Chapter 274 The Loser's Appointment
Chapter 274 The Loser's Appointment
In the high-end French restaurant, the soft warm lighting makes Chen Xiaolin's soft and delicate facial features more charming. The makeup on her face is light and elegant, and she is wearing a professional shirt and trousers, but it does not conceal her slender but curvy figure.
With her shirt tucked into her trousers, her waist looks particularly slender and soft. Although she is not very tall, her body proportions are in no way inferior to those of his wife Luo Yayin, who is a model.
However, Lu Yiheng felt that compared with Luo Yayin's petite frame, her soft and voluptuous figure was more endearing. Moreover, Luo Yayin's model figure had gradually disappeared after her marriage. Being fat made her tall and big-framed look very bloated and bulky.
"Why don't you eat?" Chen Xiaolin asked politely.
Lu Yiheng retracted his gaze and lowered his head to cut the steak. "Maybe the person opposite is too beautiful to be eaten."
He put a piece of tender steak on the fork and looked directly at Chen Xiaolin. "After so many years, you haven't changed at all. You are still as beautiful and intelligent as ever."
Chen Xiaolin saw him looking at her while putting the steak into his mouth and chewing it carefully. She couldn't help but stop eating. She had to say that the children of the Lu family were good-looking. She looked at Lu Yiheng for a moment and said:
"Brother Yiheng is becoming more and more like a leader. After Xingchen left the Lu family, a lot of the burden should have fallen on you, right?"
This topic made Lu Yiheng raise his eyebrows, then he put down his knife and fork and took a sip of the wine beside him, "How is your relationship with Xingchen? You both work at Zhencheng, so you should visit each other often."
Chen Xiaolin: "After she opened her own company, she worked much less. She was too busy."
"I don't know why she wants to start her own company. Wouldn't it be better for her to go back to Lu Corporation?" He said this, but he was actually asking Chen Xiaolin.
Chen Xiaolin thought for a moment and said, "I actually asked her this question, but she said she didn't want to go back to Lu's."
"Did she say that?"
"Well, if I go back, neither you nor anyone else in the family will be happy."
"Heh." Lu Yiheng smiled and said nothing more.
Chen Xiaolin continued, "But Uncle Lu seems to want her to go back. You know, Xingchen and Uncle Lu have a deep relationship. She should also be considering returning to the Lu family because of this."
Lu Yiheng's eyes turned cold when he heard this.
Chen Xiaolin lowered her head to eat. "But she hasn't been in Lu's company for these years. She probably doesn't know as much about Lu's operations as you do. Unless Uncle Lu asks her to, she probably won't interfere with Lu's operations."
Lu Yiheng felt that this topic had ruined his good mood again, so he changed the subject and said, "She has been talked about enough at the bidding site just now. Let's not talk about her while we eat. Let's talk about you. Are you happy working at Zhencheng?"
"It's okay, but I lost the bid this time, so it might be hard to get a promotion this year."
"If you are not happy with your job, Huiguang welcomes you at any time. It is not a problem for you to join the group headquarters. You have the ability to do so."
"Thank you."
"What about your boyfriend? Do you have a boyfriend now?"
When asked this question, Chen Xiaolin said helplessly: "I am busy in front of the computer all day long, so I don't have time to have a boyfriend."
"Your standards are too high. A beauty like you should have no shortage of suitors."
"Then if I told you that I have been single since birth, wouldn't you believe it even less?"
"You mean, you've never had a boyfriend?" Lu Yiheng asked as if he had heard some good news.
Chen Xiaolin did not deny it directly but replied: "So, you are the only one who thinks I have no shortage of suitors."
Lu Yiheng glanced at her again without leaving a trace. At this moment, he was in a good mood and picked up the goblet on the table and took a sip of red wine. "If that's the case, it's because you put your heart into your career. If you are willing, I don't know how many handsome guys will compete for you. Girls still need to find a boyfriend to love you."
Chen Xiaolin smiled politely, "I'm not Sister Ya Yin. With a good man like you loving me, I can be carefree as long as I stay at home to take care of my husband and children. By the way, how many babies do you have now?"
When she asked this, Lu Yiheng also smiled, but she always knew that he was married and had children, so he put down his glass and replied: "The youngest son is just ten months old, and he has two older sisters and a brother."
Chen Xiaolin smiled and gave her blessing: "Although giving birth is very hard, Sister Yayin must be very happy, after all, she has a husband like you who loves her."
It would be fine if others said so, but Chen Xiaolin said he loved Luo Yayin. Lu Yiheng smiled helplessly, "I think outsiders think so, but..."
He didn't go on.
Chen Xiaolin: “Just what?”
Lu Yiheng: "You don't know because you've never been married. Marriage is full of trivialities. Besides, I married Luo Yayin out of love."
Chen Xiaolin was a little surprised: "Really? I thought you were in love at the time and got married."
Lu Yiheng looked at her at this time and said, "Did you say that on purpose?"
Chen Xiaolin looked puzzled: "Huh?"
Lu Yiheng held her gaze and said bluntly: "At that time, wasn't it you that I loved? Not only at that time, I have always had you in my heart."
Chen Xiaolin was stunned for a long while, then stood up: "I'm sorry, Brother Yiheng, I..." Just then her phone rang, she looked down and immediately picked it up and said, "My boss called me, probably about the bidding, so I'll leave first."
Chen Xiaolin was so scared that she left the restaurant after answering the phone. Lu Yiheng looked at her frightened slender back for a long time, pulled a complicated smile at the corner of his mouth, and picked up the red wine on the table and drank it.
Chen Xiaolin walked out of the restaurant and answered Zhou Shuheng's call, "Hello, Minister Zhou."
Zhou Shuheng: "Where are you? I didn't see you in the garage, so I thought you went back to the company first."
Chen Xiaolin smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm a little hungry and came out to eat something. I'm going back to the company right now."
Zhou Shuheng: "I'm not in a hurry for you to return to the company, it's just...are you okay? I mean, you really don't have to blame yourself for the bidding results. This is a matter of our entire team. It's not like you said that the company lost because of you...Xiaolin, Xiaolin, are you crying?"
"No... I'm sorry, Minister." She sniffed and smiled, "I'm really fine. I'll go back to the company right away."
"If you don't want to go back to the company now, take a rest in the afternoon. Otherwise, tell me where you are and I'll find you."
"No, I'll go back to the company right now." Chen Xiaolin hung up the phone, stood there for a moment, looked back at the restaurant, and then walked towards her car, and her car was heading towards Zhencheng Company.
During the last two days of the National Day holiday, Zhixing Company ended the pre-holiday working days with busy schedule.
After Lu Xingchen finished processing the documents submitted by various departments, she returned home after eleven o'clock in the evening. It was not until she reached the door that she realized that Lin Huanxi had asked her to use the car today. She had separated the car keys from the keys at home and left them in the office without bringing them back.
She rang the doorbell for a while but no one answered. She took out her phone and called Xu Fanghua, "Mom, are you not home?"
Xu Fanghua sounded in a good mood: "I'm going to meet a friend tomorrow. The place is closer to your Aunt Yaning, so I'm staying here tonight. What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I just can't get into the house because I don't have my keys."
"Then Aunt Zhang and I will go back now."
"Do not bother."
"What about you?"
"I know the password to Li Zhen's house. He's not at home anyway, so I can stay at his place for a night."
"That's fine." With Lu Xingchen accompanying Li Zhen in the hospital and lying that he was staying at Li Zhen's house, Xu Fanghua assumed that they were in a relationship where they could visit each other and sleep together, so before hanging up the phone, she teased him in an ambiguous way, "What do you mean he's not here anyway? It sounds like you wouldn't go if he was here."
Lu Xingchen: “…”
I won't explain it anymore, it's already unclear anyway.
