Chapter 20 Mature Daddy
"System, I want to draw..."
[Draw a card! You want to draw a card, right?] Haicha answered smartly.
"No." Sheng Baili said, "I want to slap Lu Zhouyan."
Haicha: "......" (afraid
Sheng Baili returned to the dormitory, went to the laundry room to retrieve Lu Zhouyan's pants, placed an order according to the buyer's address, and prepared to ship them.
What a coincidence, the buyer is also in City S, so the shipping fee is only 6 yuan.
Sheng Baili generously paid for the postage and sent the pants out.
I'm in a bad mood and really want to pet a cat.
【Poet: Are you there? Look at the cat.】
【1: No time. 】
【Poet: Then when are you free? 】
【1: When you are free, I am not free. 】
Sheng Baili: “….”
[The male protagonist has changed. He used to be very gentle.] Haicha said, [Why has he become so sharp-tongued now?]
Sheng Baili snorted coldly.
[This is his nature, Tong, you are still too naive.]
Lu Zhouyan was attending his cousin Lu Jiayu's birthday party at the old house.
Lu Jiayu is his uncle's child, who just graduated from college this year and has a good relationship with him. Lu Jiayu is smart, sweet-talking, and has a good relationship in the family. This birthday party was very lively.
Lu Zhouyan put away his phone. He felt refreshed after just talking to the secretary.
"Brother, you're here?" Lu Jiayu saw him coming and stepped forward to greet him, "This is a gift you bought for me, right? Thank you, brother. I'm sorry for the expense."
Lu Zhouyan handed over the gift bag in his hand and said "Happy Birthday".
Lu Jiayu held his brother's arm affectionately, talking nonstop: "I heard that you were engaged? I just came back from abroad, why didn't you inform me? Fortunately, I didn't miss your engagement party..."
"By the way, I applied for a position in our company not long ago. My mom said that your secretary resigned, and asked me to assist you and learn from you...but my resume was rejected. So, brother, which god did you finally hire to be your secretary? Why don't you give me another chance?" Lu Jiayu said half seriously and half jokingly.
"At this stage, you can go to the branch to exercise." Lu Zhouyan said.
"That means you think I'm not capable enough." Lu Jiayu exaggeratedly made a heartbroken expression, turned his eyes, saw a familiar figure, and said, "Brother, is that my sister-in-law?"
Hearing this name, Lu Zhouyan frowned slightly. Looking in the direction of Lu Jiayu's voice, Ji Susu was standing not far away.
When their eyes met, Ji Susu's face showed a happy expression.
"......" Lu Zhouyan quickly lowered his eyes.
"Not yet." Lu Zhouyan said, "Don't shout nonsense."
Lu Jiayu: "Oh, okay brother."
Ji Susu discovered the male protagonist's location and walked over excitedly, but she didn't see anyone. She asked Lu Jiayu in confusion: "Where is Brother Zhou Yan?"
"I'm going to play chess with grandpa." said Lu Jiayu.
Ji Susu, who was nowhere to be seen again: "......"
The male protagonist is a workaholic. Every day he is either at work in the company or in meetings somewhere else. She has no way to get close to him.
WeChat will only reply with "um", "oh" and "ah", phone calls will be rejected, and people cannot be seen at all.
After finally waiting for the hero to attend a birthday party, he went off to play chess with his grandfather. This time, how long will she have to wait?
This task is too difficult.
Ji Susu was a little overwhelmed.
However, in half a month, it will be her engagement party with the male protagonist. When she becomes his legitimate fiancée, she won't have to worry about finding time to spend with him, Ji Susu comforted herself.
Besides, she has no chance to conquer the male protagonist. Isn't it the same for the rookie Sheng Baili?
Thinking of this, Ji Susu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there is a poor student to provide support.
Sheng Baili, who was playing games, suddenly sneezed.
Who is thinking about her?
It must be her poor baby, Bao Bao.
Although she had no worries about food and drink with Lu Zhouyan, and Aunt Zhang took good care of the cat, Sheng Baili was still a little worried after not seeing the cat for such a long time.
She still needs to make money as soon as possible, live in a big house, and bring the cat back home QAQ.
It's all Lu Zhouyan's fault! He didn't even post a photo of the cat. She must be sick from thinking about the cat.
Lu Zhouyan, who was playing chess, suddenly sneezed twice.
"Ha Qiu!"
"Ha Qiu!"
Mr. Lu nags: "Zhou Yan, the weather is very hot, but don't wear too little and don't work too hard. Look, you have caught a cold. You must be weak after working so hard, right?"
"Butler, call the doctor over and prescribe some cold medicine for Zhou Yan." said the grandfather.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
Working didn't make him weak, but having a stupid secretary around him made him weak.
"Grandpa, that's okay." Lu Zhouyan called the housekeeper, "I'm fine."
It is normal for a young man to be unwilling to admit that he is weak. After all, he is not married yet. Grandpa nodded in understanding.
The two continued playing chess.
It was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that Lu Zhouyan made a wrong move and the outcome was revealed.
"Grandpa, I should go back." said Lu Zhouyan.
"Oh, go ahead." The old man looked at the chessboard with satisfaction, and looked at Lu Zhouyan with a very kind look, "Tell Jiayu and the others...Oh, by the way, Susu is here too, remember to chat with her." said the old man.
"Okay." Lu Zhouyan stood up and walked towards the hall.
The pocket in my pocket vibrated with a buzzing sound.
[Poet: Mr. Lu, do you have Aunt Zhang’s WeChat? I want to add her WeChat to see her cat. [Fresh flowers][Fresh flowers]]
【1: No. 】
【1: And Aunt Zhang is off work now. 】
【Poet: .......Oh. [fading][fading]】
"Brother Zhou Yan." Ji Susu accurately located the direction of the male protagonist and walked over with a clear goal.
"Are you busy lately?" she asked. "I can't even make an appointment with you."
"I'm very busy. I have to go on a business trip on Friday." Lu Zhouyan put away his phone.
"Where are you going?" Ji Susu asked.
Lu Zhouyan: "City C."
"Can I go with you?" Ji Susu said, "I won't bother you. Just pretend I don't exist and you don't have to go out with me, okay?"
Ji Susu has a soft voice, and when she tried to act coquettishly and please others, her voice became even softer.
"It's not very convenient." Lu Zhouyan said in a calm voice.
The car had already stopped at the door. Lu Jiayu spotted the iconic black car and knew that Lu Zhouyan was leaving, so she came over to talk.
"Brother, are you leaving?" he said.
"Yeah." It was late, and Lu Zhouyan didn't want to say meaningless words to Ji Susu anymore, so he said, "The cat at home is starving to death. I'll go back and feed it first."
"Okay brother, be careful on the road." Lu Jiayu waved and said goodbye.
Ji Susu: “…”
Is that the cat again?
What does Lu Zhouyan like about this cat? It is greedy, sleepy, and fierce.
I haven't heard the system say that the male protagonist is a cat slave.
Ji Susu was in chaos.
-
It was already 11:30 when Lu Zhouyan returned to Linwan Mansion.
As soon as the door opened, the kitten stood at the door and called to him softly.
Aunt Zhang will feed the cat at 5pm. The cat should not be too hungry at this time.
Lu Zhouyan changed into slippers, stood up and looked at the empty food bowl. After thinking for a while, he opened a cat snack.
"Meow~"
Bao Bao came over and licked it.
He ate too fast and accidentally licked Lu Zhouyan's fingertips. The man tutted, picked up the cat noodles, and stood up to wash his hands.
After returning to his seat, Lu Zhouyan was not in a hurry to continue feeding the cat. He used his mobile phone to open the employee backstage, pulled up Sheng Baili's employee photo, and then put the photo in front of the cat and asked the cat:
"Do you know this person?"
Bao Bao: “Meow meow meow!”
So excited? Lu Zhouyan found a photo of himself and showed it to the cat.
"What about me?" he asked.
Bao Bao: “Meow meow meow!”
Lu Zhouyan thought for a moment, pushed away the cat head that came over to eat cat noodles, and pulled up the photo of Assistant Chi from his mobile phone.
"Does the cat know this person?"
Bao Bao: “?”
Bao Bao glanced at him coldly without any reaction, and continued to rub against Lu Zhouyan's arm as if trying to eat cat noodles.
Lu Zhouyan pushed the cat away.
Didn't Assistant Chi respond? Lu Zhouyan raised one eyebrow.
I don't really understand cat psychology.
【1: Where?】
[Poet: I’m not here, please don’t bother me.] Sheng Baili replied coldly.
【1: Oh, okay. Then you don’t have to watch the cat. 】
Sheng Baili: “?”
【'Poet' withdrew a message. 】
[Poet: Hello, Mr. Lu, I am here. Is there anything I can do for you? I am your all-round secretary, at your service 24 hours a day.]
"......" Lu Zhouyan smiled.
【'1' started a video call. 】
Sheng Baili held the phone and waited for a reply. The moment he saw the video pop-up window, he pressed the call button.
Lu Zhouyan didn't expect her to order so quickly, and he didn't have time to turn the camera.
Then Sheng Baili saw in the camera that Lu Zhouyan was looking down at her death with his head down.
He must have just returned home and hadn't showered yet. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore during the day. However, he had taken off his black jacket and was now only wearing a clean white shirt. His Adam's apple was prominent. His shirt and tie were loosely tied, looking very casual, probably because Lu Zhouyan had pulled them casually.
The dim light shone behind him. The light was dim, but it showed the man's deep brow bones and high nose bridge. Lu Zhouyan's dark eyes looked at the mobile phone screen without any emotion. This kind of overlooking angle seemed to make his temperament more mature.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, the camera was turned.
Lu Zhouyan pointed his phone at the cat.
Bao Bao: “Meow?”
When Sheng Baili saw the cat he had been thinking about, his eyes lit up and he immediately called out to the cat in a soft voice.
I don't know if he was calling my name or calling my baby.
Lu Zhouyan raised his hand and casually tore off his tie, and did not appear in the video again.
"I'm going to take a shower and I'll end the call as soon as I come out," said Lu Zhouyan.
"Okay, Mr. Lu. Goodbye, Mr. Lu." Sheng Baili said, "You've worked hard. Please take a shower to wash away your fatigue. If necessary, you can take a bath."
Lu Zhouyan: “….”
Before leaving, Lu Zhou reached out and touched the cat's round belly, thought about it, and put the cat food away.
He walked towards the bathroom in his slippers.
The cat meowed in protest, but Lu Zhouyan ignored it.
Bao Bao was very angry. Bao Bao meowed unhappily and followed Lu Zhouyan to the bathroom.
Sheng Baili, who suddenly lost the cat in the camera: "?"
"You are not allowed to enter the bathroom. Get out." Lu Zhouyan's slightly reprimanding voice sounded vaguely from a distance.
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it scared the cat.
The cat returned to the camera with its head down and meowed at Sheng Baili.
Sheng Baili: “?”
You murdered my child?
"Don't be afraid, dear baby. Mommy is here with you. Mommy will buy you food. Don't be sad, Baobao baby..." Sheng Baili comforted the cat, "I know you have been wronged there. Mommy is working hard to earn money to buy a house. Wait for mommy. The wronged baby will temporarily live with the bad guy..."
Lu Zhouyan, who had just taken off his clothes and hadn't yet turned on the shower to take in everything, asked: "?"
