Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: No Cheating

A morning passed in a daze, and lunch was also settled with takeout in the office.

After sorting out the lunchbox, she found new messages on her phone. Opening it, she saw it was from Lu Jinyang, a brief sentence: Stop getting too close to the one surnamed Si.

Zhuang Shuqing’s mouth twitched fiercely, NND, who exactly is getting close to whom!

She typed an "Oh," but then thought it made her seem too compliant, and decisively deleted it.

After pondering, she retyped a message: Can I ask you a few questions?

Perhaps he was free, as he replied very quickly with a simple "Hmm."

Zhuang Shuqing immediately smiled, since she couldn’t ask in person, she could still ask through text!

She dialed Lu Jinyang’s number, and when the call connected, she said sweetly, "Na, you said you’d answer my questions, no going back on your word."

On the other end, Lu Jinyang had just finished his work, standing at the door of the regimental commander’s office answering the call, and hearing the cheerful female voice on the phone, his displeasure was instantly swept away.

"Alright, go ahead."

Zhuang Shuqing immediately took out paper and pen, "Ahem, first question, may I ask Mr. Lu Jinyang, how many women have you liked the most in your life?"

"One."

"Ah? Just one?"

"Miss Zhuang, you’re asking about the one I liked the most."

Using "most" doesn’t it mean the only one?

Zhuang Shuqing felt awkward, but continued with the second question, "May I ask Mr. Lu Jinyang, have you ever thought about retiring?"

There was silence on the other end, for a long, long time, so long that Zhuang Shuqing almost thought he wouldn’t answer, then she heard his voice.

"Yes."

"May I ask what made you consider retiring?"

"You–"

Beep beep beep...

The call was suddenly disconnected, and Zhuang Shuqing stared at her phone in astonishment, it really hung up!

She rolled her eyes helplessly, he said he’d answer, but after only three questions, he stopped cooperating.

She flipped through the questionnaire and saw all the questions were about Lu Jinyang’s private life. A full head of black lines emerged, she guessed this must be a trap Gu Chen had set up for the two of them.

She didn’t believe Gu Chen would actually publish this stuff. With Lu Jinyang’s personality, he wouldn’t let it slide without skinning someone alive.

In the end, she decided to wait for Lu Jinyang to come back and toss the questionnaire to him, letting him deal with it.

After work in the afternoon, Zhuang Shuqing was packing up when a colleague came over to tell her someone was waiting for her downstairs.

Remembering Qin Huaixin had called her at noon, she quickly packed up her belongings and ran down, only to find nobody there, let alone Qin Huaixin.

She walked out with her bag slung over her shoulder, her eyes scanning around.

"Shuqing."

A somewhat familiar male voice sounded behind her, taking her by surprise.

"Shuqing, I’ve finally waited for you."

Under Zhuang Shuqing’s deadly glare, Si Nanchen walked over slowly, his face adorned with a roguish smile, which didn’t match with the well-tailored suit on him.

With just one glance, Zhuang Shuqing turned away indifferently.

"Hey, wait up~"

Si Nanchen felt really frustrated, although the injuries on his face had healed, he still had many unseen wounds. That man named Leng Yixing specifically targeted the invisible spots on his body, while Gu Chen played around when hitting him, punch after punch without any pattern.

Fortunately, Li Yan was there; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to show his face outside today.

The more urgently the man behind her called out, the faster Zhuang Shuqing walked away.

Her subconscious told her that something must have happened with this man from the time he sent her flowers to now, otherwise he wouldn’t be here to block her.
