The night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was romantic, as cool as water.
Duan Xu stirred the coffee in his cup, his brown eyes inquisitively looking at the woman across from him, "Have you decided yet, when are you planning to go back?"
"I haven't decided yet," Huo Lan You said with a faint smile, lowering her head, her chestnut hair falling from her shoulders, covering half of her delicate jaw, adding a touch of mysterious charm.
"Yesterday I spoke with Ouyang Yu," Duan Xu said suddenly.
"What?" The spoon in her hand fell into the coffee cup, making a crisp sound, Huo Lan You was slightly stunned, "Why is he looking for me?" Because... of guilt?
Duan Xu's brown pupils flashed with deep surprise, "You are his fiancée, he has not forgotten to look for you over the years."
"Is that so, what did you tell him?" Huo Lan You asked nervously.
"He knows I'm here, so he asked me if that policewoman is really you?" Duan Xu took a sip of coffee.
"What did you say?" Leaning forward, Huo Lan You's heart was in her throat.
"I said I would help him investigate for now," Duan Xu said with a light smile: "But people from the Huo Lan family and Ouyang family will probably come here in person, they won't miss any opportunity to find you, will you run away?"
"No more running, I think it's time to go back, I might as well wait for them here, but I still want to thank you, Duan Xu," Huo Lan You stood up, looked at the thick night outside, "It's late, I have to go back."
"I'll take you," Duan Xu also stood up.
"No need, it's not far from here to my home, I can walk back by myself," Huo Lan You shook her head resolutely.
"Because you're worried someone will be jealous?" A trace of imperceptible gloom flashed through Duan Xu's smiling eyes, "Are you sure you want to be with him, are you sure he will be your happiness, with such an unidentified man?"
"Lian is very good to me, he is the most suitable person for me, I don't need to know his identity, I will bring him back to the Huo Lan family, then he will be mine alone," mentioning that name, Huo Lan You's eyes were filled with the brilliance that only lovers would have.
"Huo Lan You, you are really domineering," Duan Xu frowned.
"I hate sharing the person I love with others," Huo Lan You said goodbye to him, left the restaurant, and walked quickly towards home.
Looking at her leaving, Duan Xu's brown eyes were filled with an indescribable look, "Lian... Since you don't want to know, I will find out."
She opened the living room door with her key.
"Mommy, you're back," Xiao Xun ran out of the room, "Mommy, Xiao Xun is very hungry."
"Xiao Xun, haven't you eaten yet?" Huo Lan You looked around in surprise, "Your father hasn't come back yet?"
"No," Xiao Xun rubbed his stomach and shook his head.
"Sorry, I'll cook for you," Huo Lan You walked into the kitchen with a guilty face, secretly worried, usually he would be back by five o'clock, why hasn't he come back so late today, could something have happened?
