Lu Yun understood everything Lu Zhiheng said.

She could wait. As long as her daughter-in-law was Wen Song, it didn't matter whether it was a year earlier or later.

But what if something changes during this period?

Songsong is beautiful and has a good personality. The day she went to school to see her, she saw a tall and handsome boy chatting and laughing with her all the way.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like for Shi Jing to regain his memory one day and remember everything he had with Wen Song, when Wen Song would already have someone else by his side.

Lu Yun became increasingly uneasy. "No, let me go back and think about it some more."

As Lu Yun left Lu Zhiheng's house, she was still thinking of a solution.

As the elevator doors closed with a "ding," she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the perpetually closed door across from Lu Zhiheng's house.

Yunjin Pavilion is a high-end residential project independently developed by the Lu Group.

When the project first launched, Lu Zhiheng reserved this high-ceilinged duplex apartment on the top floor. The apartment has ample ceiling height, allowing it to be divided into a two-story duplex, and offers an unparalleled and expansive view.

The only drawback was that this floor was planned to house two apartments. He preferred quiet and didn't want to be disturbed by others, so he simply bought the other apartment next door as well, making the entire floor his own.

Lu Zhiheng had just seen Lu Yun off and was about to continue his work when the doorbell rang urgently again.

He opened the door and met Lu Yun's anxious expression. He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Did you leave something behind?"

"No, I just suddenly thought of something and wanted to discuss it with you right away."

Lu Zhiheng never expected that Lu Yun would set her sights on the apartment across from his.

"You can rent it to me temporarily, or you can sell it to me directly. Zhiheng, I really can't find anyone I trust more than you. I'll only feel at ease if I have Songsong by your side."

Lu Zhiheng suspected that Lu Yun was really upset by Zhou Shijing and was starting to seek treatment from anyone in a panic.

He flatly refused, "What are you thinking? You actually believe I have time to take care of your child?"

Lu Yun replied confidently, "Songsong is not a child, she's already twenty. Besides, she's very quiet and sensible, she would never disturb you in the slightest."

Lu Zhiheng remained tight-lipped. "Let's not talk about that for now. As you said, she's already twenty. If she's interested in starting a new relationship, even if she lives next door to me, what right do I have to stop her?"

"I didn't ask you to stop it, I just asked you to keep an eye out for me. Whether at the company or at home, if you find any trouble, help me resolve it if you can, and if you can't, leave it to me, I'll handle it myself."

The more Lu Yun thought about it, the more confident she felt that the plan was foolproof.

Wen Song had mentioned before that she planned to submit her resume to Lu's company. If she was successfully hired, it would mean working right under Lu Zhiheng's nose.

With Lu Zhiheng protecting her in both her career and personal life, she was as safe as a fortress. She refused to believe that anyone would still try to take advantage of her future daughter-in-law.

"Zhiheng, I'm your only sister, and Shijing is my only son. I've only ever considered Songsong as my future daughter-in-law. Please help me out. You have no idea how worried I've been lately; my hair has turned white, and I'm even experiencing hair loss..."

Lu Yun's rambling speech took at least twenty minutes to finish.

Lu Zhiheng glanced at his watch; he had a multinational video conference in ten minutes.

He raised his hand, gesturing for a stop. "I have a video conference soon. We'll discuss this later. That's all for today."

They said they would discuss it later, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell it was just an excuse. Unexpectedly, the next day, Lu Yun was standing outside Lu Zhiheng's house again early in the morning.

She knocked on the door several times, but there was no response. Anxious, she called him, "Zhiheng, aren't you home? Did you go to the company so early today?"

Lu Zhiheng's calm voice accompanied the airport terminal's announcement: "There's been a problem with a project overseas, and I need to go there in person. I'm already at the airport."

"What? Going abroad? How long will you be gone?"

"About ten days if things go smoothly."

It will take at least ten days? How could Lu Yun wait that long?

"Zhiheng, I've already contacted the interior design company. They'll be here soon. If you're not home, could you please give me the password to the apartment across the street? Perfect timing, while you're away on your business trip, I'll get all the furniture and appliances sorted out so it won't bother you when you get back."

Lu Zhiheng rarely remained silent like this. After a couple of seconds, he spoke again, "I remember we said we'd discuss it further last night, and I didn't agree to anything you said."

Lu Yun paused, her voice becoming somewhat mournful, "Zhiheng, it's not that I'm forcing you, but I had a dream last night that woke me up in the middle of the night. Guess what I dreamt about? Songsong actually found an older man who's much older than her. They were having their wedding when Shi Jing suddenly regained his memory, crying and yelling at me for not being able to keep his fiancée..."

Lu Zhiheng stood in front of the airport's wide floor-to-ceiling window, listening to Lu Yun's endless sobbing on the other end of the phone. He felt his temples throbbing violently. "Calm down, it's just a dream after all."

"No, this is not a dream, this is God giving me a hint."

Lu Zhiheng was about to end the call when he said, "Sis, I have to go now, I need to get on the plane."

In desperation, Lu Yun unleashed her final trump card: "Lu Zhiheng, when you were eight years old, a little girl cornered you in an alley and forcibly kissed you. It was I who appeared in time to protect your innocence. Have you forgotten how you promised me back then that you would repay me one day?"

Lu Zhiheng: ...

It's been so many years, it's rare that Lu Yun still remembers. Besides, that little girl just hugged him when he wasn't looking, how did it become a forced kiss?

Even the so-called promise was something Lu Yun obtained by coaxing and deceiving him when he was young.

Lu Zhiheng pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and finally gave in, "Don't mention this again. I'll send you the password later."

Lu Yun's voice immediately became strong again, "I understand. I knew my brother was the most understanding. You can go on your business trip with peace of mind and take care of yourself."

Three days after submitting her resume, Wen Song received an interview invitation from the human resources department of Lu's Group.

At that time, she had just finished editing the video of her last dessert-making session and updated it to her food account.

Remembering that Wen Miaomiao had asked her to send the edited version to her after she finished editing it, she sent her a separate copy.

Just as she finished reading the interview notice, Wen Miaomiao appeared at her room door. "Ms. Wen, may I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"That's convenient."

Wen Song generously placed her phone in Wen Miaomiao's hand. She never put any guard against Wen Miaomiao. Usually, Wen Miaomiao would use her phone if she wanted to buy something or order takeout.

"I just received an interview invitation from Lu's Group."

She was genuinely happy and shared the good news with Wen Miaomiao with a beaming smile.

"Do you want to come with me tomorrow morning? It's going to get colder in a few days, so I'll take you to the nearby mall to buy some clothes."

"casual."

Wen Miaomiao didn't even look up, and it was unclear what she was busy doing on her phone.

As a result, a message suddenly popped up on my phone screen that evening: "I'll treat you all when I get back to China."

A sentence without any beginning or end.

Wen Song opened WeChat and saw that the profile picture was a black and white gray picture of a river and distant mountains, and the WeChat name was just a simple letter "L".

"L"...

Wen Song thought for two seconds, then suddenly remembered the letter "L" embroidered on the cashmere blanket. Her eyes widened in surprise. If she wasn't mistaken, this was... Lu Zhiheng's WeChat?
