ly cheerful voice, "Mommy still has to work! You're staying with Daddy today!"There was also a cake on the table.Today is Lu Qian's birthday.He thought that perhaps Mingzhu had forgotten, or perhaps...Mingzhu's slender body lay hidden under the sheets, dotted with tiny red marks where he had touched her just moments before.

She is crying.

Half sadness, half fear.

Lu Qian covered his swollen eyes and it took him a long time to speak in a low voice: “Eat and leave! Don’t come over again, Huo Mingzhu, listen carefully, I don't want you anymore.”

Her sobs grew fainter.

Just like that, he hunched over for a long while, and then slowly curled up.

She also refused to eat. In such an embarrassing situation, she didn't even want to go out and see anyone.

After a long while, she finally sat up and began to get dressed.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably, but she still slowly put on her clothes and got out of bed.

Lu Qian followed and got out of bed.

He lightly touched her elbow, his voice hoarse: "Go have dinner. After you finish, I'll send a car to take you to the airport."

The next second, his hand was opened.

Her voice was soft: "No need, I'll walk by myself."

Lu Qian's hand froze mid-air for a long time before slumping down dejectedly. He wanted to speak again but held back.

She is willing to leave, well then!

What else is there to salvage Even if I sent her back, what difference would it make

The air was silent. Her hand gripped the doorknob, and in that moment she knew with absolute certainty that there was no going back after this separation. She would never call him "Uncle Lu" again!

It's over,

He was just a fling, a whirlwind romance, but she fell deeply in love.

But at this very moment, Mingzhu knew with absolute certainty that she had never regretted it. Those cherished memories of being loved were truly hers, and that was all that mattered.

The door opened, and an old woman stood outside.

The old woman smiled: "What's wrong You're crying and have a runny nose Lu Qian, let me tell you, Mingzhu is so much younger than you. You should cherish her, not bully the younger generation!"

Saying that, the old woman took the little girl's hand and called her to eat.

Thus, a gentle and kind old woman, Mingzhu couldn't let go. She only whispered through tears, "I have to go home."

The old woman stared at her son for a few seconds, then spoke: "If you want to leave, wait until after dinner! Let Uncle Lu send you back."

In the end, the three of them had dinner together.

An unprecedented silence.

Mingzhu's tears kept falling, pitter-patter. Lu Qian had no appetite. He walked to the window and took out a cigarette to light it.

When she finished eating, he called the family driver to take her to the airport.

The black RV drove away slowly. Lu Qian stood there quietly for a long time...

His heart, aching to the point of numbness.

The old woman was weeping by his side, only muttering a few phrases over and over.

"After finally making up my mind, how did I let the atmosphere go"

……

But the old woman was perceptive. She saw her son's predicament and didn't interfere too much. She only pitied her son and felt sorry for Mingzhu, that child. She wanted to ask more, but she swallowed her words back down.

He frowned slightly and whispered to Lu Qian: "Miss Lan is in the car! I came over to pick you up. She said she wanted to hitch a ride, and I couldn't refuse..."

Lu Qian's face changed slightly.

Lan Zimiao, like Lu Qian, majored in engineering. She was his junior during their studies.

... She was also his first love.

After Lu Qian took over the project, Miss Lan parachuted in. The meeting between former lovers was naturally different from others, but Lu Qian immediately checked her out.

Lan Zi Mei has three years of overseas work experience after graduation.

Although he hadn't figured out her background, he was certain she had been secretly sent by a foreign company.

Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat.

He was just about to instruct Ms. Liu when Miss Lan arrived. She had already spoken with Mr. Lu and met Mrs. Lu.

If it had been in the past, Old Mrs. Lu would have been delighted. But she knew that her son only had Mingzhu in his heart, so she was not as enthusiastic now.

Tea and water, all undrunk.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for your help," Miss Lan said softly.

Lu Qian's heart was in turmoil, but on the surface he remained as calm as ever, simply nodding his head very lightly.

He gave Liu the secretary a look.

Lily understood instantly.

At this moment, he felt a mixture of nervousness and admiration. Only Mr. Lu could perceive everything in such circumstances and make immediate decisions...

Yes, Mingzhu must have been kidnapped.

Ms. Lan, she's the spy.

But there were also people from the other company there. Liu's secretary immediately went out and sent an instruction out on her phone —

Kidnap Lan ZiMei!

After sending the message, he walked back nonchalantly with a smile and said, "Mr. Lu, Miss Lan, time is about up!"

Lu Qian nodded faintly.

Ms. Lan got into the car with him.

The atmosphere in the car was heavy with tension, and no one spoke, an unspoken battle raging between them.

When the car pulled up to the technology center, Lu Qian's phone rang. It was a strange number, and the voice on the other end was disguised: "Mr. Lu, hello!"

Lu Qian gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

But he wore an impassive expression, smiling: "What can I do for you"

The other party chuckled twice.

Then she hung up the phone and sent him a picture!

It was a photo that ripped Lu Qian's heart apart. His precious pearl was tied to a chair, her mouth sealed shut, and at her feet was the driver for the Lu family. They were in an abandoned warehouse.

Then, the phone rang again.

Mr. Lu should not have forgotten how Mr. and Mrs. Lu died, right It was because they were too stubborn. And Mr. Lu wasn't affectionate enough towards his wife either. Such a beautiful woman... it's truly a pity!

Lu Qian clenched his phone tightly.

For a moment, he said in a cold voice: "Just for a little girl to want information is a pipe dream! Do whatever you want!"

After that, he hung up the phone.

On the phone was a tall, dark man.

He was obviously taken aback, then looked at Huo Mingzhu.

According to Miss Lan's information, this woman is the sweetheart of someone surnamed Lu. It turns out that Lu doesn't care about her life or death at all...Damn it, people who sit in that position are indeed ruthless.

He didn't believe it and wanted to see red.

Someone stopped him; "Crazy This girl is from the Huo family!"

That man ground his teeth fiercely, caught a live chicken from outside, and chopped its head off right there, putting it in a plastic bag: "Deliver this to Mr. Lu."

At this moment, someone handed him the phone and whispered, "There's an order from above. They want to bring in the man named Lan. That woman is his ex-lover, Lu. Don't worry, he won't refuse to hand over the information!"

Last name Blue

The Black man froze. "Aren't those our own people"

The subordinate scratched his head: "It's an order from above!"

The burly man gritted his teeth and sneered, "So that woman named Lan thinks we're fools It turns out she slept with Mr. Lu too! Who knows, after sleeping with men, her heart might be with them!"tle head.Look at the pearl again.Eye contact, always profound.Though they went their separate ways, there was still a powerful relationship between them, as Ho Chun-tung put it, they still had to be r...
