Pei Yiwu’s bright eyes sparkled and with a sweet smile, she uttered, “Lu Yang, get in the car. I’ll take you to meet someone.”
After getting in the car, Pei Yiwu took the initiative to bring it up, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t in the country when the rumors about you and Lu Mingyu were flying all over the place. I couldn’t explain it in time.”
“The person involved did nothing wrong, there’s no need to apologize,” Lu
Yang asked, “Who are we going to see?”
Pei Yiwu teased, “You’ll know soon enough.”
The car stopped in front of a café.
Lu Yang followed Pei Yiwu and saw an elegant and refined person sitting inside.
As Lu Yang saw the other person’s appearance, she paused for a moment and felt a hint of unease.
Bright eyes, moist lips, noble and elegant demeanor.
Jiang Ruzi’s gaze fell on Lu Yang’s plain face and gestured for her to sit down, saying, “Here you are.”
Pei Yiwu said, “You two chat, I’ll go outside and take a look.”
Lu Yang and Jiang Ruzi sat facing each other.
Jiang Ruzi had an outstanding appearance, looking even more carefree than Lu Yang herself. She raised her hand, and a waiter brought a drink.
“I heard that you like matcha lattes, so I took the liberty of ordering one for you to try,” Jiang Ruzi said.
“Thank you.”
“Yesterday, we met in a hurry, and I didn’t bring you a gift,” Jiang Ruzi took out a delicate small gift box and pushed it in front of Lu Yang, “A small gift.”
She withdrew her hand calmly, scooped some coffee from her cup, and had an affectionate smile on her face. “You’re a smart person, so I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll be direct.’
A typical strategy of giving compliments before discussing serious matters.
A faint smile curved at the corner of Lu Yang’s mouth. “Please go ahead.”
“When you left Yanzhou in the past, it caused him deep pain. I don’t want it to happen again,” Jiang Ruzi said, “Moreover, you two aren’t in a love affair, but in a secret competition against each other.”
“There’s no rule that says being in love must involve acting cute, blushing, and being overly affectionate all the time,” Lu Yang affirmed, “We are in love.”
“Your family has always respected you since childhood, so you won’t like men who disrespect and stereotype women,” Jiang Ruzi said mysteriously, “Lu Yang, your family loves you very much, especially your brother who carries the expectations of the whole family. He uses his life to spoil and love you.”
Lu Yang thought to herself that Jiang Ruzi was indeed Jiang Ruzi, as she had thoroughly investigated her background in such a short time.
A gentle woman, but with an undeniable sense of intimidation.
In terms of observing words and expressions and calculating, Jiang Ruzi surpassed both her and Jiang Yanzhou.
Jiang Ruzi said, “You have a lot of love, which has led to your high expectations when it comes to love.”
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yang’s eyelashes trembled, and she asked, “Are you trying to persuade me to leave Jiang Yanzhou today?”
Jiang Ruzi didn’t directly answer, but changed the topic with confidence, “Whether it’s in the business world or political arena, people in high positions are very different from the domineering CEOs portrayed in TV dramas. They are full of indifference and calculations.”
Lu Yang certainly understood this reasoning.
In bed, they’re passionate and give to each other, but behind the scenes, they can be heartless and unscrupulous, turning their backs on each other. They’re everywhere.
Manipulation and scheming are commonplace.
As Lu Yang pondered, she heard the person across from her speak again:
“Lu Yang, thank you…” Her voice trailed off slightly, with a smiling tone, “I’m glad that Yanzhou has encountered you and gained warmth.” Lu Yang was stunned, her gaze meeting Jiang Ruzi’s.
“Did you think I was an evil sister, trying to break you two apart?” “Didn’t you say you don’t want Jiang Yanzhou to be hurt again?
“Yes,” Jiang Ruzi’s lips carried a gentle smile, “As long as you two don’t separate, the problem will be solved at its root.”
There will always be someone better, and deeper waters lie ahead.
They chatted for a long time.
Pei Yiwu’s ostensible reason for going abroad was to participate in extreme sports, but in reality, she went to pick up Jiang Ruzi.
After causing a disturbance for a couple of months, when they returned, the situation escalated. First, there was the matter of Fei Zhen and Jiang Ruzi, then the rumors about Lu Mingyu, followed by the emergence of Lu Yang and Jiang Yanzhou’s relationship.
In all this, what intrigued Lu Yang the most was the true nature of Fei Zhen’s and Jiang Ruzi’s relationship.
And to her surprise, they even had a son!
Pei Yiwu stared intently at the two people talking, and when Jiang Ruzi got up, she straightened her posture as well.
“Ruzi, you’re here. Where’s Lu Yang?” she asked.
Jiang Ruzi patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I didn’t make things difficult for her. Let’s go, we’re going to meet Fei Zhen, right?”
“Do you want me to call a car for Lu Yang?” Pei Yiwu hesitated and asked.
“No need, someone will come to pick her up later.”
“Okay.”
Snow was still falling, and the sky was getting dark.
Lu Yang wore headphones, her gaze unfocused as she looked outside. There was an empty box on the table, and her phone was connected to a USB drive.
“Your attitude towards Yanzhou is so calm because you seem indifferent on the surface, but deep down, you’re still somewhat guarded.”
“As for Yanzhou’s restraint, I’m sure you know better than I do.”
The favored one always had a sense of security. Jiang Yanzhou dared not be jealous or forceful towards her. He knew she liked him, but she didn’t love him that much.
Their current relationship was more like friends, not yet lovers, and still far from being true soulmates.
The familiar voice continued in her headphones.
“What type of person do you like?” the calm male voice asked.
“At the very least, they have to be more composed than me,” the light-hearted female voice replied, half-jokingly. “If the other person is not composed, what would happen if I lose control? We can’t destroy the world together, can we?”
“Is there anything else?”
“Well… they should interest me. Interest is the best teacher and the most addictive seasoning.”
“Studying the human body or studying psychology?” he asked.
“Both can be studied,” she replied nonchalantly.
“Do you find me interesting?
“Huh?”
Every step was taken with extreme caution, so the phone calls were automatically recorded as well.
The call records were searched by Jiang Yanzhou for two years, and Jiang Ruzi had hidden them for two years.
Jiang Ruzi didn’t know about Lu Yang’s whereabouts before because Jiang Yanzhou had erased them.
She didn’t want to argue with him, so she didn’t continue to investigate. But her precious son had innocently told her in his own words:
Uncle Yanzhou has only ever liked his sister. Mommy, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is the other woman? Is it a fairy tale sister? 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
With a heavy heart, Jiang Ruzi checked everything thoroughly and obtained information similar to what Lu Yang had found earlier, but she had kept some things hidden.
The snowfall was getting heavier.
The cup in front of Lu Yang had long been empty. She blinked her eyes, feeling a hint of bitterness in them.
When she turned her head, she saw a person at the door, approaching her with a scarf in hand.
Snowflakes were still clinging to Jiang Yanzhou’s hair, but he ignored that and put the scarf around her neck. His warm hand covered her frozen, red ears.
“Are you cold?”
“I’m fine.”
Lu Yang asked, “Why did you come?”
“If I didn’t come, would you have to walk back all the way in the cold?” Jiang Yanzhou furrowed his brows and took out a pair of gloves from his pocket to put on her. Lu Yang resisted, “I don’t want to wear gloves. Wearing gloves would affect my actions.”
“No refusal allowed,” he said. “Lu Yang, don’t refuse me.”
An idea struck Lu Yang. “If you act spoiled, I won’t refuse you. How about that?”
“Are you taking responsibility?”
“What responsibility?”
“Having good luck when acting spoiled. If I act spoiled, you should make sure I have good luck.”
“What counts as having good luck?”
“You acting spoiled to me.”
On the way back, they stopped at a supermarket to buy some food. When they arrived home, Lu Yang suddenly took out a treasured bottle of wine.
“Last time I saw that you could hold your liquor well. How about we play a game?”
“What game?”
“Ask a question. If you can’t answer, you drink a shot of strong liquor.”
Jiang Yanzhou looked at her enthusiastic expression and agreed, “Sure.”
He fetched two glasses, and they sat face to face on the sofa, each holding a glass.
“Do you like me?” Jiang Yanzhou asked first.
“Naturally. If I didn’t like you, why would I have played with you for so long?” Lu Yang readily replied, clinking her glass against his. In Jiang Yanzhou’s smile, she took a sip of the drink.
“When did you start liking me?” Lu Yang asked.
“To be honest, I’m not entirely sure. Lu Yang, liking someone is not an easy thing. There’s no specific moment in time..”
