Driving was too slow, so Lu Yanci checked the schedule of the next high-speed train and booked a ticket directly. He took the high-speed train from the high-speed train station to Nancheng, and then took a car from the Nancheng high-speed train station to the restaurant she mentioned.
Only after seeing with my own eyes that she was alright could I finally put my mind at ease.
He replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm worried."
Even through his clothes, Qin Yue could feel his rapid and intense heartbeat. She raised her hand and gently patted his back, whispering reassuringly, "Are you relieved now?"
"Hmm." A soft "hmm" escaped the man's throat.
Fang Yuanzhou and Qin Xu, who followed, both witnessed this scene.
The man holding Qin Yue was handsome and had a powerful aura. Compared to his calm and reserved demeanor, Qin Yue felt instantly immature.
The two are so close, could they be boyfriend and girlfriend?
He suddenly remembered something. Fang Yuanyuan had mentioned it before, saying that there was a man with legs 1.8 meters long and an aura of 18 meters who treated Qin Yue differently.
He thought it was an exaggeration at the time and made a sarcastic remark about Fang Yuanyuan.
Now it seems that it wasn't so exaggerated.
It's best if the two are boyfriend and girlfriend.
Qin Xu was so angry he died.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuanzhou's smile almost reached the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
He turned his head and glanced at Qin Xu.
The latter's expression could no longer be described as dark and stormy.
Fang Yuanzhou didn't know Lu Yanci, but Qin Xu did.
He had personally witnessed Lu Yanci escorting her home, heard firsthand that the Qin family intended to match her with Lu Yanci, and even the fact that she moved out of the Qin family was all related to Lu Yanci.
He assumed she was opposed to blind dates and the family's arrangements.
He thought she still had feelings for Qi Jingchen and wouldn't start a new relationship so quickly; he firmly believed he still had a chance.
Are they already together?
Why didn't anyone tell him?
Fang Yuanzhou folded his hands behind his head, whistling happily. As he turned to walk inside, he didn't forget to say, "I'm not going to be a third wheel. Anyone who's thinking about being a mistress should go buy a mirror. Nothing compares to this. Don't go and embarrass yourself in front of others."
Qin Xu lowered his eyelashes...
He waited all these years, and finally she came back.
In the end, all he got was a breakup with her, and he could only watch helplessly as the person he longed for was embraced by someone else.
What can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?
He had tried the self-inflicted injury tactic before, but even when he claimed to be seriously ill, he couldn't get a single word of concern from her.
She's so kind to everyone, so why is she so cruel to herself?
So many years of affection couldn't earn me a single word of forgiveness.
Or was it that he took himself too seriously from the very beginning? Did she never truly care about him from start to finish?
Qin Xu forced himself to look away, turned around, and walked heavily back to the hotel step by step.
...
Qin Yue led Lu Yanci back to her room.
Seeing the tension on the man's face, she knew that Lu Yanci's worries had not been resolved.
Qin Yue sighed, took off his glasses, and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows with her fingertips.
Then she took his slightly cool fingers and pressed them against her face, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Warm, alive, vibrant. I'm standing right in front of you now, so don't put on that handsome face. It's intimidating."
Although Lu Yanci said no, the cold and stern expression on his face remained unchanged.
There's just no way to deal with him.
Qin Yue wrapped her arms around his neck.
She tilted her head back and kissed his resolute chin: "President Lu, give me a smile."
The man's large hand grasped the back of her neck, his fingertips gently kneading the soft flesh. He said truthfully, "I know I'm overly nervous. I've tried very hard to calm myself down, but, I'm sorry, my facial expressions are still a bit of a failure."
You could say he was scaring himself the whole way here.
Just as Fang Yuanzhou had thought, what if this didn't happen today, but yesterday...?
What should we do then?
He dislikes hypothetical questions, yet he makes assumptions time and time again.
Qin Yue tilted her head back and gave him a radiant smile, like the warm autumn sun, making him feel comfortable and warm.
"I know you're worried. Since Mr. Lu can't smile, I'll smile at you. Does that make you feel better?"
She always managed to touch his heartstrings with ease.
The warm sunshine dispelled the gloom in my heart.
His brow relaxed completely, the corners of his lips turned up slightly, and he gently rubbed her head with his large hand: "Yes, my mood has brightened."
"Then I'm relieved."
Qin Yue leaned over and kissed his chin again.
She was about to say something more when the man cut her off, silencing her.
After more than ten minutes, the temperature in the room continued to rise.
Qin Yue felt as if she were enveloped by a cool, woody fragrance, her whole body surrounded by an aura that did not belong to her.
Just as things were about to get out of control, the hand restraining her waist loosened its grip slightly.
The man rested his chin on the top of her head, calming his heavy breathing.
After a while, realizing that the effect was minimal, he placed the person sitting sideways in his lap on the bed, stood up, gazed at her, leaned down and lightly kissed the corner of her lips before going to the bathroom.
The cold water soaked the man's sharp features, and he only left the bathroom after his inner feelings had been completely extinguished.
Qin Yue, who was outside, had just hung up a phone call. When she saw him come out, her watery eyes flashed with accusation: "The director arranged for everyone to go to an entertainment club to sing. He just called to say we can leave. If anyone makes fun of me later, I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
"I accept the punishment." After he finished speaking, his dark eyes, beneath his thick, long eyelashes, rippled.
His eyes, which were usually expressionless, seemed to speak volumes now, and Qin Yue understood the unspoken words in them.
"What's wrong?" she asked instinctively.
Lu Yanci approached and smoothed her disheveled hair: "I just wanted to ask President Qin if it's permissible to bring family members to tonight's event?"
Qin Yue understood the meaning behind his words, and her breath hitched.
If anyone tells her that Lu Yanci is taciturn and not good at speaking, she will get angry and immediately assume that she is a family member.
Qin Yue feigned ignorance: "I brought family members. I have a cousin who happens to be here. He's an investor, and we'll be going over together tonight."
Although the investor was unreliable, Fang Yuanzhou's investment was pitifully small for a big-budget production.
"What if I were to attend tonight's dinner as an investor?"
"..." Qin Yue paused for a moment, then raised her hand and tugged at his cheek. Seeing that he made a comical face that didn't suit his temperament under her teasing, she smiled and said, "President Lu, please attend as a family member."
The production team for "Lingzhu Mountain" is excellent, and it's a big-budget production that generated a lot of buzz even before filming began.
This drama has no shortage of investment.
She watched Shi Leyao's performance and found it quite amazing.
However, Qin Xu is the lead actor in this drama...
