Chapter 33 You're a Little Different Today
"I'm taking care of something."
"What business do you have? Aren't you coming back tonight?"
Shen Qianyu's heart skipped a beat; she was really not suited to lying.
"It's not convenient to say."
"When did you start having secrets from me?"
In Shen Qianyu's view, Lu Xiuyuan had an aggressive feeling, and she suddenly didn't know how to answer his question.
"Qianyu, didn't you say that no matter what happened, you would never leave me?"
Shen Qianyu's heart skipped a beat again.
"Yes, I made a promise to you when you were in trouble, saying that I would never leave you no matter what."
Lu Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, just remember it. I hope you'll remember it for the rest of your life."
Shen Qianyu didn't know how to answer.
She never dreamed that one day Lu Xiuyuan would marry another woman and use a fake certificate to fool her.
If she had known, she would never have said such a thing.
"Let's go out for dinner together tonight."
Shen Qianyu was flustered, never expecting him to make this request. Her body was actually able to, but she just couldn't last too long.
After thinking it over, Shen Qianyu agreed so that he wouldn't find out.
"OK."
When it's time to separate, Shen Qianyu will think of another way.
Lu Xiuyuan seemed very happy. "I'll have my secretary reserve the location and send you the address later."
"good."
Shen Qianyu had just hung up the phone when Fu Yanci called back.
"Mr. Fu."
Shen Qianyu answered the phone and immediately called out.
Are you busy tonight?
Shen Qianyu was taken aback, not expecting Fu Yanci to bring it up at this time.
"I know you're not feeling well, so I won't take up too much of your time. Didn't you say you'd take me shopping? We can have a meal together first, and then go shopping together, what do you think?"
Shen Qianyu had rejected Fu Yanci before, so she felt embarrassed to refuse him again.
If Fu Yanci had called earlier, Shen Qianyu would not have refused.
Perhaps because she hadn't spoken, Fu Yanci understood something: "Do you have something to do tonight?"
Shen Qianyu spoke frankly: "President Fu, just a few seconds ago, if you had been even a little bit earlier, I would have agreed to your request. I'm sorry, I..."
"fine."
Shen Qianyu clearly heard the disappointed voice from the other end.
"I'll wait for you. I'm free these nights. You can call me anytime you're done."
"good."
Hearing him say that put Shen Qianyu at ease. Whenever she had even a little free time in the next couple of days, she would call him.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qianyu asked Aunt Meng to apply more medicine before going to bed.
Around 6 p.m., Lu Xiuyuan called her and asked if she needed him to pick her up. Shen Qianyu quickly said no, she would go back by herself.
She didn't tell Lu Xiuyuan these things, firstly because it was unnecessary, and secondly because living here was quite nice. Although it looked like she had been exiled to the frontier, at least she could finally have some peace and quiet while sleeping alone in such a big house.
Shen Qianyu called a ride-hailing service to pick her up.
When they arrived at the destination, Lu Xiuyuan was already there.
He seemed to have dressed up specially today, wearing a short trench coat and jeans, which was completely different from his usual CEO style, which surprised Shen Qianyu.
"They're here."
Lu Xiuyuan had a smile on his face.
Shen Qianyu felt that he gave her a different feeling today. Thinking about what he had said to her before, Shen Qianyu was worried that he already knew that she was going to leave.
"Hmm, you look a little different today."
Shen Qianyu sat down, trying to appear normal, not wanting him to see her injured back.
"Yeah?"
Lu Xiuyuan glanced at himself:
"I remember you once said you wanted to see how I dressed. What do you think of this outfit?"
He seemed to be really looking forward to her answer, which was quite different from the Lu Xiuyuan that Shen Qianyu usually knew.
"You look great in anything."
Shen Qianyu couldn't deny it.
Lu Xiuyuan was naturally favored by God. He had an excellent appearance, was tall enough, and had outstanding abilities. It was perfectly normal for Shen Qianyu to like him.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. I was worried that with so many things happening these past few days, things between us are no longer the same as before."
Shen Qianyu remained silent.
She couldn't say that things were definitely different.
"I've already ordered your favorite dishes."
As soon as Lu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Shen Qianyu looked at them and, as expected, they were all things she liked.
A slight flutter still stirred in her heart; she hadn't expected him to still remember.
"I thought you..."
Before Shen Qianyu could finish speaking, the steak was served, and Lu Xiuyuan took Shen Qianyu's portion and started cutting it for her.
"What did you think? Did you think I didn't remember these things? I've been reflecting on this lately. I really didn't tell you about Lin Weixia's return. It's understandable that you're upset with me. You didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who was wrong, and I will correct my mistakes."
Shen Qianyu felt very uncomfortable listening to what was said earlier.
In the end, doesn't he still think she's just throwing a tantrum?
But later, Lu Xiuyuan actually apologized to her. Shen Qianyu couldn't believe it. Lu Xiuyuan, who was so high and mighty, would apologize.
The steak had been cut and handed to Shen Qianyu.
"Don't you think something's off about me?"
Despite being with him for so many years, perhaps due to their different social statuses, Shen Qianyu still felt very inferior and restrained, unable to be herself.
She didn't say anything, but Lu Xiuyuan understood what was going on.
"I've thought it through, and I won't ignore you during this time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xiuyuan's phone rang.
Since they were sitting at the same table, Shen Qianyu still saw that the name "Lin Weixia" was written on it.
Lu Xiuyuan glanced at the phone, pressed a button, didn't answer but didn't hang up either, but there was no dial tone.
Shen Qianyu felt very sad as she watched, thinking that Lu Xiuyuan was about to leave, but he didn't. He stayed in the same spot and continued talking to her.
Not far away, Qin Yizhou was the first to see Shen Qianyu and pointed out her location to Fu Yanci.
"Isn't that Shen Qianyu?"
Fu Yanci spotted Shen Qianyu immediately, and sitting opposite her was Lu Xiuyuan.
His brow furrowed slightly.
As Qin Yizhou studied the document, he said, "Lu Xiuyuan has already registered his marriage with Lin Weixia, but she still insists on being with him. Could it be that she wants to become Lu Xiuyuan's concubine?"
That makes sense. For someone of her status, being able to become Lu Xiuyuan's concubine is quite good. After all, the Lin family is not what it used to be. If Lu Xiuyuan insists on keeping concubines outside, Lin Weixia can't do anything about it.
After all, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't possibly abandon Shen Qianyu, could he?
The brothers following behind looked at Fu Yanci, then at Qin Yizhou, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Qin Yizhou continued speaking, seemingly unconcerned.
