Chapter 384: Chapter 384: A Surge of Euphoria as If Surviving a Calamity Chapter 384: Chapter 384: A Surge of Euphoria as If Surviving a Calamity “It’s fine. I was just…” Lu Youxi scrambled for an excuse, “I had planned on visiting Chengzhou Technology anyway, so I thought I’d drop by to see you.”
Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but think about the last ti Lu Youxi ‘dropped by’ to see him, which didn’t end very well.
But now that Lu Youxi knew about his identity, there shouldn’t be any other unpleasant incidents, right?
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the office,” Zhou Shuyan said.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shuyan called Shen Yanqing to ask, “Did you arrange a eting with Little Pink Book today?”
“No,” Shen Yanqing replied, puzzled, “CEO, do you need to arrange a eting with Little Pink Book under the guise of work?”
“No need,” Zhou Shuyan said indifferently, “proceed with your plans.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but wonder why Lu Youxi would suddenly co over.
Enveloped in anxiety, Zhou Shuyan found himself unable to finish his al, eating only a few bites before losing his appetite.
He tidied up and went straight to the front entrance of the company to wait.
It was lunchti.
As Zhou Shuyan arrived at the company’s main gate, many colleagues were returning from their lunch break outside.
Chengzhou Technology had its own employee cafeteria, but occasionally the staff would dine out for a change of taste or to discuss matters that weren’t appropriate for the cafeteria setting.
Now, as they returned from lunch and were about to enter the building, they saw the CEO standing at the entrance like a guardian deity.
Colleagues: “…”
What was the CEO up to this ti?
Soone stealthily checked the ti, “It’s not even one o’clock yet, isn’t it still before work hours?”
“Why is the CEO here then? He doesn’t need to co this early even to catch latecors.”
“The CEO has never caught latecors before.”
“Wait a minute, doesn’t our company have a flex-ti policy?”
“Oh, right, right, I forgot we have a flex-ti policy. So why is the CEO here?”
“I have no idea.”
“Last ti the CEO was at the entrance, he was waiting for the CEO’s wife.”
“I heard that when the CEO’s wife ca last ti, it was because they had a fight.”
“Could it be the CEO has done sothing wrong again this ti?”
People were guessing wildly, climbing up the steps to the company’s entrance with imnse pressure, each one greeting Zhou Shuyan and quickly heading inside.
But they were still curious about what Zhou Shuyan was doing at the entrance, so after they entered the lobby, they each sought out a corner to wait and see.
Unfortunately, that little corner quickly beca crowded, and more conspicuous than anywhere else.
Zhou Shuyan, however, didn’t seem to care even if he noticed.
Since he ca to wait at the company’s entrance, he wasn’t worried about being seen.
Colleagues pulled out their phones to inquire around, seeing if anyone knew what Zhou Shuyan was actually up to.
Finally, soone asked Yu Zeqin.
Yu Zeqin, who was eating at the employee cafeteria: “…”
What?
The CEO went to the company’s entrance again?
He had no clue.
Yu Zeqin indicated, “I’m eating in the employee cafeteria and have no knowledge of the CEO’s current actions, sorry.”
Judging by Zhou Shuyan’s behavior, it was very possible that Lu Youxi would be coming over soon.
Yu Zeqin decided he wasn’t going to show his face in front of Zhou Shuyan.
Zhou Shuyan wasn’t in a rush, just waiting there.
After about 20 minutes, he saw a taxi pull up at the side of the road.
A familiar figure imdiately descended from the car.
Shutting the door, the figure quickly ran towards this side, looking particularly anxious.
Zhou Shuyan hurried down the steps and strode towards Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi ran up to Zhou Shuyan and was caught by him, “Youxi, what happened?”
Lu Youxi, gasping for breath, didn’t speak, and took hold of Zhou Shuyan’s hand, striding towards the company’s interior.
Zhou Shuyan, puzzled, asked, “Youxi, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Lu Youxi didn’t say a word. Having been here once before, she rembered how to get to his office.
Thus she strode into the company and headed for the elevator.
However, she was stopped midway by a card-reading gate.
Zhou Shuyan hurriedly swiped his card for her and followed her in.
Their colleagues, intimidated by Lu Youxi’s deanor, didn’t dare to make a sound.
“Is the CEO’s wife angry again?”
“The CEO’s wife’s expression seems quite ominous.”
“Why does the CEO always make the lady mad?”
“It’s over, the CEO’s wife only cos when she’s angry.”
“If we encounter such a situation again, we won’t have to guess; it’s definitely because the CEO’s wife is mad, and the CEO will be waiting at the entrance to coax her.”
Amidst everyone’s speculation, Lu Youxi pulled Zhou Shuyan swiftly towards the elevator.
Zhou Shuyan carefully reminded, “The one at the far end is my private elevator, nobody else uses it.”
Lu Youxi then pulled Zhou Shuyan over to it.
After pressing the up button, sure enough, there was no need to wait – the elevator door imdiately opened.
Zhou Shuyan was pulled into the elevator by Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi pressed the button for the top floor and then the close door button.
Once the elevator door closed, Zhou Shuyan nervously asked, “Youxi, is it … did I do sothing wrong?”
Zhou Shuyan quickly reflected; he and Lu Youxi had just reconciled and hadn’t had ti to do anything that could’ve upset her.
He had co clean about everything in the past, without hiding a thing.
“Or did soone else talk nonsense to you?” Zhou Shuyan quickly raised his hands in defense, “I swear, whatever anyone else told you, it’s not true, I’m absolutely being wronged.”
Lu Youxi looked up at Zhou Shuyan, her gaze earnest and focused on his face.
It was the living, breathing Zhou Shuyan, saved from his fate of death in the previous life.
The Zhou Shuyan who was brilliantly talented and destined to lead Chengzhou to becoming a world-leading brand.
The Zhou Shuyan who would ensure that Chengzhou’s path only led uphill, never down, as long as he was there.
Lu Youxi watched him intently, her pupils slightly shaking as they settled on his eyebrows, eyes, and lips.
In this life, with her presence, she wouldn’t let this man co to harm again.
“Youxi?” Zhou Shuyan grew even more nervous under Lu Youxi’s gaze.
But unexpectedly, just as he had barely uttered her na, Lu Youxi suddenly raised her hand to cradle his face, pulling his head down while she tiptoed to kiss his lips.
Zhou Shuyan inhaled sharply in surprise, then was overwheld with a wave of ecstatic relief, as if having survived a great ordeal.
He had thought Lu Youxi was angry with him again, leaving him in a state of anxiety.
Who knew one second he was on tenterhooks, and the next second he was being kissed passionately by Lu Youxi.
What had suddenly gotten into the girl?
Zhou Shuyan closed his eyes, one hand cradling the back of Lu Youxi’s head, his other hand encircling her waist.
Lu Youxi, tipping on her toes with so effort, was promptly lifted by Zhou Shuyan, who wrapped his arms around her waist.
When the kiss beca too overpowering for Lu Youxi to breathe, they heard a ‘ding’ from the elevator.
Lu Youxi, still having her wits about her, quickly pushed against him.
