Spring Branches

In the following week, Lu Chixie often worked overtime until one o'clock in the morning.

Especially today, there is a schedule that must be presented at the meeting at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it has to be rushed out.

After the meeting in the afternoon, Lu Chixie asked Zhang Yuhan to order a meal. After eating, he locked himself in the office and started working.

No matter who it is, no one is allowed to disturb him unless he allows it.

This is a death order.

Zhang Yuhan dared not disobey.

At ten o'clock in the evening, an uninvited guest came to the Lu Group.

Zhang Yuhan stood at the door and didn't let Shen Siran in.

Shen Siran asked Zhang Yuhan to report to Lu Chixie, but she refused to go and used some excuse like Lu Chixie was busy.

Fortunately, Shen Siran has been in the workplace for more than ten years and knows the value of this.

It was simply because this secretary saw that she was prettier than her and was afraid that Lu Chixie’s soul would be seduced away by her, so she made up all kinds of excuses.

"I'll say it one last time, go and report it!" Shen Siran had lost his patience and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Zhang Yuhan followed Shen Siran's example and crossed his arms, saying the same thing as before: "Boss Lu said that no one can be allowed in without his permission."

"Then go and report it. Won't it be allowed after reporting it?" Shen Siran sighed and rolled his eyes speechlessly. He suddenly felt worried about Lu Chixie for hiring such a stubborn secretary.

Zhang Yuhan smiled sarcastically, "If you don't accept it, just call Mr. Lu to pick you up! Why are you being so arrogant to me?"

The stalemate lasted for more than half an hour.

Meanwhile, Lu Chixie in the office was on a video call with Lu Tangtang, and he was completely filled with sweetness!

This was the second time Lu Tangtang called Lu Chixie, urging him to go back early because she was afraid.

The first call was yesterday. I thought it was very new to be able to see real people on a video call. We didn't talk for a few words and then it was just an empty call. Lu Tangtang was sleeping and Lu Chixie was working. They didn't affect each other.

After Lu Chixie came back from fetching water, Lu Tangtang yawned and asked, "Are you sleepy, baby?"

Lu Tangtang nodded obediently: "Yes, baby."

Since their last in-depth contact, Lu Tangtang's temperament has become particularly gentle and sensible, and he has never gone crazy again. The two of them have also become particularly clingy, and no matter what they say, they will always add a baby or darling at the end.

If this situation happened in the past, and someone told Lu Chixie that one day he would gently call someone "baby baby", he would definitely beat that person to death!

For a man as strong as him, it is easy for him to get anything. He is vigorous and decisive in doing things and killing. That is Lu Chixie.

What do you mean, one baby at a time?

absurd!

Bullshit!

Lu Chixie: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, baby. The video is not hanging up. I will accompany you."

"Then when will you come back today?" Lu Tangtang pouted in grievance.

Lu Chixie looked at the information at hand, and then looked at the watch in his hand that was unique in the world.

It is now eleven o'clock and the work is two-thirds done.

Lu Chixie calculated, "If nothing unexpected happens, I can get back before 12 o'clock. If I encounter a bottleneck, it may be between one and two o'clock."

Lu Tangtang let out a sound and fell asleep, snoring evenly.

Lu Chixie shook his head and smiled, stared at the girl for more than ten seconds, and then went back to work.

As the slender and bony fingers typed a line of words on the computer, the office door was pushed open forcefully from the outside.

Lu Chixie frowned, raised his head, and saw.

Zhang Yuhan and Shen Siran hugged each other, pulled each other's hair, and said dirty words.

Lu Chixie wanted to finish his work and go home to be with his baby as soon as possible. He didn't have time to watch two women quarreling with each other here.

"What are you doing?" Lu Chixie asked solemnly.

Zhang Yuhan ran up to Lu Chixie and cried hypocritically: "Boss Lu, this woman insisted on barging in, and she refused to tell me who she was when I asked her."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuhan looked remorseful again and slowly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't keep watch and disturbed your work."

Lu Chixie lowered his head and rubbed his brows, and said coldly: "Yuhan, you go out first."

Although he was extremely reluctant, Zhang Yuhan still had a purpose and did not want to reveal his true nature, so he replied with a low "yes" and walked out.

The door closed with a click.

Shen Siran jumped up from the sofa angrily, and said in a high voice: "Lu Chixie, what's wrong with you? You didn't even answer the phone!"

"what's up?"

Lu Chixie wanted to hang up the video call, but the outcome would make him very tired and Lu Tangtang very uncomfortable.

Afraid that Shen Siran would say something that Lu Tangtang couldn't hear, she clicked the mute button on her side.

"I suggest you change your secretary! I can tell at a glance that she is a bad person."

Shen Siran's anger subsided a little, and he picked up the grapes from the fruit plate in front of him and started eating.

"It'll be useful to keep her."

As he spoke, Lu Chixie had already poured a glass of purified water for Shen Siran.

"Alright, alright."

Shen Siran didn't know what to say. After all, she was his own secretary, and she was doing important things. It was enough for him to know what was going on.

After eating the fruit, Shen Siran stood up and looked around the office carefully.

This office was the one that Lu Jinchuan had stayed in before. Except for the change of people, the style and design remained the same and it still looked the same.

"Why did you suddenly come here today?" Lu Chixie asked calmly, leaning on the sofa with his long legs crossed and a cigarette butt in his mouth.

“How does it feel to be the big boss?”

Shen Siran did not answer Lu Chixie's question, but asked the question that she was most curious about. She took a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and started smoking.

She is actually a heavy smoker. Sometimes when she is in a bad mood, she will smoke a pack of cigarettes in a row.

Lu Chixie raised his eyebrows, "I'll give it to you, why don't you try?"

Shen Siran smiled, "No, I don't. I like freedom. Your job will control me."

Lu Chixie felt the same way. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled a circle of white smoke. “If you are not forced into this situation, who would be willing to give up their freedom and live this life of going to and from work?”

Lu Chixie continued with the original question: "What exactly brought you here today?"

Putting away his carefree attitude just now, Shen Siran turned serious in an instant and said solemnly: "Lu Jinchuan ran away."

"what?"

"It was around noon, and he ran away after we finished." Shen Siran said, "I couldn't get through to you when I called you, so I asked your assistant and found you here."

Lu Chixie walked to the desk and as he had expected, Lu Tangtang woke up and was calling her anxiously.

Lu Chixie made a quiet gesture to Shen Siran.

Do Not Disturb is turned on.

Lu Tangtang said: "Baby, baby, can you hear me?"

Lu Chixie said: "Okay, it got stuck just now."

Lu Tangtang let out a long sigh, "I didn't see you when I woke up, I was worried."

Baby?

When he heard these two words, Lu Siran's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I never expected that Lu Chixie had such a gentle side.

The last time Shen Siran discovered Lu Chixie passionately kissing a girl, he thought it was the highest level of contrast for him.

The results are even more exciting than that.

However, when Shen Siran heard the girl's voice, he felt it was a little familiar. However, the tone was too soft and too sticky, and he couldn't decide whether it was the one he had in mind.

"Is anyone laughing, baby?" Lu Tangtang asked in a baby voice, frowning.

Subconsciously, Lu Chixie glanced over with a cold look.

Shen Siran didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he walked up quickly and greeted Lu Tangtang in the video.

"Hi, hello." Shen Siran smiled.

After seeing the girl on the video call, Shen Siran was sure that she was not wrong.

I just feel like something has changed about this girl?

When she greeted him, he looked confused and bewildered.

"Who are you?" Lu Tangtang asked vigilantly, his eyes darting back and forth between the two people in the video.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Chixie quietly pulled Shen Siran's clothes, tilted his head and mouthed two words.

"Silly."

Shen Siran frowned at first, then nodded.

"We are friends, have you forgotten?" Shen Siran still smiled, his smile was amiable, infectious, and without any harm.

Lu Tangtang nodded: "Oh."

Lu Tangtang asked again: "What's your name? I don't remember it."

Shen Siran: "Let Lu Chixie take you out one day, we can have a meal together and I will tell you about our meeting."

Lu Tangtang smiled, "Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting you."

After Shen Siran stepped back, he pointed at his phone as he left, opened the door and walked out.

Lu Chixie sat down and looked at the time. It was already twelve o'clock.

It seems that I will be back later today than yesterday.

She would be very bored when she was not with Lu Tangtang, but she did not dare to ask Awangzhi to accompany Lu Tangtang again.

Because Lu Chixie discovered that Awang seemed to like Lu Tangtang.

Although there is no evidence to prove it, Awang acted so well, and this man's seventh sense told Lu Chixie that Awang must like Lu Tangtang.

"Baby, when will you come back?" Lu Tangtang said, "I'm hungry."

Lu Chixie frowned, "I asked the servants to bring you food, didn't they do it?"

Lu Tangtang shook her head, "No, no, they brought the food, but I didn't eat it. I wanted to wait for you to come back and eat together."

...

Fearing that Lu Tangtang's skipping dinner would irritate her nerves and cause her to fall ill, Lu Chixie asked Awang to bring Lu Tangtang to the company.

After dinner, I deal with work, which usually takes around four or five o'clock.

Lu Chixie planned to send Lu Tangtang back to the apartment after finishing his work, and then come to the company to make preparations.

After hanging up the video call, Lu Chixie called Awang, and then opened the chat box with Shen Siran.

Shen Siran sent two encrypted files and the cracking password.

Study it carefully.

From the beginning, Shen Siran was an undercover agent arranged by Lu Chixie to be beside Lu Jinchuan. She had done him a favor and was willing to suffer this flood.

She approached him, seduced him, and he fell in love with her. She would tell Shen Siran about everything that happened around her, big or small. She regarded Shen Siran as her other half.

After two years of hard work, he finally had the biggest bargaining chip to defeat Lu Jinchuan.

As I was watching, Shen Siran sent me a voice message.

She said: Lu Chixie, I won’t work with you anymore after this is over.

Lu Chixie just replied "OK" and didn't ask any more questions.

Although Shen Siran's heart was broken and she even had no heart before she met Lu Jinchuan, Lu Jinchuan was not a pushover either.

When she was gentle, he would protect her. The cold heart gradually melted. Sometimes Shen Siran even thought of some things and felt strange. How could such a smart person like Lu Jinchuan be careless again and again? It was nothing more than him turning a blind eye and deliberately letting her go.

After reading the contents of the document, Lu Chixie let out a long sigh.

Judging from the time, they should be here soon.

Lu Chixie called Zhang Yuhan.

Lu Chixie said, "When guests come in a little while, bring in two glasses of water."

Zhang Yuhan nodded, "Okay, Mr. Lu."

While Zhang Yuhan was drinking water in the tea room, a man and a woman walked into the elevator. They were both wrapped up tightly, especially the girl.

The girl's sixth sense told her that this girl was the one Lu Chixie had been silently caring for.

When she brought the water in, the man and woman took off their outer clothes, and the girl sat on Lu Chixie's thighs in a sticky manner.

"..."

Zhang Yuhan felt that this girl was very familiar, so she took her away to take a closer look and was very sure that she knew this girl!

Zhang Yuhan put down the cup, looked at Lu Tangtang's gentle smile, and asked tentatively: "Asa?"

After hearing this name, Lu Chixie frowned subconsciously.

During the ten years that Lu Tangtang was abroad, she used this English name. Only her classmates and friends in the United States knew this name.

This is the past that Lu Chixie didn't want Lu Tangtang to mention. The cause and consequences of this past were very serious and might irritate Lu Tangtang's nerves, thus reminding her of these unpleasant things.

"Zhang Yuhan, please step back." Lu Chixie said coldly.

Zhang Yuhan also saw the irritation on Lu Chixie's face. He didn't dare to continue to recognize him and walked towards the door.

"Who is she, baby?" Lu Tangtang asked with curiosity, looking at Zhang Yuhan's back and then at Lu Chixie's indifferent face.

Lu Chixie: "She is just my secretary."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhan paused subconsciously.

With a strong premonition, Lu Chixie emphasized the word "secretary", as if it was conveying a message to her - they would always be in a superior-subordinate relationship.

If that's the case, Zhang Yuhan thought...

"Oh oh oh."

Lu Tangtang jumped down from Lu Chixie's lap, walked happily to the coffee table beside her and squatted down.

As I smelled the food that Awang had just heated up, my stomach started to growl.

Lu Chixie came over and sat on the sofa, with a doting look on his face: "Are you very hungry?"

After setting up all the food, Awang said calmly, "Brother Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll go down and wait. You guys eat first."

Lu Chixie nodded, "Yeah."

Awang turned to leave. Lu Tangtang grabbed his clothes and looked at Lu Chixie with watery eyes: "Baby, Awang was woken up in the middle of the night to send me here. It must be very hard. Let him sit down and eat with us."

Although he was very reluctant, Lu Chixie finally nodded and agreed.

During the time that Lu Chixie was working in the company, Awang was always with Lu Tangtang, and Lu Tangtang developed an inseparable feeling for Awang.
