At three o'clock in the afternoon, the alarm clock that Lin Yan set rang. Lin Yan got up yawning, but found that Lu Jinghuai was not there.
I was clearly sleeping with her, but I got up early. How long has he rested?
Lin Yan wrinkled her nose, washed up briefly, and opened the door.
In the living room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Lu Jinghuai was talking on the phone, his brows slightly cold.
No one knew what was said on the other end of the phone, but Lu Jinghuai simply said "hmm", cold and reserved.
Lin Yan paused and slowed down her pace, but still sat down on the sofa.
【Men at work are indeed the most handsome. 】
Lu Jinghuai, who was about to enter the study, stopped and calmly walked back to the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to the report from the other end of the phone, occasionally responding with two or three words.
Lin Yan also received a text message from Tong Miaomiao: "Yan Yan, the manager said our department needs to get together. Are you coming? Do you want me to wait for you?"
Lin Yan subconsciously glanced at Lu Jinghuai who was still on the phone and replied quickly.
"Okay! I'll be back later, but I'll be late, so don't wait for me."
About ten minutes later, the call ended. Lu Jinghuai hung up the phone calmly and then looked at Lin Yan who was sitting on the sofa.
"Are you up?"
"Hmm..." Lin Yan answered hesitantly.
[I kind of suspect Lu Jinghuai is just making small talk.]
Lu Jinghuai was silent for a few seconds, then glanced at the time before speaking again: "The afternoon gathering time is almost here, shall we set off now?"
"Let's go, let's go!" Lin Yan also reacted immediately. It was almost half past three, and she was a little anxious: "Lu Jinghuai, hurry up, don't let them wait for the two of us."
Lu Jinghuai said "hmm", picked up his coat and set off.
When the two arrived at the assembly point, almost everyone else was there, and each department head was holding a meeting with the department staff to explain precautions.
Lin Yan saw Tong Miaomiao at a glance. Just as she was about to go over and thought of something, she stopped and said to Lu Jinghuai beside her.
"I'm going to the translation department first to see what the manager said. Please wait here for me."
After saying that, Lin Yan ran directly into the secretariat without waiting for Lu Jinghuai's response.
The manager was talking about the situation at the villa and the location for the picnic in the evening, and he turned a blind eye to Lin Yan's "lateness".
The gathering at this time was not a serious meeting, and there was no long speech. After a few simple words, the manager announced that everyone could set off for the orchard.
Lin Yan naturally took Tong Miaomiao's hand immediately: "We..."
Before she could finish her words, Tong Miaomiao seemed to see what Lin Yan was thinking and interrupted her directly.
"I'm going to play with the others this afternoon. You and Mr. Lu can enjoy your time alone together."
Lin Yan hesitated, because she knew that Tong Miaomiao's relationship with others in the office was very ordinary.
Tong Miaomiao saw Lin Yan's hesitant expression and rolled her eyes without any hesitation.
"Come on, I have a normal relationship with the others, but we don't have any grudges against each other. It's normal for us to play together, but if I play with you, I will have to face President Lu... What kind of good person would play with the leader and become a light bulb for the leader?"
Lin Yan thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense.
Several colleagues in the office were already getting ready to leave. Seeing Tong Miaomiao still talking to Lin Yan, they hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Miaomiao, will you be with us or Lin Yan this afternoon?"
As for letting Lin Yan join them, they had never thought of it. Everyone knew that Lu Jinghuai also participated in this team building. Lin Yan was Mrs. Lu, so if they brought Lin Yan, they would have to bring Lu Jinghuai along as well.
Everyone has the same idea as Tong Miaomiao, which is to build a team with the good people and the leaders.
Tong Miaomiao waved to Lin Yan when someone called her: "I'm leaving first~ Bye."
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds and decided to go back to find Lu Jinghuai.
She just sent a message to Lu Jinghuai asking him to go to the store to buy a few bottles of water. He should be back soon.
Lin Yan walked towards the convenience store.
At the same time, on the other side, Lu Jinghuai bought some water and walked out of the store. Many people greeted Lu Jinghuai on the way.
Lu Jinghuai might not know all of them, but he still nodded in response.
Across the street, several people from the secretariat also happened to come to the canteen together, including An You.
An You paused for a moment when she saw Lu Jinghuai, but still looked up.
"Hello, Mr. Lu." An You's eyes curved slightly.
Lu Jinghuai also paused and said "hmm" without saying anything more, and did not stop.
As the two were about to pass each other, An You couldn't help but call out again, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Jinghuai stopped and looked at An You, as if waiting for her next words, his expression remained calm.
"Boss Lu, I submitted my resignation letter. Have you seen it?"
An You looked at the man in front of her, trying hard to hide the bitterness in her heart. In fact, she had given up the moment Lu Jinghuai got married, but she was always a little unwilling.
Last week, under pressure from her family, she finally resigned. According to her parents' plan, she will return to her own company and then go on a blind date and get married.
Her future will no longer be connected with Lu Jinghuai, and the initial affection she felt was just a dream during her teenage years.
But just a moment ago, she couldn't help but call Lu Jinghuai. She wanted to know if she was special in Lu Jinghuai's heart.
However, An You was destined to be disappointed. Lu Jinghuai frowned and said, "I think I've already signed it and given it to the Human Resources Department. Is there a problem with the process?"
An You paused for a long moment, then pulled the corners of her mouth together bitterly: "Mr. Lu, no problem."
Lu Jinghuai said "hmm" and the two passed each other.
Lin Yan, who couldn't wait any longer, followed the signs to the store and happened to see this scene.
And... they are quite a good match.
Lin Yan tried hard to ignore the bitterness in her heart, but Lu Jinghuai seemed to have noticed something and looked over, his eyes softening.
Lin Yan pretended to be calm and walked over to ask, "What did Secretary An say to you just now?"
Lu Jinghuai gave the bottle of water in his hand to Lin Yan and said in a light tone: "She said she resigned."
"And then?" Lin Yan was a little curious: "What did you say?"
Lu Jinghuai recounted the conversation truthfully.
Lin Yan was silent for a few moments, and suddenly felt some sympathy for An You.
[Lu Jinghuai is truly blind. Such a beautiful girl, yet he has no reaction at all?]
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Lin Yan beside him, pulled the corner of his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
[It's all Lu Jinghuai's fault. He's a troublemaker, messing with the little girl.]
Lu Jinghuai remained silent again, leaving no room for explanation.
There are many fruits grown in the villa, such as pomegranates, oranges, tangerines, and kiwis.
But the oranges don’t seem to be very ripe and are a bit sour. If you are not afraid of sourness, you can eat them.
Lin Yan peeled an orange and fed it directly to Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai frowned but did not spit it out.
"Is it sweet?"
Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "It's sour."
"oh."
Lin Yan continued to feed Lu Jinghuai oranges calmly. Lu Jinghuai paused and ate the whole orange obediently.
So sour.
