Lu Jingheng found himself inexplicably nervous after asking the question, fearing that she might say yes.
No matter how many negotiations he conducted in the business world, or how many formidable opponents he faced, he never felt nervous.
Now, he's actually a little nervous because of a single sentence.
Otherwise, why would she dress up so beautifully to attend Mingyu's birthday party?
Xu Rubao was afraid he would misunderstand, so she immediately shook her head, "No, I don't like him. It's just that Xu Ziqing really wanted to come, so I came with her."
That's true; otherwise, she wouldn't want to be tortured wearing those ill-fitting high heels.
Hearing her say that, Lu Jingheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go."
Since she didn't really want to come, there was no need for her to stay. Anyway, she had already met Mingyu, and with so many people celebrating his birthday with him, it wouldn't matter if she was missing.
Xu Rubao hesitated for a moment, "Is it okay to just leave like this? Should I go in and tell Lu Mingyu?"
"Need not……"
"oh……"
Since Xu Rubao heard him say that, Lu Mingyu probably wouldn't have any objections.
She bent down to pick up the shoes, but Lu Jingheng grabbed her arm. "What are you trying to do?"
“Pick up the shoes? These aren’t my shoes, they belong to Xu Ziqing.”
Lu Jingheng got angry as soon as he saw those shoes; both of her feet were already bleeding from being rubbed raw.
He kicked one of the shoes directly into the flower bushes, saying, "Throw it away, why bother picking it up? Let's go."
Xu Rubao had never seen such a domineering person before. It wasn't like he was being asked to pick it up, so why was he making that face?
Seeing his displeased expression, she was certain that if she went into the flowerbed to look for her shoes now, he would never forgive her.
She had no choice but to lift her skirt and chase after him, wearing those slightly oversized flat shoes.
Once outside, Xu Rubao remembered something very important. "Mr. Lu, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing her voice, Lu Jingheng paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at her.
"Wait a moment, I have something for you."
Xu Rubao walked to the Xu family's car. The driver was still in the car, waiting to pick them up.
"Uncle Liu, could you please open the trunk? I need to get something."
"Okay, miss, please wait a moment."
Uncle Liu is one of Master Xu's men, so naturally he also respects Miss Ru Bao very much.
Xu Rubao took a wooden box out of the trunk. "Uncle Liu, please tell Ziqing that I'm leaving first. You can pick her up and go home later."
"OK."
Lu Jingheng saw her holding a wooden box and walked over. "What's this?"
"This is a gift from Grandpa to thank you for taking care of me in the hospital last time. It's top-quality ginseng and lingzhi, a gift to help you recover."
Lu Jingheng opened it, glanced at it, and nodded slightly. "Please thank your grandfather for me."
"Yes, I know."
Xu Rubao remembered something important and became a little nervous, "Grandpa doesn't know about our agreement yet, can you please not let him know?"
This is the Lu family residence, so Xu Rubao didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of being overheard.
Lu Jingheng raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly. "Let's see how you perform?"
"Watch my performance? What performance? Did I perform poorly?"
She felt she had behaved quite well; how could she dare to disobey him?
Just then, someone appeared behind them without them noticing. When Xu Rubao finally saw them, she was startled. Had no one heard what she said earlier?
