When the two finished eating and came out, lightning suddenly flashed, and thunder rumbled outside. It looked like heavy rain was about to pour.
"I'll send you back."
"Thank you. I'll take a taxi back." Mu Yao didn't want to sit in the same car as Lu Jinchen.
"You can't get a taxi here. Besides, didn't you want to talk to me? Why? You don't even dare to get in my car?" Lu Jinchen got into the car first.
Mu Yao hesitated for a while. Then, she opened the car door and got in.
But she was sitting in the back seat.
Lu Jinchen didn't say anything and started the car to leave.
In the car.
Mu Yao looked at Ku Jinchen's tense face and listened to the thunder outside. She organized her words in her heart.
Only then did she speak, "Mr. Lu, I apologize to you for what Su Jin did to Miss Bai that day. I hope you won't hold it against me and let Su Jin and her company off."
"Do you think I'm targeting Su Jin because she insulted Bai Qiushui?" Lu Jinchen's eyes were fixed in front of him as he spoke indifferently.
What else?
"It hasn't been easy for Su Jin to start her own business all these years. I hope you can be magnanimous and not stoop to her level. If... if you want an apology, I can apologize to Miss Bai in person!"
"Mu Yao..." Lu Jinchen suddenly stepped on the brakes and interrupted her.
It was pouring outside.
Lu Jinchen's last sentence was drowned in the sound of the rain.
What?
Mu Yao looked up subconsciously and met his deep, dark eyes. She quickly looked away and suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Would you believe me if I told you I did this to see you? It's been four years. Have you ever thought of me?" Lu Jinchen asked. His voice trembled slightly.
Mu Yao subconsciously shrank her body into the corner.
He did not drink at noon. Why did he keep talking drunk?
After thinking about it, he understood.
"I know. You want to see me make a fool of myself and make me beg you, don't you? You've done it. You've ruthlessly stepped on my dignity. You should be happy. After you're done being happy, please be magnanimous and let Su Jin off."
"I can let Su Jin off, but who will let me off?" Lu Jinchen asked in return, his eyes staring at her as if he was talking to himself.
Without waiting for her answer, he said softly, "Mu Yao, when did you ever let me go?"
"What did I do to you?" Mu Yao frowned. She felt like the two of them were talking on completely different channels.
"Come back to me, Yaoyao."
Finally, he was the first to speak.
What?
Mu Yao thought she had heard wrong.
The car honked from behind to urge him to drive. Lu Jinchen looked away and continued to drive forward.
Mu Yao went through his words in her mind.
He suddenly laughed.
"Lu Jinchen, are you out of your mind? Although I'm just an ordinary person, I have my dignity too. I'm not an object you can toss around."
Four years ago, he divorced her.
Four years later, he told her to come back to him.
Why?
"Or do you have the habit of having a mistress? You already have Bai Qiushui, but you want me to be with you. Lu Jinchen, aren't you going to be engaged to Bai Qiushui soon? Does she know that you're so disgusting?"
The more Mu Yao thought about it, the angrier she got. She pushed the door open.
"Stop the car. I want to get out."
She did not want to see this person at all.
"I will not get engaged to Bai Qiushui." Lu Jinchen didn't stop the car, nor did he open the door.
"What does it have to do with me whether you're engaged or not? You two are perfectly matched. I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years, have a bunch of kids..."
Mu Yao cursed at Lu Jinchen with all the rude words she could think of.
"Lin Zhan is coming back!"
Lu Jinchen suddenly said.
