Chapter 71 Awkward



Is this normal? Tong Miaomiao hesitated for a moment. She had never seen Lu Jinghuai in the cafeteria in all the time she had been at the company.

Lin Yan also cleared her throat twice and looked away, pretending to be calm as she tugged at Tong Miaomiao's clothes.

"Hurry up and get some food. I just heard they have braised chicken legs today, but if you go too late they'll be gone."

Braised chicken legs are a specialty of Lu’s Restaurant. They are fragrant, spicy and tasty, and taste better than those bought in other restaurants.

However, the cafeteria doesn’t usually make it, and when it does, it’s quickly sold out.

Tong Miaomiao likes to eat braised chicken legs in the cafeteria the most. Usually, she is the one who runs the fastest when she hears that there are braised chicken legs in the cafeteria. However, today she hesitated and asked.

"Aren't you going to have lunch with Mr. Lu?"

"No need." Lin Yan refused decisively: "Am I the kind of person who forgets friends for the sake of beauty?"

Tong Miaomiao swallowed the words on her lips, followed Lin Yan into the cafeteria obediently, and lined up at the window selling braised chicken legs.

The two of them got their meals and found a place to sit down. Lu Jinghuai also sat down at the table behind them.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Lu’s aura was too strong. The table in the restaurant could seat six people, but when the surrounding tables were basically full, there was no one else at Lu Jinghuai’s table except him.

Tong Miaomiao also felt that the gaze she had just felt was correct. Lu Jinghuai's gaze would look towards this side from time to time, and seemed to be mixed with a bit of resentment.

Tong Miaomiao felt like sitting on pins and needles. She looked up at Lin Yan who was still eating in silence, hesitated for a few seconds and asked.

"Yan Yan, don't you want to say hello to Mr. Lu?"

"Huh?" Lin Yan looked up, looking a little bewildered. "Why are you saying hello when you come to the cafeteria to eat?"

It seemed wrong but also seemed right. Tong Miaomiao was silent for a few seconds, but she couldn't help it and asked in a low voice.

"Yan Yan, did you have a fight with Mr. Lu?"

Lin Yan paused while eating, then looked up, speechless: "How is that possible?"

[What a joke! Lu Jinghuai, why would I have a quarrel with him?]

Lin Yan's complaints made Lu Jinghuai look up subconsciously, and their eyes met Lin Yan's. Before Lu Jinghuai could react, Lin Yan had already looked away.

Tong Miaomiao didn't quite believe Lin Yan's answer. She looked at Lin Yan with suspicion and felt a little uncomfortable looking at her.

Tong Miaomiao nodded in understanding and said to herself, "It really doesn't seem like a quarrel."

Lin Yan snorted, lowered her head to drink some water to moisten her throat, and then she heard Tong Miaomiao say something shocking again from the opposite side.

"Arguments don't seem to be this peaceful. You two are having a quarrel."

Lin Yan almost spit out a mouthful of water: "What the hell are you talking about!"

[It's just a young couple having a quarrel. Tong Miaomiao's words are getting more and more outrageous. It might as well be that we were just arguing.]

Lin Yan rolled her eyes and wiped the water droplets from her mouth with a tissue before speaking.

"Sister, please stop imagining things. Didn't we just run into each other in the cafeteria? How could we have a quarrel and a couple's quarrel? We came to the company together this morning."

Tong Miaomiao tutted, "It's not strange that we met in the cafeteria, but your and Mr. Lu's reactions are very strange."

"That's weird." Lin Yan didn't take it to heart, lowered her eyes and continued eating.

Tong Miaomiao, however, propped up the table, leaned over and lowered her voice, "Boss Lu's eyes have been on us but he hasn't come to say hello. You're very surprised. Are you deliberately avoiding Boss Lu?"

Lin Yan paused.

Tong Miaomiao raised her chin with a smug look on her face, as if to say, was I right?

"If you and Mr. Lu are just dating or having an underground relationship, your reactions are not surprising."

"But you two are married, and everyone in the company knows you're Mr. Lu's wife. You and your wife ran into each other in the cafeteria... Even newlywed couples wouldn't be as awkward as you two."

Tong Miaomiao rolled her eyes after she finished speaking, then looked at Lin Yan with a burning gaze: "What else do you have to quibble with?"

Lin Yan pursed her lips.

[Are Lu Jinghuai and I really at odds right now? It's not like we have anything to be at odds with, but...]

[Do I have to go say hello to Lu Jinghuai right now to prove I'm not upset? But that's so fucking awkward.]

【No, why should I prove this. 】

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's all Lu Jinghuai's fault. He's been acting weird these past two days, making me feel so weird for no reason.]

Lin Yan couldn't help but look a little angry, and bit the chopsticks in her mouth hard.

Lu Jinghuai also heard all of Lin Yan's messy cursing and complaints, and his expression couldn't help but become gloomy. He lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.

Tong Miaomiao saw that Lin Yan didn't say anything for a long time, and clicked her tongue twice.

"You and Mr. Lu are really having a fight. What's the matter? Tell me about it. I might be able to enlighten you. I'm very experienced.

Lin Yan finally came back to her senses. She looked at Tong Miaomiao who was a little excited in front of her, pulled the corners of her mouth speechlessly, and asked directly.

"What experience do you have? Didn't you say you were single from birth?"

"Yes, but I've read tens of thousands of books on domineering CEO literature. During college, I served as a love strategist in my dorm room, helping three of my roommates find their partners."

Tong Miaomiao spoke with great pride, and after she finished speaking, she looked directly at Lin Yan.

"How about sisters."

Lin Yan was silent: "Not really... Your food is getting cold, you should eat quickly."

Tong Miaomiao also reacted and lowered her head to take a big mouthful of rice: "Really, if you trust me, I have experience. Just tell me about the problem between you and Mr. Lu, and I will help you find a way to solve it."

Lin Yan rolled her eyes silently.

What can I say? Should I tell you that Mr. Lu seems to have feelings for me and wants to make it real?

Lu Jinghuai paused for a moment as he was drinking water and put it on the table. He raised his eyes to look at Lin Yan but only saw the top of her head as she lowered her head to eat rice.

Fake becomes real...

This word is used.

Lu Jinghuai actually didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment, but this trip to Province S had indeed changed his opinion of Lin Yan a lot.

Although he still didn't know the specific situation of Lin Yan, he had a general idea.

His previous guess was wrong. Lin Yan was not sent by anyone else and did not belong to any other force.

This answer made him feel relieved. As for what Lin Yan said about turning the fake into reality, he did seem to have some idea about it.

First of all, Lin Yan has too many secrets, and he feels at ease only when he keeps her under his nose.

Secondly, starting from the Song family's cruise ship, he and Lin Yan had turned their fake play into reality. He was not averse to Lin Yan, and even had some concerns and emotions about her that he himself did not understand.
