Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 20: Did You Scare Him?

Yesterday, Leng Yixing brought her a list of leaders who were willing to be interviewed, which meant her job here was about to officially start.

She interviewed two leaders in the morning and had organized the records by lunchtime, so she immediately headed to the cafeteria.

"Comrade Zhuang, why aren’t you training today?" A familiar voice reached her ears. She turned towards the source of the voice and saw it was Xiao Liao. She smiled, "I have to work today, so I probably won’t get the chance to train with you all."

"Oh, I see~"

Zhuang Shuqing was here for work anyway, so naturally, work came first.

"No worries, we can train together once you’re not busy."

"Sure~"

The sun outside was a bit harsh, and two tall figures walked in against the light. The first thing that came into view was a man and a woman in front of them, deeply engrossed in conversation.

Leng Yixing’s first reaction was to look at Lu Jinyang’s expression, only to find him looking at the scene as if he was inspecting his subordinates, without a ripple in his eyes. He couldn’t help wondering if the scene he witnessed in his dormitory yesterday afternoon was just an illusion?

"Ahem, Captain Lu, aren’t you going to invite the woman who saved your life for a meal?"

"No need." She had already declined his offer of a lifetime commitment, she surely wouldn’t care for a simple meal from him.

"...You really don’t know how to be romantic."

Lu Jinyang gave him a glance, "Do you?"

"..."

The woman ahead seemed to sense something, turned her head back, and Leng Yixing clearly saw a flash of surprise across her face when she saw Lu Jinyang, then she quickly turned away.

He smirked mischievously, "Captain Lu, someone’s avoiding you like the plague. Did you frighten her too much?"

Leng Yixing looked back, and his companion had already strode forward, passing by the woman without a moment’s pause.

"Miss Zhuang, how was your work today?"

Just as Zhuang Shuqing was relieved that the man had not stopped, someone called her from behind, and she turned around stiffly, "It went smoothly."

"That’s good." Leng Yixing glanced at Xiao Liao and said to him, "Didn’t Doggie call you to have lunch with him?"

Doggie?

Xiao Liao was confused; he didn’t know this person.

Just as he was about to speak up, Leng Yixing gave him a meaningful look, and Xiao Liao immediately understood his intention.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still covered his conscience and said to Zhuang Shuqing, "I’ve made plans with a friend, so I won’t join you for lunch."

Before they could react, Xiao Liao swiftly made his exit. Joking aside, having a meal with Captain Lu was likely to happen only if he wanted indigestion one day.

"Miss Zhuang, let’s have lunch together later."

"Oh, sure." freēwēbnovel.com

Throughout the meal, Zhuang Shuqing found it tasteless. She couldn’t tell if Leng Yixing was doing it on purpose or not, but he had specifically seated her next to that man.

During the meal, they adhered to the principle of not talking while eating, and the only sounds were those of silently eating, forcing her to pick up the pace to match their rhythm.

Finally, having finished her meal, she breathed a sigh of relief. As she exited the cafeteria, she saw Leng Yixing standing at the entrance. He waved to her as she came out. "Comrade A’xing, what’s the matter?"

"It’s like this, the interview with Captain Lu has been arranged for you, but he got suddenly tied up with something and won’t be able to make it."

"Oh, alright."

Returning to her dormitory, Zhuang Shuqing habitually took out her phone and flipped it open, unexpectedly finding a missed call from the editor-in-chief.

She hurriedly redialed, and after two rings, the call was answered. Before she could speak, the editor-in-chief was already talking hastily.
