"… I drank a little too much. Help me get some food. I want to eat that fish …"
He had once asked her to pick up food for him. At that time, she was hesitant and unwilling, but she still picked up food for him. The first time she picked up food for a man, she had never experienced it. It turned out that a woman picking up food for a man would have a very special feeling.
At that time, she watched him eat the food she gave him. At that time … how did she feel?
"Xin Yu, what's wrong?"
Mu Chenchu came in with two cups of coffee. She saw Xin Yu sitting in her seat with her head in her hands. She didn't know what she was thinking. She walked closer to take a look and saw that her phone was placed next to her hand. The screen wasn't completely dark. It was showing the photos she had secretly taken last night. Of course, she couldn't remember at all. She hadn't deleted them yet!
"… Xin Yu, actually this … um, that, let me explain."
Mu Chenchu knew that Xin Yu liked Qin Fangang. She just refused to admit it to her. Last night, she was quite angry about what happened between Lu Yiting and Qin Fangang. That was why she took a few unnecessary photos. At that time, she did want to show them to Xin Yu. However, she didn't do it in the end. The most important reason was, of course, Qin Fangang himself.
From the beginning to the end, she saw that the two people were basically Lu Yiting who was trying her best to please him. Qin Fangang, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face from beginning to end.
After all, in front of outsiders, he was Lu Yiting's brother. It would be inappropriate for him to appear too cold and distant when he brought his sister to a dinner party. As a person who had been in society for a long time, she could naturally analyze this. However, at that time, she was just hot-headed. She really couldn't stand Lu Yiting's charming face. Who was she trying to seduce? Furthermore, Qin Fangang was his biological brother. That was what Mu Chenchu thought after the incident — he had thought too much!
"… Sigh, it's not like that. Xinyu, listen to me … It's just that Lu Yiting did go a little overboard at the dinner party. I couldn't stand it, but I couldn't scold her for being shameless, so … I secretly took a few photos. However, after thinking about it, she didn't have a good reputation to begin with. Perhaps she did it on purpose. Besides, Boss Qin was her biological brother. There couldn't really be anything between them. Don't think too much about it … I just had nothing better to do! "
Mu Chenchu reached out and patted his head. He sighed and said, "… I really don't know what to say. However, when I took these photos … I really couldn't stand Lu Yiting. It has nothing to do with Boss Qin. I think he has always been very calm. Moreover, I still stand by my words. They are biological siblings, so there can't be anything between them. I just don't know what Lu Yiting is trying to do. She is indeed a little abnormal."
Xin Yu shook her head. When she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse. "… Chenchen, I've always suspected something."
She felt a tightness in her chest. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Qin Fangang. There was no way he would do anything with Lu Yiting. However, even though she believed in him, she couldn't control her feelings of discomfort, jealousy, and jealousy.
Right now, she felt uncomfortable. Her entire body felt uncomfortable. Just looking at these photos and thinking about how the two of them stayed out all night, even if there was a voice in her heart that kept telling her loudly — Qin Fangang wouldn't do anything, he wouldn't. However, she still felt uncomfortable. Especially when these photos were like sharp thorns that pricked her eyes.
Biological siblings?
Were they really biological siblings?
No, in the past, Xinyu had her suspicions. But now, she was almost certain. Even if she wasn't 100% sure, she was at least 70% sure. From the beginning to the end, when she thought about Li Muhua's matters, she felt that Lu Yiting might not be Lu Shiyun's daughter.
And Lu Yiting was probably very clear about this fact herself.
Otherwise, as a girl, she definitely wouldn't have looked at Qin Fangang like that. She also wouldn't have racked her brains to go to a dinner party. Moreover, with these photos, people who didn't know the situation would definitely think that the woman in the photos liked the man in the photos.
"What's the matter?"
"…"
Mu Chenchu leaned closer to Xin Yu. Just as she asked, someone came in from the door. Xin Yu swallowed her words. Ji Yang stood respectfully at the door and said, "Miss Leng, Miss Xin Yu, Boss Qin is here. The project that you were working on has to be completed today. Please bring the documents to the meeting room. Boss Qin is waiting for you there."
Both of them were stunned. Mu Chenchu was the first to react. "Got it. Sorry to trouble you, Assistant Ji."
Ji Yang nodded and glanced at Xin Yu. When he saw that she didn't look too happy, he paused for a moment and then turned to leave.
After Ji Yang was some distance away, Mu Chenchu shook Xin Yu's arm and asked, "What did you want to tell me?"
"Nothing much."
Xin Yu stood up and organized the documents in her hands. "Let's not talk about this now. I'll tell you more when we get home. Also, Chenchen, delete the photos on your phone. It won't be good if someone sees them. "
After being interrupted by Ji Yang, Xin Yu didn't intend to say anything more. Besides, this was an important matter and it had something to do with Lu Shiyun. She had been so overwhelmed by her emotions that she almost blurted it out. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, even if Mu Chenchu was her best friend, she couldn't reveal the Lu family's secret so easily.
Besides, if there were any mishaps in this matter, Lu Shiyun would be the one who couldn't accept it the most!
She couldn't speak carelessly. At least for now, she couldn't speak carelessly in the Lu Clan.
Mu Chenchu saw that her expression had returned to normal, but there was still a hint of displeasure between her brows. She wanted to say something, but swallowed her words.
After all, this was a matter between her and Qin Fangang. Since she was going to meet Qin Fangang in a while, as a third party, it was better for her to keep her mouth shut. She immediately deleted the photos obediently and helped Xin Yu organize the documents at hand before heading to the conference room.
"… Oh, I did. What about you? Did you eat?"
At the end of the long corridor was the conference room. At this moment, a tall man was standing at the door. He was still wearing his favorite simple black outfit, but he was wearing a white shirt with a higher collar. Black and white, a simple yet classic color combination. Not too far away, the man's upright figure exuded an imposing aura.
He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding his phone as he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window, golden rays of light shone through the glass and fell on the man's head. It was as though his entire body was plated with a layer of gold.
She couldn't see his face because his back was facing her. However, just by hearing his gentle voice, Xin Yu knew that the person on the other end of the phone must be very important to him. Moreover, from the content of his words, she was also certain that he wasn't calling a business partner, but someone close to him.
"… I know. Next week. I've been a little busy lately … It's okay. You, on the other hand, should pay attention to your rest. Oh … I have a meeting in a bit that I need to host … Of course, I miss you too, okay? Is it still that kind of pancake over here? Got it. I'll bring it to you when I come over … Okay, then you rest. I'll hang up first. "
"…"
Mu Chenchu could clearly feel the pressure around her dropping little by little. She felt a little awkward, so she cleared her throat and tactfully took away the documents in Xin Yu's hands. Then she moved closer to her and said, "I'll go in first. What do you guys … Erm, come in after you're done talking. It's fine even if you don't come in. I'm sure I'll be able to organize the documents."
When she walked past Qin Fangang, she purposely paused. She felt that what he said to the person on the other end of the line in such a gentle tone was equivalent to "adding insult to injury". However, she was probably the one who had carelessly landed the snow on Xin Yu's heart, so she felt a little apologetic and kindly reminded Qin Fangang, "… Erm, Boss Qin, Xin Yu might not be in good spirits today. Please take care of her."
Qin Fangang: "…"
Not in good spirits?
The man frowned as he held his phone in his hand. He looked at the woman standing nearby and saw that she did not look too well. He lifted his long legs and walked over to her. He stood two steps away from her. Since he was much taller than her, when he spoke, he naturally sounded like he was looking down on her. "What's wrong?"
Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat. She did not know if she was overthinking, but she still felt it.
She felt that when Qin Fangang spoke to her, he did not speak to her in the same way as before …
"What's wrong?" Those three words sounded very cold and hard. She was probably worried about her personal gains and losses. However, from last night until this morning, for more than ten hours, she had tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. When she saw those photos when she arrived at the company, she felt as though a huge rock had piled up in her heart. It was so suffocating that she could not breathe. Yet, when she saw him, she still had to hear what he said on the phone.
Who was he talking to with such a gentle tone of voice?
She had heard it a few times before. At that time, she had already suspected that he had a woman in England. Later on, Si Tuyan appeared. His explanation to her was that she was just a little sister of his. Then, what about the person just now?
It definitely could not be a man. Did a man need to speak to another man in such a soft and gentle manner?
Was she overthinking it?
She was definitely not overthinking it …
Xin Yu felt terrible. At this moment, she felt as though she was someone who had been abandoned. That feeling of loss completely engulfed her entire body. All of her rationality seemed to be disappearing. Her eyes were tearing up. The grievances and unwillingness that she had endured for more than ten hours seemed to have become even fiercer at this moment.
