Her eyes would hold a deep sense of loneliness.

What does it feel like to fall in love with someone you can't have?

That's roughly the feeling.

After finishing the last document, she took out her phone and dialed Lu Chengzhou's number.

She didn't expect to get through.

However, after ringing for thirty seconds, the other party finally answered.

This left Sister Meng somewhat at a loss.

"Hey?"

"Ah, Lu Chengzhou, I wanted to...want to discuss with you the winery's plans for this quarter...things..."

Sister Meng stammered as she made up a reason.

Lu Chengzhou on the other end of the phone simply hummed in response.

"Tomorrow, I'll come find you tomorrow afternoon."

"it is good."

"Then you should get some rest."

"it is good."

"I'm hanging up."

"……it is good."

The phone hangs up.

Sister Meng's heart suddenly started beating much faster.

She hadn't expected to get through, much less to see Lu Chengzhou the next day.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

But upon closer reflection, he didn't say anything particularly thoughtful...

It was just a normal work handover, what was there for her to get so excited about?

Sister Meng rubbed her temples in frustration.

"Meng Jingting, you're so useless."

……

at that time.

Lu Chengzhou's phone was snatched away by Meng Wanyu.

Meng Wanyu had developed a high fever, her face was flushed, and she seemed to be speaking incoherently.

She held onto Lu Chengzhou's phone, refusing to give it back to him no matter what.

This is a property under her name, a place even her sister Meng Jingting doesn't know about.

She brought Lu Chengzhou here, not to listen to him chatting with other women.

Even work-related matters are not allowed.

Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to comply with her wishes.

"Get some rest."

"Then promise me you won't leave tonight."

"Okay, I won't leave."

Lu Chengzhou spoke in a tone as if he were coaxing a child.

Holding a cold medicine pill and a cup of warm ginger soup.

"Eat this and I won't leave."

"Lu Chengzhou! You dare to negotiate with me!"

Meng Wanyu glared at him angrily.

However, my body still honestly accepted the medicine and ginger soup.

He put the pill in his mouth and then poured ginger soup down his throat.

The bitter and spicy taste made her frown.

I choked a little.

Then he began to cough violently.

Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to take her cup and gently pat her back to help her catch her breath.

Are you feeling better?

"Cough cough cough..."

Meng Wanyu coughed, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She suddenly burst into tears.

Lu Chengzhou panicked and didn't know how to comfort her.

He had no choice but to let her take advantage of him.

"Lu Chengzhou, you bastard... Waaaaah..."

"How am I an idiot?"

"You're an idiot! I hate you!"

"Fine, if you hate me, then hate me."

He was saying things he hated, but his hands were clenched tightly, refusing to let go.

Lu Chengzhou was highly suspicious. Did she really hate him, or was it just an excuse?

Women's affairs are just so hard to understand!

With a gentle push, Meng Wanyu knocked him down onto the bed.

She grabbed his wrist and bit it hard.

"Sigh~"

This guy isn't just cat-like in temperament, he's cat-like in personality too!

One second they're clingy, the next they're suddenly biting.

Moreover, shouldn't a person with a high fever be weak in their limbs?

How can you be so strong!

Meng Wanyu bit his left hand, and then started biting his right hand.

Lu Chengzhou, relying on his good physique, casually hummed a couple of times and let her go.

Why didn't you dodge?

After biting the person, she asked such an unreasonable question.

"How can I hide..."

"You can hit me."

She took his hand, placed it on her cheek, and looked at him expectantly, urging him on.

"Go ahead and hit me."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Please, if I slap you, you might die.

Moreover, he would never hit a woman unless he was cornered.

Seeing that he refused to make a move, Meng Wanyu moved his hand to her waist.

"Go ahead and spank me? I'll allow you to spank me."

Lu Chengzhou rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Do not make jokes.

If he keeps playing like this, he might lose control again.

"Hit me then? Hit me, please~"

"Stop fooling around, Miss Meng."

"Don't call me Miss Meng!"

"Okay, Miss Meng."

……

After a long, restless night, the cold medicine finally started to work.

Meng Wanyu drifted off to sleep and let Lu Chengzhou go.

Lu Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and snatched the phone from her arms.

Just as I was about to get out of bed, I heard her humming again.

So, I had no choice but to lie down again.

Even in her sleep, Meng Wanyu still clung to his arm, refusing to let go.

Their habits are exactly the same as a cat's.

Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to keep his eyes open, staring at the ceiling, and stay with her until dawn.

He thought a lot that night.

Half of that time was spent berating himself for being blinded by lust.

The other half of his time was spent contemplating the path forward.
