Perhaps it was because Lu Yanbei's car was too comfortable, and no one spoke proactively. Su He's eyelids began to droop soon after she got into the car, and before long, her breathing became regular and gentle.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, having to admire Miss Su.
She was probably the only woman unfazed by male beauty, who could sleep soundly in front of her boss! Any other woman in her position, with the chance to sit next to the boss, would have exhausted every means to throw herself into his arms.
The driver's inner self was jumping for joy when suddenly, with a sharp turn, the remarkable Miss Su in his eyes swayed and fell into Lu Yanbei's arms.
The driver: ...
"Drive slower," Lu Yanbei said, glancing at the dark circles under Su He's eyes.
"Yes," the driver replied respectfully, easing up on the accelerator.
Lu Yanbei's residence was located in a high-end residential area in the city center, a spacious two-hundred-square-meter flat. It was nestled against mountains and water, in a tranquil environment, with astronomically high housing prices.
As the car slowly drove into the complex, Su He finally struggled out of her hazy sleep and woke up. The first thing she saw was Lu Yanbei's strikingly handsome profile. Su He froze for two seconds, then jolted awake.
She, she, how did she fall asleep? And drooled on the boss's suit jacket!
"Awake?" Lu Yanbei glanced at her startled expression, his voice as cold as a stone dropping into a frigid pool.
Su He trembled and apologized in a small voice. "I'm sorry, I was just too tired..."
Lu Yanbei didn't dwell on it. He stepped out with his long legs, leading the way. "The refrigerator is empty, let's go to the supermarket downstairs to buy ingredients first."
"Oh..." Su He quickly agreed and scrambled out of the car, using her hands and feet.
The supermarket wasn't large but was well-stocked, with all sorts of goods.
Su He grabbed a small shopping cart at the entrance and followed Lu Yanbei closely. As for why Lu Yanbei followed, in his words, it was to get things done quickly and efficiently.
With just a flick of Lu Yanbei's finger, Su He would diligently put items into the cart. Before long, the cart was piled high like a small mountain.
When it came to payment, Su He spoke the figure before the cashier could even quote it. "Seven hundred and thirty-eight yuan and two mao."
As expected, the cashier picked up the scanner and said with a smile, "Sir, it's seven hundred and thirty-eight yuan and two mao in total."
Lu Yanbei cast a glance at Su He and slowly took out his phone to pay.
From the supermarket, Lu Yanbei walked ahead with empty hands, while Su He trudged behind, carrying two large bags. If this were anywhere else, onlookers would surely scold the man for being ungentlemanly, letting a woman carry heavy items. But in such a high-end complex, where almost every household had a nanny, this scene was commonplace.
Back upstairs, Lu Yanbei gave some instructions and went straight to the study.
Su He stood at the doorway, gazing at the mansion that was comparable to a labyrinth, and was lost in thought for a long time.
The world of the rich was indeed extravagant!
Living alone in a two-hundred-square-meter apartment was too luxurious!
She quickly calculated in her mind. The housing prices here were outrageously expensive. If we assume ten thousand yuan per square meter, plus renovation, it would cost around thirty million yuan.
Thirty million yuan could buy a whole building in the suburbs, couldn't it? An ordinary person might not earn that much in their entire lifetime.
Tears of envy welled up in Su He's eyes.
Just as she was fantasizing about being able to buy such a luxurious house one day, a phone call pulled her back to reality.
"Hello?"
"Su He, did you and Lu Jingyang really get divorced? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" The call was from Su Chenghai, his tone quite displeased.
He was Su He's biological father, owning several hotels and considered a respectable figure in B City.
Su He held the phone a little further away and replied indifferently, "Lu Jingyang wanted a divorce, what could I do?"
"Why are you so stubborn! You just signed it because he wanted to divorce? Didn't you think of any way?" Su Chenghai rebuked her, frustrated. "Do you know how many people would break their heads to marry into the Lu family? Don't take your blessings for granted!"
Su He silently rolled her eyes.
She couldn't handle this blessing! Whoever wants it can have it!
On the other end of the line, Su Chenghai continued to lecture her. "You need to go back to the Lu family immediately and find Old Master Lu! He's always liked you, and if you ask him, he'll surely stand by your side!"
Su He rubbed her temples. "Grandpa Lu already knows, and he doesn't object."
"You, you're going to anger me to death!" Su Chenghai clutched his chest, feeling somewhat short of breath. "You have such a powerful backing, yet you still can't keep a man's heart. You, you're so useless!"
"If you have the ability, then let Su An'an do it!" Su He finally couldn't help but explode.
"If An'an's birth date didn't match, would you have gotten this bargain?" Su Chenghai had no affection for his recently found biological daughter.
In his eyes, Su He was merely a pawn that could bring him benefits, not even comparable to Su An'an's little finger.
Su An'an was well-behaved and intelligent, beautiful and sensible.
Unlike Su He, who was messy and foolish all day!
Su He, too lazy to listen to his rambling, hung up the phone directly and then turned it off. "What bad luck!"
Su He sulked for a while, then accidentally glanced at the clock on the wall, and immediately jolted.
It's over, it's over!
She was too busy lost in thought that she hadn't started preparing dinner yet.
With Lu Yanbei's temper, he might use this as an excuse to extend the contract period.
Su He wailed and scurried around like a headless fly.
"Where is the kitchen?" Since it was her first time here, she had no idea where the kitchen was.
As she passed a doorway, the door suddenly opened. Lu Yanbei, having just finished showering, emerged with his long legs. Su He couldn't stop in time and blundered straight into him.
"Ugh..." His chest was so hard.
Su He lost her grip, and the contents of the bag scattered all over the floor. What made Su He want to find a hole to burrow into was that she accidentally tugged at the bathrobe of the influential figure, revealing his good physique to her.
Seeing his firm chest and chiseled abs, Su He was completely stunned.
Lu Yanbei clicked his tongue, a hint of amusement flashing across his stern face. He didn't rush to put on his clothes but took a step forward and pinched Su He's chin. "I've noticed you seem to enjoy throwing yourself into my arms? It was the same at the banquet last time! Could it be, as your best friend said, you've always coveted my body?"
"No, no!" Su He's face turned bright red, and she quickly distanced herself.
"Oh?" He deliberately drew out the end of his sentence, adding a touch of ambiguity. "You're truly a hypocrite! Your mouth says no, but your body is very honest..."
Just as Su He was about to retort, she felt something flowing from her nose. It was hot and uncontrollable, dripping onto the smooth marble floor.
Drip, drip, it was exceptionally clear.
Su He raised her hand to wipe it and saw that her fingers were stained red.
"Blood..." Su He's eyes widened, and she stammered out the word. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
