Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets! Chapter 347 - 259. Play the Role of the Former Self
"Why does he care so much? What is your relationship with Mou Keyan?"
Only when they had left the Dream Realization Cafe did Zhou Sinin tug at the man’s arm, curious.
"Isn’t it obvious?"
Lu Jincheng tapped the girl’s nose.
"He likes Miao Miao, so he always suspects this and that, seeing everyone as a potential rival."
"Especially , almost the thorn in his eye. Normally, because of work, I’m quite close to Miao Miao, so of course, he doesn’t like it."
"If Deng Yuan cos and says so nonsense, don’t take it seriously."
"Oh... a sad boy trapped in the spell of love. Now I kind of understand him."
Zhou Sinin blinked, her soft tone rising suggestively.
Who isn’t a little jealous, after all?
...
The two of them spent the entire afternoon shopping.
Despite Zhou Sinin’s affluent background, which gave her quite the matching feel, she insisted on dragging Lu Jincheng for a shopping spree for the sake of the new car.
"I really don’t need clothes..."
"No, I won’t listen!"
Zhou Sinin floored the gas pedal, taking Lu Jincheng to Jiangcheng International Square.
The second floor of Jiangcheng International Square mainly housed n’s brands, and Zhou Sinin, holding Lu Jincheng’s hand, visited each shop.
The nature of won to browse but not buy was completely revealed, as she tried this on and took that off, tiring him to death.
On the entire second floor, Zhou Sinin only liked one casual shirt and even then she rushed to pay for it herself, insisting on reciprocation, refusing to let Lu Jincheng pay.
"I an, you don’t have to be so picky. Just browse casually..."
n always have little patience when it cos to shopping.
Mr. Lu found a place to sit down, leaving Zhou Sinin to try on various outfits.
He held his phone, constantly refreshing the silent Ran Dong WhatsApp group, feeling sothing was off.
"Stop the chatter. Burberry has a new trench coat out. Let’s see if there’s one that suits you."
They went to the sixth floor’s Burberry, and after Lu Jincheng tried on the new model, Zhou Sinin finally smiled.
"Co, try this one too."
Zhou Sinin tiptoed and stretched her hand to asure it against him.
The man was tall, with long legs, just like herself, a perfect mannequin, making everything look good on him.
She stepped back a few steps, circled around Lu Jincheng, admiring her own pairing, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Hello, please wrap up these two items."
Zhou Sinin pouted her lips indicating to the clerk to pack them up and then walked to the cashier, turning her back to pull out her phone.
While checking out, the long-silent Ran Dong WhatsApp group finally buzzed with Guan Yongyi’s response.
"Wow... Baby, you look really beautiful today! This group picture, it’s like flowers stuck in cow dung."
"Being a man is so simple. Girlfriend gets up at 7 AM to dress up, and he just takes a shower and that’s it, I feel bad for you."
"Which shop is this? It looks really tasty."
"Heart hand gestures aren’t trendy anymore, can you upgrade your affection-showing pose next ti?"
Zhou Sinin watched as ssage after ssage popped up, a smirk curling her delicate peach blossom eyes.
Looks like Guan Guan had just woken up.
The tone, the wording, the reaction all seed usual.
The sa aloof tone, disdainful attitude, and sharp comntary.
No problem.
That’s very Guan Yongyi.
After she paid, she instructed the clerk to hand the bags to Lu Jincheng not far away and began tapping on her phone screen.
"Did you wake up?"
"... This shop is called xxx, blablabla..."
"We’ve just finished buying clothes, now we are heading to..."
Everything being normal is the biggest abnormality.
Lu Jincheng next to her, seeing the ongoing chat in the group, quickly pocketed his phone pretending he wasn’t using it, too afraid to even respond.
Heaven knows how long it took Guan Yongyi to sit at ho alone, trying to display a sense of normalcy and adjusting to a façade of calm.
While Zhou Sinin was shopping for clothes, he secretly sent several ssages to Guan Yongyi.
But the ssages sunk like stones into the sea, completely ignored by her.
Of course, the biggest reason might be the fear that Zhou Sinin would accidentally see them and misunderstand, leading to an utter ss.
On the matter of nipping potential troubles in the bud, Guan Yongyi and Lu Jincheng easily found common ground.
Yet Mr. Lu possessed an extrely keen insight.
He logged into his streaming music account and stealthily accessed Guan Yongyi’s account, wanting to see whether she was sleeping or just spacing out alone at ho.
The answer was displayed right there in her playlist.
A whole row of sentintal songs filled Guan Yongyi’s entire afternoon.
Without a doubt, although she had agreed to Mr. Lu’s reasonable and sympathetic arrangent, she was still unhappy.
Unquestionably unhappy.
How can fairness ever be truly fair?
She wasn’t so robot to be manipulated at will; she had her own emotions.
Just like those few sentences she responded to her close friend, at that mont of being tested, she really wanted to revert to the old Guan Yongyi.
But even she was well aware.
There was no going back.
It would take a long ti, with deep breaths, to try and imrse herself back into who she used to be.
She needed to wholeheartedly act like her forr self.
"Guan Guan really can sleep, waking up only now."
After exchanging a few token replies, Zhou Sinin retook the man’s arm with a smile and said,
"Yeah."
Lu Jincheng nodded.
"By the way, you just ntioned, aren’t you going on a business trip to Hang City soon?"
Shopping finished, the pair headed toward the parking lot.
"There’s an infringent case, I need to be there in person."
"Will Guan Guan be going too?"
Zhou Sinin casually asked.
"I suppose so, I’m not quite sure what the law firm has arranged because we’ve hired Lawyer Shang Lingzhi."
Lu Jincheng paused before adding,
"Lawyer Shang is her supervising attorney, she might need to assist."
"I guessed as much."
"Oh..."
Zhou Sinin bit her lip, nodding as though she understood but didn’t quite.
"How long will it take?"
"Not confird yet, why, do you want to go too?"
Lu Jincheng turned with a smile, his eyes eting a pair brimming with water.
"Forget it, we’re not going on a vacation, and it wouldn’t be convenient to take ."
Zhou Sinin thought it over, ultimately giving up.
"Next ti, I’ll definitely take you."
Lu Jincheng smiled and gently pinched the girl’s palm.
In truth, his trip to Hang City with Guan Yongyi was the crucial bargaining chip for their Christmas exchange.
To reach a compromise for the short-haired girl, Mr. Lu painstakingly coaxed her for a good while.
Officially, it was for judicial work, but the ti outside of the courthouse’s eight-hour shift still belonged to them.
"Don’t stay away too long... I’ll miss you."
Zhou Sinin placed the bags in the back seat, sat in the driver’s seat without fastening her seatbelt, and plunged into the man’s embrace.
"It’ll be quick."
Lu Jincheng wrapped his arms around her waist, soaking in the girl’s refreshing presence.
"It’s just a lawsuit."
