The south wind also entered my arms

Chapter 172
It was already 07:30 in the evening when the taxi stopped in front of the Lu mansion, but the days are long and the nights are short in Rongcheng in midsummer, and the sky is still white at this moment, as if it will never wait for the darkness to fall.

A woman got out of the car and stared quietly at the three words on the door plate for a moment, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes before she went to knock on the door.

The person who opened the door was Housekeeper Xia. He didn't know the person, but the woman said, "I want to see Young Master Lu."

Steward Xia asked hesitantly, "May I ask who you are?"

"My last name is Lan."

"Please wait a moment, I will report first."

Lan Lan narrowed her eyes: "Okay."

Housekeeper Xia didn't go directly to Lu Chengyu, but told Song Qi about it first. Song Qi was taken aback when he heard that, his surname was Lan...?She immediately thought of a person, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked towards the door.

From a distance, she saw the familiar figure outside the door, and she was overjoyed: "Miss Lan, it really is you."

It is well known that Lan Lan and Nan Feng have the best relationship. Her presence may stop Lu Cheng Yu who is now determined to break up with Sheng Yu Chen.She immediately turned sideways and made a gesture of "please come in", "Miss Lan, Young Master Lu is in the study."

Lan Lan was taken to the third floor by Song Qi, the door of the study was half-closed, and she saw Lu Chengyu sitting on the executive chair working through a crack.

The jacket of the suit was draped over the back of the chair. He was only wearing a white shirt. He was clean and tidy, and even the tie was meticulous. His eyes calmly scanned the lines of data on the document, and occasionally wrote annotations. It seemed that Nanfeng's departure did not have any effect on him.

Song Qi knocked on the door twice first, and the man inside raised his head before she said, "Mr. Lu, Miss Lan is here."

Lu Chengyu's expression was calm, and he only narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the woman who he expelled from the Golden Terrace came to visit suddenly.

Lan Lan went in alone, and the closer she got, the more she felt that this man really hadn't changed at all, he was still the noble and calm young man of the Lu family, but the coldness that had been faintly exuded on him before, did not know when it began to change. It is sharp and piercing, like an ice pick hanging under the eaves in midwinter, and a casual touch can make people feel cold all over.

Pinning the broken hair behind her ears, she pursed her lips and said, "Young Master Lu, are you willing to stop targeting AS and Mr. Sheng as long as you tell you about Nanfeng?"

Lu Chengyu sat behind the desk, concentrating: "Do you know where the south wind is?"

"I don't know." Lan Lan said bluntly, and then changed the topic, "Although I don't know where Nanfeng is, I know the answer to the question you want to ask Nanfeng, Young Master Lu."

That question... Lu Chengyu raised the corner of his mouth without a smile: "Lan Lan, you really have hidden things for her."

Now that things have happened, Lan Lan is calm: "Anyway, I am a betrayer who knows and does not report to Young Master Lu. There is no difference between one more charge and one less charge."

Lu Chengyu's eyes were cold, but he didn't respond.

Lan Lan remembered what she said to this man when she came to this mansion last time: "Young Master Lu, I reminded you that you will regret treating Nanfeng like that."

A light flashed in Lu Chengyu's eyes.

How did he treat her?

Imprison her?
Lock her up?
Forcing her to accept the child in her womb?

Or keep pestering her endlessly?
There seemed to be layers of thick fog in his eyes, Lu Chengyu leaned back on the chair back, his tone was neither heavy nor light but with determination, as if he would make the same choice again: "I won't Regret. Not then, not now, and not in the future.”

Lan Lan was shocked.

Looking at him, the expression on that handsome and incomparable face was exactly the same as when he said the three words 'never', but she didn't understand, how could he be so obsessed because Nan Feng had gone away because of his injury ?

Lu Chengyu's lips were straightened, and he returned the topic to the beginning: "What do you know?"

Lan Lan looked into the depths of his eyes, and said in a faint tone: "Nanfeng told me a story, and I promised her that she would never tell this story to others, but today I am going to break my promise - because I want you to know , How much do you owe Nanfeng?"

The hand under the desk was lightly clenched and then slowly loosened. Lu Chengyu's black eyes followed the sky outside the window from light to dark, and finally became so thick that even clear water could not be released.

……

As night fell, Steward Xia personally pulled the switch in the Lu mansion, starting from the front yard, passing through three courtyards, and turning on the lights one by one.Looking down from the sky, the entire mansion is like a pearl left in the suburban woods, shining inside and out.

Steward Xia stood in the yard for a while, he turned around and wanted to go back to the living room, when he saw Lan Lan walking out, he immediately stepped forward to see her off, but Lan Lan politely declined his offer to send her back by car, and left on foot , the back gradually merged into the darkness.

Not long after, Lu Chengyu also came down from the third floor, dressed in a neat suit, with a calm expression, and told Song Qi to prepare the car - he had a banquet to attend tonight.

Song Qi didn't know what Lan Lan said to Lu Chengyu, whether she persuaded him not to fight AS anymore, but she secretly observed that he was always calm, as if it wasn't because of Lan Lan's arrival or what Lan Lan said There was a slight reaction.

At the banquet, men in suits and leather shoes, women in long skirts are charming, feasting and feasting while pushing glasses and changing cups, Lu Chengyu always has a just right smile on his lips, respects and is polite to the seniors in the business world, supports and takes care of the juniors who ask for advice, and anyone who comes to toast is always welcome , Greetings thank you for your kindness, which is more than enough.Not to mention other people, even Song Qi, who was by his side since he was a child, couldn't understand him at the moment, and even had a doubt - did he care about Nan Feng's departure?

If he said he didn't care, then why did he target Sheng Yuchen?

But if you want to say that you care... For the past month, he has lived and worked as usual every day, and he has not missed a single thing to do. Except for letting them look for Nanfeng and report any news at any time, he has never mentioned Nanfeng at other times. name.

It seemed, without knowing it, that name became a taboo.

……

It was past eleven o'clock when the banquet ended, and Lu Chengyu was half-drunk. After getting in the car, he propped his forehead and closed his eyes to fall asleep, leaving a glimmer of light to reflect the flickering street lights outside the window.

The light and shadow were blurred for no reason, and he remembered the story about promises that Lan Lan told.

I remember who said that people can only remember what happened within a hundred days in detail. He once thought it was true, but it wasn't until Lan Lan reminded him of the past that he realized that there were some things that he didn't deliberately think of and didn't remember. It doesn't mean forgetting, they are silently engraved in the bones, so clear from beginning to end.

"Don't you want to know why she was your woman back then? I know, I'll tell you." In the study, the woman looked angry, with anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to seek justice for someone.

"She met you at the Golden Terrace that day. She was so happy. Since her brother disappeared, it was the first time I saw her smiling so happily."

"She said, 'Sister Lan, I saw him, so he is in Rongcheng'."

"I asked, 'Which him'?"

"She said," Lan Lan bit her lower lip and gnashed her teeth, "she said, it was the man who promised to marry her."

"'When you grow up, I will marry you', you said this to her, maybe you just said it casually, but she always remembers it! Always takes it seriously!"

"Did you think that she just cared about your identity and status as the youngest of the Lu family with you? Oh, why have you never looked at her carefully? If you had looked at her carefully, how could you have not found that as long as you are there, she Always had a smile on my face.”

……yes?
He found that he couldn't remember the details of getting along with Nanfeng at the beginning.

Lan Lan took a deep breath, and when she exhaled it was a long sigh: "She has a purpose in approaching you, and the only purpose is to love you."

"You forgot, but she remembered your promise like a fool."

"If you say you want to marry her, she will take it seriously."

She took it seriously...

She actually took it seriously...

The corner of his mouth let go of self-deprecating, Lu Chengyu's eyes turned away to sparkle, and many emotions were intertwined in it, which could not be described clearly.

In Chaos's mind, the summer in Los Angeles was as hot as it is now.

"When you grow up, I will marry you."

"Really?"

"Well, really."

"Okay, when you come to marry me, I will marry you."

……

A wanton and flying smiling face was slowly outlined in front of his eyes, as well as a pair of smiling eyes.

The laughter seemed to still be in my ears.

"Hi, Young Master Lu."

"It's me~"

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

……

When turning a corner, Song Qi habitually glanced at the rearview mirror to keep an eye out for the car coming from behind. His vision accidentally slipped and he saw something reflected in the rear window glass, which shone like pearls under the moonlight.
