When the two finished eating and came out, lightning suddenly flashed, and thunder rumbled outside. It looked like heavy rain was about to pour.
âIâll send you back.â
âThank you. Iâll take a taxi back.â Mu Yao didnât want to sit in the same car as Lu Jinchen.
âYou canât get a taxi here. Besides, didnât you want to talk to me? Why? You donât even dare to get in my car?â Lu Jinchen got into the car first.
Mu Yao hesitated for a while. Then, she opened the car door and got in.
But she was sitting in the back seat.
Lu Jinchen didnât say anything and started the car to leave.
In the car.
Mu Yao looked at Ku Jinchenâs tense face and listened to the thunder outside. She organized her words in her heart.
Only then did she speak, âMr. Lu, I apologize to you for what Su Jin did to Miss Bai that day. I hope you wonât hold it against me and let Su Jin and her company off.â
âDo you think Iâm targeting Su Jin because she insulted Bai Qiushui?â Lu Jinchenâs eyes were fixed in front of him as he spoke indifferently.
What else?
âIt hasnât been easy for Su Jin to start her own business all these years. I hope you can be magnanimous and not stoop to her level. If⦠if you want an apology, I can apologize to Miss Bai in person!â
âMu Yaoâ¦â Lu Jinchen suddenly stepped on the brakes and interrupted her.
It was pouring outside.
Lu Jinchenâs last sentence was drowned in the sound of the rain.
What?
Mu Yao looked up subconsciously and met his deep, dark eyes. She quickly looked away and suddenly felt a little nervous.
âWould you believe me if I told you I did this to see you? Itâs been four years. Have you ever thought of me?â Lu Jinchen asked. His voice trembled slightly.
Mu Yao subconsciously shrank her body into the corner.
He did not drink at noon. Why did he keep talking drunk?
After thinking about it, he understood.
âI know. You want to see me make a fool of myself and make me beg you, donât you? Youâve done it. Youâve ruthlessly stepped on my dignity. You should be happy. After youâre done being happy, please be magnanimous and let Su Jin off.â
âI can let Su Jin off, but who will let me off?â Lu Jinchen asked in return, his eyes staring at her as if he was talking to himself.
Without waiting for her answer, he said softly, âMu Yao, when did you ever let me go?â
âWhat did I do to you?â Mu Yao frowned. She felt like the two of them were talking on completely different channels.
âCome back to me, Yaoyao.â
Finally, he was the first to speak.
What?
Mu Yao thought she had heard wrong.
The car honked from behind to urge him to drive. Lu Jinchen looked away and continued to drive forward.
Mu Yao went through his words in her mind.
He suddenly laughed.
âLu Jinchen, are you out of your mind? Although Iâm just an ordinary person, I have my dignity too. Iâm not an object you can toss around.â
Four years ago, he divorced her.
Four years later, he told her to come back to him.
Why?
âOr do you have the habit of having a mistress? You already have Bai Qiushui, but you want me to be with you. Lu Jinchen, arenât you going to be engaged to Bai Qiushui soon? Does she know that youâre so disgusting?â
The more Mu Yao thought about it, the angrier she got. She pushed the door open.
âStop the car. I want to get out.â
She did not want to see this person at all.
âI will not get engaged to Bai Qiushui.â Lu Jinchen didnât stop the car, nor did he open the door.
âWhat does it have to do with me whether youâre engaged or not? You two are perfectly matched. I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years, have a bunch of kidsâ¦â
Mu Yao cursed at Lu Jinchen with all the rude words she could think of.
âLin Zhan is coming back!â
Lu Jinchen suddenly said.
