The guest room arranged by the butler for Jiang Rui was on the second floor. Lou Wenyuan’s study and bedroom were on the third floor. In the early morning of the next day, he was neatly dressed. As soon as he turned down the stairs on the third floor, he saw someone standing by the corridor on the second floor.

She seemed to run out of the house in a hurry, with no shoes on and stepped barefoot on the carpet.

“What are you doing here?” Lou Wenyuan asked her and then said, “Go back and put on your shoes.”

Jiang Rui took a closer look at his face, her white and delicate feet were unconsciously touching the dark carpet. Swiping lightly, she asked cautiously: “Does what you said last night count?”

Seeing she seemed to regret it, Lou Wenyuan withdrew his gaze from her feet, curled his lips, and said, “Do you want to count or not to count?”

“Of course, it counts.” Jiang Rui said hurriedly.

Lou Wenyuan was taken aback and nodded, “That’s it. Go, put on your shoes, and change clothes and then go downstairs to eat.”

“Okay, wait for me.” Jiang Rui hurried and ran back to the room, but the change was done in two minutes.

Of course, the little leather skirt from yesterday can no longer be worn. Today’s suit was brought back by the butler last night. An off-white loose sweater covered her slender body, her hair was casually tied behind her head, her face was clean without heavy makeup, and she looked youthful and lively, making her look younger.

At the dinner table, Jiang Rui looked at the food in front of her, then turned to Aunt Li and said, “Aunt Li, I still want a lava cake, do you have it now?”

“Yes.” Aunt Li nodded and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a copy.

Lava cake is Zhou Qiaoqiao’s favorite. When she came to see Lou Minglang before, Aunt Li would prepare it for her. But these days when she came to Lou’s house, she did not eat it even once. Aunt Li thought she had changed her taste. Now it seems that her preferences have not changed, but she was not in the mood before, and now she is in a better mood.

Jiang Rui’s good mood was evident. The corners of her mouth curled up while eating breakfast, she dug open the cake with a spoon, and when the chocolate inside flowed out, she hummed a song.

The dining table in Lou’s family was always quiet. Lou Wenyuan glanced at her, Jiang Rui immediately fell silent and stuck out her tongue.

Her appearance made Lou Wenyuan suspicious.

He thought he would see her panicking this morning, even if she rushed to him and said regret, he wouldn’t be surprised.

No matter what, he would not think that she would be happy to be able to marry him. Could it be that her hatred for Lou Minglang is really so deep, so she is very happy whenever she has a chance to take revenge? But doesn’t she also love him?

Because his gaze fell on her, Jiang Rui’s movements became more and more restrained, and finally couldn’t bear it, and said aggrieved: “I didn’t make a sound, why are you still staring at me?”

Lou Wenyuan retracted his gaze.

Jiang Rui glanced at him and said, “Can you give me your private number?”

“Something?”

Jiang Rui poked the cake and swallowed: “Can’t you give it if it’s okay? I- I think the two of us…”

The words were not finished, but Lou Wenyuan understood.

He promised her to get married. In her opinion, the relationship between the two was different from before, so she asked him for a private number.

“It’s fine if you don’t give it.” Seeing that he did not speak, Jiang Rui pouted.

Lou Wenyuan did not understand what she was thinking. Based on her fear of him, he thought that after agreeing, she would eagerly stay away from him. After all, the goal has been achieved, so why are you still spending time here? Was she afraid that he would go back on his word and stop dealing with Lou Minglang for her?

If this is the case, it is not necessary. He said that he would not take the initiative to deal with Lou Minglang, but he did not say that he would not fight back when they came to provoke him. When dealing with an enemy in the market, if the opponent is too weak, it is often meaningless. Only when people think that hope is not far away, but it is shattered in front of them time and time again, such lessons are profound enough.

Jiang Rui pursed her lips for a while and quickly forgot about it, “I’ll go home later and tell my dad about it, let him come forward and divorce Lou Minglang. What do you think?”

“Yeah.” Lou Wenyuan nodded.

“Then, what about us?”

Lou Wenyuan glanced at her with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry, wait until I pick a day to visit at home next week.”

“Who is in a hurry?” Jiang Rui murmured and then muttered again after a while: “They all agreed to get married and they didn’t even give me a number, so stingy.”

The content of the conversation between the two of them did not deliberately conceal it. When the servants around heard it, their faces could no longer pretend to be peaceful, and the bottom of their hearts was even more surging.

Although Jiang Rui came to the door frequently and made them feel abnormal, she and Lou Wenyuan did not have any close contact, and out of awe of Lou Wenyuan, they did not dare to think too much. Who knows there was such breaking news?

The uncle robbed the nephew’s fiancée. If the news got out, the whole city of Hong Kong might be shaken.

It’s just that before Lou Wenyuan acquiesced, they did not have the guts to spread the word.

After breakfast, Lou Wenyuan was about to go out, and when he left, he asked Jiang Rui: “Let the driver take you back?”

“No, I will drive myself.”

He did not say more.

Jiang Rui was still enjoying her breakfast, when the butler suddenly handed her a business card, “This is from Mr. Zhou.”

Compared with before, his attitude is more respectful than polite.

“Thank you.” Jiang Rui thanked him in surprise, hurriedly took out her mobile phone and entered the number, and immediately sent a message: “This is my number.”

Lou Wenyuan’s car did not drive far yet and it was still on the winding mountain road. He took out his phone and glanced at it, but ignored it.

But after a while, he received a second message: “Have you not reached the bottom of the mountain yet? Ask the driver to drive carefully.”

Lou Wenyuan still did not reply.

Soon he received a third message: “Why don’t you speak? Are you reading documents in the car? Be careful that your eyesight will get higher. By then, the glasses will be as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle.”

No other messages came after that. Lou Wenyuan stared at these few lines and her crying voice seemed to be beside his ears last night.

“I will like you, I will love you!”

So her series of abnormal actions today are to fulfill this sentence?

He was silent for a long time and suddenly smiled strangely.

“Oh, a joke.”
