She didn't expect Lu Wanggui to answer, but she didn't expect him to keep staring at her, which made her feel scared.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "???"
She looked at her outfit and then at the pouring rain outside. It suddenly dawned on her. In this weather, if his wife suddenly said that she was going out and didn't say what she was going out for, any man would be confused.
Therefore, Xiang Xiaoyuan opened her mouth and was about to explain to Lu Wanggui the reason for going out, but before she could say it, Lu Wanggui stood up and said with a complicated expression, "I'll go with you."
After saying that, he didn't give Xiang Xiaoyuan time to react and went straight to the cloakroom to change.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
He was going with her? Why? Does he know what she's going to do? And what's with his expression just now?
Lu Wanggui had changed into a light casual outfit. The gold-rimmed glasses made him look extremely refined. He no longer had the strong sense of oppression when he was wearing a suit. At this moment, he looked more like a scholar, it made Xiang Xiaoyuan involuntarily think of the professor who was particularly popular in his university days.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
She stared at Lu Wanggui for a long time without coming back to her senses.
"Let's go." Lu Wanggui walked past her and said in a slow and steady voice.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "!"
She was actually staring at Lu Wanggui's face with infatuation?!
Lu Wanggui leaving the house with her was enough to make people puzzled, but the more puzzling thing was still to come. The two of them went downstairs together. As soon as they opened the door, he said to her, "Just stand here and wait. I'll go and drive the car over."
Drive?
Drive what car?
The distance from the villa to the shop was so short, was there a need to drive? Rich people were not even willing to take these two steps?
Xiang Xiaoyuan's surprised expression was too obvious. Lu Wanggui could only explain to her, "At this time, the driver is already resting. My driving skills are not bad."
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
I'm not worried about your driving skills. I'm worried that your brain circuits are so lazy and that your leg muscles will atrophy in your later years.
Obviously, Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan were not on the same channel.
Lu Wanggui went to the garage to drive. Xiang Xiaoyuan stood at the entrance of the villa and watched the rain. The heavy rain in the summer night dispelled the stuffy heat. The air was filled with a faint smell of mud. It was not bad.
Bored, she reached out to catch the raindrops outside. The cold rain fell on her palm, giving Xiang Xiaoyuan a flash of realization... No Way? It couldn't be what she thought, right?
Not long after, Lu Wanggui drove over. After she sat in the passenger seat, the black car slowly drove out of the villa area, not stopping in front of her shop.
Due to the heavy rain, there were very few cars on the road. Xiang Xiaoyuan turned his head to look at Lu Wanggui. Time seemed to have a special preference for this man. He looked mature and steady, without any signs of aging.
So, what was her image in his heart? Was she a hypocrite or a fool?
Xiang Xiaoyuan traced the timeline in her mind. First, she received a Wechat message from Lu Bei's math teacher. She learned that Lu Bei had gone to an unsafe bar. After she told Lu Wanggui about this matter, she received a cold answer.
Think about what she did after she heard Lu Wanggui's answer? It was as if she was preparing to sleep under the blanket. This kind of behavior might have caused him to misunderstand that she was not satisfied with his indifference toward Lu Bei?
Later, when the rain poured down, she changed her clothes and went out without saying a word. Following this train of thought, it seemed that she could not hold back her worry about Lu Bei and was preparing to go out and pick him up personally?
Xiang Xiaoyuan could not help but hold her forehead. She could only say that this damn misunderstanding had forcefully lured to become a kind-hearted stepmother!
..
Lu Bei did not come to the bar alone. Wei Zihang and An Yu were also with him.
The three of them had always had a good relationship. It was not the first time Lu Bei and Wei Zihang had come to such a place, but it was the first time for An Yu. In the booth, An Yu watched Lu Bei drink one glass after another, and her beautiful face could not hide her worry.
"Don't worry, Lu Bei will be fine."
Wei Zihang saw her expression and smiled placatingly."The alcohol content is not high, so it tastes no different from fruit juice. Do you want a taste or something else?"
An Yu thought about it for a while. She felt that Lu Bei's current situation was because of her. If she had not taken the initiative to ask Lu Bei's stepmother to invite Uncle Lu for a parent-teacher meeting, Lu Bei would not have been so dispirited.
Technically speaking, she owed Lu Bei an apology, and also had the obligation to make Lu Bei feel better. 𝙛rℯ𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝓷o𝐯e𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
Thinking of this, she said to Wei Zihang, who was waiting for her answer, "I don't drink. You know how strict my family is. I can't drink the things in the KTV, and I can't even eat the fruits there, let alone in a bar."
Wei Zihang was speechless."Then what should we do? Not drink anything?"
