Chapter 19 Chapter 19 You're Exposed
Chapter 19
Lu Zhenlin recalled that when he was playing basketball with an old friend last week, his old friend showed him a photo of his grandson. The little guy was so cute that he felt envious and jealous.
Think about it, Lu Peishi is about the same age as his old friend's daughter, but let alone a grandchild, he hasn't even seen the shadow of a girlfriend.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Ah Shi, career is important, but personal issues are also important."
Lu Peishi, who was still looking at his phone, didn't understand what he said for a moment.
"That's right..." Lu Zhenlin said bluntly, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"
Lu Peishi put away his phone and suppressed the smile on his face: "No."
Alas, as expected.
Lu Zhenlin sighed in his heart. Apart from clients, subordinates, and Luna and the others, there were no other girls around this guy.
Other families worry about their children's chaotic and indulgent love life, but his son is different. He is pure and simple and doesn't even have a romantic relationship. He has such a handsome face for nothing.
Lu Zhenlin asked tentatively, "Are there no outstanding girls around you?"
"No." Lu Peishi calmly picked up a piece of broccoli.
Lu Zhenlin originally wanted to carefully suggest that he have a meal with his old friend's daughter when he is free.
Just as he was thinking about how to start, Lu Yanli suddenly whispered, "Yes, Sister Ruan Yan is very good!"
Lu Peishi: “…”
I pretended not to hear and continued eating broccoli.
"Ruan... Yan," Lu Zhenlin repeated the unfamiliar name and asked Lu Yanli, "Who is this Ruan Yan?"
Lu Peishi answered first: "One of my subordinates."
"A beautiful sister who is a good person!"
Lu Yanli's voice rang out almost at the same time.
“…”
Lu Peishi glanced at the talkative child, and Lu Yanli quickly buried his head in his meal.
Lu Zhenlin's gaze swept between his two sons, and he seemed to understand something, with a smile in his eyes.
Lu Peishi's subordinate, a kind-hearted and beautiful sister...
This amount of information made the old father very happy.
He glanced at Lu Peishi who was eating as if nothing had happened.
It's probably still in progress, so this guy is too shy to say anything yet.
Knowing that such a person existed, Lu Zhenlin felt relieved. He knew that his son would definitely not say much at this time, so he also tactfully shut up.
After dinner, Lu Peishi went back.
Lu Zhenlin caught Lu Yanli who was about to go back to the study to play games.
"Xiao Li, that beautiful sister you just mentioned, is she from your brother's company?"
“It seems so.”
Lu Zhenlin asked again: "What's that sister's personality like?"
Lu Yanli bit into the ice cream and said, "It's very good. Sister Ruan Yan is very gentle and treats me very well. She always brings delicious food when she comes. She also often takes us to plant various flowers in the yard..."
Lu Zhenlin quickly grasped the key words in his words: "You said she often goes to your brother's house?"
"Yes." Lu Yanli nodded.
"They've developed to this point!" Lu Zhenlin was ecstatic. "It looks like you'll have a sister-in-law soon! I'll be able to hold my little grandson soon too!"
Lu Yanli knew that he must have misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained: "Dad, what are you talking about? They are not that kind of relationship..."
"What do you know, kid? She often comes in and out of your brother's house, so how can it not be that kind of relationship?"
"That's because, because..." Lu Yanli originally wanted to explain that Ruan Yan actually took Xiao Wen with her, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words back.
"Why? Everyone says you're a little kid and don't understand." Lu Zhenlin was immersed in his own joy and couldn't hear anything.
It’s stable, it’s stable, this one is stable!
According to Lu Peishi's personality, he allowed Miss Ruan to come and go frequently at home, so the relationship between the two must be deeper than he imagined!
He sat happily on the sofa and began to imagine taking beautiful photos of his grandchildren in the near future and living a happy life that would make his old friends envious and jealous.

On Monday morning, Ruan Yan carried her suitcase and walked towards the gray Cayenne that had been waiting at the door of Ruan Mansion for a while.
After putting her luggage away, she quickly opened the passenger door and got in. She briefly greeted Lu Peishi in the back seat, and immediately started chatting with Special Assistant Zhao in the driver's seat next to her.
The whole process was relaxed, as if nothing had happened that night when the wrong message was sent.
While the car was driving, Ruan Yan secretly glanced at the mirror a few times. Lu Peishi was browsing something on the computer, tapping the keyboard from time to time. He seemed very focused and didn't even look at her.
She breathed a sigh of relief. What she needed most at this moment was for him to treat her as air. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed that she wanted to die when she thought of what happened that night.
Fortunately, Lu Peishi was looking at the computer all the way, so Ruan Yan temporarily kept the response lines she had prepared in her mind.
Her mood relaxed and she felt relaxed as well. She didn't sleep well last night and fell asleep unconsciously.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the airport.
Ruan Yan finally woke up after Special Assistant Zhao called out to her several times.
He jokingly asked, "Are you too excited about your first business trip so you can't sleep at night?"
Ruan Yan smiled awkwardly.
She couldn't sleep because she didn't want to go on a business trip and didn't want to face her boss, okay?
Special Assistant Zhao got out of the car to get his luggage. Ruan Yan was about to get out as well when she heard a cold voice from the back seat: "What's up? Didn't taking a cold shower last night help?"
“…”
Ruan Yan paused as she was pressing on the car door, but she still couldn't escape.
She could only pretend to be stupid: "Mr. Lu, you are really a joker, hahaha."
The plane ticket was booked by Ruan Yan. She booked an economy class ticket for herself. Lu Peishi was a little surprised. He originally thought that this young lady would deliberately cheat and book a business class ticket for herself like him.
An hour and a half later, the plane arrived in City A, but their destination had not yet been reached.
After leaving the airport, they immediately took a taxi and then took the high-speed train.
As soon as I walked out of the station, I was surrounded by a group of people.
"Where are you going, boss?"
"Take a ride? Get on and go."
"How many people are there? Come with us."
Lu Peishi, wearing sunglasses, had a sullen face all the way, but he still had some grace to protect Ruan Yan behind him, blocking waves of messy and aggressive solicitations for her.
But Ruan Yan didn't look panicked at all. She calmly waved her hand as she walked, "No, no, we'll call a taxi ourselves."
After saying that, he turned to Lu Peishi and said, "Boss Lu, follow me closely. Don't get lost."
Lu Peishi: "...I have eyes, I won't get lost."
"Haha, Mr. Lu, you are so humorous."
"..." Does he look like he's joking?
There are still some drivers who are unwilling to give up and follow me all the way.
"How do you call a taxi? Do you use online taxi service?"
Ruan Yan lowered her head and operated her phone: "Yes."
"Don't bother, you can't yell." The other person grinned, revealing a mouthful of small yellow teeth.
"Why?" Ruan Yan didn't stop moving her hands.
He leaned over mysteriously and said, "Just trust me. All the people waiting here are drivers. No one will take your order on the platform."
Ruan Yan was skeptical and looked at the taxi app page, which kept displaying a waiting reminder.
"Are you a couple traveling here?" the man asked in a friendly way.
"No!" Ruan Yan immediately denied, "We are here..."
"We are brother and sister." Before Ruan Yan could explain anything, Lu Peishi beside her took off his sunglasses and said calmly, "We are indeed here for tourism."
Ruan Yan glanced at him, then followed his words and said, "Yes, it happens to be the off-season now, so food and accommodation are cheap."
"You've picked the right season! This is the best time to come," the man agreed, continuing to try to get closer to them. "I just brought a mother and daughter who came here from the north specifically for a trip. They said they wanted to see the sea here..."
The man spoke enthusiastically. Ruan Yan stared at the software page for a long time without any response. She raised her head and asked, "Have all of your drivers shut down the platform?"
After waiting for nearly five minutes, no car was matched.
"Ah, yes," the man paused, then continued, "Just trust me. Waiting any longer would only be a waste of time and energy."
Lu Peishi also saw the display on Ruan Yan's phone. He really didn't want to waste time, so he asked, "Where is your car?"
When Ruan Yan heard this, she immediately patted Lu Peishi calmly.
He didn't know that in this situation, the drivers who solicited taxis were most likely to overcharge people.
She had suffered a similar loss before and didn't want to be fooled again.
"Is it by meter? How much does it cost to get from here to Weilan B&B in Beiyao Village?" Ruan Yan asked with a smile, deliberately raising her voice.
When the people who were soliciting customers around heard this, they all gathered around again.
"Is it the Beiyao Village near the ancient city?"
"No meter, 50! Leaving right away!"
“45, 45!”
"Take my car, it's only 40 away!"
…
"It's so expensive. I saw the software estimated it to be 25, and it's only seven or eight kilometers." Ruan Yan shook her head and said.
"Beauty, you definitely won't be able to get a taxi with the price listed above."
"That's a bit too expensive—30 to go?"
"Oh beauty, no one wants to leave at this price, it's too low."
"30 is still too low. I'm paying 5 yuan more than the platform..."
Lu Peishi stood quietly behind, watching the man in front of him bargain with everyone calmly, fighting ten people at once, looking so at ease.
Others might not think there was anything wrong with this scene, but he had other thoughts.
Ruan Yan finally chose the big brother who had followed them all the way, and the big brother successfully won the business for 35 yuan.
The man gave her a thumbs up and said, "What a beautiful lady!"
Ruan Yan chuckled: "It's just so-so."
The man said the car was parked not far away and motioned for them to follow him.
While walking, Lu Peishi suddenly asked, "Have you often traveled to similar places before?"
"Hmm? No," Ruan Yan replied subconsciously, then realized something and pretended to be relaxed, "Maybe there was, but I don't remember."
Lu Peishi glanced at her and said nothing.
Ruan Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lu Peishi looked at the car in front of him as if nothing had happened. The trunk was already open. He put the luggage in it, then took the suitcase from Ruan Yan and put it in as well.
Ruan Yan said casually: "Ah, thank you, Mr. Lu."
After Lu Peishi put down his luggage, he chatted with her casually.
"You lost your memory, did you forget everything that happened before?"
He looked down at her, his tone and expression were relaxed, but he made her feel inexplicably oppressed.
"Yeah, I think I mentioned that before," Ruan Yan looked at him calmly, "Mr. Lu, why are you suddenly interested in my affairs?"
Lu Peishi supported the trunk with one hand, slowly leaning forward. His dark eyes were as deep as a bottomless pool, and he said word by word, "You've been exposed."
"Hmm?" For a moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she tried desperately to recall in her mind whether she had accidentally said anything wrong just now.
After a few seconds, he slowly put on his sunglasses again: "Didn't we say we were brother and sister?"
"..." Ruan Yanqiang calmed her heartbeat, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Oh... I accidentally forgot."
"Well," Lu Peishi walked forward, "Don't be careless anymore."
After staring at his back in a daze for a moment, the driver in front called out to her, and Ruan Yan followed him forward.
