Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Mingyu rarely showed such a serious and intense expression. At this moment, his smile in the dark night was more dazzling and radiant than under the scorching sun.
Pei Yiwu suddenly realized that vitality was not just the difference between great works and excellent works, but also the distinction between exceptional
creators.
Unprecedentedly, her heart, without her realizing it, had been pried open.
Lu Mingyu stretched his legs, clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back, and exuded an arrogant demeanor. “The impact brought by music is immense.”
The wind tousled his soft short hair, and in the next second, a creaking sound was heard. Lu Mingyu staggered, nearly tumbling off the chair. He propped himself up on the armrest of the chair and grinned foolishly, “Nature is too enthusiastic. It almost sent me off.” Lu Yang was at a loss of words.
Just a minute of seriousness.
After finishing her meal, Pei Yiwu excused herself and went to the restroom. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Lu Mingyu in the corridor.
He didn’t beat around the bush, lowered his gaze, looked at her, and asked directly, “Any news? I asked you last time to help me investigate something.”
Pei Yiwu was taken aback, recalling that she had promised to help him find out why Lu Yang was skilled in self-defense.
Recently, she had been distracted by the system and had forgotten to mention it to him.
“No one is bullying Lu Yang. She was afraid that you might be bullied, so she especially learned some self-defense techniques,” Pei Yiwu said.
Lu Mingyu obviously didn’t believe it. “Is that all?”
Pei Yiwu replied, “Yes. What else did you expect?”
Lu Mingyu lowered his gaze and fell silent.
Pei Yiwu continued, “Don’t worry, no one dares to bully Lu Yang, and no one can bully her. If you’re concerned about her, just treat her well.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that,” Lu Mingyu said arrogantly, “I will naturally treat Yangyang well.”
Pei Yiwu and Lu Mingyu were both pleased. “That’s good, then.”
However, a faint crease appeared on Lu Mingyu’s forehead.
Although he said so, he still worried about his sister. Pei Yiwu figured she didn’t ask anything useful, and he would have to carefully investigate who, besides Jin Yao, was audacious enough to dare bully Lu Yang.
Pei Yiwu’s words flowed incessantly, “As the old saying goes, if there’s something she doesn’t want you to know, you don’t need to know. If she wants you to know, she will naturally tell you.”
Lu Mingyu glanced at her and lightly said, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. I won’t say anymore.”
Pei Yiwu was left dumbfounded, staring at his departing figure, her thoughts abruptly coming to a halt.
Why is it this phrase again!!
If a boyfriend said this to his girlfriend, they would have broken up long ago.
…Wait.
What is she imagining?
Lu Mingyu reserved the entire Western restaurant, so there weren’t many waiters around. It was quiet, with soothing music playing in the background, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The sound of wind whistling over water echoed in her ears.
Her phone, placed on the table, blinked twice.
Lu Yang calmly lifted her eyelids and leisurely picked up her phone. She unlocked it and glanced at the message from Jiang Yanzhou.
He asked her, “Have you finished dinner?”
Lu Yang fluttered her long lashes, recalling his words from a few hours ago.
“Let me be your male model.”
Jiang Yanzhou exuded a thin layer of mystery and distance, yet his voice had a captivating low and sexy tone.
Though Lu Yang wasn’t one to speak sweet nothings, she wasn’t foolish. How could she not understand his implied meaning?
She understood, but she still felt a pang of jealousy.
She deeply understood the implications of Jiang Yanzhou’s teasing, sweet nothings, and intimate gestures. But each time, she deliberately changed the subject.
She understood the love letters he wrote for her, the meaningful conversations he had, the affectionate actions he took… She understood them all.
Including that night when he delivered a love letter to her. She could tell he urgently needed her response, so she reassured him— Since he cared about her, she would reciprocate.
Lu Yang turned her head and gazed at the sails on the river. Her eyes drifted off for a moment, then she returned her focus and quickly replied to the message.
As soon as she hit send, Ye Cixing called her.
“Just tell me if my money was well spent!”
Ye Cixing always started her conversations in an unpredictable manner, leaving Lu Yang confused. “What?”
“It’s about warding off disaster! Didn’t I tell you last time that I spent money to have a master help you ward off disaster? At a 12% discount! 12%!” Ye Cixing exclaimed. “The master didn’t let me down. After spending the money, you’ve been safe and sound. Your hand is fine, and you’re fine too. Isn’t it great?” Lu Yang was speechless.
Indeed, the heiress who was obsessed with finding bargains was easily fooled.
Lu Yang leaned back, resting her head against the chair back. She tilted her head up, phone against her ear, and gently closed her eyes. She spoke in a calm tone, “When will you come to Yonkers? I’ll treat you to a meal as a thank you.”
Ye Cixing immediately perked up, “I’ll be there soon. When the time comes, I’m going to feast on you.”
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, “When the heiress wants to feast, volunteers naturally step forward.”
“Alright, let’s move on to the next topic.” Unexpectedly, Ye Cixing’s tone suddenly changed, sounding somewhat dejected. “There are no traces of Jiang Yanzhou. I couldn’t find any clues related to you.”
Lu Yang’s voice was slightly scattered due to the wind, “Hmm, I know. There’s no need to investigate anymore. The past isn’t that important.”
Ye Cixing held her breath, then after two seconds, she let out a deep sigh. “But what was his purpose in getting close to you?”
Lu Yang said, “It was me.”
Jiang Yanzhou’s goal had been clear from the beginning.
His purpose was her.
“Is this man so scheming?” Ye Cixing exclaimed, “Oh my god, I actually thought he wanted to compete with you for power and money.”
Lu Yang was speechless.
Ye Cixing: “He turned out to be a man in love. I never expected that. It’s so surprising, genuinely shocking!”
Once again, Lu Yang was at a loss for words.
Your reaction surprised me too.
After a brief silence, Ye Cixing expressed deep concern and spoke with sinceritv, “Whoever controls the past controls the future, Lu Yang, vou have to
be careful.”
“Whoever controls the past controls the future, that’s true, but…”
Lu Yang extended her hand, slightly rotating her wrist. The skull on her bracelet also turned, and she looked at the skull’s reflection of the purple gemstone.
She said, ‘Whoever controls the present controls the past.”
And now, she was in control..
