Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf

Liang Yu casually replied with a message.

I'll come down now.

She went downstairs to her workstation, picked up her Chanel handbag, clocked out at the door, and headed straight for the elevator.

It was shortly after get off work hours, and there were still quite a few people waiting for the elevator.

Liang Yu stood there, waiting for several downward elevators, but he still couldn't get on.

Only after the elevator doors opened did two or three people enter, and Liang Yu followed them into the elevator.

When she came out of the elevator, she took out her phone to check the time.

More than forty minutes had passed since she replied to Yan Qi's message.

She hurriedly walked to the parking spot where she had gotten off that morning.

From afar, she could see Yan Qiru, just like in the morning, quietly leaning against the passenger door, waiting for her.

She walked quickly to Yan Qi, her breath unsteady from her rapid pace explaining:

"Sorry to keep you waiting, there were a lot of people waiting for the elevator after get off work..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Qi's well-defined, muscular forearm reached to her side, his long, strong right hand taking the bag from her shoulder, and he interrupted her in a low voice:

"It's okay, I can wait for you. Get in the car."

Liang Yu looked at Yan Qi, smiled and nodded, then leaned over and sat in the passenger seat.

Yan Qi placed the bag on Liang Yu's lap, gently closed the car door, walked around the front of the car to the driver's seat, started the car, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you hungry? Shall we go for dinner first?"

Liang Yu hugged the bag in her arms, lowered her eyes to feel her stomach growling with hunger, and whispered:

"I never eat out; I just go straight home."

Yan Qi glanced sideways at Liang Yu and suggested:

"I can have dinner delivered to your house."

Liang Yu raised her eyelashes in surprise and replied happily:

"That's great, I can pay for the delivery."

Yan Qi hummed in agreement and asked:

"What would you like to eat?"

Liang Yu thought for a moment and replied:

"I'd like to have Chao Kee's seafood congee, and also a serving of pan-fried buns."

Yan Qi immediately dialed the number, and the call seemed to connect after one ring. Yan Qi spoke directly into the phone:

"A bowl of seafood congee from Chao Kee and a pan-fried bun, delivered to No. 28, Lishu Village."

Just as Yan Qi was about to hang up, he heard Liang Yu urgently correct him from the side:

"It's two servings of seafood congee from Chao Kee and two servings of pan-fried buns. My friend and I live together, and she also needs to eat dinner."

Liang Yu naturally revealed the news that he "did not live alone" to Yan Qi.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a surge of pride.

She's so smart.

Yan Qi's deep black eyes glanced at Liang Yu, his gaze sweeping over her serious expression and instantly seeing through her little scheme.

Yan Qi's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he spoke into the phone:

"Did you hear that? You need two servings."

After Liang met Yan Qi and hung up the phone, he asked in a consultative tone:

"Could you have that person on the phone deliver dinner to me for three months? I'll pay him 50 yuan a day for the service."

Fearing Yan Qi would refuse, he quickly explained:

"You know Lishu Village is very remote, there's no food delivery service at all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Qi hummed in agreement and said:

"Can."

Liang Yu immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and happily thanked him.

She couldn't help but glance at Yan Qi again.

Yan Qi kept his eyes on the road ahead and focused intently on driving.

The light flashed past the car window, casting ever-changing dappled patterns on his fair cheeks, while his thick, curled eyelashes cast fine shadows on his eyelids.

His eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, and his dark eyes were like a deep pool of water, calm and profound, revealing a kind of serenity that comes from having experienced the world.

Yan Qi still maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, as if he wanted to keep strangers at bay.

At this moment, Liang Yu felt that the oppressive and suffocating cold aura was not as terrifying as it had been in the morning.

Although Yan Qi is a cold person, he is actually quite easy to talk to.

Liang Yu sat upright, looking straight ahead.

The two remained silent the entire way.

Fortunately, Yan Qi drove very fast and was able to navigate through the congested traffic with ease. When they returned to Lishu Village, the evening rush hour had not yet ended.

Liang Yu thought he would have to wait a while for dinner to arrive after he got home, but to his surprise, he saw that dinner was already hanging on the front door after he got out of the car.

The delivery person Yan Qi found was really reliable.

Liang Yu waved happily at Yan Qi:

"You should go home and have dinner soon too. See you tomorrow morning."

Yan Qi replied calmly, "See you tomorrow morning," and watched Liang Yu close the gate before walking towards the house next door.

Liang Yu received a message from Lin Xiao as soon as he entered the house.

[Xiao Yu, are you on your way home? Let me know you're safe when you see this message.]

Liang Yu returned.

[Xiaoxiao, I'm home safely! Let's start dinner right away. What are you doing?]

Lin Xiao replied instantly.

[It's good that you're home. The mother is about to give birth, so I'll stop chatting now. You should get some rest. Don't reply.]

Liang Yu put down his phone and started eating dinner.

When ordering, she thought she could easily finish the food, but after opening the container, she realized it was far too much; she couldn't even finish one serving, as there were two servings for her.

Liang Yu only drank a small half bowl of seafood porridge and ate two pan-fried buns in the end, and put the rest in the refrigerator.

After eating and drinking my fill, I realized I hadn't paid for dinner.

Liang Yu opened his phone, tapped on "Qi's" chat box, and transferred 1,000 yuan.

[Yan Qi, this is my dinner allowance. It will be deducted from this for each meal. Let me know when you've used it all, and I'll transfer the money back to you.]

After sending the message, Liang Yu put down his phone and went to take a shower.

When I returned after washing up, I saw that Yan Qi had replied with a single word: "Good."

But they didn't take the money.

Liang Yu received a message notification.

[Yan Qi, remember to collect the money.]

Five minutes later, Yan Qi replied with a message.

I'd like a pair of cufflinks. Could you help me choose a style? A thousand isn't enough, I'll make up the difference.

Liang Yu stared at the message for a while before he finally understood what it meant.

This is called reciprocity.

Yan Qi had someone send her dinner, and she gave him a pair of cufflinks in return.

Repay favors with favors, and neither party owes the other anything.

Liang Yu returned.

No problem, do you have a favorite color? Or a style you'd like?

Yan Qi returned.

[You decide.]

Liang Yu exited the chat interface and started browsing the brand's official website for cufflinks.

There are many styles of cufflinks, and Liang Yu was a little dazzled after looking at them for a while.

She remembered that when she last met Yan Qi at the bar, she noticed a snake-shaped sapphire cufflink on his sleeve.

Why not just have a snake-shaped emerald cufflink made for Yan Qi?

Emerald green paired with a black shirt also looks quite nice.

Thinking of this, Liang Yu immediately contacted the brand.

Custom-made cufflinks typically take two months to arrive, and since Liang Yu specified the gemstone material, it may take up to three months to receive them.

Just then, Yan Qi's driving job was finished, and she was about to settle his payment.

Liang Yu thought that if she was satisfied with Yan Qi's job as a driver for the past three months, then giving these cufflinks to Yan Qi wouldn't be out of the question.

The next day, when Liang Yu was baking bread, he hesitated for a moment in front of the bread machine, but in the end he still baked a slice of bread for Yan Qi.

She didn't know where Yan Qi lived. If he lived in the city, he would have to get up much earlier to come and take her to work.

She wasn't a exploitative capitalist; she couldn't very well let people come to work hungry.

It's just a piece of toast, something I did on the side.

After Liang Yu got up, he did not send a message to Yan Qi. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw Yan Qi waiting by the passenger door.

Liang Yu smiled happily at Yan Qi.

Having a reliable and punctual driver is really great.

Liang Yu walked over, and Yan Qi still took all the things from her arm, helped her into the car, and then returned everything to her.

Then he walked around the front of the car, got into the driver's seat, and started the engine.

Yan Qi did not say a word throughout the entire process.

Liang Yu sat upright in the passenger seat, struggling with whether or not to tell Yan Qi that she had ordered cufflinks last night, which would arrive in three months.

But she was torn and conflicted the whole way.

Even when Yan Qi opened the passenger door for her, indicating that she could get out, she ultimately kept her words to herself.

She left a loaf of bread on the center console when she got out of the car.

Before parting, he smiled and said to Yan Qi:

"I baked an extra slice of bread today; I'll leave it in the car for you to have for breakfast."

After saying that, she waved to Yan Qi, said "See you after get off work," and walked towards the elevator.

Yan Qi remained aloof and distant, but his gaze, fixed on Liang Yu's back, suddenly became moist and hot.

Liang arrived at the company early, so she put down her bag at her workstation and went straight to the stairwell to have breakfast.

When she returned to her workstation, all her colleagues in the office were already there.

As soon as she walked into the office, almost all her colleagues started whispering and gossiping among themselves.

Liang Yu keenly noticed everyone's strange behavior and felt the scrutinizing gazes directed at her from all around.

She pretended to be nonchalant, putting her hands in her pockets. Her hands trembled slightly as her index fingers unconsciously pinched her thumbs.

She sat quietly at her workstation, forcing herself to ignore the stares of those around her.

She didn't know what had happened.

I don't know why everyone started talking about her.

She simply ate a piece of toast in the stairwell.

The more Liang Yu thought about it, the more flustered he became, and his hands trembled more and more noticeably.

Just as Liang Yu took a deep breath and slowly adjusted his mindset, Li Li suddenly appeared beside him, loudly questioning him:

"Liang Yu, I asked you to move bottled water from the warehouse yesterday, where did you take the laptop from the warehouse?"

Liang Yu looked at Li Li blankly, explaining with a completely bewildered expression:

"I... I didn't take a laptop, I only carried two cases of bottled water..."

Li Li's anger surged to the top of her head, and she shouted loudly;

"I only told you where the warehouse key was, and you were the only one who went into the warehouse yesterday. Now the laptop is gone. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?!"

Liang Yu was stunned for a moment, looking up at Li Li's angry face, and instinctively explained:

"I didn't bring my laptop, and I wouldn't need it anyway."

Liang Yu quickly grasped the situation and immediately added:

"Why don't we check the security footage? We'll know if I took my laptop or not by watching the footage."

Li Li began to rebuke him angrily:

"The warehouse security camera was reported for repair the day before yesterday. The repair request form is in my drawer, covered by the warehouse key. You could have seen it at a glance when you took the key. What are you pretending to be innocent for now?!"
