ABRWF Chapter 389.1

Memories flooded back.

Lu Qingyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

His voice was soft and gentle: “Sweet dreams.”

Then he went back to his office chair and buried himself in his work.

He called Jiang Nanshu for lunch, took her to a restaurant, and then brought her back in the afternoon.

She was listless, not even wanting to use her phone.

“Lu Qingyan, you broke your promise. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Jiang Nanshu said, propping her head up, her tone sullen.

Lu Qingyan didn’t seem to feel much. He asked in return, “Aren’t you happy being with me?”

Jiang Nanshu thought for a few seconds before replying, “No, it’s just that you have to work, and you can’t always be with me, so I get bored.”

Considering Lu Qingyan’s feelings, she couldn’t say anything that would hurt him.

As expected, Jiang Nanshu’s answer pleased him somewhat, and he relented, “Then I’ll call Xu Xi to keep you company.”

Jiang Nanshu: “…”

That evening, Lu Qingyan was going to discuss a collaboration. It was said that there were five CEOs involved, including Lu Qingyan, at the familiar ‘Dragon and Phoenix Dance’ restaurant.

This is a popular place for business leaders in Beijing to conduct business; it appears quite formal, and there are many luxury cars parked outside.

Lu Qingyan arrived at 7:30.

Jiang Nanshu had even dressed up specially for this occasion.

It was just a pity that she hadn’t had a chance to truly appreciate it before she died.

Lu Qingyan’s shirt was buttoned up meticulously, while his suit jacket was open, giving him a somewhat languid air. He reached out his hand to Jiang Nanshu, and their hands clasped tightly together.

Lu Qingyan also liked holding hands; he liked the feeling of being able to grasp something.

His eyes were gentle, just like many years ago, and he smiled warmly at Jiang Nanshu: “Let’s go in.”

He longed to appear before the public with Jiang Nanshu, to add ‘mine’ before her name.

The private room was reserved on the third floor.

Jiang Nanshu leaned lazily against him: “How long do you want to talk?”

He reached out and brushed the stray hairs that fell beside her cheek: “Just the time it takes to eat a meal.”

Jiang Nanshu comfortably squinted her eyes, like a cat.

Lu Qingyan is truly good.

As long as she didn’t bring up questions that he didn’t want to answer, most of the time, everything seemed normal.

He put his arm around Jiang Nanshu’s waist, and the two of them walked into the private room.

Pushing open the door, she saw that the four CEOs were already there, each with their families. They seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Jiang Nanshu glanced around, raising an eyebrow. Among the four groups inside, she recognized several familiar faces.

The smile in her eyes and brows became even brighter.

Lu Qingyan introduced her directly to everyone: “This is my wife, Jiang Nanshu.”

Someone quickly stood up: “So you’re Mrs. Lu, who just woke up not long ago? You’re truly a wise and intelligent lady. Mr. Lu turned down banquets for almost half a month because of you.”

He chuckled, trying to smooth things over.

Jiang Nanshu glanced at Lu Qingyan in surprise, then smiled at the executive who had stood up: “I’m not very good at business dealings. My husband, Ah Yan, has been taking good care of me lately, which has caused some delays. Please don’t take offense, everyone. He’s a very serious person when it comes to work, and you won’t lose out by cooperating with him.”

Jiang Nanshu’s words instantly eased the tension among those present.

Who could blame him?

This patriarch of the Lu family wielded immense power and was utterly capricious. If he didn’t want to discuss business, he could leave you waiting in vain, and you wouldn’t even dare utter a sound of resentment. Even if you were angry, you could only keep it to yourself.

But Jiang Nanshu spoke so kindly.

The others echoed her sentiments, mostly saying things like following Lu Qingyan would lead to a promising future.
