Lu Nanying pushed the door open and saw a woman sitting on Ji Chengzhou's office chair, playing with something in her hands. She frowned slightly and glanced at him. The tight black dress outlined her beautiful figure. The low-cut design revealed her white chest from a distance. Her wavy brown hair fell over her shoulders. Lu Nanying saw that what she was holding was Ji Chengzhou's watch. She said unhappily, "Who are you and why are you here?"
Li Xin started to look at Lu Nanying from the moment she walked in. Her palm-sized face, with only light makeup on, was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off her. No wonder Ji Chengzhou was so devoted to her.
Thinking of this, Li Xin's face suddenly became sinister. He fiddled with the watch in his hand and said arrogantly: "Ji Chengzhou is my fiancé. Why am I here?"
"Fiancé?" Lu Nanying's face gradually turned pale, and her bright eyes were empty, no longer showing the excitement and smile she had when she first entered the door.
Seeing Lu Nanying's shaky appearance, Li Xin felt extremely happy. He said arrogantly, "Why, Miss Lu, don't you know that the Ji family and our Li family are going to form an alliance? And it's true, Miss Lu has been chasing after that illegitimate child of the Yang family all day long. Everyone in the circle knows that you two are about to get married."
Li Xin stood up, walked in front of Lu Nanying, looked at her provocatively and said, "Haven't you already rejected Ji Chengzhou's pursuit and said that you would only marry the illegitimate son of the Yang family in this life? Miss Lu, your memory is so bad. Now that Ji Chengzhou and I are about to get engaged, Miss Lu, it's better not to covet other people's men."
Lu Nanying's lips were trembling slightly, his eyes were red, and he stood there blankly without moving.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from the outside. A man standing 188cm tall, wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, with a handsome figure, perfect features, and a pair of deep eyes, could not help but be moved by her. Li Xin's sweet voice rang out in Lu Nanying's ears: "Chengzhou, are you done with the meeting? I've been waiting for you for a long time." This was like a completely different person from when she spoke to Lu Nanying just now.
Looking at the girl with her back to him, Ji Chengzhou knew who she was even if she didn't turn around. Hearing Li Xin's name, he frowned and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Nanying didn't turn around. Listening to his cold, distant words, she could no longer hold back the tears that streamed down her cheeks. She tried desperately to control her emotions, replaying Li Xin's words over and over in her mind. Remembering how he had died for love in his past life, tears welled up in her eyes, unable to be stopped. She lowered her head, not even glancing up at the people in the office, and hurried out.
It was so fast that before Ji Chengzhou could react, she was already in the elevator. He looked at her back, a sense of loneliness emanating from his deep pupils, and his heart suddenly ached. Lu Nanying would show everything, even without seeing her face. He knew she had misunderstood and that he was talking to Li Xin.
He looked up at the woman still standing in his office, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes: "Ms. Li, Ji and your company are only in a cooperative relationship, and we are not that familiar with each other. Miss Li, please call me President Ji like everyone else."
Li Xin tossed her hair and smiled, not caring at all about Ji Chengzhou's attitude towards her. On the contrary, she was very happy because Ji Chengzhou had never said such a long sentence to her before. She said in a delicate voice, "Chengzhou, you know that our Li family is interested in an alliance. I like you very much. It would be great if our two families could join forces."
Ji Chengzhou exuded a cold aura, and his eyes were scrutinizing her. Li Xin felt uneasy under his gaze. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Ji Chengzhou in a cold voice: "Ms. Li, your Li family is not qualified to interfere in my marriage. I can guess what you said to Nanying just now even without you saying it. Miss Li, don't you know that she, Lu Nanying, is my bottom line? Since Miss Li has the guts to speak rudely to my people, she must also have the ability to take the Li family's business to the next level. Since the Li family no longer wants to cooperate, then let it go, Jiang Yi."
Jiang Yi, who was standing at the door, pushed it open and walked in. He had been by Ji Chengzhou's side ever since he took over the Ji Group, so it wasn't an exaggeration to call him his confidant. Ji Chengzhou only needed to give him a look, and Jiang Yi knew what to do: "Miss Li, please."
Li Xin glared at Jiang Yi, stomped his feet hard, and left Ji's.
Jiang Yi walked over to Ji Chengzhou and handed him the tablet. Ji Chengzhou took it and stared silently at the surveillance video playing in his office. Seeing that Ji Chengzhou didn't say anything, Jiang Yi said, "President, I have already given the order. From now on, no one except Miss Lu is allowed to enter your office without permission."
Ji Chengzhou placed his tablet on the desk, picked up the limited edition L watch on the desk and threw it into the trash can, then went into the lounge to wash his hands. He took out his car keys from the drawer and said to Jiang Yi in a low voice, "The people in the secretary's office will deduct half a month's bonus and replace everything in my office."
"Yes." Jiang Yi shook his head and murmured softly: If I have to offend this little ancestor, the Li family may be finished.
Ji Chengzhou was sitting in the car when his cell phone rang: "Hello."
"Yingying came to find you. Did you see her?" Lu Nanche's teasing voice came to his ears.
Ji Chengzhou pinched his brows lightly, his voice low and hoarse with helplessness: "I saw him, but he left before I could say anything."
Lu Nanche was lying on the sofa in the office. He jumped up reflexively when he heard Ji Chengzhou's words: "She's gone. She was so happy when she said she was going to see you. It was so worthless. Why did she leave?"
A hint of joy flashed in Ji Chengzhou's eyes, and he smiled lightly: "It's a little misunderstanding."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
"Ji Chengzhou, I told you that I don't like you, why are you so annoying? The person I like is Yang Yunze, and I will only marry him." Recalling what she said, her tone, and her attitude when he confessed to Lu Nanying, Ji Chengzhou pressed his hand on his heart, where it was so painful.
"Baby, what do you want me to do to make you love me a little bit?" If Lu Nanying was here at this moment, he would definitely rush over and hug Ji Chengzhou tightly, telling him that she loved him.
