Chapter 27
When Lu Chu Yao arrived at the neighboring city, it was already three in the morning.
He was exhausted, but his dark eyes were still bright. He had changed into a cheap and ordinary suit with a casual tie, making him look the opposite of a rich guy.
It was a small house with two sets of keys. One for Lu Chu Yao, and one for Ning Sheng.
He opened the door and walked in. It was pitch black inside. He turned on the light and saw Ning Sheng in her pajamas. She was looking at the door vigilantly and even had a baseball bat in her hand. The strong facade she put on had broken after meeting Lu Chu Yao.
“Why did you come home in the middle of the night?” Ning Sheng asked.
Lu Chu Yao closed the door and casually put away his cheap suit. He walked in front of Ning Sheng and took the thing from her hand. The corners of his mouth lifted, making people unable to look away.
“Ning Sheng, I’m back. Don’t be afraid.” Lu Chu Yao’s voice had a rare gentleness, and it was also filled with indulgence and pampering.
His departure had made his wife feel insecure.
“I’m not afraid. I’m just subconsciously on guard when someone comes in.” Ning Sheng said uneasily, her face a little red.
Lu Chu Yao hugged her in his arms and smiled, “Yes, yes, yes. Our teacher Ning is so outstanding. She’s not afraid of anything.”
After Ning Sheng had calmed down, Lu Chu Yao continued, “Ning Sheng, we might need to move.”
“Ah? We can’t stay here?” Ning Sheng stuck her head out, confused.
“We should move.”
The next day, Lu Chu Yao really called the moving company over and abandoned the 90 square meter room. Ning Sheng saw the moving company’s people and asked her husband, “Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
When they arrived, Ning Sheng was stunned.
What’s with this white villa in front of her? The surrounding flowers and plants reminded her of spring. She had seen this villa in an advertisement for real estate development before. It was a villa that advocated green and environmentally friendly.
“How did you get this villa?”
“I think I won the lottery.” Lu Chu Yao said casually.
Ning Sheng tilted her head and looked at him. She clearly didn’t believe that things were that simple.
“My classmate is going to study abroad, so this house is temporarily lent to me. This is our new home, and we’ll live here from now on.” Lu Chu Yao looked at the villa and chose the most random excuse in his mind.
Lin Shang, who was preparing to move with the moving company was speechless. He wanted his boss to realize how reputation is an important thing for a man, he should not keep doing this to himself.
Ning Sheng looked at Lu Chu Yao suspiciously and asked, “Could this be a parting gift from some rich lady?”
Pfff. Lu Chu Yao shook his head. That was definitely not the case!
Which rich woman was so rich that she could control him?
“I have a present for you” Lu Chu Yao casually took it out of his pocket and continued, “I bought this for you from Beijing. I hope you like it.”
Ning Sheng looked at the exquisitely wrapped box and opened it.
There was a bangle inside. It looked like an antique with an old pattern. She couldn’t quite understand the value of this thing and was hesitating about whether to wear it or not. Lu Chu Yao’s voice sounded above her head, “I just bought it from a stall. It’s not very valuable. Would you wear it?”
Ning Sheng glanced at him. He sounded so carefree, it was probably not worth much.
Lin Shang, who was helping to move things, twitched his mouth and almost dropped the tea set in his hand.
