"This..." She raised her hand, just about to take it up for a look.
However, Mu Qinglan's hand was much faster, and she grabbed that lip tint and praised, "So pretty! Can I try it?"
The sales assistant smiled and nodded, "We have a sample, and there's only this one regular size left, it's a new model, still in the trial phase, not much stock..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qinglan held onto the lip tint even tighter, "Is that so? Then I'll try this one, don't worry... I'll take it."
As she spoke, she looked up at Lu Jinxuan, "Jinxuan?"
Lu Jinxuan's gaze, however, fell on Yu Sangwan beside him. The little girl obviously wanted this one too, and was pouting, her disappointnt unhideable... After all, she's still a kid, everything was written on her face.
He couldn't help but look at the sales assistant, "Isn't there a second one? I want two."
The sales assistant apologetically shook her head, "Sorry, there's no more regular size... If you're in a hurry, we still have one trial size."
Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows, very dissatisfied with the answer. A trial one? How could that be for the little girl?
The sales assistant continued to explain, "Although it's a trial size, we use disposable lip brushes each ti for custors, there's no contamination, and... it's only been tried a few tis, it can be sold at a discount."
Lu Jinxuan shook his head, intending to refuse.
"That's fine!" But Mu Qinglan abruptly interrupted him, looking up at Yu Sangwan, "It's okay, right? Actually, it's just like a new one, isn't it?"
Yu Sangwan bit her lower lip, awkwardly not knowing how to answer.
This Mu Qinglan, did she really sleep for seven years? Why is she so quick-witted? Yu Sangwan felt that she couldn't argue with her. If she refused, it would make her look petty. But if she accepted, what did that an? Implying that what she had was always used by others?
"I..."
Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows, shook his head at the sales assistant, "No! Just one regular size, for this lady."
As he spoke, he pointed to Mu Qinglan.
His hand tightened, pulling Yu Sangwan closer to him, and whispered softly in her ear, "Don't be upset, I'll have Yuezhe get so directly from the factory for you, as many as you want."
That tone, as if... they were one, naturally putting outsiders first.
"Okay." Yu Sangwan pursed her lips and nodded obediently. The dinner for two temporarily turned into a dinner for three.
At a table, a huanghuali dining table, Mu Qinglan sat between Lu Jinxuan and Yu Sangwan.
"Oh dear." Mu Qinglan bashfully shook her head, "Is it not good for to be here? Actually, I could just go back directly."
"It's fine." Lu Jinxuan secured her wheelchair, "You haven't been out in a while, it's good to get so fresh air."
Mu Qinglan lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, a shy smile at the corner of her lips.
Yu Sangwan felt her chest tight, and could only ntally suggest to herself... she hadn't seen anything!
On the table, Lu Jinxuan's phone rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes narrowing slightly, and stood up, "I'm going outside to take a call!"
"Okay."
"Okay."
His words were directed at Yu Sangwan, but both Mu Qinglan and Yu Sangwan answered simultaneously.
Lu Jinxuan himself didn't think much of it, but the feeling between the two won was very subtle.
He went out to take the call.
Mu Qinglan smiled, looking at Yu Sangwan, "How long have you two been together?"
"Uh?" Yu Sangwan hesitated slightly, "Uh... we just got together."
"Oh... no wonder." Mu Qinglan nodded, as if she understood sothing, "Do you know about Jinxuan's situation?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, "What situation are you referring to?"
Mu Qinglan smiled aningfully, pointing at the antique lighter hanging in Lu Jinxuan's suit jacket, "Take a look, is there an antique lighter in the pocket?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, antique lighter... it was indeed sothing she rembered.
Hearing Mu Qinglan ntion it, she couldn't help but reach into the pocket to feel for it, then took it out to show her, "Are you talking about this?"
"Yes." Mu Qinglan nodded, her gaze seeming to look through the lighter at a ti long past, "He's... both the most heartless and the most devoted. For him to keep sothing by his side for so many years speaks volus, don't you think?"
"..."
Yu Sangwan clenched the lighter in her palm, her heart twisting with it.
Could it be that this lighter... was given by Mu Qinglan?
"This..." Yu Sangwan was just about to ask.
But Mu Qinglan shook her head, "Put it back, okay? If it goes missing, he'll be upset... I don't want to talk about past things anymore..."
Her tone was hesitant, appearing pained.
Yu Sangwan felt bitterness in her heart, was she an unwelco third wheel? She had been deceived by An Zihao for so many years, and she hated mistresses the most! Destroying others' happiness is the most inhumane cri!
There was a knock on the door. Yu Sangwan snapped back to reality and hurriedly put the lighter back into the suit pocket.
Lu Jinxuan pushed the door open, pulled out a chair, and sat down beside Yu Sangwan, "What are you talking about?"
"Talking about you." Yu Sangwan smiled faintly, but her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles!
Mu Qinglan also smiled, "Hehe... Miss Yu is very cute. You two... are a good match."
Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, deeply in agreent.
There was a 'knock knock' on the door, the al delivery had arrived.
During the al, Yu Sangwan found the food tasteless, perhaps the only person who found it no different from usual was Lu Jinxuan.
Tang Yueze and the driver were waiting at the door, and as soon as they ca out, the car door was opened for them.
"Jinxuan..."
"Jinxuan..."
Yu Sangwan and Mu Qinglan stood leaning on the doors of two different cars, both looking towards Lu Jinxuan.
Lu Jinxuan frowned, what kind of strange atmosphere is this...?
"I'm heading back first." Mu Qinglan smiled, suddenly clutched her chest, and frowned, "Hmm..."
Lu Jinxuan was startled and hurried over to her, holding her shoulders, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Was it sothing you ate tonight... I was careless!"
While speaking, he turned back to instruct Tang Yueze, "Take Wanwan ho... I'll take Qinglan back, inform MARK, tell him about Qinglan's condition, and have him ready, waiting!"
"Yes, young master..."
Things happened quickly, and in an instant, Lu Jinxuan had already driven away with Mu Qinglan.
The air was filled with the sll of car exhaust, and Yu Sangwan seed lost in thought.
"Miss Yu?" Tang Yueze gently reminded her, "Shall we get in the car?"
Yu Sangwan had been in a bad mood all night and really just wanted so peace. She shook her head at Tang Yueze, "Mr. Tang, I don't need you to take ... I want to go by myself, that's it, thank you, goodbye."
She said and then turned to run away.
"Hey, Miss Yu!" Tang Yueze couldn't stop her and helplessly shook his head.
This Miss Yu, her personality is quite unique. What woman wouldn't want to latch onto the young master? In Holy City, there are plenty of won like that... seeing a girl this independent made Tang Yueze worried for her. Seriously getting involved with the young master, afraid it's... not good.
Yu Sangwan wandered alone under the dazzling lights of Donghua Street, not wanting to go back yet.
Inside the villa, Lu Jinxuan settled Mu Qinglan in.
MARK did the check-up, "Nothing serious, the stomach is just a bit fragile... pay more attention."
"Okay."
Lu Jinxuan nodded, habitually reaching for the antique lighter in his pocket... but when he felt around, his expression changed!
Wasn't it in the suit pocket? How could it be gone?
In a panic, Lu Jinxuan reached for his trousers pocket... still nothing!
When he went to the restaurant today, he felt it then, it was definitely there, but now it's gone? He had been with Yu Sangwan and Mu Qinglan all evening... Lu Jinxuan imdiately pushed open the door and went to ask the just-laid-down Mu Qinglan.
"Qinglan, have you seen my lighter?"
Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrows lightly, "Are you talking about the one you often hold in your hand? I've seen it!"
She nodded, "During dinner, Miss Yu took it out to look at it!"
Yu Sangwan took it out to look at it? Then it's gone?
Lu Jinxuan frowned, turned around, and imdiately dialed Yu Sangwan's number.
Yu Sangwan was weaving through the crowded street, Lu Jinxuan called her several tis but she didn't hear it, the last ti, she finally noticed it, took it out, and couldn't help but smile, "Realized to call ?"
"Yu Sangwan!" Lu Jinxuan was already anxious, his tone naturally unpleasant, low roaring as he questioned, "Did you touch my lighter?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was startled, silly nodded in response, "Yes, I looked at it, and then..."
So she did touch it, and now it's gone?
Lu Jinxuan's pent-up emotions erupted, the lighter was gone, a feeling beyond explanation wrapped around him like a poison, making him blurt out, "Who told you to touch my things? Is that sothing you can handle? Yu Sangwan! Do you really think you are important enough to do whatever you want in front of ? It's lost, can you afford to compensate?"
His barrage of words left no room for Yu Sangwan to respond.
What was happening? Why was he so harsh... previously, he was only harsh because she wouldn't go with him, this was the first ti he's been harsh for sothing else! Just because she touched sothing his ex-girlfriend gave him?
If that's the case, why pretend to pursue her?
In her daze, Yu Sangwan didn't see the road ahead, amidst the screeching horns, a beam of dazzling light shone towards her.
"Miss, move aside!"
Yu Sangwan raised her hand and saw a car speeding towards her...
