o An was brushing his teeth, occasionally glancing at An Xiaotu, who was standing beside him and brushing her teeth too. He felt especially happy.The little one was even happier thinking about sleepin...After Mr. and Mrs. Tang finished their meal, Lu Yin and Holly's lives didn't change much.

After more than a week of getting to know each other, Holly had gotten used to the fact that Lu Yin was her husband, and she was also used to living with him under the same roof.

Lu Yin worked tirelessly from morning till night to ensure the smooth operation of the North City branch. Since he borrowed Rong Shen from the Tang family to look after He Li and hired a maid for cleaning, He Li's life was comfortable indeed. However, she found such a leisurely lifestyle boring and sought out activities to fill her time.

During that time, Lu Yin went back to Germany for work, staying for about half a month.

After everything was settled in Germany, I returned to North City.

Lu Yin had the key to the house, but usually Kelly was at home and liked to lock the door.

Seeing He Li open the door for him, Lu Yin's eyes flickered. He hadn't contacted her much in the past half month, mainly calling Rong's mother to inquire about her condition.

Before he met her, he didn't feel anything; now that he has seen her, he realizes he seems to…miss her a little.

Then he remembered how, after marrying Hayley, she had brought order to his chaotic life. For example, even though she was a morning person and he wasn't, she would prepare all his clothes for the day before bed and put them in the bathroom wardrobe. So he could get dressed straight away after showering in the mornings.

Habit is a terrible thing.

He had been to Germany several times, always ending up naked after taking off his clothes. He would stare blankly at the empty closet before remembering he wasn't in North City and reluctantly wrapping himself in a towel to find something to wear.

"Germany is handled for now." Lu Yin said as he walked into the room.

It was only past three in the afternoon, and Harry looked rather tired. Helly gestured to him: "Would you like to have something to eat and take a nap It might help adjust your time difference."

"Hmm." Lu Yin sat down on the sofa in the living room, casually placing his briefcase aside.

Holly said nothing more. She turned and went into the kitchen to get him a glass of water.

Then he said, ‘What would you like to eat I'll cook it for you.’

This afternoon, I went for a walk with my aunt and bought groceries for dinner.

"No, I don't have much of an appetite right now. I'm going to rest for a bit." Lu Yin handed her the empty cup, picked up his briefcase, and walked into the bedroom.

Although Lu Yin's attitude remained as cold as ever, Holly was in a good mood.

He was in Germany for half a month, and she missed him quite a bit. Although he didn't call or text her much, every time he called his aunt Rong, he would ask about her, and Aunt Rong would always tell him.

……

Lu Yin slept for a bit longer than usual.

Not until Rong Shen had finished cooking dinner did Holly come to wake him up for a meal.

After dinner, Lu Yin asked He Li to go for a walk with him outside.

As if she had just thought of something, Holly tugged at his sleeve and communicated with him in sign language: 'That... I've been bored these days, so I drew some clothing design sketches. You... need them'

She loved fashion and jewelry design, but after leaving him, she had no desire to create anything. Even when she picked up a pen, she didn't know what to draw.

During his time in Germany, she would pick up her pen and sketch fashion designs and jewelry designs every day after finishing her work.

Give her the illusion that designing clothing and jewelry is her real job, while interior design is just a part-time gig.

"If you're willing, I can restore your position as T Family's chief designer. You can paint whenever you want afterwards," Lu Yin said.

Holly pondered his words. Did that mean she could just draw when she felt like it And if she didn't want to draw, she didn't have to

Is this a privilege

When she was still the chief designer, she had a set amount of tasks for each quarter....

Hally shook her head, lowering her gaze and using sign language to tell him, 'I... Or maybe not, I can't draw that many pictures right now.'

She just wanted to… test the waters, see if she held any special significance for him now.

Because she suddenly thought of what An Xiaotu had told her before, something about successfully wooing Lu Yin, and then, unknowingly, she became greedy.

Lu Yin frowned, wanting to say something.

After a long silence, she said coldly, “I won't restore your position. You can paint whenever you have time. There are no task requirements, and I will pay you per piece.”

"...." Here.

Is this considered part-time

And this man's attitude, as always, was clear-cut between public and private. Even after marriage, he kept such a distinct separation. Whatever he might have felt for himself, perhaps something special, she had overthought it and imagined too much.

Holly nodded and didn't speak to him again.

Lu Yin secretly observed her, finding that her mood seemed a little downcast.

She couldn't help but ponder, was she dissatisfied with his arrangements for her But he had just offered to reinstate her position as chief designer, saying she could draw whenever she wanted and stop whenever she wanted. Wasn't she the one who had declined earlier on the grounds that she "couldn't draw that many pictures"

Now he's taking back what he said before, and she's unhappy again.

What on earth is she trying to do

Lu Yin's heart was a little irritated: Women, troublesome!

Holly was just feeling down about her own infatuation, and didn't know what Lu Yin was thinking. She didn't even notice that Lu Yin seemed to be brooding over something.

Both of them remained silent, walking outside for about forty minutes before returning together.

Hally's self-healing ability was strong, and she quickly adjusted her emotions.

Back home, I quickly showed Lu Yin the clothing design drawings.

Soon after, Holly received a text message from her mobile bank, notifying her that she had received a deposit.

Lu Yin was in her study at this moment. She stared at the bank text message for a long time without seeing Lu Yin send any messages to explain.

She thought for a long time, then sent an WeChat message to An Xiaotu: Little Rabbit, are you there

After about ten minutes, An Xiaotu replied to her message.

A little salted fish: "Here I am, what's up"

After some deliberation, Heley said: "I feel... I don't know how to say it. Lu Yin's attitude towards me is still like that of superior and subordinate."

She thought a little pessimistically: love is something that humans can't control, just like herself. She knew she shouldn't be so persistent with Lü Yin, but she couldn't help it.

She felt: Some people, without that thread of fate, might spend their whole lives trying to make the other person like them, but it's impossible.

A little salted fish: How come you say that What did Lu Yin do

Hē Lì hesitated for a moment, then handed her dress design to Lü Yǐn. Lü Yǐn, in turn, recounted to An Xiǎo Tù what Hē Lì owed him, detailing it clearly.

On the phone, An Xiaotu thought for a long time, trying to figure out how to say it.

A small salted fish: Uh… this does sound like something Lu Yin would do. of it" 。He hesitated for a second before answering truthfully. 。An Xiaotu tightened her grip on the sleeve of his pajamas, her crying voice trembling with despair. "You, you... when did you know""I'...
