The two of them lived opposite each other. Zhou Lu said to Ye Nuannuan absently: "You should go to bed early."

Ye Nuannuan saw that he looked worried, so she patted his arm and comforted him: "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely get better soon."

Zhou Lu hummed, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

Early the next morning, Zhou Lu knocked on Ye Nuannuan's door.

Ye Nuannuan wore a pair of silk pajamas with no underwear underneath. She leaned against the door frame with a confused face, exposing a large area of ​​skin, and asked without opening her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Lu looked extremely serious, "Nuan Nuan, have you seen my pen."

Ye Nuannuan struggled to open her eyes, "Your pen? Is it the one Aunt Zhou gave you?"

Zhou Lu immediately said: "Yes, you saw it?"

Ye Nuannuan shook her head, "No, but when I was in H City, I saw that Su Jian also had a pen of the same style as yours. Did you leave it with her?"

Zhou Lujian frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Zhou Lu returned to the bedroom, he called Su Jian, but no one answered the phone. He couldn't help but frown.

——

The Zhou family has a tradition that whenever the younger ones are at home, they must have breakfast with the elders at seven in the morning.

Therefore, even though Zhou Lu and Ye Nuannuan went to bed at two or three o'clock last night, they still got up very early in the morning and had dinner with Zhou Peiyuan. Zhou Lu's mother Qin Zhixu could not get up because of illness.

The rule of the Zhou family is to eat without talking or sleep without talking, so the three of them ate quietly without saying a word.

It wasn't until Zhou Peiyuan was about to finish eating that he spoke in a warm voice: "Zhou Lv, go see your mother after you finish eating."

Zhou Lu paused slightly, then said respectfully: "I know, Dad."

Zhou Peiyuan realized that his mood was not right, so he looked at his son with concern, "Why do you look so worried? Did something happen to you?"

Ye Nuannuan also glanced at Zhou Lv. She knew that Zhou Lv was worried about losing the pen his mother gave him, but she did not say it out loud.

That pen was a gift from his mother when Zhou Lu turned 18. He has always cherished it and kept it well.

Although Zhou Lu usually seems to be very cold towards Qin Zhixu, in fact, he has always longed for maternal love in his heart.

Ye Nuannuan was a little uninterested and didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhou Lu said calmly: "It's nothing, I encountered something at work."

Zhou Peiyuan taught his son, "Young people should not get confused when something happens, and learn to be calm in every situation."

Zhou Lu nodded, "I understand."

Ye Nuannuan accompanied Zhou Lv to visit Zhou's mother. When they were alone, Ye Nuannuan spoke: "Have you called Miss Su? Is your pen at her place?"

Zhou Lu said flatly: "Not yet."

Ye Nuannuan comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't lose it."

Qin Zhixu is having breakfast in the bedroom at the moment. She is wearing a green silk pajamas with a lifelike butterfly pattern embroidered on her chest. Her temperament is elegant and dignified.

Even though he is over fifty, Qin Zhixu takes good care of himself and looks like he is in his early thirties. His skin is firm and shiny, and there is not even a wrinkle on his face. His facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, and he is very grand.

However, because of her illness, she seemed to have no energy, her lips were white and bloodless, and she sat there like a sick beauty.

When Liu's mother saw Zhou Lu coming, she immediately said excitedly: "Madam, Alu is here to visit you!"

Qin Zhixu looked slightly surprised and immediately raised her eyes to look at the door. When her eyes fell on the man's handsome face, a soft color flashed in her eyes.

After a while, he asked in a lukewarm tone: "You're back?"

Ye Nuannuan stood aside obediently, lowering her eyebrows and saying, "Hello, aunt."

Qin Zhixu never liked Ye Nuannuan very much, so he had a very cold attitude towards her. He just hummed through his nose and didn't even give her a straight look.

Zhou Lu had long been accustomed to Qin Zhixu's indifferent attitude towards him, and said expressionlessly: "My dad said that you were feeling unwell and asked me to come back to visit you."

Hearing her mention Zhou Peiyuan, Qin Zhixu's face suddenly turned cold. She sneered: "I just have a cold, and I won't die. You don't need to come back to see me. Just go and do your work."

Seeing that Madam was making sarcastic remarks again, Mother Liu said anxiously: "Madam, it's hard for Alu to come back and visit you. You've been talking about Alu these past few days, worrying that he's too busy and exhausted from work.

Body?"

Qin Zhixu said with a cold face: "Mother Liu, are you confused? When did I say these things?"

Liu Ma felt aggrieved: "Madam, you obviously said yesterday..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Lu interrupted coldly: "Since you are fine, I will go back to work."

Qin Zhixu slowly raised her eyes and stared at him. There seemed to be some complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes. She softened her tone and said, "Go and do your work. I'm very good here. I have a family doctor."

You don’t need to worry about it anymore.”

Ye Nuannuan pursed her lips and knitted her beautiful eyebrows tightly. She couldn't help but said: "Auntie, Zhou Lv is also concerned about your health. It was already early in the morning when we got off the plane last night. Zhou Lv learned that you

Immediately after he fell ill, he drove several hours back to his old house to visit you. Isn’t it a bit...unkind of you to treat him like this?"

Considering that the other party was Zhou Lu's mother, she still didn't say it too harshly.

Zhou Lu looked calm, but his hands hanging on his sides were secretly clenching his fists.

Qin Zhixu didn't think she was wrong. She slowly turned her eyes and glanced at Ye Nuannuan, "This is a matter between me and my son. It's not your turn as an outsider to interrupt."

Hearing this, Ye Nuannuan looked slightly embarrassed. She lowered her eyes unconsciously and said softly: "I'm sorry, aunt, I said the wrong thing."

Zhou Lu frowned slightly and said in a calm tone: "Mom, I'll take my friend and leave first."

After saying that, he took Ye Nuannuan's hand and left the bedroom in front of Qin Zhixu without waiting for Qin Zhixu to speak. It was obvious that he was deliberately angry with Qin Zhixu.

Qin Zhixu was indeed very angry. She came from a wealthy family and she paid the most attention to upbringing and etiquette. Zhou Lu's attitude towards her just now really chilled her. She clutched her chest in discomfort and was so angry that she could not speak.<
