C129 Love Has Gone to the Bone
The camera that made Qiao Yumeng feel extremely humiliated was destroyed by Lu Chen in the end. However, what happened that night still became a wound in Qiao Yumeng's heart that could never be healed.
Lu Chen and Qiao Yumeng did not mention this after the incident. The two of them were still going on dates as usual, working or working. It was just that they heard that the Lu's Group had suddenly collaborated with an unknown small company on a big project. Because of this, their cooperation with the Qiao's did not seem to be valued that much.
At night, Qiao Yumeng and Lu Chen went to eat as usual. After the meal, Qiao Yumeng suggested watching a movie. Lu Chen agreed.
When they were watching the movie, Qiao Yumeng took the initiative to hold Lu Chen's hand.
This was the first time she took the initiative to get close to Lu Chen. It was filled with endless struggle and fear.
Even when Lu Chen said that he did not care, he never mentioned that matter afterwards. But in this world, there was no man who would not mind his woman being seen by other men, right?
The moment Qiao Yumeng held Lu Chen, Lu Chen's hand froze. Very quickly, he held Qiao Yumeng's hand. His hand was very warm. However, under the dim light of the cinema, he could not see the expression on his face.
Qiao Yumeng did not know what the movie was about. All of her senses were on her hand. There had never been any hope. Suddenly, because of the temperature in Lu Chen's hand, it became obvious.
After the movie ended, Qiao Yumeng and Lu Chen walked home until the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Seeing that Lu Chen was unfastening his seatbelt, Qiao Yumeng could not help but speak. "Lu Chen, do you really not mind?"
"What?" Lu Chen was confused.
"It was that day..." When mentioning that day, not to mention Lu Chen, even Qiao Yumeng herself found it hard to talk about it.
"That day?" Lu Chen was silent for a moment and quickly reached out to grab Qiao Yumeng's shoulder. He asked her to look at him. "Those are all in the past. And you are also a victim." Lu Chen sighed after he finished. He looked upset. "Lei Laohu must have planned this. But with Lei Laohu's current strength, I want to help you vent your anger. It's not time yet."
"No... there's no need to vent your anger..." After Qiao Yumeng finished speaking, she felt apologetic for a long time in her heart. She could not help but say," That day, I made you lose face... "
"Face?" Lu Chen laughed. He did not care. "How much can face be worth?"
"But you are Lu Chen..." Lu Chen did not kneel down for her, but one knee. How different was it?
"Yes, I am Lu Chen. I have asked you to marry me." Lu Chen leaned over and pulled Qiao Yumeng into his arms. He reached out and gently stroked her back. "Don't worry about what happened that day. The camera has been destroyed by me. The events that happened that day will be flipped over. No one will know."
That young man and Jiang Yifeng had been killed by Lei Laohu. Cheng Nuo and Lu Chen would not tell anyone about what happened that day. Indeed, no one would know. But even if no one knew about it, it didn't mean that it had never happened.
Especially when Lu Chen said those words to her, the patience in his tone and the strength in his embrace unconsciously increased. It all showed that he was actually very concerned about her and that he was about to go crazy.
Because of this, Qiao Yumeng felt guilty like a child who did something wrong and explained in a low voice, "That man used Cheng Nuo to threaten me. I can't ignore Cheng Nuo. So I..."
"Don't say it." Lu Chen covered Qiao Yumeng's mouth with his hand. The expression on his face was especially gentle, but his tightly knitted brows still revealed the true emotions in his heart.
Qiao Yumeng looked at him, not knowing what to say. The emotions in her heart were extremely complicated.
Lu Chen was silent for a long time. He leaned close to Qiao Yumeng's forehead and planted a kiss, saying, "Yumeng, you know what? I don't care about those things. Compared to those messy things, I hope you can live well. Do you understand what I mean? "
Lu Chen's words were like a flower blooming in Qiao Yumeng's desolate heart. She nodded and took the initiative to approach and kiss Lu Chen's lips.
Lu Chen had waited for this kiss for a long time. It was not the right time, but he had waited in the end.
After the kiss ended, Qiao Yumeng's face was a little hot. She subconsciously wanted to escape, but soon, Lu Chen grabbed her wrist and she was thrown into Lu Chen's arms again.
Lu Chen used his slightly bruised chin to gently rub her forehead and said, "I know that you are very concerned about this matter in your heart, but in the end, you still blame me for this matter..."
"Why?" Qiao Yumeng looked up at Lu Chen. From the moment she saw Lei Laohu appear, Qiao Yumeng already knew that the kidnapping of Cheng Nuo and her was related to Qiao Yurou.
"Lei Laohu wanted to work with me before, but I didn't want to work with someone like him. Working with him is no different than dancing with a wolf. There could be problems at any time. The reason why he set up such a trap is because of me."
"No..." Qiao Yumeng shook her head gently and told him about how she saw Lei Laohu and Qiao Yurou together.
After listening, Lu Chen fell into silence. After a long time, he took out a cigarette and lit it. He said, "The matter is related to Qiao Yurou, so Fu Qianchen must be involved..."
When mentioning Fu Qianchen, both of their hearts were heavy. After a long while, Qiao Yumeng said, "I did not tell Tan Yue about it."1
"There was no need to tell him." Lu Chen gently touched Qiao Yumeng's cheek and said, "It was in the past. Let bygones be bygones. I have never cared about them." It was probably to comfort Qiao Yumeng, or perhaps Qiao Yumeng's kiss just now had touched Lu Chen. He suddenly moved close to Qiao Yumeng's ear and whispered, "I am to you. Love is in the bone."
With a bang, Qiao Yumeng's mind went blank.
To be honest, this was the first time she had been confessed like this.
In the chaos in her heart, Qiao Yumeng lowered her head and softly asked, "Have you never doubted what I was told?"
"No." Lu Chen answered very quickly. However, his urgency showed the concern in his heart.
His reaction made Qiao Yumeng's heart suddenly feel as if it was pricked by needles. However, she still had to pretend that she did not care and said in an almost ingratiating manner, "They did not touch me. They only took a few photos, probably because they were still afraid of you..."
Lu Chen looked at Qiao Yumeng like that. His Adam's apple rolled. He raised his hand and gently covered Qiao Yumeng's eyes.
He could not stand her looking at him like that. That look of hers would make him feel that he had committed a great crime.
