After some thought, she called him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu quickly picked up. “Lili?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trailed off a little, obviously asking about what had just happened. “Are you busy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li remembered what she had been thinking about. She had not even had the time to close that photo of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks felt a little hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I accidentally pressed the wrong button.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Ning Li felt that she had been caught doing something wrong even though Lu Huaiyu was not in front of her at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu could hear it in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his eyebrows slightly but did not probe further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you used to Shuiyuan Shijia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhmm...it’s nice.” Ning Li replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it felt a bit too big to stay here alone, it was not a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu was silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt a little strange. “Second Brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu smiled. “That’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li felt that there was something off about his tone, but she could not pinpoint it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you free tomorrow?” Lu Huaiyu changed the subject. “You’ve finished reading the books you borrowed previously, right? There are a few books that are related to those topics at home. If you want, I can send them to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had actually been sent to Yunzhou, but Lu Huaiyu had brought them back to the Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Ning Li had been busy with training, so he had never mentioned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li froze, having not expected Lu Huaiyu to be so concerned about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu read out the names of two of the books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she remembered correctly, both of these books had not been released in the country this year because of copyright reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Lu Huaiyu actually has them?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly gotten them through other channels, yet he mentioned them so casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lili?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu noticed that she was quiet and called out to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li came back to her senses and said softly, “Thanks, Second Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu heard her obedient voice and smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you staying in the apartment below Master Yu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, Building 3, 901.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay. I’ll send them to you tomorrow morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the morning?” Ning Li was a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a morning meeting at the office and there are some things I have to take care of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had put off most of his work and social engagements during his year of recuperation in Yunzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior directors at the Headquarters in the Capital were hoping that Lu Huaiyu would come back, and he had finally done so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li understood and asked, “Second Brother, are you preparing to move back to the Capital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just for a few days, but a real long-term move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lu Huaiyu was going to the Headquarters and had started to handle work matters, it was obvious that he was ready to make the shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘She’s very clever… She figured it out with only a small hint…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He barely said anything but she immediately guessed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” He answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li did not say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Yeah, it’s about time for him to move back to the Capital from Yunzhou…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her past life, he had actually returned to the Capital a few months earlier, but this time, it had been delayed for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His home was here, and the Headquarters of the Lu Corporation was also here, so of course, he would have to return sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So...did this mean that he’s almost recovered from his illness?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s mind flashed through countless thoughts. She was quiet for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused and said flirtatiously, “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li hesitated and asked, “Second Brother, are you still going back to Yunzhou after Chinese New Year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was preparing to return to the Capital, he would probably not go back to Yunzhou too often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows. “Yeah, I still have some things that need to be brought back to the Capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li let out an “oh” and inexplicably felt a bit lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That means he’ll move back to the Capital for good afterward…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s very late, so you should go to bed early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she eventually swallowed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay. Goodnight, Second Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodnight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li hung up the phone. Lu Huaiyu’s deep and lazy voice seemed to be echoing in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently rubbed her ears, put the phone down, and walked over to her suitcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li took out a sealed file from the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staring at it for a while, she was about to open it, but she suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she put it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went to the drawing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Yu Pingchuan’s house. Although he lived upstairs, this apartment’s decor and the apartment upstairs were very similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had put in a lot of effort to build this drawing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had especially cleaned the place for Ning Li to stay in, so it was equipped with all kinds of paints, brushes, and other painting materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li set up the drawing board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu put away the books that had been sent from abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he received a message on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Second Young Master, I saw a painting in Jinse Bay today that looked like that artist’s work....but there’s no signature on it.
