Chapter 734 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (12)
Lu Chen did not answer her question.
Mu Zhou didn't seem to care.
She met Lu Chen's gaze intently and said, word by word:
"Actually, I didn't like this movie as much after I grew up because I didn't like the years when the male and female leads were separated."
During their time apart, they kept themselves busy, but their hearts remained empty.
So much so that after this unexpected meeting, they could no longer control their feelings for each other.
Mu Zhou's eyes were deep, her gaze fixed on his tense face:
"If it were me, I wouldn't waste so many years just to test whether this relationship is important enough to me. If I like someone, I will be with him."
As she spoke, she moved a little closer.
Lu Chen inexplicably thought of that famous scene in the movie.
The female lead takes the initiative to approach, and then she and the male lead share a romantic and passionate kiss.
It was as if the whole world was playing music for them.
For a fleeting moment, he felt as if Mu Zhou was truly getting closer and closer.
He suddenly held his breath.
Mu Zhou suddenly stopped, a playful smile playing on his lips:
"It seems that Brother Shen isn't very interested in these kinds of romance movies."
She took a step back, instantly breaking the delicate atmosphere.
Mu Zhou turned around and continued strolling on the bridge, enjoying the evening breeze.
Lu Chen remained standing there, a complex expression on his handsome face.
His chest heaved, and the color in his eyes shifted.
His gaze lingered on Mu Zhou's retreating figure. He slowly raised his hand to adjust his glasses and followed after him.
*
Mu Zhou and Lu Chen returned to China together.
After getting off the plane, I went back to the Lu family home.
Grandpa Lu was in a good mood when he learned that the two had gone on a business trip together and returned together.
He originally didn't plan to make his birthday celebration too grand.
However, given that Mu Zhou and Lu Chen have no plans to hold a wedding for the time being, he intends to announce their marriage at his birthday banquet.
Because of the last art exhibition, their marriage has been announced, and many people have come to ask Grandpa Lu if it's true or not, so he also wants to take this opportunity to confirm it.
Grandpa Lu asked for their opinions.
Lu Chen glanced at Mu Zhou, just as she looked over.
She raised an eyebrow and spoke slowly:
"Great, that saves me the trouble of explaining to each one individually. Does Brother Chen have any objections?"
Lu Chen's lips curved slightly:
"No comment."
The two locked eyes for a moment, when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps and a stern rebuke came from the entrance to the living room:
"I have an opinion!"
Mu Zhou looked up and saw Lu Ting come in.
His face was ashen and his chest heaving violently.
"I disagree, Grandpa! How can you admit it publicly at your birthday banquet? What am I supposed to do after that?!"
Grandpa Lu pursed his lips, his expression serious:
"What does this have to do with you? This is your older brother and sister-in-law's business!"
Looking at the two sitting together, Lu Ting felt an intense irritation; he didn't want to pretend any longer.
"Grandpa, you all know that Mu Zhou and I have been together for so many years, so why are you all pretending that nothing happened? It's not fair to me to do this."
Grandpa Lu was so angry that he gasped for breath and pointed at him, shouting sternly:
"Shut up! You're the one who's been promiscuous and messed around with women, doing things that betrayed Xiao Mu. How dare you say that?"
"I didn't, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Lu Ting instinctively denied it, and just as he was about to continue arguing, Lu Chen suddenly spoke up:
"go out."
He looked at Lu Ting, a hint of barely perceptible danger in his cold voice.
When Lu Ting faces him, he always feels inferior in terms of presence.
He glanced at his grandfather, who was panting heavily with anger, and at Mu Zhou, who looked disapproving, and finally went upstairs indignantly.
Grandpa Lu didn't come out to eat dinner; he just had it delivered to his room.
After being criticized by his family members, Lu Ting took the initiative to apologize to his grandfather and then quietly returned to the restaurant.
At this moment, only Mu Zhou and Lu Chen were in the small restaurant.
The two sat side by side, and Mu Zhou placed a piece of bitter melon in Lu Chen's bowl:
"Try it, it's so bitter."
Lu Chen calmly picked it up, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said without changing his expression:
"Yes, it is indeed very bitter."
The interaction between the two was natural and intimate, which made Lu Ting a little envious.
In the past, Mu Zhou also forced him to eat some strange things.
He never imagined that what he considered ordinary would no longer belong to him.
How exactly did he and Mu Zhou get to this point?
Mu Zhou saw him and greeted him like an ordinary friend:
"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and eat."
Her composure only made Lu Ting more defensive.
He would rather Mu Zhou hate him and treat him coldly than let her feel at ease.
He clenched his fists tightly, but eventually walked over and sat down opposite them.
It seemed like he was the only one who ate the meal without any enjoyment.
After dinner, Mu Zhou was called to the study by Grandpa Lu, leaving only Lu Chen and Lu Ting in the living room.
Lu Chen sat on the sofa, holding a newspaper and reading it intently.
His expression was focused, and his sharp features appeared much gentler behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
He was always so calm, composed, reserved, and collected.
Lu Ting used to admire him for this, but now he only hates his composure.
Lu Ting gritted his teeth silently, unable to hold back, and began to criticize:
"Brother, how can you not feel any remorse after stealing my girlfriend?"
Lu Chen looked up from the newspaper and glanced at him indifferently:
"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
Lu Ting could no longer maintain his aloofness; his tone was full of malice.
"How can you so comfortably enjoy Mu Zhou's closeness to you? You know perfectly well that she loves me the most, she's just being stubborn with me! She's childish and vengeful, are you going to join in her foolishness? Don't you know what the consequences will be if this gets out?"
Lu Chen slowly folded the newspaper and looked at him:
"I don't want to repeat the details of this matter. I only care about the result. Now, Mu Zhou is my wife. You should show her some respect."
This makes it clear that he won't let go.
Lu Ting was somewhat bewildered.
He never expected that Lu Chen would actually treat Mu Zhou as his wife.
He always thought that Lu Chen knew very well that this was a matter between him and Mu Zhou, and that this marriage was nothing but a farce that would end sooner or later.
However, if Lu Chen really sets his sights on Mu Zhou, Lu Ting knows very well that he has almost no competitive advantage.
Lu Chen has always been ruthless; how could someone who can succeed in the business world not be cunning?
How could he possibly win?
The only thing he could rely on was Mu Zhou's heart.
But, would Mu Zhou still listen to his explanation?
Lu Ting was gripped by immense panic.
Lu Chen was not as calm and composed as he appeared.
He did not believe that Mu Zhou was completely unloved by Lu Ting at this time.
It was only because she was heartbroken by Lu Ting that her pride wouldn't allow her to continue loving him.
Therefore, he wouldn't remind Lu Ting what he should be doing at this moment.
Lu Chen lowered his brows slightly, concealing the darkness in his eyes.
Soon, Mu Zhou came out of the study.
Holding the documents, she walked towards Lu Chen:
"let's go."
Lu Chen stood up, took Mu Zhou's coat from the maid, and put it on her.
The two left together.
