Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“All!”
A scream accompanied the sudden opening of the door.
In the office, a young and beautiful woman, her figure accentuated by a tight-fitting uniform, was leaning over Lu Si.
Hearing the commotion at the door, she turned her head in surprise.
And Lu Si’s right hand was still resting on the slender waist of the woman.
The impact of this scene was quite substantial, even Lu Yan couldn’t help but be stunned. Soon, his eyes were filled with ecstasy.
Ignoring Jiang He’s attempt to stop him, he quickly walked into the office and provocatively said, “Uncle, sorry to interrupt your fun. It’s not the best time for me and Shu’er to come.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Lu Si quickly pushed away the woman who was still clinging to him and fumbled to straighten his disheveled suit. “Mei Shu, don’t misunderstand. It was just an accident.”
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, a smile on her face that didn’t reach her eyes. “Oh? It seems we really came at an inopportune time. We unexpectedly encountered such a rare accident.”
Her sarcastic words made Lu Si frown, “I’m telling the truth. I can explain what happened just now!”
“Mr. Lu…” The young secretary blushed shyly, looking at him with affectionate eyes. “I didn’t mean to. 1 caused trouble for you. Should 1 explain to this young lady?”
“You have no right to speak here!” Jiang He was afraid that this unruly girl would say something earth-shattering, so he quickly scolded her and led her out.
The office door closed again, and the atmosphere inside became heavy.
Lu Si walked from behind the desk and stood in front of Mei Shu, his gaze eager. “Shu Er, there really is nothing between her and me. She’s a secretary who just started today. I don’t even know her name! Just now, I asked Jiang He to bring me a cup of coffee. I had no idea it would be her!”
“Uncle, you really should remember people’s names first!” Lu Yan took the opportunity to sarcastically say.
Lu Si’s brows furrowed, and his tone became more severe. “All Yan, go out first. 1 have something to talk to Shu’er alone.”
“Uncle, Shu’er came with me. It’s not good to leave her alone here, right?”
Lu Yan, with a smiling face, automatically included Mei Shu in his circle.
Lu Si squinted at him, “I told you to go out. You can come in later!”
“Okay.” This time, Lu Yan didn’t resist and agreed readily. However, as he passed by Mei Shu, he deliberately lowered his voice to remind her, “Shu’er, my uncle’s hand just touched someone else’s waist. It’s unhygienic. Don’t let him touch you!”
With some distance between them, Lu Si couldn’t hear clearly what he said. However, watching the two acting intimately as if no one else was present, Lu Si couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Admittedly, Mei Shu treated Lu Yan really specially.
After Lu Yan left, Lu Si reluctantly suppressed the jealousy in his heart, walked up to Mei Shu, and reached out to grab her hand.
Mei Shu sidestepped, skillfully avoiding him. “I can walk by myself.”
Lu Si’s hand froze in mid-air for a while before he chuckled self-deprecatingly, clenched his fist, and followed her to sit on the sofa.
“Shu’er, about what happened just now…”
“It’s a misunderstanding, I understand.” Mei Shu interrupted him, looking at him steadily. “You don’t need to explain so much to me. We are not in a romantic relationship.”
“But 1 don’t want you to misunderstand. 1 have a mouth, so 1 should explain what happened to you. I don’t care whether you want to hear it or not.” Lu Si also became resolute. He grabbed Mei Shu’s wrist with a forceful attitude, speaking to her with a tone of command. “I don’t want an insignificant person to affect the potential development of our relationship.”
With him taking a tough stance, Mei Shu’s anger miraculously diminished. However, she still retorted without good humor, “What kind of relationship are we going to develop?”
“You know!” Lu Si leaned in closer, deliberately lowering his voice to whisper in her ear. “Shu’er, don’t use such a distant tone with me. My heart is breaking. You know I only like you.”
“Keep your distance!” Mei Shu raised her hand to push him away uncomfortably.
The warm breath near her ear kept teasing her nerves, causing shivers throughout her body.
Even from her tone, Lu Si could tell that she was not as angry anymore.
He chuckled, his magnetic voice sounding pleased, “Shu’er, you care about me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be throwing a tantrum at me.”
“I didn’t.” Mei Shu denied categorically.
But Lu Si suddenly created some distance, locking eyes with her. “Shu’er, I’m very pleased.”
“I’m leaving. You can continue cuddling with your secretary!” Mei Shu blushed and tried to leave.
However, as soon as the words were out, she realized it sounded like she was quarreling with her boyfriend.
How could Lu Si let go of such a good opportunity? He grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, with his chin resting in the crook of her shoulder, and whispered, “Shu’er, my embrace is only for you..”
