Chapter 193 Touching Lu Jinye’s Cheek

The moment Mu Zhi stepped into Lu Jinye’s company, she felt a sense of familiarity.

She did not know why. She had always felt that her destiny was to be a doctor. Being Lu Jinye’s

secretary was just something she did to spend her days. However, this time round, she felt an

inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She walked in slowly and when she reached the top floor, she walked into the secretary room. She

instantly felt a strange welcoming atmosphere.

“Welcome back, Secretary Mu!”

It was Linda who said that first. She then gave Mu Zhi a bouquet on behalf of the other secretaries.

Mu Zhi took over the bouquet and expressed her gratitude to Linda.

She then headed to where she used to sit. But when she turned around, she realized that there were

many files placed on the table and chair. There was no place for her to sit.

She wanted to clean up.

Linda hurriedly stopped her. “Secretary Mu, you don’t sit here anymore. Don’t rush to clean up.”

“The assigned position is secretary, isn’t it?”

Mu Zhi questioned.

“Didn’t Mr. Lu tell you? Shouldn’t husband and wife communicate more?

She could not bluntly ask about their relationship, but she could not restrain her inquisitiveness.

So Linda slowly peeled the onion.

Mu Zhi shook her head and asked, “Hasn’t Lu Jinye been working overtime recently?”

The secretaries should know if Lu Jinye had been working overtime.

After Mu Zhi’s reminder, the secretaries’ curiosity level slowly declined. They explained, “Mr. Lu said

that you will be working in his office, so we didn’t clean up your old place.”

Mu Zhi was surprised.

“What do you mean… Working in Mr. Lu’s office?”

Lu Jinye must be out of his mind. She did not want to face Lu Jinye while working. She could easily

develop psychological trauma from that.

“For real?”

They used to joke around a lot with Mu Zhi. This time, Mu Zhi wondered if Linda made a deliberate joke

just to test her out.

However, Linda did not seem to be joking at all. Instead, she nodded seriously and said, “Yes.”

“Where is Lu Jinye?”

Mu Zhi gazed at Linda intently.

She asked when she was sure that Linda was no longer speaking.

Linda pointed at Lu Jinye’s office, “He should be in his office.”

Mu Zhi stood up instantly and hurried towards Lu Jinye’s office.

Lu Jinye had just drunk a cup of coffee. Still feeling a little tired, he laid on his chair with his eyes

closed.

He could feel the emotion of the person knocking at the door. Without any hesitation, he said, “Please

come in.”

There was only one person that could show her temper in front of him. That person was none other

than Mu Zhi.

Therefore, Lu Jinye did not even open his eyes. He kept his eyes shut and heard Mu Zhi’s voice. “Why

should I work in your office?”

“So that it is convenient for us to communicate.”

A faint smile flickered across his lips. He was confident that nothing could beat the reason he gave.

“We have a working relationship. There is no need for such communication. I should work in the

secretary room.”

Mu Zhi realized that she should not be so straightforward with Lu Jinye.

She had to… Be calm.

Therefore, she tried to talk some sense into Lu Jinye.

However, Lu Jinye opened his eyes and looked at Mu Zhi. Instead of answering her, he handed her a

document.

“Have a look at this. You are coming with me to a business meeting.”

“…”

In an instant, Mu Zhi did not know what to do. She was trying to keep everything professional with Lu

Jinye.

“Lu Jinye, I’m being serious with you!”

Mu Zhi had to remind Lu Jinye.

However, Lu Jinye had already picked up his jacket, turned his head and looked at Mu Zhi confidently,

“What’s the matter? What I said was business, wasn’t it? Is there anything more serious than work?”

Mu Zhi was speechless.

His words had shut Mu Zhi completely.

Lu Jinye smiled with satisfaction. “Let’s go to the meeting first. We can talk about the rest later.”

With that said, Lu Jinye had already left the office. Mu Zhi hesitated for a moment. She then took the

document with her and followed suit.

When they came to the underground garage, Lu Jinye gave the key to Mu Zhi, indicating that he

wanted Mu Zhi to drive.

Mu Zhi looked at Lu Jinye skeptically. Lu Jinye only gave her a word, ‘Sleepy’.

Mu Zhi had no choice but to drive.

However… It was only her first day of work, so she could not go to a business meeting with Lu Jinye

without any preparation. Even though she had had great chemistry working with Lu Jinye before, it had

been a while since she worked. She felt that she should at least understand the work content

beforehand.

She then turned her head, wanting to discuss it with Lu Jinye.

She saw that Lu Jinye had already fallen asleep. Even when he was sound asleep, his look remained

cold and distant. His brows were still tightly locked.

And his breathing was getting heavier.

She brushed off the thought of waking Lu Jinye. He had been too tired these few days.

Before driving, Mu Zhi called Linda and asked about the meeting time. She was told that the meeting

point would take an hour’s car ride. Looking at the time, there was two hours left. So she took her time

to drive to the destination.

Upon reaching the destination, there were twenty minutes to spare. Mu Zhi did not wake Lu Jinye.

Instead, she watched as Lu Jinye slept.

At that moment, the tension between Lu Jinye’s brows seemed to have lessened.

How tired he was to be sleeping at this hour?

Mu Zhi suddenly had a moment of realization that she had been neglecting Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye used to have stronger endurance. He could stay up for nights just to close a business deal.

It was all thanks to Lu Jinye’s intelligence and hard work that the Lu Family could have all its glorious

achievements.

Many were astonished by his tremendous vigor.

However, it seemed that this business battle was doomed to be defeated before it had even started.

The Lu Jinye she knew earlier had never looked so tired.

But now… Exhaustion was written all over Lu Jinye’s face.

When she was about to touch Lu Jinye’s cheek, Lu Jinye suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, he seemed to be full of energy, not as tired.

“What did you want to do to me?”

Lu Jinye frowned and looked at Mu Zhi.

Being caught red-handed, Mu Zhi was a little embarrassed.

“Nothing. There was a little bug just now. It’s almost time, we should go.”

Mu Zhi changed the subject and got out of the car hastily.

Not far away, a man got off from a Bugatti when Mu Zhi stepped out of the vehicle. And that man

turned out to be Xie Xiu!
