Lu Yang held the envelope with her fingertips and hesitated for a moment. She awkwardly shifted her gaze away from his.
“But men always want to aim for the impossible.” Jiang Yanzhou’s smile became more intense at the corners of his lips. “I am no exception, and I dream of making you mine with just a few words.”
He was so straightforward that Lu Yang did not know how to respond. Lu Yang was wearing her home pajamas, and a few strands of her middle-length hair were lifted by the evening breeze. She looked very uneasy.
Jiang Yanzhou casually picked up a strand of her hair and twisted it around his finger. “If anything I say surprises you, it’s not to tease you, but because I am foolishly in love.”
Lu Yang’s throat tightened. Late at night, it was really easy to let down one’s guard. Just standing there talking like this could make her heart skip a beat.
After a moment of silence, she asked him, “Do you care about me?”
Jiang Yanzhou replied, “Yes.”
Lu Yang lowered her eyes and stared at the envelope, pursing her lips. “Since you care, then just care.”
During this time, Jiang Yanzhou had a hard time like a dried-up fish. Especially when other men appeared, he was restless, afraid that she would leave him again. He understood the principle of attacking the weak and knew that she was probably confused by the ambiguous signals of wanting to refuse but also accept. But now that she had let down her guard and did not reject him, how could he let this opportunity slip away from him?
At this moment, her words made him overjoyed. Jiang Yanzhou looked at her intently and raised his eyebrows slightly. “I want some compensation.” “Hug me,” he said calmly, but his voice was extremely affectionate.
“You can refuse.” Jiang Yanzhou said, “It’s your right.”
A gust of wind blew, and Lu Yang’s nose felt sour. Inappropriately, she sneezed loudly.
Immediately, Jiang Yanzhou grabbed her wrist, pulled her towards him, and held her in his arms.
He only held her wrist and did nothing else. Jiang Yanzhou raised his lips and chuckled. ‘With just one sound, it means you agreed.”
After sneezing, she would fall into a short period of confusion. And now, she had fallen into his arms again, and Lu Yang was completely lost. Her heart was pounding in her chest, she didn’t know if it was hers or his.
Jiang Yanzhou approached her ear again and exhaled warm air as he whispered seductively. “Once is not enough, can we hug twice?”
Lu Yang didn’t know how to define “once” and “twice,” but his words hit her heart, and then she nodded in agreement.
After hugging for a while, Jiang Yanzhou let her go and looked down at her dazed expression. He smiled and said, “Why do you look like you just woke up?”
Lu Yang blinked, and the mist in her eyes dispersed, revealing a clear gaze. “I’m a little tired.”
“Alright, go back and rest.” Jiang Yanzhou raised his hand and smoothed her hair. “Goodnight.”
Lu Yang’s eyes flickered and she bid him goodbye. “Be careful on the way home.”
“Okay, I’ll message you when I get home.”
Jiang Yanzhou stood by the car and watched her enter the house. He didn’t leave until Lu Yang opened the curtains in her room and saw him slowly get into the car and drive away.
She focused her attention on the love letter he gave her. The letter was not too subtle, but compared to his direct words, it could be considered subtle.
Opening the envelope, there was a sheet of paper inside with a sketch clipped to it.
Lu Yang first opened the sketch, which was a drawing he did of her. The strokes were very vivid, and it looked just like her. The only difference was that she was smiling with sparkling eyes, full of vitality.
In the middle of the night, Lu Mingyu was hungry and got up to eat. He noticed that the light was still on in Lu Yang’s room and brought a bowl of instant noodles to knock on her door.
“Yangyang, it’s me.”
Lu Yang had not yet opened the letter full of words and was busy putting the sketch back in the drawer when she hastily opened the door.
She hadn’t even lifted her head when the aroma hit her nose. Lu Mingyu said, “I made noodles. It’s pretty good. Come out and eat with me.”
Lu Yang was puzzled, “Why are you carrying noodles around?”
He could just call for her, and there was no need to carry it around.
Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows and proudly said, “Isn’t this to show off my cooking skills to you?”
Self-praise was no recommendation.
Lu Yang’s eyes lit up with a desire to try. “It smells good. I’m hungry. Let’s go.”
A bowl was served on the table, and Lu Mingyu nodded his chin, indicating,
“Yangyang, you eat that bowl.”
Lu Yang nodded, sat on the chair, and picked up the utensils. Before she could take a bite, she heard Lu Mingyu loudly exclaim, “I wish our Yangyang all the best in everything! May the future be full of good fortune! May the bowl bring happiness!”
Lu Yang laughed and squinted her eyes, “Then let’s wish for good luck, good health, and everything to go well!”
“Your wishes will definitely come true.” Lu Mingyu laughed heartily and then said fiercely, “Anyone who doubts it, I’ll kill them!”
“Then I’ll help you hold them down.”
“No need, I’ll hold them down with one hand and kill them with the other. It’s a piece of cake for me.”
“Alright, then 1″11 stand on the side and eat popcorn while watching the show.”
“And make sure it’s the biggest popcorn!”
“Yes!”
The banquet at the Huo family didn’t have a specific theme. It was mostly to network and maintain relationships with business partners. There was no need to wear formal attire, so Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu dressed casually, a little more serious than usual.
The sibling duo just stepped into the magnificent hall. Not far away, a man in a suit and leather shoes holding a wine glass caught a glimpse of them. He became excited and walked over with exaggerated steps.
“Oh, is this our eldest brother’s sister?” said the man, whose appearance resembled that of a playboy. He was less wild than Jin Yao, but his eyes were showing a clear interest.
Lu Mingyu frowned and coldly warned, “Huo Beiqu, show some respect for my sister. ”
Lu Yang raised her eyebrows, revealing a faint arc of indifference.
Huo Beiqu was famous for being a playboy, and if he set his sights on someone, he never missed his target. He had some connections with her brother.
Huo Beiqu was not bothered and still had a big smile on his face. “Little sister, your brother is really fierce. Hang out with me, I’m not fierce at all like your brother.”
“Who are you calling little sister?” Lu Mingyu frowned and said unhappily, “Don’t call me brother, it’s disgusting.”
“Why are you in a hurry? Little sister hasn’t spoken yet.” Huo Beiqu locked his gaze on Lu Yang, with an unorthodox tone. “Besides, I’m not like Jin Yao, who is so ignorant.”
“Get lost! ” Lu IV11ngyu said angrily.
Huo Beiqu turned a deaf ear and continued with the same tone, looking at Lu Yang, “Little sister, let me introduce myself. I’m Huo Beiqu, 26 years old this year, and I love beautiful women like you with outstanding talents.”
Lu Mingyu quickly slapped away Huo Beiqu’s hand. He was infuriated and ready to start a fight. Lu Yang put her hand on Lu Mingyu’s elbow and said, “Mingyu, it’s fine.”
Huo Beiqu looked at her with a smile. “Little sister is so sensible.”
Lu Yang exclaimed, “Mingyu, go give the gift to Grandpa Huo. I’ll go to the restroom and find you later.”
Lu Mingyu hesitated but still nodded. “Okay.”
Huo Beiqu could tell that Lu Yang deliberately sent Lu Mingyu away.
Taking advantage of Lu Mingyu’s departure, Huo Beiqu called a waiter, took a glass of wine, and handed it to Lu Yang. “Little sister, can you drink?” “Thank you, but I’m allergic to alcohol,” Lu Yang replied. Huo Beiqu quickly reacted. “My bad, can you drink orange juice?”
“I can,” she replied.
Before Huo Beiqu could call a waiter to bring the juice, Lu Yang asked in a friendly manner, “Do you have a swimming pool here?”
He was taken aback and said, “Yes.”
“I want to swim.”
Huo Beiqu extended his hand and took her to the pool, “I will prepare the swimsuit right away. Come this way.”
There were two swimming pools here, and he brought her to the one for their age group.
The handsome man and beautiful woman talked and laughed while enjoying their time.
Lin Xinmeng was standing obediently next to him when she saw a familiar figure and was surprised. However, in the next second, her pupils dilated to the extreme.
She was shocked to the extreme.
Huo Beiqu led Lu Yang to the side of the pool. As he turned his head, before he could lower his head to talk to her about swimming skills, his foot was suddenly tripped by someone..
