The assistant reported as usual, and Lu Wanggui would occasionally chime in. Everything was the same as usual. But after the assistant finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent for a moment. Then he said, âBecause it was urgent, and the school only said that they needed parents to come to the school as soon as possible. I was worried that something had happened to the young master, and I couldnât contact you at that time, so I took the initiative to call your wife...â
Lu Wangguiâs hand that was flipping through the documents paused. âWhat?â
The assistant was also panicking. It was only after the incident that he realized that he had acted too rashly when he called his wife. The main reason was that the school was pressuring him at that time, and CEO Lu couldnât be reached on the phone. An idea flashed through his mind, so he called his wife. Now that he was listening to the silence on the other end of the phone, the assistantâs heart was thumping and he couldnât calm down.
Then Lu Wangguiâs voice was heard on the other end of the receiver again and his tone didnât sound much different from usual. âOkay, I got it.â
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that CEO Lu didnât blame him for making his own decision.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanggui looked at his phone and was silent for a moment. However, it was not a big deal. The matter of Xiang Xiaoyuan going to school wasnât worth his time to think about. He put all his thoughts into his work. After a while, his phone rang again. He looked down and saw that it was from Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button and asked calmly, âWhatâs the matter?â
Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was sitting on the big bed, felt her ears go numb! What was going on? The novel did not mention that the male protagonistâs father had such a nice voice. It was simply against the rules!
Xiang Xiaoyuanâs heart began to stir. The yellow-robed Taoist priest had said that she was destined to have romantic problems. In fact, people like these tend to be very easily attracted to other people. With a handsome appearance, pleasant voice, meticulous care, and cooking skills, one could easily capture Xiang Xiaoyuanâs heart.
However, Xiang Xiaoyuan could just appreciate the things that moved her heart. She did not necessarily have to own it, such as Lu Wanggui.
Xiang Xiaoyuan chanted the heart cleansing mantra three times in her heart to suppress the effect of Lu Wangguiâs voice on her.
The heart cleansing mantra was very powerful. Xiang Xiaoyuan immediately entered a state of no desire.
To a certain extent, she did not integrate into this world. Whether it was Lu Wanggui or Lu Bei, in her perception, they were different from her. She was a living person, while Lu Wanggui, Lu Bei, and the others were fabricated by authors, including this world.
âAre you busy? I have something to discuss with you. It wonât take up too much of your time.â She did not know how the original owner communicated with Lu Wanggui. She could only try to make her tone sound less distant, but she did not seem to be successful. Her words were like a lowly employee reporting to her boss.
Lu Wanggui did not find her tone strange. Hearing her words, he only gave a faint âHmm.â Xiang Xiaoyuan could not figure out what he was thinking, she could only probe and continue, âI donât have a job right now, right? Itâs a little boring to stay at home every day. I just want to open a shop to pass the time. The location of the shop is not far from our area.â
Lu Wangguiâs calm expression was finally broken. It was like a small stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating layers of ripples, but it quickly returned to silence. He walked to the light gray sofa in the living room and sat down, grunting once again.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: â...â
Dude, do you only know how to say this word? If he grunted, did it mean that he agreed to her opening a shop? Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not bother about Lu Wangguiâs habit of not talking too much. She was overjoyed and said, âYou agreed? Thank you so much. If you have something to do, go ahead. I wonât bother you anymore.â
With that, she quickly hung up the phone.
After the phone automatically returned to the interface, Xiang Xiaoyuan reflected on whether she had hung up the phone too quickly? Would a normal employee dare to hang up the phone before the boss hung up? They wouldnât dare, right?
But she had already done it. Who cares?
...
In the evening, Xiang Xiaoyuan had a whim to eat watermelon. She refused the servantâs suggestion to go out and buy it for her. So she changed her shoes and walked out of the villa. On the way, she could also check out the surrounding shops.
But she didnât expect to meet Lu Bei.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Donât misunderstand. At this time, she did not know Lu Bei, nor did she know what he looked like. After all, Lu Wanggui did not seem like someone who would hang his sonâs photo in the living room. This also caused Xiang Xiaoyuan to not know Lu Beiâs true face until now.
After she finished shopping in the surrounding shops, she walked cheerfully to a large supermarket far away from the residential area. At the supermarket entrance, she almost bumped into the person next to her and quickly apologized politely, âIâm sorry...â
Looking up, she was shocked.
