Liang Feifan scrutinized Bai Lu from head to toe. His eyes were filled with disbelief that the person standing in front of him was Bai Lu. However, when he saw Chu Weiye standing not far behind Bai Lu, his expression suddenly turned cold. "You're with him?" His tone was firm.
Well, it was late at night, and she wasn't here. It was really awkward for her to appear in front of Liang Feifan with Chu Weiye.
However, Bai Lu felt that she was innocent, so she had to explain herself. But how should she start?
Just as she was thinking about how to phrase her words, Chu Weiye was one step ahead of her. He said faintly, "Mr. Liang, what a coincidence."
Liang Feifan glanced at Chu Weiye. His face tensed up, but his tone was calm. "President Chu, when did you get so close to my EC employee?"
"Mr. Liang, listen to what you're saying. She works at EC during the day and is your employee. After work, she's just a normal person. Does your EC employee have to report to you every day about her daily life, including who she knows and who she's with? "Chu Weiye habitually put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled lazily.
He and Liang Feifan were two completely different types of men.
Liang Feifan usually gave people the impression that he was calm and collected. His every move was elegant and calm. A man like that didn't show his emotions on his face, and people couldn't easily guess what he was thinking. Chu Weiye, on the other hand, was completely different. His pair of devilish peach blossom eyes gave people the impression that he was frivolous. However, his thoughts were deep and he liked to hide his true emotions with a smile.
In the end, he was just a sly fox.
Liang Feifan and he had crossed paths many times in the business world, but they usually didn't confront each other directly.
He did have property here, but he didn't buy this villa himself. Back then, his mother liked the environment here, so she bought it herself. After buying it, she wrote his name on it. Liang Feifan would occasionally come over to stay for a few days. Even if they met Chu Weiye here, they would only treat him as if he was invisible.
Today's situation was definitely the first time.
"Of course, EC's employees don't need to report anything to me, but she does need to."
Liang Feifan raised his eyebrows and reached out to pull Bai Lu, who was standing at the side, towards himself. His slender body moved slightly to allow Bai Lu to fight side by side with him. He didn't loosen his grip on her wrist. Instead, he tightened his grip.
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that he would suddenly grab her. Her instinctive reaction was to struggle free from his exquisite weapon.
However, just as she moved slightly, Liang Feifan tightened his grip on her wrist. She couldn't break free and didn't dare to use too much strength. She could only let him hold her wrist.
Chu Weiye's gaze fell on their intertwined hands. He unconsciously narrowed his eyes and sneered. His following words were full of sarcasm. "Oh? Who is she to Mr. Liang? A woman? "
"This is between me and her. There's no need to explain it to an outsider like you." The corners of Liang Feifan's mouth twitched. He didn't look at Chu Weiye anymore. He pulled Bai Lu and stuffed her into the front passenger seat. Then he got into the car and stepped on the accelerator. The car drove past Chu Weiye and sped off in the opposite direction.
Bai Lu … Bai Lu …
It seemed that Liang Feifan really treated her differently.
Bai Lu, what should I do? I seem to be … more and more interested in you.
…
Bai Lu turned her face sideways to look at Liang Feifan.
The lines of his side profile were still tense. The lighting on the road at night wasn't very good. Occasionally, a street lamp shone in through the car window and hit his face, making his handsome face appear even more gloomy and unreadable.
Half of his face seemed to be hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his true emotions.
However, when her gaze fell on his seemingly casual hands holding the steering wheel, she was somewhat certain that he didn't seem very happy …
Was it because of what just happened?
"Mr. Liang …"
"How did you and Chu Weiye meet?"
As soon as Bai Lu opened her mouth, Liang Feifan coldly interrupted her.
Bai Lu took a deep breath. In fact, she had originally planned to explain, but since he asked, she just blurted it out.
"Some time ago, I was accidentally hit by a car on the road. At the time, it was President Chu's car. After that, he sent me to the hospital. Coincidentally, I left my handbag in his car. Today, I happened to bump into him by chance. He asked me to come with him to get my handbag, so I came over. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"That's it?"
Liang Feifan only responded after a while. He had already accepted her explanation in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked like he didn't quite believe it.
When Bai Lu heard his questioning tone, she was a little angry. "Mr. Liang, what else do you think it is? Also, actually, I don't have to explain anything to you. I explained it in detail just now because I clearly know that EC and Far East have always been competitors. At tomorrow's auction, they will be the biggest competitors, so I don't want Mr. Liang to have any misunderstandings. That's why I explained it to you. "
"So you don't want to explain it to me?" Liang Feifan made a turn in front of the car. When he had the time, he turned to look at her. "Since you know that Far East is EC's competitor, why can't you just get a handbag whenever you want? Why did you come with him to his residence to get it in the middle of the night? "
"Chu Weiye said it himself. If I didn't come with him to get it today, he would throw my handbag away!" She couldn't help but raise her voice a little. She felt wronged in her heart.
In fact, ever since the incident in his office that day, she had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Liang Feifan for the whole day at work.
If she hadn't bumped into him here, she wouldn't have gotten into his car at all. Now that he asked her this question, it made it sound like they were very close. This made her feel very uneasy and disgusted.
However, she knew very well that she wasn't disgusted with Liang Feifan. She was disgusted with herself.
She felt like a starving beggar who had gone bankrupt and had nothing to her name. She longed for a plate of delicious food to fill her stomach, but God suddenly gave her an endless supply of delicious food, a mansion, and a luxury car …
However, she didn't have the keys to the mansion, nor did she have the keys to the luxury car, so she could only look at it, but not have it …
When faced with such a great temptation, it was even more painful than having nothing.
"What did you call him?" Liang Feifan frowned and stepped hard on the brakes. The car happened to drive into the garage of his villa. He turned around and placed his hands on both sides of the car seat, confining her in the parking space. His voice deepened. "Call me that again."
Bai Lu opened her mouth and realized that her imposing manner had been weakened by a lot in an instant.
The car wasn't big to begin with. When he got closer, it seemed to be even more oppressive. Bai Lu felt that there was no need for her to answer such a boring question. She reached out to open the car door, but Liang Feifan reacted quickly and pressed the button on the car's central control. The car door was immediately locked. His enchanting eyes contained a deep light as he approached her and said in a low and flirtatious voice, "What's wrong? Are you afraid to look at me?"
"… I'm not."
Her voice was very soft, but in the car where only the sound of their breathing could be heard, Liang Feifan naturally heard it clearly.
He smiled in an extremely flirtatious manner. "You're not? How many times have you avoided me today? During the morning meeting, did you deliberately sit in the corner of the last row? Why weren't you there when I went to the design department on my first day of work? Also, when you saw me at the elevator entrance in the afternoon, did you deliberately choose to take the stairs? "
He reached out and brazenly picked up a strand of black hair that fell over her shoulder and played with it gently. "I didn't know that your stamina was so good. Aren't you tired after walking up more than ten flights of stairs?"
Bai Lu hadn't expected that this man would know everything!
Her heartbeat became even more erratic.
Of course, he wasn't wrong. She had indeed avoided him today because she didn't dare to face him and also because she didn't want others to gossip. However … she really thought that he didn't know anything. Now that she heard him say this, she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
What did he mean?
Why did he … always tease her like this?
His words and actions clearly represented that he … seemed to be … a little interested in her, but …
Bai Lu didn't dare to think about it anymore. Everything between them seemed too unreal to her. In fact, no matter what he thought, she knew very well that the distance between them was too far.
She didn't dare and couldn't sink into it.
"… Mr. Liang, you misunderstood. I didn't think of avoiding you."
"Really?"
"Yes!" She took a deep breath and thought of a way to cover up her lie. "During the morning meeting, I just sat there out of habit. When you came to the design department in the afternoon, I happened to be in the toilet and the elevator … I had just eaten lunch and wanted to digest it."
This explanation was a little lame.
Of course, Liang Feifan didn't believe her. He sneered. "Good explanation."
He suddenly reached out and held her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. His eyes were deep and complicated, like a black hole with a dazzling light, attracting Bai Lu deeper and deeper. She couldn't control herself. His deep voice was a little coaxing. "Now look into my eyes and tell me, are you ready for tomorrow's bidding?"
The topic was a little too jumpy, and the two of them were in such an ambiguous position, but he was talking about serious matters.
Bai Lu forced herself to calm down. Her eyes flickered twice, and finally nodded gently. "… I'm almost ready."
"Are you confident?"
