Lin Yusheng looked up and met Lu Zhengye's gaze.
She suppressed a laugh, then raised her glass and said, "Let's have a toast."
The three cups made a sound when they clinked together.
After finishing his meal, Lu Zhengye went back.
Shortly afterward, his driver came to pick him up, dressed in a suit and tie as he left.
Lin Yusheng figured he had probably gone to work again.
The brother and sister were both sitting on the sofa, so they naturally saw what happened.
Lin Jingyu asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention that Lu Zhengye lives next door?"
"You didn't even ask. Is it that important?"
Lin Jingyu sighed, then said earnestly, "You must not get too close to him just because he helped you before and is now your boss."
Lin Yusheng was a little confused when her brother, who had just been all friendly to Lu Zhengye, suddenly said this.
"Why?"
“He’s not a simple person, and the Lu family is far more complicated than we imagine. Stay away from him,” Lin Jingyu said.
Lin Yusheng: "Okay, I understand."
Sensing the perfunctory tone in his sister's words, Lin Jingyu became stern.
“I’m not joking with you. Think about it yourself. He’s an illegitimate son who came back from the brink of death. How did he manage to gain a foothold in Lucheng so quickly and turn a company on the verge of bankruptcy into a thriving enterprise? He relied not only on his strength but also on his methods.”
Lin Yusheng felt a little sorry for Lu Zhengye, "You know he was in a vortex. If he hadn't used some tricks, he probably wouldn't have survived to this day."
Lin Jingyu was stunned. "Are you taking his side?"
"No, I was just stating the facts."
Lin Jingyu looked Lin Yusheng over with disbelief and then said, "It had better be that way. Don't let his good looks fool you into having values based on his appearance."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Yusheng said angrily.
There's a story behind Lin Jingyu's statement. When they were little, Lin Yusheng watched cartoons with her brother, even though the villains were clearly very evil.
But Lin Yusheng always spoke up for the villain. Later, Lin Jingyu realized the truth: Lin Yusheng just thought the villain was handsome, so she always spoke up for him.
After being exposed by her brother, Lin Yusheng threw a tantrum and refused to admit it.
In the end, it took Mom and Dad to coax him.
Lin Jingyu wanted to say something, but Lin Yusheng sent him back to his room for a nap.
When Lin Yusheng was the only one left in the living room, she suddenly collapsed, her entire back soaked in cold sweat.
Her gaze fell on a small, hard object in the gap between the sofa and the wall.
She knew what it was without even looking: a small listening device.
Lu Zhengye still didn't believe her, or perhaps he didn't believe his brother.
My brother is right. He's a suspicious and cunning man, and most people can't outsmart him.
Lin Yusheng became even more determined not to develop genuine feelings for Lu Zhengye.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhengye was still in the car.
He closed his eyes to rest, wearing a black earphone; no one knew what he was thinking.
...
After dinner, Lin Yusheng and Lin Jingyu sat on the sofa and watched TV.
But Lin Yusheng suddenly received a message from Gao Yu.
They told her to come to the company so they could discuss something with her.
Lin Yusheng was a little puzzled. Gao Yu usually told her things directly on WeChat, and rarely did she need to make an trip.
But she went anyway.
She parked her car in Shenggan Parking Lot and took the elevator directly to the 17th floor.
Gao Yu was alone in her office when Lin Yusheng knocked and went in.
"Sister Yu, is there something urgent that you need to see me about?"
"It's nothing, just a few scripts you can pick and see if there's one you like. Also, Lu Zhengye wants you to go to his office to see him."
Lin Yusheng wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt there was some pity in Gao Yu's eyes.
"good."
Just as Lin Yusheng was about to leave, Gao Yu called her name again.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Yu tentatively asked, "Did you and President Lu have a fight?"
Lin Yusheng looked confused. "No."
"That's good, go ahead." Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yusheng instantly understood. It seemed that Gao Yu had asked her to come to the company at Lu Zhengye's behest, while Gao Yu had assumed that the two of them were arguing and giving each other the cold shoulder, which was why she was worried.
She instantly felt a warm feeling in her heart.
To avoid attracting attention, Lin Yusheng took the stairs to the 18th floor.
Wei Qing was shocked to see Lin Yusheng. "Miss Lin, what are you doing here?"
"You'll have to ask your CEO, Mr. Lu, about that."
"Huh?" Wei Qing was puzzled, but since he had not received any prior instructions, he dialed the president's office to confirm with Lu Zhengye.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Qing told Lin Yusheng to go over by herself, since they were old acquaintances anyway.
Lin Yusheng was still angry about the bugging device, so she went in without even knocking.
Lu Zhengye, who was still working on documents at the table, looked up.
Lin Yusheng gave a forced smile, "What business does President Lu have with a lowly employee like me?"
Lu Zhengye leaned back and asked, "What do you think?"
"have no idea."
"Come here." Lu Zhengye beckoned to her.
Lin Yusheng walked over.
The next second she sat on Lu Zhengye's lap.
Lin Yusheng instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, but immediately realized that they were in the company.
So she struggled and said, "Put me down quickly, someone might come in soon."
Lu Zhengye naturally wouldn't let it go; he was calm and composed, not worried at all about being seen by others.
He said, "You seem angry with me?"
Lin Yusheng immediately pouted and said aggrievedly, "How can I not be angry? I was just staying at home in this cold weather, and you called me to the company again."
Lu Zhengye laughed, his eyes burning with passion.
Lin Yusheng was all too familiar with that look, but this was the company.
She hurriedly raised her hand to cover Lu Zhengye's eyes, saying, "Don't get horny here. You may not care about your reputation, but I do."
As soon as Lin Yusheng finished speaking, her wrist was grabbed by a hot hand.
Lu Zhengye pulled her hand down and said with a malicious look, "I made you freeze, so I have an obligation to help you warm up."
"Really, you don't need to."
Lu Zhengye seemed not to hear, and simply closed his eyes and reverently kissed the back of her fair hand.
Lin Yusheng's hands and feet get cold in winter, while Lu Zhengye's lips are hot and soft.
If Lin Yusheng hadn't forced herself to remain calm, she would have truly drowned in his deep affection at that moment.
Although my heart was not moved, my body was.
Lin Yusheng was speechless with herself. Her brother was right; she was a hopeless romantic, easily swayed by looks.
But in this environment, with Lu Zhengye's assistant team outside and the possibility of someone knocking on the door at any time, Lin Yusheng really couldn't relax.
Finally, Lu Zhengye couldn't wait any longer and carried her into the small lounge inside the office.
As her body sank into the soft bed, Lin Yusheng raised her hand and punched Lu Zhengye in the chest.
She said angrily, "You did that on purpose."
Even though there was a lounge, he still flirted with her outside, just wanting to see her shy and nervous.
