The small bathroom is filled with mist. Through the frosted glass, it's impossible to see what's happening inside, but the continuous ambiguous sounds make it abundantly clear.
"Lu Jinxuan, get out!"
"Not getting out. I haven't fully enjoyed my boyfriend privileges yet!"
"Get lost! I want to..."
"Be good, stop saying nonsense!"
The words left unsaid get swallowed entirely...
Yu Sangwan lies asleep on the bed, thoroughly exhausted from the ordeal.
On the balcony, Lu Jinxuan is on the phone, "Mom."
"Hmm." There's no emotion in Mrs. Lu's voice, "Had enough fun? When are you coming back?"
"Heh..." Lu Jinxuan lets out a hardly audible chuckle, "Do you think I'm just playing?"
That one sentence leaves Mrs. Lu speechless, "Son, give it up! Now, for mom, you're the most important... What's past is past. Don't pressure yourself so much, okay? Seeing you like this breaks mom's heart."
Heartbreak? Lu Jinxuan curls his lips, noncommittal.
Seeing his silence, Mrs. Lu's tone hardens, "Lu Jinxuan! Listen carefully, the engagent with the Gong family's daughter must not be canceled! What's your issue? Is she not good enough for you? You can do whatever you want, but I'm warning you, if you take the girl outside seriously, be careful... you might lose her completely!"
"..."
Lu Jinxuan's heart races, he instinctively looks at Yu Sangwan inside, his grip on the phone tightens.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely attend the engagent."
"..." Mrs. Lu is taken aback, "Really?"
Lu Jinxuan nods slightly, "Of course, when have I ever gone back on my word?"
"Good." Mrs. Lu clearly breathes a sigh of relief, "Since that's settled, mom won't interfere much in your matters... but keep things from getting out of hand, the Gong family's daughter is well-educated and sensible, don't let her lose face."
Lu Jinxuan listens impatiently, frowning tightly, "That's enough."
Ending the call, Lu Jinxuan exhales deeply and heads into the room. His gaze softens at the sight of Yu Sangwan. He climbs into bed, pulling her into his arms. Yu Sangwan sleepily snuggles into him, lazily like a little kitten.
Lu Jinxuan unconsciously smiles, engagent... marriage? What to do... for sothing this lifelong, he only wants to do it with the person he's holding right now.
After that night, Yu Sangwan's side changed from Director Le Zheng to Mr. Jiang Shuo.
Under the blazing sun, Yu Sangwan stands barefoot on a cent platform, asuring with a ruler against a blueprint. The cent platform was temporarily erected and is unstable. Lu Jinxuan stands nearby, worried that she might fall at any mont.
Watching his careful stance, Yu Sangwan deliberately tilts her body, "Ah..."
"Careful!" Lu Jinxuan quickly reaches out to support her, softly scolding, "Why so reckless? Just do it casually!"
Yu Sangwan squints her eyes with a smile, "Really? Then who was being so demanding with a while ago?"
"Ahem!" Lu Jinxuan awkwardly coughs twice, "That's different, you're mine now, even if you ss around... it's okay."
The words are unreasonable, but... they're sickly sweet, and Yu Sangwan likes them very much.
Lu Jinxuan hasn't finished giving out sweets yet, "Leave the rest, it's too tiring here... it's pretty much done anyway, let the others handle it, isn't Le Zheng also here? Co back with , study well, I don't like seeing won out and about."
"Hmm!" Yu Sangwan pouts, "How does that work? I still need my own career."
Lu Jinxuan seriously thinks about it, "Why not treat studying as a career, just keep studying and I'll support you."
"Really?" Yu Sangwan wraps her arms around his neck and initiates a kiss, "Then... you first confess, what about your matter with Mu Qinglan, no lying!"
"Oh." Lu Jinxuan sighs and shakes his head, "Do I even need to lie? There's really nothing going on..."
...
Upon hearing Lu Jinxuan explain the connection with Mu Qinglan, Yu Sangwan's mouth opens in surprise, "So that's how it is! You actually have a younger brother! He should be about my age, right?"
Lu Jinxuan holds her against him, nodding slightly, "Yeah, he's the sa age as you. But..."
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan wonders, "But what?"
"Heh." Lu Jinxuan can't help but laugh, unable to hide many things before her, nor does he wish to. He thinks for a mont and speaks truthfully, "Before Yuxuan went missing, he was already smarter than you are now, and quite adept too."
"..."
Yu Sangwan is stunned, what's this supposed to an? Hinting she's stupid, childish? Unable to bear it, she raises her hand to hit him, "Lu Jinxuan! You dare call a fool? Hmm..."
These past few days, Lu Jinxuan is addicted to kissing, one word disagreent leads to forceful kisses!
Amidst the entangled breaths, Lu Jinxuan murmurs, "It's okay, I just like you like this... I'm already smart enough, having soone too smart would be exhausting."
"..." Still thinks she's dumb, huh? Yu Sangwan is stunned but doesn't argue further, lifting her neck to et his kiss.
All of this is witnessed by Mu Qinglan, and also by Le Zhengsheng.
Mu Qinglan grits her teeth hard, turning around and bumping into Le Zhengsheng.
"Ah..." Mu Qinglan is startled, how does she always run into this person everywhere!
Le Zhengsheng narrows his eyes and scrutinizes her, "Mu Qinglan, what are you up to? Sneaking around repeatedly!"
"I..." Mu Qinglan stamrs as she bypasses Le Zhengsheng, "Don't understand what you're talking about!"
Le Zhengsheng coldly laughs, stepping forward. Seeing the two embrace and kiss, his heart aches. Resisting discomfort, "Cough cough! Hey! Boss Lu!"
Lu Jinxuan frowns, releasing Yu Sangwan. Yu Sangwan sees Le Zhengsheng and her cheeks flush red, secretly pinching Lu Jinxuan hard, "Told you not to do this outside! So embarrassing!"
After speaking, she shakes off his hand to leave. Lu Jinxuan frowns, holds onto her, "Where are you going? Just stay here! Only then will he truly give up!"
"..." Yu Sangwan is shocked, does he have to be so petty? Reluctantly, Yu Sangwan beams a smile at Le Zhengsheng, "Le Zheng."
Le Zhengsheng looks at her full of bashfulness, feeling even more bitter, "Boss Lu, I have sothing to discuss with you."
The implication is he doesn't want Yu Sangwan around. Yu Sangwan breathes a sigh of relief, "Then you guys talk, I'll go first."
Lu Jinxuan tugs at her, his eyes and tone extraordinarily gentle, "Wait for in the room, we'll have dinner together."
"Okay." Yu Sangwan, feeling extrely shy, turns and runs away.
Only then does Lu Jinxuan properly face Le Zhengsheng, "What's up? Spill it!"
Le Zhengsheng coldly smirks, "Lost in romance, huh? Haven't thought about... that incident? Why did Wanwan's rope malfunction?"
Lu Jinxuan frowns, "Wait, Wanwan? Tch! You call her that in front of ?"
"..." Le Zhengsheng is speechless, is this the ti to nitpick over such details?
