Chapter 644: Lu You've Done Enough

It was past two in the morning, and she still hadn’t fallen asleep.

Chu Yao had always smoked, and the first time he discovered her habit, she was seventeen.

Mo Tingshen was furious, but Chu Yao was defiant, insisting on provoking him, and in his anger, Mo Tingshen said some very harsh things.

After her release from prison, her addiction to cigarettes had grown worse, almost never leaving her hand.

Mo Tingshen watched her for half an hour.

In that half-hour, Chu Yao had smoked three cigarettes, drunk two glasses of red wine, and moved away from the bay window, her figure swaying.

The lamp behind the gauze stretched her slender body into a long shadow.

It wasn’t until the light was turned off and not a single shadow could be seen that he finally took his eyes off her and asked, “Do I have a house nearby?”

“Yes, there’s one in Central Garden, but it’s far from the company.”

Mo Tingshen nodded, “Let’s go.”

He wondered if Chu Yao knew about the long time he waited for her downstairs.

Maybe she saw him, but from such a high floor, she couldn’t be sure.

But even if it was him, she probably wouldn’t care.

She slept deeply that night, and the next day she was woken by the harsh, blinding sunlight.

Chu Yao clicked her tongue impatiently, a layer of white light obscuring her eyelids.

Too lazy to open her eyes, she turned over and buried her head under the pillow.

Lu Zhenzhen kicked her with her foot, “Are you getting up or not?”

Chu Yao cocooned herself further under the covers.

“Fine.”

Lu Zhenzhen sat down cross-legged.

The bed was made of wood, recessed to hold a mattress, only slightly elevated from the ground, almost like sleeping on the floor itself.

There was a sofa next to it, but Lu Zhenzhen didn’t sit on it; she insisted on sitting on the bed, stuffing her feet under the blanket.

She made a call to Gao Zhe, her voice turning cajoling, “Ah Zhe, Baby is hungry.”

“I left you breakfast.

Wash up, and you can eat when you come out.”

“I’m out, I’m at Chu Yao’s place.”

Gao Zhe paused, “Give me the address, I’ll arrange for the hotel to send a meal over.”

Lu Zhenzhen smiled teasingly, “Aren’t you going to ask what she wants to eat?”

Gao Zhe choked a bit, caught off guard by her playful tone, and coughed awkwardly, “Don’t start with me.”

How could he not know what she liked to eat?

Lu Zhenzhen was overwhelmed with joy, “Then I’ll wait for you.

You know the address, it’s this place in Jing Garden.

Remember that time you got drunk, and I brought you here and had my way with you all night?”

“Cough…” Gao Zhe was grateful he wasn’t drinking water when he answered her call.

Chu Yao’s ears perked up, and Lu Zhenzhen stoked the fire even further, not sure what Gao Zhe said, but she exclaimed bashfully, “You’re so bad.”

“Enough is enough, Lu Zhenzhen,” Chu Yao turned and sat up, her hair electrified and wild, looking as if she had been bombed, glaring at her with reddened eyes.

“Why don’t you go somewhere else to flaunt your love?

Do you have to do it here?”

Lu Zhenzhen defiantly stared back, and into the phone with Gao Zhe, she blew him two kisses.

“Finally willing to get up, huh?

And here I thought you were playing dead.”

Chu Yao propped herself up with two pillows behind her back, “I only got to sleep at three last night, please, if you want to make trouble, come back in the evening.

What are you doing here so early in the morning, causing a scene!”

Lu Zhenzhen generously brought her watch in front of Chu Yao’s face.

Nine o’clock, early in the morning?

Chu Yao argued indignantly, “So what?

Don’t you know that the schedules of actresses are all over the place?”

“Oh, no, it’s not that,” Lu Zhenzhen retrieved her hand, caressing the watch as if it were a precious treasure, “Cartier’s new model, just given to me by my Ah Zhe yesterday.

I’m just showing it to you, given that you’ve been single since birth, all you can do is be envious.”
