Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

After Su Qian left, Lu Yanqi didn't say anything. He leaned on the sofa, staring at the ceiling.

Seeing Lu Yanqi like this, Lin Cong felt a little nervous, "Lu Yanqi?" she called tentatively.

"Hmm." Although Lu Yanqi responded, he still didn't say anything.

"Why don't you say something? What's going on?" Lin Cong was a little anxious. Thinking that Su Qian was still outside, she just wanted Lu Yanqi to explain things quickly. She was afraid that Su Qian would misunderstand something.

Hearing Lin Cong's anxious tone, Lu Yanqi finally got up.

He looked at Lin Cong and forced a smile: "Little Lin Cong, why are you back so late?"

"The company is having a team building, so we went out to eat together."

"happy?"

"Well, I'm quite happy."

Lin Cong knew that Lu Yanqi must have encountered something. Because she saw that there was really no light in Lu Yanqi's eyes, and he exuded an air of helplessness and despair.

Lu Yanqi held up Lin Cong's face. Lin Cong wanted to break free, but Lu Yanqi said, "Don't move. Let me take a good look at you."

"What happened?" Lin Cong frowned. She felt that Lu Yanqi seemed very sad.

"Nothing, I may have to go back on my word." Lu Yanqi let go of Lin Cong and scratched his hair.

"What's the breaking of promise?"

Lu Yanqi smiled, a smile that was helpless. "I've broken my promise to you for pursuing me relentlessly."

Lin Cong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and half-jokingly asked, "Are you interested in a girl?"

"Lin Cong, I'm sorry for that day. I couldn't help you at all."

Lu Yanqi's heart ached when he thought of the day when Lin Cong was bullied by Bai Mo.

"Oh, it's all in the past. I know that no one dares to offend the Bai family easily."

Hearing Lin Cong say this, Lu Yanqi's heart ached even more. He would rather Lin Cong blame him and scold him. Perhaps if he had the chance to do it again, he would choose to protect Lin Cong without hesitation.

"I'm going back to City B tomorrow."

"Well, are you done with things here?"

"That's about it. I don't know when I'll come next time."

"It's okay, it's not far away. I can accompany you if you want to drink someday."

"Okay, I have to go."

Lin Cong looked at Lu Yanqi with some concern.

"Xiao Lin Cong, you have to be happy, you know?"

"I will."

"Be happy too."

Lin Cong nodded. She felt that Lu Yanqi’s words were not so much a farewell as a final goodbye.

Lu Yanqi walked to the door and stopped again, "Lin Cong, if you encounter any problems, remember to come to me, don't be afraid of trouble."

"it is good."

After saying that, Lu Yanqi left. From beginning to end, he didn't seem to say anything special, but it seemed that every word he said was very special. Those words contained reluctance, loss, helplessness, and worry.

Lin Cong felt as if she had lost the only friend she could trust, and her heart seemed to be blocked by something, making her feel uncomfortable.

When Lu Yanqi walked downstairs, Su Qian was smoking. Seeing Lu Yanqi coming, Su Qian put out the cigarette.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Su would smoke?"

"Would you like one?"

"No, I can't."

Lu Yanqi walked over and stood next to Su Qian.

"Mr. Su, why aren't you going home so late?"

"Isn't it the same for you?"

"Of course I'm different. I'm a bachelor, so it's normal for me to show up downstairs of the girl I like."

"I said, I'm here to get my clothes."

"Su Qian." Lu Yanqi called Su Qian very seriously.

"You have a family, don't forget your identity."

"Mr. Lu is meddling too much."

"If you hurt Lin Cong, I will never let you go."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Su Qian's tone was somewhat provocative.

"You know what I mean. Mr. Su, take care of yourself."

Men understand men best. Lu Yanqi could tell that Su Qian must have other thoughts about Lin Cong. The look in Su Qian's eyes when he looked at Lin Cong was definitely not deceptive.

"I won't hurt her."

"Then I hope you'll keep your word."

After saying that, Lu Yanqi waved at Su Qian, turned around and left.

After Lu Yanqi left, Su Qian looked up. The lights in Lin Cong's house were still on, but he no longer wanted to go up. Lu Yanqi's words woke Su Qian up, and he couldn't help but ask himself, was it really right for him to stay close to Lin Cong these days?

Even if he doesn't love Xia Ruohan, they are married after all, and there is Xiaoyou between them. These are indisputable facts.

If Lin Cong was the cause of rumors spread because of him, he would surely feel guilty to death.

Thinking of this, Su Qian sent a message to Lin Cong, telling him to bring the clothes to the company tomorrow and he would go home first.

When Lin Cong received Su Qian's message, he felt a little relieved and a little lost.

For Lin Cong, facing Su Qian was not an easy task. She had no idea what to say or do, and most of the time, she could only remain silent. However, she also longed to see Su Qian, even if it was just to sit quietly.

After Lu Yanqi returned to the hotel, he collapsed on the bed. He turned on his phone and saw a message from Bai Luo.

"Lu Yanqi, where was this photo in your circle of friends taken?"

I took a look at the screenshot and found that it was sent while having breakfast at Lin Cong's house.

Lu Yanqi didn't want to pay attention to Bai Luo and simply threw his phone aside.

A few minutes later, Lu Yanqi's phone rang. It was Bai Luo calling.

Lu Yanqi sighed, but still answered the phone, "What's the matter, Miss?"

"Tell me, who made this unique breakfast?"

"I'll delete it, okay? Just wait for me to delete it."

"Where are you? I want to find you."

"I need to rest now. I have a flight tomorrow morning."

"Are you going back to City B?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll go back with you?"

"Miss, why are you going back with me?"

"Tell your family I want to marry you."

"Miss, there are so many men in the world. Go find more men. Don't hang yourself on this tree like me."

"No, I'm going to pick you, Lu Yanqi."

"I'm going to rest."

"No, tell me where you are, or I'll search all over City A to find you."

"Okay, okay, I'll send you the location later."

Lu Yanqi knew that Miss Bai would definitely keep her word. Helplessly, he could only send the address to Bai Luo.

After looking at the post in his friend circle, Lu Yanqi hardened his heart and clicked delete. He didn't want Bai Luo to know Lin Cong's name. The Xia brothers and sisters were not easy to mess with, and he was worried that this would bring trouble to Lin Cong.

My acquaintance with Bai Luo was a coincidence.

That day at the Hyatt Palace, Bai Luo arrived shortly after Su Qian took Lin Cong away.

Bai Luo pestered Bai Mo to play with her, but Bai Mo was in a bad mood because he hadn't had enough fun. He asked Bai Luo to choose someone to play with her.

Lu Yanqi was sitting on the sofa silently, but unexpectedly he attracted Bai Luo's attention.

"Hey, this is a new face. Let him play with me."

"Go ahead." Bai Mo agreed to Bai Luo impatiently.

In this way, Lu Yanqi was confusedly brought to the bar by Bai Luo. In fact, Lu Yanqi also had some ulterior motives. He wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Bai Luo, so that he could naturally connect with the Bai family.

But he hadn't expected Bai Luo to actually take a fancy to him. Initially, he was somewhat happy, feeling that he had the initiative in contacting the Bai family. However, when he thought of Lin Cong, all that happiness vanished.

However, Lu Yanqi was still reluctant to miss this opportunity.

That day, he met Su Qian at Weiwei's place. Su Qian's words made Lu Yanqi make the final choice.

"Neither you nor I have a choice."

Yes, perhaps since the moment he was born in the Lu family, he has lost many opportunities to choose.

Love is a luxury in itself, and it is an extra luxury for him.

Lu Yanqi also understood that if he persisted in facing the Bai family and the Lu family, Lin Cong might suffer greater harm.

Just like that, Lu Yanqi made his final decision. As he spoke those words to Lin Cong, his heart ached. From then on, he and Lin Cong were like parallel lines, never to intersect again.
