Chapter 725 I am the rightful owner (1/2)

The atmosphere inside Cloth Co.'s conference room was divided into two different moods. On one side, the air around Yue Ling and Madam Lu was full of brightness like the sun was hovering above them. On the opposite side of them, Lu Tian sat with his usual indifference, but the air was grim and dark. It was like grey clouds had floated above him.

However, if one were to look closely, one can see a vexed expression on his face.

Lu Tian was in utter disbelief at the scene that unfolded in front of him. A few seconds ago, his mother was throwing a huge fit and now, she's suddenly turned into the world's sweetest and kindest mother.

He closes his eyes and massages his forehead in frustration. This was another reason why he didn't want to inform his mother about the meeting. Knowing how much she (Madam Lu) adores his wife, his mother will no doubt turn this meeting into one of those meetings women like to drink tea and chitchat for hours.

However, remembering his mother's words about his wife's hands, he opens his eyes and stares straight at her.

”Manager He, is the heater in here not working?”

Standing by Lu Tian's side, Manage He was as stiff as a board. He is used to Lu Tian's aloofness but at this moment he wishes he were standing on the other side where there are light and warmth. Instead, here he is standing on the dark side where there is only pure coldness.

When he heard Lu Tian's question, he felt a cold sweat slip down his forehead, and it awoke his senses. He quickly wipes it away with the back of his sleeve and looks down at the young man.

”Young Master, the heater is on. I made sure the staff set it to the highest temperature so the entire company will be warm.”

He spoke each word in his usual tone, but deep inside he was crying with all his heart. He is a person who likes the cold, so being inside the company right now was making him sweat more than usual.

To be more precise, the reason for him sweating isn't because he is afraid, it was because it is too hot.

Hearing this, Lu Tian furrows his brows in a frown. He found the room to be warmer than usual too, so why would his mother say that his wife's hands are cold?

Madam Lu rolled her eyes at her son's frowning expression. She ignores him and looks at Yue Ling with a soft smile as she gently squeezes her (Yue Ling) hand.

”Ah Ling, do you have any plans for lunch? If you don't, should we go out and eat?”

Yue Ling was at a loss for words for the mother and son. She could only blink her eyes a few times and ponder about the change of situation. However, the thing that confused her most was, why is Madam Lu here?

She parts her lip to ask, but before she could utter a sound, her hand that was in Madam Lu's grasp was suddenly grabbed by another hand.

Unlike Madam Lu's fair and soft hand, this hand was larger, and she could feel the light brushed of the callouses on the palm.

She turns her head to look at the owner and her eyes ever so lightly trembles.

”Tian, what's the matter?”

He was so quiet that she didn't even see or hear him get up from his seat, let alone walk over to her.

Lu Tian stares down at her and the corners of his lip arcs up a little. The tone of voice was like a small whimper and he felt the urge to tease her. However, remembering that she had asked for a professional meeting, he could only hold himself back.

He sighs inside and smiles softly to her.

”Miss Han, I apologize for the disturbance of our meeting. If you will follow me, we can continue this meeting in a more appropriate place without any interference.”

”…”

Yue Ling stares up at him speechlessly. Why is he apologizing? And what appropriate place? Isn't this the conference room inside Cloth Co.? What other place is better to have a meeting than here?
