The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 978 - 60: Do You Know Why I Got Drunk?

"Good! My second granddaughter really has been made worthless by us since childhood. Being able to marry you can be considered a good deed. However, I hope that because she was treated like this in the Li Family, that after marrying you, you will treat her well. After all, we owe her."

"Don’t worry, if I’m asking her to marry me, how could I not be sincere in treating her well?"

...

Li Mengru didn’t expect things would turn out this way, so when Lu Beiyao hurriedly chased after his sister, she could only sit in place, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Mingyu was already pulled away by Li Minghui, only Zhou Ju’an continued sitting in front of her, "Was it you suggested Sisi go abroad, along with me?"

"Don’t you want to? If you don’t take her away soon, I’ll lose Lu Beiyao, and you’ll lose her too."

Zhou Ju’an chuckled softly, "You’re right, but you should at least inform me, otherwise how can I cooperate?"

"I’ll tell you next time!"

Li Mengru sighed, stood up and walked outside, only to see Lu Beiyao standing not far away looking at her. Li Mengru walked over with a smile and asked, "Are you going to the company?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"No, I have something to tell you."

"You, what do you want to tell me?" Li Mengru’s heart was uneasy, she felt it wasn’t anything good; why did he look for her after looking for Li Siru?

It wasn’t until they reached a secluded place that Lu Beiyao stopped and lit a cigarette, taking a drag as he furrowed his brow, seemingly not knowing how to start.

Li Mengru stood beside him, watching her for a while, then hesitated several times before speaking up, "I never saw you smoke before!"

"I smoke when I’m alone," he answered lightly.

Li Mengru nodded, "It seems I really don’t know you as well as I thought. I thought you only drank coffee, thought you didn’t let anyone sit in the passenger seat, thought you never smoked. Turns out, it was only a one-sided view. Thinking back, we really didn’t spend much time alone together, mostly doing our own things."

She would sit quietly beside him, watching him and doing her own thing, secretly observing his likes, but it turns out it only showed a part of his preferences.

"So, finding out there’s a difference between what you know and the real me, do you have any other thoughts?" Lu Beiyao asked.

Li Mengru shook her head, "It’s good, I feel grateful to know more about you, it makes you seem real. Even though I’ve known you for many years, the you before always seemed so distant to me, like an extraordinary person. Now I know, Lu Beiyao is flesh and blood, real... someone I can touch."

She reached out her hand toward his face, Lu Beiyao slightly furrowed his brows, and Li Mengru’s hand stopped a few centimeters away from his face.

Lu Beiyao turned his face away and took a drag of his cigarette, and Li Mengru withdrew her hand too.

"Lu Beiyao, what did you want to tell me?" She gripped the hem of her clothes, seemingly prepared to hear whatever he had to say.

Lu Beiyao exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his head, and asked, "Was it you who brought me back to the Li Family last night?"

"Yes, you were drunk, I wanted to take you back to the Lu Family, but your parents would misunderstand, so I simply brought you back."

"You could have taken me to the YT Hotel! No, you didn’t have to go there at all." Lu Beiyao said seriously, "Mengru, we’ve known each other for so many years, this should be the first time you’ve seen me drunk, right? Do you know why I got drunk?"
