Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 1013 - 1010: Let’s Have a Meal Together

Xiao Qing knew well that the "bullying" she mentioned wasn’t about what he did, yet for the first time since adulthood, Lu Jincheng felt a twinge of guilt, but he quickly ignored it: "No, we’re good."

"Really?"

"Really."

"That’s good. You’re too busy with work. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer Shuang’er to your office as your secretary."

Lu Jincheng’s eyebrows twitched fiercely, "Mom~!"

"It’s settled then, your dad has already agreed." With that, Xiao Qing left without looking back, leaving Lu Jincheng with a headache.

The next day, when Lu Jincheng returned to the office, he saw the space where the coffee table and sofa used to be was emptied. Just as he wanted to ask someone about it, he saw someone moving a desk inside.

He frowned: "What are you doing?"

Someone answered: "President Lu, Madam wants us to move Leng Assistant’s desk in here."

He pressed a bulging temple but ultimately said nothing.

Soon the desk was set up, and shortly after, someone moved a chair in, then quickly left his office.

Lu Jincheng sat back in his chair, staring at the newly moved desk, lost in thought.

The glass door of the office was knocked on, and Lu Jincheng looked outside, seeing it was her, he quickly looked away.

Leng Shuangshuang, seeing his gaze, took a deep breath and said, "President Lu, I’m here to report."

"Hmm."

Leng Shuangshuang carried her things in, a mere few steps away, but after putting her things down, she realized her palms were sweaty.

She received the notice last night after returning home. She asked Xiao Qing why this arrangement, and Xiao Qing said they grew up together and were in sync, making work cooperation better.

Leng Shuangshuang refused to work with him, but in front of Xiao Qing, she couldn’t muster the words to refuse, leading to today’s scene.

The whole morning, Leng Shuangshuang’s heart was tight, facing Lu Jincheng, she couldn’t calm down to work. On the contrary, he seemed completely unaffected.

Finally, it was lunchtime, Leng Shuangshuang tidied her things, grabbed her bag and headed out.

"Let’s have lunch together."

Hearing his voice from behind, Leng Shuangshuang instinctively replied, "I... I’ve got plans today."

"Who with?"

"..." Yeah, who did she have plans with?

Footsteps sounded leisurely behind, Leng Shuangshuang closed her eyes, "I made plans with Xinyun."

The footsteps stopped, and her heart nearly jumped out. She thought he would say forget it, but instead, things weren’t as she expected.

Lu Jincheng moved in front of her, looking down at her, "If I remember correctly, she’s out with Nangong Xuan today."

Leng Shuangshuang suddenly lifted her head, meeting his deep black eyes before quickly lowering it again, "Oh, then maybe I remembered wrong."

"Let’s go." With that, he walked out first.

Leng Shuangshuang stood still for a moment, then followed him.

Lu Jincheng took her to the same restaurant where Xinyun had once invited her for a meal.

While ordering, he didn’t ask her opinion but ordered all the dishes she loved.

During the time waiting for the food and during the meal, there was no communication between them.

After eating, Leng Shuangshuang wanted to return to the company, but Lu Jincheng asked her, "Do you like staying in my office?"

"..." She didn’t want to stay in his office; rather, she didn’t want to be with him like this. This zero-communication interaction mode was only making her feel more suffocated.
