"Thank you." The corners of Du Ruqing's lips curled up into a faint smile as she looked at Lu Juyan, an expression of gratitude appearing in her eyes.
His pure and kind gaze reminded Lu Juyan of the time when Du Liqing gave him that toy. His gaze couldn't help but become faintly discernible. Subconsciously, he reached out his hand to caress her face. With a precious look in his eyes, he felt a flash of love.
A trace of panic flashed past Du Ruqing's eyes, and his body became extremely stiff. She couldn't help but be taken aback when she felt Lu Juyan's face enlarge continuously.
Just as Lu Juyan's thin lips were about to reach Du Biao's thin lips, Du Ruqing, who had reacted in the end, fiercely pushed them away. A hint of panic flashed past her eyes. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do in that instant.
"We can't do this!" Du Ruqing didn't know what to say, but she felt that this kind of close proximity didn't suit the two of them. He took a few steps back, maintaining a certain distance from the others.
Lu Juyan leaned against the bookshelf, a trace of sadness flashing through his eyes when he sensed the other's reaction. He was secretly laughing at himself. Feeling the warmth remaining on his fingertips, he couldn't help but clench his fists, afraid that the temperature would disappear just like that.
"Sorry, I …" Du Liqing inadvertently raised his head and saw that Lu Juyan had yet to leave. Unconsciously, he saw the forced smile on the other party's face, and he felt guilty from the bottom of his heart. He pursed his lips and lowered his head in apology.
"I understand. It's fine. Rest well. "
Lu Juyan retracted the smile on his face and helplessly let go of the hand he had raised in an attempt to touch the other. It was an extremely indifferent expression of his emotions, but it couldn't ignore the faint pressure on his body.
Du Liqing couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief as he watched Lu Juyan's departing figure. As he turned around to look at the items in the shopping bags, his feelings for Lu Juyan became even more complicated.
Frowning, he walked over to the large bed and sat down. His thoughts kept expanding and in the blink of an eye, he was lying down on his bed. As he thought about it, sleep came over him. In his drowsiness, Dudian gradually fell asleep.
Outside the door, Lu Juyan finished preparing his meal and walked up to knock on the door a few times. He didn't hear any response from within the room. He turned the handle of the door and pushed the door open. He looked at Dean's green sleeping face with a tender look in his eyes.
He walked over to the bed and touched the corner of his lips with his fingertips. This was a place that Lu Jingyan couldn't touch even if she wanted to. This caused him to feel a sense of loss in the depths of his eyes, but he couldn't bear to disturb the other party's sleeping visage. He unconsciously whispered: "Idiot."
The intimate words of a couple flowed out from Lu Juyan's mouth. The love in his eyes surrounded Du Liqing, as if he couldn't tolerate others.
Time passed quickly and without a sound, Lu Juyan walked out of the guest room and closed the door and lamp with care.
After returning to his room, Lu Juyan took out his cell phone and made a call to his lawyer. As soon as the call connected, he asked subconsciously, "How's the preparation for the court appearance?"
His words were cold, but they carried an extreme sense of concern. Lu Juyan inexplicably felt that Sun Jiangyuan and Yue Min would not be so easily dealt with, so he had to be careful.
"The other party didn't leave behind any evidence. I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to reverse the situation."
The lawyer was a smart person, so he naturally knew what Lu Juyan wanted to ask. Flipping through the information in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly. He felt that this was tricky, but he began to use other methods to investigate the evidence.
These words weren't too decisive, making Lu Juyan feel that this matter wasn't necessarily a dead end. He rested his elbows on the rocking chair, supporting his lower jaw as he began to wonder what kind of action Sun Jiangyuan would take.
"Boss, the proof is ready." Sun Jiangyuan, who had just finished interacting with Yue Min, walked onto the balcony with a towel. He pressed the phone that rang a few times, but before he could speak, he was cut off by the other party.
"Well done. If you win, I will definitely give you some benefits!"
Sun Jiangyuan looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window. As the other party spoke, his lips curled up into a sinister smile. His fingertips tapped against the stainless steel railing, making a sound in the quiet space, giving off a strange feeling.
Water droplets that had yet to dry rolled down Sun Jiangyuan's chest. Yue Min, who was lying on the bed, saw them as she walked over. She hugged him from behind, her warm fingertips strolling along his chest from time to time.
Seeing that the person had hung up the phone, he slowly opened his mouth and asked with interest: "What? Is the evidence not enough? "
"Enough, just wait and see!" Sun Jiangyuan grabbed Yue Min's hand and turned around to hug her. A trace of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes. His face was unobstructed, full of anticipation for the arrival of tomorrow.
Inside the room, Lu Juyan had just finished showering when he heard his lawyer's message that Sun Jiangyuan had already prepared everything beforehand. He couldn't help but furrow his brows. An indescribable anger from the bottom of his heart made him very frustrated.
"Looks like I can only fight with my back against the wall!" Ye Zichen held his phone tightly and looked into the distance with a stiff face. A trace of stubbornness flashed across his deep eyes.
He asked the lawyer for a set of documents and asked his subordinates to find out what Sun Jiangyuan had done to Du Yanqing. He sat in front of the computer and searched for the file, trying to find anything that was different. Even though it was late at night, he was still able to find out what was going on.
Du Ruqing helplessly curled her lips as she woke up from her hunger. She walked out of the bed, intending to pay for something to eat. When she passed by the door to Lu Juyan's room, she felt a strange feeling from the fine light.
He carefully opened the door and walked in. When he saw Lu Juyan sleeping on the computer, he couldn't help but be startled. Ye Zichen looked at the information on the computer screen and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Seeing the look in the other's eyes, he felt a little grateful, but in his heart he indistinctly told Du Liqing that perhaps the other party could not be trusted. Her emotions were quite complicated as she looked at Lu Juyan's face. She stood to the side indifferently.
Suddenly, Lu Juyan felt a bit cold and couldn't help but tighten his body. His brows were tightly knitted, as if he couldn't wipe them away completely.
"Stupid!" Du Ruqing looked at the clothes hanging on the clothes rack and helplessly shook his head. He muttered to her in a low voice, turned around and took it off, carefully putting it on for her.
But in the next second, it was unknown if it was due to their shared heart or something, but Lu Juyan opened his eyes. He was shocked as he looked at Dudian's face in front of him. He subconsciously grabbed her hand and kissed her on her lips.
Du Ruqing's body stiffened as the tip of his heart trembled. He used all the strength in his body to push Lu Juyan away. Clutching her thin lips that had been violated by others, she tried to flee.
"I'm sorry, Cheng Qing, I didn't do it on purpose!" He pushed aside the bookshelf behind him and felt a sharp pain, only then did he realize that he wasn't dreaming. He panicked and once again grabbed Du Liqing's hand and sincerely apologized.
