Putting on a smile, Qi Nuan bowed and said, "Yes, I will remember this and I will never do it again next time. Your Majesty, will you please spare me?"
The playful act of begging for mercy pleased Lu Yin. He let go and nodded his chin slightly: "Don't run around anymore. I'll check on you later."
Sticking out her tongue, Qi Nuan quickly squeezed in beside him.
In the eyes of Lu Heng who was watching from the side, the interaction between the two people looked like flirting.
He didn't give up and invited Qi Nuan again before she disappeared: "Qi Nuan, are you free after get off work? Just a moment, let's chat."
Qi Nuan rolled her eyes at the air, but she had no choice but to continue working as an employee of Lu Group.
Turning back, she smiled politely yet distantly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I've been too busy recently. Let's talk later when we have time."
After saying that, without giving the other party any chance, Qi Nuan quickly walked into the company corridor.
The door slammed shut behind her. She didn't want to care what the two men, both surnamed Lu, said.
Ten minutes later, Boss Lu Yin showed up at the Yu Ran Times workplace as scheduled to conduct a mobilization ceremony for the employees. As usual, he won the hearts of a number of female employees with his cool and aloof look.
Except Qi Nuan.
To be exact, she was glared at several times by Zhao, the special assistant with a dark face behind Lu Yin.
She was so busy reflecting on how she had offended this person that she didn't even take a good look at Boss Lu's face.
Because Sister Ying protected Qi Meng.
Qi Nuan prepared herself mentally, ignored his hostility, and smiled back.
She couldn't tell how darker Special Assistant Zhao's face was, but the look he gave her back was truly cold.
She lowered her head to avoid him, and when she looked up again, she saw Lu Yin fiddling with his phone.
Then, the phone vibrated.
She looked down and saw another message from Lu Damao: Go home on time in the evening and don't wander around.
The child is being held in his home, and his sister is being sent to his ally. Where can she go?
Feeling sad, Qi Nuan curled his lips. With so many beauties surrounding him, she wouldn't make a difference.
She turned and quietly returned to the office.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Probably the biggest benefit that group celebrations bring to workers is that they don’t have to work overtime.
In the afternoon, Qi Nuan called her sister and told her about Zhao Ying's proposal to invite her to teach piano to children, but she did not mention the secret key to the Gu family's will.
Qi Meng was simple-minded. She thought that since she couldn't go out casually, it didn't matter where she went. It would definitely be more fun to be with other children than with her strict grandmother.
She immediately agreed and waited for the Pei family's car to pick her up.
Now Li Qi Nuan doesn't have to worry about her nephew, because he has a housekeeper and a nanny who are used to taking care of people and are more reliable than her.
Lu Yin only asked her not to wander around, but he didn't say that she was not allowed to walk slowly.
When she drove home slowly, listening to music to relax her mood, Qi Zhangkai was correcting his pronunciation under the supervision of his "uncle".
Qi Nuan went over, touched the child's head, and forced a smile.
After dinner, as usual, the nanny took Qi Zhangkai to bed early.
Lu Yin glanced at Qi Nuan and said, "Come with me to the study."
With the door closed and them sitting face to face, he asked directly, "What happened?"
Qi Nuan was still dealing with the emotional aftermath, but she knew she couldn't talk to this contract husband.
She shook her head, not wanting to lift her eyelids: "No."
Lu Yin couldn't see her expression, but he could feel her loss.
He looked above her head and endured it. "If there's nothing wrong, don't be so emotional in front of the children, especially Qi Zhangkai. Maybe Shu Tong has had too much of a negative impact on him. Even though he's a child, he's very sensitive."
"Zhang Kai?" Qi Nuan finally raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yin.
"He was watching your expression just now, and he didn't pester you for a hug before going to bed. Didn't you notice?"
After hearing what he said, Qi Nuan realized that she had been immersed in her own emotions tonight and ignored her nephew's reaction.
She was a little speechless to herself, and subconsciously apologized: "I... I'm sorry."
"Don't say these two words to me."
Lu Yin's face looked unhappy, and his words left Qi Nuan speechless.
She closed her mouth and lowered her head to twirl her fingers.
After a few minutes of silence, Qi Nuan heard the man opposite her speak again: "Don't meet Lu Heng alone."
She glanced at him, looked away again, and replied, "Yeah."
Silence followed again.
Qi Nuan felt uncomfortable and stood up to go back to her room.
Lu Yin suddenly grabbed her arm, causing her to stop and turn around to look.
"He's married, has a wife and children. Even if you're suffering here, he won't see it."
As he spoke coldly, his hands clamped Qi Nuan's arm, causing it to hurt.
She thought it was ridiculous.
The misunderstanding could have been explained by a simple "I don't have it, I don't know how", but she suddenly didn't want to satisfy him.
"Whether I feel bad or not is my own business. Our marriage is nothing more than a price-tag exchange relationship. I haven't broken any contracts, so why are you so angry?"
Qi Nuan pulled her arm out of his hand and walked towards the door.
"Bang!"
The study door, which had just opened a crack, was suddenly slammed shut by Lu Yin who followed behind.
Qi Nuan was flipped over by him and pressed against the wall beside him. He saw the veins bulging on his fists hitting the wall beside him, and dark anger rolled out of his wide eyes.
She raised her chin and stared at him stubbornly, showing no sign of weakness: "Yes, I sold myself to you. You want to hit me?"
The stalemate lasted so long that Qi Nuan's eyes began to feel sore.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and his anger suddenly dissipated.
He pulled away: "Get out."
