Chapter 186 Not a Substitute
Chapter 186 Not a Substitute
The rooms in Shang Jia's mansion are larger than Shang Yonglin's, and even the guest rooms are very exquisitely furnished.
But there were no clothes, shoes or bags that Shang Yonglin had prepared for her.
It's okay, it's just for two days, I can wear this outfit, but...
"See if you need anything and I'll prepare it for you," said Shang Yonglin.
Lu Jinyu answered truthfully: "I don't have any underwear, pajamas, or skin care products."
"Okay, I'll help you prepare it."
Shang Yonglin walked out of the house, and Lu Jinyu hurriedly stopped him and asked curiously, "How are you going to prepare?"
Shang Yonglin thought for a moment and said, "Ask my mom."
Lu Jinyu couldn't help laughing when she heard it. Shang Yonglin said helplessly: "You are laughing at me again..."
"I thought you had some good ideas."
"Wouldn't it be quicker to ask my mom? She has skincare products and probably pajamas, too. Underwear...what size do you wear?"
Lu Jinyu smiled and shook his head.
"You can borrow skin care products, but I'd rather not borrow intimate items like pajamas and underwear. And even if I buy new ones, I have to wash them before I can wear them. I think I should go home."
Shang Yonglin looked at her and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back with you."
Because it was already noon, Shang's father and mother went back to their room to rest, and Mianmian was also in her room, so they just said goodbye to Uncle Chang and left.
.
Coincidentally, as soon as they drove into the underground garage of the community, they saw Huaye's nanny car.
Hua Ye was seen getting out of the car leisurely eating a popsicle, but when he saw Shang Yonglin's car, he froze in place.
If it was just Shang Yonglin's car, he would definitely not be so surprised. Obviously, he saw Lu Jinyu sitting in the passenger seat.
Shang Yonglin slowed down the car, glanced at Lu Jinyu and said, "Let's say hello."
"Yeah." Lu Jinyu nodded slightly.
Shang Yonglin lowered the window and parked the car next to Huaye, then greeted him: "Ayue."
"What a coincidence." Huaye replied with a smile that couldn't be any fainter on his face.
Lu Jinyu originally wanted to just nod, but Hua Ye was taller than the car and he couldn't see his face, so he gave up.
"Just got back from work?"
"Correct."
"Go home and have a good rest."
"Ah."
"gone."
The two of them tacitly did not mention Lu Jinyu or say what they were doing here. After exchanging a few words, Shang Yonglin continued driving forward.
.
Looking at the taillights of the car, Huaye felt a little stuffy in his chest.
Why is her new boyfriend her friend?
No, maybe he wouldn't feel comfortable no matter who it is.
The car drove out of sight, and Huaye came to his senses and said to the assistant in the car: "I'm back, you guys go now."
After saying that, he slammed the car door, then went home sucking on his popsicle.
.
After returning home, Lu Jinyu began to pack the things he needed.
Shang Yonglin was waiting on the side, thinking about something.
When he first found out that Lu Jinyu's boyfriend was Hua Ye, he didn't like Lu Jinyu yet, so he didn't have any feelings, just felt a little surprised.
But now he cared, cared that they had once been close together.
Lu Jinyu packed up her things and was about to go to Mianmian's room when she saw Shang Yonglin standing there with a heavy heart, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Shang Yonglin came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."
Lu Jinyu nodded without asking any more questions, walked into Mianmian's room and started packing, but he was thinking in his heart.
He was quite happy on the road just now, but he changed here. It must be because of Huaye.
Sure enough, Shang Yonglin would also mind.
After packing up, Lu Jinyu walked out of Mianmian's room. Seeing Shang Yonglin still standing there, she put her things on the sofa and said to him, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
Shang Yonglin seemed to have just woken up from a dream and looked confused for a moment, then he looked away.
Lu Jinyu added: "I hope we can be honest with each other."
Shang Yonglin was silent for a while before he said, "I... I do mind a little. When I think about how you and Ah Yue were close, I feel a little jealous... and I think that incident at the nightclub is funny. I didn't know you at that time, and I felt disdainful when Ah Yue and Da Wen went to look for you. I didn't expect that I would fall in love with you now."
After listening to this, Lu Jinyu smiled bitterly: "I understand. My first love, first night and first marriage are all gone. It's hard for a man not to mind. I also know why your mother is unwilling to accept me. It's also because of these. I may not have told you clearly before, but I still have to make it clear now. I am willing to fall in love, but I don't want to remarry. If you can't accept it, then..."
"Don't say it!" Shang Yonglin interrupted her, "We've just started."
"But you have to face it sooner or later. It will be easier to face it now than to face it later when you are deeply involved."
Lu Jinyu didn't know how she could say these words calmly and expressionlessly. She only knew that crying was useless and the problems that needed to be solved still had to be solved.
Shang Yonglin shook his head and asked, "Why did you break up with Ah Yue? Was it really because of his career?"
Lu Jinyu nodded silently but affirmatively.
"So... you still love him?"
Hearing Shang Yonglin's question, Lu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh: "So you have no confidence."
Shang Yonglin looked at her in confusion, and Lu Jinyu continued, "If I still loved him, I wouldn't be with you. You are definitely not a substitute for me to fill the gap after the breakup. You are good, so I like you and want to be with you, that's all."
After hearing what she said, Shang Yonglin walked forward and took her into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that..."
"No, I'm glad you said this. It proves that you really like me and care about me."
"I just don't want to lose you."
Shang Yonglin hugged Lu Jinyu tightly in his arms, and Lu Jinyu hugged him back.
"I've long thought that maybe one day we'll separate, but I still want to cherish this relationship."
"No, I will never let go."
Hearing his words, Lu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh, but her eyes became wet.
The two hugged each other for a long time before separating and their emotions calmed down.
"Let's go." Lu Jinyu said.
"Ah."
Shang Yonglin took the initiative to pick up her packed luggage, then took her hand and left together.
.
Soon, the two returned to the merchant's mansion.
Shang Yonglin said: "My parents usually take a lunch break until two o'clock, let's go and have a rest too."
"Okay." Lu Jinyu responded as she walked towards her room, but saw Shang Yonglin following her, so she asked with a smile.
"Why, you want to come with me?"
"Yeah." Shang Yonglin nodded affirmatively.
Lu Jinyu looked at him and thought quickly in her mind: no matter what Shang Yonglin did or didn't do, she could accept it.
"Okay." She agreed readily and pulled Shang Yonglin into the house.
After putting down his things, Lu Jinyu took off his slippers and lay directly on the quilt.
It's hot now, the quilt is very thin, but the mattress is very soft.
Although he didn't do anything all morning, Lu Jinyu felt a little tired at this moment.
Seeing Shang Yonglin standing aside, Lu Jinyu said with a smile: "Why are you so reserved? This is your home. Come, lie down too."
As she spoke she patted the spot next to her.
Upon hearing this, Shang Yonglin took off his slippers and lay down beside her.
"Lend me your arm."
Lu Jinyu moved closer to Shang Yonglin, then rested her head on his arm and wrapped one arm around his waist.
"I don't usually have the habit of taking a nap," said Lu Jinyu.
"Taking a nap is a good habit, go to sleep." Shang Yonglin kissed her forehead gently.
Lu Jinyu looked at him with a smile, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
