He still couldn't take it lying down. So what if she had rejected him with her words? He didn't believe that there would be a woman that he, Chu Weiye, couldn't get.
Bai Lu maintained her original position and didn't move an inch. Her red lips curved slightly as she said self-deprecatingly, "Since you all know that I'm pregnant, to put it bluntly, I'm just a withered flower. I really don't understand. Young Master Chu, with your status and looks, what kind of woman can't you have? Why are you entangling yourself with me? "
"Entangling myself?"
Chu Weiye sneered. His cold lips gradually inched closer to her, but the moment he caught a glimpse of the panic in her eyes, he turned slightly. His scorching hot breath had already stopped by her ear. He didn't kiss her forcefully, but he was practically biting her ear.
"If you think I'm entangling myself with you, then so be it. Who asked me to fancy you? You don't have to remind me that you've already become Liang Feifan's woman. I've always been very clear-headed. " He chuckled softly. "But I, Chu Weiye, have never been someone who easily admits defeat. Don't worry. From now on, I'll use my own methods to pursue you. I won't force you. Bai Lu, you can live in peace. I'll be here waiting for you. I believe that you'll turn around and see my existence."
…
Bai Lu's body stiffened, but Chu Weiye had already let go of her. His thin lips gently slid across her cheek. It seemed unintentional, but there was clearly a lingering warmth.
The words he had just said and the way he was looking at her now …
All of them were conveying the same message — he was determined to win her.
Bai Lu bit her lip. Without waiting for her to refute, Chu Weiye had already reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. He returned to his usual carefree and unruly manner. The corners of his lips curled up as he gently said, "Good luck, my girl, for today's competition."
Bai Lu blinked. She was really a little dazed.
Because she had never seen such a gentle Chu Weiye, she was momentarily at a loss for words. However, he had already turned around and walked directly to his car. Then, under her gaze, he drove away.
This architectural design competition was related to the government, so 80% of the people who came to participate were college graduates.
It was said that this time, if one could win the first place in the competition, it would be equivalent to being recognized by the government of City A. Their future would naturally be bright, and everyone hoped to be the best in the competition.
Bai Lu didn't understand why City A's government wanted to hold these architectural design competitions, but she later found out that it was because the newly appointed Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was more open-minded than the previous senior officials.
He had the intention of nurturing talents. Previously, he had held the bidding meeting in the Municipal Committee building with this mentality.
Although Bai Lu's design plan had been stolen by people from Far East, everyone knew that because of that design plan, Far East had accepted a three-year cooperation project with the municipal government. It was simply a big fish that had fallen out of the water.
As for Bai Lu, although she really wanted to achieve good results in the competition, when she looked around, the entire venue … was filled with people. At this moment, her mentality was very calm.
Just as Liang Feifan had said, to perform normally, the most important thing was to participate. To achieve results, let nature take its course.
Everyone knew the rules of the competition very well. The topic was announced at the last minute. After Bai Lu found her seat, she first took out her phone and prepared to call Liang Feifan again. Unexpectedly, his phone was still turned off.
Bai Lu pressed the button and took a deep breath. Seeing that it was almost time, she wanted to send Liang Feifan a text before she turned off her phone. However, on second thought, she felt that he probably wouldn't be able to see it, so she gave up.
Once the time was up, the competition began quickly. After the topic was announced, Bai Lu let out a sigh of relief.
— — The contestants were required to complete an architectural work that they felt was very suitable in terms of time and ability within two hours.
Bai Lu had been working on this kind of design plan almost every day, so she didn't find it difficult at all. She could easily complete a design in two hours. However, this was a competition, so she spent more than ten minutes before she finally started writing.
…
After two hours, Bai Lu finished her work. When she raised her head, it was just the right time.
She looked at the completed design in her hand again. After muttering to herself for a moment, she picked up the pen and wrote a very small word at the bottom right of the design. Then, she wrote her name and waited for the organizers to collect the design.
After leaving the venue, Bai Lu stood at the main entrance and waited for a while. However, there was still no sign of Liang Feifan's car. Even the villa's chauffeur didn't come over.
Bai Lu took out her phone and pressed the power button. The screen flashed and she quickly connected to a signal. Almost at the same time, a call came in. Bai Lu looked at the three words "Liang Feifan" on the screen. Her heart almost leaped into her throat.
She didn't even think about it and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Are you done with the exam?" Liang Feifan's deep voice traveled through the phone to Bai Lu's ears. She could clearly feel the fatigue in his voice.
Bai Lu's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly tightened. Instead of answering, she asked, "Feifan, why did you turn off your phone? Did something happen? Your voice doesn't sound right. Did something happen to you? "
"Don't be nervous."
Liang Feifan smiled gently and comforted her. Because he deliberately softened his deep voice, it sounded even more seductive. "Aren't I fine? It's nothing too serious. "
"If it's nothing serious, why would you turn off your phone? Feifan, tell me honestly. Is it because of me that you … "
"Silly, what nonsense are you thinking?" Liang Feifan interrupted Bai Lu. He was really afraid that she would let her imagination run wild. He avoided the main point and said lightly, "It has nothing to do with you. It's a matter of the Liang Clan. Yesterday, there was a problem with the Liang Clan's branch in D City. My father couldn't rush over, so I flew over at the last minute. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I was afraid it would affect your mood for the competition today. "
"You're in D City?"
"I'm already back." As expected, Bai Lu heard some noise on his side. It seemed like someone had come to pick him up and let him get into the car. She then heard him say, "You're done with the exam now, right? I'll go pick you up right away … "
"There's no need."
Thinking that he actually flew to D City last night and rushed back at the last minute today, it meant that he basically didn't have time to rest. She knew that it would take at least three hours to fly from A City to D City. He probably didn't stop flying unless he had a meeting. Bai Lu's heart tightened. She felt an indescribable heartache. "I can go back by myself. You should rest. I'll go to your place to find you."
"Don't worry. Your man isn't that weak." Liang Feifan chuckled again. Bai Lu heard him instructing the driver to drive. He paused and said to himself, "Bai Lu, don't go back to the villa. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I wanted to take you somewhere after you finished today? Since you don't want me to pick you up, you can take a taxi yourself. Is that okay? "
"… Where?"
"The Sky Garden." Liang Feifan said, "I'll wait for you there."
The Sky Garden.
It was actually a restaurant. However, because the restaurant was built on the top of the tallest building in A City, all the seats were designed by the windows. Therefore, the people who sat here to eat would have a kind of artistic conception of being in the "Sky Garden".
However, Bai Lu had only seen such a romantic place in magazines before. He knew that the person who designed this restaurant seemed to be a rich second generation. He casually built such a restaurant when he had nothing to do. Originally, he just had the mentality of having fun. He didn't do any publicity when he came out, but the effect was surprisingly good.
After a few years of operation, the Sky Garden had become a high-end place that many couples liked to go to the most.
When Bai Lu was sitting in the taxi, he was still thinking about why Liang Feifan asked him to go to the Sky Garden at this time.
However, he thought about it again. No matter what the reason was, he was going to that place most likely because of eating. He was just a little surprised that he would choose that place.
That serious man had actually moved him a lot.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly. Bai Lu reached out and held his chin. He looked at the scenery of the street outside the car window. The corners of his eyes and the tips of his eyebrows were full of happiness.
When they arrived at the destination, Bai Lu paid the taxi fare. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw that Guan Chao was already waiting at the door.
"Miss Bai."
Bai Lu was a little surprised. "Fan … Um, that, Mr. Liang, he …"
In front of Guan Chao, he called him "Fan Xian" the moment he opened his mouth. Bai Lu subconsciously fell silent. She used to be Guan Chao's colleagues. Although there were some things that they didn't say out loud, she still felt a little awkward. She intuitively changed the way she addressed him. "Mr. Liang asked me to come over."
Guan Chao and Bai Lu hadn't known each other for a long time, but he knew her very well. She was not like the women he had met in the past. They were either unruly and willful, or they were fearless.
She didn't talk much. Although she occasionally gave people the feeling that she was cold and distant, she also seemed to be somewhat approachable.
No wonder Mr. Liang cared so much about her.
"Miss Bai, Mr. Liang is already inside. You can go in directly."
Bai Lu nodded. She was about to go in when she suddenly thought of something. She couldn't help but ask Guan Chao, "… Um, Assistant Guan, is Mr. Liang inside talking about work?"
Otherwise, why would Guan Chao be waiting at the door?
"No, Mr. Liang is alone inside."
Guan Chao paused and smiled at her. That smile surprised Bai Lu, and his words made Bai Lu feel even more confused. "Miss Bai, congratulations."
…
Bai Lu frowned. She was just about to ask, "What are you congratulating me for?" Guan Chao nodded slightly at her and walked directly past her to the car.
