Chapter 10 She's a joke
"Just finished."
Lin Rushuang spoke in a light tone.
Jiang Yuyan and Li Wenyuan stood side by side, and those who didn't know would think they were husband and wife.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Lin Rushuang timidly, and was at a loss for what to do to explain.
"Sister Rushuang, I'm sorry. I was about to finish writing the data, but A Yuan told me to go eat first. Sister Rushuang, you haven't eaten yet, so why don't you join us?"
Lin Rushuang curled the corner of her mouth and said, "What a we!" It sounded like a warm and simple invitation.
Li Wenyuan noticed that Lin Rushuang looked a little unhappy, so he went over to hold her shoulders and comfort her.
"She just came back from abroad and isn't very familiar with the place. She just happened to have a reservation at your favorite Zuixianlou. Let's go together."
If she hadn't seen through his true face long ago, she would have been moved by his good intentions.
She raised her head, her cold, bright eyes fixed on the face of the man she had loved for seven years.
"Really? But unfortunately, I have to go to discuss cooperation with my partners at noon. You should take Miss Jiang with you.
She didn't want to see these two people doing something in private and insulting the delicious dishes of Zuixianlou.
Li Wenyuan held her hand, frowned, and said with concern.
"There's always work to do. Your health is important, so don't work too hard, okay?"
Lin Rushuang smiled with a forced smile and calmly pulled her hand out of his palm.
"As long as Miss Jiang can improve her work efficiency a little and take her work attitude seriously, I should be able to reduce my workload."
Jiang Yuyan stood aside with an ugly look on her face.
After saying that, she raised her wrist to check her watch and walked away.
After leaving the company, she took a deep breath. She was so stuffy inside that she could hardly breathe, especially because of the smell of perfume on Jiang Yuyan.
She just found a place nearby to deal with it.
In the middle of the journey, Li Wenyuan sent a message.
[Chen Ci returned from abroad a few days ago. There's a party tonight. Please come with me.]
Lin Rushuang actually doesn't like attending such gatherings, but considering Li Wenyuan's face, she still goes there every time.
She could see that those young men were hindering her presence and couldn't let go, so they were playing some boring games.
She didn't want to disturb their fun, but Shen Ci was usually nice to her, so she agreed.
【good. 】
It was almost time to get off work in the evening, but Jiang Yuyan still hadn't given her the data, and she didn't push for it. As long as she could find a way around He Tingchen on this project, everything Jiang Yuyan was doing now would be overturned.
She had just finished cleaning up when Yang Xin came over with documents for her to sign. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled a pungent odor and she couldn't help but frown and cough.
"Rushuang, you don't want to stay here forever, do you? It's not good for your health. I see you've been coughing all day."
"It's okay. I'll be out running projects starting tomorrow and won't be in the office much."
Yang Xin pouted with an unhappy look on her face: "Look at Jiang Yuyan, have you finished the data you asked her to do? She's already putting on makeup. If you didn't know, you'd think she was going on a date tonight."
"I really can't stand her pretentious attitude. When President Li comes, she acts like she's working seriously. When President Li leaves, she's either eating snacks or drinking coffee."
Lin Rushuang was not surprised. With Li Wenyuan supporting her, no one would dare to say anything even if she just sat there with her legs crossed all day long.
She picked up the pen and signed it neatly.
"Just do our job well."
Yang Xin curled her lips. She didn't expect Lin Rushang to be so calm. If it were someone else, they would have been furious.

Li Wenyuan was waiting for Lin Rushang at the company gate early. As soon as she opened the car door, she saw red roses.
"Do you like it?"
Lin Rushang saw the gorgeous rose and reached out to hug it. She accidentally caught a glimpse of a barely noticeable pink on his white shirt and her breathing paused slightly.
Her voice was even: "I like it."
Li Wenyuan drove towards the party place, his bony fingers controlling the steering wheel while his other hand gestured to her.
"It's still early days for the Oasis project. Jiang Yuyan's working style abroad is different, so she might still be adapting. Don't be too strict with her."
Lin Rushang laughed out loud when she heard this.
"Do you think it's rigorous to have her inspect the Oasis project and compile a statistical summary?"
Everyone knows that the first step in doing a project is to at least ensure that the data obtained from the investigation is correct. This has nothing to do with whether it follows the foreign working model.
Didn’t he realize that he was too partial to Jiang Yuyan?
Li Wenyuan could tell that Lin Rushang sounded unhappy, so he patiently explained to her.
"Rushuang, I don't mean anything else. I just think she's a newcomer too. When I see her, it's like seeing you when you first joined the company and knew nothing."
"At that time, I was also busy with the company's business and had no time to protect you. I made you suffer a lot of contempt, and I always feel regretful."
Lin Rushang felt that after she left, she must give Li Wenyuan a Best Actor Award, a gold medal.
She didn't continue the discussion on this topic. If a man wants to be nice to another woman, he can find thousands of excuses for you.
"arrive."
Lin Rushuang didn't want to go in with the flowers, but she thought it would be an eyesore if she took them back, so she decided to just carry them in and give them to the waiter inside when she left.
As soon as Li Wenyuan got out of the car, he came over and put his arm around Lin Rushang's shoulders. Lin Rushang smelled Jiang Yuyan's perfume on him and frowned.
She subconsciously wanted to dodge.
Li Wenyuan felt her struggle and lowered his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's keep a low profile."
Li Wenyuan bent down and kissed her cheek.
"Just to let them see with their own eyes how much we love each other."
Lin Rushang couldn't find a reason, so she could only let him hold her and walk into the box.
As soon as the two of them entered, the people inside started to make a fuss.
"Hey, let's see who's here with his little wife. It turns out to be our Boss Li. You said he used to be aloof from women, but how come he's now henpecked?"
"That's right. We've asked you out for drinks so many times before, and every time you said you wanted to stay home with your sister-in-law."
“If Shen Ci hadn’t come back today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to invite him out again.”
"Ayuan has been married to my sister-in-law for so many years, and he's still so romantic, even buying flowers."
Li Wenyuan hugged Lin Rushuang and walked in, teasing a few people.
"Go away, make room for our little princess. Do you think everyone is happy like you guys, with wives taking care of them? What do you single dogs know?"
Everyone started teasing again.
"Oh, okay, okay, you're lucky, you have a wife."
Li Wenyuan pushed the plate on the table in front of Lin Rushuang. It was the tangerines she liked to eat. Every time, Li Wenyuan would peel them, remove the skin and even the strings, and then put them to her mouth.
This time is no exception.
"Come and try it to see if it's delicious. I specially had it shipped back from out of town. It shouldn't be sour."
He brought the peeled tangerine to her lips. Lin Rushang opened her mouth stiffly and ate it. The tangerine was sweet, but it tasted bitter in her mouth.
She reluctantly agreed, "It's delicious."
Li Wenyuan took good care of her. Like any other party, he never participated in their drinking games. He stayed with her the whole time and paid attention to whether she had any needs.
But this time, Lin Rushuang felt uncomfortable all over, especially because of what those people said, which made her feel not only unhappy, but also like a joke.
She hadn't had much rest these days and her head was aching slightly. After sitting for a while, she said to Li Wenyuan.
"You guys go play, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going back to rest first."
