Chapter 94: Attentiveness
The midnight moonlight shone into the study through the gauze curtains, casting a grayish-white light on the smooth floor.
The man's hazy figure sat at the desk. His expression could not be seen clearly, only the vague outline of his body could be seen.
The clock on the wall struck two in the morning, but the man showed no sign of sleep.
His mind was filled with the woman's tearful face, pointing at him brokenly and stubbornly, saying, "Lu Xiyan, you will regret bullying me like this!"
"Oh!"
He chuckled. Was he bullying her?
He should be the one being bullied.
He opened the drawer and pulled out a thick foreign language book from the inner layer.
The slender fingertips turned the pages of the book and skillfully opened a page, which contained a heart-shaped object. Upon closer inspection, it was a folded five-yuan banknote.
In the darkness, the man's deep eyes were filled with complex emotions.
When they first met six years ago, he gave her a chocolate and she gave him five dollars.
For six years, he folded the five-yuan note into a small heart shape and hid it in the book he often read.
He once unilaterally regarded the five-dollar bill as a token of their love.
Seeing it now, I just find it ridiculous and ironic.
The happiness he had flaunted at the time was like a slap in the face, slapping him over and over again.
The heart-shaped banknote in the palm of his hand was suddenly clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
......
The next morning.
A black luxury car stopped at the door of the first floor of Oteng Group. The door opened, black thin-soled leather shoes fell to the ground, and a man in a suit and tie came out of the car.
"Mr. Lu."
Jiang Yao greeted him at the door and immediately reported, "All participants for today's weekly meeting have arrived."
The man hummed and walked into the lobby.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
The staff in the lobby stood in two rows and immediately bowed when they saw the man come in.
Lu Xiyan nodded slightly and strode towards the elevator.
At that moment, an inopportune voice suddenly appeared——
"Mr. Lu!"
Lu Xiyan frowned slightly, paused, and when he turned to look, his deep eyes were as cold as ever, but also had a hint of doubt.
Jiang Yao looked over upon hearing the voice, his eyes widening in surprise, "Miss An?!"
"Mr. Lu, good morning!"
An Ning changed her previous habit of waiting patiently. This time, she took the initiative and waited in the lobby before he arrived at the company.
Ignoring everyone's puzzled and surprised looks, she walked quickly to Lu Xiyan with a smile, "Mr. Lu, I'm here to bring you coffee."
She held up the coffee in her hand. "No sugar, a spoonful of milk, that's your taste."
Lu Xiyan frowned and looked at her, only to see a smile on her fair face, as if what happened last night had never happened.
He glanced at the coffee in her hand. She brought him midnight snacks last night and coffee today. It was really only him who couldn't think of it. There was nothing An Ning couldn't do.
"Miss An changed her career to become a delivery girl?"
His eyes moved to her face, "I don't drink this flavor of coffee, it's unpalatable."
Lu Xiyan even thought about seeing disappointment in her eyes, but he didn't expect that—
"It's okay." An Ning held up three more cups of coffee in her left hand, her smile still lingering. "Here's one with sugar but no milk, another with sugar and milk, and another without sugar or milk. You can choose."
Lu Xiyan's eyes were distant as he looked at the four cups of coffee in her hands, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
He withdrew his gaze, did not answer, and did not look at her again.
He said, "Get ready for the meeting," and strode away.
Jiang Yao was still eating melons when he suddenly realized what was happening and immediately followed, "Yes, Mr. Lu."
The elevator door opened, and just as Lu Xiyan entered, a figure quickly rushed in.
"Mr. Lu." An Ning quickly entered his elevator and looked up at him with a smile. "If you don't want coffee, I have breakfast here."
"peaceful!"
Lu Xiyan called her name directly and looked at her coldly, "Have you had enough fun? Wasn't what I said last night clear enough?"
Jiang Yao, who was at the door, turned his eyes when he heard this.
last night?
What happened between Mr. Lu and Miss An last night?
Why is Miss An suddenly so attentive to Mr. Lu today?
"Mr. Lu made it very clear."
An Ning's eyes were slightly red, but the smile on her face did not fade. "But, I still want to bring you breakfast."
She raised the sandwich in her hand and said, "I bought one and made the other myself. Which one do you want?"
"An Ning." Lu Xiyan looked at the breakfast in her hand, his throat rolling for a moment, his eyes full of coldness, "You really refresh my understanding of you. To achieve your goal, you can do anything."
An Ning's eyes flickered, and the hand holding the breakfast trembled slightly.
"Jiang Yao!" His face was cold and his voice was low and cold. "You are fully responsible for being late for the meeting."
"ah?"
Jiang Yao was startled and quickly looked at An Ning, "Ms. An, please get out of the elevator."
An Ning didn't move, looking at Lu Xiyan stubbornly.
Lu Xiyan looked away and gave Jiang Yao a murderous look.
"Miss An, I'm sorry."
Jiang Yao closed his eyes and pulled An Ning out of the elevator.
Then the elevator door slowly closed.
An Ning had just stood firm when she saw the elevator rising slowly.
......
Lu Xiyan had a cold face, and the sense of oppression was too strong.
The air in the elevator was several degrees colder, and Jiang Yao didn't dare to breathe as he stood behind him.
The elevator went all the way up to the president's office on the top floor, and Jiang Yao felt a chill on the back of his neck.
As I got out of the elevator, the phone in the president's office rang.
Jiang Yao quickly picked up the phone, and the next second he said in surprise, "Miss An again?"
Hearing this, the man who was about to enter the office paused and turned to look at him.
Jiang Yao looked embarrassed, "Mr. Lu, Miss An wants to see you..."
Before the man could speak, he immediately added, "I know you don't want to see her, but Miss An said she has something she wants to return to you in person."
"What?"
"Miss An said it was a pen," Jiang Yao continued, "and Miss An also said she would return the item to you and not bother you anymore."
The man's eyes dimmed slightly, his hands in his pockets clenched into fists, and he strode into the office.
To see or not to see?
Jiang Yao was in a dilemma when an angry voice suddenly came from the office, "Let her in."
......
The morning sun shines in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Standing by the window, you can overlook the entire CBD.
An Ning stood by the window of the president's office and looked down. The pedestrians below were so small that they looked like black dots coming and going, like ants foraging for food.
Only then did she understand what Lu Xiyan meant when he said he regarded her as an ant.
An Ning was just one of the various people downstairs.
And Lu Xiyan is the high and mighty successor of the Lu family.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a door being pushed open behind me, followed by the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground getting closer and closer.
An Ning turned around and met Lu Xiyan's deep and bright eyes.
