The person outside the door wore a black turtleneck sweater, her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Paired with black-rimmed glasses, she looked youthful and innocent.
It was Lu Yu's tutor, Tan Meng.
Shu Qingqing suddenly stood up from Lu Bochuan's lap: "Ms. Tan, why are you here?"
Tan Meng was somewhat at a loss. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu. I didn't know you were here... um... I was just looking for the bathroom."
"It's fine, the bathroom is over there." Shu Qingqing smiled and pointed to the right.
But Tan Meng wasn't in a hurry to leave: "Mrs. Lu, is this Lu Yu's father, President Lu?"
"Oh, right." Shu Qingqing just remembered that Lu Bochuan hadn't met Tan Meng yet. "Lu Bochuan, this is Lu Yu's tutor, Ms. Tan. This is Lu Yu's father."
"You are President Lu? It's so nice to meet you!" Without waiting for Shu Qingqing to speak, Tan Meng walked in with an excited face and reached out both hands toward Lu Bochuan.
Lu Bochuan didn't shake her hand, merely nodding: "Ms. Tan."
Now that they had met, under normal circumstances, since this was a private space and not the living room, Tan Meng should have left. However, she didn't. Instead, she took the initiative to sit down on the sofa and started talking to Lu Bochuan about Lu Yu's studies.
Lu Bochuan was already a bit displeased about being interrupted. Now, with this Tan Meng sitting there talking about things he already knew, he grew impatient.
"Thank you. I am already aware of what you've said, Ms. Tan, there is no need to inform me further." Lu Bochuan interrupted her, his intention to see the guest out very obvious.
Tan Meng froze for a moment.
Since she was Lu Yu's teacher after all, Shu Qingqing couldn't just watch her be embarrassed and could only say, "Weren't you going to the bathroom, Ms. Tan? I'll take you there."
"Oh, oh, okay." Tan Meng had no choice but to get up.
Shu Qingqing walked to the door and pointed it out to her. She waited until Tan Meng went in before turning around.
Lu Bochuan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, directly closed the door, and locked it. "I want to continue."
Shu Qingqing smiled slightly and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck.
Half an hour later, the door to the yoga room finally opened.
Lu Bochuan pulled her to go downstairs.
But Shu Qingqing pushed him slightly: "Go downstairs and get me some ice cubes. If Lu Xun sees me like this, he will definitely be curious again."
Lu Bochuan gently stroked her lips before leaving.
There was still an hour before dinner. After getting the ice cubes for Shu Qingqing, Lu Bochuan planned to go to the study to reply to a few emails.
Opening the door of the yoga room, he saw Tan Meng again.
"President Lu, I'm going to the bathroom," Tan Meng immediately explained.
Lu Bochuan nodded and directly opened the door to the study.
Tan Meng looked at the scene inside the study that flashed by and excitedly clenched her fists.
It was truly a case of finding something effortlessly after searching high and low for it!
The study was actually right here!
And the study just had an ordinary door, not a combination lock as that person had guessed.
More importantly, there were no surveillance cameras installed on the second floor!
Didn't this mean that as long as no one noticed, she could casually enter this study?
That person had said that hiding a bug in the study would get her five hundred thousand, and copying the files from Lu Bochuan's computer would get her a million.
Originally, she thought that a rich man like Lu Bochuan would definitely have strict security measures at home, so she only planned to take the five hundred thousand.
She didn't expect that even an important place like the study wouldn't be locked. Did that mean Lu Bochuan's computer might not have a password either?
Tan Meng suddenly felt that getting the one million wasn't impossible.
It was just that she didn't expect Lu Bochuan to be so handsome. She originally thought he was a greasy middle-aged man.
Her ideal type was exactly this kind of mature, steady, noble, and handsome man.
Tan Meng sighed. What was the use of being handsome? He was already married. She should just honestly do the job and try to get the one million.
After thinking about this for a while, Tan Meng returned to Lu Yu's room.
At seven o'clock, Nanny Li came over to call Shu Qingqing for dinner.
Shu Qingqing looked in the mirror and saw that her lips had mostly returned to normal, which put her mind at ease.
Just as she reached the top of the stairs, she saw Tan Meng and Lu Yu coming out of the room.
"Ms. Tan, you haven't left yet?" Shu Qingqing glanced at her phone; it was five past seven.
The previously agreed tutoring time with Tan Meng was from four to six in the afternoon every day. Previously, Tan Meng would stay a few extra minutes, but unexpectedly, she had stayed an extra hour today.
Tan Meng smiled: "I helped Lu Yu look at a few more chemistry problems, so I stayed a bit longer."
Shu Qingqing immediately felt a bit embarrassed: "Thank you for your hard work. It's so late... Ms. Tan, why don't you stay and have dinner with us? I'll have the driver take you back later."
Tan Meng was incredibly excited inside. If she stayed for dinner, she might be able to complete the task assigned by that person tonight!
Lu Yu also spoke up and asked her to stay.
Tan Meng then smiled reservedly: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu. Then I will... respectfully accept your offer."
The family of four and Tan Meng sat down in the dining room.
The meal was very lavish. The family of four chatted occasionally, and Tan Meng would always chime in to cooperate, but in her heart, she was waiting for a suitable time to leave the table.
Halfway through the meal, Lu Bochuan received a phone call and left. Then Lu Xun suddenly knocked over his soup bowl, and Shu Qingqing took him to change his clothes.
Lu Yu originally wanted to follow Shu Qingqing to help Lu Xun change clothes, but Tan Meng was still there. Out of politeness, he could only stay.
The timing was perfect.
Tan Meng pinched her pocket, confirmed that the USB flash drive and the bug were both there, and then put down her chopsticks: "Excuse me, Lu Yu, I'm going to the bathroom."
She got up and, taking advantage of Lu Yu's inattention, quickly went up to the second floor.
However, she didn't know that after Lu Bochuan finished his call, his phone happened to run out of battery, so he returned to his room to charge it.
Tan Meng carefully walked to the door of the study. Just as she was about to wrap the doorknob with toilet paper, the door opposite suddenly opened.
Tan Meng was violently startled. She turned around and saw it was Lu Bochuan.
Before he could speak, Tan Meng hastily waved the toilet paper in her hand. "Um... I'm going to the bathroom!"
Lu Bochuan looked at her back and frowned.
In just two short hours, this Ms. Tan had gone to the bathroom twice.
They rarely had guests stay over, and even if they did, they stayed in the guest room downstairs. The guest bathroom upstairs was generally used by Lu Xun.
Lu Bochuan already had a bit of a germaphobe tendency. Seeing an outsider use Lu Xun's bathroom multiple times made him feel uncomfortable.
Plus, he had been interrupted in the yoga room today.
Just as he was thinking this, Shu Qingqing led Lu Xun upstairs to change clothes.
Lu Bochuan glanced at his son, who was covered in soup, and followed them in.
Shu Qingqing took off Lu Xun's dirty clothes and went to the closet to get clean ones.
Lu Xun stuck out his little belly, anxiously pacing back and forth on the bed. "Hurry up, Mom. Hurry up, Mom, I want to go down and eat."
Today they had his favorite sweet and sour spare ribs.
Lu Bochuan glanced at his little belly, took the clothes from Shu Qingqing's hands, and as he helped him put them on, he said, "Has Lu Xun eaten a bit too much?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun instantly tensed his body. "No way! Dad, you saw wrong. My tummy is completely empty right now!"
Shu Qingqing patted his little watermelon tummy in amusement. "It is a little plump, but the doctor said it was normal during your last checkup. All little kids have tummies like this."
Only then did Lu Xun finally relax. As soon as he finished changing his clothes, he darted out of the room.
Lu Bochuan and Shu Qingqing walked out just in time to see Tan Meng heading downstairs as well.
"From now on, let's have Ms. Tan teach Lu Yu in the first-floor guest room," Lu Bochuan said.
"Why?" Shu Qingqing asked, puzzled.
Lu Bochuan raised his hand and gently caressed her lips with the pad of his thumb. "It's inconvenient."
Shu Qingqing: ...
