The woman was wearing a warm-colored sweater on her upper body, fluffy cotton trousers on her lower body, and a loose ponytail on the back of her head. With her face up to the sky, she was as well-behaved as a little wife who was waiting for her other half to come back.

Lu Xi thought he was the one waiting for him.

But Xiaojiao's wife said that she had an appointment with someone and was going out soon.

After listening to her words, the curve of the corners of Lu Xi's mouth slowly flattened, his eyes sank slightly, and he stared at her with fixed eyebrows, without making a sound.

Aunt Zhao felt that her surroundings became thinner. She looked at Lu Xi who was surrounded by low air pressure, and then at Si Yu who had a relaxed expression, and said cautiously, "Miss Si, you want to go out?"

"Yes." Si Yu smiled and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Aunt Zhao, and said, "You two eat slowly, try not to waste it."

Before they could react, Si Yu turned around and jumped up to the second floor, and went into the room to change clothes.

Aunt Zhao instantly felt that the porcelain bowl in her hand weighed a thousand catties, and she carefully looked at Lu Xi's face: "Miss Lu, this is..."

Lu Xi looked at a certain room on the second floor with unpredictable eyes, and his pretty lips were pursed into a straight line.

Aunt Zhao felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she shut up in time.

"Ding-dong-"

Si Yu was humming a song to find clothes when the phone rang, picked it up, and clicked on the voice message from Xiao Xia: "Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, are you leaving yet?"

Si Yu replied to her: "I'm changing clothes now, don't rush."

After changing his clothes, Si Yu quickly put on light makeup, then put on a cute bun, and went downstairs with his coat.

At the dining table, Lu Xi and Aunt Zhao sat facing each other, with different expressions.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Aunt Zhao stood up, looked at Si Yu, who made people's eyes bright, and said, "Miss Si, are you in such a hurry to leave?" She looked at Lu Xi who was opposite .

Lu Xi looked at Si Yu without saying a word, and slowly swept her eyes from head to toe, noticing that she had changed into a fitted sweater that showed her figure, and tight pencil pants that showed her legs, her makeup was just right, and her shiny lips Honey makes her look fresh and delicious.

Who on earth did she have an appointment with that required her to dress herself up like this?

Lu Xi frowned, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't ask her.

Si Yu felt her scrutiny, looked at her calmly, smiled, and said, "I almost forgot to tell you happy birthday."

hapiness?

"..." Lu Xi pursed his thin lips tightly.

Si Yuquan pretended not to see, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, goodbye."

After the bright color left, the whole house was eclipsed.

Aunt Zhao is a bit regretful now, she would have asked for leave to go home with her daughter if she knew about it.But after thinking about it, wouldn't it be desolate if he left Lu Xi alone?

Looking at the four dishes and one soup covered with a thermal insulation cover on the table, Aunt Zhao was at a loss.

Today, Si Yu went shopping with her suddenly on a whim, and when he said that Lu Xi was going to cook for Lu Xi himself for his birthday, Aunt Zhao thought that the relationship between the two had reached a new level, and she was very happy about it for a long time.

Seeing Si Yu seriously cooking, Aunt Zhao wondered why she has such a virtuous wife, Miss Lu Xi is so happy.

As a result, Si Yu never expected that Si Yu would run away just like that after carefully cooking a table of dishes.

With her ability to read words and expressions, Aunt Zhao could sense that something was wrong between Si Yu and Lu Xi.But looking at Lu Xi's expression, she didn't even have the courage to ask for 100 million.

Aunt Zhao didn't spend much time with Lu Xi. Although Lu Xi was very polite and friendly to her, it gave people a sense of alienation.She suddenly didn't know how to communicate with the hostess, she wanted to say something nice for Si Yu to comfort Lu Xi, but she was afraid that she would do something bad with good intentions.

Lu Xi stared at the door connecting the living room and the garage for a full half a minute, then retracted his gaze, saw Aunt Zhao who was sitting on pins and needles opposite, and said silently, "It's okay, we will eat by ourselves."

Aunt Zhao saw that she didn't seem to be okay at all, so she didn't dare to say much, so she lifted the lid nervously and helped her fill the soup.

Lily lotus seed soup, delicious and nourishing.

"It's delicious." Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Xi picked up a piece of ribs with a blank expression, put it in his mouth gracefully, chewed and swallowed with a blank expression.Then change to another one.

Aunt Zhao didn't dare to speak anymore.She tasted those dishes one by one, and had to say that Si Yu's cooking skills were not bad.

This level is obviously not the first time to do it, but in Aunt Zhao's impression, Si Yu has never been in the kitchen.But now is not the time to worry about these things.

Aunt Zhao ate deliciously, but Lu Xi's expression was as numb as a machine. I don't know if it was because of his unsatisfactory appetite, or because of other reasons that he didn't know what to eat.

Aunt Zhao felt like an old mother worrying about her heart. She hoped that the young couple would be well, but it was difficult for an outsider to intervene.

This was the most tasteless meal that Lu Xi had ever eaten in his 28 years of life.She ate more slowly than usual and had trouble swallowing.

The chest was constricted in one breath, slowly inflated like a balloon, but it couldn't be broken no matter what, it just blocked and squeezed.

She didn't hear what Aunt Zhao said, and every time she ate a dish, she felt the urge to drag the people who made these dishes back for questioning.

Why are you so perfunctory to her?

The day before yesterday, Lu Xi made a birthday request to eat Si Yu's dishes by accident, and Si Yu readily agreed, and because of this, she felt a subtle touch in her heart.

She has been in a trance these two days, and today, she couldn't even concentrate on going to work, and she was vaguely looking forward to something.It was just five o'clock, and she couldn't wait to drive back.

Seeing Si Yu in the kitchen in home clothes cooking for her, Lu Xi's heart that had been calm for a long time was bumped lightly by something. He was a little confused, but he felt an indescribable sense of stability.

She was suddenly looking forward to this birthday.

But all the good things were ruined by Si Yu's words.

Si Yu did follow her request and personally cooked four dishes and one soup for her.It's just that Lu Xi never expected that when Si Yu was ready, he didn't sit down to eat with her, but hurried to go on a date with someone else.

The heart seemed to be pierced by something.

This feeling is too long gone.

When he was ten years old, Lu Xi was taken back to the Lu family.

It was the first birthday at Lu's house, and grandma asked her what she wished for.The little girl looked eagerly at her majestic biological father and said, "I want to go to the playground."

The next day, she finally got her wish, but the person who took her there was not Lu Zhennan, but Lu Zhennan's secretary.

Since then, Lu Xi has never asked anyone again, and she no longer has expectations for anyone or anything.She was trained to be an indifferent machine who only knew about work and could not express emotions.

If you don’t expect, you won’t be disappointed. I understood this truth when I was ten years old. Why did I make such a low-level mistake again this time?

A chill spread from the bottom of my heart and quickly spread to my limbs.

Lu Xi returned to his usual expression of indifference and indifference, put down his chopsticks, and said to Aunt Zhao who was eating food, "I'm done eating, take your time."

Aunt Zhao looked at the hot soup in her bowl that had only touched a mouthful, and said in astonishment: "You only took a few mouthfuls, why didn't you eat it?"

"Not very hungry." After saying this, Lu Xi got up and went upstairs.

It's just a birthday, she didn't like it at all.

Si Yu followed the navigation to pick up Xiao Xia.

The frozen Xiao Xia jumped into the car like a monkey, exhaled into his hands, and said while shaking: "If you come later, I will go back to bed."

Si Yu gave her a white look, and said with feigned anger: "I don't know who is acting like a baby and begging me to ask Xue Shaoduo for a ticket."

Xiao Xia blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm just talking casually. For the sake of the male god's stage play, this bit of severe cold is nothing!"

Si Yu signaled her to put on her seat belt.

There is still one hour before Xue Shao's stage performance, so we should arrive at the theater in time.

Thinking of meeting the male god later, Xiao Xia was so excited that she couldn't sit still, took out her phone and sent a Moments, when she switched out, she saw that everyone in the company's internal group was discussing something.

She exclaimed: "They said today is Mr. Lu's birthday! Xiaoyu, do you know?"

Holding the steering wheel, Si Yu pretended to be casual and said, "I know, I even cooked a table for her, otherwise I would have left early."

Xiao Xia looked at her with an expression of "what are you talking about?" Seeing that she didn't care about mentioning Lu Xi at all, she rolled her eyes and said gossip: "People in the group say that Mr. Lu is 28 years old and hasn't fallen in love yet. I suspect that she is not married. Some people say that families like Mr. Lu usually arrange commercial marriages. Do you think it is possible that Mr. Lu has secretly married a wealthy young master or daughter?"

Si Yu's eyelids twitched, he took advantage of the red light to look at her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you guessed it right, your President Lu has actually secretly married me a long time ago."

"Fuck!" Xiao Xia's eyes widened, "Really?!"

"real."

Seeing what she said so convincingly, Xiao Xia didn't believe it, she curled her lips and said, "You lied to me. If you married Mr. Lu, why did you say you wanted to chase her before? And Mr. Lu is so indifferent to you, how could you both?" Yes...cough, I'm sorry Xiaoyu, I didn't mean to stab you."

See, even if she admits it, no one will believe that she and Lu Xi are husband and wife.

Si Yu smiled a little lonely and said, "It's okay, what you said is the truth."

Xiao Xia felt that she had slipped her tongue, afraid that she would be sad, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "Have you resolved Zhang Xiaotao's matter?"

Si Yu calmed down and said, "I transferred a sum of money to her, which is enough for her mother to have the surgery."

"That's 50!" Xiao Xia was speechless, "You just gave it to her for nothing?"

Si Yu thought about it: "Just treat 50 yuan as a hush money, and it's not a loss."

During the day today, Zhang Xiaotao called her and said that their family would not be able to pay back so much money in a while.

Si Yu immediately replied, "You don't need to pay back the money."

Zhang Xiaotao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and asked, "Why?"

"I only have one condition." Si Yu said: "If someone else finds you in the future and asks about that incident back then, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible."

At the banquet, Lin Shuang mentioned that the original female partner forced Zhang Xiaotao to drop out of school. After Si Yu returned, he immediately asked Xiao B about the situation.Finding that this matter was a bit complicated, she dug out the contact information of a private detective she had taken from Zhu Qi a long time ago, that is, Brother Hao, and asked Brother Hao to help find someone.

Brother Hao has a wide network of contacts, and he helped her find Zhang Xiaotao in five days, and Si Yu rushed over without stopping.

Xiao Xia was still aching for the 50 yuan, looked at Si Yu enviously, and said, "It's nice to be the daughter of a rich family."

Si Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

The 50 was taken from the original female supporting role card, Si Yu's own wallet is already empty, and now she is eager to join the filming group.

Around seven o'clock, they rushed to the theater.

Today is Xue Shao's first stage play, and as his only fellow apprentice, Si Yu naturally wants to join him.It's not just for the show, Si Yu was very interested in stage plays before he passed through the book, but unfortunately he never had the chance to act.

They took internal tickets, and the location was easy to find.After sitting down, Si Yu found a familiar figure sitting on the left, she asked unsurely, "Sister Yan?"

The man turned around, and it was Lin Yiyan.

Lin Yiyan said happily, "What a coincidence."

Si Yu didn't expect such a coincidence, and said, "Xue Shao, who plays the male lead, is my senior brother, I'll come and see him."

Lin Yiyan joked: "So you are here to join us. The director of this show is my teacher."

The two smiled at each other.

"This is my assistant Xiao Xia." After Si Yu introduced Xiao Xia to her, seeing that she seemed to be alone, he said, "Did you come here by yourself?"

"No, there is another friend, she went to the bathroom."

Just as Lin Yiyan finished speaking, someone walked towards him.The man said in a sweet voice, "Yiyan, who are you talking to?"

this voice...

Si Yu looked past Lin Yiyan to look at that person, and frowned when he saw Liang Yufei's pretendingly innocent smiling face.

Lin Yiyan's friend is Liang Yufei?

In such a short time, the two became friends?

Liang Yufei approached and saw that it was Si Yu, her smile became distorted, and she said, "It's you."

Si Yu twitched the corners of his mouth in a moody manner.

Little Green Tea really has the ability to hook up with Lin Yiyan in such a short time.

07:30 The performance officially started, the stage went dark, and the audience remained silent.

At the end of the two-hour performance, Si Yu went to the backstage holding the prepared flowers, and congratulated Xue Shao: "Brother, you are great! The performance is great!"

On the other side, Lin Yiyan was chatting happily with her teacher.

Tonight's performance was very successful, and the audience responded enthusiastically. Teacher Lin Yiyan, the director, said that he would treat everyone to a meal.

Si Yu took advantage of Xue Shao's relationship with the past.

It was six o'clock when she went out, and it was already midnight when she got home.

Pushing open the door and entering, seeing Aunt Zhao sitting in the living room watching TV, Si Yu was surprised: "Auntie, why are you still up so late?"

The sound of the TV was so low that it could hardly be heard. Aunt Zhao came over with small steps and said, "I'm waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

Aunt Zhao leaned mysteriously by her ear, pointed to a certain room on the second floor, and said, "After you left, Miss Lu only took a sip of soup, and stopped eating after trying every dish. I looked at her face. It's all dark."

Si Yu was speechless for a moment, and said, "Does she dislike my cooking?"

Aunt Zhao put on an anxious expression of "Why do you still not understand", stomped her feet, and said, "Today is Ms. Lu's birthday, and you went on a date with someone else after cooking for her, she must be angry!"

Si Yu: "..."

The matter of cooking was brought up by Lu Xi himself, and he didn't ask her to stay and eat with him. She fulfilled the other party's request, what else is Lu Xi dissatisfied with?

And she wasn't dating, she just went to see a stage play.

Even if she is really dating someone else, what does it have to do with Lu Xi?

Didn't someone remind and warn her many times before that they are just an agreement relationship and will not interfere with each other?

Si Yu felt that Aunt Zhao was thinking too much.

Seeing that she was indifferent, Aunt Zhao pushed her and said, "She's still in the study, she shouldn't be asleep, go and coax her."

Si Yu: "..."

Why let her coax Lu Xi with one or two?

"I see, auntie, go to bed."

After dismissing Aunt Zhao, Si Yu went upstairs depressed.

When she passed the study, she lowered her head subconsciously, saw a little light coming from under the crack of the door, imagined someone busy working inside, curled her lips, and muttered softly: "Why do you want me to coax you?"

She raised her head and walked towards her room, stopped halfway, turned around, and looked at the closed door resentfully.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Lu Xi didn't know how long he was staring at the computer in a daze.

On the screen was the annual summary report sent by Chen Yan, so densely packed that it gave her a headache, and when she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was Aunt Zhao again, pressed the center of her eyebrows, and said loudly, "Auntie, I'm not hungry, go to bed quickly. "

"...It's me." The person at the door hesitated.

Lu Xi's hand resting on his forehead swayed, thinking it was an auditory hallucination due to being too tired.

"Are you busy? I want to say a few words to you." The person at the door said again.

Not auditory hallucinations.

Lu Xi stared at the door with burning eyes, but did not move.

The door didn't move, Si Yu squeezed the head of the ball, thinking: I'm afraid I'm very angry this time.

But why?She couldn't figure it out.

Just when she was discouraged and wanted to go back to her room, the door in front of her was suddenly opened.

"..."

"..."

The light in the room came out, shining on Lu Xi's face which was cold and pale, dull and without any warmth.

The voice is also cold: "Say what?"

Si Yu suddenly felt that Lu Xi in this appearance was very strange, as if he had returned to Lu Xi's indifference and ignorance of her when she first passed through.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

Si Yu was a little flustered, his eyes wandered, he bit his lower lip, raised his breath, and said, "I didn't mean to let you go today. Xue Shao, the one who saved Lu Wei in the clubhouse, he is my senior brother. He made his stage play debut today and invited me to watch it. We made an appointment a long time ago, and it officially started at 07:30. The time is running out, and I can't accompany you for dinner."

After thinking about it, she thought it might be because she didn't explain well at the time, which caused Lu Xi to misunderstand, so she was so angry.

Although she didn't know what Lu Xi misunderstood.

Anyway, let's make it clear.

Lu Xi stared at her with cold eyes, slightly parted his thin lips, and said flatly, "Whom do you date and what do you do, that is your freedom, it has nothing to do with me, there is no need to explain to me. "

"..."

"I have tried all the dishes you cook, thank you."

"..."

"What else do you want to say?"

Si Yu shook his head mechanically, and watched the door close again.

She didn't see that Lu Xi was angry, she only saw coldness and ruthlessness.

She hit her head against the wall, and woke up with a loud "boom".

Lu Xi didn't care at all, why did she rush to explain?

Why can't she get rid of her self-indulgence?

In the quiet study room, the computer went into standby mode because no one touched it for a long time.

"Ding-dong-"

Chen Yan sent her a wechat message, which was a reply to her previous question.Lu Xi opened it numbly, and then closed the window after reading.

When I wanted to log out, my finger accidentally touched a certain place, and the screen changed, and I entered the circle of friends.

The first post was posted by Si Yu just an hour ago: "Meet a lot of new friends tonight, I'm happy ~ [picture] [picture]"

The first picture was a group photo. When I clicked on it, I noticed Si Yu with a bright smile in the crowd. I didn't know any of the other Lu Xi.

The second picture is a group photo of two people, with Si Yu on the left and...

Lin Yiyan.

The two were very close, smiling brightly, looking very intimate.

Lu Xi threw the phone aside irritably.

The sleek phone slid down the table and fell to the ground, hidden in the thick blanket.She didn't care.

At the end of the year, there are many meetings to be held.

All the executives present at the meeting today could feel that Mr. Lu was in a bad mood. Every one who came to the stage to report on work was more or less picked up by Mr. Lu.Mr. Lu's questions became more tricky one after another, and his words became more and more sharp, which made everyone panic.

"I can't even speak clearly, so you don't need to come to the next meeting."

"Why does this report only have a good side and no short summary? Your department has the lowest overall assessment score in recent months. Do you think I am stupid and easy to fool, or do you think I am demented and can't remember?"

"I don't want to listen to your explanation, I just look at the result. If this problem is not resolved within a week, you can pack up and leave."

The annual report meeting lasted for four hours. Several managers who were pointed out were trembling, and others were also silent.

Chen Yan has followed this boss since Lu Xi was still a department manager. She has held hundreds of meetings with Lu Xi over the years. This is the first time she has seen Lu Xi so strong, even a little aggressive.

Chen Yan didn't dare to ask the reason. After the meeting was over, she looked at the time and said, "Mr. Lu, it's almost time for lunch. Let me have someone bring it to you."

With a gloomy face, Lu Xi looked through the annual reports submitted by various departments, and said, "No, I don't want to eat. If there are any other documents that need to be signed, please bring them to me."

So the whole noon, everyone was resting, only Lu Xi was like a tireless robot, sitting on the executive chair without getting up, and kept burying his head in reading documents, signing, reading emails, and replying emails.

Seeing her desperate appearance, Chen Yan said with some distress: "Mr. Lu, you are required to attend the "The Lost Castle" seminar this afternoon, so you should take a break."

Lu Xi waved his hands without raising his head and said, "Make me a cup of coffee, thank you."

Chen Yan's persuasion was useless, so she had to help her make coffee.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the film "The Lost Castle" seminar was held in a large conference room in Guangying, and all the main creative personnel arrived.

Lu Xi arrived last.

Stepping into the conference room, seeing Si Yu and Lin Yiyan chatting with each other head to head, and talking about something happy, the two laughed lowly.

"Mr. Lu is here." Director Han Yan stood up, "Mr. Lu, sit here."

Si Yu, who was whispering to Lin Yiyan, stopped.

Lin Yiyan looked towards the door, and coincidentally met Lu Xi's eyes.I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that Mr. Lu doesn't look very friendly at her.
