Chapter 940: Nine hundred thirty-eight, list
He opened the docunt, looking for the na that made his heart skip a beat, but after scrolling through it several tis, he still couldn’t find Luo Shu’s na. “What’s going on?”
Putting down the docunt, Lu Hanmo reached for the phone beside him and dialed out, waiting for the other party to pick up and asking: “Who modified the list of nas for the dical conference?” He must make sure Shushu attends, only by doing so could he see her.
“Commander Song modified it,” the person on the other end replied with trepidation. Both Lu Hanmo and Song Xiran were commanders; he was just a lackey who had to obey orders.
“Change it back!” Lu Hanmo commanded in a stern voice. Missing this opportunity would make it very difficult for him to see Shushu again.
“Commander! Could you discuss it with Commander Song yourself?” The person asked awkwardly. If he changed the list, Commander Song would surely co after him too.
Lu Hanmo’s brow slightly furrowed as he spoke coldly: “You don’t need to worry about the list anymore.” After finishing, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the list again, Lu Hanmo irritably tossed it aside. Currently, the Lu family and the Song family appeared harmonious on the surface, but were actually locked in a covert struggle. If he insisted on changing the list, it would definitely draw Song Xiran’s attention to Shushu.
Song Xiran was a suspicious person, and he feared that he might secretly do sothing to harm Shushu. That was a risk he couldn’t take. Yet, the thought of not seeing Shushu made his heart ache.
Without the mood to continue reviewing docunts, Lu Hanmo stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside. He had thought himself to be a detached person, but unexpectedly, once he fell for soone, he couldn’t control the passion in his heart. However, given the significant age difference between him and Shushu, even if he had feelings for her, he could only bury them deep in his heart.
“Knock, knock, knock!” A gentle knocking sound ca from the door.
“Co in!” Lu Hanmo withdrew his gaze and turned to walk back to his desk to sit down.
A young man wearing black-frad glasses pushed the door open and approached the desk. He handed a docunt to Lu Hanmo, “Commander! Here’s a docunt that needs your signature for approval.”
“Leave it!” Lu Hanmo nodded slightly. He was not in the mood to read docunts.
“Alright!” The young man acknowledged, placed the docunt on the desk, and then turned and left.
Lu Hanmo picked up the cup of tea on the desk, his eyes inadvertently glancing at the words on the docunt, and he paused for a mont.
He reached for the docunt, flipped through it, and upon seeing the content, a joyous smile uncontrollably spread across Lu Hanmo’s face, “Shushu is being transferred to work by my side, this is really wonderful!” Then he would be able to see her every day.
Feeling the warmth on his leg, Lu Hanmo looked down only to find that he had accidentally knocked over the tea. But he didn’t care about that right now.
Putting the rest of the tea aside, he read through the contents of the docunt over and over, his resolute face always wearing a joyous smile.
Having received the notification, Luo Shu drove to the Lu family’s residence. Seeing Lu Hanmo standing at the entrance, a radiant smile spread across her face.
“Uncle Lu!” Luo Shu walked up quickly.
“Here!” Lu Hanmo nodded slightly, his profound eyes smiling warmly as they looked at Luo Shu. If one looked closely, they could see the deep affection brimming in the depths of his eyes.
Luo Shu stepped forward and walked beside Lu Hanmo, reaching out to loop her arm through his, “Uncle Lu, from now on, I’ll be your private doctor. If you feel any discomfort, please don’t hesitate to tell .”
Lu Hanmo’s heartbeat instantly beca erratic. Luo Shu’s softness, the fragrance emanating from her, all of it was affecting him, making him really want to pull her into his embrace.
Realizing his own indecent thoughts, Lu Hanmo frowned and pulled his arm away from Luo Shu’s. Shushu simply regarded him as an elder, which is why she was so close to him, yet he allowed himself to harbor inappropriate feelings.
A sly smile flashed across Luo Shu’s eyes as she sat down on the couch with Lu Hanmo, “Uncle Lu, let take your pulse.” In her past life, how had she failed to notice Hanmo’s many flaws? Otherwise, she would have captured his heart long ago, and they wouldn’t have missed their chance just like that.
“No need,” Lu Hanmo said in a subdued tone. With Shushu sitting so close, he truly couldn’t calm his mind.
“Does Uncle Lu dislike Shushu?” Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo with injured eyes, her orbs like stars veiled with a thin mist of Water, appearing so pitiful and touching. No matter if it was in this life or the next, she was determined to have him. This chance to return to this world may have been given to her just so she could redy the regrets of her past life. Therefore, until she figured out a way to return, she would cherish the present and make up for those regrets.
“Not at all,” Lu Hanmo hurriedly shook his head. The way Shushu looked now, he only wanted to hold her in his arms, console her, love her. How could he not like her? It was precisely because he liked her too much that he feared scaring her away, which is why he dared not get too close.
He was afraid he couldn’t control himself and might do sothing to hurt Shushu. In front of her, his pride in his self-restraint had already flown out the window.
“Then why won’t you let take your pulse?” Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo, sniffing pitifully.
Lu Hanmo’s heart ached, and he hastily stretched out his hand, holding it out to Luo Shu, “Go ahead and take my pulse.”
Luo Shu imdiately bead a radiant smile, reaching out to touch Lu Hanmo’s wrist, “Uncle Lu’s pulse is strong, but his heartbeat seems a bit fast.”
Lu Hanmo looked sowhat flustered, quickly retracting his arm, “As long as it’s healthy, that’s good.” It’s normal for his heartbeat to be rapid; today was the first ti he sat so close to a woman. And this woman was soone he liked, how could he not be nervous? How could his heart not race?
“Uncle Lu is naturally healthy, Aunt Lu must be very fortunate.” Luo Shu grinned like a sly fox. Aunt Lu is herself, after all!
“I’m not married yet, I haven’t liked anyone,” Lu Hanmo rushed to explain. Only after did he realize that he probably shouldn’t be discussing these matters with Luo Shu, given that she was his junior, which made it quite inappropriate.
Luo Shu raised her eyebrows, “Then what kind does Uncle Lu like? Maybe I can introduce soone to you!”
“I like…” soone like you, Lu Hanmo almost blurted out but fortunately stopped himself in ti. If he had said it out loud, it would have certainly frightened Shushu away.
“Like what?” Luo Shu stared at Lu Hanmo intently, her clear black and white eyes shimring with curious delight.
Under Luo Shu’s gaze, Lu Hanmo’s heart started beating uncontrollably fast, and he coughed lightly, standing up, “I’ll take you to your room.” If this continued, his heart would leap out of his chest.
