After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

At three in the morning, the large apartment building by the river was brightly lit.

Lou Xiao sat on the sofa, listening to his assistant's report, completely sober.

"You mean, she was forced to move out of her cousin's house?"

"Those people who caused trouble at Miss Mu's cousin's shop said it was because she seduced someone else's fiancé, so they wanted to teach her a lesson. And..." The assistant hesitated for a moment.

Lou Xiao's heart tightened; he had already guessed what was going on. He said in a cold voice, "Go on."

The assistant handed Lou Xiao a surveillance video.

The mall's security camera footage showed that around 8 PM tonight, Lu Sijian and Mu Liangyue exchanged glances from afar in front of the Black Swan Cake Shop.

Wang Ma stood to the side and said something.

He couldn't see Wang Ma's expression clearly in the video, but the image of Wang Ma's smug look kept popping into his mind.

Every time Wang Ma complained to her, she would have the same expression when she saw her scolding Mu Liangyue.

Considering that Wang Ma had once driven Mu Liangyue out of the Lu family, he found it hard to believe that this matter had nothing to do with her.

What about Lu Sijian? Was she truly unaware of this matter? Or did she deliberately go to buy the cake just to witness Mu Liangyue's fate?

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao suddenly pressed his brow to stop himself from thinking any further.

"Miss Mu, why are you up? Oh dear, you should lie down!" The assistant hurriedly said when she saw Mu Liangyue.

Lou Xiao suddenly snapped out of his daze, stood up from the sofa, and looked at Mu Liangyue.

Mu Liangyue lowered her head, not daring to look at him, for fear that the vulnerability in her eyes would be revealed: "I'm much better now, thank you Mr. Lou, I'll leave right away."

Lou Xiao frowned: "After taking fever-reducing medicine, you should lie down and rest properly. Go back to bed!"

Mu Liangyue refused: "I've bothered you long enough, it's really time to go..."

She didn't want to cause any more unnecessary misunderstandings.

Lou Xiao's face stiffened, and after a moment he said in an icy tone, "You really think I want to care about you? You've probably had a relapse of your pneumonia. You won't blame it on A-Jian again, will you?"

Mu Liangyue felt a chill in her heart. So that's how it was. It was all for Miss Lu.

"No one lives here normally, so you can stay here temporarily. If you have nothing to do, you can clean up. You can manage that, right?"

Mu Liangyue nodded slightly.

The footsteps faded away, followed by the sound of the door closing. She looked up and found herself alone in the empty room.

-

Outside the door, the assistant sighed, "Miss Mu is really stubborn."

Lou Xiao glanced at him: "Don't tell anyone about this."

The assistant shuddered, immediately composed himself, and replied, "Yes!"

"Mr. Lou, shall we go home now?" After all that commotion, it will be dawn in just over two hours.

Lou Xiao originally planned to sleep in the large apartment tonight, but now he has given it to Mu Liangyue.

Lou Xiao pressed his temples. "No, I'll go straight to the company."

He has a small room in the company office where he can rest, and he plans to rest there.

-

When Lu Sijian woke up in the morning, she found that she had gained another 5 points of aversion.

Without even thinking, she knew who contributed it. She glanced at Lou Xiao's favorability rating, and it was good; it had already started to decline, currently at 87%.

When she was closing the task, she accidentally clicked on Lu Lingjun's task panel, and suddenly her gaze froze.

Lu Lingjun's favorability rating dropped by one point at some point, no longer the rock-solid 92%.

91%? I wonder how long it can hold up.

When she went downstairs, she unexpectedly saw Kong Can and two strangers.

Kong Can stood up abruptly, his attitude respectful: "Miss, these two are reporters from the provincial TV station."

Lu Lingjun has always valued the protection of his family's privacy. After the incident, he never allowed the media to expose the footage of his sister lying in a pool of blood, nor did he ever actively exploit his sister's heroic deeds.

But once my sister woke up, everything changed.

As long as Lu Sijian is alive, if this matter expands into public opinion, Lu Sijian herself will be the beneficiary.

This matter had been entrusted to Kong Can before, but he declined because Lu Sijian was unwell and it was not advisable to disturb her.

Now that Lu Lingjun felt the time was right, he immediately invited the reporters over.

Lu Lingjun also came over: "Ah Jian, don't be nervous, your big brother will be with you."

Kong Can was also eager to show off, "Miss, the questions have all been screened by the young master. The reporter is very professional, and we know each other well, so don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Lu Sijian glanced at him.

The transfer order came down last week, and he's started handing over a lot of things. Lin Yuxi is working overtime every day, barely having time to breathe, while he's busy trying to please me.

[You really think this is some important task? They're clearly just using this to distract you.]

The reporter who conducted the interview was indeed very professional, even overly so.

They clearly already had their own answers to some questions and didn't care what Lu Sijian said.

After the interview, I saw the reporter off.

Lu Sijian looked at Kong Can with a smile: "Assistant Kong, you've really worked hard today."

Kong Can looked flattered and surprised, "It's no trouble at all, Miss."

After Kong Can left, Lu Sijian said, "Big brother, Assistant Kong is really a good person. Is there really no way to turn things around in that matter?"

Lu Lingjun's expression was cold: "No, he failed to fulfill his responsibility to take good care of you and even tried to shift the blame. I will never tolerate it."

Lu Sijian felt a slight sense of regret.

[How domineering! Is this how you spoil your sister? Even her pleas won't stop her?]

Lu Lingjun paused for a moment, but still raised his hand and ruffled her hair.

"Alright, I have to go to work now. You pack your things at home, and I'll come back tonight to pick you up and fly directly to the capital."

Lu Sijian paused for a moment, then remembered her appointment with the traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the capital. "Okay!"

However, since she had nothing else to do in the afternoon, she still sent the group photo to Lou Xiao.

Lu Sijian: [Xiao-ge, reporters came to interview me today. They asked me if I would still be willing to take the thugs down with me if I could do it all over again. I answered no. Guess why I wouldn't?]

Lou Xiao hasn't replied to my message for a long time.

She then sent the photo to Mu Liangyue.

Mu Liangyue replied immediately, seemingly oblivious to the wariness and defensiveness she felt during their tens of seconds of eye contact the night before.

Mu Liangyue: [Did Miss Lu give an interview to a reporter from the provincial TV station? That's wonderful! You are truly my hero, congratulations! Mr. Lou will definitely be happy too!]

Lu Sijian sighed. See? This is the difference between the female lead and the scoundrel. No matter what, she always provides plenty of emotional value.

Around 9 p.m., she and Lu Lingjun sat together in first class, preparing to fly to the capital.

Lou Xiao didn't notice the message until 10 p.m.

Without hesitation, he immediately instructed his driver to head to the Lu family home, intending to give her a surprise.

The thing that had been bothering me for so long suddenly seemed to become unimportant when I saw her radiant smile.

He realized he still missed her, missed her terribly.

As the car pulled into the guard post, the security guard looked surprised: "Young Master Lou, what brings you here? The eldest young master took the eldest young lady and the second young master to the capital. No one's home today."

Lou Xiao was stunned.
