CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: DRIVING TO HER HOME

"But you suddenly confessing to Su Xingwan took me by surprise."

Lu Yun felt a tinge of irritation inside.

"She doesn’t know it’s me; I used a different alias."

Ye Yixing: ???

What do you mean?

He heard his cousin’s brief explanation.

Ye Yixing understood.

"So, the advertising agency Su Xingwan mentioned before was actually you?"

After he said this, he continued, "If that’s the case and you got rejected, it doesn’t matter. Su Xingwan doesn’t know it’s you. Confessing over the internet, how’s that different from online dating? She doesn’t know who you are or what you look like, so of course she rejected you."

Lu Yun: "Yes."

"Plus, her rejecting you is actually a good thing. If she really accepted your pursuit, it would mean you’re completely out of luck, wouldn’t it?"

Ye Yixing patted his shoulder: "So, are you planning to go back to your place now?"

"I don’t know. I’ll see."

Lu Yun finished speaking and glanced at him: "You’re not getting out of the car yet?"

Ye Yixing: "Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t need me to stay?"

"No need."

"Alright then, get some rest when you get back." Ye Yixing finished speaking and got out of the car.

Afterwards, his cousin’s car drove away immediately.

Ye Yixing sighed.

He returned to the banquet and saw it had already ended, with most of the guests gone.

Ye’s father saw his son enter and quickly pulled him over, saying, "How is your cousin doing?"

"Seems alright."

Then, Ye Yixing looked at his father with resentment.

"Dad, why didn’t you tell me about today’s event?"

Ye’s father felt guilty.

"Well... I didn’t expect Lu Yun to react so strongly, did I? If he doesn’t like the marriage alliance, he should just reject it directly. Why did it become such a mess with his father, like they’re enemies?"

"That’s because none of you understand my cousin. Plus, he confessed to the girl he likes today and got rejected, so he’s naturally in a bad mood. Uncle Lu just happened to provoke him tonight; it’s no surprise to be scolded."

Ye’s father was stunned.

"What do you mean, confess and get rejected? Your cousin has someone he likes?"

"Yes."

Ye’s father was surprised, his face showed an indescribable expression.

He was shocked for a while before saying, "Someone like Lu Yun actually has a woman he likes?"

Ye Yixing looked at his father, whose face was full of disbelief.

Confused, he said, "What’s so surprising? Everyone has emotions and desires. It’s normal to have someone you like."

"Isn’t it? That’s not what I’m saying. It’s just because it’s Lu Yun."

If it were someone else, he wouldn’t react so strongly.

At this moment, Lu Guansheng, who hadn’t left yet, walked over.

He sighed: "I didn’t expect Lu Yun to throw such a big tantrum tonight because of the marriage alliance issue."

Ye’s father then narrated what his son had just told him.

Upon hearing it, Lu Guansheng was dumbfounded.

"No wonder. I thought he had just recently started liking that girl, still in the pursuit stage. Didn’t expect he confessed today."

Ye’s father was surprised: "You knew about it then?"

"I only found out a few hours ago. I didn’t think Lu Yun would agree to the marriage alliance tonight. But you know my brother’s temperament. Once he decides something, nothing we say makes a difference. Now my brother should learn his lesson."

"What about the Jiang Family? They used to have conflicts with them, did they offend them again this time?"

Lu Guansheng: "I secretly inquired earlier. The Jiang Family is fine, though a bit upset, they haven’t said much."

Ye’s father nodded: "Although your brother indeed wanted to marry into the Jiang Family, he didn’t announce it to everyone tonight. It was just like an introduction meeting, so the Jiang Family didn’t lose face. At most, the two didn’t fancy each other. The attention at the banquet was focused on the conflict between the Lu Family father and son."

Lu Guansheng nodded in agreement.

He also felt relieved that his brother didn’t go all out and announce the marriage publicly; otherwise, the Jiang Family would have truly lost face.

Sigh, who knows how the media will depict what happened at the banquet tomorrow.

Remember, the last trending news involving the Lu Family was when Lu Zhichen rejected a marriage proposal.

The Lu Family lost a lot of money back then, their stock prices plummeted, and competitors fiercely pressured them.

Honestly, as a member of the Lu Family, he doesn’t wish for this to happen again.

As night fell, stars scattered sparsely across the sky, while a gentle breeze blew, bringing a coolness that seeped into the heart.

A low-profile black car quietly parked under the building of a certain neighborhood.

Lu Yun sat in the car, his cold gaze lifted toward the second floor where the lights were already out.

Su Xingwan had fallen asleep for a while but was awakened by the weight of three little ones. She looked down and saw them lying on her, sleeping sweetly.

She reached for her phone and turned it on.

The light from the screen stung her eyes for a few seconds before she could look at it; it was already past eleven at night.

Since she sent that polite refusal message two hours ago, the man with tens of thousands of followers hadn’t replied.

She thought it was better this way.

No awkwardness between them.

Though she wasn’t sure if she could continue collaborating with their company for the fashion endorsements.

The three little ones pressing against her felt uncomfortable.

She moved slightly, then shifted them aside and got off the bed, put on a coat, turned on the living room light, and went to the dining table to pour some water.

Turning around, she seemed to notice a light flashing on the balcony.

She pulled aside the curtain and went out, seeing a black car parked below, appearing somewhat lonely in the night.

The car looked familiar, so she took a closer look.

Mr. Lu’s car?

She was surprised.

Why did he suddenly come here at this hour?

And he hadn’t called to notify her in advance.

At this moment, a window at the front of the car rolled down, and the man raised his head, meeting her gaze directly.

Su Xingwan: "..."

Now she had no choice but to go down.

Since it was so late, she didn’t bother changing clothes, casually put on a thick coat, and went down.

She walked over to the driver’s side and knocked on the car window.

Then slightly bent down and asked, "Mr. Lu, why are you here? They all fell asleep."

"I’m here to see you."

Su Xingwan was stunned.

"See me?"

"Would you like to sit inside for a while?" Lu Yun invited.

Su Xingwan hesitated for a moment, then opened the back door to go in, only to hear him say, "Could you sit at the front?"

Su Xingwan paused.

The next second, she closed the back door, then moved to the passenger side.

Lu Yun had already opened the car door for her, and Su Xingwan glanced at it, trying to ignore the faint odd feeling inside her, and sat down.

As soon as the car door was closed, the interior immediately felt narrow and cramped, and the air seemed stagnant.

Moreover, she somehow smelled a hint of alcohol on him.

"Mr. Lu, did you drink alcohol?"

"Yes, I drank a little. Does the smell bother you?"
