Lu Jin lowered his head and leaned back listlessly on the sofa.
Half of his body was in shadow and the expression on his face could not be seen.
Huo Shaoheng thought it was a good thing that Lu Jin still had someone he could not resist, and that was Nianzhi.
As long as Nianzhi asked him, Lu Jin wouldn't lie to her.
The two of them didn't speak and just sat quietly in the living room.
At daybreak, both of them dozed off.
…
Lu Yuan woke up in his room with a splitting headache.
The feeling of a hangover was terrible.
However, he hadn't gotten drunk in so many years. He was too happy yesterday, so he indulged himself.
But after indulging himself, he remembered what he had done when he was drunk, and couldn't help but hit his head with a headache.
He could only hope that Huo Shaoheng could help him put away the pencil sketches in time so that Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin wouldn't see them.
However, he remembered who he had drawn. If it was really Huo Shaoheng who had put it away, Lu Yuan's face turned pale …
He was done for. He was too ashamed to face anyone.
At this moment, Lu Yuan did not want to get up at all. He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself. He would never wake up to face these people.
This was too embarrassing.
…
It was already nine in the morning when Gu Nianzhi woke up.
She washed up and came out of the bedroom to find Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin still sleeping on the sofa.
Gu Nianzhi let out a long sigh.
It was good to see Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng by her side.
These were the two most important men in her life.
He took out two blankets and gently covered them.
Lu Jin was really asleep. Gu Nianzhi covered him with a blanket, but he didn't notice at all. He just changed to a more comfortable way to sleep.
Huo Shaoheng woke up the moment Gu Nianzhi opened the door, but he was still asleep and didn't move.
When Gu Nianzhi covered him with the blanket, he gently kissed her cheek.
Gu Nianzhi blushed and twisted Huo Shaoheng's muscular waist under the blanket.
Huo Shaoheng was in pain, but he didn't make a sound. He only narrowed his eyes and smiled at her.
Gu Nianzhi pouted but didn't say anything. She got up and went to the kitchen to check.
They were all dishes that she didn't know how to cook, so she had to wait for Lu Yuan to cook breakfast.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and took the pencil sketches that Lu Yuan had drawn yesterday. She went to Lu Yuan's apartment and rang the doorbell.
Lu Yuan didn't want to get up at first, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi ringing the doorbell on the monitor, he still got up and opened the door.
"Good morning, Nianzhi." Lu Yuan was wearing casual clothes and opened the door with a smile. "You're up so early?"
"I just came to see if you were feeling better, President Lu." Gu Nianzhi smiled and hid the stack of sketches behind her back. "I didn't disturb your sleep, did I?"
"I've been awake for a while." Lu Yuan went to the kitchen to get a bottle of milk for Gu Nianzhi. He warmed it in the microwave and brought it over to her. There were also two soda crackers.
"Thank you, President Lu." Gu Nianzhi smiled. "How did you know I was hungry?"
Lu Yuan laughed. "If you weren't hungry and came to find someone to make breakfast, why would you knock on my door?"
Gu Nianzhi made a face. "President Lu, you're wrong."
She leisurely took out the stack of pencil sketches. "I'm actually here to return them to their rightful owner."
The pencil sketches slammed down on the mahogany dining table in front of her. Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything. She picked up the milk and slowly drank it.
Lu Yuan looked at the stack of pencil sketches, and his mind went blank.
He had never expected that these things would not be kept by Huo Shaoheng, but fall into Gu Nianzhi's hands …
But on second thought, this was better than falling into Huo Shaoheng's hands, right?
After all, Song Jinning was Huo Shaoheng's mother, and he was Huo Shaoheng's father's older brother. This relationship was too messy and complicated.
Lu Yuan didn't know what Huo Shaoheng would think of him.
Now that it had fallen into Gu Nianzhi's hands, even though she was Huo Shaoheng's fiancée, she didn't know that Peter was Huo Shaoheng, so it shouldn't be anything, right?
However, she knew Song Jinning, so he had to think about how to explain this problem …
Gu Nianzhi finished a bottle of milk and took a good look at Lu Yuan's expression before deliberately asking, "President Lu, who is this girl? She's so beautiful! "
Lu Yuan looked up at her and said frankly, "You don't know her. She's the person I like. I haven't seen her for many years. "
"Oh? Is that so? She also looks like someone I know. " Gu Nianzhi deliberately pretended not to know Lu Yuan's secret. "Could it be that we know the same person?"
Lu Yuan calmly put away the pencil sketches and said, "Really? Who? "
"But that person is in the other world …" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "How do you know someone from the other world?"
"… The person I know is in this world, not in the other world," Lu Yuan said without hesitation. "Maybe she's her counterpart."
Gu Nianzhi's lips twitched. If it weren't for that bowl of San Xian fried rice, she would have believed him!
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi picked up the baking soda biscuit on the white porcelain plate and said with a smile, "Let me meet her when I have the chance. So President Lu really has a second spring."
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I didn't even have a first spring, so how could I have a second spring?"
"Oh? So this is your first spring … "Gu Nianzhi said meaningfully and stood up." Okay, President Lu, go make us lunch when you have time. There's no need for breakfast. My dad and Peter are still sleeping. "
Lu Yuan didn't know that so many things had happened overnight.
He nodded. "I'll go wash up first, and then I'll go over to your side to cook."
"Thank you, President Lu." Gu Nianzhi beamed and turned to leave, but Lu Yuan stopped her.
He took out a red envelope and handed it over. "Nianzhi, this is your New Year's money."
Gu Nianzhi took it in surprise. "It's a real red envelope! I still have New Year's money?! "
That was great!
She used to be a red envelope expert on the internet, but she didn't send red envelopes much anymore.
She opened it on the spot and saw a stack of brand-new RMB, the kind with the largest denomination.
Gu Nianzhi kissed the red envelope and smiled. "Thank you, President Lu! This is the best gift! "
Lu Yuan smiled and patted her head. "I'm glad you like it."
He was as considerate and protective as an elder to a junior.
Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood. She hummed her demonic off-key song as she returned to the suite opposite her.
At this time, Huo Shaoheng was no longer on the sofa.
Lu Jin was sitting alone on the sofa, still covered with the blanket. His expression was one of shock.
Gu Nianzhi walked over and sat beside him. She asked softly, "Dad, are you okay?"
As she spoke, she tested Lu Jin's forehead with her hand, worried that he would have a fever and get sick.
Lu Jin was extremely touched. He raised his hand and held Gu Nianzhi's hand that was testing his forehead. His voice was almost choked with sobs. "… Nianzhi, I made you worry. It's my fault."
"Dad, don't say that." Gu Nianzhi brought Lu Jin a bottle of water. "Drink some water. President Lu will come and make us lunch later."
Lu Jin lifted the blanket and sat up straight. He asked with concern, "Nianzhi, have you had breakfast?"
"I just drank milk at President Lu's place and ate a few baking soda biscuits." Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin and her voice became stern. "Dad, can you tell me now why you went to the Dunhill Hotel in the middle of the night last night?"
She could clearly see from the location display that Lu Jin had gone to the Dunhill Hotel.
Lu Jin looked away and muttered, "… If I had known earlier, I would have canceled the location …"
He had thought that Gu Nianzhi would definitely be sleeping on New Year's Eve. He had waited for the matter to be settled before canceling the location on Gu Nianzhi's phone.
In the end, he hadn't expected Peter to interfere. Gu Nianzhi had been "monitoring" his movements from beginning to end.
Thinking about it, it was really a freak accident.
Lu Jin felt warm and proud of Gu Nianzhi, but he also felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
The location was really a double-edged sword!
"What location are you talking about?" Gu Nianzhi raised her voice. Her sharp gaze didn't allow Lu Jin to dodge. "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Lu Jin shook his head hurriedly. "No, no! Of course not! "
"That's good." Gu Nianzhi also sat up straight and asked seriously, "I saw the news. There was an 'international murder case' at the Dunhill Hotel yesterday. What's going on? Don't tell me it has something to do with you! "
Lu Jin thought awkwardly, it really has something to do with me …
His gaze wandered, but he didn't dare to meet Gu Nianzhi's gaze.
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. "… It really has something to do with you?! What exactly is going on? "
Seeing that Lu Jin didn't say anything, she picked up her phone and began to search for news about the "international murder case" at the Dunhill Hotel.
After a night of fermentation, the news about Ishihara Baisan finally spread online.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the hot news, and her already big eyes widened even more.
She blurted out, "What?! Ishihara Baisan committed suicide again?! "
Lu Jin immediately became curious. "… Why did you say 'again'?"
