Chapter 818: Ye Bai, Never Come Back!
etely indifferent. His gaze on Wen Man held an undisguised liking.Even the blind could feel it!It just so happens that the next round, Jiang Rui won.The private room was eerily silent.Whoa! There's so...Over the next month, Lu You went on several more dates. Some were set up by her own mother and others by her aunt Wen Man. The men were all very good, but they just lacked that spark.
She felt that her relationship with Ye Bai was over.
But obviously, Ye Bai didn't feel that way.
He didn't know how he got her schedule, every time she went on a date he would appear, but he wouldn't go in and stop it like last time... He just stood outside and waited for her.
The rain of late autumn, persistent and endless.
When Lü Yōu came out of the restaurant, it was almost 9:30.
She didn't drive over, so the man she went on a blind date with offered to give her a ride... Because they had known each other since childhood, even if the blind date wasn't successful, Lu You didn't refuse. There was always some business dealings between their families anyway.
In the car, the atmosphere was alright.
But neither of them said anything.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the villa.
The man courteously stepped out of the car, opened the backseat door for Lu You, and smiled faintly as a farewell.
Lü Yōu also smiled faintly.
As she got off the car, her eyes lingered for a moment. She saw Ye Bai's car.
Turning around again, Ye Bai stood in the villa's foyer.
Holding an umbrella, he walked towards this way.
The blind date was dumbfounded, he looked at Lu You in surprise. Lu You tried her best to control herself and even managed a wry smile: "My ex-husband."
The man gave a knowing nod, then gentlemanly handed his umbrella to Lu You before getting into his car and driving away.
The black RV drove away slowly.
The rain of late autumn was still falling steadily.
Soaked Lu You's dress.
For dinner tonight, she was dressed especially beautiful, a long dress with a wool shawl over it... It was a bit cold outside, but she didn't move. She waited until Ye Bai walked up to her.
When she was a meter away, Lu You softly spoke—
"Can you let me go"
"Ye Bai, can you please let me go"
"You've been serving people at their bedsides, and it's been a month since I heard from you, Ye Bai... Can you please let me go! It doesn't mean we have to be together. Maybe we'd both be better off apart! I can find someone to live a peaceful life with or even date, and you... could go back abroad, without having to consider anyone's feelings, just take care of yourself."
……
Her tone became agitated, no longer calm and collected.
How could she stay calm This man, her former husband... he had said he loved her.
Lu You's eyes glistened with tears, but she held them back.
She brushed past him, her slender arm caught by his.
"Ye Bai finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "You seem to have a good impression of tonight's person"
Lu You didn't tell the truth.
She tilted her head slightly and said insincerely, "Yes! I like it very much! We should keep in touch... In the future, don't come over again. It wouldn't look good if others saw us, and don't let Xiao Luhui call you Dad anymore."
After that, she walked into the villa holding her umbrella.
The rain is still falling.
One inside, one in the rain...
Lu You thought, if there hadn't been that accident, they should be very happy now. But it happened, and that's it. There's no going back.
On the table, a feast of dishes.
It was specially made by Yè Bái for her.
Today wasn't the weekend, he rushed over to visit Xiao Luhui and cooked for her... He should be touching, but what does that even mean, a belated apology is worse than saying nothing.
Lu You didn't eat those.
As she went upstairs, she lowered her head and gently shook the water droplets from her skirt. The aunt couldn't help but advise: "Miss Lu, Mr. Ye..."
Lu You said in a flat tone, "Throw all this food away! And don't let him come over again."
Auntie feels sorry.
Ye Bai didn't leave immediately. He sat in the car, smoking... He looked up, and the lights on the second floor came on.
There wasn't a single ray of light shining on him.
The auntie came out with an umbrella, she stammered and spoke about Lu You's meaning, finally whispering: "Mr. Ye, please don't make it difficult for us. Miss Lu has always treated us well, and the salary is also very high."
Ye Bai understood.
He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, finished the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, then drove away from the villa.
Master bedroom.
Xiao Luhui wasn't asleep yet. Her Uncle Ye brought her a little wooden horse, and she was sitting on it, rocking back and forth, overjoyed.
There was an aunt accompanying her.
Lu You pushed open the door and Xiao Luhui called out to her happily, "Mama!" She didn't even want to get off her wooden horse.
Lu You took off her shawl.
She crouched down beside her daughter, slender fingers gently tracing the wood grain, a slight smile on her lips: “Was this from Uncle Ye”
Little Lu Hui hummed happily.
The little shoes tapped, still wobbling as she walked. She loved it so much.
The wooden horse also had holes drilled into it, strung with various beautiful little shells. On the edge, Ye Bai had even smoothed it out to prevent children from getting hurt.
It's really beautiful and delicate, and it was made with care.
Lu You stroked the little girl's head again.
Xiao Luhui felt happy.
She asked her mother, "Will Uncle Ye be coming tomorrow"
Lu You felt sad. Little Lu Hui was still young, and she couldn't explain the complicated relationship between her and Ye Bai to her... She could only tell her: "Uncle Ye has to go on a business trip and may not be able to come over for a while."
The little one sighed softly.
She felt a little sorry, she had just made plans with Aunt Qin to bake a big cake for Christmas and invite Uncle Ye to eat it together.
Because Uncle Ye can make turkey legs.
Xiaolu's mouth watered just thinking about it...
While the child was asleep, Lu You took a bath and relaxed by drawing comics. The Labrador retriever came over quietly...and lay down at her feet.
Lu You suddenly remembered, this was Ye Bai's dog, he hadn't taken it away.
Duoduo seems to have gotten used to life here.
It treated Lu You as its master.
It licked its paws comfortably, dark eyes watching Lu You. Lu You reached out to touch its dog's head...
Christmas came and went quietly.
< There is nothing special. >
Ye Bai had been gone for a while, and slowly, Xiao Luhui seemed to have forgotten him. She no longer thought about him every day... Lu You finally felt at ease.
She has considered buying a villa near her brother and his wife.
Perhaps family life would be more suitable for Little Lu Hui.
After the Gregorian calendar year, Lu You's comic "Three Little Bears" was signed by a multinational corporation and is preparing for full-scale development... Lu You did not ask for copyright fees, but she requested 20% of the profits.
The company's other businesses are also doing well.
Her business isn't huge, but she's doing quite well.
January 3rd,
The company team building event for Luyou Company was arranged by Assistant Zhang, but even with his help, Luyou was very tired after a day of activities.
Left the hotel late at night.
She pressed her forehead and got into the car, saying softly to the driver, "Take me home!"
She thought that by the time she got home, her inebriation should have worn off.
If Little Lu Hui hadn't gone to sleep yet, she could tell her a story and lull her to sleep. Remembering Little Lu Hui's appearance, Lu You's face wore a faint smile, very relaxed.
In the driver's seat, Ye Bai sat, gripping the steering wheel.
Fingers tightened slightly.
He could see Lu You in the rearview mirror, he saw her relaxed smile… He hadn't seen her like this for a long time. Since he came back, whenever she saw him, she always seemed cold and distant, always with thorns all around her.
He missed this kind of Lu You.
Ye Bai didn't speak. He looked at her quietly again and pressed the accelerator.
The car wasn't driving towards her villa, but to their old house... Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped. Lu You supported her forehead and was about to get out when she realized this place wasn't her home.
But she was at Ye Bai's and her former home.n. She looked at Gu Yunfan and said very softly, "Gu Yunfan, you saw it too! You kept saying you would compensate me, take care of me, but all you've brought me is endless trouble. So, Mr. Gu, could...
