Chapter 039: Coming Home

In this escape, Wen Lu has a little bit of "self-inflicted affection" in her heart, it's not that Zhong Zhicheng is not attentive enough, it's just that they always seem to owe a little bit of fire between them.

They have a tacit understanding and have a clear understanding of the emotional boundaries between each other. The two obviously knew that the other party intended to take that step, but there was always some embarrassment and helplessness, covering up the original simple feelings, but it became more and more complicated.

Wen Lu asked her heart clearly, do you like Zhong Zhicheng? The answer is not whether she likes or dislikes it explicitly, but she admits that she has been moved.

Motivation and liking are a thing?

Wen Lu couldn't figure it out herself.

Tangled, awkward, maybe this is the unspeakable bitterness between her and Zhong Zhicheng.

Presumably Zhong Zhicheng is the same, he doesn't like her, but he is just habitually caring.

Green Island Pier.

The sea breeze blows the saltiness of the sea, enveloping it in the cold, and hits with the cold.

Ellison hurried over with Xu Ke, and was relieved to see the figure standing next to the desk safe and sound from a distance.

"Let's go, go back," Lu Yaocheng noticed the two people who were coming, and his frozen voice commanded.

"Sir, I'll contact Miss Wen right now and ask her to come back as soon as possible," Ellison gestured as he pulled out his cell phone to call.

"No," Lu Yaocheng was very calm, turning around and walking onto the Cayenne he was driving.

Xu Ke glanced at Ellison, got into the driver's seat, and started the car.

Lu Yaocheng leaned on the back seat tiredly, took off his glasses, and gently kneaded the bridge of his nose.

Xu Ke looked at Lu Yaocheng from the rearview mirror. He didn't say a word, he seemed calm, and he didn't get angry, except for some exhaustion.

Xu Ke, who has followed Lu Yaocheng for many years, knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

Lu Yaocheng has never been a kind person, Lu Yaocheng doesn't seem to say anything about Wen Lu's departure, but Xu Ke believes that it won't be long before Wen Lu will come back obediently.

"Tomorrow, I will find the media to release the news, and I will say that Tiansheng Pharmaceutical agrees with the merger and acquisition plan proposed by Mr. Qi," Lu Yaocheng said coldly, "Wen Luan's case, the investigation team will also go to ventilate." โ€

"Yes, Mr. Lu," Xu Ke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The boss is going to make a move, I don't know if Miss Wen can eat it.

Ellison knocked lightly on the window, and the glass sank, revealing Lu Yaocheng's grim face.

"Sir, you can't drive by yourself next time, it's too dangerous," Ellison still had a lingering feeling now, "the last time you drove becauseโ€”"

"There won't be a next time, don't worry," Lu Yaocheng interrupted him in a deep voice.

Ellison finally swallowed the words of advice in his throat, and when he heard Lu Yaocheng's categorical answer to him, he gradually put his heart back into his stomach.

"Sir, you are too concerned about Miss Wen," Ellison kindly reminded, "Although I don't know what your intentions are, you are the crown prince of the Lu family, and your future wife must be a famous and promising young lady of the family." As for Miss Wen - you should know her identity, even if you choose to keep her in the future, she will not be able to ascend to the hall of elegance after all, and can only become the 'kind' woman in other people's mouths. โ€

Lu Yaocheng sank for a while before he spoke, "Ellison, what do you think of this island?" โ€

Ellison looked at Lu Yaocheng suspiciously.

"The villas on this island are short of people to take care of, do you want to try it?" Lu Yaocheng asked coldly.

"Mr. Lu, it's me who has overstepped the rules," Ellison stood respectfully, half-bent up, and immediately admitted his mistake.

"Sir, as the chief steward of the Lu family, Ellison's opinion is for your consideration, which is understandable. What's moreโ€”Mr. Lu's sideโ€”has a lot of complaints about Miss Wen's affairs, I'm afraid it ......" Xu Ke originally wanted to remind Lu Yaocheng, but as a subordinate, he didn't dare to question Lu Yaocheng's decision. Ellison was bold enough to bring it up, and he hoped that it would serve as some persuasion.

Lu Yaocheng didn't say anything more, his originally calm face suddenly profound, and his eyebrows sank.

"What made you investigate, do you have an eyebrow?" Lu Yaocheng frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Ke became serious and replied seriously: "You do have a half-brother, but I haven't grasped the specific situation yet. When your mother was sick at home, Mr. Lu often haunted the villa on the outskirts of the Lu family, and according to the property, there was still a woman and a little boy living in the villa at that time. โ€

Lu Yaocheng is the rightful prince of the Lu family, but Lu Yaocheng doesn't seem to be interested in the Lu family's business, and he ran away to start a business, which made Mr. Lu and Lu Yaocheng's grandfather very dissatisfied.

Now that the Lu family has an illegitimate son who has been separated for many years, the issue of heir selection is a sharp sword across Lu Yaocheng's head.

The patriarchs of the Lu family have always thought that Lu Yaocheng and the Lu family's family business have no good feelings, but Xu Ke knows that Lu Yaocheng is definitely an ambitious man, how can he easily give up what is at his fingertips in front of him.

He sent someone to investigate the half-brother, and based on this alone, Xu Ke could conclude that Lu Yaocheng definitely had other thoughts.

It's just that he always hides his thoughts very deeply, and others can't easily snoop on them. For example, now, Xu Ke knew that Lu Yaocheng had ambitions for the Lu family's family business, but he refused to settle in the Lu family, but chose to start his own business, which made Xu Ke wonder.

"Find them and confirm their current identity," Lu Yaocheng's eyes were soaked in meaning, and he put his glasses back on, "Their business is not in a hurry." Xu Ke, next Wednesday is the day I go for a review, right? โ€

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I have already made an appointment with the attending doctor for you," Xu Ke chuckled in his heart.

Lu Yaocheng is about to make a move.

***

All night, Wen Lu leaned on Zhong Zhicheng's shoulder.

Seeing that the sky began to turn white, she didn't fall asleep all night, either she wasn't sleepy or she didn't dare to sleep. She was afraid that her last quiet and comfortable time would pass too quickly, so she was reluctant to sleep.

But there is a time when the sky is bright after all, and after sobering, there is reality to face after all.

The speedboat is getting closer and closer to the coastline, but Wen Lu is getting farther and farther away from Zhong Zhicheng's heart.

"Go to work, this night has really hurt you," Wen Lu looked at Zhong Zhicheng's slightly tired face.

"What about you?" Zhong Zhicheng wanted to know her plans and thoughts.

Wen Lu looked at the azure sky, the clouds were thick, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, "I signed a contract with him," she smiled bitterly, "Originally, it was to prevent him from breaking the contract, but I didn't expect it to become a stumbling block for myself." If you want to withdraw now, it's impossible at all, so you can only wait a year before you make plans. โ€

She looked at Zhong Zhicheng's tangled and bitter face, and smiled helplessly, "But I don't regret it, at least this time I choose to believe in my heart." Yesterday, I was really happy. โ€

Zhong Zhicheng didn't give her any promises, let alone any reason, he just asked her if she was willing to go with her, and she chose to board the ship with him without hesitation.

Wen Lu knew that her heart was too thirsty. Thirst for warmth, thirst for the warmth of love. But she and Zhong Zhicheng are like mismatched keys and locks, and they can never match each other properly.

He couldn't clearly express his love for her, which made Wen Lu dare not easily surrender his sincerity. Wen Lu is too, in addition to being moved by Zhong Zhicheng, she is more wary, not that she doesn't trust him, but she wants to guard her heart, she is afraid of getting hurt.

Her depiction of love is definitely not the kind of Zhong Zhicheng.

Maybe she is extreme and paranoid, she stubbornly believes that love is to identify a person, he sets fire, and she pours oil on it; He kills, and she helps bury the body; He betrayed his relatives, and she would say that it didn't matter if she was still there.

Her love is absolutely passionate, Zhong Zhicheng is as warm as water, they are not destined to be the same kind of people.

The blowing ends of her hair prove that the wind has come, and her excited heart also proves that her love has also appeared for a short time.

Zhong Zhicheng was speechless and silently sent Wen Lu home.

Wen Lu's home is in an ordinary residential area, and the houses in the old city are old and dilapidated, but the neighborhood atmosphere here is very strong.

The familiar old street, lined with thick French plane trees, some people push carts to sell, and some people set up stalls to shout.

Zhong Zhicheng and Wen Lu have walked this road together countless times, but this time, the feeling is particularly profound.

When he walked downstairs, Zhong Zhicheng paused, "Go up, take a good rest." โ€

"It's still early, do you want to come up for breakfast?" Wen Lu sent out an invitation as before.

Zhong Zhicheng shook his head, "You can talk to your aunt, you and Wen Luan haven't been home for a long time." โ€

"We haven't come back since Wen Luan's accident," Wen Lu looked upstairs, "You go to work, I'll go up." โ€

Wen Lu did not force Zhong Zhicheng and accepted his kindness of not wanting to disturb her to get along with her family.

When she went upstairs, Wen Lu thought that this was her and Zhong Zhicheng. There is an irresistible sense of distance in the intimacy, and they are inherently intimately intimately like lovers.

When Wen Lu arrived home, Wen Lu's mother had already gotten up and was about to go out to open a store.

"Lulu?" As soon as Wen's mother opened the door, she saw Wen Lu who was going upstairs, "Why did you come back early in the morning?" โ€

"I'm a little tired, I want to come back and rest," Wen Lu didn't sleep all night, and her eyes were black.

Wen's mother hurriedly welcomed her in, "Is it too heavy to study?" You must be tired as doctors, come and rest for a while. I didn't eat breakfast, I'll cook for you. โ€

"Mom," Wen Lu pulled Wen's mother, "You don't have to worry about me, let's go to the store first." The store is still waiting for you to open. โ€

"That's our own shop, it's okay to open it late for a while," Wen's mother didn't care about this, but more about the daughter in front of her, "I'll get you some simple food, you eat and rest first." โ€

Wen Lu originally wanted Wen's mother not to be busy, but later felt that she would definitely not be able to persuade her, so she went with her.

She lay down on the couch and fell asleep in a daze.

Wen's mother made breakfast, turned around and saw Wen Lu who was already asleep on the sofa, and shook her head helplessly.

Keeping breakfast warm and going out carefully, she was reluctant to wake Wen Lu up in the end.
