aren't we in love

Chapter 7
Cheng Duanwu knew that she shouldn't be greedy more, but she was just an ordinary woman, she was too tired to walk, she really wanted to rest, so she chose to stop and rest beside Yu Dong.

She always thought that her sky was only clouded with clouds, but she didn't want God to show her a way out, and the gloomy sky above her head finally ushered in a glimmer of light.

Lele was sent to a full-time kindergarten, and Yu Dong made a small profit from a small foreign business, which was more than enough. The father and daughter had a good time.It is not too difficult to have a car and a house to afford Cheng Duanwu's life.

Cheng Duanwu went to Yu Dong's house while taking a break, but Yu Dong didn't care, so he gave her a pair of keys directly.

After buying the vegetables, Yu Dong was a big man, he was careless and slovenly, the house hadn't been cleaned up for a while, so it looked a bit messy.After Cheng Duanwu drank his tea, he began to do a lot of hygiene.She also came to do it a few times before, but she never touched Yu Dong's bedroom. This time, I don't know if Yu Dong's confession had an effect, Cheng Duanwu went in by accident.Yu Dong has always been a rather dull man. In the past, his life after losing his wife for two years was quite monotonous. There was no trace of a woman in the whole family, not even a picture of his deceased wife.Cheng Duanwu touched his nose and didn't think any more.She touched the mattress, it was a little damp, no one took care of it, everything was on her own, Yu Dong was busy all day and didn't care about these details.

Cheng Duanwu thought about it, and his throat felt a little sour.She took a long rope to dry Yu Dong and Lele's quilt and mattress, moved a chair and stepped on it, took a long duster and gently patted the quilt to make the cotton wool more fluffy and fully absorb the sun essence.

Yu Dong received a call from Cheng Duanwu in advance, and wanted to see her for a while, so he rushed back with sweat all over his forehead.

Cheng Duanwu was patting the quilt intently, when he heard Yu Dong's panting voice from behind, "Duanwu, why are you here to do things again? Just find an hour to do these things! Come down!"

Cheng Duanwu turned his head and saw Yu Dongxing's bright eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly pulled, and the two small canine teeth made him look much younger.

The movements of Cheng Duanwu's hands froze, and her eyes were slightly confused. She suddenly thought about it, in fact, Yu Dong should not have changed for many years.He used to be so honest and silent, but before, why did her eyes fall on Yu Dong?

At that time, her gaze was only focused on Lu Yingqin, and her inherent arrogance made her think that only the best and most dazzling man could match her.

Now think about it, how ridiculous is this idea?

If... If she had recognized everything earlier, wouldn't everything be different?

She took a long breath, looked back and smiled, and joked: "If you feel guilty, give me the hourly money."

Yu Dong was taken aback, a little embarrassed, Cheng Duanwu couldn't help laughing at the hesitation in his eyes.She thought, maybe he really wanted to give money but was afraid of hurting her self-esteem?

At that time, she had long since lost her sensitivity to self-esteem. She smiled openly, raised her eyebrows, and continued to move her hands with lowered eyes.

Yu Dong was silent for a while, and asked cautiously: "Dragon Friday, there is an event in Lele Kindergarten today, and the teacher asked me to pick it up later, so let's... why don't we go out for a meal?"

Cheng Duanwu originally wanted to refuse.Years of frugality has made her used to a life of daily necessities, but when she thinks about it, she has decided to start a relationship again, and she should gladly accept Yu Dong's routine "please". She chuckled and readily agreed: "Okay, The sun is hot today, and it takes about two hours to dry the quilt, so it's just time to go out for dinner."

"..."

Yu Dong drove Cheng Duanwu to a high-end club in the city for dinner.Cheng Duanwu was wearing a floral dress and a pair of flat-heeled leather shoes, all of which were cheap. Although they fit well and looked good, they still made her a little uncomfortable on such an occasion.She held the corner of her skirt nervously.

The careless Yu Dong naturally didn't notice this.In fact, he was also a rough man, and if it wasn't for business, he would rarely come to such occasions, but he thought that young people always need some romance when they fall in love, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The decoration of the clubhouse is rich and elegant, and the dining tables are neatly placed in various positions. The champagne-colored tablecloths and high chairs show the unique taste in the decoration. Three white roses are placed on each table, and the candlesticks with classical patterns add to the atmosphere. A bit of a romantic atmosphere.Not far from the table where Yu Dong and Cheng Duanwu were sitting, there was an elegant lady playing the piano. The jingle-like repertoire poured out from her nimble fingertips, and everything was perfect and just right.

Cheng Duanwu has not been to such a place for many, many years. She has been immersed in the life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea for many years. She has long forgotten what romance and enjoyment are.Her hand holding the menu trembled a little. According to Western rules, there was no price on the lady's menu. Cheng Duanwu lowered his head and carefully looked at the various exquisite meals on the menu, feeling a little uneasy for a while.

Yu Dong seemed to see her embarrassment, raised his head and asked her: "I don't know what to order because there are too many things, okay? How about I give you some?"

Cheng Duanwu nodded with relief.Yu Dong smiled kindly, looked at the menu and ordered a few items before closing the menu.

He has been chatting with Cheng Duanwu all the time.In fact, they have nothing in common, mostly around children.It is impossible not to be disappointed, but Cheng Duanwu understands that nothing is perfect in this world, and Yu Dong is already too good for her, and she has no right to be picky.

The thoughtful waiter held the tablecloth for her, and Cheng Duan didn't make any move after the crackling steak was uncovered.Yu Dong, who was on the opposite side, looked at her inexplicably: "What's the matter? Don't you like this?"

Cheng Duanwu raised his hand to pick out the cumbersome tableware placed on both sides of the plate, scratching his head in embarrassment: "I haven't eaten these things for a long time, and I have forgotten all the rules."

Yu Dong smiled undisguisedly, that smile was so warm, without any trace of sarcasm or contempt, he picked up the tableware one by one, and said nonchalantly: "Use it as you like, you don't need to have rules when eating with me. How about I call you a pair of chopsticks?"

Amused by him, Cheng Duanwu covered his mouth and smiled straight, his big clear eyes squinting.

Yu Dong smiled and changed the steak in front of him to Cheng Duanwu.Cheng Duanwu saw that Yu Dong had carefully cut it into pieces, and she didn't need to use the knife again.

Yu Dong continued to cut Cheng Duanwu's game again, and complained nonchalantly: "I knew I shouldn't bring you here, and we both feel uncomfortable. It seems that we can't do such a delicate person."

Cheng Duanwu couldn't help laughing, Yu Dong's ordinary eyebrows concealed the gentleness like water, Cheng Duanwu gratefully put a piece of beef into his mouth, and actually felt a little sweet.

If it was Cheng Duanwu in the past, her condescending love could bring many things to Yu Dong, but now the worthless Cheng Duanwu can only become Yu Dong's burden, but he doesn't mind at all, treating her Her attitude is so friendly, and his little doting on her made her feel in a trance that she seems to have never changed, and she is still the high-ranking Cheng Duanwu who made people flock to her.

Her heart was sour, and a warm current surged from her heart, making her eye sockets a little hot and humid. She lowered her head in embarrassment, not wanting Yu Dong to see her expression.

She really never thought that she would meet Lu Yingqin again.

When they finished paying their bills and were about to leave, Lu Yingqin and Yu Jiajia were leading the waiter to walk inside. Originally, they were going to enter the private room, but after seeing Yu Dong, Lu Yingqin turned around and came back.

Cheng Duanwu, who had been laughing all the time, froze instantly, watching Lu Yingqin approaching them step by step without taking his eyes off it.

The heart seemed to be controlled at that moment, it forgot to beat, Cheng Duanwu also forgot to breathe, and the hand on Yu Dong's arm forgot to withdraw while laughing.

Lu Yingqin looked at them thoughtfully, then looked at Yu Dong and smiled meaningfully: "Yu Dong, I have to make an appointment to see you now, don't I?"

Yu Dong quietly stood forward, holding Cheng Duanwu in front of him. This almost subconscious action gradually warmed Cheng Duanwu's heart.

"Occasionally busy, small business is nothing to worry about."

Lu Yingqin snorted coldly: "Small business? I don't think so. The business that can snatch you away from my company must not be a small business." Lu Yingqin's aggressiveness made Yu Dong speechless, and he could only reciprocate smile.

In the end, it was Yu Jiajia who was relieved. She changed the subject exquisitely and dismissed the unexplained tension without a trace. She patted Yu Dong's shoulder coquettishly, pouted and complained: "Brother, do you have a problem?" How busy are you? What's the matter, you won't come to my wedding with Ying Qin?"

Knowing what Cheng Duanwu thought about Lu Yingqin in the past, Yu Jiajia pre-emptively mentioned their marriage on such an occasion, presumably, for her to hear?

Cheng Duanwu smiled lightly.

Yu Jiajia overestimated her persistence. In fact, she had already woken up from that never-ending dream, and realized that there are some men she can never get her hands on in her whole life.But her heart was still aching because of the news, and she didn't know where the pain came from. She only knew that her throat was dry and she couldn't say a word.

Yu Dong held Cheng Duanwu's almost cold hand with his backhand, and rubbed her little by little, making her warm gradually. He replied with a smile: "The date has been fixed, and I, my brother, will buy a dowry for you!" He patted Patting Lu Yingqin on the shoulder, he said in a serious manner: "Treat my sister well, or don't blame me for being heartless as a brother!"

Lu Yingqin still snorted coldly, he neither refuted nor admitted, just stood upright in the same place quietly, Yu Jiajia's hand was still intimately on his arm.A silver-gray tailored suit made him look extraordinarily elegant and clear, but his face was full of sarcasm, staring at Cheng Duanwu unabashedly, his eyes were insightful and complex.Cheng Duanwu felt his scalp numb and his whole body was uncomfortable.After a while, she lowered her head and hid behind Yu Dong again.

It was probably her retreat that aroused Lu Yingqin's sarcasm. He glanced at Cheng Duanwu coldly, obviously smiling, but his words were as cold as ice, "Cheng Duanwu, do you think you did it on purpose? Are you not happy? What is it to hang around in front of me every now and then?" His eyes were full of gloomy disgust, and his face was very cautious, "Yu Dong, what do I mean by saying you are like this?"

He took a step forward aggressively, and pulled Cheng Duanwu hard. Cheng Duanwu's arm was stressed, and he was thrown violently, and he staggered and was pulled out from Yu Dong's back.Lu Yingqin was exposed to everyone's eyes with almost nothing to hide. She hugged her arms numbly, bowed her head without saying a word, and was so humble that it was not worth mentioning.At this moment, she felt as if she was being shone directly on the top of her head by a strong light, and she couldn't avoid it.

Lu Yingqin's humiliation seemed to be endless, only to hear Lu Yingqin's strange yet familiar voice sounded above his head again: "Yu Dong, I warn you, you don't know how to flatter you, don't keep everything by your side, I don't want to see this woman for a moment , don't take it with me, no matter who you are, don't blame me for turning your face and denying others!" He brushed off Cheng Duanwu's hand just now, with a disgusted expression on his face, as if Cheng Duanwu was Dirtiest garbage in the world.He walked away resolutely, and finally yelled coldly: "Get out!"
