Yun Suiwan always wore a gentle smile, and Lu Dongjue felt a surge of goodwill towards her as he watched her cooperate.

“Mr. Lu, don’t worry, I will come down the mountain once I feel better.”

Lu Dongjue realized that something was wrong with her words; she had misunderstood him.

"Miss Yun, I'm not trying to get rid of you, I'm just worried about your health!"

Lu Dongjue explained, sounding slightly anxious.

Yun Suiwan smiled gently at him the whole time, "Mr. Lu, you are my savior. If it weren't for you on the mountain, I probably would have..." Before she could finish speaking, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

At that moment, Yun Suiwan raised her hand towards him.

Lu Dongjue then noticed that the red mark on her palm had grown larger.

"this……"

Yun Suiwan looked at her palm. "It always grows a little bigger after each full moon. My physical exams show nothing wrong. Isn't that strange?"

Lu Dongjue moved closer to her, wanting to see her more clearly.

Yun Suiwan directly presented her hand to him.

"Did this appear out of nowhere?" Lu Dongjue asked.

Yun Suiwan shook her head. "I've been drugged."

Lu Dongjue then realized that he had indeed misunderstood her before.

"How could this happen? Is there no cure?"

She had an answer, but she didn't want to tell him.

"You won't die anytime soon, you'll just suffer a bit." Yun Suiwan withdrew her hand, her tone revealing a hint of indifference.

"Miss Yun, don't worry, I will ask my friends to help you find the antidote!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan felt a lump in her throat.

Lu Dongjue said the same thing back then.

Yun Suiwan looked at him with tears in her eyes. For a moment, she had the illusion that she and Lu Dongjue had returned to the way they were before.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Lu Dongjue quickly said, "Don't cry, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Um."

Yun Suiwan raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Mr. Lu, thank you."

Their relationship seemed to be changing; after exchanging pleasantries, they fell into a long silence.

They couldn't find any other topics to talk about until the end, and Lu Dongjue made up an excuse and left.

Because his mood changes whenever he spends more time with her.

He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew his heart was about to break free.

After Lu Dongjue left, Yun Suiwan sat up. At that moment, Ye Lina walked in.

"President Yun, Gu Fanyan has come down the mountain."

Yun Suiwan nodded; it was only a matter of time before Gu Fanyan left.

"President Yun, there are rumors circulating outside about you and President Lu."

"Oh, then go and add some ingredients for them."

Yelena understood immediately, "Okay."

Since there's a rumor, let's make good use of it.

Sure enough, when Yun Suiwan went to dinner the next day, everyone else kept staring at her and Lu Dongjue with curious expressions.

Yun Suiwan feigned an innocent and naive expression, allowing Lu Dongjue to take in all their gossipy antics.

Looking at Yun Suiwan again, her long hair partially covered her small face. Her face was too outstanding, especially now that she was weak. She was like a delicate lily, making people want to protect her.

Yun Suiwan, carrying a tray, happened to run into him. She gave him a gentle smile, then left without saying a word.

Lu Dongjue's Adam's apple bobbed as he considered saying something more, but Yun Suiwan had already left.

Yun Suiwan was able to start working again, but she had very few opportunities to meet with Lu Dongjue.

Perhaps because Lu Dongjue had talked to her, Yun Suiwan would not attend any meetings. She would only ask Yelena to convey her message that she unconditionally supported Lu Dongjue.

This back and forth aroused Manager Liu's suspicions.

What exactly is going on between President Lu and President Yun?

When it was time for dinner, Yun Suiwan simply got her food and ate it at home.

Lu Dongjue greeted her midway, but she just smiled shyly and didn't say anything more.

Over the past few days, he has spoken no more than ten sentences to Yun Suiwan.

Lu Dongjue felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Manager Liu walked over and whispered, "Mr. Lu, is it convenient for us to talk further?"

Seeing Manager Liu's mysterious demeanor, they went to the conference room.

"What's wrong?" Lu Dongjue asked.

Manager Liu nervously rubbed his hands together, looking hesitant and stammering.

"Speak your mind."

"President Lu, you and President Yun...you..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue frowned. "What are you trying to say?"

"There's been a lot of talk at the construction site that you and President Yun... are together. You have Miss Gu in City A, and President Yun at the construction site..."

"Nonsense!"

Lu Dongjue said angrily.

Manager Liu felt his heart tremble. "President Lu, please don't be angry. It's just a rumor, just a rumor."

"Nonsense? What are they saying about Miss Yun?"

"They... said that President Yun was too cheap, that a rich young lady would willingly become a mistress..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Dongjue was instantly enraged.

It's one thing to spread rumors about him, but to fabricate such a story about Yun Suiwan is another.

She's a woman, and they've ruined her reputation like this.

"Mr. Yun and I are just friends. There's nothing like that going on. If anyone spreads this nonsense again, they'll be fired immediately and never hired by the Lu Group again!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Manager Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead in fright; it was the first time he had ever seen President Lu lose his temper.

Mr. Lu is known for his good temper, but it seems this rumor has really angered him.

In the days that followed, Lu Dongjue saw Yun Suiwan even less. He didn't know if she was intentionally avoiding him or... she was intentionally avoiding him!

Lu Dongjue met her on the street today and wanted to say a few words to her, but unexpectedly she turned around and left when she saw him.

On several occasions, he acted like a plague god, and Yun Suiwan would avoid him whenever she saw him.

This greatly displeased Lu Dongjue.

During dinner, Lu Dongjue stood at the door, wanting to see how Yun Suiwan would evade him.

However, Yun Suiwan saw him from a distance and turned back.

A short while later, Yelena came over with two trays.

Lu Dongjue's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Where is your CEO, Yun?"

"Mr. Yun is handling company affairs."

Nonsense!

Lies really do come out of their mouths easily.

He clearly saw her!

Lu Dongjue felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.

Lu Dongjue was so hungry and weak after dinner that night.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He clearly remembered that he and she had already talked things out.

All misunderstandings have been cleared up.

Why is she avoiding me?

Manager Liu sat next to Lu Dongjue, watching him sulk, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, did you make President Yun angry?"

Lu Dongjue looked at him irritably. If you have nothing to say, you can just shut up.

To my surprise, Manager Liu was oblivious to the situation. He added, "When a girl gets angry, you have to coax her. This cold war can't go on forever."

After saying that, he leaned close to Lu Dongjue's ear and whispered, "President Lu, I actually think you and President Yun are quite a good match. From family background to appearance, you're a perfect match."

"..."

"Can you shut up, you bastard?"

You tell me.
