It was almost time to get off work, and the fast food restaurant here had already served dishes. Du Xinyue ordered the dishes, and looking at the unusually familiar dishes, Lu Chen looked at Du Xinyue in surprise.
But Du Xinyue directly answered Lu Chen's surprise with actions.
"These are all dishes with chili peppers." Of course Lu Chen remembered the first lunch box, when he gave Du Xinyue a spicy dish because of his mistake. And Du Xinyue was a girl who didn't know how to eat spicy food.
"People change, so I gradually got used to adding some chili peppers to the dishes." Du Xinyue added a mouthful of vegetables and put it in her mouth. She swallowed it with difficulty, but she coughed violently.
Lu Chen quickly handed over the mineral water. It was obvious that Du Xinyue still couldn't get used to the spicy taste.
"Why are you suffering?" Looking at Du Xinyue, who was blushing, Lu Chen refused to say the words he had already thought of.
He is also a human being, with a heart and feelings. So he really couldn't bear to hurt the slightly stubborn girl in front of him.
"You don't want to eat?" Seeing that Lu Chen didn't move his chopsticks, Du Xinyue directly put the food on his bowl of rice and urged Lu Chen to come.
Lu Chen could only pick up the chopsticks, take a few bites casually and then stop.
"How do you feel about me?" Lu Chen stopped and looked at Du Xinyue seriously. Maybe he thought too badly. Like and affection are not the same thing.
"It's very simple, just four words, love and hate." Du Xinyue looked at Lu Chen's extremely serious eyes, was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said four words.
Yes, she could only use these four words to describe her feelings for Lu Chen. From the first meeting, she showed a look of disdain for Lu Chen. Because she was used to judging people by their appearance, she felt dissatisfied at first sight.
Comfortable. So I had no intention of getting to know this Lu Chen.
The two of them just kept a distance. If you don't bother me, I won't bother you. Until Chase Lu showed up and took her away from the Minglong Club, she had her first feeling for Chase Lu, which was hate. Hate.
This domineering man disrupted all his plans.
And what happened next to Lu Chen already made Du Xinyue hate him to the core. The death of his grandfather and the hospitalization of his father were all because of Lu Chen. How could this man not let himself hold a grudge? In addition to being filled with hatred
Besides, Du Xinyue couldn't put any other words into her heart about Lu Chen's feelings.
It wasn't until she became his secretary that she saw Lu Chen silently buying water for her for the first time. At that time, she thought Lu Chen's behavior was quite ridiculous. But when she saw the lunch box that was deformed due to squeezing, she
But she didn't know where the trace of hatred in her heart had gone. Seeing him smiling stupidly at her, she was actually quite happy inside.
What happened at the banquet made her understand more clearly the difference between the man in front of her and the men around her. Although he is simple and unpretentious, and even more often looks like a rogue, he understands the meaning of life and understands his own heart.
Thoughts. At this moment, she was really impressed by the man in front of her.
In the end, she actually gave up her identity as the head of the Du family. This calmness and calmness made her appreciate the man in front of her even more. But the hatred in her heart was still there.
The man in front of me really makes me love and hate him at the same time. This sweet and entangled mood makes me want to stop. Now my mind can only hold Lu Chen, and other things can no longer occupy my heart.
"Actually, I bought you a lunch box because you were hungry and you were in a bad mood at the time. I would have done the same to anyone else. I can only say that there are too few people in your life who care about you. Please don't
I regard my concern as my admiration for you. Of course, during the banquet, I also felt that I did what I thought was right, and it was not for you at all. Of course, I can't be absolute. I also did it for the sake of Mr. Du's face.
I care about you. Don't misunderstand me." After Lu Chen heard what Du Xinyue said, he quickly explained it. Obviously this was his way of doing things, and he really didn't look at Du Xinyue in a different light. Not even that.
Any other meaning of endearment.
It's just that Du Xinyue really lacks care from others. Apart from her father, there is probably no other man in her life who cares about her in such a meticulous way, so she has this illusion.
"Did I understand it wrong?" Du Xinyue felt a pain in her heart for no reason after hearing Lu Chen's explanation. But she still wanted to explain it clearly.
"I think it can only be for this reason." Lu Chen answered Du Xinyue directly with a slight apology, not wanting to make any detours on this very serious question. He really couldn't bear Du Xinyue's love.
"Haha, it turns out I'm just being sentimental." Du Xinyue smiled bitterly, but she didn't expect that things would turn out like this. She put the rice into her mouth vigorously, mixing it with the slightly spicy food.
Dishes make your whole heart feel hot.
"Thank you for telling me what you think." Du Xinyue collected her thoughts, stood up and said something to Lu Chen before leaving the fast food restaurant.
Outside the transparent glass wall, Lu Chen saw the tears on Du Xinyue's little face. He did not expect that things would end like this. Although it hurt in his heart, he broke a girl's heart like this.
He didn't chase her out, after all, he knew what he was thinking in his heart. He only had sister-like feelings for Du Xinyue, and there was no feeling of admiration at all.
It would be better to cut the knot with a sharp knife and let Du Xinyue die directly. Since Du Xinyue feels both love and hate towards her, then let her only leave hatred, at least it is worse than leaving two kinds of feelings. It felt like it could give her heart a direction.
Just after having a decisive meeting with Du Xinyue, Du Wancheng came to visit.
"Are you leaving now?" Seeing that Lu Chen had already sorted out all the documents, Du Wancheng didn't expect Lu Chen to move so quickly.
"Well, I still have my own things to deal with." Thinking about the heated chat with Yu Qian, Lu Chen had already forgotten about Du Xinyue, because he had ended the matter.
"I have something to tell you. Why don't we go out and have a cup of coffee." Du Wancheng pulled Lu Chen out of the office again.
Du Xinyue secretly glanced at this scene while she was immersed in organizing the documents. Although she was a little reluctant, she still buried the feeling in her heart.
"You're almost gone. There are some things I still don't understand. I hope you can give me some answers." Du Wancheng finally asked Lu Chen to explain his inner doubts.
"Tell me, there is something you need to understand."
"I don't understand why you took action against me and the old man?" Du Wancheng still doesn't understand what's going on.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until the old man's health got better and explain it to you, but, hey!" Lu Chen sighed. He was also burdened with a lot of ideological baggage on this matter. Why not just spit it out today to make himself feel a little better?
Some.
"Originally, there is a big shot behind the Minglong Club, and I also know that person. As long as he takes action, whether it is force or the use of connections, I think the Du family will never be as stable as it is now."
"Oh. There is such a person, why doesn't he take action? Could it be that...you helped him take action?"
"That's right. He gave me a promise. As long as the inner breath in your body is eliminated, he will stand by and not get involved in this matter."
"That's why you had no choice but to attack me and the old man. I finally understand now." Lu Chen had no reason to lie to himself, so Du Wancheng completely believed Lu Chen's rhetoric.
"But why isn't the old man like me?"
"There was an accident at that time. Just when I was absorbing the old man's inner breath and true energy, Du Xinyue barged in. I accidentally got a piece of my own inner breath and true energy into the old man's body. The old man just
I suffered this unreasonable disaster. It was all due to my own carelessness." Lu Chen finally revealed the truth.
"It turns out that you have been burdened with so much, and I misunderstood you at the time. Now I finally understand why this old man didn't hold a grudge against you, and asked you to take his place. It turns out that this is the truth. If it were me, I would do the same." Du Wancheng
He nodded, finally understanding the difficulties of the old man and Lu Chen.
"Don't Xinyue know about this?" In fact, Mr. Du's death had something to do with Du Xinyue. If Du Xinyue knew about it, she would definitely blame herself.
"I didn't say it. It's better not to let her know, so as not to make her sad again." Since Chase Lu has already shouldered so much, he doesn't care about carrying more.
"It seems that you care about her. As a father, I can also tell that Xinyue seems to be interested in you." Du Wancheng is Du Xinyue's father after all, and his daughter-in-law is like her father. Naturally, she can see her little thoughts.
But because Lu Chen was already his prospective niece-in-law, Du Xinyue could not ruin the relationship between Lu Chen and Du Rui.
But now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, Du Wancheng is still very optimistic about Lu Chen, and naturally supports his daughter Du Xinyue's thoughts. After all, Lu Chen is also a rare good man.
"Haha!" Lu Chen smiled awkwardly, but he didn't realize that the two people had already sorted out everything clearly when they met before. After all, this matter is between two people, so as not to let Du Wancheng intervene again, which would be counterproductive
