Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 54 - After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 16
Chapter 54: Chapter 54 After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 16
Su Zhiruan…
turned out to be a graduate of Jinghua University!
When the young woman revealed everything, silence fell over the room.
Nobody could dispute the prestige of other universities, and there could be debates about which school ranked second or third, but Jinghua University was the undisputed number one!
All the teachers and students of Jinghua University had been meticulously selected after numerous exams and trials, representing the very top echelon of scholars.
Basically, as long as one sent out a resume, it would be highly sought after, eagerly snapped up by corporations.
And the reason Su Zhiruan chose to come to this hotel was mainly because the salary could be advanced, and the shift system allowed for more rest time, not requiring one to stay at the hotel all day to work.
Indeed, many companies had extended olive branches to her, but the starting salary and benefits naturally wouldn’t be high, and it required being on-site all day. At that time, the original host was desperate, and rather than taking a job requiring an internship before promotion, it was better to find a job that allowed for quick employment with a higher salary.
Meanwhile, Su Zhiruan was unaware of what was happening at the hotel.
She took her belongings and made a trip back to Lu Peijin’s Fujin Water Pavilion.
She planned to live at Lu Peijin’s place for a long time, so these daily necessities were to be left there.
And today, she also had an important matter to attend to.
Familiar with the route, she entered the villa, but as she looked up, she saw Lu Peijin.
Lu Peijin was handsome, with a tall and slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a particularly good physique, something Su Zhiruan was well aware of.
Currently, he was dressed in an off-white casual outfit. He seemed to have just taken a shower, a towel draped over his neck, with his half-dry, half-wet hair covering his eyelashes.
Different from the usual imposing figure in a black suit, the superior and indifferent President Lu, he looked more like a college student today.
“You’re back?” He watched as Su Zhiruan gazed steadily at him, motionless. A trace of secret delight emerged in his heart, and Lu Peijin quickly walked over. Having approached and realized she hadn’t moved, he asked, “Why are you standing still?”
“Came home to drop some things off; I have to go out again in a bit,” Su Zhiruan lifted the cloth bag she was holding, which contained the daily necessities she had left in the staff dormitory.
At this moment, Lu Peijin’s mind was entirely preoccupied with that unintentional phrase she had uttered, “came home.”
He hadn’t really listened to anything else she said.
Came home…
Could it mean that she also sees this place as a home?
Lu Peijin felt that he might have some kind of mental problem recently, otherwise why would he keep thinking about Su Zhiruan and those inadvertently intimate words she said?
Su Zhiruan looked at the man before her, the son of a different realm, and involuntarily swallowed.
Should she say it or not, the normally cold and indifferent, icy when approached, and expressionless distinguished Young Master Lu Peijin.
His recent anomalies seem to be a bit too frequent, whether it was kissing her in public spaces like the elevator, or the kiss last night before going to sleep, and when she called his full name, all these made her feel that he was different from the usual Lu Peijin.
Even now it was the same; she had only said a few ordinary words. However, looking at his current demeanor, he seemed quite happy.
Su Zhiruan herself felt it quite confusing, when exactly had Lu Peijin’s sense of humor become so low.
She scratched her head and decided it was still better to put down her things and go pick up her grandmother from the hospital.
“Hold on, where are you going?” When Lu Peijin saw her leaving, he quickly took three steps at a time and caught up with her, grabbing her arm. Fearing that it might hurt her, he let go and asked, “Shall I give you a ride?”
“Thank you, Mr. Lu, but I’d better go myself. I have to pick up my grandmother from the hospital today.” Su Zhiruan didn’t plan to let Lu Peijin appear in front of her grandmother. Although they had a contract agreement, it was hard for the older generation to accept such arrangements, and she was afraid it would worry the elderly woman.
“I’m on leave today, so I’m free anyway. Why not drive you to the hospital and then take your grandmother to the apartment you rented?” As Lu Peijin spoke, he stealthily observed her expression, and then added, “You don’t have a car. It’s probably pretty hard to hail a cab now with the heavy traffic. Do you really want to let your grandmother wait outside the hospital all the time?”
After giving it some thought, Su Zhiruan agreed that he had a point. However, besides her grandmother, there was another reason she didn’t want Lu Peijin to follow. She said somewhat helplessly, “Mr. Lu, there are too many procedures at the hospital, and you’ll have to sit in a wheelchair in public, which will be inconvenient.”

“Who said I’m going to sit in a wheelchair?” Lu Peijin glanced at the wheelchair not far away and decided, “It’s settled then. I’ll just put on a mask and disguise myself a bit. Wait for me in the car.”
Having said that, he reached out and tossed a set of keys to Su Zhiruan; she had no choice but to catch them and then sit in the passenger seat of Lu Peijin’s car.
After a while, Lu Peijin was dressed up in his disguise.
During the drive, Su Zhiruan sneakily looked at him several times.
He had transformed himself into the likeness of a college student.
Lu Peijin looked young, and having just taken a shower, his hair was fluffy and soft. Wearing a light-colored baseball jacket, a black mask and black hat, and baggy pants, he didn’t look out of place standing beside her. In fact, it made them seem like a young couple in love.
Su Zhiruan’s grandmother had been personally tended to by Lu Peijin; the resources and medications used for her were the best, and the discharge process was also swift.
Lu Peijin, holding a stack of paperwork, stood at the entrance of the hospital room and overheard the conversation inside.
“Ruanruan, tell me the truth, this young man who came with you, is he the boyfriend you’ve found?” An old but affectionate voice spoke up.
“Don’t talk nonsense, grandma. He’s just passing by and came to lend a hand. He’s definitely not my boyfriend!” Su Zhiruan briskly packed her grandmother’s belongings as she denied it.
“Oh my, grandma has gotten old and can’t keep up with the thoughts of you young people,” her grandmother’s smile did not fade, still cheerful, “Ruanruan dear, if you really meet someone nice, why not consider it? I think this young man is very good, humble and polite, and he also seems very spirited, all smiles.”
Lu Peijin seemed very much alive.
Su Zhiruan shook her head to clear it.
For some reason, when her grandmother remarked on how spirited Lu Peijin looked with his cheerful smile, Su Zhiruan’s thoughts subconsciously drifted to the smile he had absentmindedly revealed that morning.
And also his smile on the couch the night before.
She just realized that at some point, the originally noble and detached prince, who seemed as unreachable as an immortal and who always wore a cold, indifferent expression, had somehow turned into a multitude of Lu Peijin’s smiling faces in her memory.
And each one was a smile that only she had seen, revealed only in her presence.
She quickly shook her head again, trying to rid her mind of the smiling Lu Peijin.
At that moment, Lu Peijin came in holding the stack of papers, all smiles.
“Good to see you, grandma.”
He greeted politely, and then turned to Su Zhiruan with a smile.
