Substitute subject to his outstanding acting

Xing Chi blinked and explained: "Nothing..."

"Just talk about it," Lu Zhirui said.

What can be the matter?Even Xing Chi couldn't tell what happened to him.

He squeezed the tableware in his hand back and forth a little awkwardly, and saw Lu Zhirui's brows became more and more wrinkled.

He had to force a smile, and said to Lu Zhirui gently: "I'm really fine, maybe I'm tired from working too much today. This duck soup is stewed well, would you like Mr. Lu..."

Lu Zhirui stared at him motionlessly.

Maybe his smile just now wasn't pretty enough.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhirui stood up.

"Eat it yourself." He grabbed the coat on the backrest and strode away.

Xing Chi was left behind with the table full of dishes.He looked at his distorted reflection in the wine glass and remained silent for a long time.

But over there, when Lu Zhirui got into the car, the expression on his face was still ugly.

"Boss Lu?" Ji Lan in the front row asked him carefully.

Lu Zhirui didn't speak, and stared out the window.

What a madness.he thought.The last time I was at his house, I left without saying hello, and today I came out for dinner, again with a preoccupied look, looking very annoyed.

Lu Zhirui didn't know why he was irritable, after all, before this, he had never felt emotionally affected by others.

His fingers buckled the armrest of the seat, the car was very quiet, the driver and Ji Lan didn't dare to speak.

Lu Zhirui, on the other hand, was irritated by himself.

It is true that he has nothing to do, and he can keep a funny gadget by his side to make him happy, but if this gadget starts to bring him unhappiness, isn't he just looking for something to blame?

This Xingchi is too inconsiderate.

Lu Zhirui knew that he didn't have to have him, so there was no need to stay with such a little lover who started to be arrogant and willful.

At this moment, Lu Zhirui's cell phone turned on.

It was a friend request, which said: "Hello Mr. Lu, I'm Pu Yuxuan. I met you at the reception two days ago. I don't know if you still remember."

Of course Lu Zhirui didn't remember.

He usually blacklists this kind of starlet who tries to post it, and asks Ji Lan to check where he got the contact information by the way.

But this time, Lu Zhirui's hand stopped on the black button.

He had to admit that Xing Chi had been very well-behaved for so long.

He will make a good meal and quietly wait for him to go home, and he will think of ways to create some small surprises for himself.He had a pretty smile, those eyes... for some reason, although they resembled Xie Jingjue, they were surprisingly pretty.

Especially when looking at Lu Zhirui seriously, with only him in his eyes.

There is an indescribable feeling about this person, gentle, gentle, and careful, but he can always grab Lu Zhirui's attention.

It's just an occasional tantrum, and Lu Zhirui doesn't think it's necessary to drive him away.

but……

Lu Zhirui's hand paused on the screen, and for the first time ever, he pressed on accepting friend requests.

Although there is no need to drive him away, there are some necessary lessons to be learned.

-

After that, Lu Zhirui didn't contact Xingchi for nearly a month.

Xing Chi knew that it was because of the unhappiness that day that they broke up.

Yue Ying was very anxious.

"What did you do to make Boss Lu angry, you have to apologize to him!" Yue Ying said.

Xing Chi didn't know what to say.

He didn't do anything, but he didn't manage his emotions well in front of Lu Zhirui, which made Lu Zhirui's dinner a bit disappointing.

How should I say such an apology?

In an equal relationship, there should be no need to perfectly control the emotions and expressions of the other party at all times, only the subordinates will.

This realization made Xing Chi a little uncomfortable.

He seemed to start to like Lu Zhirui uncontrollably, and this kind of liking couldn't be stopped at all.Because he likes it, he sees the other party's small actions differently in his eyes, causing him to have an illusion that Lu Zhirui may be different to him.

But now, with the cold water pouring down, he seemed a little sober.

It was him who changed, Lu Zhirui remained the same.

If it was Xing Chi from the beginning, he would definitely not take this matter to heart.Because of the disparity in status between him and Lu Zhirui, he has received so many material benefits from Lu Zhirui, he is not worthy of any emotions.

But now, such unworthiness is intertwined with his emotions, which makes Xingchi a little unbearable.

So, Xing Chi procrastinated again and again, until more than half a month later, he went to Lu Zhirui's company dilly-dally.

He saw Ji Lan at the door, and Ji Lan stopped him, hesitant to speak.

"There are guests in Mr. Lu's office," Ji Lan said.

"Oh..." Xing Chi didn't have much courage in the first place, so when he heard this, he simply said. "Then I won't bother Mr. Lu. I baked some biscuits here, please help me bring them to him."

With that said, he put another box of biscuits on Ji Lan's table.

"This is for you," he said. "You like sweet food, I specially added a little more sugar and cranberries."

Ji Lan looked at the biscuits on the table, was silent for a while, and said.

"Mr. Xing, I shouldn't have asked these words... But, you and Mr. Lu, are you not very happy during this time?"

Xing Chi didn't understand why she asked that.

Seeing Ji Lan paused, he continued.

"If there is any conflict, Mr. Xing, you should bow your head first." She said.

"What?" Xing Chi didn't quite understand.

Ji Lan hesitated for a while.

At this moment, the door of Lu Zhirui's office was pushed open.A young man came out from inside, and when he passed Xing Chi, he gave him a wink and smiled.

The man didn't say a word, let alone greet anyone, and strode into the elevator.

Xing Chi looked familiar to him.

It seems to be called Park Yuxuan, who just came back from Korea, and I heard that he is of Chinese and Korean mixed blood.He signed a contract with a well-known media company, he is two years younger than Xingchi, and has just debuted in China.

Xing Chi didn't speak for a long time, and finally turned his head with some difficulty, looking at Ji Lan.

Ji Lan met his gaze and couldn't bear it anymore.

It may be that Xing Chi's eyes made her feel distressed, and when she spoke again, her voice was much softer.

"This one seems to be getting very close to Mr. Lu recently," she said.

Ji Lan told Xing Chi a lot.

She said that this Pu Yuxuan was lively, docile, and very clever, and seemed to fit President Lu's wishes very well.He was very proactive. Although the company failed to give him to Lu Zhirui, he managed to get Lu Zhirui's contact information.

He has been to the company several times. A few days ago, Mr. Lu had already started taking him out for dinner.Now being able to enter and leave the Lu family at will is also acquiesced by Mr. Lu.

After saying this, she stopped and looked at Xing Chi.

Xing Chi lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"Mr. Xing." Ji Lan took a deep breath and said to him in a very serious tone which was rare. "I can see your intentions for Mr. Lu. If you...don't want to give up on him, please be soft. Mr. Lu probably won't pay attention to other people."

Ji Lan's words were not pleasant, but Xing Chi knew that she said that because she knew Lu Zhirui too well.

It seems that he himself has lost his head during this time, imagining Lu Zhirui, who has never changed, into a gentle and affectionate appearance.

After a long time, Xing Chi let out a long breath.

"Sister Lan." He said. "If Mr. Lu likes him very much, I think...it's pretty good."

Ji Lan was silent for a while.

"No," she said.

"why?"

"Perhaps...has Mr. Lu ever said that you look like a person?"

-

After Xing Chi left, Ji Lan took the box of biscuits and documents into Lu Zhirui's office.

As soon as he saw the biscuit box, Lu Zhirui knew who was coming.

He didn't raise his eyes, but the movement of flipping through the documents was a bit awkward.He pointed to the table and asked Ji Lan to put the things down, then, as if he saw it by accident, his eyes swept over the biscuit box, and asked lightly, "Who sent it?"

"Mr. Xing sent it just now." Ji Lan replied. "Mr. Xing heard that there were guests in your office, so he left first."

Lu Zhirui paused, then asked, "Did he see him?"

Ji Lan knew who the two "hes" he asked were.

"Yes," she said. "When Mr. Xing was about to leave, he happened to see Mr. Park going out."

Lu Zhirui didn't speak, but Ji Lan knew that he meant for her to continue.

"Mr. Xing seems... a bit sad." Ji Lan said. "I also persuaded him on behalf of Mr. Lu. Mr. Xing may be unhappy because of some trivial matters, and play a little temper with you."

The corner of Lu Zhirui's mouth hooked up slightly, and he immediately pressed it back.

"En." Lu Zhirui responded lightly, and continued. "There's nothing to do at night, let Xingchi come out. Have French food, you go and reserve a seat first."

"Okay Mr. Lu." Ji Lan agreed.

Lu Zhirui hummed, picked up the documents on the table, and stopped talking.

Ji Lan quit Lu Zhirui's office.

When she turned to close the door, she saw Lu Zhirui in the office through the crack of the door, picked up the biscuit box on the table, opened it, and put a piece in her mouth.

Ji Lan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what she wanted to say.

She wanted to remind Lu Zhirui that lovers will never be blindly obedient.

Mr. Lu is used to the stars and the moon, and even the people next to his pillow have to follow his heart at all times, obey him and obey him.He is too naive emotionally, thinking that treating a lover is like treating an opponent in the market, and using this method of touching the other party's bottom line to beat and remind, the other party will become obedient because of fear.

If it's just a small thing for fun, then there's nothing wrong with it, but if they are attracted to each other...then it will only hurt each other repeatedly and push each other away without knowing it.

Ji Lan silently closed the office door.

She also didn't remind Mr. Lu, who doesn't like sweets, that she took the wrong biscuit box, and the biscuit he was eating with great relish added a lot of sugar and cranberries.
