Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 82 - 76. Can it be called a date?

Chapter 82: 76. Can it be called a date?

What was called breakfast ended up being closer to lunchtime when finished.

In matters of housework, Mr. Lu always tossed his hands up as the hands-off manager.

After he had eaten his fill, he lounged on the sofa in the living room with one leg propped over the other, absorbed in his mobile phone.

Leaving the task of cleanup to the study sister.

He watched as Mou Keyan, wearing his shirt with sleeves rolled up and hair tied back in a ponytail, tidied up like a gentle and virtuous older sister, earnestly picking up trash, sweeping, and mopping...

She even made the messy master bedroom, with its crumpled battleground, spotlessly clean.

However, her movements were full of clumsiness, clearly revealing a little girl not particularly skilled at household chores.

This wasn’t good.

She should practice more.

Not until the sound of running water not far away had stopped and she wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, sitting next to the sofa, did her gaze on Lu Jincheng contain a few more shades of grievance.

"Tired?"

Mr. Lu wrapped an arm around the study sister’s shoulders and pulled her entire body into his embrace.

"A little."

Mou Keyan didn’t deny it.

Last night.

Dancing, do...i, halftime break.

Then today.

Woken up early in the morning, had a simple snack, and even had to do his housework!

If she hadn’t been toughened up from a young age, with a physical strength far superior to an ordinary person, she would have been out of breath after the first activity.

"You’re tired already?"

Lu Jincheng’s hand instinctively reached forward, following the shirt buttons up her shoulder and slipped right in.

"Or perhaps you do too little housework, from now on, you’ll take over."

"..."

Mou Keyan’s lips were pursed tightly, she took a deep breath, unable to utter a word for ages.

But Mr. Lu’s following words instantly caused a ripple effect in her mood.

"You don’t have anything else today, right?"

Mr. Lu asked.

"Mhm."

"If you’re not busy, don’t go back yet, come out with me for a stroll later."

"Stroll... Shopping? With me?"

Mou Keyan’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, why, don’t want to?"

The man raised an eyebrow, his forefinger hidden beneath the white shirt finally climbing near the soft snowy peaks.

With a gentle gather, slowly twisted.

"Be gentle..."

The girl’s face blushed deep red, her arched eyebrows knit in pain, but she didn’t forget to nod at him.

"I’d like that very much."

Mou Keyan wiggled free from Mr. Lu’s embrace, putting some distance between them, looking at him with a brimming smile, her eyes both startled and pleased.

"It’s just that I wasn’t expecting..."

"Expecting what?"

The man asked knowingly.

"Ask me again! I didn’t expect you to ask a colleague out shopping!"

The study sister turned away, not looking at him, and started heading towards her own backpack.

"Would you wait for me, please?"

"I want to put on some makeup."

...

...

Mr. Lu was particularly patient today.

He played with his cellphone on the sofa, allowing Mou Keyan all the time she needed before the mirror, sketching and dabbing, a good half an hour passed by.

Once he had finished with his own matters, he spent the remainder of the time observing the girl dressed attentively.

Mou Keyan changed into a white dress full of grace, with a long back and short front, half-covering her legs.

The back was open from the shoulders down, revealing a small part of her pristine back.

Bending over, one could even glimpse her waist dimple.

In her hand, she held a black necklace, toying with it at her chest, with a small and adorable swan in the middle.

"The color goes well with a white dress. Why didn’t I see you wearing it last night?"

The man, sharp-eyed, recognized it as a classic necklace from Swarovski.

"Live streaming is tricky. I was afraid people might get the wrong idea."

Mou Keyan answered softly.

She beckoned with her hand and handed over the two ends of the swan necklace; Lu Jincheng in the mirror leaned in closer.

"Help me put it on, will you~"

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll get the wrong idea?"

Mr. Lu was well-versed in the art of romance and naturally understood the unspoken implication in Mou Keyan’s words.

Most likely, this necklace had been a gift from an admirer.

Wearing such an accessory during a live broadcast indeed made it easy to give the wrong impression.

Moreover, as a broadcaster, it’s basic professional decorum not to wear clothes with visible logos easily and not to give a brand free advertising.

With Lu Jincheng, wearing it was not a problem.

On the contrary, it was an opportunity to test his reaction.

She was smart enough.

"I really don’t think you’d misunderstand because of something like this."

Mou Keyan shrugged her shoulders, lifted her hand, raising her wavy, back-length hair, revealing her slender, fair neck to him.

"How do you know that?"

Lu Jincheng stepped forward, looped the thin chain around the girl’s neck, and fastened it.

The black swan perfectly filled the gap at the neckline of the long dress, accentuating the ensemble’s finesse.

"Just kidding~"

Mou Keyan, now fully dressed up, stuck out her tongue and examined herself in the mirror again.

Though exhausted, she had to admit...

Her complexion was rosy and bright—she looked fantastic!

She tiptoed closer to the mirror, pursing her lips side to side to even out the lipstick’s color.

Then she stepped into her high heels that had been cast aside the previous night. The tiny diamonds on the shoes sparkled under the slanted rays of the sun coming through the window.

Finally, Mou Keyan flicked her hair and took Mr. Lu’s arm, her face brimming with a smile.

No woman doesn’t love herself.

Seeing the newfound radiance she exuded after being well-moistured, she couldn’t help feeling elated.

"Shall we get going?"

"Wait inside for a bit. I’ll go down and pick something up."

...

Jiangnan Garden, Building 6, Unit 2.

A BMW Mini was parked downstairs, with two familiar-looking young girls sitting inside.

"You really have no sense of the law!"

Seeing Lu Jincheng approaching from a distance, Guan Yongyi was still complaining.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to lend someone your car? They always say, ’cars and husbands are not to be lent out!’"

"But he drives quite well, what’s the problem..."

Zhou Sinin blinked her doe eyes, not quite understanding.

"If something happens while he’s borrowing it, legally speaking, you’re responsible too, you know?"

Guan Yongyi, having been informed about various cases by her family since childhood, couldn’t help poking her friend’s head in frustration.

"Okay, okay, he said he really needed it for something, so I let him borrow it just this once, okay?"

Zhou Sinin coaxed her friend with a smile, knowing she was just concerned.

"No next time! I won’t lend it to him again."

"That’s more like it. At worst, we could just have him take a taxi there and back; it’s not that much money."

Zhou Sinin didn’t reply, as if contemplating something. Watching Lu Jincheng get closer, she suddenly pushed open the car door.

"Here, take the keys!"

"Be careful how you drive, Guan Guan has warned me several times."

"Don’t worry, you know I always drive fast and steady."

Lu Jincheng smiled in the sunlight, his white teeth gleaming.

"I’m off then – coming from school was so tiring. I’ll bring it back tomorrow!"

He stepped on the gas pedal, disappearing into the breeze, whirled a couple of large circles around the complex, and then pulled out his phone.

"Come downstairs."

"The one at the entrance here, the red Mini."
