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

The hourglass of time quietly turns, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Fang Ruoyun did not appear in Lu Hao's sight for a month, nor did she make any moves, as if everything that day was just an illusion.

Meanwhile, Lu Hao received no news about Su Yu.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface, Lu Hao always felt that a wave was about to engulf him at any moment, sweeping him away from the shore of hope, taking him into that endless sea, and sinking him into the dark and icy abyss.

"call……"

Lu Hao let out a long breath, raised his hand and pressed hard on his brow, then turned off the computer in front of him.

The moment the screen went dark, his slightly tired eyes were revealed.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Ding-dong-

My phone is beeping.

Lu Hao took out his phone, and Xiao Xiyue's name popped up on the screen.

Xiao Xiyue: "Ah Hao, I have to go on a business trip today. Why don't you eat at Ning Shu's place?"

Lu Hao tapped his fingertip lightly and replied with a "Okay".

A month ago, he and Xiao Xiyue confirmed their relationship. He originally planned to move in with her, but Xiao Xiyue refused, saying that she sometimes had to go on business trips and was afraid that he would be lonely at home alone.

Furthermore, for some unknown reason, Xiao Xiyue hired Ning Shu as her family nutritionist.

After a while, he didn't give up the house he originally rented.

He was just going out for a meal; he would still go back to Xiao Xiyue's house to rest that night.

Lu Hao casually tidied up the files on the desktop, stood up, stretched, glanced at Li Xu, Zhang Wei, and the others who were still busy, and smiled:

"I've noticed that you employees work even harder than I do as your boss."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Xu let out an exaggerated wail, collapsing into his gaming chair. "Brother Lu, you're really talking without thinking! You're so capable, you can handle in a day what takes us several days. How can that compare?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Wei chimed in, slamming his pen on the table. "If I had half of your skills, Brother Lu, I guarantee I'd leave work at 3 PM every day, not a minute late!"

Lu Hao shook his head and chuckled at their antics, then exchanged a few more jokes with them. His gaze swept past the two men and landed on Shi Lei in the corner, seemingly isolated from the world.

Meanwhile, He Shixin, who had just taken out her blue light blocking glasses from the drawer and put them on, couldn't help but think to herself, "College students are really dedicated."

Thanks to their joint efforts, the company has already turned a profit in just over a month since its establishment.

Although the amount is not large, it is undoubtedly a great encouragement for a startup.

Of course, most of this was due to the network of old customers he had built up before.

In terms of new business, only Zhang Wei managed to secure three small orders thanks to his silver tongue.

Xiao Xiyue also introduced a few projects, but they were all minor, insignificant ones, better than nothing.

Lu Hao picked up his coat and was about to walk towards the door when it creaked open from the outside.

Jiawan walked in carrying a bag of food in an insulated container. When she saw Lu Hao, who was about to leave, a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Hao, are you about to leave work? I brought some food, have some before you go."

When Lu Hao saw the insulated bag in her hand, he waved his hand and said smugly, "No need, someone at home will cook."

Jiawan's smile froze slightly before she could speak.

"Holy crap!" Before Jia Wan could even speak, Li Xu exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lu, no way? Is she your girlfriend?"

"No, that's not it," Lu Hao replied honestly.

Ning Shu is just a nutritionist, not a girlfriend.

Hearing this, Li Xu visibly breathed a sigh of relief, slumped back down, and then put on a fawning expression, urging, "Brother Lu, it's different! Look, Jia Wan brought the food, it's still warm, have some, don't waste their good intentions."

"No, no, you can share it." Lu Hao waved his hand again, this time without lingering, and turned to leave the office in a long stride.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut, cutting off the sounds from inside.

Only after Lu Hao's footsteps disappeared into the hallway did Jia Wan place the insulated bag on the coffee table. "Come and eat, it's still warm."

Li Xu and the other three immediately put down their work and gathered around.

Looking at the six exquisitely prepared lunch boxes laid out on the coffee table, Li Xu opened one of them, smelled the enticing aroma, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "What a pity, our Manager Lin's lovingly prepared lunch boxes have been wasted once again."

"I just don't understand," Zhang Wei muttered as he snatched a pair of chopsticks, "why didn't Sister Ran bring them over herself?"

Even Shi Lei, who is usually quiet and reserved, blurted out, "Ran Jie must be having a crush on you."

"Secret crush my foot! This is called caring without making a sound!" Jiawan tapped Shi Lei's head with the butt of her chopsticks, annoyed.

"Why think so much? Hurry up and distribute the food that Sister Ran prepared for Brother Hao!" He Shixin couldn't wait any longer, her eyes shining as she stared at the most lavish lunchbox in the middle. "I've been craving it for so long! Jiawan, you really should go upstairs and learn some cooking from Sister Ran, otherwise you'll never get married!"

"Next time, you cook for yourself. I'm not going to bother with you anymore!"

"No, Sister Wan, I was wrong, I was being mean!"

The office was immediately filled with chatter and laughter as Lu Hao's dinner, meant for him, was devoured in no time.

Lu Hao was unaware of all this.

He had already returned to his old rented room.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a loud, boisterous voice.

"Hey Ning Shu, it's been over a month since I last saw you, and your cooking skills have gotten better and better."

"Mengmeng, don't steal any! This is for Lu Hao."

"Tch, so what if I gave it to him? I ate a few pieces of his meat, what's his problem with that?"

"He'll be off work soon, let's eat together when he gets back."

"You even ate together... When he was eating my flesh, why didn't you say you'd eat together?"

Lu Hao was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Zhou Mengmeng to return. It seemed her filming had finished.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Zhou Mengmeng with one arm around Ning Shu, holding her in place, and holding a chicken leg in the other hand, taking a few bites.

"Mengmeng, you can eat whatever you want, but why are you controlling Ning Shu?" Lu Hao said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Upon hearing Lu Hao's voice, Zhou Mengmeng quickly released Ning Shu and smiled, "Who told her to be so possessive of her food?"

"Lu Hao, you need to control her." Ning Shu glared at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Never mind, give it to her. It's just a chicken leg."

Ning Shu pursed her lips, turned around and went into the kitchen to serve Lu Hao rice.

Lu Hao pulled out a dining chair and sat down, looking up at Zhou Mengmeng and smiling, "You didn't even say you were coming back."

Zhou Mengmeng blinked, walked gracefully to Lu Hao, holding a half-eaten chicken leg in one hand and preparing to put the other hand on Lu Hao's shoulder.

But just as she was about to touch Lu Hao's shoulder, Lu Hao suddenly dodged away.

Under her suspicious gaze, Lu Hao said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... Mengmeng, I... I have a girlfriend."

With a "splat", the half chicken leg in Zhou Mengmeng's hand fell to the ground.
