She could barely stand, but she had to force herself to remain calm and walk out of the elevator.

"Really? A girlfriend? I'm so envious."

"You're not a man, why are you envious of my girlfriend?" Lu Chengzhou said in a joking tone.

"Haha, yes, it's so strange." Sister Meng forced a smile.

The two of them had already entered the garage.

Her car was parked quite far inside; it would take about five minutes to walk there from the entrance.

Wearing high heels to go downstairs late at night, and then having to drive...

Lu Chengzhou felt that this was probably not very convenient.

“I have other shoes in my car, so I wouldn’t drive in these.”

She glanced back at him.

As if hearing his inner doubts, it gave him a precise answer.

Lu Chengzhou's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that there is some kind of telepathic connection between them?

That's terrible.

Nothing unexpected happened after we got on the bus.

Lu Chengzhou sat in the passenger seat.

She took a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket, opened it, and handed it to him: "Want one?"

Lu Chengzhou shook his head.

"You should smoke less; smoking is bad for your health."

"Yeah, not much."

Sister Meng naturally put the cigarette case back and used her slender fingers to pick out a cigarette from it.

Put it to your lips.

Pull the lighter and light it.

"Actually, I quit smoking a long time ago, but I started smoking again recently. I can't even smoke a pack a month."

"Yeah, I'll just smoke less."

Lu Chengzhou watched her smoke, neither urging her to leave nor bothering her about the smell of smoke in the car.

Sister Meng looks quite sexy when she smokes.

Perhaps it was her makeup today, which had a retro Hong Kong style, that complemented her gesture perfectly.

The two of them stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

After the cigarette finished burning, she closed the car door and started the car.

……

"We've arrived, boss. See you tomorrow."

Sister Meng opened the car door and let him out.

"We'll take care of bringing the cat back tomorrow."

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

A little bit of guilt welled up in his heart again.

While he was with the two of them, he had absolutely no recollection of what he had gone to their house for that evening.

When I got back, all I could think about were their faces, and I didn't remember the silly cat at all.

Clearly, he was quite incompetent as the owner of the cat cafe.

"See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Repeated farewells mean that the person doesn't actually want to leave.

Lu Chengzhou finally forced himself to harden his heart and hurried upstairs.

He knew that his self-control, which he had always been proud of, was completely inadequate in front of these women.

If he keeps saying "see you tomorrow" like this, he probably won't dare to go to work tomorrow.

When a scumbag who's juggling multiple relationships goes through the trouble of juggling all those girlfriends...

He wouldn't do it unless his life was in danger and he had no other choice.

Sister Meng watched him go upstairs.

She knew he was attracted to her.

If his eyes were truly empty, why wouldn't he dare to look at her?

After returning home, Meng Wanyu indeed asked if Lu Chengzhou had said anything special.

The older sister shook her head.

"What are you thinking? He has a girlfriend now."

"girlfriend?!"

Meng Wanyu sat up abruptly from the bed and grabbed her sister's arm.

"Sis, explain yourself clearly. What girlfriend? What's going on?"

Sister Meng thought for a moment and said, "Xu Qian was probably the first person to find him, and then... you know what happened."

Meng Wanyu let go of her hand.

He regained his calm expression.

"Ah, Xu Qian."

"If it's Xu Qian, then it's not surprising at all."

"But she's probably very anxious right now, isn't she?"

"The boyfriend I worked so hard to win over has a better chemistry with other women."

Meng Wanyu lay face down on the bed, shifting to a more comfortable position, and continued to lie there.

"Ah, if it were me, I'd go crazy."

……

This is truly insane.

This is also why Xu Qian chose not to return to the Lu family today.

She could feel that the lies she had woven for her senior were about to burst at any moment, like soap bubbles under the sunlight.

"If this continues, I'm going to lose."

"I was here first, so why did things turn out like this?"

"Senior Lu, in his heart...who does he truly love more?"

Xu Qian couldn't understand it, and didn't dare to ask.

She was never a particularly daring girl.

Offering myself up to them was the boldest thing I'd ever done in my two lives.

Just when she was feeling down, the text message from Lu Chengzhou gave her hope again, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

"It's a bit chilly tonight, so please keep warm."

It was just a short sentence, without any emotion or love involved.

Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "I understand! Senior, you too!"

Do you have any friends in the north of the city?

"Yes, there is..."

"It's good that it exists."

"Ah."

Their conversation was as bland as plain water.

After hanging up her phone, Xu Qian decided to cancel her hotel reservation and go back to find him!

Now that you've successfully gained the upper hand, you should try your best to hold onto it!

So, when the time comes, even if losing him is inevitable, she can understand it.

When she rushed back to the Lu family home, Lu Chengzhou was still awake.

He opened the door for her again.

"Why are you back again?"

"I...I want..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head helplessly.

"I wanted to see you, so I came back."

Lu Chengzhou nodded: "Come in."

There was still some unfinished cake and snacks like yogurt in the refrigerator.

Lu Chengzhou took them out one by one and placed them in front of her.

Xu Qian picked up a yogurt she used to really like.

The moment I tore off the seal, I used too much force, and most of the cup spilled all over me.

Xu Qian exclaimed in surprise.

She hurriedly got up and took off her clothes.
