Chapter 196 Sudden Confession
Xu Youyou was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know what Lu Jingyao was going to tell her for a while, but she still cooperated and pulled him to a small room in a remote location in the backyard.
The room was very small, only a few square meters in size. The cramped environment reminded Xu Youyou of the small stairwell where she first rented a house in Shanghai.
At this time, there were some paper boxes randomly placed on the floor of the room, and the only furniture was an old and dirty cabinet.
"Although this is just a utility room, it was my former secret base."
Xu Youyou skillfully moved the small dirty cabinet against the wall. There was a hole in the wall behind the cabinet.
There was an iron box in the hole that was the size of an adult's hand. The iron box was already rusty. Xu Youyou opened the box and looked at the two lollipops stored inside. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Some other children discovered this place and hid a treasure inside." Xu Youyou said with a smile.
Seeing this situation, Lu Jingyao immediately understood that this iron box should be where Xu Youyou used to hide things. After she left the orphanage, the box was not abandoned, but someone continued to hide things in it.
Xu Youyou didn't feel embarrassed at all about stealing children's snacks. She picked up two lollipops, checked that they were still within the shelf life, and handed one to Lu Jingyao.
"Eat, I'm treating you." Xu Youyou looked generous, as if he was consuming his own things.
Lu Jingyao reached out and took it. It seemed to be some kind of off-brand lollipop, but because it was handed over by Xu Youyou, Lu Jingyao accepted it very carefully.
Xu Youyou held a lollipop in her mouth and asked with a leisurely expression: "Mr. Lu, what do you want to say to me?"
Lu Jingyao was just impulsive before, but looking into Xu Youyou's eyes now, he felt a little panicked. Even so, he knew that he might get a result that he was not happy with.
But he has always been a man who moves forward, and he feels that now is almost the right time.
"I like you." Lu Jingyao said aloud.
"Cough cough cough!" Xu Youyou suddenly coughed violently when he heard this.
Lu Jingyao reached out and patted her back unhurriedly, and asked with a smile: "Is my love so terrible?"
Xu Youyou's mouth was filled with the smell of inferior lollipops, and her mind was confused for a moment. When she heard this, she didn't even dare to turn her head to look at Lu Jingyao, so she could only shake her head hard.
In her mind, Lu Jingyao was a ruthless money-making machine, and she always felt that it would be difficult for such a person to have such emotions.
Lu Jingyao did not mean to force him, but said: "My parents know my thoughts very well. I hope their behavior does not cause any trouble to you."
Xu Youyou shook her head: "It won't bother me."
Although the attitude of the Lu family's parents was extremely obvious, they did not mean to force her too much in their actions. They even sent huge donations to the orphanage to help her out.
"You don't have to rush to give me feedback. I just think you should have the right to know about this matter." Lu Jingyao's expression was softer than ever before.
Xu Youyou felt that these words were a bit strange. It didn't sound like a confession, but more like the police and the victim's family explaining the case. It seemed too formal. But when she turned her head, she saw Lu Jingyao's eyes full of tenderness. , couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
It was as if a hand gently touched her heartstrings.
Lu Jingyao just stared at her: "I have been prejudiced against many people, but you are the only one who made me change my prejudices and realize my mistakes."
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this, perhaps because Lu Jingyao had apologized for this incident before, so now that the old matter was brought up again, her mood was very stable. "You are a very good person, but I am not as good as outsiders think."
Lu Jingyao still remembered the first time the two met. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he still accepted that he was a normal man.
At the auction venue, Xu Youyou really made his eyes shine, as if she was completely in tune with her own aesthetics.
Then when he saw her arguing with the Gu brothers and sisters, Lu Jingyao should have watched from the other side, but he couldn't hold it back. The balance in his heart quietly tilted towards Xu Youyou, and he helped.
Abroad, he didn't like Xu Youyou's ecstatic look when accepting gifts. He always felt that she should be more reserved, so that it would be more in line with his presupposition of her.
But after more and more contacts, Lu Jingyao gradually realized that he was wrong.
Xu Youyou is not a person born for him. She has her own ideas. Even if she does not conform to his aesthetics, Lu Jingyao's favor grows day by day in his heart. He cannot control his chasing eyes.
The arrival of love is always unreasonable.
He didn't fall in love with Xu Youyou because she matched her aesthetics, but fell in love with Xu Youyou who changed his aesthetics.
Xu Youyou's mood was very complicated at this time. Lu Jingyao was not her boyfriend, but there was no doubt that he was an extremely high-quality partner.
His appearance, family background and even personal ability can be said to be among the top in the country.

Xu Youyou looked at the other party's gentle and gazing eyes, and her heart suddenly started to beat wildly. She suddenly left her sight, not daring to continue to look at Lu Jingyao.
Want to fall in love?
She was single throughout her two lifetimes combined.
In her previous life, almost all of her emotions were devoted to the Lu family. In fact, it was not that no one showed love to her.
But when she thought of the painful experiences she had suffered in the Gu family, it was difficult for her to devote all her attention to a relationship.
In order to avoid being hurt, one instinctively wants to escape.
"I...I really didn't think it through..." Xu Youyou said.
She expected to see a pair of disappointed eyes.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyao's eyes were full of tolerance.
"Don't be in a hurry. This is a big deal. You should really think about it slowly. I'm already very happy that you didn't refuse immediately." Lu Jingyao said with a smile.
Xu Youyou felt relieved, but inevitably felt a sense of guilt.
She had to admit that she had a slight affection for Lu Jingyao. After all, she had earned tens of billions from him. Lu Jingyao did convince people with money, but she couldn't figure out whether it was a relationship between a man and a woman.
"I didn't respond immediately. Don't you think I'm hanging on you?" Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask.
Mother Xu, who raised her, had always held her to a very high moral standard, so she felt guilty one after another.
Lu Jingyao was not a real little white rabbit. In this circle, he was used to seeing women hanging on men and men hanging on women. He couldn't help but laugh at this moment.
"Why do I think about you so much? I like you, so I am willing to believe you. Since you said you want to think about it, it means that you really need to think about it. Besides, this is a major matter and should be planned before making a decision."
