Although he told Tao Tao that he was going back to the Lu family mansion, it was already midnight and Lu Zhen didn't want to disturb the Lu family anymore.
Besides, if he suddenly returned home after living outside for so long, his eldest brother would definitely notice.
He was not optimistic about Tao Tao to begin with.
If he knew about this, he would probably use the topic to his advantage and find a way to break up the two of them.
After rejecting Lin Ling's invitation to spend the night at home, Lu Zhen woke up his sleepy personal assistant and asked him to arrange a place for him to stay tonight.
The assistant was also worthy of the generous salary he received from Lu Zhen every month.
He quickly selected a hotel-style apartment not far from his current location among the properties under Lu Zhen's name, and let him Ready for immediate move-in.
What was originally a perfect day plan ended in a farce.
Lu Zhen took out a box from the side pocket of his coat.
It originally contained the ring that he proposed to Su Taotao today, but he did not give it away.
This could probably be regarded as a fate.
Even though Lin Ling and his eldest brother didn't know that he was proposing today, they still blocked his plan by some combination of circumstances.
Whether they did the right thing or not, Lu Zhen doesn't have an answer yet, but through this incident, he understands that maybe the feelings and relationship between him and Su Taotao are not as strong as he imagined.
Putting aside the proposal plan, maybe it is a A wise choice.
What he and Su Taotao need now is for both parties to calm down and think carefully about how to proceed with this relationship that lacks trust.
Lu Zhen thought that he would be sleepless all night, or that he would think of the unforgettable scene when he was a child in his dream.
However, to his surprise, there was no insomnia or nightmares.
He had an unexpectedly good sleep that night, allowing him to wake up the next day and have the energy to think about his and Tao Tao's future.
Today is Tao Tao's birthday.
According to the previous plan, he should go home with her, have a sumptuous dinner cooked by the hospitable aunt, and talk about the engagement by the way.
Although she has decided to temporarily shelve the proposal and engagement, her birthday is still her boyfriend, and there is no reason for him to break the appointment and let her parents get involved in the current muddy water, making the matter more complicated.
So after breakfast, Lu Zhen called Su Taotao and took her to the shopping mall to choose gifts for her parents, as well as her birthday gift, as agreed before.
Su Taotao, who originally thought that he would not show up today and was already preparing to call her mother to tell her that she would not go home for dinner, was overjoyed when she received the call from Lu Zhen.
Su Taotao thought that after this night, Lu Zhen had figured it out and felt relieved, so he came to find him.
But when she got in the car and saw that Lu Zhen didn't even look at her and still had a bad expression on his face, she realized that there were some things that she was too optimistic about.
"Actually, you don't have to force yourself.
I can just go home and eat alone.
My parents won't say anything."
Whether in the car or in the shopping mall, Lu Zhen remained silent.
Even if Su Taotao tried to liven up the atmosphere several times and took the initiative to stir up some topics that Lu Zhen was usually interested in, the other party only responded with a few bland responses, with an obvious perfunctory attitude.
Su Taotao gave up after trying a few times.
Since he is still awkward, he is still an emotional polluter even when he returns home.
If his mother sees that they are quarreling, she will not let them go easily, and she will make him look ugly.
Rather than going to such trouble, it would be better for her to go back by herself and make up a lie that he had something to do temporarily, so as to fool her mother first.
"I will pay attention to controlling my emotions."
Lu Zhen still understood what Su Taotao was thinking, and choked back with one sentence.
She then persuaded her earnestly: "Today is your birthday.
I hope you and your family are happy."
Can be happy.”
But now you have a sullen face, clearly showing that you are still thinking about what happened yesterday, so how can I be happy?
Su Taotao opened his mouth to speak, but felt that saying this was just adding fuel to the fire, so he thought about it and closed his mouth.
Since he wanted to make his parents happy but didn't want them to find out the problem, what reason did she have for not cooperating?
Anyway, she didn't want her nosy mother to get involved.
Lu Zhen did what he said.
As soon as he entered the Su family's door, the gentle smile that had been hanging on his face for many years returned.

His speech was elegant, his behavior was measured, and his calm demeanor seemed to be no different from usual.
Su Taotao also tried his best to put on a smile, but it was a bit forced.
However, Su's mother automatically interpreted her daughter's abnormality as being happy and stupid, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Instead, she and Lu Zhen studied together to buy him.
How to eat the various ingredients that come.
As for Su's father, he was waiting to study the excellent performance of several newly launched models with Lu Zhen, and the old couple almost got into a fight with his wife over her.
The whole family unanimously ignored Su Taotao, the birthday girl, who was supposed to be the protagonist.
She suddenly felt that her father did not love her mother, her boyfriend was angry with her, and she was abandoned by the whole world on her birthday. .
She was forcing a smile, and her parents were helping others.
Although it was her first birthday with her boyfriend, Su Taotao felt extremely aggrieved.
Even when Su's mother cooked a table of her favorite dishes, she was not interested in it, and she ate one less bowl of rice.
She just wanted to go home quickly and explain to Lu Zhen what happened in the past two days.
However, Lu Zhen was much more calm than Su Taotao.
After dinner, he chatted with the two elders for a while.
It was not until Su Taotao was too obviously restless that Shi Shiran stood up and left.
Su Taotao breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to her parents almost happily and went out.
Unavoidably, the two elders sighed and said that girls are not allowed to stay in school.
Su Taotao is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis.
He cannot express his sufferings and can only endure them silently.
After leaving the house, the two of them were relieved without the pressure of their parents.
As expected, Lu Zhen had a poker face again, which looked somewhat similar to Lu Qi.
Su Taotao followed closely.
She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
It wasn't until she got in the car that she hesitated and whispered thank you to Lu Zhen.
"My parents are very happy today, thank you, Lu Zhen."
Su Taotao hugged Lu Zhen's arm coquettishly, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't push her away or dodge.
Just when Su Taotao was about to push forward with his thoughts, Lu Zhen spoke at this moment, but his tone could not hide the fatigue: "Taotao, I think we should separate for a while and calm down.
