Lin Si hurriedly got up, tidied up her emotions, and smiled gently and charmingly, "President Lu..."
Lu Yanming coldly and cleanly interrupted, "Go busy yourself."
Lin Si's original intention to build a better relationship with Lu Yanming was abruptly stopped.
She reluctantly left.
After walking a few steps, she looked back. Assistant Fei put the chair down and President Lu sat next to Li Zhen.
Lu Yanming was dressed in a light gray suit, noble and cold, with a mellow temperament like an aloof flower on a high mountain that could never be picked by anyone.
But at this moment, sitting together with the carefully dressed Li Zhen, he was shockingly well-matched.
When Lu Yanming came in, he was silent, but his presence was like a magnetic field. The people in the studio who were busy couldn't help but look at him.
They were all lamenting that Li Zhen, who could lazily lounge about at this moment, was the only one in the advertising department who could be with him.
"Li Zhen is so miserable, President Lu must have scolded her..."
"I guess so. President Lu is talking to Li Zhen, and Li Zhen's expression is clearly evasive."
"I can read their lips. President Lu is scolding Li Zhen."
Zhang Xiya, who was nearby looking for clothes to change into for the next set, just shook her head as she listened.
My sisters really don't have much experience!
-
Li Zhen held her milk tea and slowly drank it, her body unconsciously leaning to the other side, trying to stay away from Lu Yanming.
Lu Yanming's presence was always strong. With his broad shoulders and long legs, his height of nearly 1.9 meters sitting next to her invaded her with a faint woody scent.
"Why don't you answer?" Lu Yanming's low voice was surprisingly clear in the noisy studio.
"President Lu, I'm very busy and have no time." Li Zhen originally thought that by staying silent, he could understand what she meant.
She didn't expect that he would continue to ask.
She was even more surprised that as soon as he sat down, he would directly ask her if she could go home with him because he had something to show her.
"You seem quite free now, drinking milk tea, doesn't seem like you have no time." Lu Yanming said with a teasing smile.
Li Zhen cleared her throat. "President Lu, I didn't want to say this so bluntly. I wanted to set aside time to discuss this with you privately someday, but since you've asked me, I have no choice but to be straightforward. About the fake marriage to help you... "
Lu Yanming gently interrupted in a soft voice, self-deprecating with a shallow laugh, "It's okay, if you're dissatisfied with anything about the fake marriage, just mention it. As long as you don't divorce, that's fine. Of course, I believe you won't stop helping me to the end, after all, I'm not good with words, and I don't have any female friends. Apart from you, no one else is willing to help me..."
Li Zhen: ...
"If you don't help me anymore, I will be forced into an arranged marriage by my family and forced to marry someone I don't love. I will live a hopeless marriage. Such a life is no different from hell..." Lu Yanming coughed and there was a hint of indescribable sadness in his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses. "Such a life, how is it different from the human purgatory..."
Li Zhen: ...
Lu Yanming is excellent, but he does seem to have little interaction with other girls.
Li Zhen wanted to talk about divorce, but the words were stuck in her throat.
Assistant Fei picked his ears.
It's a great loss to the performing arts industry that the young master doesn't act.
He couldn't stand to listen anymore, it was too cheesy.
He took out his phone and played games instead.
"But you using me to shield yourself from your family is not a long-term solution..." Li Zhen pursed her lips, feeling conflicted inwardly.
She was angry that he had secretly investigated her, but he had also sincerely stayed up all night to make a PPT to apologize, and it seemed difficult to stay angry after so long that she had almost forgotten about it.
But to disregard the past and continue helping him seemed like a bottomless pit, there was no telling how long she would have to help him.
Lost in thought, the straw of Li Zhen's milk tea suddenly poked her on the nose.
A white dot of milk was stuck on the tip of her nose.
Just as Li Zhen was about to wipe it off, Lu Yanming had already raised his hand. His distinct knuckles lightly wiped away the milk stain with captivating warmth.
"Zhen Zhen, it could also be a long-term solution."
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment. By the time Lu Yanming retracted his hand and wiped his fingertips clean with a tissue, she reacted to what he meant by those words.
Li Zhen hurriedly said, "President Lu, you may not be wanted, but I am wanted!"
She will have her baby in the future, and her grandpa will always be with her, not like the lonely Lu Yanming!
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, it seemed like the man in front of her eyes suddenly turned cold for an instant.
But she wasn't sure if it was her imagination.
Because it only lasted a second.
One second later, the Lu Yanming in front of her was gentle and smiling again, aloof and indifferent. "Zhen Zhen, who are you referring to that wants you?"
"President Yu?" he asked.
Just as Li Zhen was about to answer no, her phone suddenly rang.
Zhang Xiya: 【Ancestor! Go flirt somewhere else!】
Zhang Xiya: 【The photo of President Lu wiping your nose has been captured by those quick-handed freaks! It's been spread to the Macho Feast chat group! 】
Zhang Xiya: 【The group has exploded!】
What!
Li Zhen's heart suddenly started beating wildly.
She had spent too much private time with Lu Yanming and was used to interacting with him. She didn't react in time to avoid suspicion just now!
Zhang Xiya sent her screenshots of the chat in the group.
【It's confirmed! Family!】
【Sis, this candid shot is perfect, so beautiful.】
【They're a perfect match indeed!】
【Why am I never online for the first-hand gossip!】
【No, my President Lu! I won't accept him belonging to anyone!】
Then there were a few messages from Zhang Xiya in the group.
Zhang Xiya: 【Actually, President Lu cares about all subordinates very much. President Lu has also wiped my nose before, very normal, very normal.】
Zhang Xiya:【President Lu is just that nice.】
Zhang Xiya inwardly: She has to go all out for little Zhen Zhen to avoid office romance rumors.
But the stream of unified responses below were:
【President Lu wiped your nose? Don't believe it.】
【Don't believe it.】
【Don't believe it +1...】
【Xiya, President Lu wiped your nose? That would be such a beautiful picture, I dare not imagine!】
Zhang Xiya: ...
The damage was minor, but the insult was extreme.
Why can't President Lu wipe her nose too!
Li Zhen couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't dare imagine what kind of gossip it would evolve into next.
She hurriedly got up, wanting to get away from Lu Yanming quickly.
But as soon as she stood up, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Lu Yanming, blocking her way.
Li Zhen was so shocked that her scalp tingled. "President Lu, there are so many people here!"
"Zhen Zhen, your back..." There was a strange look on Lu Yanming's face, his gaze falling behind Li Zhen.
Only after Lu Yanming said this did Li Zhen feel the sticky wetness and realized it was bad...
Could it be?
Did her period come early, like she had heard that girls' cycles changed the month after their first time? It was happening to her?
Li Zhen immediately froze, not daring to move in the studio full of people.
The next second.
The large suit jacket was draped over her slender back, covering the red stain on her back that she didn't want anyone to see.
She turned her head and looked at Lu Yanming, who was very close to her because he had put the jacket on her.
The distance between them was very small.
The surrounding sounds were noisy.
But Li Zhen heard her own sigh.
It's over, they must have been photographed again...
