The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 718 Seems Like One Person (Lu Jingchuan & Yan Liluo)

Before Lin Jiaran left, Lu Jingshen was still sitting in his pajamas reading a magazine, not looking like he was about to go out.

"not busy today?"

After putting down the magazine, Lu Jingshen said, "I'm not going to the company today. I have to go out for a social engagement at ten o'clock."

"I'm leaving."

Not long after Lin Jiaran drove out, her driver came and took the child and the nanny away.

Lu Jingshen was handling work at Shengshi when Lin Jiaran called to ask what was going on. She called home but no one answered, and the home security cameras were turned off.

Lu Jingshen said that the child was sick and the nanny took the child to the hospital. The surveillance camera was turned off when the nanny left.

“You’re sick. You were perfectly fine this morning,” Lin Jiaran said again.

"Ah."

"Which hospital? I'll go check it out!"

"We're not at the hospital. The doctor said the child is too young and shouldn't be in contact with anyone to avoid cross-infection. I've already asked the nanny to take the child to stay somewhere else for a while."

"So that means I can't see them now?"

"They will come back in a while."

After hearing what Lu Jingshen said, Lin Jiaran didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone.

Shen Yuan sent her a message saying that the two children and the nanny had been taken to a villa area.

Looking at the message from Shen Yuan, Lin Jiaran recalled what Lu Jingshen had said that morning and just now, and began to doubt why Lu Jingshen would lie to her like this.

Why would Lu Jingshen tell the nanny not to let the child come into contact with people casually? If it's because he's afraid the child might accidentally get infected with the virus, that's understandable. But the message from Shen Yuan says the child is safe and sound.

He had promised her, but behind her back he told the nanny not to let the child have any contact with Yan Liluo. Why would Lu Jingshen do this? Is there some unspeakable secret that even she cannot know?

Lu Jingshen called, and Yan Liluo answered with trepidation.

Regarding the children, whatever my wife says to you, I hope you don't take it too seriously. Don't forget the agreement; if you can abide by it, I will naturally keep my promise.

"I know, I haven't forgotten."

"I hope you will also avoid seeing me when my wife brings the children to see you in the future."

“I didn’t know she would bring the child that day.”

"I can let bygones be bygones about what happened that day, but you'll have to be more careful in the future."

Yan Liluo did not answer the phone when Lin Jiaran called.

After two unsuccessful calls, Lin Jiaran stopped trying.

After finishing the meeting, Yan Liluo went to the chairman's office to report on her work.

Yan Liluo explained clearly how to follow up on all aspects of the work.

"Xiao Luo, what do you mean by this?"

"I think I'll hand over my work tasks at the company in the next two months, and I'd like to go to the UK for a while to rest."

"It's good to take a break. There's no need to hand over your work. It's not like you're not coming back. We can find someone to take over your responsibilities later. You can rest whenever you want. You don't have to wait two months."

“I will probably stay in England for a long time, and I will come back later. I have talked to my grandfather about this, and he agreed.”

Yan Liluo said she would come back, and Yan Liheng also said something, indicating that the position of general manager of Yan Corporation was reserved for her, waiting for her to return at any time.

Because Qiuqiu had fasted for two consecutive days and was in low spirits, she would have a stress reaction every time she passed by Yan Liluo's house. Lu Jingchuan had no choice but to bring the white ball to the Yan family.

When Yan Liluo returned to her office, Qiuqiu was waiting obediently in her office.

Upon seeing Yan Liluo, Qiuqiu wagged its tail enthusiastically as always.

Looking around the office, Lu Jingchuan was nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on?" Yan Lilu asked Xiao Zhou.

"Manager Lu brought it. He said this is your dog and that you should take good care of it from now on. He said he has nothing more to do with the dog, and then Manager Lu left."

Just like the previous few days, Yan Liluo brought Qiuqiu to Dingsheng in the afternoon.

Before getting off the bus, Yan Lilu gave Qiuqiu her favorite jerky and talked to it.

"Ballball, you can't run around. You have to eat your food properly, okay?"

After Qiuqiu finished eating the jerky, Yan Liluo took it out of the car.

"I gave you this dog for free, why did you bring it along?"

Yan Liluo gently patted Qiuqiu's head, and Qiuqiu immediately walked towards Lu Jingchuan.

Yan Liluo turned and left without saying a word.

"They've all left, aren't you going to chase after them?" Lu Jingchuan said to Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu was well-behaved and didn't make a fuss.

Lu Jingchuan felt that Bai Qiu must have fully realized that Yan Liluo was not Luo Chuan, which was why he didn't chase after her.

Yan Liluo was reading documents when Xiao Zhou knocked on the door and came in. "President Yan, the Shen Group has sent an invitation."

Yan Liluo opened the invitation and saw that the inviter was Lu Jingshen, the acting president of the Shen Group.

Who sent the invitation?

"President Lu's secretary is right outside the door."

The person who delivered the invitation was Zuo Meng. Zuo Meng's purpose was not only to deliver the invitation, but also to bring Yan Liluo the dress needed for the banquet, a makeup artist, and a contract personally signed by Lu Jingshen that could bring benefits to the Yan family.

At that time, Lu Jingchuan also received an invitation from the Shen family. Unlike Yan Liluo, Lu Jingchuan's invitation was from Shen Boren, the chairman of the Shen Group.

In Lu Jingchuan's view, he could disregard Lu Jingshen's feelings, but he would definitely give face to Shen Boren.

If he doesn't attend such a banquet in Jincheng, outsiders will definitely think that there is some problem between the Shen family and the Lu family, which could easily cause some bad topics and be detrimental to the development of family relations. Even if there is a conflict between him and Lu Jingshen, it is not enough to cause people to talk about it and affect the unity of the family.

Tonight's banquet was the first one that Shen Boren officially invited Lu Jingshen to attend as the president of the Shen Group, and the scene was very lively.

Shen Boren led Lu Jingshen to talk to the guests one by one, while Lin Jiaran sat alone in a corner, eating and drinking, or wandering around at will, without participating in the two's socializing at all.

Lu Jingchuan and Han Fei arrived earlier, and Yan Liluo happened to run into Huo Xiangtian, who was also attending the banquet, outside when she arrived.

Upon seeing Yan Liluo, Huo Xiangtian walked over to greet her.

Yan Liluo wore a long, fitted silver dress, with her custom-made long hair simply draped over her shoulders and light-colored makeup.

She usually has a neat short haircut and wears heavy makeup.

"I rarely see you dressed like this." Huo Xiangtian's eyes were filled with admiration, almost mesmerized.

"I haven't seen you with long hair yet, but you're beautiful even like this."

Yan Lilu gave a faint smile. Since arriving in Jincheng, she had begun to change her appearance and had gotten used to keeping her hair short.

"Thanks, it's nice to change things up once in a while."

Han Fei looked around and saw Yan Liluo and Huo Xiangtian walking together. He quickly spoke to Lu Jingchuan.

"Manager Lu, Manager Yan is here."

Lu Jingchuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the door.

Han Fei started gossiping about how good the relationship was between Yan Liluo and Huo Xiangtian.

Lu Jingchuan's eyes remained fixed on Yan Liluo, as if this scene had taken him back many years, when he had seen her wearing such a beautiful dress.

They seem to be the same person.

Lu Jingchuan looked at Yan Liluo with a meaningful gaze, without the slightest hint of infatuation.

He knew very well that this person was not the Mu Mu he was looking for. He still remembered what was said that day: Yan Liluo and Lu Jingshen were plotting something. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes that day, he would have had to admit that he would have fallen for Lu Jingshen's trick. This Yan woman looked too much like the Mu Mu he was looking for.
