnan looked at her in the rearview mirror.
You talked too much today.
Huo Siyue pulled her neck back, her mouth still moving.
"Brother, don't pretend. Look at the scratches on Lu Zhuo's neck and how Yao Yao dodged him."
"I'd write my name backwards if nothing happened!"
The car fell silent for a moment.
Su Ruan gazed out the car window at the direction where the taillights had long since disappeared, her heart stirred slightly.
Lu Zhuo and Lin Yiyao actually ended up together?
Everything went so smoothly, as if it were a road that had already been paved.
Was her vague suggestion earlier a lucky accident?
She turned her head to look at Yan Tingnan.
His profile was cold and hard, seemingly unsurprised by what had just happened.
So calm.
She suddenly remembered the idea for breaking the deadlock that she had mentioned to Yan Tingnan yesterday.
He said at the time that some pieces had already been placed.
Could it be...?
Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat.
An absurd guess popped into his mind: Had he already planned this move against Lu Zhuo?
Perhaps even before she speaks?
Su Ruan pursed her lips, temporarily suppressing her questions.
In any case, it seems that this deadlock of marriage is about to be broken.
Yan Tingnan first took Huo Siyue to the company.
As soon as the car came to a stop, she jumped out in a hurry and peeked through the window, winking and making faces at Su Ruan.
"Sister, let's talk in detail on WeChat tonight. I need to know all the details!"
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Silence returned to the car.
The Phantom rejoined the traffic and headed towards the SoftVoice studio.
Su Ruan looked out the window and suddenly spoke.
"You don't need to pick me up today."
"I'm going back to my own place for a few days."
Yan Tingnan turned to look at her, his gaze deep and calm.
"Seeking peace and quiet?"
"To avoid suspicion."
"After two days of chaos, I'm afraid that when I open the door tomorrow, it will be Lin Xuqiu or your old man standing at the door."
"If there's a third wave, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up the act."
Yan Tingnan chuckled softly and squeezed her small hand.
"You think my acting was bad?"
"President Yan's acting skills are top-notch, and he can control his emotions perfectly."
She raised an eyebrow.
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the performance."
These two performances, especially this morning, were so shocking that she needs time to process them.
Yan Tingnan gently stroked the calluses on her tiger's mouth with his fingertips, his eyes silently churning with hidden emotions.
Lu Zhuo has succeeded; the game is now in motion.
The next two weeks will be the real bloodbath.
The old man had spies everywhere, and Lin Xuqiu was eyeing him covetously.
One wrong step, and the whole game is lost.
"OK."
His prompt answer surprised Su Ruan.
"To give you a breather."
"I'll be very busy in the next few days."
"I might not have time to contact you."
"With President Yan being so straightforward, I actually feel a little uneasy."
She hooked her fingertips around his tie and gave it a gentle tug.
"Could he be plotting something bad?"
Yan Tingnan let her pull him along, leaning closer.
"bad?"
He lowered his voice.
"Ruan Ruan, I've already done the worst things to you."
"Right now, I just want you to rest well and recharge your energy."
"The marriage alliance will be cancelled after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
He suddenly spoke, his voice slow and deliberate, as if making a promise.
Su Ruan was taken aback and looked up at him.
"What's the meaning?"
He leaned down, his nose almost touching hers, their breaths mingling.
"Then we won't have to hide anymore."
"No one in heaven or on earth can stop me from taking you openly and honestly."
Su Ruan felt a slight tightness in her chest.
Are you sure?
"I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."
"Especially things that concern you."
Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat.
There was a hidden meaning in his words.
It was like a preview, or perhaps some kind of arrangement that she couldn't touch for the time being.
"Yan Tingnan, didn't you already..."
"Soft."
Yan Tingnan interrupted her.
"Some things are safer to not know."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"So, just wait patiently for me to close the net."
Su Ruan's words were stuck in her throat.
He longed to keep her by his side at all times.
These fifteen days are crucial for the final operation; there can be no mistakes.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions back to the frozen bottom of the lake.
The car came to a smooth stop downstairs at the SoftVoice studio.
Yan Tingnan turned to the side and gently tidied the slightly messy strands of hair at her temples, his movements meticulous.
"Let's go up."
His voice softened.
"Eat on time and avoid cold drinks."
Su Ruan nodded, but her voice softened.
"knew."
Be careful.
After saying that, she got out of the car.
Inside the car, Yan Tingnan took off his glasses and rubbed his temples.
Watching that slender figure grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil churning in his chest.
Fifteen more days won't make a difference.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival moon is full, the dust will settle.
He will announce to everyone that Su Ruan is his only choice.
Anyone who tries to stop them will die.
