When Lu Zecheng heard Cheng Yuesheng call him "Little Mr. Lu", his heart sank.
He knew that Cheng Yuesheng was unlikely to accept the fact that he was a member of the Lu family in just a few days, and he was not optimistic enough to do so. But when he heard her address him with a sense of distance, he still felt a little heavy in his heart.
But he couldn't force her to accept him because of these things. After all, no one in the Lu family had discovered her existence in the past twenty years. She had never received any favors from the Lu family since she was a child. It was normal for her to feel distant from him.
Lu Zecheng hid the disappointment in his eyes and pretended to be calm. "You're welcome. As long as you like it."
Although he could act as if nothing had happened in front of Cheng Yuesheng, he still had to vent the depression in his heart.
He stared at Qin Heque holding Cheng Yuesheng's hand for a few seconds and said, "Boss Qin is in charge of such a large group, why is he so idle? Doesn't he have to work?"
Qin Heque smiled and said, "I am a person who keeps work and life separate. Today is my day off, so of course I have to stay home with Shengsheng."
"Don't worry about work on your day off, and you won't have to worry about any emergencies."
"There are so many employees in the group. If I need to step in every time there's an emergency, what's the point of paying them?"
"It seems that President Qin has great trust in his people."
"What's wrong? Does Xiao Lu always not trust his employees?"
Lu Zecheng narrowed his eyes when he heard his words. He found that Qin Heque was really good at making people angry, and most of the rumors in the business world said that he was cruel and ruthless. He even asked his friends who had worked with Qin Heque about him and learned that Qin Heque's methods were indeed not simple. He was very worried about Cheng Yuesheng, who was ignorant of the world, being with such a man.
In Lu Zecheng's eyes, Cheng Yuesheng is young and has just graduated from college. She is more suitable to be with a sunny and cheerful boy of the same age as her, rather than with the deep-minded Qin Heque. Otherwise, she would be eaten by him without knowing what happened.
Lu Zecheng turned to Cheng Yuesheng, "Shengsheng, is this how Boss Qin usually chats?"
Cheng Yuesheng was stunned, thinking of how Qin Heque usually spoke to her in a gentle voice, especially in the past few days, when he became even more gentle after expressing his feelings to her.
She lowered her head a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Que is always very gentle."
Lu Zecheng knew why she suddenly became shy. He frowned and said, "Boss Qin really treats people differently."
Qin Heque obviously didn't care what he said. He looked at Lu Zecheng calmly and said, "Shengsheng is the person I like. If I don't treat her gently, who else should I treat gently?"
He then smiled and continued, "If I treat Shengsheng badly, my grandfather will be the first to disagree."
Lu Zecheng had long known that their relationship was clear with the old man of the Qin family. Old man Qin liked Cheng Yuesheng very much, but he was still not satisfied with Qin Heque as his brother-in-law.
But Cheng Yuesheng's relationship with Qin Heque happened before the Lu family found her, and they had no right to obstruct Cheng Yuesheng's relationship.
It’s not just that Cheng Yuesheng likes Qin Heque, what makes him most angry is that his own father actually thinks that Qin Heque is a good choice as his niece’s husband. He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him that he would fall for Qin Heque, this treacherous guy.
Lu Zecheng suddenly said, "After talking for a while, I feel a little thirsty."
"Oh, I forgot to get you some water!"
Cheng Yuesheng completely forgot about this because Lu Zecheng came in with a bunch of gifts, which attracted all her attention and made her completely forget to pour water for Lu Zecheng.
She was about to get up to get the cup, but was stopped by Qin Heque.
"I'll go."
He could see that Lu Zecheng wanted to talk to Cheng Yuesheng alone, and they really should have a good chat, although Qin Heque readily gave them the space.
"Just let him go. There's no need for you, a girl, to be so busy." Seeing Qin Heque leave tactfully, Lu Zecheng suddenly looked at him with admiration.
But when they were the only two left in the space, they looked at each other in silence, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"How have you been these past few days?" Lu Zecheng decided to start with a simple chat.
"Very good." Cheng Yuesheng replied.
"oh."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent again.
It was too hard to bear, so Lu Zecheng decided to get straight to the point. "My dad plans to invite you to dinner at home in a couple of days. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable going alone, you can ask Qin Heque to go with you."
Cheng Yuesheng suddenly laughed when he saw that he seemed to be about to die heroically.
He clearly didn't like Qin Heque, yet he asked her to bring Qin Heque to his house for dinner.
When Lu Zecheng saw her smile, the tension in his heart was immediately relieved a lot.
"May I?"
Cheng Yuesheng nodded and agreed, "Okay, when the time comes, tell me the place and I'll take Brother Que with me."
"We are all so happy to have found you."
Cheng Yuesheng didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
"Actually, after we found out about your existence, we were all worried that you hadn't even been born. But your mother was truly great. She gave birth to you all on her own, unafraid of rumors. It's a pity that she passed away too early. If she were still alive today, she would definitely have been a very good mother."
"Yes." Cheng Yuesheng said in a low voice.
Lu Zecheng asked carefully, "Is the Cheng family treating you badly?"
Cheng Yuesheng's expression instantly faded. "The Cheng family is only interested in profit. They originally wanted me to marry, but I ran away."
