After she died, Mr. Bo knelt in front of the tombstone and cried like a dog.

Nan Chu's stomach growled.

The two looked at each other for half a second, and said in unison: "Let's eat first!"

Lu Zhilu called the front desk and asked the housekeeping department to deliver the meal.

The lunch at this hotel is quite sumptuous, with Michelin-starred New Hong Kong-style food, free-range chicken with black truffles, and barbecued pork buns with oyster sauce, which is very much to Nan Chu's liking.

As she was cutting into the beef Wellington and enjoying the meal, she got some sauce on the corner of her mouth.

Lu Zhilu wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin and asked casually, "When do you plan to finish your work in Shenzhen?"

She hadn't even finished chewing the steak in her mouth when confusion flashed in her eyes. "Ending my work in Shenzhen? Why?"

Lu Zhilu glanced at her sideways, "How can you see Lu Ruzhuo if you don't go back to the capital? Besides, aren't we on the road to remarriage now? We can't live apart after marriage, right?"

Nan Chu actually hadn't thought about all this yet. She agreed to give it a try with him, but she hadn't really thought about remarrying, at least for now.

She put down her fork and props, took a breath and said, "I think it's fine for us to be like this now. I can fly to the capital on Saturdays and weekends to see the kids, or if you're free, you can bring the kids to Shenzhen to play."

This time it was Lu Zhilu who was puzzled: "What is this? An open relationship? Since you decided to do this, why do you care whether my grandfather agrees with us being together? If you want to do this, my grandfather won't care about us at all."

Speaking of this, Nan Chu lowered his eyes slightly, pinched the tablecloth with his fingers and said: "I don't care whether your grandfather agrees or not. It doesn't matter if he disagrees. If you don't want to remarry, then don't remarry. My mother stayed in the marriage for decades, and she was freed on the day Nan Jianan died. I think it's good not to get married."

"You like me, and I like you too. When you are free and I am free, we can make a date and have a relationship."

"When you don't like me, or I don't like you, when you are not free and I am not free, then it's okay to end it. No matter how our relationship changes, you are still Lu Ruzhuo's father, and I am still his mother."

After she finished speaking, she added: "But this is considered a formal relationship. I cannot accept that you have other women at the same time. If you don't want to, then we will..."

Lu Zhilu looked at her, silent for a long while, and slowly asked: "Are you angry or serious?"

She said, "Seriously. I can't quit my job and go back to the capital for you or the kids. I've only been at Shenzhen Satellite TV for two months, and it's just getting started. I get along well with my colleagues here, and I don't want to be forced to change jobs frequently."

"I used to be an entertainment reporter for many years. Apart from a decent undergraduate degree, I don't have much experience. You know, Shenzhen Satellite TV is where I started. I have only worked there for a month. If I go back to the capital with you now, I am sure I won't be able to get a job at the Capital Satellite TV. The requirements of the Capital Satellite TV are much higher than those of the Shenzhen Satellite TV. I have inquired and the chief news reporters there all have a master's degree or above."

"I know that if I really go back with you, your Lu family can easily get me into the Imperial Capital TV station with just one word, but what if you are unhappy? What if we separate? Because of the job you and the Lu family found, will I still have the face to continue working there?"

Because of Ji Yang's matter these days, they have been on a thrilling road.

She had never talked to him so seriously about her thoughts and the future, but now, everything she said came from her heart.

Lu Zhilu said: "After we remarry, we will never separate again. Nanchu, do you feel insecure? Then tell me what to do so that you can feel safe? Or does it take time to test it?"

Nan Chu shook his head. "This has nothing to do with whether I feel safe or not. Even if you give me enough sense of security now, I can't resign and go back to the capital with you."

"Lu Zhilu, during the past six months since we separated, I realized that I can live without you, but I can't live without my job. You want me to give up my current good job for you. Sorry, I can't do it."

After she finished saying this.

Lu Zhilu took a deep breath, and his breath became much heavier, but he didn't respond for a long time.

Nan Chu looked at the time and the lunch break was almost over.

She stood up and said, "If you don't want to, then let's forget it. I have to go back to work."

The words "forget it" again.

Lu Zhilu sat there, watching her leave the suite with her bag. His face darkened, and he finally chased after her and grabbed her wrist: "Besides 'forget it', what else can you say? It was divorce before, and now it's forget it. You really want to forget it with me, right?"

Nan Chu met his questioning gaze and said, "I do like you, but I don't want to quit my job and go back to the capital with you. If you insist on me doing this, then I really want to end it with you."

"Just like you like me, you can't abandon the Lu family. Sometimes I feel that we are actually the same people. You said that love is not everything to you. Now I also find that survival is far more important than love. Thank you for teaching me this lesson."

After saying these words, Nan Chu left the hotel.

Lu Zhilu stood in the suite, stiff for a long while, and finally, he fell down and sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed so hard that they could kill a mosquito.

……

Lu Zhilu took the afternoon flight back to the imperial capital.

Originally, he came back this time to talk to the old man about remarrying Nan Chu, but is it necessary to talk now? He has never thought about remarrying.

Talk about shit.

He went to the baby room and held Lu Ruzhuo for a while. He made milk for Lu Ruzhuo, and only after the child drank the milk and fell asleep did he feel better.

Turned around and came out, sitting on the backyard swing and smoking.

He held a cigarette in one hand and replied to work messages from the law firm on his phone with the other.

After replying to the work message, I remembered something and clicked on Lao Bo's dialog box: [I remember that Qiao Yu seemed to have stayed in South City for a while and refused to come back with you? How did he come back later? ]

Bo Hanshi: [? I didn’t refuse. You remembered it wrongly.]

Lu Gou: [I remember correctly! ]

Bo Gou: [No, why are you asking this? Nan Chu is staying in Shenzhen and doesn't want to come back with you?]

Lu Gou: ...

Lu Gou: [Will you tell me or not? ]

Bo Gou: [Transfer.]

Lu Gou: [? ? ? 】

Bo Gou: [I can’t teach you the secret for free. I don’t want to be a free teacher.]

Lu Gou:... Damn, this is my brother!

[Mr. Bo, are you short of this little money? ]

The other party was particularly calm and composed: [It’s bad, Bo Junxing never has too much money for milk powder. ]

"..."

Lu Gou: [Transfer 10,000]

Bo Gou: [A little less?]

The opposite dog is not okay...

Lu Gou: [Transfer 20,000 yuan]

Bo Gou: [Later, Yuyu was on a business trip in Jinshi, and I went to see her and stayed with her for a few days. After she settled her affairs in Jinshi, she returned to the capital on her own. She was not unwilling to come back. Our situations were different.]

Lu Gou: [??? You are playing tricks on me]
