Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 232 Because She Is Not You

"..."

The office was deathly silent, and Zhuang Shuqing could no longer find words to describe her feelings at that moment. The man beside her showed no reaction at all, not to her inquiring gaze nor to the knocking at the door.

Angry, she carried her bowl into the break room. Before closing the door, she said, "Rest assured, do whatever you want to do. I won’t see it."

Lu Jinyang silently watched her close the door, took a mouthful of rice from his bowl, and said towards the door, "Come in."

Lin Xiaoxiao opened the door with glee, "Jinyang brother, you must..."

After her eyes swept to the various dishes on the coffee table, Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed the rest of her words and forced a smile, "Sorry, I didn’t realize you were already eating."

"No problem."

Lu Jinyang continued to eat his meal without looking up.

His movements while eating were very elegant, even though he came from the military, he not only ate fast but also retained his elegance. Just watching him eat felt like an appreciation.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was scrutinizing him with unabashed eyes.

Suddenly, Lu Jinyang stopped eating and asked her, "Is there something else?"

"No... nothing else."

Lu Jinyang took another bite and, seeing she was still there, looked at her, "Are you sure there’s nothing?"

"There is... something. Jinyang brother, I wanted to ask, I haven’t eaten yet, could I stay here and eat with you?"

"Sorry, I am not used to eating with strangers."

...

When Zhuang Shuqing came out of the break room, Lin Xiaoxiao had already left.

She glared at Lu Jinyang displeased, "You are too heartless, so harsh towards a woman." She had just seen through the crack of the door Lin Xiaoxiao leaving with a pale face, clearly Lu Jinyang had done something to embarrass her.

Lu Jinyang didn’t even glance at her, "I only talk about love with my woman."

Taken aback by the unexpected sweet talk, Zhuang Shuqing smiled with her eyes curving up, placing the bowl on the table and wrapping one arm around Lu Jinyang’s neck, "Lu Jinyang, Leng Yixing told me you have a negative EQ, when did you learn to say these sweet nothings?"

"Never learned."

Never learned to say these things?

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t believe it and pressed on, "Then tell me, how can someone achieve your level?"

"It’s natural."

She: "..."

After a moment of silence, she reached out to caress his face, gently forcing him to look at her.

"Lu Jinyang, there’s a question I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time."

"Go ahead."

"If it wasn’t me who entered the room that night, let’s say, for example, it was Tan Biyang, would you be as good to her as you are to me now?"

Almost the instant Zhuang Shuqing finished speaking, Lu Jinyang replied, "I wouldn’t."

Zhuang Shuqing laughed, "Why not?"

"Because she’s not you."

She: "..." Is that even an answer?

"Have you finished eating?" Lu Jinyang, seeing she wasn’t eating but rather encircling his neck asking questions, raised an eyebrow and stared at her, looking mischievous and cool.

For a moment, Zhuang Shuqing felt seduced by his good looks.

She quickly averted her gaze, stood up, and walked out, "I’m done eating, call me to clean up after you’re finished."

The low laughter of Lu Jinyang followed from behind, and Zhuang Shuqing immediately quickened her pace.

The feeling of fleeing and being laughed at really wasn’t pleasant.

The afternoon passed without incident, and Zhuang Shuqing didn’t hear from Lu Jinyang to clean up until after work, presumably the person who brought lunch had already taken care of it.

When it was time to leave work, she didn’t wait for Lu Jinyang and went straight to the parking lot.

Lu Jinyang quickly came down to the parking lot, but he looked upset.

After getting into the car and hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Shuqing still asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Yeah, Leng Yixing got into a fight with Lu Xiao."
