Section 4

At the very least, Su Lu could tell that he still cared about Pu Wei. Regardless of whether it was love or not, this concern had already made Su Lu quite uneasy

"Besides here, where else does it hurt?" He carried her to the sofa in the living room and applied a band-aid to her.

He smiled gently and ruffled her hair

The smile of a mature man, characterized by crow's feet, is the most handsome, with eyes squinting in laughter, revealing faint lines of three crow's feet.

"Boss, is Aunt Pu Wei getting anxious and urging us to go back? But I haven't eaten enough yet—" She innocently blinked her eyes and patted her belly

Fang Zhuoang said to Su Lu: "You go take a shower, be good"

Fang Zhuoang smiled slightly, his profile sharply defined under the illumination. He picked up a tissue to help her wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth and said, "Take your time eating, until you are full, but you must not call her Aunt Pu Wei, as that would be very impolite"

"Alright," he agreed

A single word of obedience made Pu Wei feel extremely indignant in his heart

Fang Zhuoang shook her head with a smile, and every move she made filled him with utmost indulgence and tenderness

Fang Zhuoang sat on the sofa to the left of Pu Wei, his head lowered in silence. He had anticipated what Pu Wei was about to say; it might lead to an argument. However, he reminded himself to control his emotions, as Su Lu was present, and he did not want to put her in a difficult position

Such an address made Pu Wei's face turn pale with anger. She turned around and walked straight to the sofa, her long legs propped up on the coffee table. Beside the sofa was a stack of documents and a glass of red wine. She did not even glance at Su Lu, her eyes fixed on the television in front of her as she said: "Fang Zhuoang, I have something to discuss with you privately"

He noticed that Pu Wei had no intention of leaving, so he gently patted her shoulder and said in a calm tone, "Then you can sleep here; the guest room is very clean"

"You are still so young, yet you dare to act all high and mighty in front of me, fool." He squinted and smiled, with three crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. To Su Lu, those crow's feet seemed so charming.

Fang Zhuoang crouched down and saw that her knee was scraped. Not far from where she had slipped, there were patches of thick shampoo on the tiled floor.

Just like when I returned home in the past and encountered a power outage

She is afraid of the dark and will squeeze into his embrace, as if his chest would emit light. She even nicknamed him "Glowing Jellyfish," for on his chest, there is the brightest radiance

She was clearly jealous, yet pretended that it was not obvious at all

Su Lu could hear everything clearly in the corridor. With her eyes closed, she comforted herself, reminding that in order to defeat this woman, she must remain even more composed than her

"Zhuo Ang's father, I am eighteen years old, she is twenty-eight years old, which makes her a full ten years older than me. At her age, she can only be my aunt; otherwise, your implication is that I am old," she said, quickly making a face and sticking out her tongue.

After the past, no matter how many excellent men you meet or how many times you hear the words "I love you," none will ever compare to the depth of the embrace that person gave you

"She sleeps in my room, and I sleep in the living room," Fang Zhuoang said. After he finished speaking, he heard a "thud" from the bathroom and hurriedly rushed in, asking, "What happened? Did you fall?"

He softened his heart and agreed.

I have completed the design drawings and placed them all here. Please review them again tomorrow. I am quite busy at my studio, so if any adjustments are needed, please call me as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements. Unexpectedly, Pu Wei did not mention anything about Su Lu.

We are just as we were before

Fang Zhuoang helped Su Lu wrap her wounds and also brought her his white shirt. He first cleaned up all the shampoo on the floor before allowing Su Lu to go in and take a shower

There is a person, and with just one glance at him, you know he is the one you will love the most in your lifetime

Hello, Aunt Puwei," Su Lu said politely

The more obedient she is, the more he likes her immensely

You must be obedient and eat a little more, the little green leaves need to grow strong and become a small tree. He picked her favorite dishes and filled her bowl to the brim

Hello, Pu Wei, we are still having dinner, um... okay, I will come back after we finish eating. What do you want to eat? I will bring it to you.

Does she have the key to your house

Fang Zhuoang gently shook Su Lu's shoulder

"It's nothing. She and I live in the same community. If she can't wait for me, she will go back. Don't worry," said Fang Zhuoang.

"Yes, because sometimes she helps me retrieve documents, it is more convenient for her to have the key," he said cautiously

Su Lu understood Fang Zhuoang; he was not heartless and ungrateful. It was impossible for him to suddenly sever all ties with Pu Wei just because of her arrival

"I sleep in the guest room? Then where does she sleep?" Pu Wei retorted, her palm brushing her long hair back from her forehead.

Fang Zhuoang cast an angry glance at Pu Wei; the shampoo scattered on the ground was the reason for Su Lu's fall. He was well aware that the shampoo would not have ended up all over the floor for no reason.

"Dad Zhuo Ang, I am very well-behaved. I promise I won't speak carelessly in front of her. I assure you, is that okay? How could I let you hurt her? I just want you to spend a little more time with me." She pleaded with her big, pitiful eyes, asking him to take her home.

He still patiently and tacitly wiped the grain of rice from the corner of her mouth

He held her hand, leading her home, like a pair of lovers who had been separated and then reunited. The elevator doors opened, and the sensor light at the apartment entrance seemed to be broken. Su Lu turned on her phone to illuminate the way for Fang Zhuoang, as it was pitch dark. He was worried she might be scared, so he instinctively wrapped his arms around her and softly said: "Don't be afraid, it's very dark, but I'm here."

A large table of dishes was served, and she picked up her chopsticks, took a big piece of chicken, and placed it in his bowl. Sitting there with an extremely obedient demeanor and an expectant gaze, she said: "Boss, you try it first, I am being filial."

In this world, there are so many people, yet the only one I desire is you

It is just a superficial injury, nothing serious. I was careless myself and slipped while walking quickly," said Su Lu.

The door was pulled open from the inside, and a beam of light flashed out. Pu Wei stood at the door in her pajamas. Su Lu felt that Pu Wei's attire was quite inappropriate for appearing in Fang Zhuoang's home, while Pu Wei felt very uncomfortable seeing Fang Zhuoang gently embracing Su Lu.

Su Lu said, "Then please give me a key as well, so it will be convenient for me to come back on the weekend"

She deliberately delayed their return until 10 PM, sitting in the car and pretending to be very scared. She asked him, "Boss, will Aunt Pu Wei be angry with me? We've only just returned now, and she's been waiting for you all evening. She might get mad at me, right?"

The phone vibrated on the table, and Su Lu glanced at the caller ID; it was a call from "Pu Wei." He had not saved Pu Wei's number under a very affectionate name. Recalling the time in Nanjing, the name noted in Su Lu's contact list for this person was "Little Green Girl."

Su Lu sat on the ground, rubbing her knees, shaking her head and saying it was nothing

That is a quality that young boys like Jiang Sen do not possess, Su Lu obediently took a big bite of rice, with grains intentionally sticking to the corner of her mouth. She pointed to the grain of rice at the corner of her mouth and said: "Boss, look..."

Pu Wei held a cushion, wore a stern expression, and turned up the television volume very high to drown out Fang Zhuoang's repeated concerns for Su Lu.

Her sheer and seductive nightgown was quite timely, revealing a glimpse of spring's allure. It was evident that Pu Wei was absolutely uneasy about Fang Zhuoang and Su Lu spending the night alone in this house

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to a time long, long ago, not to Nanjing of that year, but to the fireworks of a past life, where this man held her in the same way.

"Alright, I will hold a meeting at the company tomorrow to discuss this. I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long; I will see you back home so you can get some rest," Fang Zhuo said as he stood up.

Pu Wei showed no intention of leaving, leaning back on the sofa in a more comfortable position, raising her glass of red wine, taking a sip, and in a magnetic voice said: "I am not leaving tonight, I will sleep here. My parents are traveling, and I am scared being home alone"

This scene remains as it always has been

She cannot replace my position in Zhuo Ang's heart, Su Lu thought
