s dragged to the safety corridor stairwell."Ugh...let go of me!"As she wished, the man's hand moved away, and then a warm thing covered her lips.The familiar masculine scent made Wen Man stunned.It is...After Mingzhu finished speaking, she felt stifled.

It's not that she's heartless, but she's been through too much.

Lu Qian gave her hope time and time again, only to disappoint her again and again. She dared not love anymore.

So she would rather accept mediocrity.

Lu Qian calmly watched the front of the car. He hadn't eaten lunch, and his stomach was very uncomfortable. But he endured it with all his might, not wanting to show weakness in front of her.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I'll take you back to the set!"

Míngzhū shook her head: "I drove here."

She finished speaking and went to open the car door.

Lu Qian suddenly held her back: "Don't go!"

The pearl had rolled back. She looked into his deep eyes, calm and composed. Anyone else would have thought he wasn't even trying to hold her captive with such immense force.

After a long standoff, Mingzhu softly said, "Let go!"

Lu Qian gently let go of his hand.

She dashed out of the car, as if being chased.

After closing the car door, Lu Qian gently pressed his abdomen. He sat quietly for a while then took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it with water.

He only went back to the company after he felt more comfortable.

Liu's secretary saw that he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to provoke him. She only said before getting off work: "It's time to pick up Xiaoshuoshui, you go and get him, the little guy will be happy for sure.

When talking about his son, Lu Qian's mood improved.

He took Shuoshuo back.

The little guy jumped out of his dad's car with a small backpack, and Old Lady Lu had already been waiting for him.

"You're sweating! Go take a shower quickly."

"Grandma made little ice creams by herself, one after another."

……

Xiaolu blushed slightly, washed his face and sat on a small chair, obediently eating ice.

The old woman fanned him to cool him down.

Her eyes were sharp as she glanced at her son.

He is not right!

Lu Qian took off his coat and threw it onto the sofa casually. He didn't even want to move.

The old woman put her hand to her ear and mimicked Lu Qian's tone, saying: "Oh my, someone called home last night, saying something about the old woman, I'm not going home today... Oh, I have to take care of Mingzhu! The little girl drank too much, she might come here and make you unhappy!"

Xiao Lu choked on a mouthful of ice cream.

The old woman glared at her son, letting out a cold laugh: "Look at you! Chasing a wife is harder than that thing you got up in the sky back then That one required some brains, but all you're doing with Mingzhu is talking! You don't treat the little girl well and you don't even think about your age compared to hers!"

In the past, Lu Qian would always make a few self-deprecating jokes.

But today he was irritable and said nothing, going upstairs to his study.

The old woman gazed longingly.

Liu's secretary leaned in and whispered, "We hit a wall! He wasn't even acknowledged!"

"Oh!"

The old woman sighed deeply, then nodded: "It's because I didn't reason with him! That's normal too. He thinks he's still the prime flower at twenty-eight! Only he can pick on others, but others can't pick on him!"

Xiaolu nodded repeatedly.

The old woman was tough-talking, but at night she still specially brought a bowl of wonton over.

Lu Qian was in his study, brooding.

The old woman pushed the door open and placed the wonton soup in front of him, saying softly, "Eat some. I see you haven't had the appetite to eat all day!"

Lu Qian called out to his mother.

The old woman knew he was downcast, so she patted his hand and said, "She has you in her heart! But she blames you too!"

Lu Qian smiled bitterly: "I know!"

The old woman pointed at the bowl of wonton soup and said, "Some people like to add cilantro to their food, while others don't! It's the same with feelings. If you want her this way and she wants that way, you won't end up together! Just like when you went abroad for treatment, you were afraid of burdening her so you pushed her away. How do you know that's what she wanted How do you know she wasn't strong enough"

"Lu Qian, you are powerful but too self-centered!"

Lu Qian listened quietly, slowly eating the wontons.

He only ate half.

The old woman hit him and laughed, scolding him: "Apologize to her quickly! You're making trouble for her, and she won't even come see me."

Lu Qian touched a piece of peppermint candy.

After a long time, a faint smile appeared...

Before going to sleep, he sent Mingzhu a WeChat message, the content was especially generous.

Wish her success in finding love.

I'm sorry about that thug stuff from the other night!

< Mingzhu ignored him! >

Lu Qian looked at the content and also thought it was quite shameless, so he put down his phone.

Just as he was about to turn off the light and go to sleep, a little person crept in from the doorway, silently slid under the covers from the foot of the bed, and finally nestled into his arms.

Lu Qian reached out and touched.

Xiao Shuoshuo.

He whispered, "Do you want to sleep with Daddy"

Xiaoshuoshuo refused to speak, hugging Lu Qian's waist with both hands and touching him here and there.

Lu Qian stopped talking and gently patted his son.

Long after he thought Shuoshuo had fallen asleep, the little one suddenly blurted out, “Mommy doesn’t like those uncles.”

Lu Qian's voice was hoarse: "I know!"

Xiao Shuoshuo felt relieved and snuggled up to his maternal grandfather, sleeping comfortably.

Lu Qian, under the soft moonlight, looked at his son, feeling a pang of nostalgia. He also missed Xiao Lu You's mother.

But he was still angry!

He didn't take the initiative to contact her, only learning from Shuoshuo that the last blind date had fallen through.

Lu Qian's mood improved slightly.

That day, Zhang the secretary knocked on the door and came in with a smile, saying, "Mr. Lu, Director Wang is looking for you!"

Director Wang

Lu Qian remembered, that was the director of the Mingzhu play, he must be here to invest.

He was willing to give it, but he also wanted to see the pearl.

He called back Director Wang and said politely, “This little thing is really nothing to trouble you with! How about this, I'll have Mingzhu bring over the check tomorrow …Yes, she and I often meet!”

……

After hanging up the phone, he felt much better.

As evening approached, Mingzhu called.

She asked him, "Lu Qian, what do you mean"

Lu Qian also didn't beat around the bush with her. He said very directly, "Come over and have dinner with me, I'll take the check to you!"

Mingzhu hesitated for a moment.

She lowered her voice: "If I don't go with you, will you still make things difficult"

"Right" Lu Qian admitted directly.

He thought she would get angry and throw a little tantrum, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.

"Alright, I'll have dinner with Mr. Lu!"

She said the two characters "Lu Zong" with utmost mockery.

Lu Qian could hear it, but he didn't mind. Mostly, he just really missed her.

He wanted to pick her up, but Mingzhu said she was driving herself.

Finally, they agreed to meet at their usual home-style Chinese restaurant, in the same private room as always.

Lu Qian arrived first and ordered seven or eight dishes, all of which Mingzhu loved.

After about 10 minutes, Mingzhu came over.

She brought an assistant with her, but Lu Qian gave him a look and he left.

Mingzhu looked at the closed door and didn't say anything. She sat down in Lu Qian's seat and picked up her chopsticks to eat, saying lightly, "I'm a little hungry!"e shook off his hand, got into the car, and drove away.Huo Shaoting wasn't angry. He stood there, smoking quietly, his eyes and brows betraying the air of a mature, stylish man between each puff...Jin...
