The quiet night market was very deserted, and the neon lights on the street looked weak and small in the dark night.
There is still a brightly lit corner of the office building in the business district, where a group of people are sitting at their respective workstations, working overtime to catch up on plans.
The entire office is filled with bright lights. After being seriously engaged in work, it is easy to ignore the time and completely fail to notice that it is already late at night.
At this time, Lu Qingye was still conducting video conferences with cross-border clients in the office.
Wearing a Bluetooth headset, he stared at the computer screen, listened intently to what the other person said, and answered the other person in English from time to time.
"Mr. Smith, we will try our best to meet your requirements. If you have anything to add, you can send me an email. Please rest assured that our company will send people over to conduct on-site inspections to ensure that the construction period is not delayed."
The other party nodded with satisfaction, "OK, I believe in Mr. Lu's strength, and I hope you can bring me good news."
Lu Qingye: "Thank you for your understanding. See you next time."
As soon as the meeting ended, Lu Qingye took off his Bluetooth headset, stretched out his hand to press his eyebrows, and then returned to the computer after soothing himself.
Lu Qingye inadvertently raised his head and saw a group of colleagues working overtime in the company outside.
Jiang Yi led a small team to work on an emergency plan. In order to reward everyone for working overtime, Jiang Yi ordered takeout not long ago.
The takeaway just arrived at this moment, and other colleagues immediately cheered a little, but did not dare to make too much noise for fear of disturbing Lu Qingye.
But now, Lu Qingye discovered it himself first.
He frowned slightly and briefly wondered where the other colleagues had gone. Then he lowered his eyes and glanced at the time at the bottom of the computer screen and found that it was almost eleven o'clock.
After looking at the time, Lu Qingye was stunned for a moment and thought he was dazzled. Only after confirming again that he had seen it correctly did he really react.
It turns out it’s so late!
Not long after, Lu Qingye came out of his office.
Jiang Yi held a box of takeout in his hand. He was thinking of delivering it to Lu Qingye later, but he didn't expect that he would just appear.
However, Lu Qingye did not come in their direction.
Jiang Yi saw him in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to deal with, so he immediately came over and called Lu Qingye: "Where are you going?"
Lu Qingye stopped for a moment and replied concisely: "Go home."
"Why don't you go back so late? I thought you were staying at the company tonight." Of course, these were all Jiang Yi's guesses. He paused for a while and said, "I just bought you a midnight snack, how about one piece?" Are you leaving after eating?"
"No, you go ahead and eat." Before Lu Qingye left, he didn't forget to warn: "After you finish eating, get off work as soon as possible. Don't let their family members worry."
Jiang Yi turned to look at other colleagues and raised his voice: "Family members, did you hear that? Mr. Lu just spoke. We will get off work after eating."
Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. Goodbye, Mr. Lu..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. It's too late and you can't get a taxi. I'll drive you home in a while." Jiang Yi is quite reliable and can do everything he says.
"That's great, thank you Mr. Jiang!"
——
Lu Qingye left the company and got home very late.
He entered the house, changed his shoes at the entrance, and went straight to the second floor.
Lu Qingye knew that Meng Chuyuan must have fallen asleep at this point, so he walked outside the bedroom door, put his hand on the doorknob, opened it gently, and slowly pushed the door open.
The moment the door opened, he was actually ready to come in in the dark, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw two lamps on the bedside table.
Lu Qingye froze on the spot, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
He never thought that one day... there would be a light at home specially lit for him who came home late.
When Lu Qingye saw the sleeping figure on the bed, the look between his brows turned into gentleness, and all the fatigue on his body seemed to be healed.
Meng Chuyuan wrapped the quilt tightly, leaving only her face exposed. The weak light hit her cheek, and her outline was clear and distinct.
Lu Qingye closed the door. He slowed down and came to the bedside immediately. He bent down slightly and his eyes fell softly on Meng Chuyuan's face - (End of Chapter)
