After contacting Hou Shuqin, she did not sound surprised at all.

The two sides had agreed that this matter would not be made public for the time being, so as to avoid attracting the attention of the media and the public.

However, Meng Luo actually had another plan for agreeing to it.

Monday, Meng Corporation.

"Chief Meng sent this to you." While Meng Luo was thinking about this in his office, Qin Yun walked in with a gift.

"When?"

"Not long ago, just before last weekend. "Because it just so happens to be on vacation, this thing stays in the company."

"Alright, leave it. "You can leave."

"Yes."

Meng Luo opened the beautifully packaged box and saw a silk tie. It must have been a gift from the necklace he gave her last time.

Meng Luo sighed inwardly.

The reason he had to agree to anything with Hou Shuqin, was precisely because of Lu Yanhuan.

Because he wasn't sure of her intentions, he used this chance to probe her.

This step was very risky, but without a doubt, it allowed him to obtain Lu Yanhuan's true feelings under extreme circumstances.

Sometimes, the two of them would follow each other closely, and sometimes, they would slowly walk further and further away.

It was her that stuck close to him, but she was also a thousand miles away from him. Right now, it was still her that was attached to him. But he was afraid that the next step might be for her to leave him again.

Meng Luo was naturally an extremely soft and gentle person, especially when it came to the one he loved. He only wanted stability and not change.

It would be for the best if Lu Yanhuan could stay by his side.

But if he were to be with Hou Shuqin, Lu Yanhuan would find someone else in the blink of an eye, and he would spend the rest of his life with another woman …

Meng Luo didn't dare imagine.

Because he loved her too much, he had to be sure that Lu Yanhuan liked him too.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Yanhuan called.

"Brother Luo, what are you doing?" Lu Yanhuan's voice sounded very sweet. It seemed that she was in a good mood.

"Work." Meng Luo tried his best to suppress the sound of his own voice, which carried some exhaustion within.

"You must be very busy. Looks like I've troubled you."

"..." "Right."

Lu Yanhuan held the phone and felt wronged, as though her Brother Luo was not very happy to receive her call.

"What's the matter?"

A magnetic voice came out of the phone, causing Lu Yanhuan to feel as if he had lost some of his temperature.

"Nothing much, just thank you for what happened last time. "Also, if you have time, we can have a meal together …"

"Sorry, my company has been very busy recently and might not have the time." Meng Luo clearly had an empty schedule in the afternoon of the next day, but he kept a straight face and lied without any change in expression.

"Mm …" All right. I'll hang up first. "You're busy." Lu Yanhuan resisted the disappointment in his heart and said his goodbyes reluctantly.

But the drama happened this afternoon.

Meng Luo did not have much to do that afternoon, and when Hou Shuqin called to invite him, he had no choice but to agree.

The place Hou Shuqin chose was somewhere in the city center, and the restaurant he was eating in was extremely unique and high-class. Before Meng Luo entered the dining hall, he looked around and suddenly realized that this dining hall was right next to the dining hall where he and Lu Yanhuan went on a date last time.

Being so close to her, it was hard to avoid being flirtatious.

Looking at the handsome guy's embarrassed expression, Hou Shuqin explained with understanding, "It's fine, I'm just not in a good mood. I'll just take it as expressing my feelings with me."

Meng Luo laughed and walked into the dining hall with Hou Shuqin.

"Do you know that this restaurant is actually a famous couple restaurant in the city?" Hou Shuqin turned to Meng Luo and asked after telling the receptionist the predetermined message.

"I don't know."

He was actually somewhat regretful.

"There are often some upper-class people and celebrities who get caught by Doggy here. In a sense, it can also be considered a popular online restaurant. It's a pity that a young man like you only knows how to earn money every day, so you don't know."

The waiter led them to the private room to sit down. Meng Luo replied: "Then you mean that we might have been exposed too? But I think this is a private room, there's no possibility of that happening. "

Hou Shuqin: "That's not necessarily true."

Meng Luo knew clearly that he had entered a circle, "Then I really shouldn't have agreed to let you out." Strangely, Lu Yanhuan's innocent face started to wander around in his mind.

Hou Shuqin picked up the menu, and ordered a meal with ease. He also politely asked Meng Luo what she liked to eat, and the latter told her to order as she pleased.

After the food was served, the two of them started to eat. The taste was actually not bad, but Meng Luo still felt that the one he had with Lu Yanhuan that day was much better.

"Actually, he and I used to come to this store a lot."

she said suddenly, without warning. Meng Luo did not know whether he should continue or not.

"He is an independent designer. His company's brand has made some progress, but his family disagrees, so we can only split it up."

Although Hou Shuqin said those words calmly, in reality, no one knew what kind of heart wrenching pain she had at that time.

"Actually, we could have broken up peacefully, but you know, he loved me too much. He didn't accept the result, so he's here to cause trouble again. "

Saying that, Hou Shuqin laughed, she raised her head and looked out the window, and for a moment, it was as if she had become a different person.

Meng Luo put down the tableware, looked at her, and asked: "And then?"

"He was beaten and crippled by one of our family members."

His career was ruined.

And she didn't know who to hate.

"Ridiculous." Hou Shuqin lifted his wine cup and finished it in one gulp.

Meng Luo looked at the table in silence for a long time.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you today?" When Hou Shuqin walked out of the restaurant, he continued muttering to himself.

"Because today is the day of his death."

"Day of death?"

"The designer couldn't accept the fact that he lost his hands. Not long after that, he committed suicide."

"It's hard to imagine such a crazy and stubborn person, crazy and stubborn love."

Hou Shuqin looked at the sky, then looked at the person beside her.

Suddenly, from not too far behind them, an incredulous voice sounded, "Brother Luo?"

Meng Luo turned his head and saw Lu Yanhuan blankly standing in place.

Meng Luo didn't have time to reply as he held onto Meng Luo's arm consciously, and Meng Luo didn't resist either. When Lu Yanhuan saw this, his brows drooped instantly, but he still looked at Meng Luo, hoping that he could say something.

However, Meng Luo didn't say anything.

"Shall we go?" Hou Shuqin reminded.

"Alright."

Meng Luo purposely avoided Lu Yanhuan's gaze and left with him.

After passing through the crowd of people who were rubbing against his shoulder, Meng Luo turned his head around and found that Lu Yanhuan was still standing in his original spot.

At some point in time, Hou Shuqin had released his hand, and looked at him with a gaze that seemed to have a deeper meaning. And Meng Luo did not notice, because he seemed to have fallen into a tearing state.
