Chapter 61 -61: This Woman, Has No Heart

Lu Youxi looked down and thought for a few seconds, “If that’s what you say, then do you have any ideas?”

“You’re so smart, can’t you think of anything yourself?” Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Since you brought it up first, you must already have an idea in mind. If you’ve got it all figured out, why should I bother straining my own brain cells?” Lu Youxi wasn’t the type to puzzle over problems when she had nothing better to do.

It was more relaxing to have someone else think for her.

“You!” Zhou Shuyan lifted his hand, wanting to flick her nose.

His long finger was already approaching her nose when he suddenly stopped.

Zhou Shuyan couldn’t believe his own hand.

How could he have such a thought!

It must be his hand acting on its own whims!

He really needed to go back and rest properly; today was simply too out of the ordinary.

Lu Youxi became so tense she didn’t dare to move; her facial features stiffened.

Only her eyes slid downward, catching sight of his fingertips, so close at hand.

Zhou Shuyan awkwardly withdrew his hand and, just like Lu Youxi had done earlier, rubbed the tip of his own nose.

“Ahem!” In an act of self-deception, Zhou Shuyan cleared his throat and said, “I do indeed have an idea.”

Zhou Shuyan lowered his head, edging a bit closer to Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi instinctively wanted to retreat but restrained herself, standing rigidly still without moving.

She didn’t want to be laughed at by Zhou Shuyan.

Like she could be embarrassed in front of him.

Zhou Shuyan slightly raised his eyebrows, a touch of mirth twinkling in the corner of his eyes, careful not to get too close to Lu Youxi’s ear.

After all, it was enough to guard against anyone possibly eavesdropping nearby.

As long as no one was hanging on their every word, they wouldn’t hear him if he spoke softly.

Zhou Shuyan was always cautious, and this time, after following his Second Uncle Zhou Xueyi’s lead, he was all the more determined to be overly cautious.

It wasn’t about taking advantage of Lu Youxi.

In fact, it’s often she who took advantage of him, and Zhou Shuyan never stooped to such base conduct.

Zhou Shuyan whispered something to Lu Youxi.

After he finished, he waited for Lu Youxi’s response.

Lu Youxi pondered for a while, looking down, and Zhou Shuyan didn’t rush her.

“Otherwise, you go home and think it over,” Zhou Shuyan said, “and give me your answer later. However, we don’t know when Lu Zhenjia will make his move, so it’s best if you decide quickly.”

“There’s no need to think it over at home.” Lu Youxi looked up at Zhou Shuyan and said, “Your idea is good, I’ll cooperate.”

Zhou Shuyan nodded, feeling more and more that consulting with Lu Youxi on matters was truly a breeze.

Say anything to Lu Youxi, and she would get it in no time, with no need for him to break it down and explain thoroughly.

Her decisions were prompt and decisive, without much hesitation or looking back and forth—once decided, she acted.

Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help thinking that once Lu Youxi graduated, no matter which company she joined or what field she entered, she would surely make a great impact.

He even considered offering her a position when she eventually graduated and entered the workforce.

So, the two of them simply went together to Grandma Xu’s house to discuss the details.

“But, you were just saying such nice things at my house, claiming that you really wanted the two of us to live separately. Now, not long after I escorted you out, I’m saying I want to live with you. Aren’t you afraid my parents will think you were just saying pleasant things to deceive them?” Lu Youxi’s smile was full of playfulness, as if she was looking forward to watching Zhou Shuyan squirm, with a hint of teasing in her demeanor.

Zhou Shuyan glanced at her nonchalantly, thinking to himself that all this was for whom?

Lu Youxi had no conscience, and here she was enjoying his predicament.

“Anyway, it’s a sham marriage; we’ll get divorced soon enough, so I’m not worried about your parents being angry with me.” Whether he would even see them in the future was uncertain.

“That’s true,” Lu Youxi nodded, Zhou Shuyan was here to help her out, and he wouldn’t have to face her parents in the future; indeed, there was no need to worry about her parents feeling that he had gone back on his word.

However, hearing Zhou Shuyan say so made Lu Youxi feel an indescribable sense of dejection inside her heart.

Seeing Lu Youxi agree so readily, Zhou Shuyan was also taken aback for a moment.

This woman, heartless!

After they had discussed things, Lu Youxi went home and began to pack her things simply.

“Sister, where are you going?” Lu Youxue, seeing Lu Youxi packing in her room from the doorway, came over to ask.

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu had always been confident in Lu Youxi, so they didn’t pay much attention to what she was doing; but hearing Lu Youxue’s words, they felt something was off.

Especially since Lu Youxi had silently accomplished several big things today, which had them both rather tense.

Thus, upon hearing Lu Youxue’s words, they hurried over.

Liu Yushu arrived at Lu Youxi’s doorway in shock, “Youxi, why are you packing? Isn’t it still a while until you have to report for college?”

Lu Youxi, having nearly finished packing, straightened up and told them, “I’m going to move to Grandma Xu’s house for a few days.”

Liu Yushu was startled and quickly said, “Why are you moving there again? Grandma Xu isn’t Xu Mai’s family. Although Xu Mai temporarily bears the Xu surname, it’s just temporary. Hasn’t he already realized who he actually is? It’s just a temporary stay at Grandma Xu’s house; it’s not appropriate for you to move in and live with him, is it?”

Lu Zhenguo also furrowed his brows and said, “Didn’t we agree earlier that you two would maintain the status quo? Why change your mind again?”

“Is it because Xu Mai is unwilling?” Liu Yushu came into the room and took Lu Youxi’s hand with concern. “Earlier, he implied that you didn’t actually discuss it with him. Could it be that he just agreed to it in front of us, and then when you escorted him out, he changed his mind?”

“Then he’s too unreliable,” Lu Youxue pouted unhappily. “How can someone say one thing to your face and another behind your back? If he’s not happy, he shouldn’t have agreed.”

With a gloomy face and without a word, Lu Zhenguo suddenly threw out a statement, “I’ll go find him.”

He then turned and headed for the door.

“Dad!” Lu Youxi quickly grabbed hold of Lu Zhenguo. “It wasn’t Xu Mai’s idea.”

Although Zhou Shuyan said he didn’t mind, for some reason, Lu Youxi truly didn’t want her parents to have a bad impression of Zhou Shuyan.

Moreover, Zhou Shuyan was there to help her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have to bear negative impressions that shouldn’t belong to him.

“I gave it some thought and felt it wasn’t appropriate,” Lu Youxi explained. “Xu Mai thought it best we lived separately for my sake. But you also know how the people in the village love to gossip, and they often spread the most outrageous rumors. If I really lived separately from him, who knows what kind of nasty things they would say?”

“So after thinking it over, I feel that what I told you earlier just doesn’t seem right. Xu Mai has already done so much for me, and if I’m only thinking about myself and not considering his feelings, that would be too selfish.” Lu Youxi said, “Dad, haven’t you always told us not to be so selfish? In any kind of relationship, there needs to be give and take, to consider things from the other person’s perspective, and not only focus on one’s own advantage. Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep anyone by your side in the end.”
