CHAPTER 101

After Luo Qingyu finished listening to his words, he wanted to stand in his own position and console him. For a moment, he felt like he was a white lotus, no matter how one put it, when the two of them were in a crisis, he would still have a very direct relationship. It was just as Mu Zexi had shown, sending him back to Luo Tingting's home was the fuse of events.

He felt extremely guilty.

In my opinion, Tingting wasn't afraid of you, it was because she cared too much about you that she was afraid of you being with other women.

Hearing that, Mu Zexi chose to remain silent, lowered his head and took a sip of the wine.

He admitted that Luo Tingting cared about him, and he didn't care too much about her at that time either. He was afraid that she would feel even the slightest bit wronged, but now, it had completely changed.

Seeing that Mu Zexi had not said a word, Luo Qingyu continued: You chose to evade and you are also not able to do it. You have mentioned everything about relationships, and the most important thing is to treat each other honestly.

Finally, he could no longer hold it in and replied, Be honest with me? I'm afraid I don't have the courage to be honest with you now. It's too tiring!

The person in front of him was dejected, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out.

Furthermore, from his sneer just now, Luo Qingyu had already understood his exhaustion at this very moment.

Of course, because relationships are two different people's business. Just learn to be accommodating!

Actually, when Luo Qingyu was saying all these, he was only relying on his experience while together with Lu Junhao.

He did not expect that the moment he said that, it would give Mu Zexi the time to ask about it.

His handsome almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, giving off a sense of alertness akin to a cheetah. It was as if his next question was something impossible to guard against.

Are you the same as Hao? Comfort!

Being suddenly asked, Luo Qingyu's eyes clearly flashed.

Alright, let's not talk about matters of the heart and just let them pass with the wind!

Her words were free and easy, but people could feel the evasion of her words and didn't want to give a positive response.

Other than Lu Junhao, she had too many feelings, and sometimes she couldn't even explain it himself. Just what kind of feelings were these?

Mu Zexi wanted to ask something else, but was cut off by Luo Qingyu.

If you ask me again, I'll get angry, and we won't have to drink and chat anymore. We won't need to be known by our partners and then get mad for no reason.

With that, she picked up the wine cup on the table and prepared to change seats.

Seeing that, Mu Zexi said: Alright, alright, you can sit down. I won't ask you!

Under his persuasion, Luo Qingyu sat back down. Afterwards, the two of them didn't ask each other anymore about their relationship, in case they attracted any more loathing from each other.

The two of them looked at each other and sat down. To those who didn't know what was going on, the two of them were a couple with a high beauty. However, only the two of them knew that it was impossible for the two of them to be together.

The lights in the gathering area suddenly dimmed, followed by warm lights, the alternating rays of light gave off a kind of perplexed and dreamy feeling, followed by a soothing music sound. In Luo Qingyu's opinion, this kind of situation was not suitable for dancing, but was more suitable for telling stories, recounting the feelings and grudges in his heart.

Her gaze was attracted by the dancing crowd, and seeing her skirt swaying rhythmically according to the tune of the song, the irritation in Luo Qingyu's heart calmed down a little.

She once again thought of Cheng Xiaowei and her daughter's complacent faces, simply too detestable.

Even though Mu Zexi, who was sitting opposite to him, was drinking, his line of sight was not attracted by the dancing crowd, but was focused on the subtle changes on Luo Qingyu's face.

He thought that since he didn't want to talk about love, he should at least talk about family matters. At least, it was better than always being stuck in the emotional whirlpool. To be honest, he didn't want to talk about Luo Tingting anymore.

Xiao Luo, are you used to being in Luo Family?

Hearing Mu Zexi's words, the surface of her heart abruptly shook, this was what he was thinking about just now. He didn't know when, but everyone around him seemed to have special abilities and was able to easily emphasize what they were thinking.

She smiled wryly and said, It's not bad, right?

She did not want to talk about the matters of the Luo Family. When she first came to the Luo Family, her father's love for her could be said to be extreme. However, right now, he always felt a sense of loss, making him feel very sad.

Such an ambiguous answer made Mu Zexi mumble in his heart, This is still okay, is it good, or not good? His heart began to sink into faint worry.

Are you really doing well?

These few words, were practically a single word coming out from Mu Zexi. Every single word contained an extremely deep emotion within them, deep enough to cause one to be moved.

Luo Qingyu felt the love and care coming from him, and instead of being able to control it, he started crying.

She was just like Mu Zexi, she was also very tired, and had to bear a depression that ordinary people could not imagine.

How could Mu Zexi tolerate the tears of the person in front of him, who was also a woman that he was interested in?

He raised his hand to wipe her tears. After a few tries, he finally stretched out his hand. When his hand touched her cheek, Luo Qingyu actually did not avoid it, which made his heart ache even more.

He did not know what Luo Qingyu had experienced. In short, he could tell that this woman did not live a good life in the Luo Family.

Don't cry for now. If you have anything you want to tell me, I'll help you share it!

Different from Lu Junhao's attitude, he said that he had entered the drama too deeply, and ridiculed and made fun of himself. On the other hand, Mu Zexi encouraged himself, and when he thought till now, his heart was even more upset.

The person you love is full of sarcasm, but the bystander can express his concern to you.

Is someone bullying you in Luo Family?

No!

He shook his head and calmed himself down before replying, Yesterday, my stepmother said that she had a child from my father.

Mu Zexi first made a shocked expression, then asked: And then?

My dad is very happy. After all, at such an age, this is a happy life for an old man.

Hearing that, Mu Zexi could not help but be confused: "Since it's a happy event in my life, then Uncle Luo should be very happy, and my entire family should be very happy as well.

If it was just a child in the family, then whatever. Now, in the eyes of the father, there are only stepmother and children, nothing would enter his eyes. As for me, not long after I got back, I was sent into the cold palace. I don't even know how long I could be the leader."

He understood all of what Luo Qingyu was saying. If his own mother were to add him with a younger brother and sister, he might be very happy. But what does a stepmother having a child mean? This meant that his position had been threatened.

I'm only guessing, but I keep having the feeling that my stepmother is in danger and that it's bad to be pregnant. It just had to happen that I was pregnant when I was officially announced to be the CEO of the Roche Group.

Once he said that, Mu Zexi hurriedly gestured for Luo Qingyu to be quiet a little. After all, they couldn't speak carelessly about this kind of thing.

Have you told Hao this before?

No!

Luo Qingyu replied.

Mu Zexi then continued, There are some things that you can only guess, but you must not put yourself in danger, because you will never be able to guess just how high the risk factor is.

You mean I have to bear with it.

As he said that, Luo Qingyu's mood was obviously high.

It's not for you to bear with it, but to take things step by step. Since you've already thought of this, it means that they've already begun to take precautions. If it's really okay, but if it's fake, then I'm afraid that your life in Luo Family will be even more difficult.

She spoke as if he had experienced it before, but Luo Qingyu knew that he didn't understand such things. As a young master who lived like a prince, how could he understand the knot in her heart?

Do you know how it feels to have your father taken from you? Also, do you know how it feels when others call your mother Xiao San?

As these words escaped his lips, he felt as if a huge rock that had been accumulating in his chest had dropped onto the ground.

Mu Zexi was stunned, but at the same time, he felt pain in his heart.

Without waiting for him to reply, Luo Qingyu then continued: You don't understand any of this because you have never experienced it before, and I do.

After she finished speaking, Mu Zexi thought that she would cry again, but he never expected her to be so calm.

Forget it, let's not talk about these things!

After saying that, she shook her head helplessly.

Unknown to him, Mu Zexi had already started to think differently. Who said that he didn't experience it, how could he not experience it?

When the people outside came, his life was very bright, and he had many beautiful luxury car s by his side. Perhaps this was a very luxurious life for an outsider, but only those who lived in such an environment would understand that it was truly unhappy.

If he compared his life to being surrounded by a city wall, then it was probably just the people outside who wanted to go in and the people inside who wanted to come out!

Xiao Luo, I have a story for you. I wonder if you want to hear it?

The question resonated through her earphones. How could she not want to hear it?

Perhaps when people are depressed, listening to others tell their own story is also a good way to relieve their own anxiety.

Speak!

His eyes were filled with the light of reminiscence, as he unconsciously looked into the distance, as if he could see his old age with a single glance.

Actually, your current situation is like what you said when I was young. It's just that you're too concerned about it, and in this matter, it's because you care too much about the Uncle Luo that you're so worried.

Luo Qingyu didn't know what Mu Zexi's childhood looked like, but from his earnest and earnest tone, he could tell that it must be very unusual.

I've long been indifferent towards what I've told you. Sometimes, when I think back on it more carefully, it doesn't seem like what happened to me anymore.

When he finished, he smiled wryly again.

For some unknown reason, Luo Qingyu unconsciously grabbed onto his hand, wanting to give him a good encouragement.

Feeling the pain coming from him, Luo Qingyu could not bear it anymore and kept feeling like she was uncovering his wounds.

If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I understand!

However, Mu Zexi was different. He wanted to say it out loud, and felt that it was necessary to say it out loud. It was time to pour out all the memories that were buried deep within his heart.

Backhandedly holding onto Luo Qingyu's hand, Don't worry, I'm fine!

The resolute light that flickered in his eyes made Luo Qingyu unable to ignore it, it was as if he was telling others about this matter and not wanting to speak of it.

After understanding what he meant, Luo Qingyu no longer hesitated, and only left him with a sentence, If you think it's okay, then say it, if it really isn't, then don't force yourself.

The two of them smiled at each other, as if they had already entered each other's hearts, waiting to share their thoughts during the exchange.

Sometimes, this feeling was also pretty good, making people forget their worries.

CHAPTER 102

It could be said that Mu Zexi was someone who didn't really know how to express his feelings. Although he was good at dealing with girls, he rarely spoke about their lives. To be exact, he didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to tell others.

Now, he felt that he had already mustered his courage, and this courage was given by Luo Qingyu.

Previously, he felt that the past was like a scar. This scar could not be opened again because it would bleed. Perhaps in the next second, he would suffocate to death.

All of this was because he had the same experience as Luo Qingyu.

By the dim light of the party's lights, the hurt on his face would not be easily seen. In fact, his eyes were already filled with tears.

However, he had covered it up extremely well and Luo Qingyu had not seen it at all.

He poured some red wine into his empty glass. The liquid from the red wine sparkled brilliantly in the crystal clear glass, causing people to feel that this scene was even more mysterious.

He cleared his throat, took a sip of wine and said, I still remember when I was young. I was just a teenager, but my mother was very sick …

He didn't know why Mu Zexi had stopped speaking, but he was puzzled. However, looking at his intentionally suppressed voice, he realized that it sounded like there was something in the past.

He listened quietly, watching his next move, wanting to know what would happen next.

Another round of drinking, as if that part of the story was difficult to talk about.

Just when Luo Qingyu thought that he would not continue, he said once again, "Back then, my mother was sick, but what about our family's old man?

After hearing all these, Luo Qingyu couldn't help but feel a bit sad. She didn't think that Mu Zexi would also have such an experience.

In her memories, Mu Zexi's father was a very good father. At least, he was kind, but she never thought that it would be such a kind person that had such a huge impact on her child.

It turned out that everyone had an unspeakable memory.

Luo Qingyu was also a victim, so he naturally knew how terrible Mu Zexi's mood was right now. Hence, he wrapped his arm around Yun Che's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

I thought that it would be enough to say this, but who would have thought that Mu Zexi would actually say this again: You don't have to comfort me, I've already gotten used to it since I was young, and these kinds of things really aren't much to me now.

As the words left his mouth, his face brimmed with a relieved smile. It was as if what he had just said was far from being related to him and belonged to someone else.

But only Luo Qingyu knew, that this was something only a person would say when they were disappointed, and did not hold any hope, maybe their heart was already dead, so how could they feel sad about this kind of thing!

Luo Qingyu did not plan to continue being his listener. She wanted to communicate, and only during the process, would people understand each other better and make new discoveries.

Then how did you manage to endure that period of time?

How did you get through it?

She repeated what she had said just now, but her tone was filled with pain and sadness.

Hearing that, Mu Zexi's eyes faced the crowd who were dancing not far away, and continued to reply: I did not intentionally suppress my emotions, and even though I had already remembered at that time, there are some things that I am still powerless to do. I just remember that my mother was always crying, and this was not the end. My mother was sick and needed surgery. The doctor asked for the family's signature, but no matter what, we couldn't contact our father."

Then what should we do in the end?

Seeing that he was still continuing to pursue the matter, a hard to describe expression flashed across Mu Zexi's face.

What else can my dad do? The women outside are, after all, flowers and grass. In the end, my mother was a woman who went through thick and thin with him. In the end, he still signed on her name.

After Luo Qingyu heard it, he was clear-headed and nodded continuously: That's good!

After all, Mu Zexi was not an easy man to deal with, even though he knew from his stepmother that his father had done many bad things to his mother in the past. However, she did not know, she still thought that he was living in the warm environment her mother tried to create, which made his feel even more ashamed of her mother's life at that time.

However, he had never heard his mother complain before. This probably meant that his mother never felt that everything she had done was worth it.

After thinking about his own matters, Luo Qingyu was still very concerned about Mu Zexi's mother's future development.

And after Auntie got out of the hospital?

My mother's physical pain has healed, but her mental pain is eternal. You'll never know how much it hurts a person's soul.

Hearing Mu Zexi's words, how could Luo Qingyu not understand this logic? How could she not know that such matters were irreparable to the mind?

Just like the first time he heard his stepmother talk about his mother, he knew that he had a lot of feelings about her.

Her face had become extremely solemn, and there was even a bit of sympathy. Perhaps she was sympathizing with Mu Zexi who said those words at this very moment, and to a large extent, she also felt that he was sympathizing with her.

She replied, I understand all that you've said. We're just sharing the same disease, that's all!

After he finished speaking, he raised the wine cup in front of him and gulped it down.

Drinking this goblet of wine was not only meant to dry the wine, but also to make the two of them feel depressed and depressed.

Because the two of them shared the secret of their childhood that was hidden in each other's hearts, their relationship unknowingly drew closer to each other.

Borrowing the power of alcohol, perhaps human consciousness would sometimes return to a state of being of the purest and most primitive nature. Luo Qingyu unknowingly moved closer to Mu Zexi, until the two of them sat together. They just treated each other as friends, drinking and chatting as if they were friends. All of this had already been seen clearly by the pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, and from time to time, this pair of eyes would even give off a spying light. However, the two of them were completely immersed in the alcohol, so they didn't know anything about it.

The atmosphere became more and more joyous during the banquet. On the surface, they looked elegant and wore gorgeous banquet costumes, but in reality, after drinking two more cups of wine, most of them had already started to have a kind of absent-minded feeling.

They began to talk and laugh, without the reserve they had felt at the beginning of the party.

This sentence, might be even more appropriate when used on Cheng Xiaowei who was not far away.

Before Luo Qingyu came, he did not notice Cheng Xiaowei's arrival, and it was the same with her.

But when everything returned to the time when the element of chance had become the important factor, then no one would find anything strange about these things, even if Luo Qingyu was seen at this moment of time, it was still possible.

The reason why Cheng Xiaowei came here, was because she wanted to have a good rest. Frankly speaking, it was because Xu Jisi had always been elusive, and no one knew what he was busy with. He always refused him on the phone. As a woman, how could she bear to be rejected repeatedly by a man she liked? Moreover, they didn't mention a single word about the agreement between them.

Although she hated Xu Jisi for hanging around the flowers and those women who didn't care, she hated him even more for his appearance. If she hadn't appeared, then everything wouldn't have happened right now.

The purpose of coming to the banquet was to hunt down beauties and to relieve himself of his boredom.

It was hard to believe that this was the usually quiet Cheng Xiaowei. She couldn't help but feel a little bored during the end of the song and walked towards the bathroom, stumbling along the way and actually hearing a few people whistle as they looked at her, but she wasn't the kind of person to be provoked, nor was it a good thing for anyone. She rolled her eyes at them and continued to walk forward.

When he walked to the bathroom's washstand, his stomach was in turmoil. Some of the alcohol in his body was also taken out, and his spirit was improved.

When he came out of the bathroom, he felt refreshed. He no longer felt muddle-headed and his steps became firmer.

The whole place was very dark, so if there was light in some places, if there was any intent, even the slightest light could be detected.

Perhaps it was due to him being clear-headed, Cheng Xiaowei had thought about it many times.

Most of it was related to Luo Qingyu. He had already blaming Luo Qingyu for everything that had happened, and the reason why all of this happened was due to jealousy.

When he thought about it, a trembling voice came out from his bag, after feeling it, he opened to see the person who sent him a message, Xu Jisi.

The message was all sweet words. He turned off his phone dejectedly and didn't want to look at it. After all, he wanted to come with him, but he made up all sorts of excuses.

This time, he would definitely not forgive Xu Jisi so easily.

Sometimes, people just like to compare with others, and Luo Qingyu had already become an indispensable reference in her mind, he would always subconsciously want to compare with Luo Qingyu.

Unavoidably, he thought of his first target, Lu Junhao. In the beginning, he had chased after his arduously, but the result was that he was rejected. He still continued to like Luo Qingyu who didn't like him.

She was still able to have a very deep relationship with Luo Qingyu now, which made her extremely jealous. She even thought about it the same way.

As she walked, her phoenix eyes were filled with the complex emotions of jealousy and hatred, causing people to feel fear at first glance.

Inadvertently, when Cheng Xiaowei glanced back, she saw a little bit of light. Her curiosity drove her forward, and right now, she was also in an extremely bored state.

Following the light, she moved forward, but she kept feeling that the people in the darkness were lurking, as if they were spying on something.

She wanted to see everything in front of her, but she was afraid of being discovered. Subconsciously, she began to hold her breath and concentrate, afraid that she would affect the people in front of her.

When she was near, she could clearly see that the person who was acting so sneakily was holding onto a camera, and the person he was filming was actually Luo Qingyu and Mu Zexi who were not far away.

At that moment, the two people who were being filmed were snuggled together, but judging from their actions, it was obvious that they were drunk. However, Cheng Xiaowei did not care if they were drunk or not, she only cared about the photos taken by the cameramen.

He couldn't help but feel a little ecstasy in his heart, and the joy on his face was clearly shown.

To Cheng Xiaowei, this scene was a gift from the heavens.

With light steps, she arrived beside the cameraman who was checking out the photographic effects. The alcohol in her body was completely dispersed in this second, and she couldn't become smarter than she already was.

She quietly squatted next to the cameraman. Maybe he felt that the place she took her photos was extremely secretive and would not be noticed by others, thus, she was careless. Even when Cheng Xiaowei squatted, he did not notice it.

CHAPTER 103

Cheng Xiaowei watched calmly as the cameraman checked the film. Seeing that he had already finished looking at it and did not notice him, Cheng Xiaowei coughed lightly on purpose.

The cameraman, who was ready to take photos, was shocked by the sudden cough. Maybe it was due to her job instinct, she wanted to escape quickly, but Cheng Xiaowei had already prepared herself well, grabbing the cameraman bag on his body with one hand.

The cameraman had no choice but to stay where he was. With just a single sentence, he had made the cameraman's already worried mood become even more uneasy.

If you chase me away, I'll yell!

He thought, she is a woman, and is also a woman that appeared in such a famous person's banquet, she must be rich or noble, he is just a small journalist, to put it bluntly, he is their Doggy, he cannot take risks for his career.

Helplessly returning to the distance, he said, Can you let go of my bag and strangle my neck?

If the light was better, one could see that his face had turned red.

But Cheng Xiaowei would not care about all these, she was only concerned with the photos on the reporter's camera.

If I let you go, you can't run?

Upon hearing this, the reporter replied, I definitely won't run!

Cheng Xiaowei seemed to have already seen the words of the reporters before and could not believe them, but she still refused to let go, Then what if you run away?

You can just shout out loud, right? I believe that no matter how fast I run, I won't be able to evade the security here!

Hearing his words, Cheng Xiaowei felt at ease.

After releasing him, it was true that he did not run away. At the same time, he did something more meaningful than running away. He gasped for breath and breathed in the oxygen.

This was the first time he met a woman like Cheng Xiaowei.

Actually, the reason why he couldn't run was not entirely because of Cheng Xiaowei. More importantly, he was worried that the two people he had filmed would notice him running away. As a result, all of his previous efforts would have been wasted.

Seeing that the reporter had gradually returned to normal, Cheng Xiaowei's face became gloomy, Why are you taking these pictures?

Hearing this question, the reporter couldn't help but look around with vigilance on his face.

Cheng Xiaowei could read his thoughts, but before he could reply, Cheng Xiaowei said again, If you feel that there's anything inconvenient, we can change to another place!

The reporter obviously agreed with her suggestion and nodded. The two stealthily moved from this secret location to a rest area on the other side.

The resting area here was extremely quiet, so it was not suitable for people who wanted to have fun. And as a person who frequently lived in this social circle, Cheng Xiaowei had long understood the inner thoughts of these people, and this was also the reason why she dared to choose here.

The two of them sat down. At this moment, they could clearly see each other's appearances.

Seeing that the reporter did not speak, she quickly asked, You still haven't answered my question?

The reporter did not hurry to answer her question, but said, I'm just an ordinary reporter. There are some questions that you should know. As a reporter, we can't speak carelessly about them. These are confidential secrets that belong to our clients.

Knowing that he had no intention of telling him this, he suddenly had an idea.

Aren't you afraid that I would inform Luo Qingyu and the others about this?

He used an inquisitive tone, and then his eyes flashed with a threatening light as well.

However, just like how society viewed these reporters, as they were Doggy, they were not afraid of these threats at all.

You can just tell them that I am only the person who has the money. Once it's done, you can just hand over the photo and hand it over to them. Also, I am protected by the law, so it is not a big deal to steal someone's privacy.

The reporter spoke clearly, Cheng Xiaowei clearly felt that no matter how she tried to intimidate her, it would not work.

He leaned against the back of the sofa, crossed his arms over his chest, and said in a very serious tone, What if I buy your photos at a high price?

After she finished speaking, Cheng Xiaowei calmly looked at the person seated opposite him.

It could be said that there were countless emotional changes on his face in an instant. Facing such a change, Cheng Xiaowei was extremely pleased with herself, because she knew that her suggestion was exactly what she wanted.

Time passed by as they were deep in each other's thoughts. The reporter sitting opposite of them suddenly raised his head and looked at each other. They could see the determination in his eyes. They knew that this had already happened.

I'll promise you, but the price has to be set by me!

It's a deal!

She readily agreed to the reporter's suggestion, but the reporter did not give the picture to her easily.

One hand for money, one hand for photos!

The reporter resolutely voiced out his thoughts. Just like how Cheng Xiaowei was afraid that she would escape, he was also afraid that she would give the photo to this woman.

Seeing that, Cheng Xiaowei said firmly, Don't worry!

But when she finished, she made her own small request. While I satisfy you, you also have to make sure that the photo I have is a negative. You don't have anything left.

The reason why Cheng Xiaowei wanted the negative was because she wanted the proof. However, if these photos were not proof that she had obtained, it would be detrimental to her future plans.

The reporter saw that she was worried and replied, I'll guarantee the original. I promise you in my capacity as a reporter.

In the end, Cheng Xiaowei made him name a price, she never thought that it would be such a sky-high price. However, it seemed that the money was worth it.

The two of them made an appointment at the trade location. This time Cheng Xiaowei was no longer afraid that this person would escape, and instead chose to believe in him. Because she knew that no one else would spend as much on photographs as she did.

After the surprise, she was even more curious about who sent people to secretly take photos.

She was very happy, because there was finally someone who hated Luo Qingyu as much as she did, and she supported those who shared the same interests as her.

While he was discussing this with the reporters, he did not forget to let them continue to follow him in order to obtain more photos that would be useful to him.

Luo Qingyu and Mu Zexi were still in the dream of wine, Come, let's have another drink!

Unknowingly, they had drunk countless mouthfuls of wine. All they knew was that they wanted to spit out all the depression in their hearts quickly.

With the end of the song and the end of the banquet, Luo Qingyu no longer had a root under his feet. When he walked, he had already started to float.

Mu Zexi was a man after all, and his capacity for alcohol was still considerable.

Although she was drunk, but she still shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Luo Qingyu.

Ignoring the looks of the crowd, he supported Luo Qingyu and left. He knew that the two of them could no longer drive, but at least he had a foresight of them.

After getting on the car, Luo Qingyu was still immersed in the alcohol, Mu Zexi, come, let's drink again!

The driver was an aged man, seeing the drunk lady trying to lean on Mu Zexi, he asked: Young Master, where are we going?

Mu Zexi looked at the alcohol reeking man beside him and said: Triumph Garden!

He looked at him in the mirror and tried to say something, but no words came out.

The driver, as the person who accompanied Mu Zexi since he was young, could also be considered an elder. He really wanted to return home and properly get along with his father. However, no matter how much one talked, he was still just a driver. Some things were beyond his control.

Seeing helplessness flash past the driver's eyes, Mu Zexi did not say anything, because sometimes being silent was the best words.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at Luo Qingyu who was leaning on his shoulder and sleeping soundly. Although she occasionally spoke a few words that people couldn't hear, the feeling he gave others was one that made them want to pity his.

His thoughts were in chaos again, he did not know why he was so drunk just now, maybe it was to cooperate with Luo Qingyu, or maybe he did not want to get drunk, for fear of exposing his weakest point and affecting his image in her heart.

The car was moving steadily along the road, so that the car behind them didn't notice it.

As they reached their destination, the driver helped Mu Zexi open the car door.

As for the driver, he carried Luo Qingyu who was already fast asleep and got off the car. A look of worry flashed across his face as he said, Are you really not planning to go home and visit your father?

He was startled and replied: Please go back first. Slow down!

Once again, he chose to evade.

The driver shook his head as he watched him leave, thinking that this father and son pair really loved and tortured each other.

Mu Zexi did not turn back as he knocked on the door.

At the sound of the engine behind him, he told the servant to shut the door.

It was just like what Luo Qingyu had said when they were chatting. Towards his own father, Mu Zexi really did not know how to react. Even though his father had admitted to his mistake in front of him time and time again. But he believed that his father should be punished, that he should have a conscience to blame. After all, his mother had died because of this matter.

Carrying Luo Qingyu up the stairs, Mu Zexi did not hide anything and directly carried her to his bedroom.

This time was different from Luo Tingting's apartment, he did not avoid it at all. She clearly knew that what she had done was wrong, but she still chose to follow her own heart.

It could be said that he had taken care of Luo Qingyu for an entire night. Even the servants in this house felt that it was strange and were curious about the relationship between the two of them.

In the past, he had also brought women with him, but he never let them stay in the main bedroom, including his real girlfriend, Luo Tingting.

After tidying everything up, Mu Zexi laid beside Luo Qingyu. He had originally wanted to go to the guest room to sleep, but maybe he was too engrossed in watching his sleep that he unconsciously raised his hand to caress her cheeks and felt her warmth.

However, Mu Zexi knew very well that he definitely could not let his imagination run wild. The person who was sleeping in front of him was his good brother's girlfriend, and also his girlfriend's best friend. He absolutely could not let his imagination run wild, not even by a hair's breadth.

Just as he was at a loss within his heart, Luo Qingyu suddenly said those words in his sleep once again. As he said those words in his sleep, he subconsciously grabbed onto Mu Zexi's hand that was on her cheek.

He did not have the time to dodge, and was grabbed tightly by her, listening to her sleep talk, Lu Junhao you bastard, I hate you!

He continued to say a few more words, and his grip on his hands became tighter and tighter, to the point that even if Mu Zexi wanted to struggle free, he couldn't.

Mu Zexi was still reflecting on her words just now. He didn't know what conflict had arisen between the two of them, but he definitely wouldn't allow the person in front of him to suffer any grievances.

If she really felt that there was no need for them to be together, she would be her knight, even if she had to suffer the accusations of others.

Unknowingly, Mu Zexi began to fall asleep as well. He was in the same position being held tightly by Luo Qingyu.

CHAPTER 104

Luo Qingyu was completely unaware of his actions of tightly grabbing onto Mu Zexi. In his subconscious, she had treated these two hands as Lu Junhao's hands.

Although she had slept well, she felt as if she had been crying all night. All sorts of reasons intertwined together made her feel as if she couldn't bear the weight anymore.

However, on the surface, he still had to maintain an optimistic mental state. However, deep down in his heart, he was crying like a raging ocean, his heart was broken to the extreme.

However, she had chosen to do all of this.

Initially, she thought that after everything was over, she could easily leave, without a trace of reluctance to stay, why did she choose to fall in love with Lu Junhao, and silently increase the burden on her.

She now knew that she had already made her choice, but she still felt that it didn't fit in very well with what she had thought. She felt that it wasn't all that simple.

When morning arrived, Luo Qingyu felt pain in his head and shoulders. Originally, she had slept on his side for an entire night and during that time he had tightly held Mu Zexi's hand.

Luo Qingyu opened his drowsy eyes and looked at the face in front of him that was gradually growing larger. His pupils also grew larger as his thoughts became extremely clear in an instant, as if he had received an electric shock of ten thousand volts, and quickly withdrew his hands.

Instead of tightly holding Mu Zexi's hand, he subconsciously looked at her clothes. It was a new set of pajamas, causing her to exclaim loudly. His voice resonated throughout the entire room and even the busy aunt downstairs heard his scream.

Of course, Mu Zexi, who was sleeping at the side, was also awakened.

He knew why Luo Qingyu had such a strong reaction, and said with a calm expression: Don't worry, nothing happened to us!

Hearing his words, Luo Qingyu's face immediately turned red.

However, he still asked loudly, Why am I here? And why are you in my bed?

Mu Zexi knew that if he did not explain it to her, he would probably be attacked badly.

You forgot we were drinking together yesterday, and then you got drunk and couldn't drive, so I had the driver take you to my house.

It was him who had previously delivered him to Luo Tingting's family. He was very grateful for what had done, but he never thought that it would bring about such an emotional crisis for him and Luo Tingting. He was very sorry about this.

These things were not the main point. What she wanted to know the most was, why was Mu Zexi sleeping together with her?

Seeing that she was quiet for a long time, Mu Zexi then continued to speak, As for why I was on this bed, I wanted to leave last night, but you kept pulling me along and even talked in your sleep, so I unknowingly fell asleep, and that's it. Furthermore, your clothes were not changed by me at all, they were changed by my auntie here!

After hearing what he had to say, Luo Qingyu did not want to ask him any further and when he finished speaking, he could not help but exclaim at Mu Zexi's amusement.

Forget it, let's pretend that this never happened. Don't mention it to anyone!

Mu Zexi looked at her serious face and made an 'ok' gesture.

However, Luo Qingyu did not plan to let him go so easily. He had heard a bit of what he had said just now, What did you say that I said in my sleep?

I didn't hear anything!

Mu Zexi explained again and again, afraid that he would anger her again.

Seeing that, Luo Qingyu made a very cute expression, I will believe you temporarily, but don't lie to me!

Absolutely not!

Receiving the definite answer, Luo Qingyu left his bed with his fastest speed, wanting to get rid of all these things. She simply could not imagine what would happen if Lu Junhao knew about this.

The last time she had received a painful lesson, it was because of the emotional crisis between Mu Zexi and her. This time, she did not want to cause a gap between Mu Zexi and herself. After all, they were good brothers and their friendship was very heavy.

This was the first time he had lied to Luo Qingyu. It was not that he did not want this woman to know, but it was because of the relationship between Hao and her that it was inconvenient for him to get involved. If she wasn't careful, she might really be pushed deeper into the water, because she knew Hao's personality very well.

Lu Junhao would never give in to someone he liked.

Perhaps, in the conversation earlier, Lu Junhao did not express his feelings clearly, but Mu Zexi knew that Hao had already fallen in love with Luo Qingyu, and it was the kind of love that was very, very deep. Deep down, it was easy for people to show their lost side. Hao had already fallen into a state of confusion.

In actuality, Luo Qingyu no longer blindly avoided him. He had a nagging feeling that being with Mu Zexi wasn't really that bad of a feeling, and that this kind of person was worth being friends with.

After changing into his suit from yesterday, he had thought that he would need Mu Zexi to bring him back, because he had parked his car at the banquet area yesterday. However, he had already affectionately sent people to drive his car here.

Before leaving, Luo Qingyu repeatedly reminded Mu Zexi not to stay at his house for the night. Furthermore, the two of them slept in the same bed together, and the only fear that they would affect his relationship with Luo Tingting was that he wouldn't think too much about it.

Mu Zexi promised her, and told her, You don't have to be so worried, and if you do, we will clear ourselves off, you do not need to worry at all!

It was true, but if this matter were to spread, it would give others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It's best to be careful!

Luo Qingyu left behind this sentence, and then bid farewell to him.

The reason why she said that was because in Luo Qingyu's heart, even if the two of them were to explain themselves, a person's imagination was limitless, and a person's words were fearsome. However, she only wanted to leave without causing any bloodshed.

She thought so, but there was always someone who thought otherwise and wanted to destroy her completely.

At the same time he drove, he turned on the phone and looked at the time on the screen. With just a glance, he could hear the buzzing of text messages coming from the phone. They were all from last night.

Other than the missed calls from his father, there were also a few text messages from Lu Junhao.

If it was before, when these two men who were the most important in her life had sent her messages, she would definitely return as quickly as possible, afraid that they would worry. But now, all she wanted was to be herself.

As she was returning home, in a small restaurant in the city, a young woman dressed in plain clothes seemed to be waiting for someone.

Not long later, he saw a man in black clothes pushing open the door of the restaurant. He didn't forget to look around when he opened the door. It turned out to be the reporter from last night.

After entering the door, he searched everywhere and locked onto his target as fast as he could.

Cheng Xiaowei had already waved at him.

She directly placed an unremarkable bag on the table, and also patted the bag with her hand. It was as if she was saying, Everything you want is inside. The reporter's eyes were filled with desire as he took out a small envelope from his briefcase. The envelope was very thin, and there was only one plate inside.

The film you wanted is all in there. I didn't leave anything behind!

Just in case, Cheng Xiaowei continued to ask: How are you going to explain this to the person who told you?

The reporter laughed and said, There is no substantive contract between us. Besides, he definitely hired more than me for this matter. If I don't give him anything, it will mean that I did not complete the mission. You don't have to worry about that!

Cheng Xiaowei nodded, and did not continue thinking about it.

After getting what she wanted, Cheng Xiaowei finally signed a written agreement with the reporter to prevent the reporter from changing his mind again.

The reason why she was so careful had something to do with her mother. She understood one thing from her mother: if a woman wanted to be ruthless, then she had to be ruthless and not drag things out.

Her eyes flickered with a ruthless light. Because she thought about how Luo Qingyu was going to marry Lu Junhao in a short time, how was it possible for her to marry Lu Junhao? Most importantly, why was he able to have such a happy time with another man when he was marrying Lu Junhao? She was very jealous of this sort of thing.

Sometimes, the reason for the estrangement between people was mostly because of the word 'jealousy'.

She lightly tapped her fingers on the envelope and cursed at Luo Qingyu for a second, Just you wait, I won't let you see anything.

Luo Qingyu's car had just drove into Luo Family's house, and she had already sneezed twice.

He felt that someone was talking about him behind his back, but he didn't think about the fact that he was being followed and had already been photographed.

After getting off the car, she walked into the living room and saw her father sitting there worriedly.

Xiao Luo, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't Dad pick up the phone even when I called you?

Luo Qingyu replied tiredly: I gathered with a friend yesterday, so if I'm late, I'll have a rest outside for the night!

Luofu was more or less disappointed when he heard his daughter's answer.

Xiao Luo, don't you forget how you promised father back then? Let's go upstairs, the company still has matters for you to take care of!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingyu had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Of course she understood the meaning behind her father's words. Back then, when she was the CEO of Roche Group, she made a solemn promise saying that everything would be done according to the Roche Group.

He did not understand the meaning behind his father's words. Perhaps his father felt that he would have a successor. As for him, he would probably be even more harsh on him.

The feeling of loss in his heart was extremely intense.

Then I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first!

He had only taken two steps when his father's voice sounded once again, Xiao Luo, you're about to get married to Jing Hao. In the future, you don't have to spend too much time sleeping outside in order to avoid rumors and gossip.

I got it, Dad!

After saying that, Luo Qingyu returned to his room at the fastest speed possible. She was afraid that if his speed slowed down even a bit, the tears in his eyes would uncontrollably flow.

He remembered that in the past, his father would never restrain him with these things. The only thing he would tell him was to be careful and say something about how unsafe it was outside, especially when talking about girls. And now? He couldn't help but sneer.

The father was too obvious about his change, and the stepmother had only given him a child. If the child was a boy, she would be in an even worse situation in the future.

Maybe Lu Junhao was right, Luo Family's daughter Luo Qingyu was already dead, there was no need for him to be so involved in the drama. The most important thing was to find the evidence and leave.

After calming his flustered heart, Luo Qingyu changed into a job suit and tied up his hair.

CHAPTER 105

He looked at himself in the mirror. Other than his swollen eyes from the night before due to the hangover, everything else was perfect.

When he came downstairs again, he wanted to say hello to his father, but his father was no longer in the living room.

However, she could clearly hear the laughter coming from her father's bedroom. No wonder people always said that there was an old son to the good fortune of being born!

Her stepmother's laughter mingled with her father's, making her seem like an outsider. A cold smile appeared on his face.

Ever since Luo Qingyu had become the CEO of the Roche Group, his father had already appeared in the company easily, because he felt that he himself had reached the age where he should retire. However, he had never expected that he would become an old man, and what made him even more surprised was that this was only the beginning of all the schemes.

Trouble always comes one after another, that is to say, when one is in trouble, even drinking cold water will fill the gaps between one's teeth.

Inside the Lu Group, in an office that was filled with a feeling of modern technology, Lu Junhao sat at a huge desk and listened to the reports of the people in front of him. As the people in front of him continued to talk, his complexion became more and more unsightly, to the extent that the word green could be used to describe him.

Mr Lu, I have been able to find out about these details!

The reporter looked at Lu Junhao and became anxious, wanting to end this as soon as possible.

Without waiting for his reply, he waved his hand, and the messenger immediately fled. His handsome eyebrows were scrunched into a square, and the piece of paper in his hand had long since been twisted into a disfigured state.

Lu Junhao muttered, Why did it have to be him, why?

He asked continuously, unable to conceal the disappointment in his heart.

It turned out that Lu Junhao had never stopped monitoring Luo Qingyu. It was not because he didn't believe in her, but it was precisely because he trusted her too much that he would tolerate her every move and everything she did.

When his subordinate reported to him earlier, it was also an unintentional act. In the end, he found out that Luo Qingyu and Mu Zexi had been very close recently. One was his best friend, the other was his woman. If any normal man were to take this matter to heart, he would definitely be angry.

He couldn't help but recall the matter of him sending a message to Luo Qingyu last night. No wonder she didn't reply to him, there was already someone who took care of her, so why would they think of him?

Lu Junhao felt that his head had already turned into a lush green grassland, he was frantically envious.

Just as he was wondering where to vent his anger, the office door was knocked.

Hearing the knock on the door, he coldly said, Come in!

This was actually the first time the secretary outside had heard Lu Junhao's cold voice. A single moment's carelessness would cause someone to freeze over, as she shakily pushed open the door and said in a low voice: Master Lu, someone is looking for you outside!

Who?

Another cold and fierce gaze flew over, the little secretary used all her strength to strengthen her heart, and looked straight at Lu Junhao, Cheng Xiaowei!

After hearing this name, Lu Junhao was very curious. He did not know why this woman had come to find him, because this was her first time coming to the Lu Group.

The little secretary quietly left, thinking, this Cheng Xiaowei really did not come at the right time, what could she do if she did not hit the nail on the head right now, all she could do was pray for herself.

However, this was really the first time he had seen the CEO so angry. Just thinking about it made him scared.

Looking at Cheng Xiaowei's figure who was pushing the door open and entering, the little secretary made a gesture of Hallelujah, hoping that there was nothing wrong.

In the office, Cheng Xiaowei was immediately attracted by the prince's aura that was being emitted from Lu Junhao's body. She was cold like an iceberg in the first place, but now that she was in the office, she looked extremely noble and noble.

After entering, seeing that Lu Junhao was so slow to not speak, he couldn't help but feel a bit scared.

Cheng Xiaowei was also very observant, and could feel that he was in a very bad mood right now.

He held his bag tightly, knowing that he had something that would interest him, so he didn't panic.

Why are you looking for me?

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Junhao asked.

In response to the inquiry that came from her, Cheng Xiaowei did not rush to say that she wanted to show Lu Junhao the photo. Instead, she said: I came to find you because I want to discuss a deal!

After he finished speaking, his face was brimming with a confident smile.

Lu Junhao felt that this was very interesting, because this was the first time someone dared to talk about trading with him in front of him.

What confidence do you have that I will agree to your request?

If it's anything else, I might not have any confidence, but for this matter, I think you'll be happy to promise me!

Oh! Hearing this, he exclaimed in surprise.

Because her words had already aroused Lu Junhao's curiosity, the rage she was feeling just now was lessened by the slightest amount. However, he still couldn't make the jealousy in his heart subside even a little.

He indicated for Cheng Xiaowei to continue with her own words. He wanted to see what this woman would say that would shock him.

This was the first time she looked at this man from such a short distance. In the past, even though she had gotten a chance to get in close contact with him, she had never gotten into close contact with him like this.

Lu Junhao was truly very handsome, no wonder there were women who were willing to pounce on him, even if there was nothing in return.

However, this also made her even more jealous, jealous that Luo Qingyu was able to easily obtain all of this.

He placed his bag on Lu Junhao's desk, then took out a document bag and handed it over to him.

The moment he took the folder, to be honest, Lu Junhao did not expect that the photo inside it was actually a photo.

When he took out the photos one by one and saw that the people in the photos were exactly the two people he had thought of just now, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Looking at these pictures, the volcano in his heart is now on the verge of erupting. However, there was no change in his expression.

To be honest, the actions of the men and women in these photos already exceeded the relationship between normal friends. The two of them snuggled together intimately, and the smiles on their faces were extremely harmonious. To put it bluntly, the two of them were ready to kiss.

But the truth was that the two of them were already drunk, but after a period of processing, they looked like two people flirting.

Cheng Xiaowei carefully watched Lu Junhao's expression, thinking that he would have a furious reaction, but he never expected that he was as calm as water, making others not know what he was thinking.

Lu Junhao threw all the photos onto the table, and looked at the surprised Cheng Xiaowei.

You didn't come looking for me because of these photos, right?

Hearing his question, Cheng Xiaowei did not know what to say, Of course not only these photos.

Then what are your intentions?

Lu Junhao pressed on.

Since Cheng Xiaowei had come here, she had never thought of hiding her inner thoughts, so she replied: It's simple, as long as you agree to support me as the CEO of Roche Group, I guarantee that these photos will not leak out!

She
