Chapter 5 Good to see you too, Mr. Lu. (1/2)

”So I can talk to you inside my mind?” Lexi inquired inwardly.

”Yes, chu~!” Churu, on the other hand, admitted without batting an eye. For some reason, Lexi only shot her a quick glance but she didn't say anything.

”Where are we going chu~?”

'None of your business.' Lexi's steps never faltered until she arrived in front of her father's study.

Exhaling deeply, she knocked lightly. After a few knocks, she heard her father's stern and dignified voice come through.

”Come in.”

Lexi briefly raised her brows before entering her father's silent study room. There was a huge family portrait hung on the wall behind her father's desk, bookshelves on the wall, a set of sofas and a small table in the middle.

Staring straight at Frederick Yang, Lexi pursed her lips in a thin line. By the looks of her father that seemed to age overnight, Lexi guessed that their company was in a much dire situation and if the problem would not be resolved, they will soon declare bankruptcy.

Mustering her courage, Lexi sternly proposed. ”Dad, will you let me help you save our company?”

Upon hearing his daughter, Frederick Yang slightly flinched as his eyes dilated as he stared back at her earnest gaze. For a moment, Father Yang doubted his ears. However, Lexi's expression confirmed that he heard her right.

”Lexi, my daughter… you don't have to force yourself— you can't.” Father Yang sighed heavily. Although he was glad that his daughter wanted to help him salvage their company, but, with her current state of mind and everyone was blaming her for this crisis— he didn't want to pressure her.

Therefore, despite that his daughter was a competent woman, he was afraid that after that suicide attempt— the pressure would trigger her again to have such thoughts.

”I am alright, Dad. I know it was my fault… let me fix this mess I caused.” This time, Lexi's eyes were much determined with a strong resolution in saving their company. ”Also, I can't just stay here all-day— it's killing me.”

Father Yang stared back at her momentarily before sighing in defeat. Indeed, Lexi never left her room and this was her first time going to him. Thus, he was conflicted to decide. This was his daughter after all— she may be made a fool out of herself for chasing a man but, Frederick Yang had always been confident about her judgment and brains— not because she was his daughter but because Lexi proved herself many times before she has gone mad in love Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”*sigh* Just this one, but, you have to promise me you will never, ever try to take your life again.”

Lexi smiled brightly receiving her father's approval. She chuckled even more when she heard his last remarks. Hence, to reassure him that she regretted that suicide part, Lexi wordlessly approached her father and hugged his neck from behind his black, expensive chair.

”I won't, I swear.”

”*sigh* Silly girl… you'd be the death of me.” Father Yang murmured as he patted her slender arms that were wrapped around his neck— still unhappy about his only daughter's suicide attempt two weeks ago.

”Where are we going, chu~?” Churu popped out of nowhere on the passenger seat like a mushroom that appeared just anywhere.

Currently, Lexi was wordlessly driving her own luxury car towards a certain destination and when Churu suddenly broke her peace, she almost stepped on the brake. ”Tsk, can you not do that?!”

”Chu?” Tilting her head on the side, Churu was clueless on Lexi's dissatisfaction as she just arrived and she did nothing wrong... or what she believed.

”Tss, just don't appear out of thin air and surprise me.” Shaking her head sideways, Lexi had the urge to pinch this dumpling on the front passenger seat as she always spoke as if she knew nothing.
