At this moment, she couldn’t help but miss the gentlemanly Lu Mingxiu from before. At least, there were times when he wouldn’t force her.

Fortunately, the sofa in Lu Mingxiu’s room was also of the highest quality. It was custom-made with real leather and looked expensive at first glance. In terms of comfort, it was several grades higher than the bed in the apartment.

For a moment, she wondered if Lu Mingxiu had truly loved her. Otherwise, why would he leave the comfortable big bed in Dijing Manor and squeeze into the bed in the small apartment with her? It couldn’t be that he wanted to experience the suffering of common folk, right?

While she was still looking around Lu Mingxiu’s room, he had already finished his shower and was walking out.

His wet hair drooped over his forehead, half-covering his dark eyes. His originally cold and perfect face instantly became sexy and devilish.

She could not help but gaze down. Crystal clear water droplets flowed down his chest, across his flawless honey-colored skin, and into his pajamas. She could almost imagine the straight and slender legs under the pajamas, the smooth and perfect abs, and the lines of his waist that made her blood boil…

She swore that she had seen it countless times, but she still drooled.

She rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower to cool herself down.

Lu Mingxiu dried his hair and sat on the sofa. He thought of Su Qian’s actions just now and narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

Su Qian was in the shower when she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes.

She leaned against the tiles with a slight headache and wrote the word “idiot” on the wall covered with water vapor.

After standing against the wall for about three minutes, she finally pulled a bath towel around her chest and carefully opened the bathroom door, trying not to expose herself, “Can you help me get some clothes?”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was no sound from outside. She opened the door a little wider and was surprised to find that Lu Mingxiu had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He had just had surgery a few days ago, so it was normal for him to be sleepy. She did not suspect anything and was relieved instead.

She walked out of the bathroom barefooted, opened her suitcase, and found a set of pajamas that wasn’t that sexy. Then, she turned around and walked into the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door closed, Lu Mingxiu opened his eyes and his gaze fell on her fair ankle that was like a piece of art.

Meanwhile, at the airport, Qin Yunshuang’s plane arrived at two in the afternoon. She waited from the afternoon until the city’s neon lights lit up at night, but Lu Mingxiu was still not in sight. There was an unspeakable disappointment in her eyes. Tears were about to fall, but they could not. It made one’s heart ache.

The assistant couldn’t stand it anymore. “Ms. Qin, let’s go back. Mr. Qin has already called several times to hurry us.”

He said that he would hold a welcome banquet for Yunshuang today, but Yunshuang insisted on waiting here and was not willing to go back.

The assistant knew who Qin Yunshuang was waiting for, but that person had not appeared.

She hesitated for a long time before she said to Qin Yunshuang, “Ms. Qin, why don’t you give Mr. Lu a call and ask? We can’t keep waiting like this.”

Qin Yunshuang was obviously unwilling. She had already taken the initiative to send him a message, but he did not reply. Now, she was going to have to swallow her pride further and call him?

The people who pursued her could go around a few football fields. Did he want her to lower her self-esteem and let him trample on her?

The assistant knew that Qin Yunshuang could not lower her self-esteem and muttered in a low voice, “Ms. Qin, you abandoned Mr. Lu back then, and he might still be angry now. Now that you’re back, aren’t you trying to make it up to him? Since he doesn’t want to call you, you should call him. You can’t wait until you lose him and then regret it. ”

The assistant’s words made Qin Yunshuang feel as if she had been enlightened. Yes, didn’t she come back this time to fix the past?

Mingxiu had always doted on her, and she believed that he would forgive her if she acted coquettishly.

Thinking of this, she decided not to think about it anymore and called Lu Mingxiu.

Su Qian quietly walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Seeing Lu Mingxiu in a deep sleep, she was about to fall onto the bed happily when Lu Mingxiu’s phone rang. He opened his eyes instantly and his gaze fell on Su Qian, who looked like she was about to do something bad.

Seeing that Lu Mingxiu had woken up, Su Qian laughed awkwardly and decisively gave up on the idea of climbing into bed.

She took a deep breath and said, “Since you’re awake, then let me have my seat.”

Lu Mingxiu did not move. He just picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Qin Yunshuang, but he still did not answer.

She had good eyesight and saw the name Qin Yunshuang on the screen.

He didn’t pick up the call from the woman he couldn’t forget?

Su Qian couldn’t figure out Lu Mingxiu’s true thoughts.

After the call was hung up, the other party persevered and called again. The room was too quiet, and the ringtone filled the entire room. Su Qian felt that it was a little noisy.

“Aren’t you going to take it?”

“You?” Lu Mingxiu looked up at her. “You want me to take it?”

Su Qian was at a loss for words.

A normal woman wouldn’t want her husband to answer another woman’s phone call, but they were preparing for a divorce, so she didn’t care.

The quiet moonlight shone through the thin gauze window and sprinkled on the ground. The cold marble floor reflected the smoothness of the room, and the woman’s face looked even more profound and cold.

There was a trace of amusement in her eyes, and she replied coldly and distantly, “As you wish.”

It was the first time he had seen such a woman. She was cold to the point of being cruel, and he could not help but want to destroy her.

He threw his phone aside and motioned for her to come over. She leaned against the wall and didn’t move for a long time. Just when he was about to get angry, she finally walked over slowly.

“What do you want to say?”

His gaze was still full of sizing and examining.

“How did we meet?”

“Because of a variety show.”

He felt that it was unlikely.

“I’ve never had any interest in variety shows. Why would I suddenly participate in a variety show?”

He entered the entertainment industry purely because he didn’t want the elders of the Lu family to sow discord between him and his brother. Variety shows were never within his consideration.

Su Qian shrugged her shoulders. Who would know? He could say whatever he wanted now that he had lost his memory. As for his true thoughts, of course, only he would know.

***

At the airport, Qin Yunshuang called Lu Mingxiu five times in a row, but none of her calls went through. Finally, she no longer insisted. Holding back her tears and sobs, she said, “Let’s go back. ”

Qin Yunshuang’s welcoming banquet was not very grand. There were only a few tables, but the people at these tables were all influential people in the capital.

Although the crowd was dissatisfied with the late arrival of the main character, they did not show it. Qin Yunshuang was still the young lady of the Qin family. Other than the occasional time when she was defeated by Lu Mingxiu, she had always been able to deal with others with ease.

She raised her glass and toasted everyone present, “I was delayed at the airport and disrupted everyone’s mood. Now, I’ll drink a glass as punishment.”

Everyone did not really want to go against the Qin family. Since Qin Yunshuang had personally apologized, there was no reason for them to be cold to her.

They all raised their glasses and made a toast.
