Lu Mingyue clenched her hands tightly, her heart was stabbed in pain, her face turned pale.

Shame, regret, grievance... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and I froze in place for a moment, not knowing whether I should catch up.

Jiang Li stayed in the room until it was time to eat. During this period, Lu Mingyue sat in the living room on the first floor, reflecting on all the things between her and Jiang Li.

The more I think about it, the more ashamed I become, and the more I think about it, the more timid I become.

For a moment, he was afraid to face Jiang Li.

I just came back from Haicheng yesterday. It was too late and the old man and grandma didn't go back to the old residential area. They stayed here for two days, and the four of them ate dinner together.

At the dinner table, the two old men were chatting and laughing, Jiang Li and Lu Mingyue said very little today, only when they were called, they pretended to be nonchalant and raised their smiling faces to respond.

The two tacitly did not bring the conflict to the old man.

Back in the room, Jiang Li didn't joke with her as usual, and handled business with a cold face and without raising his head.

Lu Mingyue wanted to say something a few times, but was held back by his busy fingers and indifferent expression.

Forget it, let's talk about it after he finishes his work...

The waiting time was tormented, and when Jiang Li finally put down the computer and rubbed his brows to get up, Lu Mingyue immediately got up from the bed and grabbed him.

"You wait, let's talk."

Jiang Li stopped and looked down at the corner of the clothes she was holding, and when he raised his eyes, his expression was calm, "What do you want to talk about?"

Lu Mingyue lowered her head guiltily, "...I'm sorry."

"I've thought about what you said this afternoon for a long time. It's indeed my fault. I didn't tell you immediately. But I didn't come to you only when I was desperate, as you said. I just didn't want to trouble you. .”

Speaking of this, her tone was a little eager, "I never meant to treat you as a tool, I just think that if I can solve these things myself, I don't need to bother you, because I know that it will cost you favors to help me—— "

"Why do I need you to be so considerate of me?!" Jiang Li burst out, and couldn't help but force her to raise her head by pinching Lu Mingyue's jaw. , Did I tell you that I’m not afraid of your troubles? I don’t care about your little things! What labor and management want is your sincerity!”

In Lu Mingyue's exclamation, Jiang Li gritted his teeth with dark eyes and said:

"Am I not honest enough with you? Labor and management are so close to showing you their heart, even if it is a stone, it should be melted!"

"How many times have I told you that I can solve any problems for you. You didn't hear Lu Mingyue once? I didn't remember me until the end. Your sister Man and brother Sun knew about these things before me. , I don’t know who is the closest person to you.”

Lu Mingyue shook her head, her heart ached, she explained inexplicably: "It's not like this..."

Jiang Li stopped looking at her, exhaled heavily, stood up and let go.

"Don't say I'm sorry, you didn't do anything wrong. I just think you need to calm down and think about what the meaning of my existence in this relationship is."

"Lu Mingyue, I'll give you three days. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, forget it."

"Indeed, I am very superior to you, and I am willing to pay for you. But if these gestures of mine can only cause you pressure in your eyes, then I will let you go. Go and pursue the life you want, As we agreed before, we will separate when the time is right."

"All the things I promised you before will remain the same. Even if you leave me, you can still live a good life. This is considered as compensation for your compromise during this period of time."

After finishing speaking, he gently pulled out the corner of the clothes that Lu Mingyue was clutching, and said coldly: "Until you make up your mind, you don't need to explain to me again. I will sleep on the sofa tonight."

After washing up, Jiang Li really did what he said and slept on the sofa all night.

All night, Lu Mingyue had trouble falling asleep, tossing and turning until five or six o'clock, when there was movement from the sofa.

Lu Mingyue immediately sat up and turned to look, Jiang Li had already gotten up.

Seeing her wake up, Jiang Li didn't intend to greet her, and went into the bathroom.

Lu Mingyue didn't say anything, just hugged the quilt silently and watched him move.

Jiang Li looked at her curled up figure through the bathroom mirror, and his hands froze.

Then I closed my eyes and told myself cruelly: I can't be soft-hearted.

There are too many problems between him and Lu Mingyue. If the current state is maintained, no matter how much enthusiasm he has, it will be wiped out sooner or later.

No matter how sad Lu Mingyue was, she was only a lot more sad than her.However, he wants an answer.

After washing up with a blank face, he changed into the clothes he would wear to the company and brought them to the door. He said to Lu Mingyue, "There are a lot of things in the company these days, so I won't be coming back. When you think about it, call me."

Lu Mingyue was startled, and just about to say something, Jiang Li had already closed the door and went out, so she held back her words.

For two days, Jiang Li did not come back.

If it wasn't for the fact that he occasionally replied to his own messages on WeChat, Lu Mingyue really thought that he was planning to break up with her.

As Jiang Li said, the matter of the flower shop was settled the next day.Sister Man was overjoyed to call her in the morning and said that the flower shop can now open normally, and the fire department politely withdrew the closure notice for them, and said it was all a misunderstanding.

Lu Mingyue was not happy at all.

Even the old man saw that something was wrong with her, and asked Jiang Li in private, "Did you quarrel with the girl? She couldn't eat for the past two days, and she looked listless."

Jiang Li's hand holding the pen paused, but in the end he didn't hide it from him, "There are some problems between me and her that need to be resolved, so don't bother with this matter, I know it well."

"You have a lot of farts!" The old man cursed, "Mingyue is such a good child, she speaks and does things in a leisurely manner. I have never seen her blush with anyone. If she can quarrel with you, it must be your kid." It's wrong to offend her."

"I won't listen to your useless nonsense! Hurry up, come back tonight and coax the girl well, or you will see if I will slap you!"

Jiang Li rubbed the center of his brows, and his tone was a little irritable, "Why can't it be her who provoked me? Grandpa, you are too partial."

"She messed with you, what can she mess with you? Even if she messed with you, you have such a big body and you pretend to be as big as a needle's eye? How old are you and she is a woman who cares about every detail. To be a man, you have to tolerate your own wife. What man!"

Jiang Li: ...

"I won't quarrel with you. The day after tomorrow at the latest. If she still behaves like this, it won't be too late for you to come and ask me about her crimes."

Not giving his grandfather a chance to make trouble unreasonably, Jiang Li hung up the phone directly.

Thinking of his grandfather's protection and praise for Lu Mingyue on the phone just now, Jiang Li gave a wry smile.

Everyone thinks that Lu Mingyue has a good temper, but only herself in the game knows how hurtful her meek personality really is.

He can accept Lu Mingyue's slowness and not liking him enough, but she can't always keep him out of her heart like this.

99 steps can be taken, the premise is that Lu Mingyue has the courage to take that step towards him.
