aren't we in love

Chapter 19

Lu Yingqin dusted off the ash, the gray ash flakes off in the ashtray, scattered all over, Lu Yingqin looked at it, suddenly feeling inexplicably lonely.

Cheng Duanwu left.He was the only one left in the empty office, except for the vague fragrance in the air, Lu Yingqin could hardly find any trace of Cheng Duanwu's visit.

The palm of his hand still deeply remembers the pulsation in her neck, and the smooth touch of her skin.

It seems that everything is different now, Cheng Duanwu now only calls him "Mr. Lu" politely, or "Lu Yingqin" angrily, and she no longer calls him "Yingqin" like a girl in the past.

She is six years younger than him, and she used to call him "uncle" after watching too many Korean dramas. At that time, he thought it was absurd, but now thinking about it, it seems that she is really just a little girl.

For nearly seven years, Cheng Duanwu disappeared without a sound, and he didn't look for it on purpose.He thought he was not interested.Occasionally, he would have nightmares about those humiliating pasts, and he would also think of Cheng Duanwu, but at that time, he only had hatred for her.But now, he felt that his mood seemed more and more strange.

When she really changed and no longer stalked and cried at him like in the past, he suddenly became unaccustomed to it.

She said that she regretted being with him, and at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.He was so angry that he lost his mind and even wanted to kill her, but he still didn't do it after all.He insulted her with the most vulgar words and oppressed her with power, but she was unmoved in the slightest.He never knew she was so stubborn.

In the past, all her stubbornness was devoted to loving him relentlessly, but now she was devoted to resisting him desperately.

How ironic is this change?

In the end, he pretended to be ruthless and said: "Consider my suggestion, if you agree, I will naturally let Yu Dong go."

Cheng Duanwu only replied three words, with cadences and accents, and the words were correct, "You are dreaming!"

Cheng Duanwu's decisive voice was still in his ears, and Lu Yingqin's eyes quickly closed.He stubbed out his cigarette, got up, went to the window, and opened the blinds.The sunlight from outside the window penetrated in, and the sudden light made his eyes narrow uncomfortably.He looked down at the endlessly flowing road downstairs, and tried his best to search for the figure the size of a fingernail.

There are tens of millions of people and women in the world, but the strange thing is that there is only one named Cheng Duanwu.

Lu Yingqin himself felt strange, is she really so special?

He let it go in silence until Guan Yi knocked on the door and came in to inform him of the meeting.

Guan Yi didn't squint, and didn't ask any more questions.After finishing what he had to say, he felt that he was about to leave.It was Lu Yingqin who stopped him.

Lu Yingqin thought for a long time, then suddenly asked him: "Guan Yi, what's the name of the woman in front of Yu Dong?"

Guan Yi probably didn't expect him to ask the question suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly replied: "It seems to be called Mingyue."

Lu Yingqin gave a "hmm" and asked again: "I remember, it seems to look a lot like Cheng Duanwu."

Guan Yi nodded, thinking carefully: "The eyes are especially similar, and the body shape is also similar."

"Yes." Lu Yingqin recalled the woman who was [-]% or [-]% similar to Cheng Duan, and after a while he said, "Actually, she looks like an ordinary person, and she doesn't have any obvious memory points, not enough to make people remember." Lu Yingqin was obviously talking to Guan Yi, but he didn't look at him, as if he was talking to himself.

"Huh?" Guan Yi didn't know whether this "she" was Cheng Duanwu or Mingyue.He just stared at Lu Yingqin silently, his expression was indifferent, but it made people feel a little melancholy.Guan Yi had never felt this kind of feeling on him before, so he immediately felt a little strange.

"Go out, I'll be there in a while."

"Yes." Guan Yi left full of doubts.Recalling how Cheng Duanwu left in embarrassment, he suddenly began to wonder what happened in the short ten minutes.

Cheng Duanwu did not fall asleep at night because he was worried about Yu Dong all night.Originally, I thought I could leave, even the house, but in the end such an earth-shaking change happened.Cheng Duanwu suddenly became powerless against fate.

The more painful the nightmare, the more inescapable it is.

Everything in Yu Dong's house is still the same as it was before he left. Because he was afraid of accidents, Yu Dong didn't bring any luggage, but he didn't want something to happen.Cheng Duanwu hugged Lele, who knew nothing, and slept all night. Lele stayed up late, enduring his sleepiness and kept asking her: "Auntie, where is Dad? Didn't Dad say that he would take Lele far away?" Where? Did he go to a far, far place alone?"

Cheng Duanwu didn't know how to answer, she couldn't think of any other answer except deception.She tried her best to make up a story and put Lele to sleep peacefully.But she couldn't sleep by herself.

She got up before five o'clock in the morning, and combed her hair in front of the mirror. The mirror was foggy, and Cheng Duanwu reached out to wipe it off. Among the random water marks, Cheng Duanwu saw herself haggard.It seems that I haven't been so tired for a long time.The toss of death and resurrection.Cheng Duanwu didn't know when he would be tall.She combed her hair feebly, a few strands of broken hair were left on the comb, Cheng Duanwu held it blankly, silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

She fearlessly said to Lu Yingqin: "Not only ten years, 20 years and 30 years, even if I will wait for the rest of my life, I will definitely recognize him in this life!"

At first, he thought that Lu Yingqin would mock her with disdain, but he didn't want him to be silent. After a long time, he said, "Cheng Duanwu, I remember you said before that you have recognized me in this life."

Cheng Duanwu thought her heart was numb enough, but she didn't want Lu Yingqin's words to easily break through the defense she thought was strong enough.

"Before", what a heavy word.Seven years ago, Cheng Duan only had Lu Yingqin in his five eyes, but what about seven years later?Cheng Duan only has reality in his five eyes.She has learned to live and work in a world without Lu Yingqin.Although this change took almost half of her life to refine and rebirth.

All the good and bad things in the memory swarmed her, she was almost kidnapped by the memory, everything was confessed quietly, Cheng Duanwu's sincere heart in the past was exposed so abruptly, but she couldn't feel it anymore shame.It's just that those memories are too heavy, and Cheng Duanwu feels that he can hardly kick his breath.

"In the past... Shouldn't you have forgotten it long ago? Why should you take what you said when you were young?" She said it calmly, but she couldn't be as open-minded as she said.She didn't want to stay any longer, she didn't want to expose more embarrassment.

Lu Yingqin's warm breath brushed against her ears, and her heartbeat was pulled by his breath, almost out of control.

Lu Yingqin grabbed her shoulder blades tightly, the pain was unbearable, but she didn't make a sound.

"Cheng Duanwu, you were not like this before."

Lu Yingqin's voice was full of uncertainty, he was rarely in such a state, making Cheng Duanwu feel like he was hallucinating.Lu Yingqin lifted her hand to brush her hair away, revealing her smooth forehead. She used to like to use hair clips to pin her hair behind her ears. She loves to laugh and cry very much, and all expressions are open. He has always lived in a flamboyant and reckless manner.

She suddenly felt sad.Moisture began to accumulate in the dry eye sockets.Her voice was trembling and hoarse: "What did I look like before?" She snorted coldly: "I can't think of anything else except ugly."

Lu Yingqin's face changed suddenly, he was silent, and after a while, the only gentle expression left on his face disappeared, he looked at her coldly and said: "Cheng Duanwu, if you talk to me in this tone again, Do you believe it or not that I will slap you?"

Cheng Duanwu sneered indifferently: "Didn't you already smoke?" She raised her face: "Do you want to do it again?"

Lu Yingqin was furious, he raised his hand slightly, Cheng Duanwu was startled instinctively, but he didn't raise his hand again.He sneered: "Consider my suggestion, if you agree, I will let Yu Dong go naturally."

Cheng Duanwu replied without thinking, "You are dreaming!"

It was like a nightmare, and her negotiations with him didn't produce any results.Speaking of negotiations, Cheng Duanwu felt that it was more like she was venting.She vented all the years of resentment towards him like crazy.The results of it?The result is that there is no result at all, and everything is still under his control.

It was only when she left the house in the morning that her brother told her that Yu Dong's company had been suspended and completely closed down.The development of the situation has exceeded her imagination.Lu Yingqin's ruthlessness broke the record again.

After filing the case, Yu Dong changed the place of detention, and the person who reported Yu Dong was his business partner.It seemed that it had nothing to do with Lu Yingqin.But Cheng Duanwu knew that everything was done by Lu Yingqin.

The place where Yu Dong was temporarily detained was almost watertight, and she couldn't see Yu Dong even though she tried her best.In the end, it was Yu Dong's former brothers who tried their best to hide it from Lu Yingqin so that she could meet Yu Dong.

However, after several days of detention, Yu Dong has become so emaciated that he seems to be a different person. His blue stubble makes him look ten years older. From his state, it is not difficult to see how bad he has been these few days.But when he saw Cheng Duanwu, he was still smiling and honest.

Cheng Duanwu was a little distressed, and frowned unconsciously: "Is...is it bad inside? It's only been a few days, and I'm so thin..."

Yu Dong still smiled, "I'm a bit reluctant to sleep, probably because I didn't sleep well."

"sorry."

"Stupid, why tell me you're sorry?"

Cheng Duanwu choked with sobs: "If it wasn't for me, Lu Yingqin wouldn't have dealt with you."

Yu Dong shook his head: "It's my own problem, flies don't bite seamless eggs."

Cheng Duanwu clenched his fists, "What's going on, is there no other solution?"

"It's okay, don't worry too much." Yu Dong smiled, trying to comfort Cheng Duanwu.But Cheng Duanwu knew in his heart that if Lu Yingqin made a move, there was no way he would be fine.

"Don't beg Lu Yingqin, Dragon Boat Festival, listen to me once, don't go."

Cheng Duanwu gave a "hmm" as a promise, she didn't dare to tell Yu Dong that she had already looked for Lu Yingqin once, she didn't want to make him more worried.

"Lu Yingqin taught me to earn all my money, and now he can take it back if he wants. I will do other things in the future." Yu Dong said nonchalantly, but Cheng Duanwu was very sad.His hard work for so many years was completely ruined, how could he say it so lightly.

Yu Dong raised his head and looked at Cheng Duanwu distressedly, and said after a while: "I've suffered for you, and I said I want you to live a good life. I started to suffer before I got married."

Cheng Duanwu shook his head: "I'm not afraid of suffering, as long as you are safe and sound, I will be at ease."

Yu Dong sighed softly, he hesitated for a long time before explaining solemnly: "Duanwu, if...you really want to go to jail this time, you can find another man, don't waste your youth on me."

Cheng Duanwu shook his head: "What nonsense, it will be fine. I'll wait for you to come out, and Lele will wait for you too!"

Speaking of Lele, Yu Dong's smile became a little stiff. As both parents, Cheng Duanwu naturally understood Yu Dong's mood.He was silent for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and said to Cheng Duanwu very sincerely: "I don't ask you for anything else, I just hope that you can send Lele to her grandfather. I have been sorry for him for so many years, I am sorry for his daughter now I'm sorry Lele," Yu Dong clenched his fists in frustration, "I'm really useless."

Cheng Duanwu felt sorry for Yu Dong's self-questioning, so he reached out his hand to hold him silently, and comforted him: "You promised to take care of me and Lele, you can't go back on your word."

"Dragon Friday..."

Cheng Duanwu stubbornly repeated: "It's done, you can't go back on your word."

"Dragon Boat Festival..." Yu Dong's expression was full of complexities, his mood was extremely contradictory, with ecstasy but also hesitation.Now that he is too busy to take care of himself, what can he do to take care of Cheng Duanwu?But Cheng Duanwu couldn't refuse Cheng Duanwu's completely trusting eyes, and it took him a long time before he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay! Wait for me to go out, and I'll let you and Lele have a good life with my life!"
