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

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

A series of knocks sounded on the door, followed by Ning Shu's soft, slightly urgent voice.

"Lu Hao, get up! Aren't you supposed to open at ten? It's already eight-thirty!"

"Um...right away..."

In a daze, Lu Hao shouted a reply and was about to turn over when he suddenly felt two mountains pressing down on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

He struggled to open his eyes, his gaze slowly moving downwards.

A delicate sleeping face came into view, long eyelashes fluttering slightly with steady breathing. A head of long, smooth, black hair spread out, with a few playful strands clinging to his chin.

Holy crap!

Lu Hao exclaimed in surprise, his mind beginning to reconstruct the events of last night.

It seems that Zhou Mengmeng sneaked in on her own, and the two engaged in a fight.

Seemingly disturbed by his movement, the person in his arms stirred, nuzzled her little head against his chest, and murmured contentedly, "Shh...don't make a sound, I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Lu Hao scratched his messy hair, both amused and exasperated, and patted her smooth back. "Grandma, it's 8:30. My company opens at 10:00."

"Huh?!" Zhou Mengmeng suddenly looked up, her hazy almond-shaped eyes struggling to focus, a hint of confusion in them. "Ten o'clock?"

Lu Hao nodded solemnly.

The next second, Zhou Mengmeng jumped out of bed, barefoot, and rushed out without looking back, throwing down the words, "Get up quickly, don't be late!"

Before she could finish speaking, the door was slammed shut behind her.

Lu Hao touched his nose, his gaze falling on the mint-colored nightgown carelessly discarded under the bed, and smiled helplessly.

Immediately following this, Ning Shu let out a startled exclamation from outside the door.

"Hey! Mengmeng, why did you run out without any clothes on!"

Then came another "bang" as the door slammed shut, and finally, the world was quiet again.

Less than a minute later, Lu Hao's door was pushed open again, and Ning Shu walked in, carrying a set of clothes that she had just brought back from the balcony, which she thoughtfully placed on the bedside table.

"Breakfast is ready. Get dressed and eat now." Her tone was as natural as if nothing had happened, and her face showed no sign of anything amiss.

"Okay, I'll be right out."

After Lu Hao finished getting ready and left the room, Zhou Mengmeng had already changed her clothes and was sitting at the dining table. She was holding a fried dough stick in one hand, dipping it in the soy milk bowl, and eating it with relish. There was a ring of white soy milk stains on the corner of her mouth.

"My big star, what about your image? Can't you be a little more refined?" Lu Hao sat down opposite her and picked up a fried dough stick to eat.

"I act like a lady in public, and I have to act like a lady at home too?" Zhou Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him, completely unconcerned.

Lu Hao pursed his lips and stopped arguing with her.

Zhou Mengmeng, however, finished her fried dough stick, wiped her mouth, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Lu Hao with her bright eyes, interrogating him: "Tell me honestly, how do you know President Su?"

"President Su?" Lu Hao was taken aback, his mind not quite processing it.

"Su Yu!" Zhou Mengmeng emphasized, "Last night, that was the name you were calling out."

Lu Hao's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Did he really scream?

His face remained impassive as he flatly denied it: "You misheard." He then turned the tables, "But you, how do you know Su Yu?"

"Hmph." Zhou Mengmeng pouted, her expressive eyes saying "You're just pretending," but she didn't answer his question.

Lu Hao didn't press the matter further.

After finishing breakfast, Ning Shu tidied up the kitchen, walked over to Lu Hao, and helped him straighten his slightly crooked tie.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a virtuous and considerate little wife." Zhou Mengmeng sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, hugging a cushion, her tone full of teasing.

Ning Shu's ears turned red instantly, and she lowered her head and whispered, "I can't compare to you, you vixen."

"Demon Consort? I like that title." Zhou Mengmeng shamelessly accepted it with a grin.

Lu Hao stood to the side, barely daring to breathe. Although the two women seemed to get along harmoniously, he couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't suddenly explode.

The reason they can still joke around so calmly is probably because they live together.

"Alright, alright, I'll go to the restaurant to get my things first. You guys wait for me downstairs at Tomato Community." Lu Hao quickly made an excuse to slip away.

Ning Shu and Zhou Mengmeng nodded obediently.

……

By the time Lu Hao came out of the restaurant, arranged for the flower shop to deliver the flowers, and took a taxi to Tomato Community, it was already 9:40.

He looked into the distance, but couldn't see Ning Shu at the entrance of the residential area.

Only Zhou Mengmeng... and Su Yu?

Lu Hao froze, his mind blank for a moment.

Under the sunlight, two strikingly different women stood together, whispering to each other, creating a scene that was strangely harmonious.

He never told Su Yu that he was opening his business today! How did she know?

He even hung out with Zhou Mengmeng?

Lu Hao felt a chill run down his spine, but he still forced himself to walk over.

These two people probably don't know their relationship with each other.

"I'm here," he said, trying to sound calm.

"You're so slow. Ning Shu went to buy you a flower basket." Zhou Mengmeng gestured with her chin at him.

"Such a big event as opening and you didn't even tell me? I came uninvited. Boss Lu, are you going to kick me out?" Su Yu looked at Lu Hao with a half-smile.

Lu Hao rolled his eyes at her, then turned to Zhou Mengmeng and said, "Why bother buying a flower basket? It's too wasteful."

"How would I know? She insisted on going." Zhou Mengmeng spread her empty hands.

Her congratulatory gift was sent last night.

Lu Hao's gaze swept over Su Yu's feet, where there was a beautifully packaged flower basket and a fruit basket.

The three of them fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Just then, a taxi stopped by the roadside, and Li Xu climbed out of the back seat, carrying two large flower baskets.

"Brother Lu, I'm here!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, rushing over and handing the flower basket to Lu Hao. "Congratulations on your company's grand opening! May your business prosper! Hahaha!"

Lu Hao was infected by his enthusiasm and laughed too. He patted him on the shoulder and teased, "Why are you giving me a gift? We're all family here."

"Oh, I didn't deliver it," Li Xu scratched his head, "I was just picking it up for someone else on my way."

Who is it?

"Wang Ba and Lin Ran!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao felt the June weather instantly become cooler.

He subconsciously turned his head and met Su Yu's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.

There was no questioning in his eyes, yet it was more oppressive than any question, as if to say: Give me an explanation later.

Lu Hao touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

Although he didn't delete Lin Ran's contact information, breaking his promise to Su Yu, he honestly admitted that he hadn't had any contact with Lin Ran since that day!

Thinking of this, his back straightened a little more.

He sent Li Xu upstairs first, while he continued to wait downstairs.

A moment later, Ning Shu appeared from a distance, jogging over with two flower baskets in her hands, panting.

Seeing her flushed face and her forehead streaked with sweat, Lu Hao quickly stepped forward to take the things from her hands, saying with concern, "Why did you run so fast!"

"I...I just saw...I saw that time was almost up." Ning Shu supported herself on her knees, panting heavily.

Lu Hao gently patted her back to help her catch her breath and asked, "Why are you buying two?"

"Help...good things come in pairs." Ning Shu gave him a sweet smile.

Lu Hao didn't pay too much attention to it. He led her back to the entrance of the residential area and said to the other two, "Let's go upstairs."

Three women with distinct personalities, surrounding a man, walked together into the residential compound.
