Bai Lu came back to her senses in a daze and heard him say that it was unhygienic. She instinctively retorted, "… It's not hygienic even if you keep it in your mouth …"
"I'm a man."
"…?" Was there any difference between this and gender?
"Also, you're not allowed to suck on your finger in front of other men in the future, do you hear me?"
Bai Lu was about to ask why. After all, she would never suck on her finger for no reason. However, Liang Feifan's phone rang at this moment, and the flirtatious atmosphere between them was shattered by the urgent ringtone.
Liang Feifan slowly let go of her body, but he still did not let her down from his lap. He held her slender waist with one hand so that she could not move. He took out his phone with the other hand and glanced at the caller ID. His slightly languid expression became slightly more serious.
"… Let me down."
Bai Lu took the opportunity to struggle. Perhaps this call was really important because Liang Feifan did not make things difficult for her. After carefully letting her down, he got up and said, "Wait for me here. I haven't eaten yet. When I'm done with this call, accompany me to eat."
After taking two steps, he turned back and said worriedly, "Don't run, do you hear me? If you run away, I can still catch you and bring you back. "
Bai Lu pursed her lips and did not agree. However, when she saw him quickly walk away to take the call, she really wanted to turn around and leave. However, when she thought of what he said just now, she dismissed the idea.
She stood there bored and felt that there was nothing to do. In the end, she sat down again, picked up a magazine from the table, and began to flip through it.
On the other side of the office, Liang Feifan walked away. After making sure that Bai Lu could not hear him, he picked up the phone.
"What's the matter?"
A woman's voice came from the other end. "I want to meet you."
Liang Feifan put one hand in his trouser pocket and glanced at the woman sitting on the sofa. Seeing that she was reading a magazine, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Can't I talk here?"
"Heh, Feifan, when did it become a luxury for me to meet you?" Ye Lian's voice traveled to Liang Feifan's ears through the phone's airwaves. She sounded a little unwilling. "Don't forget that I'm going to work in your EC. This position was personally arranged by Uncle Liang. Even if you don't come to see me now, when I go to work, we'll still be together every day."
"Ye Lian, you're thinking too much. I'm just a little busy today."
The relationship between Family Liang and Family Ye had always been good. In public, they still had a lot of projects on the way. In private, Liang Feifan knew that Ye Lian had sacrificed a lot for her over the years. She had traveled overseas just to study design like her, so that she could help her in the future. In the beginning, he didn't stop her because he also thought that Ye Lian would be Liang Feifan's wife. But now that the situation had changed, he felt a little guilty.
"I'm already downstairs at your company," Ye Lian said straightforwardly. "No matter how busy you are, it shouldn't be a problem for you to spare some time for me, right? I'm coming up now. "
Liang Feifan hung up the phone and reached out to massage his aching temples. He looked at the woman who was still sitting on the sofa flipping through a magazine.
He frowned slightly and paused for a moment before walking over.
"Are you hungry?" He knew that she didn't eat much at the restaurant just now. "I still have something to deal with here. Go down to the parking lot and wait for me. I'll be down in 15 minutes."
He handed the car keys to Bai Lu. Liang Feifan remembered something and said, "Yesterday, I helped you choose a few architectural design books. I didn't bring them with me today, so they should be in the car. When you get there, take a look in the storage box and read some books. Wait for me, okay?"
His voice was low and pleasant, but he was carefully asking for her permission.
Bai Lu didn't want to deny that at that moment, she felt like she was in the palm of someone's hand.
She couldn't help but nod her head and obey him. She reached out to take the car keys from Liang Feifan's hand. She looked up and happened to see the clock hanging on the wall not far away. She said, "There's only an hour left before you have to go to work in the afternoon. I'm afraid you won't have enough time to eat. If you're busy, I can take care of it myself …"
"You don't have to go to the design department in the afternoon," Liang Feifan interrupted her. "There's still about ten days to three months, right?"
He was referring to the baby in her belly. Bai Lu calculated the time accurately. "There's still twelve days."
"After you eat, I'll go to the hospital with you." He seemed to have already made arrangements. "Prenatal checkup. I still have something to talk to you about in the afternoon. I'll ask Guan Chao to apply for leave for Li Tingshen. You don't have to worry about anything else. "
In his heart, he was still a little afraid that she would run into Ye Lian.
Of course, he wasn't guilty. He just didn't want to complicate what was originally a simple matter. Moreover, he had spent a lot of effort to gradually get this stubborn little woman closer to him. Now, the elders in his family were enough of a headache for him. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Bai Lu didn't think much of it. He said that he had already made arrangements, and she didn't say anything else. After all, this was their child, so a prenatal checkup was necessary.
She walked out of the elevator and into the parking lot.
The car keys were right next to her hand. She didn't know where Liang Feifan's car was parked, so she subconsciously pressed the key. Soon, there was a beeping sound not far away.
It was a sensor.
She walked closer and happened to see a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz driving in another direction at the entrance. The moment the car turned the corner, the speed of the car slowed down, so she could see the person in the driver's seat clearly.
Bai Lu instinctively stopped in her tracks. Her whole body stiffened as she watched the red taillights go further and further away. Finally, it completely disappeared around the corner.
— — Just now, was that Ye Lian?
Deep in her heart, a voice immediately jumped out and shouted, "Yes."
It was Ye Lian. She actually saw it clearly, so she already understood why Liang Feifan wanted to send her away. The person he probably wanted to meet was Ye Lian, right?
She pursed her lips and walked to the car expressionlessly. After taking two steps, she realized that she was going in the wrong direction. The red warning light had been flashing just now, but now it was no longer on. She pressed the key in her hand again, and soon the car beeped again.
She turned back again, opened the car door, and bent over to get in.
Following Liang Feifan's instructions, she opened the storage compartment. Sure enough, there were three thick books in there. They were all about architectural design, and they were all limited-edition books.
She had searched for such treasured books many times in the past, but she had returned empty-handed. She didn't think that she would actually feel no joy when she held them in her hands now.
Her heart was always in a daze.
Why didn't he tell me that Ye Lian was going to meet Liang Feifan?
Why did he send me away and meet Ye Lian alone?
…
But on second thought, why should Liang Feifan tell me? She wasn't anyone to him in the first place, was she?
Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't sit still. Bai Lu realized that she couldn't concentrate at all.
She slowly flipped through the few pages of the books in her hands, but in the end, she weakly closed them …
Fifteen minutes. Liang Feifan said fifteen minutes. For the first time, she felt that time was a kind of torture for her.
Every minute, every second.
"Tell me, what's so important that you're looking for me for?" Liang Feifan sat firmly in his office chair, his slender fingers tapping on the folder beside him.
Ye Lian placed the proposal in front of him. "This is what I want to show you today."
Liang Feifan's slender fingers moved slightly as he looked at the proposal for half a season written on it. He wasn't in a hurry to flip through it. Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.
"This shouldn't be what you're showing me now. Ever since I came to EC, I haven't participated in the collaboration between the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan."
"Haven't you thought about the Liang Clan's headquarters?" Ye Lian sneered. "Feifan, the man I know isn't the kind of man who would willingly join EC. Isn't your ultimate goal the entire Liang Clan? This is the half-season proposal for the collaboration between the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan. Why don't you have the right to know about it? "
Liang Feifan moved his slender fingers and pushed the document in front of Ye Lian. He didn't have the slightest intention of looking at it.
His deep voice was still as calm as ever. "It's not a matter of power. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Now that I'm in this position, I have to do what I'm supposed to do. Ye Lian, I'm very grateful that you're thinking about me, but there's really no need for that. "
Ye Lian's eyes darkened. "Is it because of that woman?"
Liang Feifan raised his eyebrows. He already knew that she was going to get to the point. He didn't reply, but just silently glanced at the clock on the wall.
Five minutes had passed. There were only ten minutes left.
He didn't want to break his promise to his woman, not even for a second.
"Feifan, you weren't like this in the past. Work is the most important thing to you. Are you sure you're going in the right direction? Are you sure you'll eventually get everything you've always wanted? "
The Liang Clan's relationships were complicated. Although Liang Jiannan had built the business empire single-handedly, Liang Jiannan had a few peers around him. Liang Jiannan was the eldest brother, and the brothers who had started the business together back then were all trying to get a share of the profits. Some of them were still fighting lawsuits, while others had been sitting in the shareholders' seats, ready to make a move.
Liang Feifan had a very good business mind, and his methods were swift and decisive. It was because of his meteoric rise at a young age that the group of old fogies on the board of directors tried their best to get him to leave the Liang Clan headquarters and go to EC.
However, Ye Lian never thought that a man like Liang Feifan would be willing to stay in EC for the rest of his life. Furthermore, Liang Jiannan's uncle couldn't possibly let his son be demoted to EC forever. After all, it was just a subsidiary company. His platform should be the entire Liang Clan.
