Chapter 171 An Irreversible Situation
Chapter 171 An Irreversible Situation
Lu Xingchen and Zhao Wenjing were talking when Chen Xiaolin and Zhang Chun'er came over and sat down next to them.
Chen Xiaolin, who was sitting next to Lu Xingchen, asked, "What are you guys talking about hiding here?"
"Just chatting casually." Zhao Wenjing said as she glanced at Zhang Chun'er and pouted with disgust. Ever since the last badminton match, she had been a little disgusted with this person.
Zhang Chun'er saw her expression and smiled: "Wen Jing, you have lost a lot of weight and become more beautiful."
"How can you be as pretty as you?"
"Don't say that. You have good facial features. If you were to lose weight to over 90 pounds, you would definitely look much better than me."
Over 90 pounds is exactly what Teacher Zhang calls her. Zhao Wenjing immediately retorted as if something had happened to her. "It means that you are much prettier than me now."
Zhang Chun'er looked at Lu Xingchen and Chen Xiaolin with amusement, then looked at Zhao Wenjing and said, "I just said that I am a little thinner than you now. Wenjing, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Then tell us so that we can help you make a decision together."
Zhao Wenjing rolled her eyes directly.
"Let's eat, the food is cold." Chen Xiaolin smiled and tapped Zhang Chun'er's bowl, then looked at Lu Xingchen unhappily and smiled, "Is your injury not healed yet?"
"All right."
"But you don't look well."
"I didn't sleep well."
“Don’t just think about work.”
Lu Xingchen smiled at her and continued eating without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaolin suddenly pulled her collar and said, "There's foundation on your collar..."
Lu Xingchen wanted to stop it for a long time but it was too late. She had applied concealer to cover up the kiss mark on the upper part of her body, and when Chen Xiaolin pulled it down, the uncovered part below was exposed.
Zhang Chun'er stared with her beautiful eyes and was speechless for a long time.
Zhao Wenjing didn't see it clearly, but when she realized what it was, she immediately choked a few times, covered her mouth and coughed until her face turned red. She looked at Lu Xingchen, her eyes full of thoughts, "You actually have strawberries too, and you dare to say you're not in a relationship? Who on earth is that!"
Zhang Chun'er suddenly asked, "Sister Xingchen, are you dating Mr. Chu from Huaxun?"
"No way?" I did see the video of Lu Xingchen and Chu Zeyan in the company group a while ago, but Lu Xingchen had denied it earlier. Zhao Wenjing sighed, "Xingchen, you did a great job of keeping it secret, didn't you?"
Lu Xingchen pulled his collar and looked at her, "Indeed, we are in love, but not with Mr. Chu. The relationship between the two is not very stable at the moment. I will tell you when the time comes."
Zhang Chun'er looked unhappy. Chen Xiaolin glanced at her and turned to tease Lu Xingchen: "You are like this even without stability. What will you do if you become stable?"
Zhao Wenjing added: "Once you are stable, you may need to use concealer more often."
Zhang Chun'er laughed after hearing this, "I didn't realize you were so open-minded, Xingchen sister. You can be so open-minded even though your relationship is not stable."
Lu Xingchen looked at her and smiled, "There are many more that you can't see."
"No wonder so many people like you."
"I have to work harder than you who have 100,000 viewers as soon as you start broadcasting."
"You all have someone you like, but I'm the only one who doesn't. But Xingchen." Chen Xiaolin nudged her with her elbow, "You need to take care of yourself. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so don't act like you're still away from each other."
Zhao Wenjing seemed to have heard something, "Manager Chen knows who Xingchen's partner is."
Otherwise, how do you know that a short separation is better than a new marriage?
"I don't know." Chen Xiaolin smiled ambiguously.
Zhang Chun'er's face looked even uglier.
Everyone ate their meal with their own thoughts, and then left the cafeteria together.
Because Zhang Chun'er's office was on a lower floor and did not take the same elevator as them, the remaining three people took the same elevator to go upstairs.
As the three were talking, the elevator door opened and Li Zhen, Lei Ming and several people from the technical department were waiting outside.
Chen Xiaolin greeted first: "Boss Li, Boss Lei."
Zhao Wenjing quickly stepped aside to let someone in, "Hello, CEO Li, CEO Lei."
With Li Zhen around, no one else would speak first, but he just stared at Lu Xingchen in the elevator without any movement. Lei Ming couldn't help but say, "Boss Li, please go in."
Li Zhen came back to his senses, his eyes flickered away from Lu Xingchen's face, and he walked towards the elevator.
Chen Xiaolin cleverly gave up her seat and looked at Li Zhen with a smile.
Li Zhen's Adam's apple moved up and down. He swallowed down the panic in his throat and stood next to Lu Xingchen.
Chen Xiaolin talks to Lei Ming.
Lu Xingchen stood there expressionless, not even looking at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. Because of her hair, he couldn't tell where she was injured. Thinking of her, he turned to her involuntarily.
Lu Xingchen took out his phone and put it to his ear, then said to the person outside: "Excuse me, I have to go out for a while."
As she spoke, she walked out of the elevator which just opened.
Li Zhen was anxious, but because of the way she answered the phone, he saw the wound on the back of her hand, which was healed but still very clear, and he felt even more guilty.
Lu Xingchen really had a call to answer, and he really didn't want to be in the same elevator with Li Zhen.
After answering the phone, she took another elevator back to the office floor.
Chen Xiaolin was waiting for her outside, and when she approached, she asked, "Would you like to go for a cup of coffee?"
"I'm full and don't want to drink." Lu Xingchen said and walked towards the office.
Chen Xiaolin grabbed her arm, then took her in her arms and walked away. "You are so irritable, did you really have a fight? But your neck shouldn't be in the state of a fight."
"Hyolin, I really don't want to talk about this."
"Because of Chu Zeyan?" Chen Xiaolin asked directly. Seeing that Lu Xingchen just looked unhappy but did not deny it, she added, "To be fair, if I were a man, I would also be angry if my girlfriend had a scandal with another man while I was abroad. What's more, the other party was Chu Zeyan, and they were photographed in his own company."
"If you're still talking about this, I'm going in."
"Let's not talk about this." Chen Xiaolin surrendered, "Then do you know who Chu Zeyan is?"
Lu Xingchen looked at her, "Are you referring to him as the second young master of the Chu family?"
Chen Xiaolin shook her head, then whispered in her ear, "Yang Wenqi's childhood sweetheart, who is said to have proposed to Yang Wenqi."
After hearing this, Lu Xingchen finally showed surprise on his face, because Yang Wenqi was Lu Dingsheng's current wife.
Seeing her reaction, Chen Xiaolin stood a little further away from her and said, "It seems that you really don't know. Does Chu Zeyan know your identity?"
Lu Xingchen recalled the incident and finally thought of the night when Chu Zeyan saved her. She thought he probably didn't know, but she still replied, "I don't know."
"He doesn't know or you don't know if he knows?"
"I don't know, but Chu Zeyan and I don't have a relationship that needs to be known."
"I'm not surprised you think so, but what about him? What's his purpose in approaching you? You should be careful. After all, he and that person were once a couple who were about to get married. Who knows if he has any bad intentions."
Lu Xingchen looked at Chen Xiaolin for a moment and said, "I will pay attention."
