The return of the rich and powerful family

Chapter 24 A Quite a Failure

Shen Qingxi turned her head in a daze, then, without warning, bumped into Lu Jingxing's dark and deep eyes, unable to look away for a while.

"Why are you here?" Lu Jingxing stared at her and asked indifferently.

"Passing by." Shen Qingxi regained consciousness, and replied casually.

She bent the corners of her lips, and her smile was a little far-fetched.

Lu Jingxing closed his eyes and looked at her thoughtfully.

There was a brief silence between each other.Only the crackling sound of rainwater falling on the umbrella surface became extraordinarily clear.The sound of the rain became more and more urgent, and there was a tendency to pour it down.

"Second Young Master Lu, is it convenient for me to come up and sit down?" After a brief stalemate, Shen Qingxi broke the silence first, with a pair of black grape-like pupils, as clean and clear as ever.

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything, he put his arm lightly on her shoulder, and led her up the steps.

Shen Qingxi followed his footsteps, no one spoke, the clear smell of cologne floated in the air, mixed with a faint scent of tobacco.

The two walked into the duplex apartment one after the other.

The decoration of the apartment is modern and minimalist, with darker tones, which is the same as its owner's temperament.

Standing in the middle of the living room on the first floor, Shen Qingxi suddenly felt as if she had passed away.

Once, she lived here for more than a year. She replaced the dark solid wood sofa in the living room with an elegant fabric sofa, and the curtains were replaced with bright colors. She added many small decorations to make her own things Blend into this home.

Now that I think about it, it's really a bit nondescript.

It's hard for Second Young Master Lu to bear it.

"The bathroom is on the second floor." Lu Jingxing said softly, and walked straight into the kitchen.

Shen Qingxi nodded, walked through the solid wooden stairs, and walked into the large bathroom.

She was drenched and couldn't take a bath here.

After all, they are no longer husband and wife, but just acquaintances.It is really inappropriate for her to take a bath in a single man's house.

Shen Qingxi took off the towel from the shelf in the bathroom, and simply wiped the water on his head and body.

He put on a towel and went downstairs.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, the man stood with his hands behind his back, with a cigarette between the two fingers of his left hand, but it was not lit.

Shen Qingxi subconsciously stopped and looked at him silently.

His tall figure was reflected on the huge window glass, so handsome and haughty, so natural that even the river of fireworks outside the window became his background and foil.

As if aware of her presence, Lu Jingxing turned his head, gave her an indifferent look, and casually pointed to the steaming ginger syrup on the tea table, "Drink it."

Two short words, Lu Ershao really cherishes words like gold.

A glass of ginger syrup into the stomach dispelled a lot of chills.

Shen Qingxi put the empty cup back on the tea table, then walked to the French window.

Lu Jingxing's apartment is located on the twentieth floor, with a good view.It was still raining outside the window, and there were faint waves on the river.

In the past, she liked to stand here and watch the river view, and the fishing boat singing at night, as if it could make people find their belongings.

But no matter the past life or present life, she has not found the final belonging, thinking about it is really quite a failure.

Shen Qingxi sighed softly.

"You're in a bad mood?" Lu Jingxing asked indifferently. Holding a delicate lighter in his hand, he casually lit a cigarette.A wisp of white smoke slowly scattered in the air along the slender fingertips, giving people an unreal feeling.

Shen Qingxi brushed her long wet hair, and replied with a little self-mockery: "It's not very good. I'm probably always foolish to hope for things that don't belong to me, and it's just mediocrity."

In her previous life, she just expected too much, father's love, the man in front of her, and... love.

Probably because of lack of greed, it ended up not ending well.

Lu Jingxing took a puff of his cigarette, and a faint smog filled the air, blurring people's vision.

Shen Qingxi didn't know if he was looking at her, she thought, Lu Jingxing probably couldn't understand it.

The lofty Second Young Master Lu doesn't have the word "extravagant hope" in his life dictionary.

What he thinks is not worth it will be decisively discarded, and what he wants must be obtained.

Therefore, they are people from two worlds from the beginning to the end.

"Sorry to bother you today. I should go." Shen Qingxi said.

Lu Jingxing flicked the cigarette on his fingertips, looked at her indifferently, did not speak, and did not hold her back.

Shen Qingxi pursed her red lips slightly, turned around and walked towards the door, then reached out and opened the door.

The door of the apartment opened, but there was a man standing outside the door, raising his arm to ring the doorbell.

When Su Mingjue saw Shen Qingxi who suddenly appeared, he looked like he had seen a ghost, "Did I go to the wrong door?"

After he finished speaking, he poked his head to look in, and happened to see Lu Jingxing inside.

Then, Su Mingjue's eyes fell on Shen Qingxi again, obviously a little more searching and scrutinizing.
