Chapter 246: Extra - Lu Chenzhou And Cheng Xi: I’m Only Happy When Im With You I (2/2)

After all, the reason why Lu Chenzhou could act so childish in front of her was because he trusted her. He had never shirked any of his responsibilities, not even Donglai. After their honeymoon, he had stormed back into the company through a forceful takeover, publicly admitted the problem with their vaccine, acknowledged the misdeeds committed by Donglai’s management, and then publicly apologized while also promising to compensate all of the children and families that had been affected by the incident. Then, Lu Chenzhou began a thorough audit of the company, including all of their current products. This entire process was made transparent to the public, and he even recruited unbiased volunteers for the audit.

And lastly, Donglai had to accept the huge fine levied by the government—though, the only reason why they were able to get away with just a fine was because the problem hadn’t been very widespread. Otherwise, just a fine would be nowhere near enough.

This series of actions finally brought Donglai some breathing room, but it almost bankrupted the company in the process.

In the end, it was Cai Yi who saved Donglai. Her research had been prospering after her breakthrough, and her announcement that she was collaborating with Donglai to develop new medication to curb depression breathed new life into the company.

In the three years after the scandal, Donglai steadily recovered and rebuilt itself. Although it couldn’t quite reach its previous peak performance, its reputation soared within the industry as the company had pared down its nonessential ventures and streamlined its workflow, essentially transitioning into a specialized manufacturing company.

Lu Chenzhou fell asleep in the beginning of the flight. When he woke up, he saw Cheng Xi browsing through some of Donglai’s documents. He sat up a little straighter and hugged her. “Why’re you looking at this?”

She smiled at him. “Of course it’s because I want to know what you’ve been doing all these years. And I don’t want to hear about how wonderful and talented you are from someone else.”

Lu Chenzhou took the tablet from her as he kissed her lips. “I can tell you all of those things myself.” He kissed her again before saying, “Cheng Xi, I know that I don’t like to talk, but in the future, I’ll do my best to let you know about the things that I want to do and have done. If you want me to do anything else, then just please tell me, alright?”

He also added on, “I don’t know how to love people, but I’ll do my best to learn to love you.”

A few years ago, he had said something similar to this. In truth, over all of these years, he had worked hard to fulfill this promise.

Cheng Xi smiled as she caressed his face. “Alright. My legs are numb because you’ve been sleeping on them, so will you help me massage them?”

“......”

He sighed, leaned down, and started squeezing her legs in a rough and untrained manner. His ministrations only made Cheng Xi itchy, and she couldn’t stop herself from giggling lightly. Then, she hurriedly grabbed his hands. “Alright, alright. It’s not numb anymore.”

She leaned down slightly, causing her upper body to rest against his shoulder as she laughed so hard that her face turned slightly red. Lu Chenzhou kissed her lips softly, and then deepened the kiss.

Cheng Xi was a little embarrassed by the public display of affection, but she couldn’t break free. In the end, she closed her eyes and did her best to pretend that nobody could see them.

Her wish nearly came true; Chen Jiaman had fallen asleep, and the attendants had been instructed not to disturb them. If they did enter, however, then they would have seen a cloyingly sweet sight, beautiful and warm. A handsome man and a beautiful woman were smiling and eyeing each other as if they were characters in a children’s fairytale.

In the past, Lu Chenzhou hated travelling, but now, being on the road with Cheng Xi was one of his favorite ways to spend his time. Afterall, it was only then that she belonged solely to him.

After the plane landed, Cheng Xi was once again surrounded by a crowd of people who had come to welcome her, pushing Mr. Lu away from her. Chen Jiaman, that terrible lass, had long since lost her fear of him after a few words from Cheng Xi. When she saw Lu Chenzhou being separated from Cheng Xi, since she hated seeing him occupy all of Cheng Xi’s time, she naturally mocked, “Is your heart aching? You’re not the only one by Mom’s side anymore.”

“......”

Lu Chenzhou vowed to give birth to a daughter to lower Chen Jiaman’s importance in Cheng Xi’s heart!!!
