Bow to tempt the peach

Chapter 44: You Like It

It was past midnight, and the whole villa was quiet.

Xu Youtao took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Before going to bed, she didn't forget to send a WeChat message to Lu Chenyan.

Xu Youtao: [Brother, good night and sweet dreams. 】

On the third floor of the villa, the lights were on in the study room. Lu Chenyan was sitting at his desk, his figure lonely and cold.

When he saw the WeChat message sent by Xu Youtao, he was silent for a while and then replied with two words, [Good night. 】

The quiet late night always brings back memories hidden deep in people's hearts. Lu Chenyan's handsome face was filled with solemnity.

He put down his cell phone, opened the drawer in front of him, and took out a black leather notebook. As soon as he opened the notebook, the photo inside fell out. It was a color photo with a very aged look.

In the photo, a man with his face blackened is wearing an old-fashioned suit, holding a long-haired woman in a yellow plaid skirt. The woman has a soft appearance, and in her arms is a little boy wearing overalls. The little boy is about three or four years old. In appearance, she has a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, which look fair and cute.

This is obviously a family of three.

Lu Chenyan's deep gaze fell on the photo. When he looked at the man whose face was blackened, a trace of deep-seated hatred flashed in his eyes, and his face was frighteningly cold.

When he looked at the woman next to him, the hatred disappeared and turned into more complex emotions, including resentment, pain, and... deep longing.

He turned the photo upside down on the table, and covered his eyes with his slender hands, covering the flowing darkness under his eyes.

In a daze, his ears seemed to hear the sounds that had been unforgettable to him and regarded as nightmares when he was a child. The curses of men, the pleading of women, and the cries of children. Finally, everything disappeared in the sound of the raging fire. middle.

The hallucination was so intense and so real that Lu Chenyan's hands on the table clenched into fists and his body trembled. Suddenly, a charming female voice dispersed everything and brought him back to reality.

"Brother~" was Xu Youtao's voice.

Lu Chenyan put down his hand. There was still bloodshot eyes in his eyes, but he stared at an unknown place in the air, curling his lips and laughing.

The man's laughter was both suppressed and released, echoing in the quiet study room for a long time.

The next day, Xu Youtao was woken up by the alarm clock she set.

She rolled around twice on the bed holding the quilt, and her groggy brain gradually woke up. Now she was not in her own apartment, but at Lu Chenyan's house!
She sat up and became very energetic.

The time on her phone was only seven in the morning. As soon as she turned on the screen, she found that someone had sent her a WeChat message.

Lu Chenyan: [There are clean clothes in the bag at the door. 】

"Clean clothes?" Xu Youtao repeated in a low voice.

Women's clothes?

She opened the door to the room and saw a paper handbag on the floor at the door. She could also see the off-white cloth clothes inside through the open mouth of the bag.

Xu Youtao picked up the bag, leaned half of her body out of the room, looked around, and called softly: "Lu Chenyan?"

The living room was quiet and no one answered.

She had to carry the bag back to the room for the time being.

The handbag contained an off-white cotton and linen dress. It was simple and slim-fitting, and it was exactly the size she wore.

Xu Youtao looked at the skirt in her hand and raised her eyebrows. Did Lu Chenyan like this kind of pure and forest-style dress?
Gee, her usual dressing style doesn’t seem to match.

Her facial features are bright and gorgeous. Even if she is bare-faced, she still has a strong complexion, and most of her clothes are bright colors.

After changing into a dress, she briefly washed up in the bathroom, and finally put on light makeup to brighten her complexion using the few cosmetics in her bag, Xu Youtao walked out of the room again.

"Lu Chenyan?" She shouted upward from the stairs on the first floor, restraining her eagerness to go upstairs.

Could he still be sleeping?
Then do you want to provide a considerate wake-up call service?
Unfortunately, the sound of footsteps on the stairs interrupted her beautiful thoughts.

"Wake up." Lu Chenyan's tone was as warm as ever.

When he saw the clothes she was wearing, he frowned slightly.

The clothes Zhao Jin picked didn't suit her.

Seeing that he looked at her twice, Xu Youtao might have misunderstood, so she deliberately turned around in a circle, then curved her lips and smiled at him, "The clothes are very nice."

Lu Chenyan paused, "As long as you like it."

Xu Youtao: "I like it." He was duplicity, it was clear that he liked it.

"There's breakfast in the kitchen." Lu Chenyan walked past her and walked forward.

Xu Youtao followed closely and took the initiative to sit at the dining table.

Breakfast is still hot, including fried dough sticks, steamed buns, soy milk, and sandwiches, fried eggs and milk. It can be called a combination of Chinese and Western.

"Brother." Xu Youtao took a bite of the fried dough sticks, her eyebrows relaxed, "Did you order takeout in advance?"

Lu Chenyan: "Yeah."

It was sent here by Zhao Jin.

Xu Youtao closed her eyes and praised, "Brother, you are so thoughtful."

"If anyone could be your girlfriend, I would be so happy."

Lu Chenyan glanced at her, "Really?"

Xu Youtao:?

What does this mean? I finally took up this topic. Is it possible that I am willing to agree to her?

She immediately looked at him with bright eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lu Chenyan, "You can't speak, please be quiet."

Xu Youtao: "..."

The words she had not yet spoken were stuck in her throat.

On purpose?

She blushed so hard that she must have done it on purpose.

She took a vicious bite of the fried dough stick in her hand and could only lower her head and concentrate on cooking.

As for Lu Chenyan, the moment she lowered her head to eat, a smile brewed in her eyes.

But when Xu Youtao looked up at him unwillingly, she returned to her cold and taciturn appearance.

Xu Youtao didn't notice anything was wrong at all.
-
After breakfast, it was just after 07:30.

Usually this time is the time when the driver comes to pick Lu Chenyan up to go to the company, but today, it can only be an exception.

"Where are you going? I'll see you off on the way."

Xu Youtao subconsciously reported the address of the restaurant, "Are you on your way?"

Lu Chenyan: "On the way."

Xu Youtao smiled happily and immediately went back to the room to get her bag.

When the black Mercedes-Benz drove out of the gate of the community, the Rolls-Royce parked not far from the roadside followed silently.

In the carriage, the assistant who came to deliver breakfast and clothes early in the morning and the driver who arrived at work half an hour early were speechless.

It was the morning rush hour and the road was gradually becoming congested.

The sound of whistles coming and going all around makes people upset.

But Xu Youtao was in a good mood, and she was ready to continue the topic that was interrupted during breakfast.

"Brother, you..."

As soon as he started talking, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.

Xu Youtao wanted to curse, but it was her cell phone that rang.

"I'll take a call." She changed her words abruptly.

After seeing the name of the caller clearly, the good mood was gone.
