Several maids looked troubled: “Madam, please, if you go out, the Master will be unhappy, and we’ll lose our jobs.”
Jiang Nanshu saw their pleading expressions. Could Lu Qingyan really fire them just because she went out?
But she didn’t dare take the risk; they were all just working people, why make things difficult for each other?
So she went back to her room.
She didn’t even have a mobile phone; the only thing with internet access in the house was the security camera. Jiang Nanshu stared at the camera, speechless, and simply turned and left.
Six o’clock in the afternoon.
Lu Qingyan would be back on time at this hour.
Jiang Nanshu stood on the balcony watching his car return.
A man in a suit got out of the passenger seat and respectfully went to the back to drive.
Lu Qingyan wore a dark trench coat; his expression was indifferent, radiating an aura of unapproachability.
Jiang Nanshu noticed the tall, thin man beside him; he must be his secretary.
Ye Yuan looked up and met Jiang Nanshu’s gaze, but lowered his head after only a second.
He guessed that this was Mrs. Lu, who had been in a vegetative state for five years and then suddenly woke up.
Lu Qingyan seemed to sense something, looking up and immediately seeing Jiang Nanshu.
His cold, indifferent eyes melted away like ice and snow, revealing boundless tenderness.
Ye Yuan was completely stunned.
Was this really the same CEO Lu who usually considered even a smile a luxury?
Ever since he started working for him, he always had a cold face and never smiled at anyone.
The only time he had ever seen him smile was when he accidentally stumbled upon Lu Qingyan drunk, crying while clutching a photo.
The girl in the photo looked no different from the person now.
“Mr. Lu, the Jiang family has come many times. Mr. Jiang said he wants to give you a piece of land so he can meet…Madam.”
Lu Qingyan withdrew his smiling gaze, his tone unusually cold: “What are they? Just a piece of land. Tell Jiang Yisen that I can afford it. Tell them to stay away from my wife.”
Ye Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He really wanted to tell Lu Qingyan that the Jiang family was practically his in-laws.
His wife was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
However, given Lu Qingyan’s indifferent attitude, he dared not provoke him. It was common knowledge in the entire circle that he disliked the Jiang family, so he could only agree repeatedly.
Jiang Nanshu went downstairs to wait for him. Seeing him enter, she quickly went to greet him: “Lu Qingyan, when can I see Xi Xi?”
Lu Qingyan took off his trench coat and slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket, revealing only a white shirt.
“Wife, are you hungry? Let’s have dinner first.”
He took Jiang Nanshu’s hand and led her to the dining table.
Jiang Nanshu could now eat regular food normally.
As long as it wasn’t too greasy, it was fine.
The light dishes on the table were all prepared for Jiang Nanshu.
But Jiang Nanshu had no appetite and continued to ask, “When can I leave?”
“These boiled prawns are quite good; they’re fresh, tender, and bouncy—you should like them.”
Lu Qingyan peeled the prawns for her.
The tender, white prawn meat was placed in her bowl.
Jiang Nanshu, suppressing her temper, said, “Lu Qingyan! Are you even listening to me?”
He then ladled her a bowl of soup: “Drink some.”
Jiang Nanshu pushed his hand away, and the bowl fell to the ground, spilling soup everywhere.
Lu Qingyan glanced down at it.
Jiang Nanshu thought that he was going to get angry, and she curled her fingers: “I…”
He looked up, his expression still gentle, and took Jiang Nanshu’s hand to check carefully: “Are you burned?”
He gently blew on the reddened part of her fingertip.
Soon, a maid cleaned up the broken pieces of porcelain.
“Don’t be angry with me, it’s all my fault. Let’s eat first, shall we?”
He continued peeling shrimp for Jiang Nanshu.
Jiang Nanshu looked at Lu Qingyan with complicated emotions.
There was definitely something wrong with him, but Jiang Nanshu didn’t know what the problem was.
