Chapter 43 (1/2)

At noon, Cheng Liyue was busy making the adjustments to her design until her head hurt. Shen Junyao's request did not conform to the standards. There were still many areas that needed revision.

Around twelve, Linda knocked on her office door and said to her, “Liyue, let's go have lunch together.”

“I'll just eat at the cafeteria.” Cheng Liyue lifted her head to reply.

Linda looked at her, feeling sorry. “No. I haven't treated you to a meal since you came back. Let's go! Lunch is on me.”

Unable to turn down her generosity, Cheng Liyue stood to her feet and picked up her handbag and followed Linda out. In just four years, the city had developed rapidly and had changed a lot.

Walking to the parking lot, Linda abruptly halted in her steps. “I left my car keys on the table!”

“It's lunch time. It would be troublesome to wait for the elevator.” She let out a laugh. “I happened to drive to work today. I'll drive.”

Linda was surprised. “You've bought a car!”

Cheng Liyue explained sheepishly, “A friend temporarily lent it to me.”

“Okay then, we'll take yours.” Linda responded.

Walking into the parking lot, Cheng Liyue took out the key and pressed the unlock b.u.t.ton. The sound of the car being unlocked rang crisply through the air. Linda raised her head and saw the lights to a white Bugatti sports car flashed.

“This one?” Linda's eyes rounded in shock.

Cheng Liyue bit her lower lip and replied, “En! My friend is quite wealthy.”

“You mean extremely wealthy! Going as far as to lend you a sports car.” Clicking her tongue, Linda opened the door to the pa.s.senger seat and got in.

Cheng Liyue started the car and drove out of the parking lot. Linda who was sitting beside her was delighted. “How smooth!”

Cheng Liyue had on an awkward smile. This was Gong Yexiao's car. She was somewhat embarra.s.sed to drive it.

Under Linda's direction, they arrived at the entrance of a fancy restaurant. The car was directed to the VIP parking lot. It was probably because of the car that they received special treatment.

Linda felt honored. Getting out of the car, the two of them walked into the restaurant. The refined ambience here suited its high-end clientele.

After making their orders, Cheng Liyue and Linda discussed business. Time flew by. Around half past one, both of them were done with their meal and were ready to leave.

“Linda, give me a minute. I'll make a quick run to the washroom. Some oil got onto my hands, I need to rinse it off.” Cheng Liyue handed Linda her handbag.

Linda took it. Cheng Liyue went straight to the washroom to rinse her hands. After she was done, she wiped her hands with a paper towel and exited the washroom with her head lowered.

Coincidentally, a person from the the men's washroom also came out, and the two almost collided into each other.

“I'm sorry.” Cheng Liyue promptly apologized. She raised her head to look up at the man who she had almost b.u.mped into. The man looked at her and their eyes met.

The expression on Cheng Liyue's face changed instantly. It was Lu Junxuan.

Lu Junxuan was also surprised. He hadn't expected to meet Cheng Liyue in a restaurant. After four years, he had almost forgotten the existence of this woman. Unexpectedly, they came across each other.

The present Cheng Liyue was elegantly dressed in a suit, giving off an air of competence. Her hair was tied back in a sleek ponytail revealing an exquisite, clear and bright face, and a calm gaze. She now exuded a charm that she had lacked four years ago when she was a frail girl.

Lu Junxuan's eyes widened.

Cheng Liyue was more than eager to leave. Lu Junxuan's hand suddenly clasped her arm and said in a low voice, “Cheng Liyue.”

“Let go.” Cheng Liyue's voice was sharp and cold.
