Lu Jingyan affectionately stroked Shi Wan's lower back, gently patted her buttocks, and picked her up. Shi Wan wrapped her legs around Lu Jingyan's lean waist.
The ambiguous atmosphere that had just begun to warm up between the two was instantly interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and the next second, Lu's mother appeared at the office door.
Lu Jingyan was holding Shi Wan, who wrapped her legs around his waist like a koala, her hands tightly around his neck, her flushed face buried in his neck, while Lu Jingyan's hands were buried under Shi Wan's milky white shirt.
Although both of them were wearing their clothes perfectly intact, the ambiguous atmosphere in the office made people's imaginations run wild.
Standing behind Lu's mother, Zhou Yuan was about to call out to the chairman's wife in a panic. He had only gone to pour a glass of water, but he did not expect the chairman's wife to suddenly appear and witness President Lu and his girlfriend's...good thing?
Zhou Yuan glanced at the scene inside the door and his face turned red. He coughed twice and wisely stepped back.
Lu's mother glanced at her son's hand that was inside Shi Wan's shirt, then lowered her head and coughed awkwardly twice. When Shi Wan realized what was happening, her delicate face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
Mrs. Lu covered her eyes awkwardly and kept closing the door without stopping.
The room fell silent instantly. Shi Wan frantically pushed against Lu Jingyan's chest, "Lu Jingyan, put me down!"
Shi Wan awkwardly fastened the two loose buttons on her chest and struggled to get off him.
"No, call me husband." Lu Jingyan was completely unaffected and continued to support her buttocks.
"Auntie is still outside, don't do this, put me down quickly!" Shi Wan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she struggled even harder in the man's arms.
"Call me 'husband,' and I'll release it, quick!"
"Husband, husband, husband," Shi Wan rolled her eyes at Lu Jingyan, annoyed.
Hearing Shi Wan call him "husband" in a sweet voice, Lu Jingyan felt relieved and put Shi Wan down. He then carefully helped her button up the buttons that were not fastened.
When Lu's mother learned that Wanwan was with Lu Jingyan at the company, the news that the boss had brought his girlfriend to the company spread throughout the entire company within a single lunch break.
Before she arrived, she saw a bunch of things Wanwan had bought for Lu Nan and Lu Bei. After asking Chu Chu, she learned that Wanwan was busy buying things for the children and hadn't bought anything for herself.
Knowing that his silly son wouldn't consider many details, he came to the company to go shopping with Shi Wan and buy her a few sets of jewelry.
She had imagined the scene of two hot-blooded young people showing affection, and she had mentally rehearsed what kind of situation they would encounter a hundred times.
Before going in, she knocked on the door because she noticed Zhou Yuan wasn't guarding it, fearing she might see something she shouldn't.
She knocked twice at the door, but there was no response from inside.
Since Zhou Yuan wasn't guarding the door, they assumed the two of them had gone out.
But who could have imagined that we would witness this scene!
After thinking about the purpose of her visit, Lu's mother braced herself and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when the person inside opened it.
Lu Jingyan leaned lazily against the door as if nothing had happened, his eyes revealing a cool elegance. "Mom."
Looking at her son's unwilling expression, Lu's mother pushed aside the person blocking the doorway and said irritably, "You're such a grown man, and you don't even know how to take care of people."
"Mom, how do you know I haven't taken care of anyone?"
"Wanwan spent the whole morning shopping and bought a bunch of clothes for Lu Nan and Lu Bei. And what did you do? You had lunch with her, and when you got back to the office, you wouldn't let her rest." Lu Mu glared at Lu Jingyan.
"Also, knowing that Wanwan often comes to visit you, why don't you make room in such a big office to set up a lounge?"
“If you don’t know how to care for people, then stay single for life. Wanwan is a sensible and capable girl. Anyway, your younger sister is still young and needs an older sister to teach her. I hope to have another daughter.”
As soon as Lu's mother entered the door, she started scolding Lu Jingyan. When she saw him acting as if nothing had happened, she became even more furious.
“My dad, you two are still young. It’s not impossible for you to have another daughter.” Lu Jingyan walked to his desk, picked up the photo frame, and wiped it clean.
"You!" Just as Lu's mother was about to explode, she heard Shi Wan's voice coming out of the bathroom, "Wanwan, come here to Auntie." Her furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Shi Wan went into the bathroom and rinsed her face with cold water, trying to lighten the blush, but the effect was minimal.
Seeing Shi Wan's gratified expression, Lu's mother smiled and took Shi Wan's hand, saying, "Wanwan, I just heard from Chu Chu that the Lin family's daughter is causing you trouble again."
"Wanwan, don't be afraid. From now on, the Lu family will be your support. Even if you don't want Lu Jingyan anymore, you will still be our daughter. You can come to your uncle and aunt, and we will stand up for you."
"Mom... what do you mean you don't want me anymore?"
Lu's mother ignored Lu Jingyan; she was extremely pleased with the young girl in front of her.
Before meeting her, she had only heard about Teacher Shi from Lu Bei and his sister. Later, she only heard that Lu Jingyan was chasing after her like a male peacock.
At first, I was very curious about what kind of girl she was that the whole Lu family, young and old, were so interested in.
When I first met her, I thought she was really beautiful. She was a young girl who had been the principal dancer of the dance troupe and a student of Master Wuwang. She was also very patient with children.
Who wouldn't love a daughter-in-law who is both talented and beautiful? It would be even better if she were a daughter herself.
She had met many young ladies from prominent families in Kyoto and the capital, and most of the wealthy families in Kyoto wanted to establish a marriage alliance with the Lu family.
The youngest daughter of the Lu family has been living abroad for many years. When she reached the age to get married, it was revealed that she was already married and had children, so everyone's attention was focused on Lu Jingyan.
At every gathering of wealthy wives, several wives would bring their daughters, their purpose being to show their faces in front of her and try to win her favor.
Shi Wan looked up at Lu's mother, her eyes glistening with tears. "Auntie, thank you."
During the months she spent with Lu Jingyan, the warmth from the Lu family filled the void of family affection she had missed over the past few years.
"Don't thank us. We treat you like a daughter. If Lu Jingyan bullies you, you must go back to the old house. Let him live out his days alone. I don't have such a beastly son."
Lu Jingyan's face darkened; it seemed this was a way of retaliating for what he had just said.
Shi Wan was still immersed in sadness when she was amused by Lu's mother's words and glanced at the man who was holding her.
"I cherish this little princess so much, how could I dare to bully her?" Lu Jingyan lowered his head and played with her hair, his eyes filled with undisguised love.
"By the way, a friend is hosting a small party today. Most of the attendees are ladies I get along with well. There's also a small auction going on. Why don't you and your aunt go check it out?"
Lu Jingyan lowered his eyes and gently pinched Shi Wan's delicate, fair face, saying softly, "You don't have to go if you don't want to. If you want to go, I can go with you."
Shi Wan didn't want to offend her elders, and besides, Lu's mother knew that Shi Wan rarely attended these kinds of banquets, so she must have had a purpose in wanting to take her there this time.
However, with Lu Jingyan and his mother around, she felt somewhat at ease.
