The bitter Western Australia had no choice but to take out a hemp rope from the trunk, tie it to his car, and buckle the other end onto Lu Juyan's car. He resigned himself to his fate and drove the car to the workshop. After a few words of advice, he drove the car back to the company with Lu Juyan.

Du Ruqing returned home from work. Just as she went upstairs to take out her key to unlock the door, she raised her head and found Lu Jingyan standing outside her rented apartment with her luggage.

"Why are you here?" A trace of surprise flashed in Du Liqing's eyes as his emotions became slightly complicated. He had a strange feeling, but he was still used to politely asking the other party about his purpose in coming here.

Lu Juyan, who'd been leaning against the wall, immediately straightened up and set his gaze on Du Liqing. His face revealed a hint of a smile, and his thin lips slightly parted. He didn't know whether to say it or not, but the choked words in his throat made him swallow his saliva.

Du Ruqing, who didn't know the truth, felt even weirder at this moment. When he saw Lu Juyan's luggage, his mind recalled that car from this morning. His heart trembled as he uneasily opened his mouth and said, "It can't be that you've given your boss all your belongings, right?"

"I'm homeless, so I came to ask for shelter." Lu Juyan nodded her head and pushed her suitcase forward. A trace of awkwardness was revealed on his face, but his words had become somewhat weaker. It didn't fit with his tall body at all.

Suddenly, a trace of guilt flashed across Du Ruqing's heart. At the same time, she felt that the man in front of her was not so omnipotent. He pursed his lips. He rarely felt that it was inappropriate for the two of them to live together. Thus, he suggested, "How about I give you some money first, and then you find the landlord to get a new room?"

This caused a trace of grievance to flash past the eyes of Lu Juyan, who was already pretending to be weak. A feeling of being abandoned welled up from the bottom of his heart, leaving him at a loss as to what to do. He stood still on the spot, unwilling to move no matter how Du Liqing tried to pull him.

Du Liqing felt rather helpless. She faced Lu Juyan's deep gaze and felt an inexplicable attraction that almost made her unable to come to her senses. Embracing his strange feelings, he nodded in the end.

"You can stay here, but I want to make an appointment with you in Chu, He Han. Normally, no one is allowed to cross the border." Du Liqing opened the door and let Lu Juyan in first. Closing the door, she put down her things and sat down on a chair in the living room. She took a pen and a piece of paper from her bag and wrote down what Chu He Han had asked for, and wrote down the words "Enforcer" at the bottom of the pen.

"Alright." An indifferent expression had long since returned to Lu Juyan's face, as if the person who'd been pretending to be pitiful wasn't him. Seeing Du Liqing's actions, he felt that it was a bit funny, but he still liked it a lot.

The two of them signed their names on it and pressed their handprints onto the cinnabar. Each of them received one copy in duplicate, as if they were defending their own rights and interests.

"I'm going to order takeout. What do you want to eat?" Du Liqing folded the paper and put it into his bag. Ye Zichen clicked on the APP app with his phone, glanced at Lu Juyan, and asked him a question or two.

She didn't know how to cook, so she only ate instant noodles and takeaway food. However, he probably wouldn't eat instant noodles for someone like Lu Juyan, so she could only order dishes on her phone.

"Stop shouting, I'll go cook." Lu Juyan was well aware of Du Xiangqing's condition, so he walked towards the kitchen without a word. Although this place was so small that it didn't even have a door, at least the kitchen utensils were sound.

He opened the refrigerator and found that there were not many dishes inside, just some fruits, a day or two of cabbage, and a few tomatoes and eggs. This made him feel quite helpless. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Du Liqing watching TV very calmly.

This scene was just like half a year ago, when Du Liqing was staying at Lu Juanyan's house. In a trance, he realized that so much time had passed. He lowered his head, removed the memories from his mind, took out the remaining ingredients from the fridge and started cooking seriously.

"I'll go wash the dishes." After the two of them finished this simple dish, Du Liqing took the initiative to stack the plates together and brought them into the sink to be washed.

After she finished washing the dishes, she glanced at Lu Juyan who was sitting on the sofa and went straight back to her room without saying anything. The tranquil environment made her begin to prepare her plans for the next step.

Lu Juyan felt rather bored as he sat on the sofa. He glanced at the closed doors of Du Liqing's room and felt an inexplicable urge to see what she was doing. Before he could clear his mind, he moved ahead of the computer and opened the door without knocking. Because it was an unconscious action, Lu forgot about the courteous act of knocking on the door.

Upon hearing the door open, Du Ruqing immediately grabbed a book to block the proposal on the table. When she turned around, she saw Lu Juyan's appearance. Without saying anything further, he stood up, blocking the object on the desk behind her, not willing to let her see it. He felt angry and said, "Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"

"I forgot." Du Ruqing subconsciously blocked her, causing Lu Juyan to doubt something even more. His gaze subconsciously drifted behind her as he approached her step by step, searching for something behind her first.

Not a single word of apology ignited the anger in Du Liqing's heart. He frowned in dissatisfaction and subconsciously walked forward to push Lu Juyan out of the room when he saw his approaching body.

Lu Juyan wasn't willing to leave at all as he cast a glance behind Du Liqing from the corner of his eyes. When she reached out her hand, she turned and just missed her push, and she was even closer to the desk.

"Lu Juyan, get out!" Du Liqing, who had made up his mind, turned around and saw that Lu Juyan was about to walk towards the desk. She took small steps forward and grabbed Lu Juyan's arm, forcing him out.

Lu Juyan didn't like this move at all. He was unwilling to leave unyieldingly as he grabbed a corner of the desk with his hand and attempted to move towards it slowly.

Du Liqing's brow furrowed in dissatisfaction as he grabbed Lu Juyan's hand to prevent him from touching the desk, but his elbow had unwittingly bumped into the pressed proposal. The paper fell to the ground right between the two of them.

"I have a better idea." Du Liqing's heart skipped a beat as he crouched down and picked up the paper. He glared furiously at Lu Juyan and heard his calm words before he could speak.

In that moment of absent-mindedness, Du Ruqing had thought that it was an illusion, but when she saw Lu Juyan's resolute expression, her heart began to rise to her throat. He was thinking about his life history, as well as the pros and cons.

It did not seem particularly bad to add an ally.

She mused to herself as she looked at Lu Juyan again, but there wasn't the slightest bit of anger in her gaze. Instead, the light in her eyes became clear.
