Chapter 137 Lie
The next day, when Lu Zhengnan woke up, he only felt a splitting headache. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the surrounding environment, not knowing where he was. When he turned his gaze, he suddenly froze.

Beside him, there was actually a woman lying down, and when he looked carefully, there was a bang in his head, and it went blank for an instant.

How could it be...Qin Yue?
What exactly is going on?

He tried his best to recall, but he had no memory of anything else until he passed out on the wine table.

And at this time, Qin Yue next to her gave a vague "huh", turned over, and opened her eyes as if she had just woken up.

When she saw Lu Zhengnan, her expression was stunned, and then she screamed and sat up, the quilt slipped off, revealing her bare chest, she protected herself in panic, and yelled indiscriminately: "What's going on... what happened……"

Lu Zhengnan couldn't speak, he really didn't know how he got into this room last night, and lay on the same bed with her again.

"Go away...Zhengnan...you go away..." Qin Yue was sobbing at this moment, closing her eyes and shaking her head non-stop.

At this moment, Lu Zhengnan also felt at a loss.It's not that he hasn't experienced a one-night stand before, but Qin Yue has a different relationship with him, so it's too embarrassing.

He quickly got dressed, stood by the bed with his back to her, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"Forget it... Maybe we... all drank too much last night..." Qin Yue couldn't help sobbing, incoherent: "You don't have to think too much...you go..."

She kept urging him to leave quickly, but staying at this time would really not help the matter, he could only speak after he calmed down, Lu Zhengnan said "sorry" again, and then walked away quickly.

When the sound of closing the door sounded, Qin Yue fell back on the bed and looked at the crystal lamp on the ceiling. Tears were still pooling in the corners of her eyes, but there was a triumphant smile on her lips...

An hour later, Lu Zhengnan received a call from her, her voice was tired, as if trying to maintain her calm: "Zhengnan, don't take this matter to heart, just pretend it never happened, we... We are all adults Men and women, and last night... also drank too much wine."

The more she said this, the more Lu Zhengnan felt guilty, and he didn't know what to say.

"For the time being, I think it will be embarrassing for everyone to meet. It happens that my mother is not in good health recently, so I want to go back to my hometown and come back to work in a few days. Do you think it's okay?" An embarrassing situation is a relief.Lu Zhengnan sighed deeply: "Okay, you can go back and recuperate for a while. I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I don't know how to compensate you."

"What compensation?" Qin Yue sighed quietly: "It's just an accident, so be it, I'll hang up, see you later."

Without waiting for him to say anything else, she pressed the button, and then turned off the phone immediately.

In this way, her grievance and sadness appear more real.Qin Yue shook her phone, smiled slightly, and hummed a song to pack her luggage...

On that day, Lu Zhengnan not only felt ashamed of Qin Yue, but also felt sorry for Ye Chuxiao.

After such a thing happened, what face does he have to face Chu Xiao?He really wanted to slap himself hard.

Until the evening, he didn't dare to call her as usual.And she, who hadn't received a call from him all day, was afraid that something might happen to him, so she called him before going to bed.

The moment the bell rang, he hardly dared to look at her name on the screen.

But the bell rang over and over again, and it was conceivable that she on the other end of the phone was worried.He finally gritted his teeth and picked it up.

"Are you all right? Why haven't you sent a text message all day?" She asked anxiously.

He closed his eyes, lowered his voice and replied, "It's okay."

When I said this, the scene of waking up in the morning came back to my mind, my heart tightened with guilt, and I unconsciously uttered those three words: "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Ye Chuxiao was startled and asked back.

Lu Zhengnan immediately came back to his senses and opened his mouth. In the end, he could only choose to forcefully lie: "I'm sorry...I made you worry. I went out and drank too much wine last night, so I fell asleep all day today."

Ye Chuxiao let out an "oh", and finally felt relieved, and then blamed: "You, try to drink as little alcohol as possible, will you lose your health?"

Her concern made him even more guilty, so he could only answer "um" and "um" repeatedly, without daring to say anything.

"Okay, the head still hurts. Go to bed early. If it hurts, just rub your temples." She still loved him, stopped complaining, and told him to rest.

"Okay, you go to bed early, too." With a hoarse voice, he hung up the phone and leaned on the sofa for a long time before he dragged his heavy steps upstairs. He stared at the photo by the bed, dazed for a long time...

In the next few days, Lu Zhengnan used the excuse that he was busy with a big project, and the phone calls with Ye Chuxiao always ended quickly.She understands that he is now in the stage of starting again, and she doesn't blame him, but only tells him to pay attention to his body no matter how busy he is.

Lu Zhengnan only felt that he was in torment every day, and wanted to confess several times, but he couldn't open his mouth when he got to the point of speaking, for fear of hurting her.

On the other hand, Qin Yue's phone has been turned off since that day, and he still can't get through, which also makes him worry.

One morning a week later, Lu Zhengnan had just called a meeting for everyone, but the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open, and Qin Yue stood at the door holding the folder.

Lu Zhengnan was taken aback for a moment, but she nodded to him from a distance: "Sorry, I'm late." Then she sat in her usual seat, her expression was as usual, as if nothing really happened.

He was stunned for a moment, then restrained himself, and motioned for the meeting to continue.

When the meeting was over, other people walked out of the conference room one after another, and Qin Yue was about to leave, when Lu Zhengnan stopped her: "Qin Yue, wait."

She stopped, turned around and faced him with calm eyes: "Is there anything else, Mr. Lu?"

"Before..." Lu Zhengnan spoke awkwardly, but before he could say anything, she interrupted him: "I forgot everything before, you should forget it too."

After speaking, she smiled and walked out the door at a steady pace.

Lu Zhengnan sat without moving, until her back disappeared for a long time, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the street scene outside, his eyes were gloomy...

In the following days, Qin Yue behaved quite calmly, but except for business affairs, she seemed to avoid Lu Zhengnan everywhere, and she didn't talk too much.

This state made him speechless, and sometimes he wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to her, but she happened to be calm and calm, which made him unable to speak, but sometimes unintentionally, she would behave Very confused, often in a daze.

Lu Zhengnan also found it difficult, so he could only choose to remain silent for the time being.

Every time I face Qin Yue, or face Ye Chuxiao, I feel guilty.

But at this time, Eric suddenly returned to his home in Hong Kong.

During this period, Ye Chuxiao didn't go out to take care of Mi Li'er, and just took time to help the studio at home with design.

When Eric came back, it was noon, Mi Lier was asleep, and she was busy in the study alone.

When the servant saw him, he wanted to report, but he shook his head, signaling to keep quiet, and went upstairs alone.

When he entered the door, seeing her soft silhouette in the afternoon sun, he felt that deep down in his heart was also so soft.

Walking over quietly, he stood behind her and handed a small and exquisite jewelry box to her eyes.

The light of the ring in the box flashed across her eyes like a blade in an instant, and she felt a pain in her heart, holding the pen tightly in her hand, at a loss for what to do.

"Chu Xiao, marry me." He bent down and whispered in her ear.

She froze and couldn't move.

Eric hugged her from behind, put his chin on the top of her head, and sighed deeply: "Really, Chu Xiao, after going through so much, I realized how important it is to have a family and someone who will stay with you all my life." .I used to think that I could walk the road in this world by myself, but it was not. Sometimes I was not strong enough, and I needed someone to accompany me. I suffered a lot during this period, but every time I think of it, there are people at home. With you, Jia Lin and Mi Lier, I feel refreshed again, and I can continue walking fearlessly..."

Listening to his narration, her heart tightened inch by inch.

She understood that he also loved her with all his heart and waited patiently for her.

This deep feeling is also a rare encounter in a lifetime, what can I do to express my refusal?
"Mom, I want to drink water." Mi Lier's voice suddenly came from the door.

Eric was taken aback, and let go of Ye Chuxiao, and they turned their heads together.

Mi Lier was standing there in a daze, rubbing her eyes.

"Baby, I'll take you to drink water." Eric smiled, walked over to pick her up and went downstairs.

Ye Chuxiao stared blankly at the disappearance of their backs, her body collapsed, and she lay down on the table, without raising her head for a long time...

That afternoon, she shut herself in the study room with the excuse that she was going to catch up with the pictures in the studio. Eric didn't think much of it, so he took care of Mi Lier downstairs and didn't come up to bother her again.

In the evening, when Jia Lin came back from school, he saw Eric and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Daddy, are you back?"

"Yes, and this time, it will stay longer." Eric patted his head with a smile: "Hey, you are almost as tall as your mommy."

Mommy?Jia Lin blinked her eyes and asked, "You mean... Chuxiao's mommy?"

"Otherwise?" Eric smiled, acquiescing to certain things.

"Oh yes!" Jia Lin came to his senses, cheering and kissed Mi Li'er on the face: "Mi Li'er, we are finally going to become a real family."

Mi Lier was still ignorant, and asked suspiciously: "What is a real family?"

"That is to say, from now on, my daddy will be your father, and your mother will be my mommy." Jialin explained.

"But..." Mi Lier asked hesitantly, "Then what about my own father?"

As soon as these words came out, Jialin and his son were stunned at the same time.

"Okay, Mi Lier, you will understand later." Jia Lin turned her eyes, and immediately took Mi Lier out to play in a disguised manner, fearing that she would say something else and make Eric sad.

But how could Eric not see the difference from his attitude, sitting on the sofa in a daze for a moment, and then took a deep look at the study room upstairs, the closed door...

During dinner, Jia Lin and Mi Lier went up to ask Ye Chuxiao to come down for dinner. He saw the jewelry box on the table sharply, so he pushed Mi Lier away with an excuse, and asked Ye Chuxiao quietly: "Did Daddy ask Ye Chuxiao to come down for dinner?" Did you propose?"

Ye Chuxiao didn't know how to answer him, so she turned her gaze away.

"Mummy, just agree." Jia Lin hugged Ye Chuxiao half coquettishly and half earnestly: "Daddy loves you, and I love you too, so you and Mi Lier will stay here forever, okay?"

Ye Chuxiao was speechless, and after a while, he only said: "Let's go down to eat first."

Jia Lin pursed her lips in disappointment, and went downstairs first.

Ye Chuxiao sat for a while, and then went down to eat.

At the dinner table, only the three of them were talking, and Ye Chuxiao remained silent.

When the snow-white shrimp was caught in her bowl, she was stunned, and raised her head subconsciously, and met Eric's eyes, which were still gentle, but there seemed to be something hidden in the depths of her eyes that she couldn't explain clearly. Emotions.

Her heart trembled, she said "thank you" softly, then lowered her head and continued to eat.

After eating, Eric walked to Ye Chuxiao's side and put his hand on her shoulder: "The moonlight is very good, let's go for a walk."

Ye Chuxiao wanted to resign, but in the end she couldn't get the resignation out of her mouth, and finally followed him out.

The moonlight tonight is indeed very good, the silver glow covers the water surface, the sky and the earth, and the two moons reflect each other.

After walking half a circle around the swimming pool, Eric stopped and turned to face her: "Chu Xiao, are you... unwilling to marry me?"

Ye Chuxiao's eyes trembled suddenly, and he was speechless.

"You and Lu Zhengnan..." Eric couldn't continue asking, there was pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." For a long time, all she could say were these three words, which were extremely difficult.

"Do you still love him? Still not in love with me?" He raised his head and looked at the moon, as if muttering to himself, his voice so hoarse.

Ye Chuxiao felt pain in her heart, tears in her eyes, she could only keep saying incoherently: "I'm sorry... Eric... I'm sorry..."

Eric just shook his head, unable to speak.

He loves her so much that he wants to own her world, but he is afraid that this kind of possession, which is not what she wants, will eventually hurt her.

But how difficult it is to let go, he is really determined to hold his hand and grow old together.

He wanted to give her happiness, but the happiness she wanted was not something he could give.

He turned around weakly and walked into the room. Ye Chuxiao looked at his lonely back and wanted to stop him, but couldn't make a sound...

That night, Ye Chuxiao couldn't sleep all night, and she knew that Eric was the same, because she stood at the stairs and saw him sitting in the living room with no lights on from a distance, smoking a cigarette most of the night, the sparks flickering on and off , It seemed to fall on her heart, so hot.

Her tears fell, one by one, on the back of her hand.

After a long time, she saw him stand up, she almost subconsciously wanted to escape, but in the end, she mustered up the courage to go down the stairs.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head in surprise, watching her approaching step by step, but he couldn't move his steps.

She walked up to him and stood still. Instead of saying sorry, she raised her hand and hugged him.

His body trembled slightly, and finally hugged her back.

This hug in the dark, for a long, long time.

Like a child who suddenly couldn't find a home, he hugged her helplessly.

"Even..." Ye Chuxiao finally spoke, her voice choked with sobs: "Even if I can't marry you, to me...you will always be...the most important family in my life."

Eric's eyes burned instantly. He had never shed tears for so many years, but today, he made an exception.

"Okay." He nodded and buried his face in her hair: "Remember, this will always be your home. If you get hurt outside, come back anytime."

"Thank you Eric..." She hugged him and cried out...

The next day, everything seemed to be as usual, Ye Chuxiao and Eric were still getting along as usual, and the two children were unaware of what happened the night before.

"Jia Lin, go home early after school today, let's go out for a big meal." Eric told him when he sent Jia Lin away.

"Why?" Jia Lin was pleasantly surprised: "Daddy, did you succeed in proposing?"

Eric lowered his eyelids to hide the gloom in his eyes, and smiled: "Anyway, you should come back early."

Jia Lin left happily, Eric turned around slowly, his eyes were wistful.

He also hopes that today's dinner is for celebration, not for farewell.

Back in the room, he picked up Mi Lier, who was drawing in the living room: "Baby, uncle will not do anything today, and play with you all day, okay?"

"Really?" Mi Lier rubbed his face happily.

He nodded slightly to Ye Chuxiao who was next to him, and carried Mi Lier to the outside court.

Ye Chuxiao leaned against the door, listening to the laughter in the distance, feeling sad.

Now that everything is clear, she should not continue to live here, it will only make Eric more sad.

And this home used to be her warm haven when she was most vulnerable, how could she not be nostalgic?
After standing in a daze for a long time, when she heard the phone ringing, she managed to regain her senses and went upstairs to the room to answer it.

It was Monica who called to discuss the project, but she clearly felt that Ye Chuxiao was a little absent-minded today.

"What's wrong?" Monica asked with concern, "Did something happen?"

Ye Chuxiao answered after a while: "I...rejected Eric's marriage proposal."

This matter was actually expected by Monica, she knew that the love in Ye Chuxiao's heart was still Lu Zhengnan, and it had never changed.

"Then what are your plans now...?" Monica sighed, feeling sorry for Eric. He is really a man with deep affection and loyalty, and he is worthy of love. It's a pity that love can never be perfect for everyone.

"Go back to the ancient city." Ye Chuxiao bit her lip.Even if you don't want to give up, it's time to leave.

"Then come back, you can discuss it with Zhengnan." Monica's words reminded her, she agreed, and after hanging up the phone, she called Lu Zhengnan.

He was in a meeting, and when he saw it was her call, he immediately went outside to answer it.

"Hello, Chu Xiao..." His voice happened to fall into the ears of Qin Yue who was returning from the office with the materials. She stopped quietly and held her breath to eavesdrop.

"Zhengnan, I told Eric everything." Ye Chuxiao's voice was very soft, filled with guilt.

Lu Zhengnan didn't know what to say, so he just gave a low "Oh".

"I plan to come back with rice grains." Before Ye Chuxiao finished speaking, Lu Zhengnan asked in surprise: "Is it really coming back?"

Qin Yue, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly looked down.

"Yes, within these two days." Ye Chuxiao sighed.

"Okay, tell me after you book the ticket, and I'll pick you up." He originally wanted to go directly to Hong Kong to pick him up, but he could understand Eric's sadness at the moment, and he didn't want to go over and stab him more deeply.

Ye Chuxiao also felt a heavy heart, said a few more words in a hurry, and hung up the phone.

Lu Zhengnan also turned around and walked towards the meeting room, Qin Yue came out from the corner, his eyes were cold, his nails dug out a deep mark on the document in his hand...
