Although she was sleeping in a strange environment, she still woke up at three o'clock.
She opened her eyes and recalled what had happened in the past three months. She felt as if she were dreaming.
Two million per year.
In this year, she would do whatever she wanted with the man around her, and even call him at will.
Fortunately, Li Qingdong didn't like to indulge. In addition, he spent half a month flying in the sky, so they had only met five times.
But each time, he would torture her until she was half dead. Just like last night, from seven o'clock to one o'clock in the morning, Zhu Yu's whole body was about to fall apart.
"You're awake?"
She was about to get up when a big hand behind her pulled her back.
Zhu Yu fell into a warm and wide embrace. Sensing that the man's breathing had become heavy again, she quickly said, "I'm going to the stage. Don't forget, I'm an anchor of the morning news."
"Well, I like morning news, but I like morning exercise more!"
Li Qingdong buried his head in her shoulder and took a deep breath. His tone was full of affection.
Zhu Yu wanted to dodge, but she lost.
It was yet another fight, so when she tried her best to put on her clothes, she was almost late.
Li Qingdong leaned against the head of the bed with a dejected expression. There was a cigarette between his fingers. In the midst of the smoke, he squinted at Zhu Yu.
Indeed, it was not an exaggeration to say that this woman was the most beautiful woman in the Yun City TV station.
"Don't worry. If you're late, you'll be late. If worst comes to worst, you can resign."
Looking at Zhu Yu's flustered look, he suddenly found it a little funny.
As soon as she stopped, she pretended that she didn't hear anything and continued to hold on.
"How about I ask them to change the program for you? How about the entertainment news at six o'clock in the evening? After the show, you can accompany me to have dinner. It's just the right time."
The more Li Qingdong spoke, the more excited he became.
Zhu Yu was afraid that he would come for real, so she quickly stopped him and said, "Stop it, Mr. Li."
She liked her job. The most important thing was that it was decent and enjoyable.
It was not like how she had to numb herself every time she faced him. Soon, it was almost over. There were still nine months left.
"I'm on leave these days. I won't fly."
He put out the cigarette butt and blew out the last smoke ring.
"Where do you want to go?"
He suddenly asked.
Zhu Yu was speechless. Other than the hotel's bed, where else could they go to play?
Before she could answer, Li Qingdong's cell phone rang.
In his memory, when the two of them were together, his cell phone rarely rang.
Zhu Yu instinctively went to the washroom in case she accidentally heard something.
But she was still a step too slow. The word "Zhiqing" suddenly slipped into her ears.
"Zhiqing? Lu Zhiqing?"
Zhu Yu subconsciously thought of that woman.
Everyone in Cloud City knew that Lu Zhiqing was the future daughter-in-law of the Li family, a standard daughter of a wealthy family.
The Li family owned one of the top private trade companies in Cloud City and even in the whole country, Cloud Flying.
As for the Lu family, it was the largest fuel chain in the local area. The marriage between the two families was a perfect match.
However, Lu Zhiqing had gone missing during the wedding.
It was said that she chose to run away from the marriage for a man.
The gossipy heart made Zhu Yu couldn't help but raise her ears. She vaguely heard words like "Come back", "Answer you", "take care".
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhu Yu glanced at the time. If she didn't leave now, she would really be late.
She could only grit her teeth and walk out of the bathroom.
Li Qingdong's call had just ended.
He was already standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. At the 27th floor, the Presidential Suite had an extremely wide vision that could overlook the whole city.
"Mr. Li, I'm leaving."
Zhu Yu said somewhat unnaturally. It was probably because eavesdropping did not suit her usual style.
"Do you know? She's coming back. It's the plane tonight..."
Li Qingdong suddenly turned his head. His voice was hoarse and a little trembling.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the corners of his eyes were slightly damp.
At that moment, Zhu Yu suddenly understood something.
It was no wonder that he would read Lu Zhiqing's name in his dreams. It was not because he was upset, but because he still had feelings for her.
Even if she chose to run away from the marriage for another man and left such a big mess for him.
Zhu Yu felt a little stifled in her heart. She nodded and turned to leave.
As soon as they got out of the hotel, Li Qingdong's driver, A Feng, was already waiting for Zhu Yu. He was very smart and specially drove a low-key car.
Thanks to his fast journey, Zhu Yu was not late, but she was a little later than usual.
She trotted all the way, changed her clothes, and then put on her makeup.
The live broadcast was fresh. As an anchor, Zhu Yu had to be prepared in advance, especially those professional terms that were hard to come by.
The makeup artist was familiar with her. As she wiped the powder, she joked, "Why do you have dark circles around your eyes? You must have stayed up late to pursue the drama recently, right?"
Zhu Yu awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth, "... yes, yes."
"Hey, did you see that 'The Concubine's strategy'? The female lead is such a big white lotus. This time, Jing Yuan knows how to act..."
An assistant interrupted, "She doesn't know how to act. She's acting by herself. I think she's like this in life! Haven't you seen the gossip? It's said that Jing Yuan has a sugar daddy recently. Otherwise, how could she have such a good resource?"
The makeup artist asked curiously, "Who is it?"
The assistant shrugged and snorted. "Li Qingdong, just a few days ago, both of them were photographed in the underground parking lot!"
"I didn't expect Jing Yuan to be so capable. She's going to quit the entertainment industry and become a young mistress!"
"That's right. His surname is Jing and his background is Jing. Hee hee!"
The two of them talked about each other enthusiastically. However, Zhu Yu turned a deaf ear and lowered her head to watch the broadcast.
At 7:30 p.m., as usual, Zhu Yu completed the day's work with a high standard.
After she stepped out of the broadcast room, she felt a little tired.
It was no wonder. She had only slept for less than two hours, and now she was in a coma.
"Xiaozhu, come here."
However, Director Wang at the center of the channel did not let her off. Zhu Yu had no choice but to cheer up and walked into the leader's office.
It was nothing more than an old talk. First, he would ask her about her family's situation. How was Zhu Jin's recovery? How were her parents' health?
Then, he changed the topic and began to care about Zhu Yu's experience.
"Director Wang, thank you for your concern. I don't want to be in a relationship for the time being."
Zhu Yu knew that Director Wang had often been looking for a daughter-in-law for some officials.
The girls working in the TV station were at least good-looking and innocent. They were better than the vixens outside, so they became suitable candidates for many people.
After that, she nodded and turned to leave.
Zhu Yu didn't stop. She walked out of the office, went straight into the elevator, and went all the way to the downstairs of the TV station building, ready to take the subway home.
As soon as she took a few steps, a familiar car followed her.
Li Qingdong rolled down the window, revealing half of his face. "Get in the car."
At the sight of this man, a surge of anger inexplicably rose in Zhu Yu's heart.
She blurted out, "Mr. Li, I'm not your plaything! Also, I'm going on a blind date!"
Zhu Yu thought that Li Qingdong would get angry. They had been together for a period of time, and she didn't even know what he would look like when he got angry.
As a pilot, he was better at controlling his emotions than ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingdong was stunned for a moment and smiled.
