At this time last year, Xu Mingyi was waiting for Lu Ye to celebrate her birthday in a western restaurant, and finally received the sad news that he had died in a car accident.
At this moment this year, she was sitting in Lu Zhou's office, handing a contract to him, her eyes moving, her red lips slightly parted: "Mr. Lu, the one-year inspection period is over. I think we have a good understanding of each other."
Opposite him, Lu Zhou was wearing a tailored suit. His slender fingertips touched the corner of the contract on his desk. His eyes were cold and indifferent: "Miss Xu, please remember that the premise of our cooperation is your sincerity for my brother."
Xu Mingyi said nothing and raised her eyes to meet him.
After a moment, she changed back to her usual charming smile: "Natural, happy cooperation."
On this day the following year, Xu Mingyi "accidentally" exposed the news that she had married into a wealthy family at a grand birthday party. The whole city was shaken and rumors spread.
Ming Ye's CP fans massacred the entire hot search forum, and Xu Mingyi relied on Lu Ye to climb into the Lu family in the capital, and slept with his brother just two years after Lu Ye's death. He was heartbroken.
For a time, both the Lu family and the Song family became the laughingstock of the wealthy circles in the capital.
That night, Lu Zhou hurried home before twelve o'clock and casually picked up a cake and placed it at the door of Xu Mingyi's bedroom, but he happened to catch her dressed up and going out.
Xu Mingyi looked at the cake in his hand and smiled with unclear meaning. The warm yellow light was dim, and Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged. He only said: "Thank you for your hard work. It's a pleasure to work with you."
For his birthday another year, Lu Zhou prepared a surprise in advance, secretly learned how to cook dim sum, and spent a whole day making cakes before choosing a satisfactory one.
He opened the door happily, but did not see his wife on the sofa.
In the bedroom, Xu Mingyi's eyes were red, and his face was filled with excitement that he had never seen before: "Ah Zhou, Lu Ye, Lu Ye is back!"
The cake in Lu Zhou's hand fell on the soft carpet, leaning crookedly and dented at one corner.
Panic struck, and he kissed her lips at some point, like a death struggle before the end.
On Xu Mingyi's 26th birthday, Lu Ye went abroad and left a letter to his brother and sister-in-law: "I wish you a happy marriage."
That day, Lu Zhou received a postcard alone, writing: "Be nice to her."
That day, Xu Mingyi placed a card on the bedside drawer, and the familiar font disappeared little by little: "I feel relieved to see you happy."
Also on that day, Lu Zhou gently placed the slightly drunk Xu Mingyi on the swing in the garden, kissed her lips devoutly, and murmured sweetly: "Yiyi, I am so lucky to work with you for the rest of my life."

"In this long-planned cooperation, you and I have sincerely acted as bait to step into the dangers and make sure those people lose everything."
"It used to be a pleasure to work with, and now it's a pleasure to work together."
