Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

"I want to gallop into your arms and unravel the mystery of my longing, the dream of a thousand years..."

Lu Hao hummed a four-character song as he leisurely walked out of Xiao Xiyue's house.

This woman is like a completely different person as soon as it gets light; she won't even let me drive her to work.

I'll have to waste a few dollars to scan a shared electric scooter.

Upon arriving at the company, Lu Hao shook off his fatigue from the previous night and buried himself in his work.

He had seven days to perfect the plan, help Lin Ran get the manager position, and repay her for taking care of him over the past two years.

He then resigned and settled down at home to be a stay-at-home dad, watering flowers, weeding, and walking birds every day—how pleasant!

Moreover, it would allow him to completely get rid of Su Yu, which would be killing two birds with one stone.

Qin Shou is right. Finding a rich woman can save you decades of detours.

Lu Hao had just finished his work when Lin Ran stormed in from outside.

She slammed her hand on the table in front of Lu Hao, making a loud "bang" that startled him.

"Hey Lin, did you eat gunpowder this morning?"

"Where did you go last night?" Lin Ran's eyes were filled with anger.

Lu Hao's heart skipped a beat. Had she found out he went to the bar?

That shouldn't be the case. I didn't post it on WeChat Moments, so she couldn't possibly know.

With this in mind, Lu Hao felt confident and said without changing his expression, "I'm doing planning at home."

"I'll give you one more chance." Lin Ran trembled all over, his voice as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.

"I said I'd do the planning at home."

"Alright, alright, do you want me to have Li Xu confront you?"

Lu Hao's pupils dilated in shock. This bastard had betrayed him?

Damn it, they have no sense of martial ethics.

Lu Hao lowered his proud head and said softly, "Well... I was originally working as a planner at home, but Li Xu kept asking me to be his wingman... I figured we were colleagues, and I should help him out if I could, so I didn't refuse."

"Wingman? It's a plane for someone else to flirt with you, isn't it?"

"Cough cough, I'm innocent!"

"Li Xu told me everything. He said he was drunk last night and saw you going out with a girl."

"You said he was drunk, he must have been seeing things," Lu Hao said without batting an eye.

Li Xu was unconscious last night, so there's absolutely no way he could have seen it.

He must have woken up, seen that everyone was gone, and realized that his methods would definitely succeed, so he said that.

"Really not?" Lin Ran's tone relaxed.

"I swear to God, I drank too much yesterday. After singing a song, I went home by myself," Lu Hao said firmly.

Yes, Xiao Xiyue's home is also her own home.

Lin Ran stared at Lu Hao for a long time, her expression softened, and her tone became gentle, "I believe you. Then come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Beautiful Lin, I really need to finish this report tonight," Lu Hao said earnestly. "I wasted a whole night yesterday, and if I don't work overtime tonight, I'll fall behind."

Lin Ran pursed her lips, a complex look flashing in her eyes, and finally sighed softly.

"Alright, then we'll wait until you've finished this plan, and we can talk about dinner later."

After making the appointment with Lin Ran, Lu Hao quickly threw himself back into his busy work.

In the afternoon, Li Xu finally dragged his tired body over.

Lu Hao put down what he was doing, got up and dragged Li Xu to the smoking area, pinned him against the wall, and grabbed his collar with one hand.

"Hey Li, that's not very kind of you. You actually told Lin Ran about my trip to the bar."

"Lu Hao, how dare you say that? There were three women, and you didn't leave a single one for me. You just abandoned me in the bar and didn't care about me at all."

"Damn, those three women were already gone when I got back. I was also drunk, okay? I even asked Molly to take care of you."

"real?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever lied to you?"

Lu Hao loosened Li Xu's collar, walked to the stool next to him, sat down, and took out a cigarette and lit it.

Li Xu sat down next to Lu Hao, lit a cigarette, and said with annoyance, "What a waste."

"You have the nerve to say that? You were kissing someone in the booth, and I was only gone for a little while, and you were lying there. I couldn't even keep an eye on you." Lu Hao looked at him with disdain.

I hadn't even exchanged contact information with Fang Ruoyun last night.

Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore. He also plans to turn over a new leaf.

I promised Li Xu, but I didn't manage to get one for him last night. It's bad for my reputation.

"Brother Lu, you can't blame me for this. After you went up to sing, Xiao Wei said she was going to the bathroom, and then I lay down and fell asleep right away."

Lu Hao waved his hand, signaling Li Xu to stop talking. He sighed softly and began to review the events with Li Xu afterwards.

Li Xu listened with great interest, almost to the point of taking notes.

"Alright, go back and reflect on your actions, learn from your mistakes, and try to succeed next time."

Lu Hao stubbed out his cigarette, patted Li Xu on the shoulder, got up and returned to his workstation to continue his work.

Four days have passed.

Lu Hao pushed open the glass partition door, walked to the desk, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at Lin Ran.

"Beautiful Lin, the plan is ready and has been sent to your email."

Lin Ran looked up and saw Lu Hao's extremely dark circles under his eyes, and knew that he had really been working overtime these past few days to catch up on the schedule.

She raised her hand and, in front of Lu Hao, unbuttoned the top two buttons of her blue shirt, saying, "You've worked hard, here's a little reward for you."

"Can I touch it?" Lu Hao blurted out when he saw that patch of snow-white skin.

Lin Ran laughed, leaned forward, and looked at Lu Hao: "You dare?"

Lu Hao touched his nose, turned his gaze away, and straightened up.

He'd have to take responsibility if he touched her, and he can't afford to take responsibility right now.

"I'm going back to catch up on my sleep, I'm so tired. If you think there's anything wrong, let me know."

Lu Hao yawned and turned to leave without waiting for Lin Ran's reply.

He's been working day and night these past few days, rushing to meet deadlines. He hasn't even had a proper night's sleep, let alone gone to bars.

Dragging his tired body, Lu Hao returned to the street below his rented apartment, the aroma of braised meat filling his nostrils.

After so many busy days, let's have something good to eat today.

Lu Hao smiled faintly, casually draped his suit jacket over his shoulders, and pulled off his tie. He walked lazily toward the braised meat shop.

From afar, he saw a girl in a white dress standing in front of the braised meat shop; even just looking at her from behind, she was stunning.

Tsk tsk tsk, those fair calves, slender waist, smooth arms, and well-proportioned figure made Lu Hao feel as if he were seeing Su Yu.

When the girl turned around, Lu Hao was visibly stunned when he saw her face.

It really is Su Yu.

Su Yu also saw Lu Hao, and her eyes showed obvious panic, but this panic was fleeting, and she quickly regained her composure.

"Lu Hao, what a coincidence! I was just passing by and bought some braised pork. Want to have some together?" Su Yu said to Lu Hao in a very generous manner, and even held up the food in her hand.

Lu Hao looked around and saw a whole bag full of pig's head meat, pig's ears, and boiled beef. He estimated that it would cost at least a hundred yuan to buy it.

"Have you been following me?" Lu Hao turned his gaze to Su Yu.

"The company is planning to open a physical store, so I came here to check it out," Su Yu said without batting an eye.

Lu Hao pursed his lips, not paying much attention, and turned to leave.

He had originally planned to have some braised meat, a few drinks, and a good night's sleep. Now, he didn't want to think about anything; he just wanted to lie in bed and rest.

Lu Hao had only taken a few steps when Su Yu jogged up to him, tilting her head slightly to the side. Holding a bag of beer in her other small hand, she looked at Lu Hao with a beaming smile and said:

"Would you like something to drink?"
