Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 817 - 814: That Guy Is Obviously Embarrassed

Gu Chen stared dumbfoundedly at the phone that had been hung up, "Did he just... hang up?"

Though Lu Jinyang’s attitude was a bit unpleasant earlier, Gu Chen inexplicably felt happy. Lu Jinyang said he’s the one calling the shots at the company now, so that means all these decisions he made are company decisions.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

Gu Li, let’s see how you run now! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Early the next morning, when Xiao Qing woke up, Lu Jinyang was already gone. She sighed silently, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.

Continuing to be so busy, she wondered if his body could handle it.

After washing up, she sat at the dressing table to do her skincare routine. Once finished, she suddenly thought of the letter in the drawer and took it out to read again.

When she read "Qingqing, I miss you, miss you so much", Xiao Qing suddenly felt short of breath.

Afraid her emotions would affect the baby in her belly, she hurried to the balcony to take deep breaths of fresh air. When she calmed down, she realized she had forgotten to grab her coat.

The winter wind was much sharper than the late autumn breeze; just standing for a few minutes, Xiao Qing felt a chill and quickly went back inside. Just as she turned to close the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw a tall figure in front of her, scaring her into retreating a couple of steps, pressing against the window.

Seeing the person’s face clearly, Xiao Qing took a deep breath, calming herself, and said, "You came in without saying a word; you scared me to death."

Lu Jinyang glanced at her and then bent down. When he stood up again, he had something extra in his hand.

"What is this..." Just one look and Lu Jinyang’s expression became somewhat odd, "Why is this thing in your hands?"

Facing the owner of the object, Xiao Qing couldn’t help but feel guilty. Even though she didn’t know how the thing came about, she cleared her throat, "How should I know what it is; let me take a look to find out..."

Yet, with a speed she’d never be able to match in her lifetime, the man folded the letter and pocketed it, then took her by the arm and led her out, "Since you don’t know what this is, let me keep it safe, so it doesn’t affect the baby later."

"..." Not buying it!

This guy was obviously embarrassed and didn’t want her to see!

But she’d just said she hadn’t seen the thing, so how was she to get it back now?

Just as she was thinking, the man suddenly stopped and uncertainly asked her, "You really didn’t see what was written on it?"

"No!"

"Then let’s go."

"..."

At the bottom of the stairs, Xiao Qing suddenly remembered something, "Didn’t you go to the company first thing in the morning?"

"Yeah, things are more or less arranged, nothing major today, Leng Yixing is there."

Xiao Qing understood. No wonder Qin Huaixin said Lu Jinyang is just a capitalist, eliminating exploitation is just a myth. Looking at it now, what Qin Huaixin said wasn’t without reason. At this moment, she felt a bit sorry for Leng Yixing, and it was no wonder he insisted on sending Leng Shuangshuang to Qin Huaixin’s parents.

No one would be comfortable letting a woman in mid-pregnancy take care of a child and be responsible for three meals.

"When are we going over there?" Xiao Qing asked.

"It’ll still be a while."

Lu Jinyang also wanted to resolve the matters over there quickly, but he had his own plans. As long as Xiao Yiting didn’t leave, he wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving his family here. Otherwise, faraway help can’t put out a nearby fire; if anything happened that he’d regret, he might live in self-blame for the rest of his life.
