The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 52
byChapter 52 Braised Pork
Despite that heart-to-heart, Xu Wen still didn’t quit his part-time job as a data entryr.
He stubbornly regarded the five million as Lu Qingrang’s last retreat, and still carefully guarded this person in his clumsy but sincere way.
When Lu Qingrang asked, Xu Wenzheng looked down at the newly arrived WeChat transfer on his phone, with bright eyes and a little pride:
“Are you stupid?” He put the phone screen in front of Lu Qingrang’s eyes, “The five million is our trump card, how can we touch it casually?”
He put the phone away carefully, his ears were slightly red, but he deliberately bumped Lu Qingrang with his shoulder and raised his voice:
“I’m saving a wife’s book for you! Don’t you understand this?”
When Lu Qingrang heard the words “wife Ben”, he raised his eyes slightly, and a deep voice escaped from his throat: “Huh?”
He stared at Xu Wen’s slightly trembling eyelashes when he spoke seriously, and his eyes that pretended to be shrewd but could not conceal their pure purity.
How could he not understand this clumsy but sincere protection.
Since his Xu Wen is still carefully planning these figures, he should try his best to double this so-called “wife’s book” and then double it again, until money is as light as air in Xu Wen’s life, and there is no need to calculate, and it will be filled naturally.
He wants this person who saved his “wife book” to only think about how to spend money from now on.
This thought made Lu Qing feel warm in his heart. He picked up the phone and tapped a line of words on the screen with his fingertips.
On the other side, in the company.
“Brother Wen.”
As soon as the lunch break arrived, Li Yue smiled and knocked on the partition of Xu Wen’s desk with a clear voice: “Let’s go have dinner together? I heard that the fast food restaurant downstairs has a new dish.”
Xu Wenzheng looked down at his phone, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
On the screen, there was a new message quietly lying in the dialog box with Lu Qingrang:
L: [I’ve made your favorite braised pork and come downstairs in two minutes.】
He quickly replied [(rabbit circling.gif)] with his fingertips, and then raised his head, with a lingering smile in his eyes: “Thank you, but I don’t need it today, I…someone will bring food.”
“Sending food?” Li Yue blinked, curious and a little disappointed, “Who is it? So considerate.”
“You’ve seen him,” Xu Wen answered naturally, with a hint of intimacy in his tone, “my brother.”
The word “brother” made Li Yue slightly startled, and the figure in the black coat at the station immediately appeared in his mind.
He has a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, but he has a pair of eyes that are so cold that it makes people’s hearts tremble.
She suppressed the timidity in her heart and moved closer, her tone a bit coquettish: “We have to go downstairs anyway, can I come with you?”
Xu Wen didn’t think much, the joy of someone delivering food filled his heart, so he nodded readily: “Okay, let’s go.”
The two took the elevator downstairs. As soon as they left the company door, Xu Wen saw Lu Qingrang standing at the door.
The late autumn in the north was bitingly cold. Lu Qingrang was wearing a long black cotton coat of the same style as Xu Wen, with a black and white plaid scarf loosely wrapped around his neck.
The slightly long black hair was a little messy by the wind, vaguely covering his eyebrows, but it could not hide the noble temperament around him.
He was holding an insulated lunch box in his hand, and the tip of his nose was slightly red from the cold. The way he stood there quietly was like a carefully sketched painting.
Xu Wen’s pace accelerated almost uncontrollably.
“Xiao Yue, go eat first!” He hurriedly said this to Li Yue, and like a bird returning to its nest, he rushed to Lu Qingrang in a few steps.
“Brother Lu!” His voice was slightly breathless after running, and his smile was so bright that it looked silly, “It’s so cold, I can just deal with it casually downstairs, and even make a special trip.”
Lu Qingrang’s eyes had been precisely locked on Xu Wen the moment he stepped out of the elevator.
Naturally, he didn’t miss the girl following him who he had met at the station last time.
Lu Qingrang seemed not to hear Xu Wen’s nagging, his eyes lingered on his wind-blushed cheeks for a moment, and he frowned slightly.
He directly raised his hand and gently brushed away the wind-blown hair on Xu Wen’s forehead with his fingers.
The fingertips brushed Xu Wen’s forehead skin intentionally or unintentionally, bringing a clear warmth.
“My hair is messed up.” His voice was low, like a warm wind in this winter.
After doing this overly intimate gesture, he turned his gaze to Li Yue, who was stunned a few steps away, and nodded to her politely and distantly, as a greeting.
Xu Wen was a little itchy by the touch. He subconsciously rubbed his head against the cool palm like a cat with its fur.
But the next second he realized something was wrong and suddenly grabbed Lu Qingrang’s hand that was about to take it back.
“Why are your hands so cold?” He frowned immediately, clasping the knuckled hand in his palms, trying to cover up the heat, “Have you been waiting outside for a long time? Are you stupid? You won’t come in and wait?”
He complained naggingly and concentrated on rubbing the cold hand, completely unaware of how intimate his actions at this moment were in the eyes of others.
Lu Qingrang let him hold her hand, the dark color in his eyes too thick to be removed.
After a moment, he suddenly held Xu Wen’s wrist with his backhand and stuffed the heavy thermos box into his arms.
The next second, before Xu Wen could react, Lu Qingrang suddenly took a step forward and gently held him in his arms.
He put his chin on Xu Wen’s shoulder and rubbed it like a nostalgic one, and his warm breath brushed Xu Wen’s ear:
“We haven’t seen each other for half a day, but it feels like a long time has passed.”
The hug was broken at the touch of a button. Lu Qingrang quickly let go of him, straightened out his collar that was crooked, and returned to his normal tone:
“Go back quickly. Eat the meat while it’s hot.”
Xu Wen stood there holding the thermos box, his ears quickly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It wasn’t until Lu Qingrang’s back disappeared at the corner of the street that he raised his hand and touched the side of his neck that had just been rubbed, as if there was still a warm touch there.
Li Yue stood there, looking at the two people not far away who briefly embraced and then separated quickly, biting her lower lip unconsciously.
The cold wind of late autumn blew through her hair, but it could not dispel the doubts in her heart.
She watched Lu Qingrang turn around and leave with a crisp pace without any nostalgia.
Then he looked at Xu Wen holding the thermos box, froze in place for a while as if he had been cast a restraining spell, and then with a wandering expression, he turned back three times and slowly moved towards the company building.
In that way, how does it feel like you are separated from your brother?It’s obviously…
An idea popped up uncontrollably, making Li Yue himself startled. Are these two people really brothers?
Which fraternity would do this?That hugging gesture, that rubbing action on the side of the neck, and Xu Wen’s reaction as if he was lost at this moment… all reveal intimacy and… ambiguity.
A strong impulse made her almost want to rush forward immediately, grab Xu Wen and ask him.
But when she saw Xu Wen’s eyes that were still a little dazed but surprisingly bright, and the silly blush on his face that had not completely faded away, she quietly took back the half-step she had taken.
She tightened her grip on the phone in her hand, and finally relaxed her grip.
never mind.
She said to herself in her mind.
It would be too abrupt to ask now.
Wait until next time.
She looked at Xu Wen’s back disappearing behind the glass door, and silently suppressed the surging questions in her heart.
