Strangely, she suddenly remembered a time she had spent in Hong Kong!
Back then, she used to lean against her fatherâs back on the balcony of their home, watching the stars.
Her father would tell her tales of many constellations and teach her how to recognize them.
But, she always failed to recognize them, feeling particularly dumb!
After her parents disappeared, she would look at the stars and subconsciously think, âThatâs Ursa Major, thatâs Aquariusâ¦â Strangely, she started recognizing them!
But she could no longer share this good news with her father!
Her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears!
âMhm, okay, understand, urgent matter, letâs meet up next time, goodbye!â
After Lu Yinchu tersely ended the call, Nanxi snapped back to reality, took a deep breath and said, âMr.
Lu, regardless of whether Mr.
Mo is handling it or not, I still need to go to my uncleâs place.
If itâs inconvenient for you to take me, Iâll go by myself!â
âNanxi, do you think I came all the way here just to play your chauffeur?â
ââ¦â Nanxi fell silent.
She definitely couldnât afford having Lu Yinchu as her driver!
Taking a deep breath, she asked, âAlright, where do you say weâre going now?â
It was late at night, if he wasnât dropping her at her uncleâs, he must be dropping her back to school!
She couldnât think of anywhere else!
But it turns out, Nanxi had seriously underestimated Lu Yinchu!
Lu Yinchuâs captivating lips curled into a smile, his handsome profile illuminated by the street lights.
He took a look at her and said, âGoing back to the Lu Family Residence!â
ââ¦â Nanxi was somewhat taken aback.
She wasnât sure if she heard correctly.
What did Lu Yinchu just say?
Going back toâ¦where?
âYou heard it right, Nanxi, Iâm going to take you back to the Lu Family Residence now!â the man repeated, as if he could read her mind.
âWhy are we going there?â
Nanxi exclaimed, slight anger in her voice over his autocratic decision!
Moreover, she involuntarily recalled the previous phone call and felt some discomfort welling up, âI wonât go!â
âNanxi, donât be stubborn!â
Lu Yinchuâs eyebrows furrowed as he looked at her, âMy grandfather hasnât been well lately, my mother wants me to take you to see him!â
âWe can go see him tomorrow!â
âWe happen to meet tonight, and besides, your dormitory will turn the lights off soon, there wouldnât be enough time to get back.
As for your uncleâs place, you donât need to worry about it.
Mo Yan will handle it better than you.
Your cousin Qiaoqiao will comfort your uncle and grandmother!â
In other words, your presence there would be redundant!
Nanxiâs frustration grew, âI can get up early tomorrow to make breakfast for my uncle and grandmother.
I want to go back!â
âIs that soâ¦â Lu Yinchuâs voice lowered.
At the red light, he stopped his car, seemingly deep in thought.
Then he said, âIâll have Mo Yan order breakfast from Yipin Residence to be delivered there tomorrow morning.
The breakfast cooked by a top chef should be more delicious than yours!â
ââ¦â This is too much!
âMr.
Lu, do you find it amusing to manipulate othersâ thoughts and lives?
Do you feel accomplished?â
Nanxi bit her lip, at a loss for words, and could only question him like this!
The countdown to the end of the red light began, five seconds left.
The girlâs rather icy voice filtered through the thick night, falling into his ears.
He sighed, âNanxi, if I could easily control someoneâs life, I wouldnât have pushed myself into this helpless situation.
I am not a god, I am just an ordinary man!â
Nanxi pursed her lips, observing his tightly pressed lips and his cold chin, she felt a wave of melancholy well up inside her!
Without saying anything else, Lu Yinchu started the car â the green light was on!
âDonât make yourself out to be so pitiful, Lu Yinchu.
You have so much, yet you donât care for it all.
Itâs because youâve got it all too easily.
Have you ever considered that what you take for granted are things many people yearn for their whole lives and still fail to acquireâ¦
So, even if you are being pushed, itâs you who is pushing yourself.
Nobody is forcing you!
Nobody dares to force you!â
After Nanxi speaking, she turned her head away without looking at the man.
The atmosphere inside the car instantly became quiet, almost silent.
Until a hand suddenly reached over, grabbed her hand, and she failed to break free.
Then came Lu Yinchuâs deep and indifferent voice, âNanxi, Iâm sorry.â
Nanxiâs fingertips trembled, and that large hand enveloping hers somehow intertwined with her fingers, their palms touching, their fingers intertwined.
â¦
The car arrived at the Lu Mansion twenty minutes later.
Before getting off the car, there was a slight resistance from Nanxi, she asked Lu Yinchu, âWhy did you bring me here, whatâs our relationship right now in front of your family, and where am I supposed to sleep tonight?â
Lu Yinchuâs lips moved slightly, then replied, âDonât worry, I wonât force you into anything you are unwilling to.â
Nanxi frowned, her face involuntarily turned red.
Lu Yinchu pulled Nanxi out of the car.
The housekeeper came up to greet them and Lu Yinchu handed the car keys over without saying anything, and led Nanxi straight into the house.
Everyone in the Lu Family was asleep, except for Xia Zhen, who was startled to see Nanxi, but when she saw their intertwined fingers, she could guess the situation.
Nanxi greeted Xia Zhen, âHello, Auntie.â
âHello!
Why are you back so late?
Have you had dinner?
You didnât even inform me ahead of timeâ¦â
Xia Zhen was overjoyed and asked a bunch of questions.
Nanxi felt awkward and excused herself to the bathroom, led away by a servant.
Back in the living room, Xia Zhen held her sonâs arm and asked, âHow are you going to arrange the sleeping situation⦠Should I prepare the guest room, orâ¦â
Lu Yinchu twitched his lips then replied, âMom, arenât you eager to have a grandchild?â
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhen instantly understood!
When Nanxi returned, Xia Zhen was no longer there.
It was just Lu Yinchu in the living room.
She walked up to him, puzzled, and asked, âWhereâs Auntie?â
âShe went to prepare the room!â
ââ¦â Nanxi didnât quite know what to say, âWeâre sleeping separately, right?â
âAre you saying you want to share a room with me?â The manâs lip curled with a playful smirk.
âOf course not!â Nanxi immediately waved her hands, âWe should sleep separately, we must sleep separately!â
Lu Yinchu just smiled without commenting.
After a while, Xia Zhen came down and said, âThe room is ready.
Itâs getting late, both of you should rest early.
Tomorrow morning, we will visit the old man.
He will be thrilled to know that Nanxi is here.â
Nanxi just gave a smile without saying anything.
Lu Yinchu put down his tea cup, grabbed Nanxiâs arm, and told Xia Zhen, âMom, weâre going to our room.â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Xia Zhen watched them, happy to see her son and prospective daughter-in-law seemed to get along well.
Besides, Nanxi was polite, sensible and neat, a good girl indeed.
She really hoped they could settle down soon, get married, and then await the birth of their child, which would make her feel thoroughly content in life!
Lu Yinchu pulled Nanxi to the third floor suite.
When they entered, Nanxi exclaimed in surprise, âDidnât we agree to sleep separately?â
âWeâll talk about it once we get in there!â
Lu Yinchu opened the door, turned on the light, and before Nanxi could react, he pulled her in and closed the door.
Nanxi found herself being pushed into the room by Lu Yinchu.
She recognized this room, she had even taken a nap here last time.
She had been able to cope with a certain degree of discomfort then, but nowâ¦
âMr.
Lu, you said you wouldnât force me!â Nanxiâs face flushed in annoyance.
Lu Yinchu responded, âRelax, youâll take the bed, and Iâll take the couch!
Weâll sleep separately!
Of course, if you wanted us to sleep together, I wouldnât oppose it.â
