Chapter 338 No Return



Lu Shen saw the video as soon as it went viral online.

Of course, it wasn't him who was so proactive. He was still angry; why would he actively pay attention to news about Jian Ruoxi?

It's all because of Ah Jie and his meddlesome friends! They rushed into his office in such a hurry that he thought something terrible had happened at the company.

The next second, he saw Ah Jie respectfully handing him his phone, saying, "Boss, would you like to take a look at this?"

He appeared unmoved but was actually completely bewildered when he took the hammer and saw Jian Ruoxi wielding it with incredible speed and power, smashing the game buttons in front of her with a series of rapid, fluid movements and a thunderous momentum. Coupled with her fierce, puffed-up expression, she was quite intimidating.

Lu Shen: "..."

Are Ah Jie and the others too idle? Should he consider finding them more things to do?

As for why Lu Shen is still rewatching this video, that's another story.

Why does Jian Ruoxi seem even angrier than him? And she's hitting him so hard.

Lu Shen strongly suspected that Jian Ruoxi was using those game buttons as a way to beat him up and vent her anger, and he had evidence.

Ah Jie couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw his boss's terrifying expression as he stared at his phone.

Boss, no matter how much you stare at it, the person won't jump out of the video.

"Cough cough."

Ah Jie coughed twice on purpose to clear his throat.

Upon hearing his voice, Lu Shen finally deigned to look up and give him a haughty, aloof gaze: "Speak."

"Boss, are you going back to the Lu family tonight?"

Ah-Jie asked cautiously, his posture obedient and his tone respectful, showing none of the boldness and rebelliousness he displayed when he barged in with his phone on his own initiative.

"I'm not going back!"

Lu Shen immediately frowned angrily, crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and said with an air of righteous indignation, "She's angry, but I'm angry too! I don't want to see her today, I'm not going back!"

"yes."

Ah Jie obediently nodded, but his rebellious heart was frantically criticizing his boss's childish and oblivious behavior.

Oh wow, boss, you're acting like a spoiled little kid right now.

Jian Ruoxi was woken up by Lu Jin the next day.

"Hahaha, Jian Ruoxi, you're so handsome... Oh dear, why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly!"

Early in the morning, Lu Jin barged into Jian Ruoxi's room, rushed to her bedside, and started pulling off her blankets.

Jian Ruoxi was dragged out of her sleep.

"Hey Lu Jin, stop making noise! ​​What time is it? Let me sleep a little longer!"

Jian Ruoxi let out a wail, clinging tightly to the blankets and refusing to let Lu Jin take away her comfortable bed.

"Oh dear, it's getting late! Get up quickly, sister!"

Lu Jin remained unmoved and intensified his efforts to snatch the blanket. After a lot of fuss, he finally managed to drag Jian Ruoxi out of bed.

After Jian Ruoxi finished washing up with a mournful expression and sat down opposite her, Lu Jin immediately began to excitedly chatter on and on: "Wow, Jian Ruoxi, you're so cool! I never knew you were so strong! I didn't expect you to look so thin and small, but you're so powerful. I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you yesterday! Hey, do you exercise often, like lifting weights or something..."

Jian Ruoxi had almost forgotten about the incident, but Lu Jin's tirade successfully reminded her of her "heroic feat" from yesterday.

Jian Ruoxi immediately covered her face in embarrassment and indignation: "Okay, Lu Jin, stop talking about it. I don't want to mention this anymore, thank you!"

Don't let her think about this again!

"Huh? Why?"

Lu Jin was a little puzzled, but seeing that Jian Ruoxi's ears were completely red, she tactfully changed the subject. "Okay, I won't talk about this anymore... By the way, my older brother didn't come back last night, do you know why?"

Hearing this question, Jian Ruoxi finally raised her head, looking somewhat surprised: "Lu Shen didn't come back last night?"

Only after asking the question did Jian Ruoxi realize what was going on.

By the way, she and Lu Shen had such a bad fight yesterday, she was so angry, how could Lu Shen not be upset? It's understandable that he didn't want to see her and didn't come back.

"Yeah... What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

Lu Jin keenly noticed that something was amiss.

"Hmm..." Jian Ruoxi's eyes darted around, clearly trying to brush the matter off.

Unfortunately, Lu Jin was a clever and perceptive person, and as a director, observation and association were her strengths. Thinking about recent events, Lu Jin quickly grasped the key point after some thought and reflection.

"Ah! I know! My older brother is definitely jealous!"

Lu Jin clapped his hands as if suddenly enlightened, and came to a very certain conclusion.

Jealous? Him?

Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but find it amusing. "Lu Jin, what are you talking about? Lu Shen would be jealous? Impossible. Have you forgotten why I returned to the Lu family?"

How could Lu Jin think that Lu Shen was jealous? How much genuine affection was left between them? They were clearly only together for mutual benefit.

"I came back only to help him deal with the trouble caused by Li Anran. We had already reached an agreement before: I would work with him to deal with Li Anran, and he would take the opportunity to find out who was behind Li Anran. It was just a cooperative relationship."

As Jian Ruoxi spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she subconsciously hugged a pillow to her chest, a faint sense of sadness enveloping her.

It was all just for the sake of cooperation. She knew that from the beginning and that was her plan. But why does she still feel disappointed and upset when she thinks about this fact?

Lu Jin pressed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

Is this what they call "the onlooker sees more of the game than the player"? Or was her older brother just being too subtle, so Jian Ruoxi didn't notice anything at all?

And Jian Ruoxi, are you really unable to see your own feelings, or have you been deceiving yourself all along? Even after all this, how can you still think that you're doing this for the sake of cooperation?

Lu Jin felt this wouldn't do. So she asked directly, "Jian Ruoxi, did you really return to the Lu family because of Li Anran?"

"……What do you mean?"

Jian Ruoxi's eyes suddenly darted away.

"I'm asking you, did you decide to return to the Lu family more because of Li Anran, or more because of my older brother?"

Lu Jin asked, enunciating each word clearly. Her demeanor and tone gave Jian Ruoxi the illusion that she was determined to give a definite answer.

But Jian Ruoxi simply can't give it to her right now.

Yes, she couldn't answer that question.

Lu Jin wasn't the first person to ask her this question; she was the second.

Even when asked a second time, Jian Ruoxi still couldn't give an answer.
