Chapter 8 doesn't need to constantly remind me of my impending death.
[I remember that after my elder brother died, Guan Junhao tirelessly worked on his behalf. After discovering that Fang Rou and the Qin family were responsible for his brother's death, Guan Junhao joined forces with the Mo family to bring down the Qin family. In the end, he even found evidence to bring Fang Rou to justice.]
Guan Junhao visits his elder brother every year during the Qingming Festival to pay his respects and have a chat. It's such a shame his brother didn't die so young; their friendship is truly a pity…
Mo family?
Is it the Mo family, second only to the Lu family in Kyoto?
When did Ah Hao become acquainted with the Mo family?
When Lu Yunchen thought about how much effort Guan Junhao had made for him, a touch of tenderness rose in his eyes.
"Tap tap tap... tap tap tap tap..."
[Those high heels... those footsteps... could it be... Fang Rou? I think it's around this time.]
[After Guan Junhao's appearance, Fang Rou will be on her way. Next, Sister Feng and her future sister-in-law will be coming to our company to discuss cooperation.]
[Alas, if my elder brother hadn't died so young, he and my sister-in-law would definitely have gotten married. What a pity, my elder brother died too soon. Such a wonderful sister-in-law, yet he was never destined to have her...]
Lu Yunchen: "..."
There's no need to constantly remind me of my impending death...
And what about the future sister-in-law? What's going on here?
He's practically dead already, where else could he find you a sister-in-law? Don't be ridiculous!
"Yun Chen, the client is already seated in the conference room."
As the doorknob turned, a woman in a brown business dress walked in. Her hair was wavy, and the caramel pink-brown color made her look gentle and intellectual.
A perfectly timed 90-degree smile graced her lips.
Such a beautiful woman, it's unbelievable that she could be so vicious...
Lu Yunchen: "Okay, I understand. I'll be there now."
Fang Rou's gaze flashed across Lu Yining's face before shifting to Lu Yunchen. She glanced at his clothes, her expression growing increasingly puzzled, as if she had many questions about his attire.
"Yun Chen".
"Are you... cold, dressed like that today?"
Wearing so many clothes, are you... feeling a little weak?
"I have a bit of a cold and don't want to infect you."
Lu Yunchen's tone was slightly cold. After saying this, he looked at Lu Yining again. The difference was that when he looked at Lu Yining, there was a hint of tenderness in Lu Yunchen's eyes.
"Ningning, why don't you sit here and play for a while? I'm going to talk to the client about some work."
"Go on, go on." Lu Yining waved at Lu Yunchen like she was shooing away a puppy.
Guan Junhao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this handsome guy will take good care of your sister. You can go with peace of mind."
Lu Yunchen: "..."
The person I'm most worried about here is you...
"Don't worry, your brother will be back soon."
After saying this to Lu Yining, Lu Yunchen took the documents that Fang Rou had prepared and turned to leave the office.
Fang Rou followed closely in Lu Yunchen's footsteps. However, in the brief moment their eyes met, it seemed as if they were not paying attention to Lu Yining's gaze. During the eye contact, a dark glint appeared in Fang Rou's eyes.
Lu Yining paid no attention to the glances. She watched the two leave and then sat down in the office chair that Lu Yunchen usually sat in, swinging her legs idly.
The space suddenly fell silent, but fortunately Guan Junhao was good at livening things up. He grinned, revealing a row of bright white teeth that looked like they were about to be polished, and looked at Lu Yining.
"What do you usually like to play, little sister? Want your brother to play with you?"
"I like playing this." Lu Yining waved her phone. "Do you want to build a house with me?"
It just so happens that this game has a friend co-building feature, which allows you to experience the fun of building houses with your friends. She remembers that in the original book, it was written that Guan Junhao's aesthetic sense was always on point.
Guan Junhao leaned closer to Lu Yining, and after seeing the art style of the game, he immediately exclaimed, "What game is this?! Quick! Tell me! I need to know the name of this game in one second!"
"Peach Blossom Town, bring me your phone, I'll download it for you."
……
"Brother Hao, you can build the house here first. I need to use the restroom. I'll come back and continue building the house."
After saying that, Lu Yining put down her phone and hurriedly ran out the door.
“Hey hey hey… wait… wait…” Guan Junhao quickly snapped out of his game, looked up, and called out to Lu Yining: “Do you know where the toilet is? Or should I take you there?”
"No need, I know." She made a point of noting where the company's restrooms were when she came over.
After leaving the president's office, Lu Yining went straight to the nearest restroom, relying on her memory.
I had barely squatted down when I heard something outside the door...
Colleague A: "Hey, I have something to tell you. When I came to work this morning, I saw the CEO walking into the company with a woman. They were behaving incredibly intimately!"
Colleague B disagreed: "Everyone in the company knows the president and Secretary Fang are a couple. What's wrong with them being affectionate, hugging and kissing? It's perfectly normal..."
Colleague A exclaimed, "Oh dear! It's not Secretary Fang! If it were Secretary Fang, would I be telling you this so excitedly? It's a complete stranger! I've never seen her before; she looks completely unfamiliar!"
"What does she look like?" Colleague B was clearly intrigued: "Could it be... that woman is even prettier than Secretary Fang?"
"You know what, she is indeed quite pretty, the kind of pure and innocent look. Even as a woman myself, I felt a strange urge to protect her when I saw her, let alone a man." Her temperament is completely different from that of Secretary Fang.
Lu Yining pressed the flush button without changing her expression, calmly walked out of the bathroom, and walked step by step towards them... to wash her hands...
"He..."
A gasp suddenly rang out from colleague A's mouth, but she quickly realized that the situation was inappropriate and covered her mouth with her hand.
"what's wrong?"
"The woman I just told you about, that's her, that's her, the woman who was very intimate with the president this morning."
Lu Yining was somewhat helpless. The volume you guys were using... really didn't sound like you were whispering...
Inside the restroom, two other people were touching up their makeup in front of a mirror. After applying lip gloss, one of the women glanced at Lu Yining through the mirror and sneered.
"Some women are just shameless. They know the CEO is handsome and rich, so they rush to cling to him. They don't even look at themselves; they're disgusting..."
"There's a saying that goes, a mistress is a mistress, she'll never amount to anything. The CEO is just temporarily infatuated with you, he's only taken a liking to you for a while. Once this is over, let's see what you'll be so arrogant about."
Another woman also glanced at Lu Yining with disdain, then waved her hand to her nose in disgust: "You smell like a vixen, it stinks..."
