Chapter 48: A Charming Man

The little boy immediately took the back seat which accommodated his small body. Cheng Liyue got in the pa.s.senger seat.

The little fellow was excited. “Yay, let's head out!”

Gong Yexiao's driving posture was charming. The way he maneuvered the car was steady and elegant. Cheng Liyue couldn't help stealing a few glances at him. Her heart was beating rapidly.

Last night's kiss abruptly came into mind. She turned to look out the window so that he would not be able to see the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

Gong Yexiao's car pulled up outside the entrance to Cheng Liyue's office. Many employees were going to work by taxi. His car stopped right outside her company like a road tyrant, drawing everyone's attention.

When Cheng Liyue got off the car, she received many peculiar looks from her colleagues which caused her cheeks to heat up. Carrying her handbag, she hurriedly entered the building, forgetting to say goodbye to the little fellow.

Gong Yexiao took the little boy to his company.

This area was part of a new urban district. It had only been three years since this area was developed. The Lu Group also occupied a plot in this area. However, in terms of grandeur, the Gong Corporation came out on top.

Lu Junxuan was driving to work today and was accompanied by Shen Junyao. She had on a dress, looking stylish and beguiling. Lu Junxuan remained unusually silent as he drove.

This made Shen Junyao felt a little strange. “What's the matter, Junxuan? Is anything wrong?”

Lu Junxuan kept his eyes on the road while contemplating whether to tell her what was on his mind.

“Junyao, I'll tell you about it in a while. But I hope you won't get angry.”

“Just say it. I will definitely not get angry!” Shen Junyao looked at him coyly.

Lu Junxuan drew the car to a halt alongside the road. Turning to look at Shen Junyao, he said, “I met Cheng Liyue at a restaurant yesterday.”

Shen Junyao widened her eyes. Feigning surprise, she replied, “Cheng Liyue? How could she possibly be here?”

“I'm pretty sure it's her. She has returned.” Lu Junxuan nodded, looking serious.

“What does her return have anything to do with us?” Shen Junyao said disapprovingly.

Lu Junxuan kept quiet for a few seconds before continuing, “Back then, it was because of her father's 15% shares that I managed to become the president. From a medium-sized enterprise to the present company having a market value of nearly 30 billion yuan, the 15% shares that she had given to me contributed a lot.”

Noticing that his tone carried a trace of guilt, her face sank. “Junxuan, what do you mean? Do not tell me you plan on giving her back that 15% shares in the Lu Group?”

Lu Junxuan's expression slightly changed. Shaking his head, he answered, “Now the 15% shares in the Lu Group is no longer the value that it was back then. I just want to give her a little compensation.”

“Junxuan, do you think she will forgive us for what we did back then? Besides, even if you planned on compensating her, she may not want it. Why do you want to go through all this trouble?” Shen Junyao tried to persuade him. Of course, she knew that Cheng Liyue had returned and even knew where she was. But she hadn't expected that her husband would run into Cheng Liyue.

Did Cheng Liyue arrange this chance encounter? Deliberately making her husband feel guilty towards her? Was this Cheng Liyue's idea of a revenge? Ruthlessness flashed in Shen Junyao's eyes.
