Lu Juyan looked at Gu Li's puzzled gaze, placed one hand on Du Yanqing's waist, and pulled her into his embrace. Putting a kiss on her lips, she coldly glanced at Gu Li, and said with an overbearing tone: "She's mine!"

The dragonfly kiss lightly touched the water and caused Du Yanqing's heart to become anxious. Her originally stiff body suddenly softened a bit, as she was at a loss about what to do with Lu Juyan's sudden domineering attitude. The spot where Lu Juyan had touched her waist was secretly heating up, causing her cheeks to redden slightly as a trace of bashfulness flashed past her eyes.

The ripples in his heart made Du Yanqing not speak up to expose Lu Juyan, and she coordinated with him as if she was in a mess. She obediently leaned into his embrace, wanting to enjoy this warmth.

"I wish you happiness!"

Gu Li's heart suddenly had a tinge of sadness. He wanted to go closer to Du Yanqing, but he realized that he appeared too late. Facing Lu Juyan's vigilant gaze, his stiff face hooked up into a smile of blessing, and he spoke indifferently.

He, who was in the Buddhist mental state, did not plan to compete fairly with Lu Juyan, so he naturally chose to leave, and did not disturb the time the two of them spent together. It was not that Gu Li gave up so easily, but Du Yanqing's happiness at the moment was enough.

It was unknown if it was because Gu Li looked a little sad when he smiled, or because Lu Juyan's actions were too domineering, causing Du Yanqing's thoughts to clear up. He vaguely felt that the actions between the two were too intimate, and an uncomfortable feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart once again.

Without saying a word, Du Yanqing immediately took Lu Juyan's hands off her waist and walked a few steps to the side, maintaining a certain distance from her, as if her actions just now were not done by her.

"What did you mean?"

In that moment, Du Yanqing's originally bashful face was covered with a layer of ice. There was a hole in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. It was as if he was hypnotized by something. He pretended to be puzzled to hide the panic in her heart.

Lu Juyan retracted his hand in embarrassment, and faced Du Yanqing's clear eyes, the corner of his mouth lifted into an evil and charming smile. She kept getting closer and closer to her, and she kept backing off.

When Du Yanqing's back hit Lu Juyan's car, he once again extended his hand out and stuck on the wall. He lowered his head to her shoulder and whispered into her ear, "Just like you thought!"

Close proximity allowed Lu Juyan to clearly see any of the fluctuating emotions on Du Yanqing's face. He looked at the hair that was floating behind her head and gently lifted it behind her ear. The rhythm of his heart throbbed much faster than usual, allowing Lu Juyan to clearly understand what he wanted to say.

His fingertips grazed Du Yanqing's somewhat cold face, and an inexplicable numbness made it seem as though his hand had lost all of its strength. Just as he was about to confess, he was interrupted by Du Yanqing.

"I suddenly remembered that the company has an emergency for me to go back, let's go back!"

Du Yanqing looked at the enlarged face in front of her, a flustered look flashed past her eyes, the rhythm of her heartbeat continued to accelerate, and she was inexplicably unwilling to face such an emotion. His thoughts worked quickly, and blurted out before Lu Juyan could say anything. He intentionally pushed Lu Juyan away from her, and walked to the side, and called his secretary, as if there was something important.

It was unknown whether it was because Sun Jiangyuan's betrayal had left a deep impression on her, or because she felt that the distance between her and Lu Juyan was too far, and that the beat of the retreating drum in her heart was also constantly ringing.

The screen on her phone didn't even light up when she placed it by her ear. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Lu Juyan with some vigilance, afraid that she would be attacked.

Obviously, Du Yanqing's performance was filled with flaws, and Lu Juyan very much swallowed the words that he was about to blurt out. He took out the car keys from his pocket and unlocked the car door. Then, he said lightly, "I'll take you back to the company."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked toward the driver's seat, a complicated expression on his cold face that made him momentarily at a loss for what to do. A dejected feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, causing him to feel a sense of fatigue, but he never thought of giving up.

Du Yanqing pretended to hang up the phone, opened the car door and went in. After tying up his seat belt, he directly looked out the window.

The two of them were very quiet along the way. The interior of the car was as silent as the road from home to the Shen family. There were no songs coming from the broadcast system, which made Du Yanqing's heart feel as if it was on fire. She really wanted to shorten the journey and quickly leave this place. She was clearly able to obtain happiness by piercing through that layer of paper, but she did not dare to approach it.

"I'll stop the car."

Lu Juyan had been paying attention to Du Yanqing's expression from the corner of his eyes the entire time. He only felt as if something had blocked his heart, making him want to quickly gallop onto the road. After he stopped his car at the Yanqing Company entrance, he opened his mouth and spoke indifferently, indicating for Du Yanqing to go upstairs first.

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Juyan's phone started to vibrate again. His cold face did not reveal any expression, and he allowed the phone to vibrate non-stop. Along the way, the phone's ringtone had basically not stopped since the first time it rang, and after the third ring, it was set to vibrate by Lu Juyan.

Glancing at Lu Juyan's expression, Du Yanqing felt a tinge of worry in his heart, but he did not say anything more. She obediently undid her seat belt, opened the car door, and walked out. Biting her lips, she walked upstairs, secretly hypnotizing herself: We're not suitable, we're not suitable …

Lu Juyan watched from the rearview mirror as Du Yanqing entered the company. He stepped on the brakes and slowed down. As he pulled to the side of the road, he turned on the emergency light. He picked up the cell phone that was continuously vibrating, and pressed the answer button. Before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice from inside, "Lu Juyan, come back here, let's have a good chat!"

Hearing Lu Yuqiu's slightly angry tone, he felt as if he was gritting his teeth. The corner of his lips curled up into a sneer. There was no intent to resist in his eyes. He just gave a faint "hmm" without saying anything. He knew what it meant to go back, but the emotions in his heart made him want to find a beating.

In the sky, the dark clouds had superimposed over each other, obscuring the blue sky. The cold wind blew the dry leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound, like a beautiful melody. The stuffy air seemed to be squeezing something, as calm as before the storm.
