The waiter gently served them expensive red wine. After letting it breathe, he poured them each a gla.s.s.
Soft music flowed out slowly. Bamboo Garden was like a paradise on earth.
Lu Heting reached out to the woman. “Can I invite you for a dance?”
Su Bei stood up with a smile and entered his embrace. She danced elegantly, highlighting her slender waist.
Lu Heting’s dancing skills were also very good. He was tall, and his movements were strong and elegant, matching Su Bei very well.
When the song ended, the two of them also ended their dance.
Su Bei panted slightly. Lu Heting lifted her waist and kissed her red lips.
There was a long pause.
Lu Heting said, “Su Bei, I have something to tell you.”
Su Bei said almost in unison, “Hubby, I have something to tell you.”
Su Bei could not help but laugh. Her bright smile spread on her beautiful first. “Then you go first.”
Lu Heting clenched his fists.
His expression changed from relaxed to solemn.
Su Bei could not help but laugh again. “What’s the matter? Is it that serious? Don’t scare me.”
“Su Bei…” Lu Heting’s eyes narrowed. He held her hand and tightened his grip as if he was worried that she would pull her hand away. “Actually, I’m a member of the Lu family. That’s my real ident.i.ty.”
“Of course, I know you’re from the Lu family. Your surname is Lu.”
“The Mr. Lu that outsiders always talk about is me,” Lu Heting said directly. “I’m not Lu Weijian’s driver. I was never his driver from the start. You mistook it that way, and I just went along with it…”
Suspicion flashed through Su Bei’s eyes, but her brain clearly understood what he meant.
There were many things going through her heart at this moment. It was as if the clouds had parted and she had discovered some sort of truth.
Lu Weijian’s excessive kindness, Lu Group’s investment, Mr. Pang’s obedient att.i.tude in not pursuing the matter, and even a room in a seven-star hotel…
In her bright eyes, the truth was revealed.
It was because she was too foolish previously and did not think too much about these unusual things. But now, there was an explanation for everything.
Lu Heting grabbed Su Bei’s hands tightly. “Su Bei, I didn’t lie to you on purpose. You said before that you hated how wealthy families were full of schemes and you didn’t like the complicated world of the rich. Hence, I didn’t reveal my true ident.i.ty to you. I was afraid that you would leave like you did five years ago.”
There was a hint of timidity in his voice. He was usually never like this but the current situation had made him anxious.
He reached out and held Su Bei in his arms.
His fingers tightened slightly, and his entire body was trembling. Su Bei could clearly feel his panic.
She asked in a low voice, “Then why are you telling me this now?”
“Actually, I wanted to tell you on the day of the charity gala. I have to tell you the truth myself.” Lu Heting’s voice was low. “Su Bei… will you forgive me?”
Su Bei, who was in his arms, didn’t say anything for a long time. This made Lu Heting’s heart hang in the air.
After a long while, Su Bei raised her eyes and looked at him seriously. “Forget it, I don’t blame you. It’s all because I like you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Mr. Lu or not. You’re still Lu Heting, aren’t you? Anyway, the man I like is called Lu Heting. It’s definitely Lu Heting.”
