When Xiao Yingze heard this, of course he quit. They didn't know the intentions of the two people upstairs. Lu Ziyou faced two people alone. What if he was bullied? He had to accompany him.
"No, I'll accompany you upstairs. Don't worry, I won't go in. I'll wait at the door."
Xiao Yingze also made a concession and waited at the door. As long as there was any movement inside, he would appear as quickly as possible, but Lu Ziyou still refused.
"Xiao Yingze, let me handle it myself, okay? I don't want anyone to stand in front of me for everything. If I can't handle these things well, then I will always have to be protected by you in the future."
Although Lu Ziyou is usually careless, she is actually a very sensitive and careful person. Why can't she feel the protection of her family and friends? It's just an emotional issue, and she wants to deal with it by herself.
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze was still a little worried, but seeing Lu Ziyou's firm eyes, he just hesitated for a moment, then nodded, patted Lu Ziyou's head lovingly, and said.
"If you need anything, call me immediately. The eldest lady of the Yu family cannot suffer any grievances, do you understand?"
Lu Ziyou smiled slightly, then turned around and walked into the building. Xiao Yingze watched Lu Ziyou get on the elevator before returning to the car.
In an apartment upstairs, Huo Tianshuo just came out of the bedroom, wearing only a bathrobe and with wet hair. He came to the dining room, looked at the busy Li Manzi, hugged her gently from behind, and kissed her on the ear.
.
“What delicious food should I make? It tastes so good.”
"The beef noodles you like were braised just yesterday, and I added an egg for you. Hurry up and sit in the restaurant. The kitchen is full of fumes."
Li Manzi wore a pair of sexy pajamas, with thick black curly hair hanging down to her waist. Even if she wore an apron, she could not hide her charming temperament.
After hearing this, Huo Tianshuo was still a little reluctant, and his big hands moved around Li Manzi's body dishonestly, with a playful and teasing look on his face.
"But I want to eat you even more."
As he said that, Huo Tianshuo's hand went to lift Li Manzi's nightgown, but Li Manzi didn't let him succeed. She pushed Huo Tianshuo away with a shy look and said coquettishly.
"No, I was so tired from you last night. Please let me rest for a while and come back tonight, okay?"
Hearing this, Huo Tianshuo felt that the man's dignity had been demonstrated. Although he was a little unhappy, seeing Li Manzi's pitiful appearance, he pinched her cheek lightly and said.
"Okay, let's let you go for now, let's continue in the evening."
After saying that, Huo Tianshuo walked out of the kitchen.
As soon as he arrived at the restaurant and before he could sit down, the doorbell rang, and Huo Tianshuo frowned slightly.
He was the only one who knew about this place. Li Manzi probably knew no one else in Los Angeles except him. He suddenly felt wary. It had to be said that Huo Tianshuo was a very vigilant person. But at this time, Li Manzi, who was busy in the kitchen, said.
"Tianshuo, open the door for me. Didn't you say you wanted Xu Ji's breakfast last night? I bought it specially for you."
Hearing this, Huo Tianshuo relaxed his guard and said something to the kitchen when he walked to the door.
"Isn't there breakfast? You don't have to accommodate me."
While he was talking, Huo Tianshuo opened the door, but the next second, his eyes were filled with panic.
"Yuyou, why are you here?"
After the panic, Huo Tianshuo calmed down and hurriedly explained.
"Yuyou, my cousin suddenly felt unwell last night. I rushed over here in the middle of the night. Then it was too late and I stayed here."
After hearing this explanation, Lu Ziyou might have believed it before the Chinese New Year, but now, seeing Huo Tianshuo's unfazed expression, she really wanted to ask if she thought she was stupid.
Lu Ziyou ignored Huo Tianshuo's explanation, and just pushed him away indifferently, preparing to walk into the apartment, but Huo Tianshuo blocked the door and didn't want Lu Ziyou to enter.
Lu Ziyou looked at Huo Tianshuo with a cold face, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and said quietly.
"Everyone is here, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"
"Yuyou, wait for me here for a while. I'll change my clothes and find a quiet place to have a chat with you, okay?"
Huo Tianshuo was still making his final struggle, but at this time, Li Manzi, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the commotion and walked out of it. When he saw Lu Ziyou at the door, he froze on the spot.
At this time, Lu Ziyou also noticed Li Manzi. When she saw what Li Manzi was wearing, she looked at Huo Tianshuo with a sarcastic face, as if asking, can cousins get along with each other in such revealing clothes?
Li Manzi felt the unkind look from Lu Ziyou, looked down, then lifted the apron on her chest, and hurried to the bedroom.
When Huo Tianshuo heard the noise, he turned around and looked in the direction of the bedroom, but still blocked the door.
"Yuyou, don't misunderstand me."
Lu Ziyou smiled coldly and said something.
"I didn't misunderstand."
Hearing this, Huo Tianshuo should have felt more relaxed, but when he saw the sneer on Lu Ziyou's face, he felt chills running down his spine. He never thought that one day this woman in front of him would make his hair stand on end.
At this time, Lu Ziyou spoke again. Faced with Huo Tianshuo's obstruction, she asked indifferently.
"Senior, do we have to be in a stalemate like this? I'm already here, so why don't you invite me in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened again. Li Manzi changed into a set of home clothes and walked out. Seeing Lu Ziyou and Huo Tianshuo standing in a stalemate at the door, he hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"Brother Tianshuo, please ask Miss Lu to come in and sit for a while."
As he said that, Li Manzi gently tugged on the corner of Huo Tianshuo's clothes. Huo Tianshuo finally made a move, but at the same time, a complicated light flashed in his eyes. He had realized that the relationship between him and Lu Ziyou was over.
Later, Lu Ziyou finally walked into the apartment.
The apartment is not big, with one bedroom and one living room, more than fifty square meters, but it is very warm. It can be seen that Li Manzi who lives here is a person who understands life very well.
When he walked into the living room, Lu Ziyou was attracted by a group photo on the wall cabinet next to him.
Judging from the background of the photo, it should be when they were students. Huo Tianshuo gently hugged Li Manzi, and the two looked particularly close.
Li Manzi also noticed Lu Ziyou's eyes and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Huo Tianshuo's look. Then Huo Tianshuo was about to sit down, but before he touched the sofa, Lu Ziyou spoke again.
"Senior, I think you should change into something more decent before you come out."
At this time, Huo Tianshuo only wore a bathrobe and was sitting opposite Lu Ziyou. She really didn't want to see some scenes that she couldn't see, so as not to stain her eyes.
When Huo Tianshuo heard this, he frowned, especially his handsome face, which was stained with a thin layer of black clouds.
Li Manzi suddenly felt the solemnity of the atmosphere and immediately spoke.
"Miss Lu, if you want something to drink, I'll pour it for you."
"Miss Li, there is no need to be so polite. After all, what will happen soon will not be too honorable for everyone."
Lu Ziyou didn't appreciate it at all. From the moment Li Manzi appeared, she understood everything.
The Li Manzi in front of him knew about his existence and his relationship with Huo Tianshuo. At this moment, Lu Ziyou felt like a clown.
Hearing Lu Ziyou's unfriendly response, Li Manzi said nothing and turned around and walked to the kitchen. After a while, he came over with a few cups of tea. At this time, Huo Tianshuo had already changed his clothes and walked out. Obviously, Huo Tianshuo was here.
Seeing all this, Lu Ziyou felt even more stupid.
Huo Tianshuo sat down opposite Lu Ziyou. As soon as he sat firmly, Lu Ziyou spoke.
"Mr. Huo, don't you want to explain?"
Huo Tianshuo used the time he had just changed to calm down. At this time, he was inevitably a little nervous. After all, behind Lu Ziyou, there was a Yu family that the Huo family could not afford to offend.
Huo Tianshuo didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Just when he was hesitating, Li Manzi on the side spoke first.
"Miss Lu, Tianshuo came here to break up with me. He loves you now. It's me who refuses to give up. I pester him in every possible way and even threaten to commit suicide. He has no choice but to do so."
It has to be said that Li Manzi was afraid that he would fall in love with Huo Tianshuo, and he was even willing to bear all the infamy because of his love.
When Li Manzi spoke, Lu Ziyou couldn't help but be a little surprised. Even Huo Tianshuo, who had just sat down, had a flash of shock in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect Li Manzi to say that, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face.
If it weren't for the conversation at the airport, Lu Ziyou might have believed it, but now she only felt angry. Do these two people think that they have no judgment at all?
If they really broke up, then why are there Huo Tianshuo's clothes here? If it was really just her suicide threat, why did Huo Tianshuo wear so cool clothes? Now that they have broken up, shouldn't they avoid suspicion? If it was just a breakup, then why did Huo Tianshuo wear it in the first place?
Call them cousins.
Lu Ziyou thought of this and smiled coldly. For the first time, she realized that the man in front of her was so cowardly. He didn't even have the courage to admit it and needed a woman to help him out.
