Yan Heqing neither agreed nor disagreed.
Lu Muchi gripped his phone and hurried downstairs.
Once on the first floor, Lu Muchi took a few deep breaths before answering the phone.
"Did Uncle need to see me?"
Through the car window, Lu Lin watched Lu Muchi into the car. "Where did you go last night?"
Lu Muchi immediately felt guilty, "I didn't go anywhere..."
Lu Lin said calmly, "The Ministry of Environment has already called."
Lu Muchi cursed inwardly, then simply admitted, "I just proposed."
What was the result?
Lu Muchi's urge to confide in him surged. "He didn't agree! He's cheating on me..." Lu Muchi stopped himself, "He said he has a fiancé."
He sought Lu Lin's opinion, "Uncle, please help me think of a way to get him back. I can't live without him."
Last night at the Heavenly Bay Mountain, Lu Lin was some distance away and didn't hear their conversation. Now, hearing Yan Heqing admit that he was her fiancé, whether it was genuine or a trap for Lu Muchi, Lu Lin was extremely pleased.
So much so that Lu Muchi could sense his good mood, which made Lu Muchi suspicious.
Did his uncle and his lover reconcile?
Lu Muchi felt annoyed again. Last night he was in high spirits while his uncle was depressed, and today the tables had turned.
Lu Lin naturally wouldn't offer Lu Muchi a solution; he made up an excuse and sent Lu Muchi to find a lawyer.
Putting away his phone, Lu Lin didn't go upstairs, but stared at Yan Heqing's window.
adulterer.
He thought about the Lu Muchi had just cut off, his well-maintained index finger lightly tapping the solid wood steering wheel, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.
When the car returned, Yan Heqing packed all the books, her mother's photo, and the Cube of Light, grabbed the spare car key, and carried several cartons downstairs.
After getting in the car, he first looked around. Although he didn't find any trace of Lu Muchi, he still cautiously drove around in a big circle before returning to the Beijing University family area.
He is no longer worried about Lu Muchi and Lu Lin running into each other.
This was his home, and he didn't want Lu Muchi to disturb it.
After parking the car, Yan Heqing got out and had just taken out the cardboard box when a Maybach pulled up and stopped next to him.
Lu Lin got out of the car, walked around, and naturally took the cardboard box. "Looks like I've arrived at just the right time."
With Lu Lin's help, the two of them carried their things upstairs in one trip.
Yan Heqing opened the cardboard box, first took out the photo frame and placed it on the cabinet, then took out a tissue and carefully wiped the frame surface, before placing the Cube of Light next to it.
Seeing him fiddling with things, Lu Lin's features softened, and she hugged him from behind. "You can get ready when we get back. Let's go on our date first."
It was supposed to be a date, but it was actually Lu Lin buying things for Yan Heqing on his own.
Yan Heqing rarely used his credit card for food, daily necessities, and clothing, so Lu Lin paid for them himself.
The shirt was a single style in a single color, and the tie was also a matching pair; he personally selected and matched them.
Yan Heqing had very low material desires and rarely wore formal attire. He pulled Lu Lin aside, "Don't buy any more, I can't wear all of these."
Lu Lin, however, took off several minimalist V-neck T-shirts and stuffed them into Yan Heqing's arms, ruffling his hair. "I earn money so you can spend it. Go try it."
Just as Yan Heqing was about to speak, Lu Lin leaned down and whispered in his ear with a smile, "You have to give your fiancé some sense of accomplishment, right?"
Lu Lin had said sweet words more than once, but this time, Yan Heqing's face was burning hot, and he carried the clothes and walked quickly toward the fitting room.
His face turned completely red, and Lu Lin was also somewhat taken aback. He reviewed what he had just said.
Is he her fiancé?
Lu Lin was in an even better mood, and he started browsing again, this time choosing trousers.
It's less about picking and more about sweeping.
Yan Heqing is a perfect clothes hanger; Lu Lin thinks he suits all styles.
He took a bunch of pants and clothes to the changing room, when he suddenly caught sight of two new people entering the store. The changing room door opened at the same time, and Lu Lin's eyes flashed slightly. He stepped into the changing room and then closed the door.
The changing room was more spacious than the bathroom in Yan Heqing's room, and the two of them didn't feel cramped. But Yan Heqing was stunned and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Lu Lin glanced at the door and chuckled, "There are acquaintances there. You said you wouldn't announce the wedding until the end of the month, so let's avoid them for now."
In the outer shop, Lu Han and his female companion were picking out clothes.
Yan Heqing didn't know it was Lu Han, but upon hearing Lu Lin's words, he lowered his long eyelashes, a look of guilt in his eyes. Lu Lin was such a proud man, yet for him... His chest heaved slightly, and when he looked up again, he said firmly, "There's no need to avoid me anymore, I—"
The words were sealed in a burning kiss. Lu Lin held Yan Heqing's waist and pressed him against the mirror, forcefully and silently taking away Yan Heqing's oxygen. He kissed Yan Heqing until he could hardly breathe and reached out to press his hand against his chest before Lu Lin released him.
The young man's lips were rosy from his kisses, and he was breathing slightly heavily. His light-colored pupils were bright and clear, as if they had been soaked in water. Lu Lin's fingertips caressed Yan Heqing's lips tenderly, his voice husky, "You look beautiful in this outfit."
Yan Heqing was still catching his breath, but he couldn't help but laugh. "Are you praising your good taste?"
Lu Lin smiled too. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Yan Heqing's, "Even if it's not ideal, I can't just see you at the first glance in a bar."
Mentioning the bar, Yan Heqing's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He had wanted to confront Lu Lin last night, but this wasn't the right place. He thought for a moment, "Shall we have beef noodles tonight?"
--
The girl skillfully sliced the beef when two people entered the shop.
She didn't look up, but heard a pleasant voice say, "Two bowls of clear beef noodle soup, with poached eggs, braised tofu, and two more braised eggs."
The voice was so pleasant that the girl looked up.
Upon seeing this, she was pleasantly surprised.
It's you!
Then, looking embarrassed, she put down the cleaver, her face flushed, and awkwardly clutched her apron, saying, "I'm sorry, you probably don't remember me."
Yan Heqing smiled gently, "The poached eggs, braised tofu, and braised eggs you gave me last time were all delicious, that's why I ordered them this time."
The girl was overjoyed; she hadn't expected that this handsome boy would actually come back for noodles, and that he would even remember her!
