Chapter 86: The Improper Chen Xiaoyi
“President Lu, rest assured, I will keep a close watch on those people.” The woman solemnly pledged her loyalty, making clear no one doubted Lu Li’s past threats anymore. If anyone dared cause trouble, those loyalists from the meeting would be in trouble. But she’s smart, showing her loyalty to Lu Li in this manner is her way of declaring herself as Lu Li’s staunch supporter now.
“Good, you can go,” Lu Li nodded satisfactorily.
Lu Li could clearly sense that when the woman was speaking, the hidden Chen Xiaoyi suddenly paused, then became considerably more aggressive.
“Uh… President Lu, how about I treat you to dinner sometime? Just the two of us, and I assure you Ms. Chen won’t know.”
The female executive threw caution to the wind, leveraging her own advantages over those men.
“Get out,” Lu Li’s hand stiffened, glancing coldly at the woman.
Saying Chen Xiaoyi won’t know? Chen Xiaoyi already knows, and she’s already starting to sulk with me.
“Yes…” A bit frightened, the young female executive, despite her broad experience, was taken aback by President Lu’s gaze.
Former President Lu Ya, you lost fairly!
President Lu can withstand even this!
She retreated obediently.
“You naughty thing.” Lu Li flicked Chen Xiaoyi’s forehead.
“Um… don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy it.” Chen Xiaoyi, covering her forehead, knew this naughty guy was playing this game.
Now that she’s indulged him, he turns to blame her, huh?
Hypocritical naughty brother.
Chen Xiaoyi’s eyes glinted, “I thought you’d lose your composure, and then that woman would ask if you’re sick, suggesting you see a doctor, but you’d say it’s just a minor illness, no need, and then there’d be a struggle!”
“You’ve been reading too many novels!”
Lu Li was momentarily speechless, certain that Chen Xiaoyi’s reading material wasn’t exactly proper.
“How could I not like it? You thinking I would lose my composure is far-fetched!” How could he not enjoy it? He hadn’t expected Chen Xiaoyi to go to such lengths, surpassing his imagination!
Chen Xiaoyi pouted, feeling somewhat unhappy.
Tonight, I’ll buy a bunch of bananas, cucumbers, just you wait.
After a pause, it seemed a bit inappropriate. Perhaps buying those large eggplants would be better!
Her man, and someone she deeply cares for, Chen Xiaoyi didn’t think there was anything to be embarrassed about.
“Go rinse your mouth, I want a kiss.”
He tapped Chen Xiaoyi’s forehead, knowing he definitely couldn’t kiss her now.
Tui! Filthy man, you’re just a big playboy.
Chen Xiaoyi leaned in close, wanting him to see just how big her rolling eyes could get.
After some playfulness, Lu Li held Chen Xiaoyi in his embrace, and she relaxed against this naughty guy, feeling truly grateful to Zhang Ziqin at times.
With Lu Li’s feelings for her, if Zhang Ziqin had been even slightly… not even nicer to Lu Li, just normal, they could have been happy together.
It’s a pity she didn’t cherish it, choosing to realize it only after losing him. She got what she deserved.
But if Zhang Ziqin had been normal, then she wouldn’t have had her chance. Now, being cherished by the man she deeply cares for, Chen Xiaoyi really has to thank Zhang Ziqin!
Without that bad woman, the green tea girl Zhang Ziqin, Lu Li’s life has been wonderful. Miss Cao Yingying, a woman everyone likes, also deeply loves Lu Li, and even You Meng deeply loves him.
Now working diligently, hoping to earn her redemption and acceptance by Lu Li soon.
And herself… she didn’t know when it started, but she fell in love with this man, her thoughts, care, and desires all for him.
The three of them wish to cherish the same man, who was not treasured by Zhang Ziqin, truly despicable.
In summary, she should thank Zhang Ziqin for the good days brought about.
With a hint of happiness in her eyes, Chen Xiaoyi asked, “What do you plan to do with the Liu and Su families? The same as before?”
“No need. Though underhanded tactics work, they’re prone to failures if others are prepared. These two families aren’t much different from Zhao Corporation; direct force to make them beg for mercy will do.” Lu Li lounged back in his chair.
He had given the chance; if those folks are as foolish as Zhao Corporation’s idiots and miss it, they can’t blame him.
“Really? Okay, I won’t disappoint you, Brother Lu.” Chen Xiaoyi nodded seriously. Though she had her achievements in these two victories, she knew it was all because Lu Li supported her.
“I’m still too naive for the battlefield that is the business world. It’s not so much my operation as it is Lu Li guiding me, giving me a chance to learn.”
“My little treasure is so sweet, I’ll reward you when we get back, and I’ll give you a big red envelope.” Lu Li’s hand caressed Chen Xiaoyi’s belly, laughing.
To him, Chen Xiaoyi was too precious, having been right to bring her to his side.
“Geez, Brother Lu, you’re doing this on purpose. I still owe you money!” Chen Xiaoyi snuggled closer to Lu Li, giving him a sidelong glance.
“Hey, hey, we’re family now. Talking about owing money seems a bit distant, doesn’t it!” Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
Chen Xiaoyi huffed, “Just this once, we must be clear. The money I owe you is a debt, and you still need to pay me a proper salary in the future.”
Chen Xiaoyi was particularly sensitive about money. She had to repay what she owed Lu Li. And of course, Lu Li had to pay her a good salary in the future. It might seem distant, but that’s her way of life.
Of course, it was only about money because she didn’t want to feel like she was being kept. As for what she owed Lu Li otherwise, she’d have to repay with herself.
A soft affection shone in her eyes.
Lu Li could somewhat sense Chen Xiaoyi’s thoughts. Although it seemed a bit like burying her head in the sand, he understood.
“Alright, alright, it’s all up to you. Come here, let’s check your body to see if you’re fully healed, but you still need to recuperate properly.” Pulling Chen Xiaoyi’s creamy wrist, Lu Li smiled.
“Stop it, Brother Lu, you’re never serious when you check…”
