After Du Yanqing hung up the phone, she seemed to have become a little absent-minded. Even her hours of work were an hour later than usual. He looked down at the screen of his phone and saw a message. He opened it and saw that it was from 10086.
She frowned in displeasure, pouting as she tidied up the documents and documents on the table. He took his bag and walked downstairs. He stopped a taxi at the side of the street, but a stranger pushed it away and got in first. The driver started the car and she opened her mouth to find nothing to say.
At the side of the street, Du Yanqing waited for a long time only to see people taking taxis. Her patience ran out, and she headed towards the rental house alone.
After nearly half an hour, Du Yanqing finally reached near the rented house. He took out his card from his bag and swiped it in front of the door. Ye Ci headed upstairs in a daze. She didn't even notice that there was an extra floor on the first floor. It wasn't until she couldn't unlock the lock in front of that room that she noticed that this room didn't belong to her. With a smirk, she muttered softly: "Du Yanqing, what's wrong with you?"
Helplessly biting her head, she took out her key and walked down the stairs. When she pushed open the door of her house, she could faintly feel a cold wind blowing against her, causing her to feel ice-cold all over. Glancing out of the window, he noticed that the window had not been closed for the day. He put his bag on the sofa and walked to the window, inexplicably wanting to close it.
This sudden thought caused Du Yanqing to unconsciously glance downwards. Coincidentally, he saw a considerably expensive car stop downstairs, and he felt that it seemed a little familiar.
Inside the carriage, Lu Juyan shut the slightly opened mouth, opened the door, and walked out. She stood at the side and pulled the door open, letting Mu Jinxuan out as if she were a gentleman. He wasn't trying to curry favor with her on purpose, but a form of etiquette developed from being brainwashed from a young age.
"Thank you very much." Mu Jinxuan stood firmly on the ground and spoke to Lu Juyan in an indifferent tone. Seeing that he only nodded indifferently, he turned around and walked towards the door that was not particularly luxurious and luxurious. He had some doubts in his heart, but he still obediently waited downstairs.
Not long after, the cars on the side drove away. Because the glass was made of a special material, Mu Jinxuan was unable to see the expressions of the people inside clearly. There were a few large buildings that were a few years old. After patrolling the area for a while, he did not feel much of anything. The cold wind whistled gently, giving her an inexplicable feeling of coldness.
It was unknown whether it was because the floor was too high or because Du Yanqing's line of sight was too dull, neither Lu Juyan nor anyone else noticed. This made Du Yanqing feel very suspicious, and revealed a trace of a strange feeling in his heart.
Before Du Yanqing could think of anything else, the sound of a key opening the door sounded, causing her to withdraw her gaze. He intentionally turned around, and before she could do anything else, Lu Juyan had already opened the door. She awkwardly coughed lightly, meeting Lu Juyan's deep gaze. She could not help but ask: "Um, who is that woman downstairs?"
For some unknown reason, she didn't wish for that woman to have too many relationships with Lu Juyan, and at the same time, was faintly curious about his actions today. She did not realize that this was not a place of concern to her, nor that she was acting like a wife inquiring about her late husband's behavior.
"She's my assistant." Lu Juyan couldn't help but look away from Du Yanqing's clear gaze. Lowering his head, he picked up an empty cup from the table and poured himself a cup of clear water. He took a sip and then spoke with an indifferent tone.
Du Yanqing faintly felt that something was amiss, he glanced down and realised that the woman was still waiting downstairs. His gaze landed on Lu Juyan's body, and he discovered that's grave and cold face did not reveal any unusual expressions, so he could only choose to give him some trust.
The atmosphere suddenly became tranquil, and this caused Lu Juyan to uncontrollably meet Du Yanqing's gaze, and he once again looked away guiltily. Just as he put down the water in his hands, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Looking at the words on the screen, he pressed the answer button without much thought. Before he could say anything, he heard the other party's slightly anxious voice, "Mr Lu, my bag is in the car. Can I trouble you to get someone to drive the car back?"
Mu Jinxuan who was downstairs drove away for a few minutes, and realised that she did not have her knife bag with her at all. He was so stunned that he looked at the phone in his hand. His first reaction was to call Lu Juyan, but then he accidentally pressed Jing Chenxiao's number with his fingertip.
When Mu Jinxuan noticed that the person who called him was not Lu Juyan, he immediately hung up and dialed Lu Juyan's number. Perhaps the items in the bag weren't particularly precious, but they were extremely important to her. A trace of apprehension flashed in her eyes, as she was worried that the items inside would be taken away by someone.
"Right." Lu Juyan glanced at Du Yanqing's indifferent expression from the corner of his eyes, and only agreed after not noticing the abnormality of his expression. He didn't know what position Mu Jinxuan had in the bottom of Jing Chenxiao's heart, but he faintly felt that he should give the other party a place to stay.
Du Yanqing heard the contents of the call clearly. He glanced at Lu Juyan, then turned and returned to the bedroom, took out some clothes from the closet, and walked into the bathroom right in front of Lu Juyan. A strange feeling filled her heart, even she didn't know why it was so abnormal today.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Juyan looked at the light shining from the glass door of the bathroom and opened his mouth. However, he felt that there was nothing to say. Due to his uncomfortable mood, he didn't leave anything behind. He walked towards the door, lightly closed it, and left the place.
Inside the bathroom, Du Yanqing perked up his ears and listened for the sound coming from outside, just in time to hear the sound of the door closing. An uncomfortable feeling welled up in his heart. He unconsciously opened the door and looked at the empty room. He subconsciously walked towards the window, just in time to see Lu Juyan go downstairs and talk to the woman. Somehow, she didn't want to shift her gaze away, so she kept her eyes on the two downstairs.
"Hey, Xi Ao, bring the car back." Downstairs, Lu Juyan called Xi Ao in front of her, and coldly ordered.
Mu Jinxuan, who was standing at the side, vaguely felt that when Lu Juyan went upstairs, his emotions changed. However, it had nothing to do with him. It just stayed silent and looked away as if nothing had happened.
