Chapter 694 Should I just go back?

It was a middle-aged man wearing a light grey suit. He had a thin line of mustache that made his appearance seemingly older with sharp eyebrows. If one were to see him, one would think him similar to Jafar.

However, despite his evil and sinister appearance, Lu Tian kept a calm composure as he looks at the man.

"Manager He, I hope you will keep this meeting confidential until the next meeting day."

Manager He looks up at the tall young man. He had a natural frown that made him look like he disliked everything in the entire world. However, when he heard Lu Tian’s words, his eyes closed, and a heartfelt chuckle sounds from him.

"CEO Lu need not worry about this. My lips are sealed like how my mustache is glued to my face."

"..."

Lu Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the middle-aged man. He slightly creases his brows and decides to stare at the man for a long second. He swore Manager He’s smile was one that can give a child nightmare for many years.

However, what can he say? Despite Manager He’s facial expression being one that can scare a ghost away, it was natural, and he was not evil.

After all, if he was, his (Manager He) four-year-old daughter would be afraid of her father.

Brushing these thoughts aside, Lu Tian smiles an unnoticeable smile.

"Due to Assistant Xu’s absence, I pushed the meeting date to today. I hope you do not mind."

Hearing his words that held no emotion, Manager He laughs again. He gestures a wave of his palms and shakes his head.

"Aiya, no need to apologize. Coming here is truly this company’s good fortune. After all, our CEO Lu has a busy schedule now that he is finally engaged."

The other day, he received a phone call from Xu Long stating that Lu Tian was going to personally visit the company he manages. Although there were still a few days, he did not mind that Lu Tian would push the date.

Thinking this, he remembers something and leans forward as if to tell Lu Tian a secret.

"What about your mother? Will we be keeping this matter from her?"

Lu Tian knew this question was going to be brought up sooner or later. Especially when Manager He is one of his mother’s people and someone she trusts without every questioning.

He glances at the middle-aged man then back at the dark building. He ponders in his thoughts for a quick second then turns away.

"Keep this from her."

Manager He stares at Lu Tian’s departing figure and he exhales sharply. He turns around and walks towards the building again.

He is one of the few people who watched Lu Tian and Lu Han grow up. He can be considered their manny.

Even though Lu Tian is an adult now, he is still the same as when he was young. Never wanting to trouble his parents with anything.

However, thinking about how Lu Tian is keeping this matter from Madam Lu, he (Manager He) can only heave a long sigh again.

"Madam Lu will be furious if she ever finds out about this."

Lu Tian enters the backseat of a black car as Jiangyu and Shaofeng enter the driver and passenger seats. As the car drives away from the building, he glances out the window and couldn’t help but let his thoughts drift to his wife.

Has she eaten? How is she doing? Do her legs hurt?

After they returned from the lake, he didn’t hold back and used his stamina on her again. However, he knew not to get too carried away as she had to work in the morning.

When morning came and he kissed her before leaving for work, he saw her exhausted face and he felt a wave of guilt wash inside him.

Wanting to make it up to her, he wanted to take her somewhere for a nice lunch. However, she called to tell him that she was meeting someone for lunch to discuss work matters.

He heaves a deep sigh and looks away from the window. Glancing at Jiangyu who was driving, he lightly shakes his head.

Due to Xu Long being off from work, Jiangyu has to be his driver until the man returns to work. However, he (Lu Tian) is curious. What does Xu Long do on his time off?

While Lu Tian remembered to think about his assistant, on the highest floor of Jade Condos, Xu Long was also thinking about his boss.

"Haa— I wonder if anyone is looking after boss... Did anyone remind him to eat? Who’s mopping the floor now?"

Xu Long laid on the dark couch in the living room and stares up at the ceiling of his new place. Another sigh escapes his lips then another and another.

"I miss work... Should I just go back?"

Turning his head to look at the huge floor to ceiling windows surrounding the living room, he sighs again.

"Why did I ever think living here was so great? It’s so sad, lonely, and most of all boring."

In the past, he never understood why his boss would opt to stay at Lu Corps instead of coming home. He thought the place was so wonderful. He even set a goal to live here one day.

Now that he has been given this penthouse, he now understands why his boss hardly ever comes home.

He sits up and looks at the dark interior design of the penthouse. He exhales sharply and cries without any tears to shed. Compare to this dark penthouse, his boss lady’s penthouse next door was bright and felt more like home.

"It’s also dark and gloomy. It’s like living in a dungeon."

Sighing for the hundredth time, he slaps his palms on his knees and stood up from the couch.

"Enough with the crying. Let’s go back to my old place and start packing."

After helping his boss prepare for the proposal and witnessing the event, he drove to Jade Condos to make himself feel at home. However, never did he think the place to be so cold and somber like his boss.

He shivers from a small chill and turns to look at the other dark couch. He heaves another sigh, but this time in distraught then kicks the couch.

"Lin Hui! Wake up! It’s already noon, how long are you planning to sleep?"

"Nn..."

Laying on the couch, Lin Hui groans in pain as his head felt like it was a drum and someone beating it nonstop.

He was the only person who left with Xu Long to check the man’s new place. However, as they didn’t have to work the next day, they decided to drink until they were too drunk.

Feeling the light thump of the couch from Xu Long’s kick, he groggily force himself to sit up with eyes still closed.

"It’s only noon. Why are you being so noisy?"

Xu Long scoffs in disbelief at what he was hearing. Unlike him who was fully dressed, Lin Hui was shirtless, and his perfectly toned body was one that could make any women drool. Even he is envious of that six-pack that is so tempting to touch.

Even both of Lin Hui’s upper arms were tattooed with roses giving him an even more attractive look.

He (Xu Long) was quite taken by surprise at this discovery of his friend. It’s no wonder he never noticed it in the past. Lin Hui was always clothes and even with a t-shirt on, the sleeves always hid the tattoo well.

He clicks his tongue in envy and grabs the man’s clothes that had been taken off. Tossing it to Lin Hui, he strides to the front door.

"Hurry up and get dress. You’re helping me move my things from my old place to here."

As much as he misses his old place, he already canceled the lease. Now, he has no choice but to live here or to become a bum in the streets.

He stops in front of the door and pulls it open. He pauses in his steps and looks back at Lin Hui with a glare.

"You have five minutes to get out."

His words fell with dominance and he strides out the door. However, before he could even take a step out, he was rooted to the floor and his cheeks flush a shade of red.

"Ah... Heh... Miss Zhao, good afternoon."
