Chapter 102 We're familiar enough with each other.
"Did you go out with Jiang Weihai today?"
Lu Congyue's sudden speech made Zhuang Qingxiang unable to remain innocent, and she looked up and responded softly.
"Where did you go?" he asked again.
"I went to his house and got this," Zhuang Qingxiang said honestly, shaking the embroidery hoop in her hand.
Lu Congyue frowned and looked at it: "What is this?"
Zhuang Qingxiang then recounted the matter she had discussed with Feng Wenhua.
Lu Congyue lowered his eyebrows: "You're not even part of the factory, why should you bother with this kind of thing? Don't bother!"
"..." Zhuang Qingxiang felt a lump in her throat and lowered her head, saying, "It's already agreed, and the fabric has been brought back. I'll try it on; what if Mr. Ross likes it?"
The main thing is that it can help him.
Zhuang Qingxiang meant well, but Lu Congyue found the satin irritating no matter how he looked at it.
"Is this material unavailable? Do you have to go to his house to get it? Although our factory is not as disciplined as the army, we don't take a single needle or thread from the people for nothing," Lu Congyue said seriously.
Zhuang Qingxiang opened her mouth, then tentatively asked, "Then... could you send some money to Master Jiang?"
Just when I was wondering how to bring it up, Lu Congyue gave me the opportunity.
Lu Congyue, with a stern face, said in a deep voice, "Of course we'll send it. Don't worry about this matter. I'll have someone set a reasonable price for it and send it to Master Jiang later."
Zhuang Qingxiang wanted to ask if she would be paid for her embroidery, but seeing Lu Congyue's face, she wisely refrained from asking.
After they finished talking about it, the two fell silent again.
To ease the awkwardness, Zhuang Qingxiang turned her attention back to the embroidery hoop.
Lu Congyue's gaze involuntarily fell on her.
She lowered her head slightly, her nimble fingers busily working with the needle. The sunlight slanted down on her, her gentle features softening one's heart.
Lu Congyue couldn't help but think of that night when she took the initiative to kiss him, and later, clutching his clothes and leaning against him, breathing softly...
Unfortunately, the lights were off, so I couldn't see anything clearly.
If it were daytime, he could clearly see whether her eyes and brows would still be so gentle, or full of charm...
A restless mind only lasts a moment, quickly turning into a feeling of unease.
She didn't want to marry him!
Ha...who cares?
He hadn't originally planned to get married.
Otherwise, he would have gotten married long ago, and it wouldn't have been her turn.
But then he immediately thought of how everyone was saying that Jiang Weihai and Zhuang Qingxiang were getting married soon during lunch today, and he felt very annoyed again.
Chef Jiang from the cafeteria was also there at the time, and he didn't refute it, which means that it really happened.
But she was stubborn and said she didn't plan to remarry, then she smiled at Jiang Weihai like that, making him revolve around her all day long.
Lu Congyue felt increasingly troubled and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
"Director Lu, are you feeling unwell?" Zhuang Qingxiang felt uneasy because he kept looking at her. She looked up and saw that he looked like he had a terrible headache. She asked worriedly.
Lu Congyue scoffed, "That's a really unfamiliar way to address me. I thought we were close enough!"
He emphasized the last three words.
Then, he saw a blush rise to Zhuang Qingxiang's cheeks, which then spread to her small, round ears and slender neck...
The inside of the clothes is probably red too.
Lu Congyue suddenly remembered the peaches he ate in his hometown. They were white with a hint of pink, and when they were ripe, the outer skin was easy to peel off, revealing the sweet and juicy peach flesh inside. One bite and your mouth and hands would be full of juice.
She must be like that too.
That night, although I didn't see it, I felt it.
Lu Congyue was extremely thirsty, so he grabbed a glass of cold water and gulped down a large glass of cold boiled water.
Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a woman hurriedly getting up. Her face was flushed, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost. She even knocked over the stool when she got up, and she didn't even care about the stool as she ran into the inner room.
On a whim, Lu Congyue dropped his teacup and took two steps forward to stop the person.
"Why are you hiding?" he asked.
Zhuang Qingxiang blushed even more, her watery eyes blinking, but she dared not look at him.
"I'm asking you a question." Lu Congyue's Adam's apple bobbed.
Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head with her lips tightly pursed.
He had the nerve to ask, but she had the nerve to answer.
It's so inexplicable. One second he was throwing a tantrum, and the next second he...
He would have noticed if he had just looked down himself; how dare he ask her?!
Looking at her shifty eyes, Lu Congyue suddenly realized something, glanced down at her, and his anger flared up.
In broad daylight, he just thought about it for a moment, and then...
I reacted so strongly, but what about her?
Not only did she act like it was none of her business, but she also avoided him.
"You saw it?" He steeled himself and asked through gritted teeth, "Whose fault is this? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this!"
Zhuang Qingxiang looked up at him in shock, as if he had said something terrible.
Lu Congyue was even more annoyed. Ignoring his rational outbursts, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, then complained through gritted teeth, "I've never done this before. You took the initiative that night..."
Zhuang Qingxiang hurriedly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her watery eyes filled with panic.
Lu Congyue snorted and pulled his hand down, continuing, "You dared to do it but won't let me say anything? You've turned me into this and you're not taking responsibility? Zhuang Qingxiang, you're really something!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the kang (a heated brick bed) in the inner room, where two children were chatting and laughing. They were very well-behaved, not bothering or making a fuss.
He followed Zhuang Qingxiang toward the wire bed.
Zhuang Qingxiang realized his intentions and panicked, her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to run away, but couldn't, and her voice trembled with anxiety.
"Lu, Lu Congyue, no... Yueyue is coming home from school soon."
"What should I do then? She'll see this after school."
With a creak, the two of them fell onto the bed.
Lu Congyue stared intently at the woman whose face was flushed, his fingers lingering on the hem of her dress, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you suggest we do?"
Zhuang Qingxiang was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She shook her head and pleaded, "No...they'll see..."
"So what if I see it?" Lu Congyue said fiercely. "Seeing it is the perfect opportunity to marry you."
After saying that, I suddenly realized it was a good idea.
Sensing his eagerness, Zhuang Qingxiang burst into tears, "No... Yueyue is really about to get out of school... I... I'll help you, I'll help you, okay?"
……
After Xiao Qianyue skipped and hopped into the door, her steps immediately slowed down, and she began to walk steadily.
She is always good at reading people's expressions and moods.
Things aren't going well today either.
Uncle Lu still had a long face and looked angry.
When I put down my schoolbag, I looked at my mother again. Her eyes were a little red. Had she been crying?
Xiao Qianyue sighed.
It seems that Uncle Lu and Mom had another argument today.
She glanced at her mother, who seemed lost in thought, then turned and ran into the yard. She leaned close to Lu Congyue and whispered, "Uncle Lu, did my mother upset you again?"
Lu Congyue froze, awkwardly twitching the corner of his mouth, and patted the little girl's head: "No, why do you say that?"
"You don't seem too happy. You only act like this when your mother annoys you," Xiao Qianyue said seriously.
Lu Congyue snorted.
