After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Strike up a conversation

There was a sudden touch on his wrist, and Meng Chuyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at his hand.

Lu Qingye didn't use much force. He naturally grabbed her slender and soft wrist. The body temperature of the two of them was transmitted to each other, and the weak feeling of warmth was quietly waking him up.

She and Lu Qingye looked away from their hands, raised their heads one after another, their eyes collided, and they looked at each other in tacit understanding.

“I'll take it back for you.”

“This scarf is for you.”

The two of them spoke almost at the same time. After the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became a little wonderful. When he realized that he was still holding her wrist, Lu Qingye slowly let go.

After feeling the hand on her wrist being removed, Meng Chuyuan's hand was free again. She moved a little, picked up the gift box, and looked down at the champagne-colored silk scarf.

She raised her eyes and smiled calmly: "Given it to me?"

Lu Qingye nodded lightly and said to her, "I bought you a gift. Can you try it on?"

He has never found a chance to give the scarf to Meng Chuyuan. Since she saw it in advance, it was good, so that he would not have to worry about it in his heart.

Meng Chuyuan gently picked up the silk scarf in the gift box with her fingers. She was not in a hurry to try it on. Instead, she looked at Lu Qingye curiously: "We are not in a relationship, right?"

When she suddenly said this, Lu Qingye paused and his face became slightly gloomy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Meng Chuyuan tilted his head, held up the silk scarf in his hand and asked, "Is your gift too abrupt?"

Lu Qingye's eyebrows were a little unnatural, and his eyes were drooping. He did not dare to look at Meng Chuyuan, and said softly: "As a courtesy, if you knit a scarf, I will give you a silk scarf."

“…” Meng Chuyuan didn't know whether to tell him when he mentioned the scarf. It was actually an accident.

She never wanted to give the knitted scarf to anyone in the first place.

Seeing Lu Qingye's handsome but ignorant face, Meng Chuyuan hesitated to speak. In the end, he did not tell him the "cruel truth" and accepted the silk scarf he gave generously.

Lu Qingye was packing his suitcase at the moment, while Meng Chuyuan leaned against the cabinet next to him, looking down at him.

She had already finished taking a shower and had nothing to do at the moment. She was accompanying Lu Qingye in the cloakroom, chatting wordlessly.

“You slept in the study last night?”

She heard Lu Qianling mention it in the afternoon and realized that Lu Qingye had been to the study last night. Then she suddenly remembered that when she got up today, Lu Qingye's quilt was covering her.

Meng Chuyuan was thinking: Did he stay in the study all night?

He frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "...Did I wake you last night?"

He left carefully last night, without turning on the light or making any sound. Could it be that she heard him when he closed the door?

“That's not true.”

Lu Qingye probably didn't have a good rest last night. He had no difficulty falling asleep tonight. But occasionally, Meng Chuyuan would take away his quilt unconsciously and use it as a pillow. Later in the night, Lu Qingye would use it directly on his own. She used the pillow to replace the quilt in her arms.

Three days after returning to China, Lu Qingye worked normally and took time to contact his assistant.

On this day, Assistant Yang finished his work report as usual and chatted off-topic: "Mr. Lu, when will you come back? I don't feel safe without you around."

Lu Qingye's eyes revealed a cold light and he said coldly: "You are a big man, what sense of security do you want?"

"Mr. Lu, I can't handle these foreigners." Assistant Yang usually seems to be a very good person, but he can only communicate without any obstacles in front of acquaintances. If he is left alone in a foreign country, it's really embarrassing. Yes, it feels like the earth is not working properly.

“Wait a few more days and I'll be there after I've taken care of the rest.”

A client learned that he had just returned to China two days ago, and the client cordially invited him to attend a cocktail party tomorrow night.

Originally, Lu Qingye wanted to refuse, but the two companies are still cooperating, and there may be a possibility of renewing the contract in the future. In order to leave a way out and meet each other someday, he agreed.

Just at noon yesterday, Meng Chuyuan also received an invitation to the cocktail party, but she received it a little earlier than Lu Qingye.

The other party didn't know that Lu Qingye had returned to China at first, so he sent the prepared invitation letter to Meng Chuyuan. As a result, he saw Lu Qingye himself when he was socializing outside that afternoon.

He had no idea that Meng Chuyuan had an invitation letter in his hand. For this kind of cocktail party, Lu Qingye was just going for a formality and did not want to take Meng Chuyuan with him.

When he got home in the evening, Lu Qingye simply said to her: "I have something to do tomorrow night, so I should be back later."

Meng Chuyuan: "What a coincidence, I have something to do tomorrow night."

She has been quite free recently and has painted a lot of paintings at home. Maybe she is tired of staying there. She received the invitation letter to the cocktail party yesterday and wanted to go there and have some fun.

It doesn't matter whether she knows someone or not, she just wants to see the world and have some food and drinks. What a great opportunity this is.

Lu Qingye didn't ask her where she was going, nor what time she would be back tomorrow night. Instead, she told Meng Chuyuan to have fun outside and pay attention to safety.

On the night of the reception, Meng Chuyuan came from home and asked the driver to take her directly to the reception.

It was around seven o'clock in the evening when she arrived at her destination. There were quite a lot of people there, but unfortunately she didn't recognize any of them.

Someone had seen Mrs. Li at her birthday party before, so he came over to say hello briefly, but left quickly.

Meng Chuyuan wore a relatively low-key white lace dress and found a corner to sit down. She thought that this would reduce her presence and at the same time give her a sense of participation. However, many people still took the initiative to chat with her. of.

“This beautiful young lady, can you leave your contact information?” A strange man held a glass of red wine in his hand, dressed neatly, with a smile on his lips.

He had been observing Meng Chuyuan not far away for a while, and saw her sitting alone in the dessert area. Her back was quite attractive, so he took the initiative to come over and sit next to her.

Meng Chuyuan turned her head to look at the man beside her and smiled helplessly at him: "Sorry, I didn't bring my mobile phone."

"It's okay, I have a business card." The man took out a business card from somewhere and handed it to her.

Meng Chuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced down at his business card, and took it calmly: "Mr. He? Are you a caterer at home?"

The man smiled and said: "Yes, you can eat at my restaurant next time."

“Okay, I understand.” Meng Chuyuan put the business card on the table, withdrew his gaze and did not look at him again.

The man wanted to chat more with Meng Chuyuan, but unfortunately someone called him away, and then he passed by several strange men one after another, who also left her business cards.

Not long after, Meng Chuyuan had a stack of business cards on her desk, and none of them seemed to know her identity.
