Chapter 245: Night Talk
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Ying went into the master bedroom to investigate. The bed was empty. There was no sign of Lu Zhao.
She hurriedly walked downstairs again. Halfway down the stairs, she noticed Lu Zhao bending down in the kitchen to pick up something. It appeared to be a shard of glass.
“Don’t pick it up!” Luo Ying exclaimed as she walked.
When Lu Zhao heard the voice, he raised his head. “I’m sorry for disturbing you. I was just trying to drink some water when I dropped my cup.”
“Are you sober?” Luo Ying walked to the kitchen and asked.
Even though his head still hurt and he was dizzy, Lu Zhao replied, “Yes, I am.
You’re awake.”
He was not the type to forget what he had just done after a few drinks. Everything that had just occurred was still fresh in his mind.
It was incredibly stupid, but Luo Ying actually returned.
Lu Zhao was at a loss as to how to assess his two subordinates and himself.
However, Luo Ying was still convinced that he was half-awake. Would a sober man attempt to pick up broken glass with his bare hands?
Lu Zhao appeared to have realized that picking them up here was a little ridiculous. He pursed his lips. “I’ll have the crew sweep them tomorrow.” He went to the sink and washed the glass shards from his hands.
Luo Ying took a quick look at his hand. She was relieved because it did not appear to be cut.
Late at night, a man and a woman, a divorced couple, stood across the kitchen counter facing each other.
An ambiguous and awkward silence fell between them.
Although Luo Ying had no trouble dealing with a tipsy Lu Zhao, she was still unsure of how to approach him sober.
She felt even more embarrassed thinking about how she had taken advantage of Lu Zhao just now. His beauty was dangerous!
“Since you’re awake, I’ll…” Luo Ying broke the silence.
“It’s too late today. You should—I ‘ She did not expect Lu Zhao to speak at the same time.
They both came to a halt at the same time. Lu Zhao realized right away that
Luo Ying intended to leave. Even the clothes she was wearing were sportswear that she could wear out.
“Stay,” he hurriedly said, “it’s too late.” He looked at the wall clock in the living room. “It’s already twelve o’clock.”
Lu Zhao’s deep eyes bored into Luo Ying.
Luo Ying hesitated and then turned away from him, avoiding eye contact.
Lu Zhao added, “All guest rooms have been sanitized.”
He thought to himself. “Ha, this scene is so familiar!”
He had tried to persuade Luo Ying to stay back then, out of a husband’s responsibility to his wife.
This time it was because of his feelings of love and longing for Luo Ying, but was he able to keep her? He had obviously shoved her away with his own hands.
What good would it do if she stayed a little longer? Lu Zhao’s cold hands clenched into fists.
“Got it,” Luo Ying said as she lowered her eyes.
To Lu Zhao, the few seconds of silence seemed to last tens of millions of years, but in the end, he waited for a different outcome.
Lu Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Luo Yings lips and took a new cup. “Would you like a glass of water?”
“Sure.” Luo Ying pursed her dry lips. She was indeed a little thirsty, probably because she was dehydrated from the bath just now.
Their gazes were drawn to the water dispenser, which was diligently boiling hot water.
“What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I’ll have the chef prepare it.” Lu Zhao inquired abruptly.
“No, I have to leave early in the morning.” Luo Ying refused. “We shouldn’t be talking so much.”
“What?” Lu Zhao shifted his gaze to Luo Ying.
“You have a fiancée.” Luo Yings eyes remained fixed as she smiled sarcastically. “President Lu.”
Lu Zhao fell silent once more. The words of Luo Ying cut him deeply.
The sound of boiling water became increasingly louder, as if it was about to boil.
“I recently obtained a portion of the shares from Old Master Lu.” In a deep voice, Lu Zhao stated, “At the next shareholders’ meeting, the Lu Family will be reshuffled internally, and the Lin-Lu marriage will be canceled.”
“Is that so?” Luo Yings voice was quiet. But something about it still shook her heart a little. Although she was aware that Lu Zhao would eventually rule over the entire Lu Family, she did not anticipate it to happen so quickly. It appeared to have happened earlier than in did in the novel.
When Lu Zhao heard this, he thought that Luo Ying did not care. His voice was low and husky, and his heart was aching. ‘Yes. Back then… There were just too many things going on, and I had to…’
He wanted to tell Luo Ying a lot, but he didn’t know how to begin. He was so sure of his impending death that he decided to end his marriage. This allowed Luo Ying to stay out of the feuds that were brewing within the Lu family.
He had been treated for the poison, but it was still present in his system.
Would bringing that up make Luo Ying anxious? He still needed to talk to the Lus and figure out what to do. Now that Luo Ying was close to him, she was at risk of being targeted by Lu Wen.
But did he really intend to let go that easily?
The sound of the water dispenser reached its maximum volume, and the water reached the boiling point. Their sparsely worded conversation was coming to an end.
‘Can you wait for me?” Lu Zhao’s heart was in turmoil as he impulsively asked the question..
