A Round Trip To Love Volume 1 Chapter 33 110 Mar 15, 2020

I woke up aching and tingling all over, in a trance. It felt like I had a long and demanding dream. Lu Feng has left. I glanced at the clock while putting on my clothes, acknowledging that the bonus for full attendance this month is down the drain, I might as well sit down and space out for a minute.

Lu Feng left a note, and a weighty door key.

His writing were as straightforward and impolite as his speech: " I will head back to the office first, you can get a day off. " A few paragraph spacing below, an additional line: " Move in, let's stay together."

To be able to return to his side was a far-fetched dream I secretly harbored.

Perhaps one day I have to hand over the key and get kicked out into the streets with my bags.

He had forsaken me once, it would be much easier and less burdensome to do it a second time.

The problem is that I do not think I can survive another major upheaval in a lifetime.

Making a rash decision during a moment of passion is one thing, but when you have woken up and do not comprehend that this is not a fairy tale, then that is a whole different story. The reality of the matter is such that the more I ponder over it, the more clear-headed I am. Making this decision would mean I can never lay my eyes on this precious key ever again, which I could not bear to let go right now, so I enclosed it in the box together with the silver ring, and take it out every night to look at it like a beloved baby before I sleep.

Lu Feng did not take the initiative to look for me, I knew he was waiting for my answer.

Whether I nod or shake my head, it both requires an enormous amount of courage, I could not find myself taking a step towards either side.

In hiding for more than two weeks, the stress had made me lose more weight. Zhu Sha covertly brought a tape measure and made me measure my waist, the circumference just about 20 inches, more effective than any diet shakes she ever took. Seeing my clothes dangling around my body, Zhu Sha was super envious.

After work, Zhu Sha enthusiastically tried to get a group of us to go to a Japanese restaurant. It is payday. This has always been our modus operandi, a rich man at the beginning of the month and a pauper by the end of it, to a point where even buying instant noodles involved a careful selection of the cheaper variants.

" You, you, you, you, and you, none of you think of escaping. " This woman authoritatively ticked off a number of people in her list, needless to say me and Ding DIng are indispensable.

" Can I choose the 100 yuan buffet instead of ordering ala carte ?" I smiled wryly. " I need to save money to get an upgrade for my computer, last month I only managed to save 50 cents………"

" The Queen decides what we eat, stop being a nag!"

Ding Ding this dog traitor.

Quarreling all the way out the office, we saw a dark blue BMW sports car parked along the road seemingly waiting for someone. Everyone could recognize it as the Boss' mount.

I instinctively hid behind Ding Ding.

This exasperating man swiftly moved to block Zhu Sha instead: " Zhu Sha, we agreed to go together, if he is here to invite you for dinner, you must not agree! "

His heartfelt genuineness was rewarded by Zhu Sha's proclamation: " Crazy! "

Lu Feng walked over to greet everyone, his eyes looking at me: " I have something to discuss with Yi Chen. "

I flinched and shrank back, he reached out for my arms calmly: " Let's talk in the car."

" We have arranged to go for Japanese food together! " I pointed to the group.

" Oh? I have not taken dinner too, we might as well go together, my treat."

" It's ok no need." This gang is rarely so united in their response, " Just go ahead and take your time." And promptly made a clean getaway.

A friendly dinner amongst colleagues is like eating the atmosphere, with the presence of the boss than it becomes like eating the cutleries. Everyone understands this logic.

" You planned to have Japanese cuisine? Then let's find a restaurant." Lu Feng looks laid back as he drove the car, his sleeves rolled up to expose a pair of long, beautiful muscled arms. The heater in the car must be set too high as I felt my palms starting to sweat. The strength embodied beneath that fitting silk shirt is something I know fully well. In such close proximity to me, I cannot help being nervous.

" Don't trouble yourself, I'll just grab a quick takeaway will do……… I have to rush for a design plan by tonight…………"

He might as well have not heard me and as he continued driving.
