Chapter 263: Mingzhu, Wait for Me for Two Years!
all out.The golden Continental slowly drove into Wenman's residential area.He parked the car and raised his hand to look at the time. "It's already three o'clock, Wen Man, should I stay overnight"Wen...Lu Qian got out of the car first.
He went around to her side, opened the car door, and gazed at her in the darkness.
Huo Mingzhu's slender neck was taut, with visible veins.
Lu Qian is very patient.
After a long silence, Huo Mingzhu finally stepped out of the car and walked ahead without even looking at him.
Under a dim street lamp.
Her slender figure was hidden in the shadow of a camphor tree. In early autumn, the leaves were already showing signs of decay, and for some reason, they seemed to have taken on an air of melancholy.
Lu Qian closed the car door.
He strode a few steps, grabbed her wrist before she could react, and pulled her into his arms.
Perhaps it was the alluring night, or maybe it was a touch of nostalgia.
He had completely lost his sense of propriety.
He kissed her under the tree, gripping her nape and pressing her roughly against the trunk... He went straight in, deeply so that she could barely breathe!
"Lu Qian! Let me go!"
Hu Mingzhu pounded his shoulders, struggling with all her might, but she couldn't budge him.
Soon, her mouth and nose were filled with the smell of tobacco.
Everywhere, his scent!
Lu Qian looked clean and tidy, but only she knew that he had tainted her. His faint masculine scent would linger on her for a long, long time...
The rough kiss lasted for a long time.
Finally, he released his hold on her.
Then, his slender and handsome face received a resounding slap, the sound particularly distinct in the darkness.
Lu Qian was charming and suave.
But almost everyone knows he has a bad temper. Women to him are merely調節, and no woman has ever dared to act spoiled or play tricks on him, let alone slap him in the face.
Only Huo Mingzhu did it.
After the kiss, she turned away with reddened eyes: "What right do you have to kiss me Lu Qian, what do you think I am Did you bring me here to continue being your secret lover"
Lu Qian's tongue touched the top of his mouth, it must have been broken.
She's got some real pep in her step!
He gazed deeply: "I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself!"
He hadn't had her in a long time, and he wasn't being proud. He knew his body craved her desperately... those nights had stayed with him all these years.
Not a moment!
But Lu Qian also knew his limits. He knew that kiss had gone too far.
He apologized to her: "Go on up! There are some documents that need your signature!"
Ho Mingzhu hesitated for a moment but agreed. After all, they had a child, and with his status, she was afraid he would try to take custody of their child from her.
After a moment, I entered the apartment building.
Everything remained as before, the furnishings were still extravagant, and it was clear that they had been well-maintained.
The dining table even had washed fruit, all her favorites!
Each one is plump and juicy.
Lu Qian led the way and, following her gaze, said softly: "I had Secretary Liu prepare these! All these years, he still remembers what you like to eat!"
Ho Mingzhu's throat felt a metallic tang...
She clenched her hand tightly, telling herself not to be swayed by his gentle facade anymore.
Lu Qian wanted to win people's hearts, it was too easy!
He is such a smooth talker, he can win people over with just a few words!
If she hadn't been hurt so badly, she thought she would have succumbed to his allure again, perhaps even tonight, lost in passionate embrace within the opulent confines of his apartment...
It's a pity she is no longer innocent and naive.
She spoke calmly: "I think what you want to tell me is about Shuoshuo! Now you can say it, and after you finish, send me home! I'm different from Mr. Lu, I agree to date someone. If we continue to be unclear, it would be disrespectful!"
Lu Qian let out a wry smile: "So concerned It has to be him"
She didn't respond.
His eyes dimmed a little, he walked to the sofa and knelt down to sit, motioning for her to sit as well: "Come here and have a look at these files!"
Huo Mingzhu pursed her lips.
She sat down, a stack of files spread out before her. She flipped through a few pages, which seemed to be about Shuo Shuo's alimony.
Ho Mingzhu didn't refuse.
Shuo Shuo is their child together, he is willing to pay for her upbringing, she has no reason to refuse.
This is what my sister-in-law said.
My sister-in-law said, if you can't get the man, then get his money! For example, when she broke up with my older brother, he kept giving her bigger and bigger checks.
But Lu Qian made things complicated.
She was a high achiever at the business school, it was dizzying even to look at.
Lu Qian gazed at her face, which looked better than before, a little plumper.
He's actually quite odd. Even though Mingzhu isn't young anymore, she still has baby fat. It's probably because she's carefree and doesn't think much.
At this time, her face was furrowed with worry.
Lu Qian smiled lightly: "With her brain, it's unlikely she could figure these things out even after a night of looking at them!"
He likes seeing her like this!
He went to cut fruit.
In the past, he would meet her here, and she wouldn't do anything but call him "Uncle Lu" as he lay beneath her. He, Uncle Lu, would wait on her for everything: eating, dressing, bathing. Now that they can't... he still couldn't help but want to wait on her.
Lu Qian carefully selected a few fruits, peeled them and arranged them on a plate, offering it to her.
Huomingzhu glanced at him.
He also looked at her quietly: "I haven't put anything messy!"
He actually saw her on a date with someone at night, eating at an upscale restaurant. But through the glass, he saw that she ate very little, probably because it didn't agree with her.
Ho Mingzhu ate a few pieces of fruit.
Viewed from the side, her little mouth pouted out, giving her a touch of cuteness.
Lu Qian's heart softened, and he couldn't help but say gently, "There are ingredients in the refrigerator. I'll cook for you!"
Huo Mingzhu was clearly taken aback.
She put down the file in her hand and suddenly spoke in a soft voice: "Mr. Lu, our business is over! Besides Suosuo, we have nothing to do with each other! Don't make us like we used to, there's no need for that!"
Lu Qian was tying on an apron.
Upon hearing this, he paused, tilting his head to look at her: "Mingzhu, what if I were"
A deathly silence...
This apartment, it's filled with so many memories of them! Sweet and tender ones, but none like this... pale and powerless, looking past each other.
Lu Qian took off his apron and walked back to his original seat.
He just came clean to her.
"My Pearl! These things in your hands are half of my private assets. They are also a part of the Lu family that cannot be separated! I think you should know that this is definitely not the cost of raising a child! Pearl, please don't call me Mr. Lu anymore, just call me Uncle Lu or Qian..."
Huo Mingzhu's voice was a little stiff: "Do you want to get back together with me"
Lu Qian wore a troubled expression.
He had never begged anyone in his life, nor had he ever lowered himself. But that day, he knelt before the Huo family.
He impulsively wanted to marry her!
But then some things happened in city C, that project, two technical staff died.
It's all car accidents!
The scene was gruesome, with no witnesses.
Lu Qian had no way to risk her life with Shuo Shuo, and he couldn't tell her the truth! Because that project was a top-secret plan that had been in place for three years.
No one knew he had a child except for Ms. Liu, his secretary!
So he gave her these, with only one request: "Mingzhu, wait for me two years!"
Huomingzhu was choked with emotion.
Her lips trembled slightly, and it took her a long time to recover.
After a long silence, she finally spoke in a low voice, “Why should I wait for you Three years ago, you made me wait! I waited in B City, I waited here in this apartment. Now, three years later, you want me to keep waiting! Mr. Lu, how many two-year periods does a woman have”
She is in her early thirties!
She gave birth to his child, and he asked her to wait two more years!
She understood what he meant. As his secretary, she had an intimate relationship with him. When he came to city B, he would meet her secretly, just like three years ago. How dare he... make such a request!
Huo Mingzhu pushed aside those files.
Her expression was even colder than when she arrived: "Mr. Lu, I don't want any of this!"
Lu Qian sat there.
Huomingzhu left, and he didn't chase after her. He just dialed a call to Liu the secretary, his voice tired: "She's gone, you send her home!"
He hung up the phone after that.
He quietly picked up the files, looking at each number. They were all meant for her.
She doesn't want it!
Yes, the Huo family is not short of money.
This Mr. Lu, who was so successful and prosperous, couldn't give her love, nor could he give her a stable life. In other words, he couldn't give her anything she wanted...
She refused to wait, and actually she was right!
Why should we wait for him
Does he, even though he is old, still want to keep her hidden away from the world
Lu Qian suddenly leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes slightly. He tried his best to restrain himself, but the corners of his eyes were still hot.
Huo Mingzhu didn't take Liu's secretary's car.
She hailed a taxi.
She sat in the car, crying her heart out. The driver couldn't bear to see it and gave her a large pack of tissues.
She cried and called Wen Man.
It was late, but Wen Man still picked up her call quickly. Her voice was very gentle: “Mingzhu, what’s wrong”
Huo Mingzhu sobbed.
She held a tissue to her nose, her voice choked with sobs: "Sister-in-law, he's such an asshole! Waaah... How could he do that to me! I used to think he liked me a little bit, but he... I hate him!"
Wen Man listened to these childish words.
She chuckled softly, then felt a pang of sympathy. After soothing him with a few words, she whispered, "Are you in the car Then come over here!"
"Huo Mingzhu nodded and said, "I'm willing."
Wen Man hung up the phone and dialed Lu Qian's number.
She's in a tough spot, and she tries to be diplomatic: "Uncle, Mingzhu called me! I told her to come over here tonight!"
Lu Qian's voice was hoarse: "She didn't eat much for dinner, you make her eat something!"
Wen Man hummed in agreement.
She hung up the phone and went to the kitchen to make a late-night snack.
Ho Shao-ting followed him in.
He was making milk for Xiao Huo Xi and casually asked, "Did they have a fight"
Wen Man hummed softly and gently lifted the lid.
When the chicken noodle soup came to a boil, she caught a whiff of the sesame oil and suddenly felt a wave of nausea…
This feeling is so familiar!re really tough! Until this year, Ho Xi has been basically stable. Although she still gets the occasional minor illness, she will grow up well!"Wen Man gently put the file down.She looked at him, soft...
