C11 (2/2)

In due course, a series of protests came from Joe's stomach, reminding him that it was time for her to eat.

Sigh!

Qiao Yifan heaved a heavy sigh and pouted, somewhat dissatisfied. He then murmured in a low voice, ”Some people are really impolite. I don't know if I'll notify the family if they don't return so late.”

Looking at the table full of tasty dishes, Qiao Yifan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a ”gulp”. He felt himself getting hungrier and hungrier, and even his own eyes lit up as he looked at the dishes.

Secretly rubbing his stomach, Qiao Yifan silently hinted at himself: She's not hungry, she's not hungry!

After saying that, Qiao Yifan turned on his phone and began to play with it. He wanted to use it to divert his attention so that he wouldn't have to think about eating.

After a few rounds, Qiao Yifan easily cleared the level and logged out of the game. Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock.

”Is he not coming back? If he doesn't come back, the food will be cold. ” Looking at his phone, Qiao Yifan couldn't help but mumble to himself.

Just as Qiao Yifan finished talking, the butler came out of the bedroom and into the dining room. She looked at Qiao Yifan who had been enduring his hunger and waiting for Mr Lu to come back and felt some heartache.

Thinking of what he had to say, the housekeeper couldn't say it, but in the end, the butler couldn't help but remind him, ”Miss, why don't you eat first. It's time for now. I'm sure Mr Lu won't come back.”

Hearing the housekeeper's voice, Qiao Yifan turned his head and stood up from his chair with a ”whoosh”. Because he was a bit anxious, the chair almost fell over.

”Did Qing Shen call you?” Qiao Yifan looked at the butler and asked impatiently.

Even his eyes, which had been emotionless all this while, suddenly lit up.

She thought about it. Maybe Lu Qing wasn't willing to call her, so he called the butler.

”No, why would Mr Lu call me? It's just that at eight o'clock, as long as Mr Lu doesn't come back, he won't be back at night.” The butler explained to Qiao Yifan with a smile.

”Did he not come back often before? ”Also, if he doesn't go home, where will he go to rest at night?” After listening to the butler's explanation, Qiao Yifan did not become enlightened. Instead, the doubt in his heart became even stronger.

For a moment, Qiao Yifan felt that his understanding of Lu Qing was simply too little.

Thus, he rushed towards the butler and asked a few questions in one go.

”Oh, yes, Mr. Lu rarely comes back. Under normal circumstances, there are a lot of things in the company. After Mr. Lu is done, he will sleep in the company, or he will spend the night in an apartment near the city center.” The butler patiently explained to Qiao Yifan. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, ”That's right, and sometimes, Mr. Lu also goes to the hotel to sleep.”

After listening to the butler's explanation, Qiao Yifan's heart instantly felt much better.

Often not coming back?

So it turned out that Lu Qing did not come back because she was here tonight. This was just a habit of his.

Qiao Yifan silently comforted himself and explained.

Little did he know that it was because Qiao Yifan was here tonight that Lu Qingzhen had not returned.

It wasn't that he didn't want to see her; on the contrary, he wanted to see her.

However, everything happened too quickly. Lu Qing felt that he needed to give each other some time to calm down, and also needed to give himself some time to slow down …
