Chapter 301 Carrying her back to the room
"Your name truly suits you! What a lovely name! We'll remember you, Miss Wen Ni!"
"Yes, thank you all. Regarding Godfather Iprilis, we may need your cooperation and assistance in the future." Wen Ni exuded an aura of authority, making the place her domain. "Because he is not only your enemy, but also my enemy!"
"In that case, of course, no problem. It would be our honor to work with Miss Wen Ni!"
This was Wen Ni's first meeting with them, but they had a surprisingly pleasant conversation.
With just a few words, he won their approval!
Lu Jinye sat quietly to the side, watching, occasionally interjecting a few words, but most of the time he just picked up a cup of tea and drank it, the smile on his lips never fading!
Every smile and frown of hers, the sparkle in her eyes, captivated and enchanted people.
"Alright, stop chatting and let's eat first."
When he felt they had talked enough, Lu Jinye finally spoke. He casually picked up a piece of grilled pork belly and naturally offered it to Wen Ni's lips.
Everyone secretly turned to look.
Wen Ni was chatting enthusiastically with everyone at that moment, so she didn't think much of it and opened her mouth to take it. The fragrant meaty aroma instantly filled her entire mouth!
"This is so delicious!"
"I'm glad you like it."
"Which restaurant did you hire the chef from? How about... I let them stay here while I recover, and I can pay double the price!" Wen Ni was still focused on the delicious food.
Lu Jinye picked up a tissue and wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth. "It's a food company under my Lu Group. Why would I need you to pay for it?"
"Your family even owns a food company?"
"The Lu Group's business interests are far-reaching, and this is not just something they talk about."
"Even though they're your subordinates, isn't coming here considered extra overtime? Besides, I can't just eat and stay here for free, so I'll pay their overtime wages. Don't worry about it!"
"Then it's your decision."
Lu Jinye tilted his head to look at her.
Unaware of anything amiss, she picked up another piece of meat.
Their nonchalant interaction made the onlookers sitting on both sides grin from ear to ear!
That's settled.
Miss Wen Ni praised the food, so Mr. Lu must open a food company all over the world!
"Hey, why aren't you all eating? This food is so delicious, it would be a waste not to eat it!" Wen Ni suddenly turned her head and looked at the group of people on both sides of the table who were holding chopsticks but hadn't moved them.
"Eat, eat! Everyone, pick up your chopsticks. We still have a ton of work to do after we finish eating!" The middle-aged man and Bei Tuo immediately urged.
"good."
Lunchtime ended amidst laughter and conversation.
After a short rest, they sat down around the table again to discuss other official business.
Aunt Chen also thoughtfully prepared afternoon tea.
"How long has it been since you had a meeting? Do you have so many things to deal with?" Wen Ni sat on the sofa next to her, idly swirling her glass.
“It’s rare for us to catch a glimpse of Mr. Lu. The entire group is enormous, and there’s a lot more to deal with than you can imagine.” Bei Tuo smiled and shook his head, sighing, “Even if we work overtime these past few days, we might not be able to finish handling it all!”
Wen Ni nodded.
She turned to look at Lu Jinye.
He was intently looking at the documents in his hands, and the yellowish-green bruises on his cheekbones were particularly noticeable on his handsome face.
It was an injury sustained in a car accident while fetching medicine for Song Yanfeng.
His injury hasn't healed yet, and all his work in the entertainment industry requires him to make public appearances, which he'll definitely have to turn down. Unfortunately, he's destined to be busy; these tedious official duties await him!
If it were her, she would be annoyed to death!
She rested her cheek on her hand, her gaze slowly taking in his handsome features.
She paid no attention to what they were saying, only thinking about how this man could be so handsome...
I can never get enough of looking at it.
As she looked at it, her eyelids started to droop.
I picked up my phone to reply to a few messages, and finally couldn't resist closing my eyes and falling asleep sitting up.
The clouds before nightfall, accompanied by the last rays of golden sunlight, shone down on her, warming her body. Her hand, which was supporting her cheek, trembled numbly. She pressed half her face against the back of the sofa, smacked her lips, and stubbornly refused to open her eyes, continuing to sleep!
Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen to help and saw Wen Ni's unrestrained sleeping posture. She couldn't help but mutter to herself with worry and was about to go over to her.
"Oh dear, Miss Wen Ni, why did you fall asleep sitting up? Be careful not to put your arm on something!"
"Mr. Lu, Miss Wen Ni is asleep."
Beituo whispered a reminder.
This finally made Lu Jinye, who was buried in piles of documents with a serious expression, look up.
Upon seeing Wen Ni, who was sprawled out asleep at some unknown time, he couldn't help but relax his brows and smile slightly. He then abandoned the group of people who were deep in thought and went straight to the sofa!
As he approached, his gaze inadvertently swept over the phone that Wen Ni had casually tossed on the coffee table. The screen was still lit up, fixed on the WeChat chat interface.
[Song Yanfeng: Boss, how's your injury? Is it serious?]
Wen Ni: It's alright, don't worry.
Song Yanfeng: Boss, I'm worried about you. Is there anyone taking care of you? How about I ask for leave from the team to go with you, and we can go back to the unit together after you've recovered?
Song Yanfeng: Boss? Why is there no sound?
Song Yanfeng: Boss, you don't need to worry about me delaying the team's affairs. Your affairs are always more important to me than anything else!
Song Yanfeng: Boss, why aren't you replying to my messages? Did you faint from the pain?
As he read through the messages, Lu Jinye's expression grew increasingly cold and somber.
My phone rang silently; it was Song Yanfeng calling again!
Slide your finger toward the answer button.
Song Yanfeng's anxious voice came through the phone.
"Boss, you finally answered the phone! If you hadn't, I was going to climb over the wall and come find you!"
"Hello?? Hello!? Boss, why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling unwell? You..."
“Wen Ni is asleep.” Lu Jinye suddenly spoke, looking down at Wen Ni sleeping soundly on the sofa. “She’s right next to me, don’t disturb her.”
"Who? Lu Jinye!? It's you again!" Song Yanfeng's tone exploded, but considering that Lu Jinye had found him the medicine a few days ago, he barely managed to suppress his temper. "Why are you everywhere? Are you some kind of clingy pest? Always sticking to our boss! No... our boss is sleeping, what are you doing next to her! Get out of here right now! Stay away from our boss! If you dare to do anything to our boss! Our Shadow Hunter Squad won't let you get away with it..."
He didn't even finish his sentence.
Lu Jinye had already hung up the phone.
He regained his composure, bent down and picked up Wen Ni, then turned to Aunt Chen standing to the side and said, "I'll take her back to her room. Aunt Chen, please tell the kitchen to prepare some more food. We'll be busy until very late today."
“Okay, I understand, Mr. Lu!” Aunt Chen replied in a low voice.
Everyone at the conference table turned to look, their eyes filled with knowing and goodwill, as they watched Lu Jinye carry Wen Ni upstairs!
"It's so good to be young!"
"Stop looking, everyone, let's continue discussing this project we were just talking about..."
Everyone looked away and got back to work.
Second floor bedroom
Wen Ni was gently placed on the soft bed by Lu Jinye.
He carefully covered her with the blanket and tucked her injured arm outside the blanket.
His gaze lingered on her peaceful sleeping face.
Instead of leaving, he sat down by her bedside, gently taking her other hand in his.
He leaned down little by little, his warm breath brushing against her nose and lips...
