“Why…” Lin Yu He stuttered in shock. “Why do you suddenly want to be together?”
Compared to Lin Yu He’s astonishment, Lu Nan’s expression was very calm, as if he was talking about something that was to be taken for granted.
“Ning Ning, tonight is our wedding night.”
Lin Yu He choked for a moment.
But it was obvious that…
Lu Nan slowed down his voice, and his tone was calm, like a patient instructor.
“We may go to the Lu household tomorrow. What they care about the most is our relationship.”
Their relationship should be like a real couple.
What does a couple in love do on their wedding night?
It was self-explanatory.
Lin Yu He was speechless.
It was only at this time that he realised that the words Mr. Lu said in the car, “I have to work hard for you to cooperate”, had turned out to be to cooperate with something like this.
“I understand,” Lin Yu He nodded mindlessly, “it’s just that…”
It didn’t matter how much preparation he had made in advance. When he was actually standing at the door of the bathroom with Lu Nan, it was still difficult for him to take this step.
But to take a shower together…
Lin Yu He was hesitating, when he felt the man in front of him move suddenly. Almost subconsciously, Lin Yu He took a step back.
But after he finished retreating, Lin Yu He realised that Lu Nan did not step forward, but retreated half a step as well.
The man didn’t want to force him, but actually seemed to be afraid of scaring him.
One step at a time, until there was a considerable distance between the two of them.
And Lu Nan still asked, “Are you nervous?”
Lin Yu He opened his mouth, and his lips began to dry again. He heard Lu Nan say: “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, if you don’t want it then we won’t do so.”
Lin Yu He froze for a moment, he was still hesitating, but he saw Lu Nan really had turned around.
“Go and wash up first, we can talk after.”
The man left decisively.
“I’m going to answer the phone.”
But Lin Yu He didn’t hear the phone ringing. Lu Nan had said this only to reassure him.
In the end, Lin Yuhe entered the bathroom alone as he had wished, but it was not as relaxing as he imagined.
On the contrary, bitter guilt rose from the bottom of his heart and spread to the root of his tongue, which could not be melted away or dissipated.
Mr. Lu’s behaviour made Lin Yu He regretful.
He was so incompetent.
Lin Yu He recalled the agreement they signed at the beginning, which clearly stated that the wedding was the most important display, and that they must not let the Lu family be suspicious of their relationship.
Moreover, the agreement also stated that on the night of the wedding, depending on the movements of the Lu family, they must cooperate to make corresponding actions as necessary.
Lin Yu He had just resisted that kind of thing with all his heart, but now he remembered that the agreement stated that the relationship must be consensual between the two, and Mr. Lu clearly did not say that he would really do it.
He just needed to make people think they did.
It was Lin Yu He who thought too much and flinched.
Lin Yu He pinched his palms angrily and sighed.
He could only make up for it after he got out.
He took a messy shower, hurriedly changed into a bathrobe and walked out.
The air outside was a bit cold, and Lin Yu He’s skin was shivering with a thin layer of goosebumps. He took a deep breath and walked towards the living room.
But when he walked to the living room, he found that Mr. Lu was still on the phone.
The man’s face was serious, thin lips pursed into a cold line, and he would occasionally respond a few times. The words he talked about were all related to the Lu family.
Lu Nan had received too many calls related to the Lu family today. It seemed that there were some difficult problems over there.
Lin Yu He felt more and more guilty when he thought of his resistance just earlier.
He didn’t bother the man, and instead went to brush his hair by himself.
Lin Yu He thought while drying his hair, it was very hard for Mr. Lu to deal with the powerful Lu family. It was precisely because Lu Nan didn’t want to be controlled by the Lu family that there was an agreed marriage in the first place.
This was something that has been decided long ago, and he really shouldn’t drop the chain.
Moreover, Mr. Lu was much busier than him, and he mentioned sleeping on the cruise ship earlier, so Mr. Lu must have wanted to finish things early tonight and go to bed early.
He couldn’t waste Mr. Lu’s time any longer.
Over there, Lu Nan had already finished answering the phone. He put down the phone, pinched his tall, straight nose, and his brows and eyes seemed a little tired.
But when Lin Yu He walked over, the man quickly returned to his usual appearance, and even cared about his business: “Dry your hair.”
“Okay.” Lin Yu He obediently agreed, “Brother, go wash up too.”
Lu Nan got up and went to the bathroom.
Lin Yu He took a breath and calmed down his gradually accelerating heartbeat.
He was ready.
Lu Nan came out quickly, as if confirming Lin Yu He’s guess, wanting to finish the work and rest early.
Lin Yu He didn’t want to cause trouble for the other party, so he stepped forward and said, “Let’s go to the bedroom.”
It hadn’t seemed that difficult to say this sentence, and Lin Yu He himself was relieved. It was just that when he walked into the bedroom, he felt a faint chill on the back of his neck, like an instinctive warning of danger.
But when he turned his head, there was nothing unusual behind him. He merely met Lu Nan’s deep eyes, which were as calm as the sea.
Lin Yu He continued to walk into the bedroom first.
