The black casual sneakers stepped on the ground, and the long and powerful legs came into view first.

Until the car door opened wide, the man got out of the hovercraft worth tens of millions with a slightly bent back. His expressionless and cold face made Zhao Qian and Sun Li feel as if their hearts had stopped beating instantly.

When Lu Yinghuai's indifferent gaze swept across their faces, they experienced firsthand what it felt like to have a chill in their spines and their hair stand on end.

It was obvious that the man in front of them did not use his S-class Alpha level to suppress them. Just from a glance, they didn't know his name or what he was doing here.

I just wonder, can they still be alive?

"what is it call?"

Lu Yinghuai spoke, his voice as cold as a spring made them shudder again, "Ah?"

The man frowned, showing an impatient expression, "What are your names?"

This feeling was different from the feeling of being caught and scolded by Chen Zhi after talking behind someone's back. They could still have some intention of defending Chen Zhi, but they were not facing the first admiral of the federation in front of them.

The only thing that came to Zhao Qian and Sun Li's mind was a once very famous military documentary, in which there was a flash of Lu Yinghuai controlling a mecha and cutting off the head of another mecha from a hundred meters away.

At that time, not only the mecha's head was chopped off, but also the head of the rebel in the cockpit was cut off.

Even with the video blurred, one could still vaguely get a glimpse of how bloody the scene was. But when the camera turned, this grim-faced general looked calm, as if he had just cut an apple.

When they thought of this, they felt a chill in their necks and subconsciously answered Lu Yinghuai's question in a hurry.

"Zhao Qian!"

"Sun Li!"

If someone passed by here without knowing, they would think that this was some military exercise taking place in front of the municipal building in Border Town District.

After Zhao Qian and Sun Li reported their names, they did not dare to look directly into those dark eyes as deep as a pool, and waited anxiously for Lu Yinghuai to make the final judgment on them.

But all I could hear was the sound of footsteps, and when I looked up again, I could only see the man's back as he left.

"General Lu, he, he, he won't kill us, right?"

Sun Li said with a hopeful mentality: "He wouldn't dare. After all, he is a person of status and position. He won't attack us on the street. Even if he does, we can still defend our rights!"

"Yes, even an admiral cannot stop people from telling the truth."

The two of them comforted each other as they entered the building. Although they thought so in their hearts, after going up, they did not dare to hang around in places where Jiang Xu might appear.

On the other side, when Lu Yinghuai appeared in front of the office door, all the employees working inside were dumbfounded.

It was not until Lu Yinghuai knocked on the door and entered Jiang Xu's office that they looked at each other and expressed shock in a low voice.

"I was not dreaming just now, was I? Did General Lu really come to our office building?"

"What's there to be surprised about? The Admiral's wife is our boss. I have been prepared for a long time. I hope I can meet our Admiral in person one day."

"Hey? Didn't Engineer Chen just go in not long ago?"

"I heard that Engineer Chen's mother is from an aristocratic family and his father works for the Federal Land Bureau. So he and General Lu are from the same upper class circle, right? Do they know each other?"

"I do not know."

Lu Yinghuai really couldn't remember whether he recognized him or not.

When he pushed the door open, he saw Jiang Xu looking down at the drawings spread out on the large desk. Chen Zhi, who was of similar height to him, was standing next to him.

Jiang Xu was looking at the picture, and Chen Zhi was...looking at him.

As a man, that look was all too familiar to him.

Admiral Lu narrowed his eyes, the love rival radar sounded in his mind, and he walked closer calmly.

The moment Jiang Xu pushed the door open, he smelled the aroma of white tea, a scent that had once been deeply embedded in his body. He now felt it was more familiar than before.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll talk to Engineer Chen. We'll have a meeting when everyone is gathered. Then we'll go to the site to check on the progress."

"Okay." Lu Yinghuai responded, glanced at Chen Zhi, and walked towards the sofa. His movements were so natural as if it was not his first time in Jiang Xu's office.

Chen Zhi's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth to speak but stopped, finally swallowed it back, raised his voice and continued to talk to Jiang about the design plan.

It seemed as if this could divert Jiang Xu's attention.

He did not agree with those people outside who said that Jiang Xu relied on Lu Yinghuai to get to the top.

Instead, he felt that it was Lu Yinghuai who clipped Jiang Xu's wings and forced him to stay by his side.

After working with Jiang Xu these days, he realized that Jiang Xu was not a brainless pretty canary at all.

Chen Zhi felt that all the brilliance of Jiang Xu was overshadowed by Lu Yinghuai, and he shouldn't stay with Lu Yinghuai like this.

"Jiang Xu, look here..."

Lu Yinghuai watched Chen Zhi approach Jiang Xu, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Jiang Xu."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xu raised his eyes, "What's wrong?"

[This guy is really an eyesore. ]

[Can’t I throw it out? ]

Lu Yinghuai, with a calm expression, said seriously, "Is there any water? I want to drink some water."

Jiang Xu glanced at the water dispenser in the corner of the office. Not to mention water, he even had a coffee machine.

Knowing what the man was up to, Jiang Xu hid the smile in his eyes and walked around the desk. "Just water? We also have coffee here. The coffee beans are good. Would you like a cup?"

Ok……

Lu Yinghuai prefers tea to coffee, but he thought that it should take longer to make a cup of coffee than to pour water.

"You can make coffee? Why haven't I heard you say that before?" Lu Yinghuai asked as he looked at Jiang Xu who had already walked to the coffee corner to pour beans.

But he didn't know that these words had a different meaning when they fell into Chen Zhi's ears.

Haha, it turns out that he is just after beauty and doesn’t understand Jiang Xu at all.

Jiang Xu couldn't say that he had always been able to make not only coffee but also cocktails, so he could only say, "I learned it recently. There's a coffee machine in the office, so it would be a waste if I didn't use it."

As he spoke, his hands moved smoothly as he ground the beans, pressed the powder, put them into the coffee machine for extraction, and poured a cup of milk and made milk froth.

In the past, Lu Yinghuai had never paid attention to the process of making a cup of coffee. Now, although he didn't understand it, the coffee made by Jiang Xu was very pleasing to the eye.

Not to mention that he always wears formal clothes after work, and now he is wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and his every move exudes elegance and nobility.

Lu Yinghuai looked at him and his expression softened a lot.

But when he noticed that Chen Zhi also stopped his work and looked at Jiang Xu with an obsessed look on his face, his gentleness instantly disappeared.

He remembered a little bit. This was the youngest son of the Chen family. When he was young, he liked to snatch toys from Lu Yingjing.

She hasn't changed at all after growing up, and I still want to snatch it from him.

The coffee had a rich aroma. After Jiang Xu made it, he personally brought it to Lu Yinghuai.

This took on another meaning in Chen Zhi's eyes.

Does Jiang Xu really have to serve Lu Yinghuai so personally?

In fact, Lu Yinghuai, who had been at home making breakfast and dinner for Jiang Xu during this period of time, only drank the coffee made by his wife today.

Looking at the heart-shaped latte art on the coffee, Lu Yinghuai raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Xu curled his lips and whispered, "Do you like it?"

When he bent down, a strand of silver hair fell from Jiang Xu's ear, setting off his smiling face. How could one not like him?

Lu Yinghuai's eyes flickered slightly. He raised his hand and hooked the strand of hair, then tucked it behind Jiang Xu's ear. As he did in the past, his fingers habitually slid along Jiang Xu's ear to the earlobe, pinched it gently, and then withdrew his hand.

"like."

This scene happened to fall into Chen Zhi's eyes, and the pen in his hand was almost broken by him.

Alpha's competitive spirit was aroused uncontrollably, releasing a small amount of mental power fluctuations.

Lu Yinghuai frowned and looked at him.

The mental power of the two Alphas was surging, and in the end the latter was defeated.

Of course Jiang Xu noticed the fluctuations of their mental power, but he didn't intend to get involved.

After the situation calmed down, he stood up and spoke:

"It's getting late. I have to go to a meeting. You can have some coffee here. If you're bored, I have a few books I borrowed from your bookshelf. If that doesn't work, just surf the Internet."

"Wait until I come back, be good."

Jiang Xu reached out and quickly touched Lu Yinghuai's chin.

His back was to Chen Zhi, who did not see his action. When he turned around, he resumed his calm and composed look at work and restrained his smile.

"Let's go to the meeting first. We can talk about these after the meeting is over."

Chen Zhi could naturally feel the change in Jiang Xu's aura, and he responded with a calm, but still somewhat pale face.

Although he is also an Alpha, he is essentially no match for an S-class psychic power possessor who is one level stronger.

What he could find that made him better than Lu Yinghuai was that he could work with Jiang Xu.

But he forgot that Jiang Xu was only here during working hours and would also work with many other people. He spent almost all his private time with Lu Yinghuai.

A meeting lasted until noon.

Jiang Xu sat in the first seat and seemed nonchalant, but he was able to catch the loopholes and shortcomings in the speaker's report.

He doesn't look like someone who has just taken power. Instead, he looks like a leader who has been in power for many years and is well versed in the art of controlling his subordinates. His decisive aura makes people obey his orders involuntarily.

No one dared to look down on this leader who was born a mermaid.

The meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

Jiang Xun was thinking about Lu Yinghuai in the office and was stopped by Chen Zhi just as he was about to leave.

"Jiang Xu, I have something to tell you."

"What do you want to say?"

Jiang Xu turned around, and his calm and composed expression stunned Chen Zhi. For a moment, he felt as if Jiang Xu knew what he was going to say.

"Have you...ever thought about leaving Lu Yinghuai?" Chen Zhi mustered up the courage to speak. A blush appeared on his face as he had never talked about love before.

Jiang Xu said with a smile, "Why should I leave Lu Yinghuai?"

"You can work independently now. You don't need to stay by Lu Yinghuai's side anymore. You don't have to worry about being in danger after leaving Lu Yinghuai. I, I can protect you!"

The young man stubbornly believed what he had judged from the fragmentary information and thought that the relationship between Jiang Xu and Lu Yinghuai was just a forced one.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me. As long as you break free from the shackles Lu Yinghuai has placed on you and fly out of that golden cage, you will definitely have a broader life!"

Jiang Xu frowned even more tightly, and asked the same question: "Why should I leave Lu Yinghuai?"

Chen Zhi said anxiously, "Because Lu Yinghuai only brings you humiliation! You could have gotten everything you have now by yourself, but you got it because he is considered to have relied on the strong. He has no respect for you at all. He just now was like... like he was ordering you like a servant at home!"

"No matter whether you will consider me after you leave Lu Yinghuai, I will respect you, respect all your personality and identity. No matter what, I just hope you can be yourself!"

He realized that the meeting was over, but his wife hadn't come back yet, so he went out to find her. He just happened to hear Lu Yinghuai, who only brought humiliation to his wife: "..."

General Lu was in deep doubt.

How did this guy become the chief architect?

"Mr. Chen, you seem to have some misunderstanding about the relationship between Lu Yinghuai and me."

Jiang Xu was not very happy. This was even more unpleasant than hearing those people say that he relied on power-for-sex transactions to get to the top. He was unhappy when people said that Lu Yinghuai was not good.

"He and I are in a free relationship, and Lu Yinghuai has never disrespected me, if the disrespect you're talking about is what I did to make coffee for Lu Yinghuai in the office just now."

"Then I can only say that you can't look at things too one-sidedly. You only saw me making coffee for Lu Yinghuai, but you didn't see Lu Yinghuai learning to cook soup for me at home and arranging all my food, clothing, housing and transportation for me."

"In terms of respect, Lu Yinghuai respects me more than any of you."

"You keep saying that you like me and that you will respect me, but every time you say that, it's like you're reminding me that I'm different from you."

"I never feel that mermaids and humans have any difference in status, nor do I need respect from others. Respect is something I have earned myself, just like this period of time."

"You can't just give it to me with your mouth."

"I know you said these words out of your love for me and with good intentions, but perhaps because of your family background, Mr. Chen, you are born with a sense of superiority. Interfering in other people's lives and making decisions for others is a manifestation of your sense of superiority."

"Please don't say such things again in the future. I just hope that we can maintain a working relationship."

"Lu Yinghuai and I are doing fine. I love him very much and he loves me very much. There is no need for outsiders to worry about us."

The word "outsider" completely excluded Chen Zhi.

Having said this, Jiang Xu no longer had the heart to see whether the young engineering architect was sad or angry. He still had a lot of things to do and had no time to continue dealing with such a disturbing matter.

The moment he opened the door, Jiang Xu was stunned.

The fierce aura that was fully displayed when facing Chen Zhi just now was restrained, and the ice-blue eyes softened instantly: "How did you find this place?"

Lu Yinghuai didn't even look at the sad Chen Zhi in the conference room. He just said calmly: "I heard the employees outside coming back in your office. I didn't wait for you to come over, so I came to see you. Is it over? Lin Xun just sent a message for us to go to his place for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu walked up to him, and the two walked side by side. The plain but lifelike conversation reached Chen Zhi's ears through the crack in the door.

Jiang Xu: "Doesn't Lin Xun hate it most when I hang around his place? The sun is rising from the west today, and he actually took the initiative to ask us to go over for dinner?"

Lu Yinghuai: "Doesn't he like being useful?"

Jiang Xu: "Yeah, as long as Xiao Yan likes it, that's fine."

Lu Yinghuai: “…”

Jiang Xu: "Mr. Lu, can you please stop being jealous? Shi An and I are now brothers in the legal sense, and you are my favorite person."

Lu Yinghuai: “Yeah.”

Before coming, he stayed in the office and first asked Bu Ting to check the information of Zhao Qian and Sun Li, find the stains in their lives, and find a reason to kick them out of the Mermaid District Construction Working Group.

He was also thinking about how to deal with this love rival. After all, Jiang Xu worked here and he would be with him day and night.

General Lu even considered whether to transfer the person away, but then he changed his mind and thought that if he really thought jealousy was a "trivial matter" and arbitrarily transferred a chief engineer, it would only bring trouble to Jiang Xu.

He saw how much time and energy Jiang Xu spent to gain a foothold here.

Zuo Youjiang Xu would not even look at such a young boy.

General Lu had no choice but to suppress the jealousy in his heart and decided to just endure it. At worst, he could just come more often every day.

Let Chen Zhi and those other guys who coveted his beautiful mermaid understand that this mermaid has an owner.

He had convinced himself, but he didn't expect to hear such words when he came to the conference room to look for someone.

Now I no longer felt sad, it was as sweet as the cappuccino that Jiang Xu added sugar to.

When we went to Lin Xun's house for lunch, there was another commotion.

Life is full of ups and downs, and it doesn't have to be earth-shaking. Having a few good friends and your lover by your side is already the best.
