The next day, when Meng Ji woke up, the sun was shining high.
She was stunned for a while, then stretched out her hand to touch the remaining warmth on the sheets next to her.
So cool.
She doesn't know when she started to develop this habit.
When you wake up in the morning, you must feel the temperature around you to determine when Lu Ye will go to work.
Meng Ji lowered his eyes, feeling an unknown discomfort in his heart.
He left early today.
She frowned and stood up, feeling the pain in her body. When she lowered her head, she saw that her skin was covered in bruises, which looked horrifying.
If others saw her, they would think she had been treated inhumanely.
Meng Ji pursed her lips, but in fact those marks didn't hurt at all, it was just that her skin was delicate and it would happen with a little force.
The Internet was full of reports about last night.
Li Xinyuan also saw the news abroad and made the first call.
As soon as the call was connected, Meng Ji heard the happy and excited voice of the other party, "Congratulations, Ah Ji! You are about to be free!"
Meng Ji covered the dimness in his eyes and replied softly, "Thank you."
She had the trump card to leave Lu Ye, and Lu Ye himself agreed to let her go.
Why can't she be happy?
No longer in the mood to talk, Meng Ji found an excuse to hang up the phone.
She absentmindedly walked out of the master bedroom after washing, and the guest room next door was opened at the same time.
Lu Ye was dressed in pajamas and walked out decadently, with water drops still dripping from his hair.
It seems that he just finished washing.
The two looked at each other, and she froze on the spot.
Through the open door of the room, Meng Ji could clearly see the bed in the guest bedroom. The quilt was messy and the curtains were closed.
It looked like someone had lived there.
She was so tired that she fell asleep last night and couldn't remember clearly what happened next. When she woke up in the morning, her whole body was clear.
She also thought that Lu Ye just left early.
But in fact, he didn't sleep with her at all after last night?
Meng Ji's heart trembled, and he instantly felt that the place was blocked.
Downstairs, Aunt Chu was calling the two of them to eat, and Lu Ye responded.
There was a tenderness in his eyes that Meng Ji would never forget, and the two looked at each other for a long time.
"Wanwan, let's talk later." After Lu Ye said this, he walked around her and walked downstairs first.
Meng Ji took a deep breath. Lu Ye was not joking when he said he let her go last night.
Isn't this what she wanted?
She was a little sad, and she felt uncomfortable with the gap between Lu Ye's treatment of her.
Then she shook her head mockingly, the road to freedom was right in front of her, wasn't this what she had worked so hard for?
Now we are here in such miserable condition, why bother?
Meng Ji followed him and slowly went downstairs.
Lu Ye's generous back kept appearing in front of her eyes. His steps were light and his back was losing some vitality like an old man in his twilight years.
The two have been together for so long, and it seems that this is one of the few times she has seen Lu Ye's back.
Looking back on the past, he was the one who watched her leave.
He was walking so fast in front.
Meng Ji's eyes were moist.
The road in front of me became hazy, and I accidentally stepped on the ground and tumbled down the stairs.
Her body collided with the heavy carpet, making a muffled sound.
Hearing the noise, Lu Ye quickly ran over and squatted beside her, "Are you injured?"
His eyes were full of worry.
Meng Ji was even more sad, his eyes couldn't stop watering.
Seeing her crying so miserably, Lu Ye thought she had really fallen somewhere. He wanted to hug her but was afraid of touching the wound.
"Wanwan, be good, be patient, I'll take you to the hospital." She was obviously the one who was injured, but a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Meng Ji took advantage of him to lower his head and hugged his neck tightly, crying loudly.
Lu Ye was at a loss, his eyes filled with self-blame. He should have been walking beside her just now.
What if she gets injured again without her own care in the future.
Lu Ye wanted to take her to the hospital for examination, but Meng Ji held him tightly and refused to let go.
"Good boy, let go." Lu Ye patted her back, anxious.
Meng Ji didn't listen.
"Where does it hurt?" He could only look down at her.
Meng Ji was extremely sad, and her heart ached.
The blanket on the ground was so thick that her body didn't hurt at all, but her heart hurt for no reason.
Aunt Chu quickly called her personal doctor and was extremely anxious when she saw Meng Ji crying so sadly.
Li Boti wagged her tail and spun around in circles.
She took the initiative to hug him for a long time, and then let go.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." She shook her head and stood up with a blushing face.
Lu Ye frowned fiercely, "It's better to go to the hospital."
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Meng Ji avoided his gaze and walked to the dining table.
Seeing that she was walking without any problems, Lu Ye reluctantly felt relieved.
He conditionally helped Meng Ji prepare the dishes first, and he clearly understood her taboos and preferences.
This scene was particularly familiar to Meng Ji.
He usually does these things for himself.
Meng Ji was a little choked with chopsticks in his hand. He didn't look at him and lowered his head to eat.
She took a long time to eat this meal.
When the personal doctor arrived, Meng Ji completely put down his chopsticks.
"Madam is fine, sir, please rest assured." The doctor packed the equipment without raising his head.
When faced with his wife's affairs, the husband always gets into trouble and makes a lot of noise.
Lu Ye still couldn't let go and said to Meng Ji, "Let's go to the hospital for another check-up, okay?"
The anxiety in his eyes was clear. If it had been before, Meng Ji would have agreed and deliberately tormented him several times.
Today she couldn't bear it anymore.
Meng Ji shook his head, "It's really okay."
Aunt Chu sent the personal doctor away, closed the door for them and never came back.
She followed Madam's show every episode. She also knew that Meng Ji won the championship last night.
Although she doesn't know how to use the Internet, several servants secretly discussed this morning that Meng Ji will study abroad for two years.
With her husband's strong possessiveness towards his wife, Aunt Chu shook her head, it was hard to say.
She didn't know that Lu Ye had already compromised.
"Going to the study?" Lu Ye looked at her.
Meng Ji took a breath and nodded.
When going upstairs, he deliberately walked on top of Meng Ji, holding the escalator with his right hand and leaning to the left, just in case.
The door to the study room was opened, and Meng Ji walked in and sat on the sofa.
He didn't speak, and neither did she.
Lu Ye felt that the atmosphere was boring, and there was a feeling of depression in his heart that made him want to smoke.
He just opened the cigarette box and saw Meng Ji. He paused with his fingertips and put the cigarette into the box again.
"You're going to study in country F in three weeks?" Lu Ye walked over to her and sat down.
A familiar scent lingered around her.
Meng Ji nodded.
"I'll see you off then." His eyes were complex and subtle.
Meng Ji struggled for a moment, then asked after hesitation, "Do you really agree with me studying abroad?"
She really couldn't guess how far Lu Ye would go in letting her go.
Lu Ye's eyes flashed with darkness and he nodded.
Looking at her with boundless nostalgia.
He gave himself a two-year deadline. If Meng Ji could fall in love with him, everyone would be happy.
If she can't, he will never relent and let go.
It was only two years, so there was nothing he couldn't afford to wait for.
Wherever she goes, he follows.
