Chapter 694 Should I just go back? (1/2)
As Yue Ling drove back to De L'amour, not too far from where she had met Jiang Shengyi for lunch, Lu Tian had just finished a meeting with one of his businesses.
He steps out from a dark building with Jiangyu and Shaofeng. He pauses in his steps and turns to face the person behind him.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a light grey suit. He had a thin line of mustache that made his appearance seemingly older with sharp eyebrows. If one were to see him, one would think him similar to Jafar.
However, despite his evil and sinister appearance, Lu Tian kept a calm composure as he looks at the man.
”Manager He, I hope you will keep this meeting confidential until the next meeting day.”
Manager He looks up at the tall young man. He had a natural frown that made him look like he disliked everything in the entire world. However, when he heard Lu Tian's words, his eyes closed, and a heartfelt chuckle sounds from him.
”CEO Lu need not worry about this. My lips are sealed like how my mustache is glued to my face.”
”…”
Lu Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the middle-aged man. He slightly creases his brows and decides to stare at the man for a long second. He swore Manager He's smile was one that can give a child nightmare for many years.
However, what can he say? Despite Manager He's facial expression being one that can scare a ghost away, it was natural, and he was not evil.
After all, if he was, his (Manager He) four-year-old daughter would be afraid of her father.
Brushing these thoughts aside, Lu Tian smiles an unnoticeable smile.
”Due to Assistant Xu's absence, I pushed the meeting date to today. I hope you do not mind.”
Hearing his words that held no emotion, Manager He laughs again. He gestures a wave of his palms and shakes his head.
”Aiya, no need to apologize. Coming here is truly this company's good fortune. After all, our CEO Lu has a busy schedule now that he is finally engaged.”
The other day, he received a phone call from Xu Long stating that Lu Tian was going to personally visit the company he manages. Although there were still a few days, he did not mind that Lu Tian would push the date.
Thinking this, he remembers something and leans forward as if to tell Lu Tian a secret.
”What about your mother? Will we be keeping this matter from her?”
Lu Tian knew this question was going to be brought up sooner or later. Especially when Manager He is one of his mother's people and someone she trusts without every questioning.
He glances at the middle-aged man then back at the dark building. He ponders in his thoughts for a quick second then turns away.
”Keep this from her.”
Manager He stares at Lu Tian's departing figure and he exhales sharply. He turns around and walks towards the building again.
He is one of the few people who watched Lu Tian and Lu Han grow up. He can be considered their manny.
Even though Lu Tian is an adult now, he is still the same as when he was young. Never wanting to trouble his parents with anything.
However, thinking about how Lu Tian is keeping this matter from Madam Lu, he (Manager He) can only heave a long sigh again.
”Madam Lu will be furious if she ever finds out about this.”
Lu Tian enters the backseat of a black car as Jiangyu and Shaofeng enter the driver and passenger seats. As the car drives away from the building, he glances out the window and couldn't help but let his thoughts drift to his wife.
Has she eaten? How is she doing? Do her legs hurt?
After they returned from the lake, he didn't hold back and used his stamina on her again. However, he knew not to get too carried away as she had to work in the morning.
When morning came and he kissed her before leaving for work, he saw her exhausted face and he felt a wave of guilt wash inside him.
Wanting to make it up to her, he wanted to take her somewhere for a nice lunch. However, she called to tell him that she was meeting someone for lunch to discuss work matters.
He heaves a deep sigh and looks away from the window. Glancing at Jiangyu who was driving, he lightly shakes his head.
