The night is glazed with warm light

Chapter 256 Guess How Much I Love You?
Before driving, Ye Lizhi called Karlov Manor, roughly asking them to send supper to Jiachen to listen to the sea.

Lu Qingnuan sat in the co-pilot, feeling uneasy.

When he felt him leaning over, Lu Qingnuan subconsciously stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around his neck, "Ye Li, please me..."

"Okay, go back first." Ye Lizhi interrupted her in a low voice, reaching out to help her fasten her seat belt.

Lu Qingnuan lowered her head, flattened her mouth, and didn't dare to speak again.

Ye Lizhi didn't look at her anymore and started the car.

The lights of the roadside buildings flickered through the car window, shining on his face, outlining an indifferent silhouette.

When Jiachen Tinghai arrived, Ye Lizhi took the initiative to open the car door and lead her down, and the two walked to the door of her apartment together.

Ever since getting off the car, Lu Qingnuan has been wanting to speak, but dared not speak.This is the first time Ye Lizhi has been so indifferent.

"password."

Lu Qingnuan froze for a moment, and reported a series of numbers.

Ye Lizhi entered the password expressionlessly, pushed open the door, pulled her in, took her to the sofa and "sit down."

"Where are you going?" Lu Qingnuan was frightened and grabbed him tightly.

"Get you clothes and take a bath." Ye Lizhi pulled her hand away after finishing speaking.

Lu Qingnuan froze in place, this was the second time he pulled her hand away today... Although she had to pull her hand away twice to do other things, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed...

After Ye Lizhi prepared her clothes, she filled the bathtub with water, then turned around and walked back to the sofa, and took off her jewelry and watch. When she was about to take off the necklace, Lu Qing Nuan suddenly reached out to stop him, and shook his head pitifully at him, expressing that he didn't want to pick it off.

Ye Lizhi's gaze paused, and he held her wrist, "Let's go."

Hearing his cold tone, Lu Qingnuan didn't dare to speak, she lowered her head and let him take her to the bathroom.

After removing her makeup according to the instructions on the bottle, Ye Lizhi untied her clothes without changing her expression and let her soak in the water, squeezed out the body wash and wiped it on her body.

He lowered his head and grabbed her arm to wash her carefully. Ye Lizhi knew that his temper had gone too far this time, and he really couldn't control it.

The purpose of Qing Nuan's participation in this banquet is too obvious - to use the power of the Ye family, Gu family, Lu family and Meng family to warn the Jiang family, and remind the Lu family by the way to let them know that she is not a soft persimmon.

His way of accepting people is indeed the most effective, it can calm the Jiang family and Jiang Wan who was rescued the most, but he still feels a little uncomfortable, not because she knows how to use power, but he hopes that she will know how to use his power, What offended him was the contrast between his purpose for tonight and hers for tonight.

Maybe today's fight was already considered before she kidnapped Jiang Wan, even if he didn't propose to bring her to the banquet, she might have offered it.

For a moment, Ye Lizhi felt inexplicably that he might not be that important to her.

This feeling of irritability was so similar to the night when he mistakenly thought she had something to do with Chu Ci last time...

So much so that in order to get her attention, he naively chose to treat her coldly.

She clearly knows that she is very dependent on him... But is she really dependent on him because she loves him?
Ye Lizhi suddenly felt insecure.

He recalled what he knew about Lu Qingnuan's growth process - from childhood to adulthood, her life was almost lonely, indifferent, and empty.

So, is she so dependent on him because she likes him more or because she is more lonely?

Loneliness itself sometimes makes people slide toward redemption, and makes people want to fill this loneliness with love.

Could it be that he was what she used to make up for her loneliness?

If there are more and more people around who care about her and love her, will she still need him?
Ye Lizhi suddenly realized that what he could give her seemed to be nothing but feelings, because she had everything else.

She has no shortage of money, power, or protection...

He hopes that she will get a lot of love to make up for those 20+ years vacancy, but also worries that once she gets enough love, she won't need him anymore...

Thinking of this, Ye Lizhi knew that he was hypocritical and thinking wildly, but some thoughts were always out of his control.

Because, even if he shakes his head, even if he says no, he still can't leave her...

Ye Lizhi couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, it turns out that he also has today...

There was a sound of water, and Lu Qingnuan sat up suddenly, holding Ye Lizhi's hand tightly with both hands.

Only then did Ye Lizhi realize that she had lost her mind, and when she looked up, she found that Lu Qingnuan's eyes were red, and tears rolled down her wet cheeks one by one.

"Ye Lizhi" Lu Qingnuan's voice was soft and crying, "Don't be angry, I know I was wrong, and I won't be like this in the future, don't be angry..." At the end, she was so cautious that she disappeared sound.

The coldness all over her body could no longer be maintained, Ye Lizhi reached out to caress her face, and finally softened her voice, "Don't cry."

Lu Qingnuan's tears flowed even more fiercely, she held her hand tightly, her voice choked up, "Then you...don't be angry with me..."

Lu Qingnuan felt that what he was most afraid of in his life was that Ye Lizhi would never talk to her again, because he was afraid that if he was unhappy, he would become uneasy.

Seeing her crying like this, Ye Lizhi immediately regretted it.

What is he doing?
Wipe away her tears, "Stop crying, it's my fault."

"Don't ignore me." Lu Qingnuan grabbed his hand and started to sob.

Ye Lizhi's heart ached when she heard that, and she just hugged him directly, "Why would I ignore you? Be good, stop crying, it's my fault, I was just thinking about it myself, I shouldn't have treated you like this. "

Lu Qingnuan still didn't stop her tears, and asked him while sobbing, "What are you thinking... what?"

Ye Lizhi gently stroked her head, "I was thinking just now, it's not because of me that you came to the banquet."

"I'm sorry... At that time..." Lu Qingnuan felt guilty in her heart, what he said was the truth, her desire to take revenge on Jiang Wan was too strong at that time... That's why she wanted to suppress the Jiang family so much.

"Okay, don't say I'm sorry." Ye Lizhi rubbed her hair, and her voice was many times gentler than before. "You did nothing wrong. Your method is very effective against them. Now as long as you don't cry, I won't be angry." Yes. You also forgive me for my attitude towards you just now, okay?"

Lu Qingnuan shook her head, buried her whole face in his arms, tears were still streaming, and she cried aggrievedly, "I can't stop."

Ye Lizhi sighed, lifted her chin directly, and blocked her lips.

……

"I don't have time to make supper, can I eat the ready-made ones they brought over later?" Ye Lizhi dried Lu Qingnuan's accidentally wet hair just now.

"En." Lu Qingnuan nodded, her voice was hoarse, "Are you really not angry?" She was still a little uneasy.

"Yeah." Ye Lizhi put away the hair dryer and sat back beside her, "I shouldn't be angry in the first place, it's my fault."

Lu Qingnuan was tired, she leaned close to his arms, wrapped her hands around his waist, and explained seriously, "To me, you are the most important thing in the world, otherwise I wouldn't hate Jiang Wan so much."

"Well, I know now." Ye Lizhi hugged her back, and reached out to stroke her long hair.

It turns out that even a man sometimes needs a word from the other party to prove certain facts that he has known for a long time.

The two hugged quietly for a while, and when Lu Qingnuan was about to fall asleep, the people from Karlov Manor finally brought over the remade supper.

"Eat before going to sleep." Ye Lizhi gently shook him awake.

"Hmm...Okay." Lu Qingnuan sat up from the sofa listlessly.

"Come on, open your mouth." Ye Lizhi dug a piece of chaos with a spoon and fed it to her mouth.

Lu Qingnuan ate obediently, she was really hungry, she ate two bowls before she stopped.

Ye Lizhi directly used her bowl to serve herself a bowl, and it tasted good. Most of the chefs in Karlov Manor cook Western food, not as good at it as Aunt Wu, but she was still hungry, and it was midnight, so she didn't pay attention so many.

After Ye Lizhi also washed up, the two finally lay down on the bed.

Lu Qingnuan rolled into his arms immediately after he went to bed, and Ye Lizhi pulled the quilt to cover her, and after making sure that the temperature of the air conditioner would not be too low, she turned off the light and hugged her back.

"Would you like a short bedtime story?"

Lu Qingnuan couldn't help shrinking into his arms, Ye Lizhi was the most difficult to resist when he whispered to her ear.

"Okay, okay." Lu Qingnuan replied stumblingly.

"Little Nutbrown Rabbit is going to bed, but he clings on to Big Nutbrown Rabbit's long ears."

Hearing this familiar beginning, Lu Qingnuan held his breath, and unconsciously grabbed Ye Lizhi's clothes.

"He wants Big Rabbit to listen carefully and say, 'Guess how much I love you?'"

"Oh, said Big Rabbit, I can't guess that."

"'So many,' said Little Rabbit, and he opened his arms as far as they could go."

"But Big Rabbit has much longer arms, 'I love you so much,' he said."

……

After the story was finished, Ye Lizhi suddenly leaned into Lu Qingnuan's ear, "Guess how much I love you?"

Lu Qingnuan was so frightened that she immediately retracted into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I can't guess that."

Ye Lizhi laughed, hugged her tightly, and spoke in a gentle voice, "I love you, to the moon, and then come back here from the moon."
