Chapter 400: Rose with Thorns
Early in the morning, when Chen Xiaolin came to the office, she saw a bunch of light yellow Juliet roses on the table. There was no signature on the card, but there was a flower language "Pure and sincere love" written on it.
"Manager Chen, your mysterious suitor has sent you flowers again. This has been going on for a month. When will you bring them out for us to see?"
"Today I am sending you thirty-three flowers, which represent my love for you for all eternity, which will always be pure and true."
"Did you only see the roses?" Xu Lu, as an assistant, naturally sat next to Chen Xiaolin, so she could see clearly, "There is an extra gift box in the bouquet today. I guess there is a necklace inside!"
Listening to them say this, Chen Xiaolin's smile became increasingly weak, but she still couldn't resist everyone's curiosity and asked Xu Lu to open the gift box.
As soon as the gift box was opened, the female colleagues gasped. It was not a necklace, a bracelet or earrings, but a very exquisite three-piece set.
Those who work at Zhencheng, especially those who can enter the AI department, have high salaries, so there is no shortage of people who know what is good. So someone immediately exclaimed: "OMG, this brand of suit costs at least seven figures, and this one is limited to summer, so the price is even higher!"
After hearing this, everyone started to flatter Chen Xiaolin and gossip, "Manager Chen, who is this mysterious suitor? If you are not moved, all the girls in the office will be moved for you."
Such remarks are heard one after another.
Chen Xiaolin closed the jewelry box with a snap and put it back into the bouquet. The smile on her face was almost gone. She said patiently, "You still have time to gossip. Is it because you don't have enough work? I can assign you some more..."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sat back down with a smile, "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, this prince charming holding a bouquet of diamonds will not be attracted to us. We should just work honestly."
Everyone chatted and laughed and continued to work.
Chen Xiaolin sat down and looked at the flowers and gifts in front of her with a cold smile. At this time, Xu Lu came over and said to her, "Manager Chen, Mr. Lu is here."
Her expression suddenly paused, and she turned around to see Lu Yiheng, wearing silver-framed glasses, dressed in expensive custom-made clothes, and walking towards her with a conceited and meaningful smile.
Small conference room.
Chen Xiaolin and Lu Yiheng were sitting opposite each other. She was pressing the remote control in her hand and concentrating on reporting her work to Lu Yiheng with the help of PPT. However, her feet in high heels were often touched lightly by the person opposite her, intentionally or unintentionally. Chen Xiaolin had to look at him and warn him with her eyes.
Xu Lu was sitting next to her, and Xie Jinhui was sitting next to Lu Yiheng!
Lu Yiheng put his feet down, but after a while he tried the same trick again. Chen Xiaolin simply retracted her feet under her chair. Lu Yiheng thought she was being coquettish and suddenly chuckled.
Xie Jinhui was not surprised, Xu Lu asked in surprise: "Mr. Lu, is there any problem with our report?"
Lu Yiheng covered his mouth with his fist. "I can't find any flaws in Manager Chen's work report. However, I still want to see the site in person. Is Manager Chen free tomorrow?"
Chen Xiaolin's eyelids twitched slightly, and she looked at Lu Yiheng's half-smiley eyes and answered, "Yes, Mr. Lu."
The next day.
In the Binjiang Road branch of the Wansheng Hotel chain which was under renovation, Chen Xiaolin, who is responsible for future smart devices of the Wansheng national hotel chain, took Lu Yiheng to one of the demonstration rooms to demonstrate the smart effects to him.
There were only two people in the room. Although Chen Xiaolin deliberately left the door open, they were still a single man and a single woman in the same room.
Lu Yiheng looked at the woman he liked, swaying in front of him. That pretty face, slender figure, and the slim-fitting suit that still outlined her slender waist. Even if she didn't reveal her long legs, they still attracted him...
Lu Yiheng still felt dry mouth.
When Chen Xiaolin's hair floated past him, the delicate fragrance made him unable to hold back and he closed the door.
A soft sound.
Chen Xiaolin looked back vigilantly.
But before she could see the situation clearly, she was pushed against the wall by Lu Yiheng. She heard him shout anxiously, "Hyolin..." and then he tilted his head to kiss her.
Chen Xiaolin tilted her head...
Suddenly, Lu Yiheng pushed her against the wall and shouted anxiously: “Xiaolin…”
After saying that, he immediately wanted to kiss me.
Chen Xiaolin turned her head to avoid it.
Lu Yiheng's kiss missed, his eyes were fixed on her, his eyes were full of desire and urgency, but her refusal made him dare not continue easily, he just raised his hand and gently stroked Chen Xiaolin's face, the delicate touch from his fingertips made his throat roll involuntarily.
"Hyolin, you don't know how much I missed you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaolin slowly raised her eyes and looked at him, but she didn't say anything.
Lu Yiheng's lips slowly approached again. Chen Xiaolin's breathing became a little rapid and her eyes slowly closed. But just when his lips were about to touch her, she suddenly turned her head away again, as if she suddenly regained her rationality and said, "We... can't do this."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Yiheng's eyes. He knew the meaning of Chen Xiaolin's words. She was reminding him that there was an insurmountable gap between them.
"I know, but I can't control my heart." There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Yiheng's voice.
Chen Xiaolin sighed softly, "Brother Yiheng, I am grateful for your kindness to me, but your family and your identity are realities that we cannot overcome." There was helplessness in Chen Xiaolin's tone and a hint of sadness in her eyes, as if she was regretting this relationship that could not begin.
Lu Yiheng's heart ached, "Xiaolin, give me a little more time, I can let you enter the Lu family legitimately and become my woman."
Chen Xiaolin was horrified. "Your words will only make me feel more pressured. I don't deserve you to do this. I grew up in the Lu family, and I know who has the final say in that family."
Lu Yiheng couldn't let Chen Xiaolin feel that she couldn't even speak in the Lu family, so he immediately said: "The Lu family will definitely fall into my hands in the near future, and I will have the final say in all matters."
Chen Xiaolin looked at him in surprise for a moment, "Did your second uncle say that?"
Lu Yiheng did not answer, but said: “I will get Lu’s through my own efforts.”
Chen Xiaolin couldn't help but look disappointed, "But there are stars above you, right?"
As she spoke, she pushed Lu Yiheng in front of her away, sighed and said, “Speaking of Xingchen, she seems to have broken up with Li Zhen recently.”
Lu Yiheng sneered: "I know, now that she no longer has Zhencheng as her backer, her future will not be so easy."
Chen Xiaolin frowned and looked at Lu Yiheng, “What’s your tone? She is not only my friend, but also your sister, right?”
Lu Yiheng was unable to respond for a moment.
Chen Xiaolin said worriedly, "I did hear that Li Zhen might be engaged to Feng Qianyu, but I couldn't bear to see Xingchen too sad, so I advised her to go find Li Zhen. But I don't know if Xingchen was just being angry with Li Zhen or if she really wanted to. After she left Li Zhen, she got very close to Chu Zeyan. But I think Chu Zeyan, the heir of the Chu family, is not that easy to control. Once she provokes him, it will be difficult for her to get away..."
Lu Yiheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yes, why did he only gloat over the fact that Lu Xingchen was dumped by Li Zhen, and he didn't expect that she still had the choice of Chu Zeyan. If she really gave up Li Zhen and chose Chu Zeyan, then she would have the more troublesome Chu family to support her!
