Chapter 22



If she had only liked him from afar before because he was handsome, then after spending some time together, she felt that he was even better than she had imagined.

Of course, her liking for it has only increased.

But I felt embarrassed to say it out loud, even though the two words were about to come out, right between my lips and teeth.

The little girl's eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent. Lu Xingyun wondered why she was so shy? If it were someone else, if she was given a way out, they would have confessed their feelings long ago.

stupid!

Lu Xingyun scratched her nose: "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that you must like it to death, right?"

Wen Ruo:......

"No," she closed her eyes slightly, "I didn't..."

Before I could finish my words, I felt a heavy touch on my lips, and he actually kissed me.

Wen Ruo was completely stunned, with only one thought echoing in her mind: Lu Xingyun actually kissed her, he actually kissed her!

That moment seemed very, very long.

But he did not go deeper, just skimmed the surface. When he raised his head, he saw Wen Ruo as if she had been cast under a spell, stiff as a stone. Her expression was even more worth remembering.

It's definitely not hate.

"You still want to say you don't like it?" He caressed her lips, his heart beating wildly in his chest.

This was also his first love, and it was also his first time to kiss someone. Of course, he had little experience, and he didn't even know how to go deeper, but the feeling was very tempting.

Wen Ruo's legs went limp, and she leaned her back against the wall for support, and said with a sigh, "You..."

"Why don't you slap me?" Lu Xingyun asked.

She pursed her lips and her eyes were watery.

She felt that Lu Xingyun was like a poison pill. She knew that taking it might not be good for her, but she simply couldn't refuse. And slap him? How could she possibly fight? She couldn't even get angry!

Wen Ruo was a little angry with herself.

Lu Xingyun smiled.

I just love it so much!

It was that smile again, as bright as the sun, that brightened up the entire office. Wen Ruo thought that if she stayed any longer, she would die.

"Boss Lu, I have to go back," she requested, "I've been away for a long time. What if something happens in the production department..."

"Yes." Lu Xingyun agreed, "You don't need me to remind you tomorrow, right?"

Tomorrow?

"Isn't it just a meal you owe?" Wen Ruo felt embarrassed to come again.

"Don't want to come over?" Lu Xingyun raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll go to the production department to find you."

"Ah!" Wen Ruo shook his head like a rattle, "No... No, my dad is busy, and I'm afraid he'll be too tired if I always ask him to cook for two people."

It turns out it was because of filial piety.

Lu Xingyun recalled that every time she went to a restaurant, she would see Wen Ruo helping out. She was either sweeping the floor or wiping the table. Sometimes her mother would say, Ruoruo, stop busying herself. She always says, it's okay, it will be fine soon.

She is very hardworking.

So well-behaved and so sensible.

"Okay." Lu Xingyun didn't make things difficult for her.

Wen Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

When I came out of the office, the employees all looked at me silently.

She was just delivering a meal, but she stayed in there for at least ten minutes. Wen Ruo's face turned red uncontrollably and she hurried out.

She covered her face as she stood in the elevator.

Lu Xingyun actually kissed her just now!

He even pushed her against the wall!

The more Wen Ruo thought about it, the hotter her face became.

She stood in the cool breeze at the stairwell window for a minute, waiting until the heat subsided before walking back to the production department.

Of course, what happened today quickly reached Lu Shenxiu's ears.

If only the son took the initiative and the girl was indifferent, it would be like being one-sided and unable to accomplish anything. However, if the girl delivered the meal to the president's office, that would be dangerous.

Young people are full of vigor and vitality. If something happens, how can he stop it?

On Thursday night, Lu Shenxiu informed his son: "The Xu family is holding a cocktail party tomorrow, you must be there."

They were business partners, but the contacts were not frequent and he could go or not. However, Lu Shenxiu specifically reminded him of this, so Lu Xingyun naturally agreed.

After informing his son, Lu Shenxiu made plans for his wife again: "I let Xingyun be the second-in-command of the company as you wished, and now you have to repay me. The child is already grown up, you should let her have a girlfriend..."

"Do I need you to tell me?" Zhang Yin was choosing clothes to wear to the cocktail party tomorrow. "Am I not more anxious than you? If this kid doesn't find a job, I'm going to think he's sick!"

"That's perfect. You can look for someone for him at the party. Many CEOs will be bringing their families with them."

Zhang Yin is not optimistic.

It’s not like my son hasn’t been to a cocktail party before, and he’s also met the daughters of those families. He doesn’t have any thoughts...but he still wants to give it a try.

There were indeed many beautiful women that day.

Zhang Yin herself was also dressed very seductively, in a tight red knee-length skirt that outlined her graceful figure.

Lu Shenxiu frowned: "I asked you to find a daughter-in-law." Not to let her find a lover for herself.

What does he know? When there are so many women, of course they will compete for beauty!

Zhang Yin glanced at him and said, "I like it!"

Lu Shenxiu was speechless.

Lu Xingyun was absent-minded and didn't hear what they were saying at all.

She hasn't had any news since Wen Ruo delivered the meal on Monday. He was busy and had been out discussing business recently. Could Wen Ruo be so busy? Yu Boxiao only signed two orders this week.

She obviously has plenty of time.

Lu Xingyun was unhappy.

Not knowing what she did all day, he opened WeChat, added her as a friend, and entered the name "The Cat Who Stole the Sauce Meatballs".

When applying, he thought about it, wrote down three words, and then fell into a long wait.

However, when the car arrived at the cocktail party venue, there was no response from the other side.

What is she doing? Did you go out to play on the weekend?

Lu Shenxiu found that his son kept looking down at his phone and frowned: "This phone is not a good thing... No wonder there is a saying that if you want to ruin a child, give him a mobile phone."

Lu Xingyun: ...

"Maybe he's watching the news!" Zhang Yin chimed in, "Xingyun doesn't play games, so what's wrong with him checking his phone? You old man are such a meddlesome person!"

"I'm educating my son, why do you always interrupt?" Lu Shenxiu was furious, "My son is spoiled by you!"

If Zhang Yin wasn't so easy to talk to, Lu Xingyun might be more obedient. Now, as a father, he can't even order Lu Xingyun not to fall in love with Wen Ruo. He can only save the country in a roundabout way.

If you make this kid angry, he might quit.

After all, Lu Xingyun's hobby can make a lot of money, and it is not difficult for him to support himself, so there is no way to impose economic sanctions.

His father was furious, and Lu Xingyun put away his phone: "I was just checking my Moments."

Entering the venue, they greeted the guests who had already arrived.

Zhang Yin looked at all the young girls and fixed her eyes on Wu Ruoqiong, the daughter of Mr. Wu of Jiangliu Group.

I heard that she returned to China last month. She looked very graceful and outstanding. Jiangliu Group has strong assets. If my son can date Wu Ruoqiong and get married in the future, it would be the best of both worlds.

Just then Wu Ruoqiong came over to say hello.

"Aunt Zhang, you look so beautiful in this dress." She herself was wearing a red dress, "You are much more elegant than me."

Zhang Yin was very impressed by him and said with a smile, "If I had known that our colors clash, I would have changed to black."

"Black is mysterious, you can wear it any way you want."

Oh, what a good talker! Zhang Yin called her son over and said, "Xingyun, this is Mr. Wu's daughter. This should be your first meeting, right?"

Wu Ruoqiong didn't expect that the young president of Chengrui Company was so handsome. She was slightly stunned, and then smiled elegantly: "Hello, my name is Wu Ruoqiong. I heard from my father that you just made a deal."

He talked about Chengrui Company, saying that it had a bright future and that the child from the Lu family was very capable.

She thought to herself, why didn’t Dad tell me that I was pretty?

Lu Xingyun had been influenced by his father and uncle since he was a child. He knew how his father and uncle did business and how they interacted with others. He also smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to Mr. Wu's care, we have saved a lot of money."

"It's a win-win situation. What's the point of talking about favoritism? My dad said it's because your products are so good."

“Someone has to appreciate it.”

The two children started talking and Zhang Yin quietly retreated.

Lu Xingyun was very adept at this aspect, but Wu Ruoqiong soon started talking about personal life.

“Where did you go to college?”

"It's at Lianxi University."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up. "I originally wanted to stay here to go to university, but my mother insisted that I go abroad. I'm in the UK..."

Lu Xingyun was already a little impatient. He was fine with talking about business, but he was not interested in anything else.

Besides, he wasn't in a very good mood to begin with.

He took out his cell phone and said, "Excuse me."

Wu Ruoqiong was stunned, and then he saw Lu Xingyun walk to a secluded place to make a phone call.

Wen Ruo was helping his father wash scallops as he was about to make some more XO sauce when his cell phone rang.

She wiped her hands and walked into the living room, then found that it was Lu Xingyun calling.

She immediately took it to her room and closed the door.

After answering the phone, her heart was pounding, she felt a little excited and a little nervous.

Ever since Lu Xingyun kissed her, she felt that their relationship was different, and she couldn't adapt quickly.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xingyun asked.

“I’m washing scallops.”

"Busy with kitchen chores?" Lu Xingyun could imagine what she looked like, but her tone soon turned bad, "Can't you just come and see me for a moment?"

"Ah... I don't have anything to ask you."

"Don't miss me?"

Wen Ruo's face turned red. She thought about it, but she didn't know what to say to him.

There was no response from the other end, but Lu Xingyun's lips curled up.

She must be shy, wouldn't she want to? She would definitely be thinking about that kiss, because he would be too. Now he couldn't wait to pull Wen Ruo into his arms and give her a good kiss!

His voice was a little hoarse: "Didn't you check WeChat before?"

Wen Ruo thought, she had never added him on WeChat.

She only had his phone number, and as his superior, if she had any instructions, she would definitely call him directly.

“No.”

"Then take a look now."

Wen Ruo opened WeChat and saw a friend request with the words "Brother Lu" written on it.

If Lu Xingyun hadn't reminded her, she would definitely not have thought that it was him. You know, he never did that when Lu Xingyun's classmates joked with him before.

Why now...

But Wen Ruo still added him as a friend.

"Just write this as the remark." Lu Xingyun emphasized.

He is not her brother, and she only has a cousin. Wen Ruo hummed and seemed hesitant.

Lu Xingyun raised his eyebrows: "Are you done?"

No, Wen Ruo filled in the note. When she typed the word "brother", she couldn't help but pouting. She wondered why Lu Xingyun also made such a joke.

It must have been okay after so long, right? Lu Xingyun teased her: "Scream and let me hear it."

Wen Ruo:......

It’s already embarrassing to write this, but she, she can’t even scream.

"I have to go get busy." Wen Ruo hung up the phone in a hurry.

Lu Xingyun couldn't help but smile as he could imagine her blushing face and running away.

That smile was charming and sweet. Wu Ruoqiong watched from afar and wondered, who was he talking to on the phone?

The author has something to say: Lu Xingyun: I am your only brother, do you know?

Wen Ruo: Humph, just show off! Thank you to the little angels who cast their votes for me or irrigated me with nutrient solution~

Thanks to the little angels who cast [mines]: Nini 2; Mei 1;

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:
