“Mrs. Gu is quite skilled at deceiving Mr. Gu,” Pei Yiyun said, tilting her head with a seductive smile, her eyes becoming playful. She asked in return, “Does Mrs. Gu, who acts in stage plays, know about my existence?”

“I don’t know,” Gu Liye said as he embraced her waist and squeezed her slender figure. “But she will be returning home in the evening. Shall we be quick?”

Smooth talker.

Pei Yiyun muttered in her mind. Then she remembered something and said, “Your junior sister is really good at winning people’s hearts. Not only you, but even Yiwu admires her.”

Mentioning Lu Yang, the expression in Gu Liye’s eyes behind his glasses changed almost imperceptibly. “Do you want to know the reason?”

“Naturally.”

“The reason is simple.”

Pei Yiyun was puzzled.

Gu Liye leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice. “Because she is Lu Yang.”

Pei Yiyun didn’t understand, so she heard Gu Liye say, “You’ll understand when you meet her.”

Lu Mingyu’s rehearsal was scheduled for after 7 PM. It was still before 4 PM when they finished dinner. During the time Jiang Yanzhou was tidying up the dining table, Lu Yang nestled on the couch for a while and received a message from He Huaijing, asking her to organize some materials. She informed him and went to the study to sort things out.

Time always passed quickly when one was busy. Lu Yang stretched lazily and looked around, her gaze stopping on the man who had somehow entered and was now sitting on the couch. She asked, “What about… you don’t go find Doctor Yuan anymore?”

Thinking something had happened to her, Jiang Yanzhou furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Yang stood up, her eyes shining brightly. “I want to study.”

“Study what?”

“You. ”

Lu Yang was speechless.

Her greatest, and only, evil thought toward him was to treat him as an experiment.

Seeing him remain silent, Lu Yang asked, “Is it not possible?”

Jiang Yanzhou walked up to her, lowering his voice. “It’s possible…”

Before Lu Yang could react, she heard him continue, “If you want to play me to death. ”

Lu Yang was rendered speechless again.

“If you give your boyfriend a hug, he’ll probably die for you willingly.”

With that statement, Jiang Yanzhou reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his embrace. His left hand gently slid into her hair.

Lu Yang leaned against his solid chest, her accelerated heartbeat a natural response. She still hadn’t steadied herself, but her tone remained calm. “You’re going a bit overboard.”

“Just to make sure,” Jiang Yanzhou asked, “we’re together now, right?”

As he asked this question, the strange fluttering in his chest involuntarily increased its frequency. Lu Yang could even feel the tenseness of his arm muscles as he held her.

“Yeah. We’re together.”

After speaking, Lu Yang suddenly felt a firm palm on her back. Before she could react. the man lifted her uD and Dlaced her on the desk.

Before she could regain her senses, he bent his knees and positioned himself between her legs, resting against the edge of the desk.

He was suddenly so close, his magnified handsome face filling her field of vision. Lu Yang’s pupils dilated slightly, like a startled deer.

“Girlfriend, can you give your boyfriend a seal?”

As the man spoke, his warm and dry lips brushed against hers. With each word he uttered, his lips grazed hers, sending a faint electric sensation through her body, making her feel tingly.

Lu Yang’s heart raced, and she pursed her lips, leaning slightly forward. The moment her lips met his, her mind went blank.

Her earlobes turned slightly red, but her tone remained calm. “The kiss is done.

Put me down.”

“That wasn’t a kiss.” Jiang Yanzhou teased. He was reluctant to stop, and he looked at her. “That was just a peck.”

Lu Yang was at a loss for words.

He was torturing himself, going crazy and forgetting that she could stop this relationship at any time.

After a moment, Lu Yang said, “I won’t do it.”

“I’ll teach you.”

The sky seemed to be splattered with ink, turning pitch black. The rehearsal room, which was previously well-lit, instantly plunged into darkness.

Lu Mingyu came out of his own rehearsal room and went to pick up Lu Yang for dinner. After dinner, he also…

“When Yangyang is in a bad mood, I’ll buy her ice cream.” Lu Mingyu reached out his hand. “Here.” “Thank you.”

“No need, it’s twenty dollars.”

His phone rang, and Lu Mingyu unlocked it. After reading the message, he sighed. “Mrs. Ning has too much free time.”

Pei Yiwu tilted her head curiously and asked, “Who is Mrs. Ning?”

Lu Mingyu replied, “She’s Yangyang and my biological mother.”

Pei Yiwu asked, puzzled, “Why do you call her Mrs. Ning?”

Lu Mingyu patiently explained, “Because my father said that although Mrs. Ning married him, she will always be herself, so we don’t have a Mrs. Lu in our family, only Mrs. Ning.”

Suddenly, seeing Pei Yiwu furrow her brows, Lu Mingyu asked worriedly,

“What’s wrong?”

Pei Yiwu placed her hand on her abdomen and slowly said, “I’m feeling a bit of pain. ”

“Pain?”

“Probably menstrual cramps… It’s fine.”

“You’re crazy. When you have your period, you eat ice cream. Don’t you know how to refuse?”

“This is the ice cream you gave me.”

Pei Yiwu covered her abdomen, unable to straighten up due to the pain. She squatted down and said, “Let me rest for a bit before we continue.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Mingyu looked at her solemnly. “How severe is the pain? If it’s serious, I’ll take you to the hospital. If it’s not too severe, I’ll get you some medicine.”

“It’s alright,” Pei Yiwu looked up and spoke with difficulty. “Do you know what medicine to buy?”

“I know.” Lu Mingyu took off his only jacket and draped it over her. “Stay here, don’t wander around.”

Pei Yiwu hesitated slightly. “Aren’t you cold?”

“Cold my ass. I’ll be right back.”

A pleasant scent wafted in the air, reminiscent of laundry detergent, with a faint hint of mint.

It was refreshing and alleviated her pain to some extent.

Lu Mingyu didn’t take long to return. As autumn approached winter, he was wearing short sleeves and had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead from running.

Pei Yiwu stared at him as he ran past her in a daze.

Lu Mingyu squatted down, opened the medicine box, held the medicine in one hand, and the cup in the other.

Pei Yiwu hesitated. “Coffee with medicine?”

Lu Mingyu replied, “It’s not coffee, it’s warm water. Hurry up and take the medicine. The longer you delay, the more you’ll suffer.”

Pei Yiwu slowly swallowed the medicine. The cup indeed contained warm water, not coffee.

After a while, Lu Mingyu asked, “How are you feeling now? Much better?”

“I’m fine, let’s go. Yangyang has been waiting for a long time.”

Pei Yiwu lowered her head and wiped her nose, sniffing. “I’m already like this.”

Lu Mingyu asked, “Like what?”

Pei Yiwu’s voice trembled as she spoke, “Even though I know it’s not right to say this, I can’t walk right now. Can you carry me to the car?”

Lu Mingyu couldn’t believe it. “What are you saying? We’re just ordinary friends, Let’s not cross that line,”

Pei Yiwu replied, “Never mind then. You can go. Let me fend for myself.” She hugged her knees and curled up, looking incredibly pitiful.

“Forget it, Yangyang has been waiting for a long time.” After considering it, Lu Mingyu squatted down again, lifted her up, and quickly averted his gaze as he passed her bare legs. Out of the blue, he made a sarcastic comment, “It’s so cold, and you’re not even wearing pants.”

“I’m wearing the leg-warming stockings!” Pei Yiwu retorted.

“What the hell is a leg-warming stocking? I’ve never heard of it. I only know that Yangyang wears pants and doesn’t have as many quirks as you.”

Pei Yiwu was rendered speechless..
