Chapter 214: Not Understanding

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing Lu Qingye’s cold expression and a hint of anger in his eyes, Jiang Yi was curious. “But you asked me to do something, so you have to let me know the reason, right?”

Jiang Yi knew that Lu Qingye had always had a good temper. Even if he was superior to others, he would never embarrass them in business.

Lu Qingye kept a straight face with his other hand still in his pocket. He held the room card tightly in his palm and replied casually, “A child at home has been wronged.”

…

Jiang Yi: “What’s wrong with you? You said that you would go back after seeing CEO Wang. It’s already ten o’clock.”

The banquet lasted for more than two hours. At first, they wanted to say goodbye and leave, but the banquet was about to end and Lu Qingye and Jiang Yi had yet to leave.

Lu Qingye had not touched a drop of wine. The red wine in his hand was like a decoration. When others came to toast him, he only clinked glasses with them and did not say much. If it were any other time, he would have left long ago. He would not be as free and elegant as tonight.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the watch on his wrist. There was less than ten minutes until the end of the cocktail party. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “You can go back first. I still have something to do later.”

“What is it?” Jiang Yi was very curious. Seeing that the cocktail party was about to end, he didn’t lack this bit of time. “I’ll accompany you for a while more.”

Lu Qingye looked up at him. “Aren’t you afraid of your girlfriend checking up on you?”

He pushed up the frame of his glasses and said softly, “If you’re not afraid, why should I be?”

“…”

Ten minutes later, there were not many guests left. Lu Qingye chose to leave. After getting into the car, he told the driver the location of the hotel.

When Jiang Yi came, he was in the same car as him. Now that he was going back, he was also in Lu Qingye’s car.

When he heard that he was going to the hotel, Jiang Yi’s eyes widened. Just as he was about to get out of the car, the driver was a step ahead of him. He locked the car door and set off.

Jiang Yi knew that his escape plan had failed, so he silently retracted his hand and tilted his head to look at Lu Qingye. “You said you were going to do something. Are you coming to the hotel to do it?”

When Lu Qingye heard this, he raised his eyes lazily and looked in his direction. He said calmly, “I told you, don’t come if you’re afraid of your girlfriend checking up on you.”

“No… you didn’t say anything just now. How would I know that you were going to do something at the hotel?” Jiang Yi’s mind was suddenly in a mess. He wanted to ask the driver to stop the car, but he couldn’t overcome his curiosity. “Are you rushing to have a kid?”

“It’s not that.”

“Does your child at home know?”

“No.”

Jiang Yi took off his glasses in surprise and turned slightly to look up at Lu Qingye’s side profile. “You weren’t like this in the past? You became bad the moment you got married?”

“Maybe.”

“…”

After a short conversation, Jiang Yi had already imagined a big show in his mind. Before he could figure it out, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

After the driver unlocked the car, Lu Qingye was about to get out when Jiang Yi suddenly stopped him. “You don’t even understand what’s going on at home, yet you’re still messing around outside?”

Lu Qingye’s lips were pursed into a thin line, and his eyes were filled with confusion. It was obvious that he did not understand what he was trying to say.

He looked at Jiang Yi and replied coldly, “If I don’t mess with others, should I mess with you?”

With that, Lu Qingye got out of the car and walked past the front desk towards the elevator.

Jiang Yi felt that he was acting a little strange tonight, so he got out of the car and followed him.

However, Jiang Yi didn’t manage to catch Lu Qingye’s elevator. He could only memorize his floor number and wait anxiously for the other elevator to arrive.

Lu Qingye arrived at the corresponding floor, got out of the elevator, and walked straight ahead. Then, he took out the room card from his pocket, found the corresponding room number, and placed the room card in the sensor area on the door.

Just as Lu Qingye opened the door, Jiang Yi walked out of the elevator.

Seeing him push open the door, Jiang Yi walked out and was about to speak when Lu Qingye entered.

The moment Lu Qingye entered, he saw the theme and design of the room, as well as various equipment. It really refreshed his understanding.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Lu Qingye pursed his thin lips. There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were dark and cold.

There happened to be a sofa beside him. Lu Qingye sat down casually with his legs crossed and his hand kept turning the ring.

At this moment, Jiang Yi was still pacing back and forth in the corridor, not knowing what to do. He gripped his phone and hesitated to make a call…

Lu Qingye stayed in the room for about three to five minutes before the person in the bathroom came out of the shower. “F*ck! Who are you?”

The man who had just come out of the bathroom was wearing a rose-red bathrobe and had wet hair. When he saw a man sitting on the sofa, his jaw almost dropped.

Hearing a voice, Lu Qingye raised his cold eyes and looked straight at him. He said unhurriedly, “Did you give my wife the room card?”

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Lu Qingye’s cold voice carried a hint of oppression. “Why are you looking for her?”

The man had drunk a little at the cocktail party just now. He hesitated for a few seconds before remembering that something like this had happened. However, when he saw Lu Qingye’s sinister face, he did not dare to acknowledge it. “Are you crazy?”

Lu Qingye’s expression remained unchanged. He stood up from the sofa and walked towards that person, scaring the other party into not moving.

As he walked, he tugged at his tie and said coldly, “Why don’t I play with you?”

He watched as Lu Qingye approached him step by step. His calm appearance was like the calm before a storm, paving the way for a hurricane. The pressure he gave off became even stronger.

“Are you crazy? Who wants to play with you…” The man in the bathrobe was so frightened by him that he retreated and fled.

Jiang Yi was about to boycott the situation. Just as he prepared to leave he unexpectedly heard the door open.

He turned around and saw a man in a bathrobe running out in a panic.

“D*mn!” Jiang Yi blinked. When he saw that it was really a man who had run out, he was surprised again. “And it’s a man?”

When the man disappeared, Lu Qingye happened to come out.

Jiang Yi was dumbfounded when he saw the mess on Lu Qingye’s collar. “Brother, you’re too…”

“Too what?” Lu Qingye calmly straightened his tie and said calmly, “Don’t let this go either.”

“Don’t let go of what?” At this moment, Jiang Yi’s mood was still a little indescribable. When he heard Lu Qingye’s words, not only did he not understand, but he was also distracted.

Lu Qingye looked down at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes. “I meant his business card.”

“So it’s the same thing?” After Jiang Yi reacted, he boldly heaved a sigh of relief. “You should have said so earlier. I thought… you were going to mess with me next.”

Lu Qingye: “…”

After Meng Chuyuan returned home, she took a shower and lay down.

She thought that Lu Qingye would be back soon after she left the cocktail party, but it was already past ten o’clock and she didn’t see him.

She lay there for a long time without falling asleep, so she sat up and started to swipe her phone.
