Chapter 186 – I’m that parvenu’s daughter (3)

“Mr. Lu, you really obtuse when it comes to shows of romantic affection,” Ye Zhen asked, “Is it really strange for a wife to bring her husband lunch?”

The corner of Lu Beichuan’s lip curved up. He didn’t say anything.

This little woman definitely had something she wanted help with. Although she was stubbornly denying it now, he wasn’t in a hurry. Even if he didn’t ask, Ye Zhen would bring it up later.

They arrived at the 33rd floor.

The moment before the elevator doors opened, Ye Zhen intimately wrapped her arms around Lu Beichuan’s arm and tilted her head so that it was resting on his shoulder in a reliant manner. Ignoring the surprised employees at the front desk of the floor, she followed Lu Beichuan to his office with a smile on her face.

This was Ye Zhen’s first time coming to Lu Corporation and entering Lu Beichuan’s office.

Lu Beichuan’s office was spacious and imposing. On one wall, there were floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the prosperous city. His desk was in the middle. To the left of it, there was a set of comfortable and expensive sofas where guests could sit when he was meeting with them. On the right side, there was a door that led to a fully furnished room where Lu Beichuan could rest.

Lu Beichuan went to put the sleeping Zhouzhou on the bed in the resting room. When he walked out, he saw that his little wife had opened the lunch box on the table. She handed him a pair of chopsticks when he walked over.

Everything looked and smelled amazing. They were all dishes that he liked.

“Aunty Yue cooked this?”

“Of course.” Ye Zhen smiled. “If you want to eat something I cooked, I can do that. But, I’m worried that you won’t dare to eat what I cook.”

“As long as it’s something you cooked it, I promise I’ll eat it all.”

Lu Beichuan took the chopsticks from Ye Zhen and sat down at the table to eat lunch.

It was already past the time that he would normally eat. Now that he was no longer worried, Lu Beichuan, who had been working hard all morning, felt as if his stomach was crying out in hunger.

Ye Zhen was sitting at the table with Lu Beichuan. Resting an elbow on the table, she supported her chin in her hand as she watched him eat.

“Mr. Lu, you’ve been very busy lately, huh?”

Lu Beichuan glanced at her. “Did you hear something?”

“Of course.” Ye Zhen leaned back and lazily looked at him. “CEO Lu, I heard some rumors lately. I don’t know if you’ve heard them too.”

Lu Beichuan paused in picking up the next bit of food with his chopsticks. Hearing the unusual tone when Ye Zhen said those words, he swallowed the food in his mouth and put the chopsticks down. Remaining calm despite the situation, he looked at Ye Zhen.

“What rumors?” His combat ready appearance looked as if he was going to undertake a major test.

“Mr. Lu, why are you looking so nervous? I’m just worried you’ll feel bored while eating, so I’m choosing a random topic to chat with you. Quickly, eat. The food will get cold later.”

Lu Beichuan’s gaze slightly sunk. He didn’t quite believe in Ye Zhen’s attempt at downplaying this topic, but at her urging, he still picked up the chopsticks.

“Eat more leafy greens. They’re good for your health… Eat more meat too for a nutritional balance… You worked hard in the morning. Drink some soup. Eat more.” Ye Zhen ladled out a small bowl of soup for him and placed it in front of him.

Lu Beichuan picked up the spoon, scooped out a spoonful of soup, and brought it to his lips.

He heard Ye Zhen sighing out her grievance, “Mr. Lu, I heard some gossip today. I don’t know if you heard it too.”

“What gossip?”

“It’s like this. The media and a lot of forums are saying that you and Shen Weiyin are childhood sweethearts. According to them, the two of you have been deeply in love since you were young and that two of you made a vow of everlasting love. But, Shen Weiyin set a goal of making a name for herself in the entertainment industry and won’t give up until she gets the title Film Empress. You remained infatuated with her and waited for her for several years. Just when you waited until Shen Weiyin’s career had finally taken off and the title of Film Empress was within her reach, a parvenu’s daughter destroyed your chance at reaching your long-awaited dream.” Ye Zhen pointed at herself. “I’m that parvenu’s daughter.”
