Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 288: The Jealous Man

"Madam, Si... Si Nanchen has arrived. He says... if you don’t show up, he’ll search every office until he finds you." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Zhuang Shuqing’s eyebrows slightly cooled; she had already explained everything, what was he doing coming here now?

After a moment of contemplation, she said, "You go down first to keep him steady, I’ll handle it."

Secretary Ding left, her heart filled with trepidation.

She didn’t know how Zhuang Shuqing would handle it, but it was beyond her scope of intervention.

Main Lobby on the First Floor

The receptionists nervously looked at the furious man. They recognized him; he was Lin Xiaoxiao’s cousin-in-law, but they had no idea why he was looking for their lady boss.

Seeing Secretary Ding come back, Si Nanchen’s expression grew even uglier.

"Where is she?" he asked.

Secretary Ding, with her excellent professional demeanor, still maintained a smile despite Si Nanchen’s unfriendly expression.

"Mr. Si, please wait a moment. Our madam has asked you to wait a little while; she will come over after finishing her current tasks." She did not specify how long the wait would be.

Upon hearing this, Si Nanchen’s expression softened slightly. He grunted in acknowledgment and walked over to sit down in the nearby rest area.

Seeing this, Secretary Ding quickly signaled the receptionists, who instantly understood, brewed a cup of tea and brought it over, then stood by with Secretary Ding.

Upstairs, Zhuang Shuqing called Lu Jinyang, but just like before going out for a meal, he didn’t pick up the phone. She sighed and sent him a message informing him that Si Nanchen had come looking again.

After making these arrangements, Zhuang Shuqing went down to the main lobby on the first floor.

Just as Si Nanchen was running out of patience, a graceful figure appeared in his line of sight. His eyes widened in delight, "Shuqing~"

"Mr. Si, hello. What is it that you need from me?"

Just as Si Nanchen was about to speak, Zhuang Shuqing continued, "Mr. Si, if it’s a matter of cooperation, you can talk to our supervisor. If you can’t get through to the supervisor, then you can look for our Secretary Ding, and if that still doesn’t work, you would have to speak with President Gu."

President Gu?

Gu Chen?

What the hell!

He was there to find her!

"Shuqing, I came to see..."

Before he could finish, Zhuang Shuqing went on, "If it’s a personal matter you’re looking for me for, I’m afraid Mr. Si will have to wait until I’m off work to discuss it."

The words Si Nanchen wanted to say were stalled at the tip of his tongue.

He was there for her private affairs, but did they really need to wait until the end of the workday to talk?

"Shuqing, don’t be like this, even if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends."

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t argue or get angry in response. She spoke very slowly and patiently, just like how she would treat a client, "Mr. Si, I’m sorry, but my husband doesn’t allow me to make friends with any men other than him. However, you can try making friends with my husband first and convey your intentions through him."

Si Nanchen felt like he was between a rock and a hard place. Who would want to befriend Lu Jinyang, that demon head?

Being friends with him was only asking to be punched!

He could see clearly now, after Zhuang Shuqing clarified her words, she decisively separated their relationship completely.

"If there’s nothing else you need from me, I have to get back to work now. Secretary Ding, please see the guest out."

"Certainly, Madam."

Secretary Ding approached Si Nanchen, ready to "escort" him out, but unexpectedly, he turned around and sat back down on the sofa.

"I’ll wait for you to finish work then."

Zhuang Shuqing was at a loss and could only return upstairs.

Seeing an unread message on her phone, she opened it to find it was from Lu Jinyang, saying: Will be back soon.

Looking at the message, Zhuang Shuqing smiled.

This jealous man of hers.
