"Sir, are you playing spy?" the taxi driver joked while driving. The lines Wen Haotian had said were like those often heard in movies.
Wen Haotian was completely preoccupied with Su Rou. He was determined to find out the truth! "Stop talking so much. Follow that car. I'll give you a thousand dollars!"
At the mention of money, the driver perked up. He stepped on the accelerator and followed.
Su Yuze drove the car calmly, his eyes glancing at the rear - view mirror from time to time. He noticed a green taxi closely following him. A slight smile curved his lips. Following him? And in a taxi?
How over - confident!
Su Yuze neatly turned the steering wheel, made a left turn ahead and drove into a narrow alley. The taxi behind also turned in. Su Yuze looked back. So you've followed in, huh? Then hold on tight!
This was an old alley where working - class people lived. The alleys were intricate, and the width was only suitable for one car to pass. People unfamiliar with the road would drive very carefully. It was almost impossible to drive fast in such a place!
But Su Yuze drove the car skillfully. He turned without hesitation. Wen Haotian was having a hard time chasing. The road was so narrow that it was difficult to drive fast, not to mention all the twists and turns. Soon, the driver couldn't keep up. After the fifth turn, they lost sight of Su Yuze's car.
"Sir, I couldn't keep up. He's driving a Bugatti. How could I catch up with that?" the taxi driver said apologetically. The Bugatti was a car with top - notch performance!
"Humph." Wen Haotian angrily pounded the seat. Su Yuze had done it on purpose. He must have noticed the tail and deliberately led him in here.
The taxi driver flattered with a smile, "Sir, about the money we agreed on..." Although he didn't succeed in following, he still deserved something for his efforts, right?
Wen Haotian expressionlessly took out a few hundred - dollar bills from his wallet and threw them to the driver.
"Hehe, thank you, thank you." The taxi driver thanked repeatedly. He'd made some money!
Wen Haotian got out of the car. He wasn't going to give up!
...
When Su Yuze got home, Su Rou was lying on the sofa, asleep with Little Cutie. Su Rou was curled up in the innermost part of the sofa, while Little Cutie was lying on the outside, as if guarding her while she slept.
Su Yuze saw this scene as he came in. Then, as Su Rou slept, she turned over on the wide sofa. The sofa wasn't very big, and with Little Cutie lying in front, when Su Rou turned over, she squeezed Little Cutie off the sofa.
Thud!
Little Cutie was startled. It opened its eyes blankly, looking around as if it didn't understand how it had fallen.
A smile played on Su Yuze's lips as he walked over. Little Cutie wagged its tail at him. Just as it was about to jump back onto the sofa to lie next to Su Rou, Su Yuze stopped it. "Go play over there."
Little Cutie whined pitifully and reluctantly ran away.
"Little Rou'er." Su Yuze sat down next to Su Rou and gently called her, but Su Rou was in a deep sleep and didn't respond at all. But she was sleeping on the edge of the sofa. If she turned over again, she would fall off. Just now, Little Cutie was there to keep her from falling. Now it would be her falling by herself.
"Little Rou'er."
Just as Su Yuze was about to wake her up, Aunt Wang walked over carefully and whispered, "Young Master, Miss isn't feeling well today. Let her sleep a while longer."
"Hmm? What's going on?" Su Yuze asked in a low voice.
"She's on her period." Aunt Wang explained. "She said her stomach hurt this afternoon. I boiled some medicine for her and she fell asleep." The young miss was really pitiful, suffering so much from menstrual cramps that she'd been to the hospital twice.
"Okay, I see." Su Yuze nodded and didn't wake Su Rou up anymore. Looking closely, he found that she was curled up, covered with a quilt, and her hands were under the quilt, covering her lower abdomen. Su Yuze calculated the date. Hmm... It was about this time. "Aunt Wang, keep an eye on her from now on. Don't let her eat cold food."
"Yes, I understand." Although Aunt Wang was curious as to why the young miss wasn't going to school, she didn't feel it was appropriate to ask. In a wealthy family with money and influence, whether the young miss went to school or not didn't really matter. It was just a way for the rich to pass the time.
Su Yuze gently pushed Su Rou further into the sofa and tucked the quilt around her more tightly. Finally, after some thought, he took a few pillows from the sofa and placed them on the ground to prevent her from getting hurt if she fell.
When Su Rou woke up, she was lying on the edge of the sofa. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw a row of soft pillows on the ground. Su Yuze must have come back and put them there to prevent her from falling!
Su Rou gave a warm smile. She rubbed her stomach. After taking the medicine and sleeping this afternoon, she felt much better. The pain wasn't as sharp as in the afternoon. Now it was just a dull ache, which she could bear.
"Brother Ze?" Su Rou put on her shoes and walked around in the living room.
Su Rou had slept until eight o'clock at night. It was comfortable, but she'd slept so long that Aunt Wang had already left, and there was no one to cook for her.
"Ze!" Su Rou saw Su Yuze's leather shoes at the door, but why couldn't she see him?
Hearing Su Rou's voice, Su Yuze walked out of the study on the second floor and came downstairs following the sound. "You're awake. Are you hungry?" Su Yuze put his arm around Su Rou's slender waist and asked softly.
"I'm hungry." She'd slept all day because of menstrual cramps and hadn't eaten anything. When her stomach hurt, she didn't feel hungry. Now that she felt better, the hunger pangs came. "Is there anything to eat? Aunt Wang has left."
"No one's food will be missing, especially yours." Su Yuze affectionately kissed her forehead, then walked into the kitchen to heat up the food in the refrigerator.
Su Rou sat at the table with an empty bowl and chopsticks, waiting. When the steaming hot dishes were served, Su Rou didn't care about her image anymore. Filling her stomach was the top priority.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up?" Su Rou asked while eating.
"At around six o'clock. Aunt Wang said you weren't feeling well, so I didn't wake you up."
"So late?" Su Yuze's working hours were uncertain, but he usually got off work on time.
"I ran into Wen Haotian." Su Yuze said casually.
Su Rou nodded thoughtfully. So that man had gone after Su Yuze again... "Brother Ze, I don't want to leave here."
"Of course you won't. I won't allow it!"
