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

Su Yu didn't speak, but just stared at Lu Hao with her beautiful eyes.

Feeling annoyed, Lu Hao simply turned his head to look out the window.

The afternoon sun shone through the glass onto his face, somewhat dazzling. He subconsciously squinted, taking in the bustling traffic outside the coffee shop, but deliberately avoiding looking at the woman across from him.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither speaking.

When the waiter came over with a tray and placed the coffee and pastries on the table, his "Please enjoy" was said in a softer tone than usual.

The waiter glanced at the two of them furtively, thinking to himself: Judging from their appearance, they're probably a young couple having a fight.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Su Yu withdrew her hand from the table, picked up her cup, took a small sip, and gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Indeed, I am no longer qualified."

Lu Hao didn't reply. He picked up his coffee and took a big gulp. The scalding liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.

His gaze remained stubbornly fixed on the view outside the window.

Seeing that he was unmoved by reason, Su Yu was not annoyed, but instead changed the subject.

"You and Zhou Mengmeng have a very good relationship."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Hao turned his head sharply and met Su Yu's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His brows furrowed.

"Don't even think about making a move on her."

"Oh, so concerned?" Su Yu ignored Lu Hao's threatening tone, leaned forward slightly, and looked him over with interest.

"Just friends." Lu Hao's tone returned to calm, but his eyes showed no sign of yielding. "But you, how do you know her?"

"Heh..." Su Yu chuckled softly, leaning back in her chair. "I saw her twice before, when she was shooting for Yunlan Clothing."

Lu Hao suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

Considering Su Yun's previous influence over Yunlan Clothing's decision-making and her past interactions with their collaborating models, it makes sense.

Su Yu slowly and deliberately cut off a small piece of pastry with a small fork, put it in her mouth, and savored it before speaking again, her tone light and airy.

"What do you think if I asked her to... shoot a few promotional videos for my company?"

Lu Hao's brows furrowed even more.

Logically speaking, this should be a good thing for Zhou Mengmeng, as it can help her gain more recognition.

But it was Su Yu who brought it up, and Lu Hao knew she must have meant something else.

"You'll have to talk to her company about this yourself. There's nothing I can do to help you." Lu Hao picked up his coffee cup and drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp.

Su Yu seemed to have anticipated his response and didn't press the matter further.

She quickly finished the pastry in front of her, then picked up the remaining half cup of coffee and drank it all in one gulp.

She stood up, looked down at Lu Hao, her smile vanished, and her tone became serious.

"I don't care if you've deleted Lin Ran and Xiao Xiyue from your contacts, but don't let me find out you're still in contact with them, or you'll face consequences you can't afford."

After saying that, Su Yu turned and left without waiting for Lu Hao's reply.

Lu Hao leaned back in his chair, watching her disappearing figure at the top of the stairs, his face darkening.

as a result of?

What is this crazy woman trying to do?

He scratched his head in frustration, then thought, "Forget it, I can't be bothered to think about it anymore."

Anyway, he had no intention of getting involved with Xiao Xiyue and Lin Ran again, and he didn't take Su Yu's threat to heart at all.

How much trouble can a woman who doesn't even understand what she wants cause?

……

Time flies, and a few more days have passed.

Everything in the company is proceeding smoothly.

Lu Hao revisited several old clients and, relying on the reputation he had built up, actually managed to close two small deals. Although they weren't big, they were enough to keep Li Xu and Zhang Wei busy.

As for the introduction form that Su Yu mentioned, there wasn't even a trace of it.

These past few days, Lu Hao has been living a rather "regular" life.

Zhou Mengmeng has already joined the film crew and is occasionally posting a few scenic photos from the set on WeChat, as well as sending Lu Hao a few vain selfies in private.

Ning Shu became his "attendance officer," always asking Lu Hao every morning before he left, "Lu Hao, where are you going today?"

Lu Hao has developed a muscle memory for this, and he proactively "reports" his itinerary before she even asks.

As for Li Xu, I wonder if he's in cahoots with Ning Shu, he's been acting strangely lately.

"Hey Lu, any plans for tonight? Where to go for some fun?"

Lu Hao always felt that the way this kid looked at him was exactly the same as Ning Shu's.

That afternoon, Lu Hao had just finished a call with a client when his phone rang again. The caller ID showed Qin Shou as the caller.

As soon as he answered the call, Qin Shou's loud voice came through.

"Hey bro! What are you doing? Hurry up and come over for rehearsal!"

Lu Hao slapped his forehead, only then remembering that Qin Shou's wedding was this weekend.

He hung up the phone, walked to the office window, and looked at himself in the mirror.

His stubble, which he hadn't shaved for a few days, made him look a bit disheveled. He turned around, went home, took a shower, shaved his beard, and changed into a decent set of casual clothes.

He hadn't forgotten that Qin Shou had previously said he would help him find a match by introducing him to his fiancée's best friend.

Yunjiang Hotel, located on the banks of the Yong River, is one of the most luxurious hotels in Nanning.

Led by a waiter, Lu Hao arrived at the 36th floor.

Pushing open the door, the entire banquet hall was decorated in a festive fiery red.

Qin Shou, dressed in a well-tailored black tuxedo and holding a wine glass, chatted and laughed among a group of elite men in suits.

Just by looking at the expensive watches on their wrists, you can tell that they are all very wealthy.

Not far away, Qin Shou's fiancée, Jiang Yun, was also dressed in an elegant strapless dress, entertaining her group of girlfriends. Her clear laughter rang out like silver bells.

Lu Hao's gaze swept over the group of beautiful women, and he found one girl with pigtails to be somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen her before.

Just as he was thinking it over, a large hand patted his shoulder.

"What are you daydreaming about! Hurry up and come with me to change your clothes!" Qin Shou had walked over at some point, a smile on his face.

Lu Hao withdrew his gaze and was pulled into the private room next door.

The makeup artist had been waiting for a long time and immediately came to greet them when they entered.

Lu Hao was forced to sit in a chair in front of the makeup table, where the makeup artist used various tools he didn't recognize to manipulate his face.

He glanced at Qin Shou, who was adjusting his bow tie beside him, through the mirror, and casually asked, "By the way, did Jiang Yun's best friend, whom you mentioned last time, come today?"

"No." Qin Shou didn't even look up. "I already told you, she won't come until my wedding day."

"Don't bridesmaids need to rehearse?"

"He's the big boss, with such a huge company and so many things to do. He doesn't have time to make a special trip."

Upon hearing the words "big boss," Lu Hao rubbed his nose and muttered, "I'm a boss too."

"Um?!"

Qin Shou suddenly turned around, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Lu Hao, his eyes full of doubt: "When did you become a boss?"

Lu Hao laughed, a smug look on his face: "I resigned and now I run my own company."

Qin Shou was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, and punched Lu Hao again, "Not bad, bro! You've finally got it, you're thinking about your future now!"

"Of course, people change."

"Well said!"

Qin Shou nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, reached into his waistband and pulled out a bunch of keys.

He took a car key from above and put it into Lu Hao's hand.

"You can take the one I replaced earlier," Qin Shou said matter-of-factly. "Now that I'm a boss, how can I not have a car? It's not a luxury car, but it'll be convenient for going out to do business."
