Spring Branches

When he took his first bite of food, Lu Chixie was already thinking about when to send Awang out.

After dinner, Awang didn't take the initiative to find a topic. He just answered whatever Lu Tangtang asked.

Even so, Lu Chixie was still unhappy.

I still feel that as time goes by, Lu Tangtang's heart will be stolen by Awang.

"Baby, I'll take you home." Lu Chixie wiped Lu Tangtang's mouth.

Just like serving her daughter, she dressed Lu Tangtang, zipped her clothes, put on a mask and a scarf, etc.

It seemed that Lu Chixie had also gotten used to this kind of life. He didn't find it boring day after day. Instead, he felt particularly calm and happy.

He enjoyed this feeling.

Lu Tangtang realized belatedly that Lu Chixie had not put away the work materials on the table, nor had he put on thick clothes.

She asked, “Aren’t you going back?”

Lu Chixie shook his head, "I still have work to do, you guys go back first, I'll be back to be with the baby after the meeting tomorrow afternoon."

"Then I won't go back either."

Lu Tangtang began to take off her clothes one by one.

"I've slept and I'm not sleepy anymore. Let's go back and sleep together tomorrow at noon."

Lu Chixie grabbed Lu Tangtang's hand but was thrown away. He frowned and said, "Tangtang, you are not listening."

"I don't care." Lu Tangtang held his head, feeling an unbearable pain in his head.

She tried to suppress it, but the pain was unbearable and she hit her head hard with her fists.

Seeing this, Lu Chixie frowned, and a cold aura emanated from his whole body.

It was even colder than the snowy days outside in the coldest months of winter, and it seeped into the bones.

It was unknown which words or which action irritated Lu Tangtang. She held her head and screamed, and overturned the food on the table.

Zhang Yuhan, hearing some strange noises in the room, hurried in.

What he saw was that Lu Chixie's hand was bitten by Lu Tangtang, leaving teeth marks on it. When he pulled his hand back, it instantly turned purple. Lu Chixie then inserted the tiny needle into Lu Tangtang's neck.

Zhang Yuhan covered his mouth and exclaimed.

Lu Chixie glanced at him with an icy gaze, and Zhang Yuhan was so frightened that his legs went limp, but luckily he held onto the door frame.

"Get out!" Lu Chixie shouted.

Lu Chixie put Lu Tangtang in the lounge in the office. He silently held her hands and guarded her by her side.

What exactly caused Lu Tangtang to fall ill again?

Lu Chixie felt that he had not said or done anything provocative.

After watching for a while, seeing that Lu Tangtang would definitely not wake up in a short time, Lu Chixie walked out of the lounge and asked Awang to call Zhang Yuhan in.

Lu Chixie asked: "Xiao Zhang, did you see anything just now?"

The inappropriateness just now faded away, and Zhang Yuhan regained his calm and capable appearance at this moment, and said seriously: "Boss, I didn't see anything."

Lu Chixie nodded with relief, "Nothing happened today, you didn't see anything."

Zhang Yuhan: "I know Mr. Lu."

Lu Chixie nodded again and stretched the muscles in his neck twice, making a creaking sound. "If I hear gossip about what happened today, I will..."

"You will kill me."

Before Lu Chixie could explain the consequences, Zhang Yuhan spoke before him.

Lu Chixie was very satisfied with this answer.

He said, "You have been working overtime with me these past few days and it has been very hard. After this is over, I will give you two days off so that you can have a good rest."

When Lu Tangtang woke up, Awang was by her side.

She looked around the lounge curiously.

The lounge was large and decorated in a fresh and simple style. It had everything it needed. The room was filled with a faint scent of mint and tobacco, which was the smell of Lu Chixie.

She loves it.

Just thinking about the scene of her attack again last night, my fists clenched unconsciously, and my nails almost dug into my flesh.

Lu Tangtang asked: "Awang, where is Hai Zhiyan?"

Awang said, "Boss Lu is in a meeting, it should be over soon."

Lu Tangtang got out of bed, opened the closet and looked around. All of them were Lu Chixie's suits and ties, with very few casual clothes.

After walking around, Lu Tangtang's eyes stopped on Awang.

She said, "Awang, I always feel that you have been very cold to me recently. Is it because I am sick and you are afraid of me, so you stay away from me?"

Awang was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "Sister Lu, what are you talking about? Maybe I caught a cold due to the weather, and I'm afraid I might infect you, so I'm keeping my distance."

"Oh." Lu Tangtang nodded and asked, "Then can I go find Hai Zhiyan?"

Awang said he didn't know.

Lu Tangtang didn't make things difficult for Awang and started wandering around the office again.

She was a little bored. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the snowflakes falling outside, but her heart was very warm.

I really want to have the chance to build a snowman with Hai Zhiyan.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door from outside.

Lu Tangtang and Awang turned their heads and looked over.

Then Zhang Yuhan walked in with two breakfasts.

She said, "Boss Lu guessed that you guys were awake and hungry now, so he asked me to bring you breakfast."

Lu Tangtang was very satisfied with Lu Chixie's attentiveness.

Looking at the table filled with her favorite breakfast, she couldn't help but smile faintly.

The two eyes are like shining stars.

"You should sit down and have something to eat." Lu Tangtang said to Zhang Yuhan with a smile, pushing her portion of soy milk in front of Zhang Yuhan.

Zhang Yuhan shook his head and smiled politely: "I have eaten this morning, thank you for your kindness."

Lu Tangtang nodded and started eating without refusing.

To be honest, she was still very hungry.

In a short while, I ate five steamed dumplings, two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk.

But I didn’t feel full.

Zhang Yuhan heard Lu Tangtang's stomach growling twice, and brought another breakfast.

Lu Tangtang said thank you and continued eating.

Suddenly thinking of the scene in the early morning, he looked up and asked Zhang Yuhan seriously: "You called me Asa at that time. Did we know each other before?"

“……” Zhang Yuhan took a deep breath.

She thought that this little fool had long forgotten what happened a while ago, but she didn't expect that he had such a good memory and even brought up the matter openly.

At the same time, Awang looked at Zhang Yuhan with cold eyes and signaled her with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.

"I just feel like you are a friend of mine." Zhang Yuhan said lightly, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Lu Tangtang's left hand.

The girl in front of her had the same face as the girl Zhang Yuhan knew, but the girl she knew was arrogant and domineering, while the one in front of her was weak and even a little silly.

But Zhang Yuhan knew very well that the girl she knew had a scar on the little finger of her left hand.

However, the little girl in front of me was missing half of her left little finger.

Especially when I saw Lu Tangtang’s silly smile.

Zhang Yuhan was very sure that the girl in front of him was not Asa!

"Friend?" Lu Tangtang looked up at Zhang Yuhan with a face full of curiosity and longing.

She likes listening to stories, as if she is participating in the life of the protagonist.

Whenever she has free time, Lu Tangtang would pester Lu Chixie and ask him to tell her about the past, wanting to know more about what the real her is like.

But the effect is not added every time.

Because Lu Chixie would never talk about the past Lu Tangtang, he would only talk about things related to him. Fortunately, Lu Chixie was also one of the pasts that Lu Tangtang wanted to hear about.

Zhang Yuhan was afraid that saying too much would cause misunderstanding, so he just said a few words to get by and hurried out of the office.

*

During the meeting, Lu Chixie watched the people above making PPT presentations, but his mind was all on Lu Tangtang in the office.

The matter is very serious. Lu Tangtang has seriously affected Lu Chixie's judgment ability.

Always distracted by other things.

If this situation had happened in the past, Lu Chixie would definitely have taken himself to the place where he should be punished and actively accepted the warning of punishment.

But now it's different, he can't accept the punishment.

Because when Lu Tangtang saw him injured, she would cry, have an attack, feel uncomfortable, and feel sorry for him.

Now he has given up and just wants to protect Lu Tangtang.

"Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Lu...?"

After the person above him finished his PPT presentation, he called him a few times, but he didn't respond and his mind was wandering again.

The shareholders are extremely dissatisfied with Lu Chixie's wandering thoughts in recent days.

Some shareholders even sat together to discuss whether they should find a new boss who was more serious about their work. This not only delayed the progress of the work, but also was very disrespectful to them as they were poor.

In the end, Lu Chixie was bumped by someone next to him before he reacted.

The person who introduced me said, "Mr. Lu, I have finished my speech. Do you have anything else to add?"

Lu Chixie coughed awkwardly, "I have no objection, let's see what others think."

"I don't have any objection either."

"I do not have either."

Only two people answered, while the others lowered their heads with an unconvinced look on their faces and said nothing.

This is so embarrassing.

Lu Chixie made a gesture and the people who had finished presenting the PPT sat back in their seats. He slowly stood up and turned his back to everyone.

The figure from behind looks aloof and powerful.

The cold voice pierced into the hearts of everyone present.

Lu Chixie said, "If you don't like my work, then you should surpass me in ability and I'll give you my seat. I know very well what you old antiques say about me behind my back. I've been busy lately, so I won't argue with you for now. We'll settle the score after this bidding is over."

After saying that, Lu Chixie walked out of the meeting room and slammed the door.

There were two groups of people in the meeting room.

One group of people lowered their heads in shame, while the other group held their heads high with an expression of defiance on their faces.

Lu Chixie made such a loud noise that all the employees on this floor heard it.

Especially when they saw Lu Chixie walking out breathlessly, they were scared out of their wits.

When Lu Chixie gets angry, he is indeed more aggressive than the previous boss.

The conference room is on the 25th floor, and Lu Chixie's office is on the top floor, the 26th floor.

The 26th floor was quite large, but there were only Lu Chixie, Zhang Yuhan, and two assistants, four people in total. The whole floor looked empty, and the decoration was not at all humane.

Lu Chixie walked into the elevator, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to someone, and then the elevator reached the 26th floor.

When Zhang Yuhan and his two assistants saw Lu Chixie walking out of the elevator, they stood up respectfully, nodded, and then sat down again to continue working.

The meeting lasted the entire morning.

Lu Tangtang and others were so bored in the office that they couldn't stand it anymore. When they were about to go out for a walk, they ran into Lu Chixie who was holding the door handle and pushing it inside.

She smiled happily, threw herself into Lu Chixie's arms, and called sweetly: "Baby, you finally finished the meeting!"

Lu Chixie kissed her forehead gently and said, "Are you bored? Do you want to go back to sleep or take you out to play?"
