Chapter 210: Not Sleeping Well

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

She had just woken up and her hair was a little messy. Under her long eyelashes were a pair of big watery eyes, and there was a hint of a smile at the corners of her upturned eyes.

In those few seconds when he looked into Meng Chuyuan’s eyes, his pupils seemed to dilate infinitely. His mind ran wild at the scene in front of him. It was not until Meng Chuyuan moved slightly and was about to get up that Lu Qingye was pulled back to reality.

He moved his hand down and pulled up the blanket on Meng Chuyuan’s shoulder to cover her. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and his voice was magnetic and gentle. “Then sleep for a while longer. I’ll go to the company.”

Meng Chuyuan lowered her eyes slightly. Her gaze fell on the fair and slender hand at the edge of the blanket. A small part of it was hidden under the blanket. Her gaze was focused on the silver ring, and her expression was unreadable.

After a while, she slowly looked up and said lazily, “I’m hungry. I want to eat something before sleeping.”

“Oh.” Lu Qingye immediately released the blanket and let go. He stood up and the shadow that fell on Meng Chuyuan left with him.

When Meng Chuyuan lifted the blanket and got up, Lu Qingye squatted down, found her slippers, and placed them at her feet.

“Are you in a hurry? If you’re not, why don’t we eat together?” Meng Chuyuan put on her shoes and raised her hand to smooth back the hair on her forehead. She looked up at Lu Qingye.

He was about to leave, but before he could say anything, he heard Meng Chuyuan ask him to stay for breakfast. Their eyes met, and he agreed without much hesitation.Please visit 𝓃𝑜vel-𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

She patted her face lightly and said leisurely, “Then wait for a while. I’ll wash up.”

Meng Chuyuan washed up and went downstairs. Lu Qingye was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He held a computer in one hand and was working seriously with his head lowered.

Seeing that he had something to deal with, Meng Chuyuan deliberately walked around the hall to the kitchen. She steamed some corn and eggs for breakfast, made a plate of milk muffins, and prepared hot milk.

Coincidentally, when Meng Chuyuan brought the food to the dining table, Lu Jinsen walked down the stairs fully dressed.

Lu Jinsen was surprised to see Lu Qingye sitting calmly in the living room, dressed in formal attire. “Brother, why are you still dressed like this at home?”

The next second, it was not Lu Qingye who answered him, but Meng Chuyuan’s voice from the dining room. “Breakfast is ready.”

“…” Lu Jinsen was wondering if Lu Qingye was not going to the office today. When he saw Meng Chuyuan’s expression, he seemed to understand something.

He replied softly, “No.”

In the afternoon, Lu Qianling specially went home.

As Lu Jinsen had told her about Lu Qingye’s return to the country, she rushed back immediately after waking up and did not even have lunch.

Lu Qianling had just arrived home when she saw Meng Chuyuan leisurely drawing in the pavilion in the courtyard. She walked up and sat down beside Meng Chuyuan. Her expression was slightly gossipy. “My elder brother came back last night?”

“You’re quite well informed.”

“Of course.” Lu Qianling patted her chest and said with some self-satisfaction, “I also heard that you chased my brother out of the room in the middle of the night. Is this true?”

Meng Chuyuan was painting the scenery of the courtyard. When she heard Lu Qianling’s words, her hand could not help but tremble. She dipped her brush into the paint of the wrong palette and accidentally dyed the white paint green.

She frowned and asked coldly, “Who did you hear that from?”

What did she mean by chasing Lu Qingye out?

Before she went to bed, she had even helped Lu Qingye get a pillow and blanket and laid them out for him to use.

“No?” Lu Qianling scratched her head, her eyes filled with doubt. “That shouldn’t be the case, right? Second Brother wouldn’t lie to me, right?”

“He told you?” Meng Chuyuan pursed her lips, her expression revealing disdain.

She had not seen Lu Jinsen the entire night yesterday. When she woke up this morning, she bumped into him in the living room. However, he seemed to have something on and left in a hurry.

“That’s right. He told me that when he came home in the middle of the night last night, he saw Big Brother coming out of his room in the corridor and going straight to the study. Wasn’t it you who chased him out?”

Meng Chuyuan’s eyes were dark, and her expression was mixed with complicated emotions. She said calmly, “That bedroom belongs to your brother. If anyone were to be chased out, it would be me.”

However, when she heard Lu Qianling suddenly mention this, Meng Chuyuan realized that Lu Qingye had gotten up and left the bedroom last night.

No wonder when she woke up today and saw Lu Qingye, there were dark circles under his eyes. When she asked him how he slept, he seemed to hesitate.

“That’s true… Back then, I was the one who let you stay there.” Lu Qianling chuckled and gritted her teeth. “Second Brother has become bad. He actually started to spread rumors about others.”
