Zhu Jin was a little bashful: "I sent him an email asking if he can come to my birthday celebration."
In less than half a month, it would be her eighteenth birthday.
Zhu Jin also had the mindset of giving it a try, but she never thought that Lu Haorann would actually reply to her, agree to return as soon as possible, and celebrate her birthday.
"Sis, Brother Haorann didn't come back for me. He came back for you. "Think about it. It's been four years, and now that he's accomplished in his studies, he still …"
Without waiting for Zhu Jin to finish speaking, Zhu Yu interrupted her coldly: "I will go pick up the plane, but it is only for you. Also, Lu Haorann and I have never been boyfriend and girlfriend, so you're not allowed to talk about this anymore.
She hung up the phone.
In her memory, Zhu Yu had never treated Zhu Jin seriously like this before.
A few seconds later, his phone rang again. It was Zhu Jin who sent him a begging expression.
On the screen, the little cartoon character hung with tears, looking pitiful.
Zhu Yu bit her finger and sighed.
If it was said that every girl's flower season would have a sunshine youth, then Lu Haorann was undoubtedly the most dazzling one.
There was a saying, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
If these words were said to Lu Haorann, it should have been that the greater the expectation, the greater the responsibility.
He didn't have a father, or rather, no one knew who Lu Haorann's biological father was. He had lived together with his mother since childhood.
It was for this reason that Lu Haorann carried too much of a burden at such a young age. His life had been planned ahead of time by his mother, he could not take even a single wrong step.
"Sis, this is Brother Haorann's flight number. He took off from San Francisco and landed at ten this evening. "
Zhu Jin sent another message over.
As Zhu Yu looked at it, his heart moved.
If he remembered correctly, there was only one flight back to Yuncheng from San Francisco every day.
Isn't that the same flight as Lu Zhiqing?
Zhu Yu subconsciously thought of this.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Would Lu Haorann really travel across half of the Earth for a little girl's birthday?
Could it be …
She suddenly panicked, as if she was about to do something that would let Lee Qingdong down.
"Sis, will you go?"
After waiting for a long time, Zhu Jin did not get a response, and so she quickly asked.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Yu still typed out one word, "Okay."
Without eating, she took the pill on an empty stomach and fell into a deep sleep.
When Zhu Yu woke up, the sky was already dark.
She hurriedly swallowed the already cold lunch box, quickly put on a light makeup, and took a taxi to the airport.
Along the way, Zhu Yu pressed down on her stomach that was faintly aching, and always felt like there was lead inside, causing her to feel as if her eyes were going black.
If only he had known that he would be in such pain, he wouldn't have eaten cold food …
While she was waiting in the departure lounge, Zhu Yu endured the discomfort and looked around every few minutes. It was clear that she was feeling guilty.
It was only when she suddenly remembered that Lu Zhiqing or Lee Qingdong would definitely go through the VIP entrance, did she finally relax.
"It scared me to death."
she muttered, laughing at her stupidity.
The flight was normal. The plane landed on time and passengers came out one after another.
Zhu Yu forced herself to keep her spirits up and tried to look for Lu Haorann's figure.
Actually, with his height of 1.85 meters and handsome facial features, he was definitely an eye-catching existence in the crowd.
As expected, Zhu Yu practically saw Lu Haorann with a single glance.
Then, she saw a young woman standing beside Lu Haorann.
The two of them chatted as they walked, their faces beaming with smiles.
That was … His girlfriend?
Zhu Yu's body stiffened for a second, but she still walked straight towards them.
"Yu!"
Lu Haorann raised his head and saw Zhu Yu as well. His Adam's apple rolled a few times as he shouted in a low voice.
If you looked closely, the hand holding the briefcase was trembling slightly.
"Mr. Lu, Zhu Jin asked me to come and get you."
Zhu Yu stood in front of him and said politely.
Hearing her words, Lu Haorann was obviously startled.
He had imagined their reunion countless times over the years.
However, reality was cruel.
"You are Miss Zhu right? Haorann told me about you all the way, but I didn't expect to see you so soon, I'm very happy to meet you! Right, my name is Lu Zhiqing, we are all surnamed Lu, we are all Yuncheng's people, what a coincidence! "
The young lady suddenly interjected. The moment she opened her mouth, she attracted all of Zhu Yu's attention.
Lu Zhiqing?!
The Lu Zhiqing that was engaged to Lee Qingdong?!
For a moment, Zhu Yu felt that she was about to faint.
Seeing her expression darken in a split-second, Lu Zhiqing revealed a face of worry, and immediately asked: "Miss Zhu, are you alright?"
"I …"
Zhu Yu only felt her stomach spasm violently, and then, her vision went black, and she fell backwards.
Until warm hands caught her.
A familiar voice came from beside her ears: "Zhiqing, didn't I ask someone to arrange a VIP entrance for you?"
As for the rest of the story, she was completely unable to understand it.
When she woke up, Zhu Yu realized that she was probably in the hospital ward.
She still had the needle buried in the back of her left hand and was in the process of infusion.
A man stood by the window. It was Lee Qingdong.
When he heard the sound, he turned around and frowned. "The doctor said you've had stomach trouble for a while. How come I don't know?"
Zhu Yu was startled by the question.
She licked her dry lips and asked tentatively, "Will this affect our contract?"
Was it because of his stomach disease that he had to do that thing with him?
On the same day, she mentioned the "contract" for the second time.
Lee Qingdong looked at her angrily: "You fainted at the airport, don't you have any impression of it?"
Being reminded by him, only then did Zhu Yu remember.
She went to the airport to pick Lu Haorann up, and in the end, she actually met Lu Zhiqing!
Right, where are they?
Zhu Yu immediately became anxious. She did not know if Lee Qingdong knew or not, and furthermore, she did not tell him that she had arrived at the airport.
Could he have misunderstood something?
"You just separated from me in the morning and then came to see your old lover in the evening. You sure are busy."
Her worry was not unnecessary, in the next second, Lee Qingdong taunted her.
"If you investigate carefully, you will know that other than going to the same university, Lu Haorann and I have no other relationship."
Zhu Yu turned her head and said calmly.
That was what she had been telling herself all these years.
A lie would be true even if it was told a thousand times.
Besides, it was the truth.
"You think I haven't checked?"
Lee Qingdong's tone was much more relaxed than before. He walked over with large strides and pinched Zhu Yu's small jaw, and gently caressed it with her fingertips.
"Zhu Yu, you are not allowed to think about other men in your heart, and you are not allowed to be touched by other men either."
After pausing for a second, he mimicked her tone and added, "During our contract period."
