"You want to resign?"
Lu Peijing got the news from his secretary. When he saw her coming back, he put down the book and looked at her, "Not doing it anymore?"
"I was short of money for my grandmother's medical treatment before. Now with the help of Mr. Lu, my grandmother's illness is almost cured. I resigned so that I can concentrate on fulfilling the contract." Su Zhiruan explained while sitting next to him.
There is still a long time until the end of the year. She wants to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination and has also chosen a school. During this period, she can prepare for pregnancy and the examination at the same time.
With the system, she would naturally feel more relaxed during her pregnancy. Instead of spending such a long time doing nothing, she might as well use the time to improve her academic qualifications, pass the exams, and take her grandmother to settle in another city.
"That's good," Lu Peijing stood up, stretched his muscles, and put the book aside.
Su Zhiruan watched him walk to the window sill, with a wheelchair next to him. She suddenly thought of a question, "Mr. Lu, you were not sitting in a wheelchair in the elevator today, and people saw you——"
"It's okay. I pretended to be disabled before in order to deal with some people. Now things are almost over, so it doesn't matter if I'm discovered." Lu Peijing dimmed the lights, and the entire living room suddenly became dim.
They
looked at each other, Su Zhiruan looked away unnaturally, leaned back, and
found that there was a sofa behind him.
…The sofa again.
"I wanted to let you go last night,
but I didn't expect you to have insomnia," Lu Peijing approached her step
by step, "In that case, let's try today to see if this can cure your
insomnia."
"Can we not sit on the sofa?"
Su Zhiruan knew she couldn't escape, but she didn't want to sit on the sofa, so
she blinked and signaled Lu Peijing.
She thought back to when she had
proposed this idea to Lu Peijing in the hotel before, and at that time Lu
Peijing took her to another place - the floor-to-ceiling window.
She subconsciously glanced at the French
window, and then immediately added, "Don't be in front of the window
either."
Lu Peijing nodded, but when he sat
beside her he did not move. Instead, he hugged her and asked a question that
was completely different from the current scene, "Did you eat
tonight?"
"I ate some," Su Zhiruan
didn't understand why he asked this question, so he answered truthfully,
"Mr. Lu, have you finished your meal?"
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm very
hungry now." Lu Peijing leaned on the sofa, and Su Zhiruan fell down with
him. "I want to eat what you cook."
Su Zhiruan didn't think much about it,
she just stood up and said, "Okay, wait for me for a moment."
Lu Peijing smiled faintly behind her.
Not in the French windows, not in the
sofa...
How about in the kitchen?
When Su Zhiruan felt something was
wrong, she was already in Lu Peijing's arms.
Then...
When everything was over, Su Zhiruan
felt regretful!
This is worse than a sofa! !
In the end, the meal was naturally not cooked, but she was exhausted and took a
nap on the sofa.
Lu Peijing cooked two bowls of noodles
and woke her up with a smile, "Get up and eat something. You must be
hungry now."
"...Lu Peijing," Su Zhiruan
spoke silently, and this time he did not call him Mr. Lu, but called him by his
name.
After hearing this, Lu Peijing felt a
little surprised, but it sounded very nice. It felt like the distance between
the two of them was shortened. He responded, "Hmm?"
"Can we go to the bedroom next
time?" Su Zhiruan felt that she should still give her opinion. She
couldn't really do this exciting and intense sport in such messy occasions
every time.
"Of course," Lu Peijing said
calmly. He took her to the dining table, pushed the bowl in front of her, and
handed her chopsticks. Looking at her sparkling eyes while eating noodles, he
added calmly, "Let's do it again after dinner. This time I'll listen to
you and do it in the bedroom."
"Cough cough cough!" Su
Zhiruan almost choked when she heard this. Lu Peijing handed her a glass of
water in time. She took a sip and felt much better.
It was a thrilling meal, but Su Zhiruan
finally did not escape that night, except that this time it was in Lu Peijing's
bedroom.
*
The next day, Su Zhiruan had to go to the hotel again, this time mainly to hand
over the work and take away the things she left behind.
Ever since her affair with Lu Peijing in
the elevator was discovered yesterday, she has been stared at by many of her
waiter colleagues whenever she goes to the hotel. Some of these people look at
her with envy, some with jealousy, and some with indifference.
It was not until Su Zhiruan packed up
and left that these people began to talk to each other.
"What is she? She just relies on
her looks! She's already working as a waitress. She's so young and has all the
necessary hands and feet, but she doesn't rely on herself to make a living.
Instead, she relies on her face. Sigh, the girls nowadays..." Someone
looked at her from behind with a sour look, and then said some sour words to
her good friend.
"That's right. Who knows what kind
of seductive tricks she used to seduce President Lu? I think she is the most
scheming one. Why didn't we notice it before!" Someone else said this and
stopped what he was doing, with a look of jealousy on his face.
"Okay, maybe it's consensual. Mr.
Lu is good-looking, and Su Zhiruan is not ugly either. It's a good thing for
both of them. But in my opinion, it's just for fun. A family like Mr. Lu will
definitely let him marry a lady who is well-matched."
At this time, a group of people started
to say bad things about her.
"Actually, you don't have to be so
jealous," a young girl with a low sense of presence was silent for a long
time. When everyone was saying more and more unpleasant things, she spoke. Her
voice was not loud, but many people heard it.
"Who are you? It's just that
there's a vacancy in her position and you're asking for her favor. It's
ridiculous." The woman who insulted Su Zhiruan first sneered and threw the
rag in her hand to the ground.
"When she first came in, she said
she was a college student who worked as a waitress after graduation. She must
have graduated from some fake university! Now she claims to be trying to marry
Mr. Lu, but I didn't expect that she just wants to have some fun." The
woman looked at the young girl who spoke for Su Zhiruan with a sarcastic look
on her face.
The young girl's eyes were calm and
slightly disdainful.
Then, she also dropped the broom and
spoke calmly, "Maybe she didn't think it was necessary to say it before,
so you didn't know, but now that Sister Su is leaving, I will say a few words
for her--"
"Su Zhiruan graduated from Jinghua
University. She won numerous awards while at school and published dozens of
papers. She is an extremely outstanding senior." The young girl felt
secretly happy as she watched these gradually petrified faces.
Then he continued, "If her
grandmother hadn't been sick, she would have come here to work as a waitress to
make money. Otherwise, you can imagine the value of a college student from
Jinghua University. As for Mr. Lu, I personally think that even if they were
really together, it wouldn't be a question of who is better. As long as Senior
Sister Su wants, she can definitely get a job in the system."
