After hanging up the phone, Lu Lingche went upstairs to change his shirt, then came down and left.
Lan Yuyi quickly stood up from the sofa: “Lingche, where are you going?”
“My dad’s computer got a virus, I’m going to get rid of it.”
“Really? You’re not lying to me?”
“If you don’t believe it, come with me.”
Lan Yuyi hesitated for a moment, but indeed followed him out.
Once she was out, Lu Lingche looked back at their empty home, finally feeling a slight sense of relief — he genuinely disliked having other people in his home.
The assistant had already opened the rear door of the car, carefully helping Lan Yuyi to get in.
Lu Lingche, meanwhile, got straight into the passenger seat himself.
Watching his back, Lan Yuyi felt unhappy but felt she had already shown enough moodiness for one day. Any more might annoy him.
So, she put on a gentle facade, chatting with him about some recent happenings on the way, striving to create a relaxed atmosphere.
However, as she sat there she suddenly noticed a bunch of long hair on the backseat.
She was instantly furious!
Which woman’s hair was this? Had Lu Lingche actually had another woman in his car?
Under normal circumstances, a woman wouldn’t lose so much hair. What had he been doing with her?
His shirt was torn, and there was even a handprint on his face.
Just how intense had their encounter been?
Judging from the length and color of the hair, it looked a lot like Qiao Yin’s!
The gentleness on Lan Yuyi’s face was hard to maintain. Her long nails dug into her palm as if she was clutching at Qiao Yin instead of herself.
It took her quite a while to suppress her jealousy, and then she resumed telling Lu Lingche interesting stories as if nothing had happened.
Too bad, no matter how amusing she found them, Lu Lingche showed no reaction at all and kept his icy expression, like an unmelted iceberg.
Lan Yuyi gritted her teeth in secret. The more he acted like this, the more she wanted him!
This man was hers, as was everything belonging to the Lu family. She would never allow any other woman to touch them!
Especially not Qiao Yin!
By the time they arrived at the Lu’s, she had already regained her composed, kind demeanor. She entered the grand and elegant living room, trailing a step behind Lu Lingche.
Madam Lu was surprised and overjoyed seeing her and Lu Lingche appearing together, “Yuyi, why are you here, too? Come here, let me have a look at you, are you feeling better now?”
Lan Yuyi gave her a smile, “Aunt Yao, I’m all better now, you don’t have to worry. I’ve moved in with Lingche. He is coming over to fix Uncle’s laptop and didn’t want me to be at home alone, so he brought me along.”
Her words carried a sense of sweetness and a touch of shyness. Anyone unaware of the situation might think that Lu Lingche cared and loved her deeply.
Although Madam Lu was semi-aware of the truth, she, too, believed that Lu Lingche was in love with Lan Yuyi, he just refused to admit it.
Seeing Lan Yuyi acting so endearing, Madam Lu’s previous anxiety after being berated by Lu Mingzhen substantially subsided, carefully helping her onto the sofa.
Watching Lan Yuyi’s performance, Lu Lingche considered thoughtfully.
She seemed to know how to create the impression that others dote on her.
He did not bring her to the Lu’s for the reason she’d explained, yet he found it hard to clarify.
Could it be that his older brother had also fallen into a similar situation in the past?
Has Lan Yuyi’s deceptive act been too clever for anyone to see through?
For some reason, Lu Lingche thought of Qiao Yin. She never pretended to be something she was not. Regardless of his attitude towards her, she never put on a facade in front of others.
He had thought Qiao Yin was good at pretending, but now it seemed, she had her merits.
Lan Yuyi was not as straightforward as he had assumed..
