Chapter 26 I'm ready to marry you anytime you need me.
"Luo Zhiwei, speak up, where are you going?"
Lu Jingxiao was getting quite angry.
What does it mean that she stands here on the road without saying a word?
"I...I have some personal business to attend to, it'll only take an hour, I'll be back as soon as possible." Luo Zhiwei thought Lu Jingxiao was worried that she would be late for work, so she continued, "I checked the schedule, I'm free for the rest of today, and I don't have any urgent work to do."
"I will make up for the hour I lost by working overtime."
This should be fine, right?
"Secretary Luo, you still haven't said what you're going to do. You need to have a reason."
Did you just dismiss him with two words, "private matter"?
That won't do.
"I...I'm just going to ask a friend to pick something up. I'll be right back."
Luo Zhiwei originally wanted to brush it off, not wanting Lu Jingxiao to keep asking.
Gu Yulin is her brother. If she were to get someone to forge an invitation to her brother's banquet, people would think she was stirring up trouble.
So... let's keep it a secret if we can.
She and Lu Jingxiao had no relationship, and there was no need for her to tell him everything.
"you...."
Ding-dong—
Luo Zhiwei's phone rang; it was a WeChat message.
Lu Jingxiao's face darkened when she checked the information.
When she heard which random man had sent the message, Weiwei's expression softened, and she became noticeably gentler.
Is this reasonable?
Which vixen!
“Mr. Lu, you don’t need to ask for leave.” Luo Zhiwei immediately changed her mind: “I’ll go downstairs and buy you a cup of coffee.”
Brother Gu said he was going to discuss a collaboration nearby and would like to bring her the invitation letter.
Then she won't need to ask for leave.
You can get the invitation while you're downstairs buying a cup of coffee.
Lu Jingxiao's expression softened for only a moment. If Weiwei didn't ask for leave, didn't that mean that even if Weiwei didn't go out, that wild man would still come over?
Before he could even speak, Luo Zhiwei had already left the office, turning away with a nonchalant air, completely disregarding whether he wanted to or not.
Lu Jingxiao muttered a curse under his breath: "national essence."
snort!
Don't let me catch you, or else... heh heh.
I'll tear that wild man apart.
When he casually walked out of the office, he discovered that Luo Zhiwei's workstation was completely empty!
Lu Jingxiao immediately sounded the alarm.
Where is Luo Zhiwei?
Wei Mingfeng, who was closest to him, exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly explained, "Didn't Secretary Luo go to buy coffee for you, President?"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Does he need Luo Zhiwei to buy coffee herself?
He only drinks the drinks she makes herself, okay?
Which coffee shop?
Wei Mingfeng thought about it seriously for a moment: "President, there is only one Left Bank Coffee downstairs in the company, or Starbucks. Forgive me for being blunt, but Secretary Luo will not buy Starbucks for you."
There's only one option left, and that's... Left Bank Coffee.
For no other reason than that, Left Bank coffee does taste better than other coffees. The coffee beans are expensive, and the coffee machines are top-notch, so much so that a cup of coffee costs 200 yuan.
To be honest, even though he earns a lot of money, he still can't bear to spend 200 yuan on a cup of coffee every day.
However, the Lu family's building alone has several thousand employees, plus the three Lu family office buildings next door. The Lu family's employees could support a coffee shop.
After getting the answer he wanted, Lu Jingxiao strode away.
Wei Mingfeng and A Zi hesitated whether to follow. The president's demeanor didn't seem like he was going to find Secretary Luo, but rather like he was going to catch them in the act.
No, no, he has to go and see.
This is a chance to watch a good show.
**
At the Left Bank Cafe, Luo Zhiwei waited for about ten minutes before Gu Beixiao appeared, followed by an assistant. It was clear that he had work to do.
But he was still willing to take the time to send Luo Zhiwei an invitation.
Upon seeing Gu Beixiao, Luo Zhiwei stood up and greeted him politely, "Brother Gu, thank you so much for making this trip."
Gu Beixiao gestured for Luo Zhiwei to sit down and then sat down opposite her.
He was very efficient in his actions, and without any hesitation, he directly produced the invitation: "I happen to have a client who is going abroad for business in the next couple of days and won't be able to attend the banquet, so I asked for the invitation. You..."
Gu Beixiao knew that Luo Zhiwei had been being manipulated by Zhao Tingguo. He and Gu Youran wanted to help, but... even the most clear-headed person can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, let alone someone who wants to die.
All he and Gu Youran could do was watch over her and keep her from dying; they wouldn't ask for anything else.
He was quite surprised when Gu Youran called him yesterday. Although he didn't know what Luo Zhiwei wanted the invitation for, since she had asked, he decided to lend a hand.
"Thank you." Luo Zhiwei held the invitation, still somewhat emotional. "If I give the invitation to Zhao Tingguo, I won't be under his control anymore, I..."
“Brother Gu, I want to live a different life. I don’t want to... wait to die in that house.”
Gu Beixiao's face showed a relieved expression. His lips curved slightly and his eyes softened a bit: "You Ran and I will support you. The house you are living in now was bought by You Ran. You can live here in peace. No one will bother you."
"I know, I really don't know how to thank you and Ranran."
"Live well and take back everything that belongs to you; that will be your way of repaying us."
Gu Beixiao's eyes were very serious.
He knew that Luo Zhiwei had been manipulated before. She lost her mother and the person she loved, and she was tormented for a year... She didn't have the courage to live.
But she didn't die before because Zhao Tingguo wouldn't allow her to die.
She died, and the shares of the Luo family did not fall into Zhao Tingguo's hands, so... she lived a life worse than death.
Luo Zhiwei's statement that she wants to change her way of life is a pleasant surprise for him.
Gu Beixiao slowly said, "Weiwei, I've said before that if you need me, I can marry you anytime and help you get the shares that belong to you, everything that's yours."
He's mentioned this twice before, and this is the third time.
He has no plans to get married in this life, so it doesn't matter who he marries. As for Luo Zhiwei, he just wants to help her get her shares back.
“Brother Gu, the Luo family is my business. I can’t let you sacrifice your happiness to marry me. That’s not fair to you.”
She has already hurt many people; she cannot drag others down with her.
What's more, it involves sacrificing a man's happiness. Although she knows they won't have a real relationship, getting a marriage certificate without love is a contempt for marriage.
Even if we take a step back and say that the word "second marriage" is never a pleasant one, whether it's applied to a woman or a man.
"Okay, it's up to you to decide." Gu Beixiao repeated, "If you don't have a suitable partner, you can consider me. Anyway, it's only a one-year marriage, which I can accept."
As soon as Gu Beixiao finished speaking, a chilling male voice questioned him from behind.
If it weren't broad daylight, I would really be scared.
"What?! A one-year marriage?!"
Luo Zhiwei felt like she'd been caught doing something wrong. She jumped up, not forgetting to hide the invitation in her hand.
"Mr. Lu, I just came down to buy you some coffee..."
Lu Jingxiao simply couldn't believe it. Even though he had only been back in the country for a short time, he still recognized the person in front of him.
Gu Beixiao.
That red Ferrari belongs to him.
