"Peace …"
Lu Yiyao opened his eyes and called out softly when he saw that it was her. His voice was lazy and low.
"Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"
"There are some things I need to take care of. I'm afraid I'll disturb you."
Lu Yiyao's long and slender hands reached out to her.
Lin Ange walked in and held his hand. His palm was as cool as water. At this moment, she could feel his exhaustion.
His heart ached and his red lips quivered.
"How could that be?"
Lu Yiyao used his strength and pulled her into his arms.
A kiss.
It felt good.
"What time did you come back last night?"
Retracting her lips, Lin Ange turned her head slightly and the two of them pressed their faces together.
"Very late …"
Lu Yiyao held her small hand and gently caressed it with his fingers.
Her hands were long and slender, just like green onions. Her fingernails were neatly trimmed and powdered, giving off a faint glow.
"Late?"
Lin Ange was taken aback. She lowered her head, feeling conflicted.
"Lu Hengyuan, he …"
Somehow, Lin Ange's heart became heavy when Lu Hengyuan was mentioned.
In the early days, they were engaged.
However, Lu Hengyuan 'betrayed' her in the middle of it and became entangled with Lin Ran, almost killing her.
She hated him. A very heavy hatred.
If he died, then so would this hatred.
Some people, some things, always have to learn to let go of, always have to learn to put down.
"He's already gone to the funeral home."
Lu Yiyao stopped what he was doing. His eyes darkened slightly as he said lightly.
"Oh."
Lin Ange replied and then stopped the topic.
"Go down and have a bite to eat, then return to your room to have a good night's sleep …"
She turned her head to look at the gloominess in his eyes and said with a pained heart.
"Alright."
Lu Yiyao didn't refuse. He helped her up and then stood up himself.
"I'll go down to see if Mengmeng has gotten up yet."
Lin Ange stood up, raised her chin and said softly.
"Alright, I'll come down after I wash up."
Lu Yiyao led her out of the study.
Lin Ange walked slowly downstairs and checked the kitchen first. Sister Zhou was already busy.
"Young mistress …"
"What's for breakfast?"
Lin Ange thought that Lu Yiyao didn't have much time to rest, so her breakfast should be lighter.
"Noodle soup, egg dumplings …"
Sister Zhou glanced at the arrangement table and said item by item.
"Sister Zhou, did you make the porridge?"
Lin Ange frowned and asked softly.
"Yes, young mistress …"
"Alright …"
Lin Ange nodded.
"Young Mistress, is there anything else you need to do?" Sister Zhou asked again.
"Light is fine."
Lin Ange didn't say anything else. Her tone was gentle.
"Alright, Young Mistress."
"You go ahead …"
"Alright."
Sister Zhou replied respectfully before she resumed her work.
Lin Ange didn't stay in the kitchen for long before she walked out. Arriving at the door to Gu Mengmeng's room, he knocked on the door.
"Mengmeng, are you up yet?"
Gu Mengmeng hadn't come out since they had met yesterday. She hadn't even had dinner.
Lin Ange was very worried, but she didn't force her way in. She just asked her to 'digest' the situation slowly.
Before Gong Nanling left, he sent her a message asking her to take good care of Gu Mengmeng. In fact, she would have done it even if he hadn't.
"Mengmeng …"
When no one answered, Lin Ange knocked again.
"Ge, ge …"
After a while, the door slowly opened. Gu Mengmeng, who was wearing a cartoon house uniform, stood at the door.
Her eyes were slightly red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.
"Mengmeng, wash up and prepare to eat breakfast …"
"Mm …"
The corner of Gu Mengmeng's mouth curved into a smile as she replied softly.
Lin Ange smiled at her and was about to turn around when Gu Mengmeng called out to her.
"Ge Ge, I want to go to work today?"
"Today?"
Lin Ange was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he smiled.
"Alright."
"Thank you Ge Ge, oh, no, chairman …"
Gu Mengmeng's eyes were curved, and even though her eyes were red and swollen, she looked much more relaxed than before.
"You …"
Lin Ange pursed her lips and glared at him, her lips curving into a perfect curve.
"I'm going to go wash up …"
Gu Mengmeng laughed.
"Go."
Lin Ange nodded. Seeing Gu Mengmeng like this, his uneasy heart relaxed quite a bit.
Sometimes, work was also a way to 'relieve the pressure' and 'vent' one's feelings.
If he was busy, he might be able to forget the pain in his heart.
Regardless of what happened to Gu Mengmeng and Gong Nanling, she still hoped that Gu Mengmeng would be happy.
A moment later.
Lu Yiyao went downstairs. Perhaps he was in no hurry to go out. He wasn't wearing a shirt or pants, but a casual outfit that matched Lin Ange's.
"Peace …"
Lin Ange was lying on the sofa, still in a daze. When she heard the call, she hurriedly raised her head and asked.
"Is Yanyan up?"
"Nope."
Lu Yiyao reached out his hand and pulled her up.
Just as the two of them reached the entrance of the hall, Gu Mengmeng walked over and greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning, Director Lu. Good morning, Ge …"
She was dressed professionally in a white blouse and a black fish-tail skirt. Her temperament was very different from yesterday.
"Morning."
Lu Yiyao replied politely.
"Mengmeng, you look so beautiful today."
Lin Ange blinked, her clear eyes brimming with light.
"Ge, ge …"
Since Lu Yiyao was present, Gu Mengmeng became embarrassed and her face was as red as a cherry. Behind his ears, a plum blossom spread out.
"Let's go eat breakfast."
Lin Ange smiled and gave her a tug.
After reading that Lu Yiyao needed to rest after eating, Gu Mengmeng also needed to go to work, so they didn't wait for Lin Yanyan to get up and ate together.
Halfway through the meal, Nanny Wang pulled Lin Yanyan downstairs.
"Good morning, Daddy, Mei Gege!" Elder Sister Mengmeng, good morning! "
Lin Yanyan, who wore a checked shirt and thin jeans, greeted them one by one.
"Yanyan, sit down …"
Lin Ange put down the spoon in her hand and waved at him as she pampered him.
"Alright …"
Lin Yanyan let go of Nanny Wang's hand, walked over with his short legs, and sat beside Lin Ange.
He took a look.
"Hmm? What about me, Big Cousin Brother? "
"He went to the center …"
Lin Ange replied as she filled the bowl with porridge.
"Oh …"
Lin Yanyan pursed his lips, revealing the dimples on both sides of his mouth.
Phew...
Gu Mengmeng's heart skipped a beat. The chopsticks in her hand loosened up and the noodles slipped back into the bowl. Two drops of soup splashed onto her white shirt.
"…"
Lin Ange felt uneasy, but she pretended not to see anything.
Gu Mengmeng looked embarrassed. She took a tissue and wiped her face. The soup stains were obvious to see. She ate hastily, got up and went to her room to change into a new light blue striped shirt.1
When they arrived at the restaurant again, Lin Ange and her family were still there.
Lu Yiyao had already put down his chopsticks and sat quietly. The sharp contours of his face softened.
"Ge Ge, I'm going to work."
"Alright."
Lin Ange raised her eyes and smiled lightly.
There was encouragement in the gentle smile.
Walking out was a new world.
