It was already eleven o’clock when Lu Qingye got home. He subconsciously slowed down when he reached the bedroom door. He placed his hand on the doorknob and slowly turned it.
He thought that Meng Chuyuan would be asleep at this hour, but when he opened the door, the bedroom was brightly lit. What surprised him even more was that Meng Chuyuan was leaning against the head of the bed. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Meng Chuyuan looked up. The two of them looked at each other without warning.
Perhaps he was not used to the feeling of somebody waiting up for him when he got back late. There was an indescribable, complicated feeling in his heart. He clearly did not do anything wrong, but when he met Meng Chuyuan’s eyes, he actually felt a little guilty.
Meng Chuyuan raised her head instinctively. She did not show any emotion. When she saw Lu Qingye return, she did not ask anything. She lowered her eyes and continued to look at her phone.
Seeing how calm she was, Lu Qingye felt that the atmosphere was not right.
He closed the door casually and walked in slowly. His gaze landed on Meng Chuyuan. His low and hoarse voice was slightly gentle. “You’re still awake?”
Meng Chuyuan hummed softly. “I’m getting ready to sleep.”
Feeling that she was not that happy, Lu Qingye’s emotions were inadvertently stirred up by her.
He took off his suit and rested it on his elbow as he walked unhurriedly to the bed.
Meng Chuyuan felt a faint shadow on her body. She looked up curiously and saw Lu Qingye walking over. He lifted the blanket beside the bed and sat down, facing her sideways.
Meng Chuyuan did not expect his sudden approach. She put down her phone and looked into his eyes. Her voice was slow. “What’s wrong?”
Lu Qingye narrowed his eyes slightly and took in her reaction. He looked at her extremely calmly and said bluntly, “In the future, you don’t have to care about my reputation outside. You don’t have to worry about causing trouble for me. As long as you don’t break the law, no one will dare to touch you.”
He knew what Meng Chuyuan cared about, and he also knew why she was calm in times of trouble.
However, what happened tonight could be big or small.
No matter which man approached her, they knew their limits. Moreover, it was not too much to ask for her contact information. As for the room card that should not have appeared, it did make her feel uncomfortable.
If she had made a scene on the spot, not many people would have stood up for her.
Realizing this fact, it was difficult for Meng Chuyuan not to calm down.
However, hearing Lu Qingye’s heartfelt words, Meng Chuyuan looked at him with interest. “Do you mean that I can do whatever I want in the future?”
“It’s not impossible.”
Seeing that he was talking seriously, Meng Chuyuan was amused by his reaction. “I’m not a crab. How can I walk sideways?”
“…” Lu Qingye’s expression just now might have been a little exaggerated, but when he saw the smile on Meng Chuyuan’s face again, he was no longer so gloomy.
In his eyes, Meng Chuyuan was like a little hedgehog. She was more sensitive and had a strong sense of defense. She also lacked a sense of security. Even if her entire body was covered in thorns, there would be times when she was afraid of getting injured.
Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that she had returned to normal after a slight smile. “Are you alright now?”
She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “What can happen to me?”
However, when she came out of the cocktail party and bumped into Lu Qingye, she was still a little angry. When she saw that he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he seemed no different from those men. For a few seconds, her brain treated him as a trash can and so she stuffed those business cards into his pocket.
From the looks of it, he was still very different from others.
