Chapter 915 You're My Little Darling
"Mr. Lu, the head office has made arrangements for you. When would you like to go over today?" As soon as Lu Yuanqiu came out of his office carrying a cardboard box, Li Qingxuan, who was waiting outside, greeted him with a smile.
Lu Yuanqiu looked at her and his lips twitched. This woman... her eyes were almost turning into hearts. Did she have to be so obvious?
Li Qingxuan has been riding high at the branch office these past few days, walking with her head held high. Now, whenever she sees Lu Yuanqiu, she feels like she can stick to him and never be able to get off.
To be honest, when Lu Yuanqiu went to work at the head office this time, he only took two things with him—the cardboard box in his arms and his secretary, Li Qingxuan.
When Li Qingxuan first heard the news, she was so happy she almost fainted, her whole body was radiating pink bubbles.
"Let's wait until after lunch. I was planning to take a few more photos downstairs, but I think I'll pass. I'm so sick of this place, I'd be sick of looking at the photos anyway." Lu Yuanqiu shook his head helplessly.
"Mmm!" Li Qingxuan immediately smiled and agreed, her eyes still sparkling.
She quickly replied, "Then I'll go ahead and get busy. I'll let you know when it's lunchtime. By the way, Mr. Lu, should we choose the staff canteen for lunch? After all, this is the last meal at the branch office. Wouldn't it be more meaningful and show more approachability to eat with everyone?"
Lu Yuanqiu lowered his gaze and stared at her. Li Qingxuan's smile froze, but she quickly forced a smile back. The next moment, Lu Yuanqiu moved closer to her. Li Qingxuan's smile vanished, and she silently retreated, her heart pounding. "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu... what are you going to do?"
"Isn't it inappropriate to do this in broad daylight? Never mind, if Mr. Lu wants it, she can only give it to him..." Li Qingxuan shyly raised her hand to unbutton her collar.
Lu Yuanqiu then placed the cardboard box in her arms. Li Qingxuan reached out and took it, looking a little bewildered.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want to eat in the staff cafeteria so others can see that you can sit face-to-face with me, right? It'll make you look good, won't it? And then you'll want to eat the food on my plate, won't you?"
"No...no way!" Li Qingxuan's expression suddenly broke down when she was exposed.
She quickly defended herself: "People just think that having the last meal in the staff candy restaurant shows that you're reluctant to part with the branch office employees, and it also makes you seem approachable and a sentimental leader. Mr. Lu, you really think too badly of them!! I hate you!" Li Qingxuan stomped her foot in grievance and pouted, sulking.
Lu Yuanqiu's face fell; he was on the verge of tears.
This slut hasn't changed a bit in over two years. Does she think pouting is cute? Do you think you're Bai Qingxia?
His phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID; it was Lu Yidong. Lu Yuanqiu waved to Li Qingxuan, signaling her to go cool off somewhere else, and walked aside to answer the phone, a sly smile on his face: "Hey, little beauty, what's up with looking for Gege?"
Lu Yidong's voice was cold: "Weren't you going back to Lucheng today? Have you arrived yet? I was bullied at school."
"Who bullied you?!" Lu Yuanqiu's expression and tone instantly turned serious, changing swiftly as if his face had been turned upside down.
Lu Yidong paused for a moment, seemingly because her brother's concern had improved her mood, and her tone was no longer as cold as before.
“A disgusting guy, even more shameless than you, is clinging to me because he’s a rich kid and he’s trying to get me to agree to be his girlfriend. He even plans to hold a confession ceremony downstairs in our girls’ dormitory at noon, saying that if I don’t agree, he’ll come every day, since he has plenty of money anyway.”
Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath: "What does your family do? Doesn't he know your background?"
Li Qingxuan didn't leave, secretly watching this scene from afar. President Lu still hadn't answered whether he wanted to have lunch in the staff cafeteria...
Lu Yidong: "I don't know what my family does, I don't even know him. He's so difficult to deal with, and what kind of background could I possibly have? My dad just runs a run-down supermarket. My grandparents and uncles spoil me but not me. Nobody has ever cared about me. I even had to register for school by myself last year..."
Lu Yuanqiu said righteously, "I care about you, I spoil you, you are my little darling."
Lu Yidong suddenly fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally whispered, "It's disgusting..."
"Isn't your little darling your sister-in-law?" she retorted sourly.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "You are all my little darlings, so what's there to compete for my favor?"
"Who's vying for my affections?! I'm about to throw up! Lu Yuanqiu! If you don't come soon, I'm going to accept his confession!"
The phone was disconnected with a "beep."
Seeing that Li Qingxuan hadn't left, Lu Yuanqiu waved to her. Li Qingxuan happily skipped over, practically wagging her tail: "What are your orders, Mr. Lu?"
"I'm going back to Lucheng now. Don't forget to take these things with you when you go back."
She instantly lost her enthusiasm and slumped down: "Oh...so we're not having lunch together?"
"So you're not going to act anymore?" Lu Yuanqiu glanced at her and explained, "Eat my ass, my sister was bullied, I'm going back to deal with her."
Lu Yuanqiu put his phone away and walked in one direction. He heard Li Qingxuan calling from behind, but he didn't turn around.
Li Qingxuan: "Who dares to be so bold?!"
I also want to know... Lu Yuanqiu entered the descending elevator, turned around, and his face was expressionless.
He made a call to his driver, got into the Rolls-Royce, and drove straight onto the highway back.
These past two years have flown by. Lu Yidong has already entered the second semester of her freshman year. In fact, when she started her freshman year, Lu Yuanqiu had considered sending her to register, but he couldn't get away from Zhucheng.
Moreover, her university was Lugong University, where she was a junior of Zhang Yifei and Liu Jianqing. The school was only one or two kilometers away from her home. When she enrolled, her parents probably didn't go to see her off because her home was close by.
Bai Qingxia had intended to deliver it, but something came up that day and she couldn't get away. Lu Yuanqiu remembered that Bai Qingxia was very glad she hadn't told Dongdong in advance, otherwise Dongdong would have been sad if she had missed the appointment.
He and Bai Qingxia have been even busier these past two years than before.
Not only do they have to focus on their studies, but they also have to take care of the company. Bai Qingxia is even more burdened with this. Her company is in Lucheng, and her school is in Zhucheng. Every day after school, she has to attend video conferences. On weekends, when others are resting, she has to go back to Zhucheng to work.
It was alright when they were in school; Lu Yuanqiu could see her at school. But during winter and summer vacations, it was a disaster. The two were separated by distance and could hardly see each other except for holidays and the Chinese New Year.
This time, for example, Lu Yuanqiu hadn't seen Bai Qingxia for almost a month.
This girl works very hard; she's always striving for her goal, just like the relentless Thirteen Sister in the novel "Scary Steps." Lu Yuanqiu has been teasing her with that nickname for the past two years.
