"Being a CEO isn't easy," Li Peiyu remarked with a sigh.
Do you miss me?
"Yes," Li Peiyu answered without hesitation.
"Come to the window," Lu Yuzhi said gently.
Li Peiyu slowly walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and looked down. She saw Lu Yuzhi leaning against the car door, looking up at her window.
It was autumn, and darkness fell early. The street behind Lu Yuzhi was deserted, with only a few streetlights casting a dim yellow glow.
"I missed you. I'm just here to see you before I leave." Lu Yuzhi's eyes were full of longing.
"Anything else you need to do?" Li Peiyu's voice carried a hint of heartache, and a gust of cool wind made her shiver.
"Yeah, I have a project to finish, so I have to work overtime tonight," Lu Yuzhi replied helplessly, his hair fluttering slightly in the wind.
This project is time-sensitive and demanding; he's been working non-stop for days with almost no rest. Today, he couldn't bear missing her any longer, so he managed to squeeze in a little time to come see her.
"Oh." Li Peiyu's response carried a hint of disappointment, and her voice also contained a touch of grievance.
"Oh? You want me to go up?"
"Um, we're one short for sleeping, wanna join?"
"Is your roommate not here?" Lu Yuzhi asked.
“Yes, it’s just me.” Li Peiyu nodded gently.
"I don't know what time I'll finish my work. I'll come and keep you company another day." Lu Yuzhi's voice was full of apology.
"Oh." Li Peiyu's response was weak, and her eyes dimmed.
"Go to sleep quickly. Don't catch a cold," Lu Yuzhi said softly, his gaze fixed on the figure upstairs.
"Hmm, I'll go to sleep once you leave."
"Okay." Lu Yuzhi responded, then turned around, opened the car door, got in, and drove away.
Li Peiyu stood quietly by the window, her gaze following his car until it disappeared into the night, leaving only the cold moonlight shining on the earth.
About half an hour later, Lu Yuzhi made a video call.
"What's wrong, honey?" Li Peiyu had already snuggled into her warm bed.
Lu Yuzhi said gently, "Are you scared to sleep alone? I'll keep you company with the video call on."
“Mmm,” Li Peiyu thought to herself, her heart instantly bursting with joy.
She quickly reached out from under the covers, found the tripod, and frantically fiddled with it, finally adjusting the angle so that the camera was pointing directly at her.
Lu Yuzhi also wanted to prop up his phone, but he couldn't find a stand anywhere.
So he opened the drawer next to him and rummaged through it, trying to find a suitable replacement for the bracket.
Pulling open the second drawer, there was a stack of 100-yuan bills lying inside, a full 10 centimeters thick.
This is what's left over from the bonuses we gave to the employees before.
It's quite suitable as a support.
Lu Yuzhi leaned his phone against the stack of banknotes, adjusted the camera angle, and pointed it at himself. He then pressed the mute button so that his voice wouldn't disturb her sleep.
Li Peiyu smiled happily, and Lu Yuzhi smiled back.
This method of lulling the little girl to sleep feels quite good.
Lu Yuzhi picked up the documents beside him and looked at them, his expression becoming focused.
On the other end, Li Peiyu stared at him adoringly, her eyes unblinking, a happy smile on her face, murmuring to herself, "A serious man is so handsome."
"Good boy, close your eyes and go to sleep. When you wake up, you can look at me as much as you want." Lu Yuzhi's tone was full of doting affection.
"Mmm." Li Peiyu responded obediently, closed her eyes, and a sweet smile remained on her lips.
When Lu Yu looked up again, Li Peiyu on the other end of the video call had already quietly fallen asleep.
Her breathing was steady and even, her face serene, a picture of peace and beauty.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Lu Yuzhi's heart was filled with happiness, as if it were about to overflow. It was an indescribable sense of satisfaction, like being enveloped in warm sunshine on a cold winter day.
With her by my side, even the most tedious and boring work seemed to become more interesting.
The fatigue that had been building up inside me vanished completely.
Lu Yu's lips curled up.
He felt he could work overtime a little longer.
After tidying up the pile of documents, Lu Yuzhi instructed his new secretary to arrange for the employees who were working overtime to rest at the hotel, then took his phone and went to take the elevator downstairs.
As soon as he got on the elevator, two female employees came up as well. They greeted Lu Yuzhi and glanced at his phone.
Mr. Lu is video chatting with a woman!
He was screaming inside, but he desperately controlled the expression on his face.
Lu Yuzhi didn't pay attention to anything else, staring down at his phone screen, and saw Li Peiyu kick off the blanket, put her hands on her hips, and strike a pose in her sleep.
Lu Yuzhi smiled; she was just too adorable.
The female employee next to her inadvertently caught a glimpse of President Lu smiling, and her heart was filled with turmoil, so excited that she could hardly contain herself.
President Lu is usually serious and rarely smiles, but I never expected him to have such a gentle and pleasant smile.
Lu Yuzhi stepped out of the elevator, completely unaware that the two female employees had pressed the elevator button and returned to the upper floor.
This is such an explosive story, I have to go back and gossip about it with my other girlfriends.
As Lu Yuzhi stepped out of the towering building, his driver, Cheng Cheng, was already respectfully waiting by his side.
Lu Yuzhi told Cheng Cheng to go home first, while he himself drove quickly towards Li Peiyu's small apartment.
The car finally arrived at Li Peiyu's building. In the video, Li Peiyu was sleeping soundly, and her adorable appearance filled him with tenderness. He really couldn't bear to wake her up and open the door.
So, Lu Yuzhi gently reclined the chair, lay down, and gradually drifted into a light sleep, his heart filled with tender thoughts.
The video was also interrupted due to poor network connection.
Early in the morning, Li Peiyu carefully dressed herself up and prepared to go to school.
The moment she stepped out of the building, she immediately spotted Lu Yuzhi's conspicuous Maybach.
Li Peiyu walked forward with light steps and gently knocked on the car window.
Lu Yuzhi was awakened by the slight noise. Through his sleepy eyes, he saw Li Peiyu's excessively beautiful face, quickly rolled down the car window, and smiled as he let her into the car.
Li Peiyu got into the car and said with a hint of reproach, "Why are you sleeping in the car?"
Lu Yu looked at her with doting eyes, his gaze full of tenderness. He slowly reached out and gently touched her hair, replying, "I want to see you as soon as possible."
"You should have woken me up," Li Peiyu said, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of reproach in her voice.
"I'll miss you." Lu Yuzhi remained lying down, his voice full of exhaustion. "Whether you're going to school or the company, I'll take you."
“You’re going to class. But you’re not going. I’ll come upstairs with you so you can get some sleep.” Li Peiyu looked at him with concern and tenderness in her eyes.
"Is it okay to skip class?"
"It's okay, the teachers all know I'm starting a business, they won't make things difficult for me."
"Okay. Time to sleep."
With Li Peiyu's help, Lu Yuzhi got out of the car and went into the apartment.
