18:00.
PARKING LOT.
Lu Ruxue frowned slightly, her expression cold, and she swiftly arrived at the parking lot, finding her designated parking space.
It was rare for her not to work overtime; otherwise, she would usually finish get off work at least at 7 p.m.
The normal closing time for the Lu Group is 5:30.
She only worked an extra half hour today because she was taking Zhuang Wen home to meet her parents.
Of course, this is only during her overtime work in the office; she still has to work late into the night when she gets home.
She had just spoken to Zhuang Wen on the phone and learned that he had arrived at the parking lot.
Sure enough, she saw Zhuang Wen lounging around next to her luxury car.
A barely perceptible smile flickered across her beautiful eyes.
Click! Click! Click!
Her high heels made a crisp, pleasant sound as they clicked on the ground, also conveying a ruthless and decisive air.
Zhuang Wen also looked up immediately.
Lu Ruxue walked over with her hair tied up, wearing a white women's suit. Her beautiful legs, encased in black S-cup leather, were straight, long, and perfectly proportioned.
A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.
Even in the dimly lit underground parking lot, Lu Ruxue's fair and delicate skin and beautiful face could not be concealed.
"Get in the car."
Lu Ruxue came to the car and beckoned Zhuang Wen to get in.
"Um."
Zhuang Wen bent down, picked up the gifts he had bought from the supermarket, and went to the other side of the car.
Lu Ruxue raised her eyebrows slightly, a clear smile flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Because, at that moment, she discovered that Zhuang Wen had actually bought some gifts.
It must be said that Zhuang Wen's considerations were quite thorough.
She was especially pleased when she saw what Zhuang Wen was carrying.
She couldn't help but nod in approval of Zhuang Wen's details.
"No wonder Zhuang Wen called me this afternoon to ask about my family; it turns out he had this idea in mind."
She looked at the tea, cosmetics and other gifts Zhuang Wen was carrying, and her gaze became somewhat unfocused.
When Zhuang Wen saw Lu Ruxue staring blankly at the gift he was carrying, he mistakenly thought that Lu Ruxue was dissatisfied because the gift he bought was not high-end.
"Mr. Lu, do you think what I bought was too cheap?"
Zhuang Wen's tone turned cold.
Lu Ruxue snapped out of her daze and, seeing Zhuang Wen's cold gaze, broke out in a cold sweat. She realized that Zhuang Wen had misunderstood her again.
She almost had a sleepless night last night.
The reason was that before going to sleep, I suddenly thought of the scene where Zhuang Wen suddenly became angry.
As intelligent as she was, she immediately realized that her unintentional words and actions might have hurt Zhuang Wen's pride as a man.
Therefore, she had made up her mind to be careful to take care of Zhuang Wen's emotions today.
However, because he was touched by Zhuang Wen's small gestures, he hesitated, which led to another misunderstanding.
"I didn't..."
Lu Ruxue hurriedly tried to explain.
But Zhuang Wen interrupted him directly, saying, "These gifts cost me a month's salary. If President Lu is still not satisfied, you can give me a raise."
After hearing this, Lu Ruxue felt not only moved, but also a deep, indescribable sadness welled up inside her.
She and he were in a marriage of convenience, and he had no feelings for her.
Regarding accompanying her home to meet her parents, she thought Zhuang Wen would just give her a perfunctory response, only hoping to get through the night.
To her utter surprise, Zhuang Wen not only meticulously prepared gifts for each member of the family according to their individual preferences, but was also willing to spend a month's salary to buy these gifts.
How could this not move her?
This further solidified her initial resolve to marry Zhuang Wen by mutual agreement.
She is determined to achieve the goal she set at the very beginning!
"Okay, I'll give you a raise tomorrow."
Lu Ruxue wanted to smile, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't manage to curl her lips into a smile.
This made her face look somewhat strange.
Zhuang Wen was somewhat puzzled when he saw this.
What does President Lu's expression mean?
A half-smile?
A forced smile?
"Get in the car."
Lu Ruxue spoke again in a cool and aloof tone, and took the lead in opening the car door and getting into the car.
After putting the gift in the trunk, Zhuang Wen got into the expensive luxury car.
The luxury car sped out of the garage and gradually disappeared into the distance under the respectful gaze of the security guard at the gate.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive.
Zhuang Wen sat in the passenger seat, staring silently at the road ahead.
Lu Ruxue focused on driving, her slender waist and straight back making her chest curves quite magnificent, and also fully showing off her flat stomach without an ounce of excess fat.
It can be said that her perfect figure was on full display in the small space inside the car, making Zhuang Wen unable to take his eyes off her.
In addition, she doesn't really like to talk, especially about starting conversations.
The atmosphere inside the car was indeed somewhat awkward.
She thought for a moment, then said in a cool voice, "I heard from Zhang Yu that you didn't go to work this afternoon?"
Her intention was to say that Zhuang Wen must have spent a lot of time and effort to buy these gifts.
If Zhuang Wen replied that he had gone to buy these gifts in the afternoon, she would also like to take this opportunity to thank him.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhuang Wen simply said indifferently, "That's right, Mr. Lu is going to deduct my salary?"
Lu Ruxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Why does Zhuang Wen's speech seem to be hiding ulterior motives?
Seeing Lu Ruxue frown, Zhuang Wen stopped speaking, causing the atmosphere in the car to turn cold and even freeze.
“Zhuang Wen, you’re a man, you should have a broad mind, you can’t be so petty.”
"Lu Ruxue has always been the epitome of aloofness, and she's also the CEO. You're just a lowly employee under her. She took the initiative to start a conversation, and you still snapped at her like that. That's not how you survive in the workplace!"
