A few days later, Ning Anmiao sent the designed manuscript to Yin Yiyan's email.
Within a few minutes, the familiar avatar flashed again in the lower right corner.
Yan: [You never disappoint, Miaomiao!]
Seeing Yin Yiyan's excitement flooding the screen, Ning Anmiao smiled and tapped on the keyboard.
Miaomiao: [I just sent it. You haven't even had time to look it over carefully. Are you that eager to praise me?]
Yan: [I just glanced at it. It's amazing. I'll take a closer look later!]
The smile on Ning Anmiao's face lingered.
Just then, Yin Yiyan sent another message.
[How's it going with your husband? Do you need my help?]
Looking at this message on the screen, Ning Anmiao was stunned for a moment.
It took her a few seconds to reply slowly.
[Don't worry. I can handle it.]
[That's good. Although I won't be able to see you as soon as I get off the plane, we've agreed. You must come to the charity auction in two months!]
In two months... huh?
Ning Anmiao bit her lips. She lacked confidence.
It wasn't that she was afraid of meeting Yin Yiyan. She was afraid that by that time, she and Lu Yan still wouldn't have swapped their bodies back.
If so, she would have to break her promise again.
Ning Anmiao suddenly realized that during the time she and Lu Yan had swapped souls, although she had gained a lot, she had also lost a great deal.
The urge to swap back became stronger and stronger.
[Okay. I'll try my best.]
[It's a deal!]
...
Ning Anmiao looked at the message from Yin Yiyan on her phone and sighed dejectedly.
Lu Yan was out today. Ning Anmiao was alone in the study. Suddenly, she remembered what the old abbot had said as retold by Lu Yan.
Good deeds bring good results, while bad deeds bring bad ones.
Could this be a hint from fate that their relationship was a bad one?
Looking at the chat history between her and Yin Yiyan about divorce, she hesitated.
After all, she was still a bit reluctant to let go of this marriage.
---
Early in the morning, Lu Yan went out, saying that there were some matters to be taken care of in the company.
Although the two had swapped bodies, they still had their own privacy.
They didn't need to report their schedules and arrangements to each other.
Moreover, Lu Yan didn't usually have any social engagements other than work. Ning Anmiao trusted him very much and knew that he wouldn't cause any trouble in her body.
Actually...
After having dinner with Lin Chuluo that day, Lu Yan deliberately kept the business card that Lin Chuluo had stuffed into his hand when leaving and added him on social media.
When they first became friends, Lin Chuluo greeted him politely a few times and then never sent any more messages.
Lin Chuluo's distant attitude made Lu Yan think that he had misjudged him.
But on Friday, the chat box that had been silent for a long time received another message.
[Miaomiao, are you free this weekend?]
[Didn't you like listening to stories about constellations before? The materials I sorted out during college were incomplete. Now I've learned almost everything.]
[It's a good opportunity for us to catch up.]
Seeing that Lin Chuluo finally couldn't hold back, Lu Yan slightly curled his lips, as if everything was as he had expected.
[Sure. Should we invite Lu Yan?]
Lu Yan deliberately imitated Ning Anmiao's tone when replying.
He was waiting, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The chat box was silent for a few minutes, and then Lin Chuluo calmly replied.
[I think Lu Yan must be very busy with work. I heard that he signed a new project not long ago.]
After a while, seeing that "Ning Anmiao" didn't reply, he sent another message.
[It's been so many years since we last saw each other. I'd like to meet you alone. Is that okay?]
Lin Chuluo still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor. His inquiring tone left room for the other party.
Even when typing these words on the screen, one could still feel his politeness and gentleness.
Except for Lu Yan, of course.
Looking at the short message from Lin Chuluo on the screen, Lu Yan sneered. On the surface, he remained calm, but the grip on his phone tightened significantly.
He knew exactly what Lin Chuluo was up to.
Men understand men best. He couldn't fail to notice the burning look in Lin Chuluo's eyes when he looked at Ning Anmiao.
It was the look a man gives a woman.
In college, he was used to ignoring the outside world and didn't notice Lin Chuluo's feelings for Ning Anmiao. But now he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Yes, Lu Yan clearly remembered that Ning Anmiao had known Lin Chuluo before she met him.
This order of first-come, first-served made a strange sense of panic well up in Lu Yan's heart.
It seemed that he had to accept this invitation.
...
To avoid arousing Ning Anmiao's suspicion, he got up very early. Under the pretext of going back to the company to work, he left home early. He went to the company first and then rushed to the place according to the time and location sent by Lin Chuluo.
Lin Chuluo was very good at choosing a place. The restaurant he had chosen was right in the heart of Shanghai's busiest commercial district.
It was bustling there.
Moreover, the name of the restaurant was quite interesting.
The Pretty Rose.
Lu Yan murmured the name of the restaurant in his heart and stepped in.
It was only after he entered that he realized something was wrong.
The restaurant was very popular, and there were many customers. However, most of them were couples.
It seemed that this was a date spot.
Lu Yan's eyes swept over the other people in the restaurant indifferently. Just as the waiter was about to come up and ask him something, someone suddenly patted him gently on the shoulder from behind. The action was very gentle and well-measured.
"You're early."
Lu Yan turned his head slightly and saw Lin Chuluo standing behind him with a faint smile.
Seeing that "Ning Anmiao" looked stiff, Lin Chuluo smiled slightly and had already thought up an excuse in advance: "I don't usually go shopping much. I asked a friend for advice."
"I told him that I was going to have a meal with a girl I hadn't seen for a long time and was worried that you might not like it, so I asked him to recommend a place."
After saying that, Lin Chuluo glanced meaningfully at the other couples: "Apparently, my friend is a bit unreliable."
His tone was relaxed and humorous. If he had said this to other girls, the atmosphere would have been instantly enlivened. But "Ning Anmiao" still had a straight face, showing no sign of emotion.
"Don't you like it?"
"I don't." "Ning Anmiao" answered without hesitation.
Damn it, I'm not a little girl.
Lin Chuluo lowered his eyes, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his elegant face: "Sorry, Miaomiao. I didn't do my homework well in advance."
"Will it cause you any trouble, Miaomiao?"
