Teacher, spare me / her response / book loft
Fang Dongchen was a gentle person, but at this moment, looking at him answering "yes" with such confidence, he only felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, and the words that came out were somewhat unbridled.
"Mr. Lu, don't you feel ashamed of chasing after someone who used to be your student?"
Although he said something unpleasant, Lu Zhou didn't get angry. He just seriously and sternly refuted him word by word.
"Is it wrong to love someone? Must one consider her identity and background when loving someone? If so, that's called taking advantage of, not love!"
Fang Dongchen was refuted to the point where he couldn't say a word, his fists clenched tightly at his chest as it heaved violently. Lu Zhou's cold smile grew wider, his lips curling up into an elegant arc.
"Fang Dongchen, love is not something you can get just by quietly waiting and guarding. If you want to be with someone, you need to bravely speak out and pursue them. That's why you missed your chance with her for six whole years!"
He had already sent someone to investigate and found out that this boy named Fang Dongchen had also been secretly in love with her since high school. He even knew about his bitter pursuit of her to N city, only to lose track of her again. All he could say was, "Personality determines fate."
Fang Dongchen's warm and gentle personality, even if Lu Zhouyue wasn't by her side today, would still be accompanied by another man, but it would never be Fang Dongchen. A man like Fang Dongchen is not suitable for taking the initiative to pursue girls, but rather suited for passively accepting a girl's pursuit.
Fang Dongchen's face turned white as soon as he finished speaking, his hands clenched tightly and his face was full of painful expressions. He admitted that Lu Zhouyue was right, in high school he didn't dare to confess to her because she was already with Chen Qingchu, and during the university years he didn't have the courage to seriously ask about her whereabouts. Now that they've reunited again, he still doesn't have the courage to confess, it's his own cowardice that made him miss her...
Lu Zhou glanced at Fang Dongchen's expression without a word, sneering in his heart. This young whippersnapper dared to compete with him for women? He should go back and cultivate for a few more years, mastering the art of hiding one's emotions before trying again.
He suppressed the emotions in his eyes and lowered his voice again, saying,
"I called you up today just to say that if you think it's despicable for me to have such thoughts about my own students, then isn't it even more despicable for you to have ulterior motives towards a married woman?"
Fang Dongchen's face was full of astonishment
"What did you say? A married woman? You..."
"That's right! It's just as you thought, we've already gotten our certificate a long time ago. She is now my wife, Lu Zhouyue!"
His cold and distant smile.
"How come she never mentioned it? And also didn't see you guys getting married?"
Fang Dongchen's eyes were full of suspicion. With his status and prestige, how could such a big thing as marriage be done without fanfare?
"I'm sure you also know her personality, she prefers to keep a low profile!"
Lu Zhou calmly and composedly replied without changing his expression or skipping a beat.
Fang Dongchen finally regained some of his composure and sneered coldly after hearing this response.
"Is she just being low-key or is she actually unwilling to enter this marriage?"
According to his understanding of her, she and Chen Qingchu were deeply in love at first, and he had never heard that she had any special feelings for Lu Zhouyuan. How could she suddenly marry him? Something must have happened in between!
Fang Dongchen's words happened to step on Lu Zhouyue's sore spot, his heart uncontrollably ached for a moment and his face changed slightly, but in an instant he regained control of his emotions and calmly looked at Fang Dongchen saying,
"No matter whether she was willing or forced at first, you can't deny that she has developed feelings for me now, can you?"
Although she never said anything, he was such a sensitive person, especially when it came to her affairs, and he put thousands of times more thought into it. As the two people got along with each other, he gradually discovered her transformation, his heart was overjoyed, but on the surface, he still pretended to be unmoved, because he was afraid of scaring her off.
It's Fang Dongchen's turn to be silent, he can see that she is completely dependent on the man beside her. Perhaps she herself has not realized it, when she mentions him, she will blush and smile uncontrollably, she will consider his thoughts, such as that night they wanted to go sing, she even wanted to give up because he was not willing.
He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then turned around to make a swift exit from this suffocating place. If she were still single, or just had a boyfriend, or even if she were married but didn't have that man in her heart, he might try to pursue her.
But now she has a sweet marriage and loves the man who gave her that marriage, what qualifications does he have to stay by her side? In that case, he is truly the despicable third party who destroys other people's marriages without any discount!
As soon as Fang Dongchen left, Lu Zhouyue pressed the internal line to call her in. She seemed busy and was very annoyed that he had called her in so unreasonably. He didn't care about her feelings, pulled her into his arms and sat her on his lap, then spoke in a bad tone.
"I want to make our relationship public!"
He couldn't take it anymore, couldn't take the daily anxiety of being on guard against the appearance of little rivals, couldn't take the suffocating feeling of never being acknowledged. Whether she liked it or not, he was going to make it public anyway.
Who would have thought she raised her head and looked at him seriously
Half a sound, faintly spitting out a word,
"Good!"
He stared at her in shock, his eyes disbelieving as he gripped her shoulders tightly and asked again.
"Really?"
"Hmm!"
Xu Liu'ou looked at his face with a mixture of surprise, joy and incredulity, nodding seriously.
Actually, I knew there was no escape long ago, but I've been struggling in vain all along. It's just that I'm not willing to be trapped by him like this, but at the same time, I have to admit that even if she rejects him again and again, warns herself not to love him, reminds herself of what he did before, his love has really become a strong poison over the years, slowly invading her internal organs.
He held her face and kissed her forehead wildly, his tone full of anxiety.
"Liuyi, how did you suddenly agree, actually it doesn't matter if you refuse, I promised to wait until you graduate before making it public..."
She suddenly agreed so readily that it made him uneasy, he thought of the things he had promised her before, and suddenly felt that his request was a bit overbearing, unreasonable.
His uneasy appearance made Xu Liu'er feel a dull ache and sourness in her chest, she pulled over his thick palm and held it lightly, her black glass-like eyes staring straight at him.
"Shūen, I was too selfish and inconsiderate of your feelings before. Thank you for always being tolerant. Since we've decided to get along well, I should choose to accept all this!"
She finished speaking and gently closed her eyes, although she didn't know if she had already fallen in love with him or not, nor did she know if she would love him as intensely and recklessly as she loved Chen Qingchu, but she knew that he was now an indispensable part of her life.
Lu Zhouyue listened to her words, his emotions could no longer be described as excitement, he even felt that the corners of his eyes had begun to seep with moisture, he held her tightly in his arms and called out her name again and again.
"Flowing gently, flowing gently, thank you, thank you for accepting me!"
After all these years of waiting, chasing and paying out, he finally waited for the day when she was willing to respond to him. The hardships and difficulties in between are only known to himself. Although she didn't say she loves him, maybe even if one day she falls in love with him, it won't be as deep and intense as his love for her, but that doesn't matter, as long as he is in her heart, that's enough.
Xu Liu'ou simply closed her eyes and let him hold her in his arms, rubbing her hard, the force was so great that it almost broke her bones, she didn't struggle, she knew he was using this way to calm down his own palpitations.
After a while, he let go of her and picked up the phone next to him, wanting to make a call. She looked at the exaggerated smile on his face and felt a bad premonition rising from the bottom of her heart, so she quickly reached out to stop him and asked.
"What are you doing?"
His face was full of seriousness
"Notify the PR department and have them release the news that I'm already married!"
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Did you have to make such a big fuss about it?"
"I can't wait any longer, I want the whole world to know that you are my woman, Lu Zhuiyue's woman, and make those men with ulterior motives towards you stop right there!"
He smiled at her sparkling eyes, speaking in a childish tone like a big boy.
She sighed and looked at him,
"Why don't we just go with the flow? If we're caught by the media, then we'll openly admit it. If not, we can continue living our peaceful lives as usual. Isn't that okay?"
He lowered his head and pressed a kiss onto her red lips.
"Alright! Have it your way!"
Then she deepened the kiss, her lips tangled with his, and she didn't refuse. She raised her hand to hook around his arm, shyly responding to him. In the bright office, warm sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling glass, casting a glow on the two people tightly embracing each other...
