Chapter 906 It's Understandable That He Didn't Reply to the Message
She then shifted her position, no longer facing Lu Yuanqiu, and bent down, continuing to eat the peanuts on the table one by one quickly with her right hand, her expression suggesting she was sulking.
It's a clear attempt to avoid the topic.
Seeing her embarrassment, Lu Yuanqiu decided not to ask any further questions and poured himself a glass of wine. But after a while, Wei Zhiyu took the initiative to speak, but it was a question she asked in return: "Then let me ask you, why do you like Bai Qingxia?"
Lu Yuanqiu laughed after listening: "Our situations might be a little different. I was liked by Bai Qingxia first, and then..."
"And then what?"
Lu Yuanqiu looked at her, his gaze slowly falling on the table, and thoughtfully answered, "Then this time I had the opportunity to notice how good she was to me, to notice the things she did for me within her means, her carefulness, and everything about her besides her face—things I had previously overlooked..."
"Back in high school, when I wasn't familiar with her, my stereotype of her was that she was aloof, unapproachable, and a cold-faced school beauty. I should have looked at her more often in class back then; maybe I would have noticed sooner that she was looking at me too..."
Lu Yuanqiu laughed and suddenly felt a little drunk, as if the ground was closer to him.
"She's aloof???" Wei Zhiyu didn't think about what he meant by "this time there's an opportunity," and only listened to something else, explaining, "She's just socially awkward."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Her situation at the time was very complicated."
Wei Zhiyu: "Tsk tsk, so pure love. I thought you were just lusting after her beauty."
Lu Yuanqiu finished his drink and said smugly, "That's right. You know, I used to only read harem novels... So what about you? Why do you like Liang Jingfeng?"
This time, Wei Zhiyu wasn't as resistant as before. She faced Lu Yuanqiu, ate peanuts, and pondered the question.
Perhaps today will be a day for honesty.
"If I said it's because he's the only guy who's ever treated me to dinner, and the only guy who's ever treated me to so many meals, would you laugh at me?"
Lu Yuanqiu shook his head slightly: "No, it's precisely because we ate together so many times that we had more opportunities to get to know each other, right?"
“Yes, yes, I’m not very good at expressing myself when I talk about my own things, but that’s the gist of it.” Wei Zhiyu explained earnestly, “It’s because we’ve spent more time together that I’ve discovered he’s actually a very genuine person, with obvious strengths and weaknesses, but just the right way that I don’t dislike him.”
Lu Yuanqiu: "This is what it means to love him."
"Go away, that's disgusting. What love?" Wei Zhiyu lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lu Yuanqiu: "You're not planning to tell us?"
“I don’t plan to. Anyway, I’m not pretty enough in his eyes. He doesn’t like me. Saying it will only disgust him.” Wei Zhiyu looked up, threw a peanut into the air, opened her mouth to catch it, but missed. Annoyed, she raised her hand and slapped Liang Jingfeng on the back of the head.
Liang Jingfeng looked up in a daze, not knowing what had happened, and then lowered his head back down.
Seeing this, Wei Zhiyu chuckled to himself.
Lu Yuanqiu discovered that Wei Zhiyu actually looked quite handsome when she smiled, but Liang Jingfeng probably wouldn't have many chances to see Wei Zhiyu's smiling face, which was a real pity.
...
The moon hangs high in the night sky.
In the room, Bai Qingxia sat at her desk with her back to the door. On the notebook in front of her was a PowerPoint presentation for tomorrow's meeting. She wasn't working at the moment; she was just looking up at the moon outside the window, lost in thought for a while.
...Lu Yuanqiu hasn't said a single word to her since noon.
"Knock knock knock." The knocking sound came from outside. Bai Qingxia tensed up instantly. Coming back to her senses, she picked up her phone and glanced at the time: 10 p.m.
Soon, Bai Songzhe's puzzled voice came from outside: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Don't stay up late, go to sleep quickly."
"Okay! Coming right away!"
Bai Qingxia turned around and responded, then got up and walked to the bedside to turn off the brightest light in the room. She listened quietly for a while, and after the footsteps outside left, she walked to the table, turned on the small desk lamp next to her desk, and sat down again.
I can't sleep until I finish my work for the day.
Lu Yuanqiu said she was stubborn, and that was true. She could have been lazy, but if there were things she couldn't understand during the day, she had to figure them out at night so that she could go to sleep without any problem. This was the requirement she had set for herself these past few days.
These days, as her father's personal secretary, she has been busy with his work at the company and has seen and learned a lot. Although she was also Lu Yuanqiu's secretary at the Lu Group branch, the two situations are different.
Lu Yuanqiu practically protected her, taking on all the troublesome or necessary tasks himself, while Bai Qingxia only needed to consider whether the instant noodles tasted good enough. As for the packaging design, she could offer suggestions based on her own preferences, which Lu Yuanqiu would listen to and adopt, treating her like a precious treasure.
But for Bai Xi, her father was very strict with her.
Because her father is grooming her to be his heir, she can no longer just watch and listen from the sidelines and then it's over. Every action her father takes in front of her will become a template for her future practice.
Perhaps she doesn't really have any talent for managing a company, but Bai Xi is her father's obsession, and now it's her obsession too.
After working for another hour, Bai Qingxia finally finished her work for the day at 11 p.m. She closed her laptop, but then stared blankly at the moon outside the window.
I've never missed Lu Yuanqiu like this before.
Perhaps it's because it's the first time we've been apart for so long, or perhaps it's because I've been really busy and tired lately.
This afternoon, she gave her first presentation at a meeting. Her voice was so soft that others couldn't hear her, and the uncles and elders in the meeting room laughed at her. Although they didn't mean any harm, Bai Qingxia was a little sad because her father had been looking at her with high expectations at the beginning. Although her father wouldn't blame her, she felt that her progress was too slow.
Her father's hair was turning grayer and grayer, so she had to work faster. After all, they were the only father and daughter in the entire company who could truly trust each other.
Actually, she planned to talk to Lu Yuanqiu about the meeting that day that evening, hoping to get some comfort and encouragement from him. However, Lu Yuanqiu didn't reply.
Normally, they usually talk for a while after getting up and during breakfast.
I was busy all morning and didn't have time, so noon was the second time to chat.
They were busy all afternoon and didn't have time to chat. It wasn't until after six o'clock in the evening that they really started talking. Even when they went home to continue working, they would chat while working. Before going to bed, Lu Yuanqiu would act silly for a while as usual, and then they would say goodnight to each other, and the day would be over...
She had asked her third sister at eight o'clock and learned that Lu Yuanqiu was drunk and was probably fast asleep in bed right now.
It was understandable that he didn't reply to the message, so Bai Qingxia wasn't angry.
It seems Lu Yuanqiu had a pretty interesting day, all thanks to her, but she never intended for Lu Yuanqiu to get drunk... Bai Qingxia felt a little dissatisfied thinking about this.
She didn't know what she was unhappy about. Lu Yuanqiu being able to have fun was exactly what she wanted. Maybe she was just unhappy that Lu Yuanqiu was drunk when she needed him.
Today I wanted to write from Bai Qingxia's perspective. I haven't written like this in a long time, and I'm having writer's block, so I'll just post one update today.
