Hearing the name Lu made me feel a bit nauseous, but I couldn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world, so I quickly asked, "Which Boss Lu?"
Su Qian didn't hide anything at all: "It's Lu Xiangzhi, Miss Lu's father, the one we met in Hong Kong."
"How could it be him? Is there no one left in Haicheng? This house is in a good location; how did it change hands so many times and end up with him? I'll have Xiao Minxing buy it back as soon as I return; I won't let them keep it even if it rots in their hands."
I was genuinely furious and couldn't understand what Lu Xiangzhi was thinking, not to mention his twisted father. No matter how bad his daughter is, he shouldn't let a married man divorce his wife to marry her, right? Now she’s living in the house we used to live in—what is going on? What are they planning?
Not wanting to chat with Su Qian any longer, I hurriedly said goodbye and wanted to go back and ask Xiao Minxing about it.
He had only mentioned that someone with the surname Lu came to Haicheng for business; he never mentioned that he would buy a house here to settle down. Moreover, there are so many good properties in Haicheng; this place is far from the city center and only suitable for long-term residence, not really a top choice for a businessman. If they found it, perhaps it was Xiao Minxing who pointed them in that direction.
What else is he up to? Is he trying to relive old dreams with someone new? Are the things that happened between us going to be reenacted through Lu Xiangzhi?
Just as I turned around, Su Qian called out to me and asked, "What's wrong?"
I turned back to look at him, feeling a surge of anger.
Su Qian and Zhuo Feng both witnessed what happened in Hong Kong. With his intelligence, he should have figured out why I changed my expression upon hearing Lu Xiangzhi's name. Now asking me this only made me feel more annoyed with him.
He walked over and stood by the car door, looking at me like before and asked, "You were fine just now; why are you suddenly angry? Anan, you weren't like this before. Besides, don't you want to know why I'm here?"
I didn't respond and looked at him again, confused about what he meant by that question.
Could it be that he knows about Xiao Minxing's infidelity and came here to see my reaction?
Perhaps my expression was too strange because Su Qian smiled slightly and said, "Alright then, I was going to wait a couple of days to tell you, but seeing your current state, it's better to say it now: Lu Xiangzhi has agreed to be my girlfriend."
"What did you say?" I unconsciously took a step forward and looked into Su Qian's eyes.
He shrugged and said, "I finally found a girlfriend. Aren't you happy for me?"
I was happy, but not for him.
Lu Xiangzhi is actually Su Qian's girlfriend—what does that mean for her relationship with Xiao Minxing?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask him, "When did this happen? Why didn't you mention it when we met her in Hong Kong?"
He smiled slightly, his dimples particularly deep: "Just now, didn't I just come from her house?"
I was already confused by him. This wasn't the first time I had seen him standing at this door; I thought he had known the people from the Lu Family for a long time. Yet he hadn't mentioned anything before, and now he said that Lu Xiangzhi had just agreed to be his girlfriend?
Was there something else going on here?
I couldn't figure it out. Su Qian didn't elaborate much either. He opened the car door for me and said, "Let's gather again when Mina and the others return from Hong Kong. We'll explain everything from the beginning then."
I stood by the car door watching him, suddenly realizing that I seemed to know nothing about this person. Beneath that gentle exterior, he always hid many things I didn't know. Even when he spoke clearly, I felt there was still something left unsaid.
I didn't ask about Lu Xiangzhi anymore, not even when Xiao Minxing returned. I patiently waited for Mina to come back and for Su Qian's explanation.
Three days later in the morning, while I was still in bed, I heard Sister Wang talking outside.
Xiao Minxing had also been coming home late these days. At that moment, he was already dressed and said to me upon hearing the voices outside, "What's going on? Did Xiao Zhe cause a scene again? Making noise so early."
His temper had been a bit strange lately, as if he particularly disliked hearing any commotion.
I glanced at him without responding and got up to put on a morning coat.
It was already a bit chilly in the mornings at this time of year. Inside the house was fine, but stepping outside made it clear that autumn had arrived.
Xiao Minxing came over to straighten my clothes and said, "If you're tired, you can lie down a bit longer. I'll go check it out and report back to you."
Although I hadn't argued with him recently, I also didn't want to engage with him. Our relationship could be described as mutually calming or, on a bad day, mutually indifferent.
I waited for him to say something to me, but he continued to act as if he understood nothing. Even when he came home late every day, I couldn't tell if it was because of work. If Su Qian hadn't told me that Lu Xiangzhi was already his girlfriend, I might have really lost my patience and gone to Xiao Minxing's company.
Now looking at him standing in front of me, calmly helping me adjust my clothes and speaking softly, the atmosphere seemed to be under his control; even the ice between us seemed to have melted a little.
I pulled my clothes back and walked away from him saying, "I'll go check it out; you go to work."
Xiao Minxing pursed his lips and didn't say anything more as he followed me out of the house.
Sister Wang was standing at Ye Guang's room entrance, talking while looking inside; she seemed quite anxious.
Ye Guang has been acting strangely lately. Ever since I saw him that day, he has been getting up early every day to stand in the yard, with the same expression and posture. If I ask him anything, he just repeats what he has already said.
At first, I was quite worried, but after observing him for two days without any significant changes, I decided to let it be. However, now seeing Sister Wang standing at his room's Entrance, I feel like I might have underestimated the situation.
When I reached the Entrance, I was taken aback. Ye Guang was only wearing a pair of briefs, standing in the room rummaging through the Closet, with things scattered all over the floor and bed.
His expression looked very focused, as if he was trying to find something from the cabinet, completely ignoring us at the Entrance.
Sister Wang anxiously said, “Xiao Zong, Anan, look at him! He usually dresses properly in the morning, but today he started rummaging through the closet right after getting up. I brought him clothes, but he won’t wear them and even kicked me out, not letting me into his room.”
Xiao Minxing peeked inside and blocked my and Sister Wang’s way, saying, “You two go check on Xiao Zhe. I'll handle this.”
I turned to him and asked, “What’s going on? He’s been at our place for a while now, and this is the first time it’s happened.”
Actually, Ye Guang isn’t much different from a normal person. He usually doesn’t need help even when taking a shower. After coming to our house, he just asked Sister Wang and the others to wash his clothes. This situation today is truly a first for him, so I felt a bit anxious.
However, seeing Xiao Minxing’s demeanor seemed steadier than mine, so I could only head downstairs first.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Minxing came down alone.
I hurried over to ask him, “Where’s Ye Guang? Is he still refusing to wear clothes?”
