Lu Chengwen was puzzled: "Sister, can I ask what you're thinking?"
"No need to think. Since you, Young Master Lu took over Da Sheng Group, you haven't made any losing deals, so whatever you invest in, I'll invest in too."
Lu Chengwen broke out in a sweat.
[Isn't this just wasting ti for nothing!? I've co full circle back to this again!]
[I'm definitely going to lose money on the shantytown project. What are you aiming for? Even if I bankrupt my family, I'm not afraid. Your Cold Family can't afford to ss around anymore!]
[Moreover, Long Autian and your dad are still waiting for good news from my side! If you're determined to invest in a losing project with , won't they tear apart alive?]
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen's confused expression, laughing uncontrollably.
"Look at you, looking so scared of my dad and Long Autian?"
Lu Chengwen said seriously, "I'm telling you seriously, you really can't touch the shantytown project."
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen. "Brother Chengwen, tell honestly, do you still... like ?"
Lu Chengwen was suddenly dizzy.
He looked at Leng Qingqiu's serious expression and quickly shook his head, "No, I don't like you anymore."
Leng Qingqiu's eyes instantly dimd. "Since when did you stop liking ?"
"I can't say for sure, but... let's settle the engagent first. If you can quickly make money with this project, and if you can team up with Long Autian, the Qianfeng Group will definitely regain its montum. By then, there will be no need for the engagent, and you'll be free to pursue the boy you like without enduring soone like ."
Leng Qingqiu said, "I suddenly..."
"Ah?"
Leng Qingqiu beca nervous, suddenly feeling her heart pounding fiercely.
Seeing Lu Chengwen frowning at her, earnestly waiting for her next words, she beca so nervous that she started sweating.
"I..."
"What's wrong?"
Leng Qingqiu's mouth moved for a while, finally summoning the courage to say, "I think... I've started to like you."
Lu Chengwen widened his eyes, his mind montarily blank. "What... did you say?"
"I said, I like you."
Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu, mouth half-opened, completely motionless.
Leng Qingqiu's face turned crimson. "These days without you... I feel... very uncomfortable."
She shyly lowered her head, chuckling softly, "I know this sounds crazy, but... I feel like I can hear your inner thoughts, and know your true feelings. I feel... you're a good person."
Lu Chengwen felt like he had been struck dumb, still motionless.
After a while, Leng Qingqiu pursed her lips. "So... if you're willing, if you don't dislike ... starting today, I'll be your girlfriend. The engagent next month..."
Leng Qingqiu was extrely nervous, and even a bit incoherent.
Her heart was pounding like a drum, thumping so loudly it seed like her whole body was reverberating.
"...if you think the engagent is too rushed, we can postpone it for a while, get to know each other first, try... being in a relationship together, and then... tell our families..."
Lu Chengwen was petrified, still motionless, showing no reaction.
"It's okay if you don't agree."
Seeing Lu Chengwen's lack of response, Leng Qingqiu's mind was already in a ss.
Overthinking was a girl's instinct. At this mont, she went from excitent and nervousness to anxiety and misery.
"I'm not indispensable to you either. But... actually... we can take it slowly. I don't want to rush you. Just... I have many flaws, and I need you to be more tolerant. But you also need to make so changes, after all... I... I plan to... give myself completely to you..."
After Leng Qingqiu finished speaking, she was too shy to lift her head.
But Lu Chengwen still had no reaction.
Finally, Leng Qingqiu realized sothing was wrong.
She lifted her head to look at Lu Chengwen. "Chengwen, are you okay? Can you say sothing? Please?"
Leng Qingqiu waved her hand in front of Lu Chengwen's eyes, but there was no response.
"Chengwen? Are you okay? Hey?"
Leng Qingqiu took out her phone. "Hello, 120? I need to report an ergency, there's soone here who's crashed. Completely unresponsive, like he's frozen. What caused it? Well... I confessed my feelings to him, told him I liked him, and he crashed. He's just... frozen, no response at all. How did it happen? How should I know! You're the doctor, you tell ? I can't explain it clearly! Hurry up and send soone over. We don't need undertakers, he's just crashed, not dead..."
...
Lu Chengwen returned ho, his eyes dull, like a walking corpse.
It's over, completely over.
The leading lady! The top-tier leading lady! The queen of harems!
Confessed to !
What kind of plot twist is this!?
This isn't a confession, this is the death knell announcing my encounter with the King of Hell!
As a villain, I've succeeded in wooing the leading lady!?
I'll be in deep trouble if the male lead doesn't kill !
No matter who writes this plot, I'm dood! There's no way out!
What did I do wrong!? Where did I go wrong?
I've been actively encouraging you to dislike , trying to make you hate , keep you away from ...
Does the leading lady have a screw loose in her head? I'm this despicable, and you're confessing to ?
Do you even have any standards for finding a partner?
So, if you don't pay to death, do you all think sothing's missing?
Lu Chengwen was completely out of his mind, stumbling into the living room.
Mom and Dad were chatting with Chen ngyun, all very happy to see Lu Chengwen back.
Mom said, "Chengwen, look who's here!"
Chen ngyun quickly stood up, her cheeks slightly red. "Chengwen, brother."
"Ah." Lu Chengwen replied absentmindedly, continuing towards the stairs.
"Hey!" Mom ca over and pulled him. "ngyun has been waiting for you for half an hour. Can't you have a chat with her?"
Lu Chengwen said weakly, "Mom, I'm tired."
Mom glared at him. "What's wrong with you, tired as soon as you co back? ngyun ca here specifically to wait for you. Have you no manners?"
Lu Chengwen turned to look at Chen ngyun.
Chen ngyun suddenly felt a bit shy, forcing a polite smile. "Brother Chengwen, I just... ca to thank you specially."
Lu Chengwen nodded. "Okay, I got it. You can go back now."
Chen
ngyun didn't expect this.
She ca to your house on her own initiative to hang out with you, just like in high school or college, being so proactive and enthusiastic, not afraid of being laughed at by the people in the Lu family.
But you, Lu Chengwen, are so indifferent, not taking her seriously at all.
Chen ngyun felt embarrassed and awkward. "Then, Uncle, Auntie, please sit down. I'll go back first."
"Hey, don't go!" Mom pulled Lu Chengwen over, angrily saying, "She's been waiting here for you for half an hour, and you're acting like this?"
Turning around, he said, "ngyun, you go upstairs and chat with Cheng Wen. You young people can talk by yourselves. Uncle Lu and I have arranged to play cards with soone, so we'll leave first."
Chen ngyun also lacked backbone, unexpectedly wanting to stay.
"Is that... appropriate?"
"Of course, of course. Oh, you haven't visited our house in years. Auntie is happy to see you. You guys chat, we're heading out."
The elders of the Lu family left.
Lu Chengwen turned to take the elevator, and Chen ngyun hurriedly followed.
Standing in the elevator, Chen ngyun seed a bit nervous. "Brother Chengwen, thank you for that day."
Lu Chengwen forced a bitter smile. These lines were supposed to be said to Long Aotian, but now they're being said to .
"Aren't you supposed to be busy lately? Why bother coming to my house for such a trivial matter? You could've just sent a ssage."
Chen ngyun felt very wronged.
Don't I know how to send ssages? Why did I co to your house? Of course, I wanted to see you!
Chen ngyun said, "About what happened back then..."
Lu Chengwen quickly interrupted, "Let's not talk about the past. Back then, you were quite ruthless, causing a great blow to my young heart. But it was my fault first, so I don't bla you. Anyway, let's not ntion the past. I don't care anymore, and you shouldn't either."
Chen ngyun had a thousand words to say, but Lu Chengwen didn't give her a chance to speak, continuously chattering away.
In a conversation between a man and a woman, if it doesn't exceed three sentences, both parties understand each other's thoughts.
Chen ngyun didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be so indifferent. She felt both humiliated and sad.
I took the initiative to co to you, planning to get closer to your family and reminisce about your past feelings.
Is this the attitude you're going to show ?
I must have misjudged Lu Chengwen.
"Well... since you seem tired, Brother Chengwen, I'll go back first."
This was Chen ngyun's final attempt.
If Lu Chengwen tried to keep her, there might still be hope.
Chen ngyun hoped, looking into Lu Chengwen's eyes.
But Lu Chengwen didn't even glance at her. "Fine, I'll have Zhao Gang take you."
Chen ngyun was thoroughly angry.
In an instant, she beca cold. "No need, I can walk by myself."
Lu Chengwen didn't even acknowledge her as Chen ngyun took the elevator down alone.
Chen ngyun felt pathetic.
Truly pathetic!
Why did I co to him?
He saved once, and I thought our old feelings were rekindled? That we could go back to how things were before?
I rember so many innocent days from our childhood, but he's completely forgotten! He doesn't care anymore!
With slightly reddened eyes, Chen ngyun walked towards the parking area of the Lu family villa.
Just as she was about to get into her car, Lu Chengwen rushed down from upstairs as if his butt was on fire, holding a coat and shouting, "Zhao Gang! Prepare the car!"
Zhao Gang had just driven Chen ngyun's car over and parked it. He looked puzzled at his boss, "Mr. Lu, what's going on?"
Lu Chengwen rushed over and snatched the car keys, "Whose car is this?"
Zhao Gang, never seeing Lu Chengwen so urgent, pointed to Chen ngyun, "Miss Chen's."
Lu Chengwen said, "Get in the car."
Chen ngyun was still angry, "What are you doing?"
Lu Chengwen had already sat in and started the engine, "Get in the car!"
Chen ngyun stood there hugging herself, "This is my car, Lu Chengwen, what are you doing?"
Zhao Gang knew better. As a qualified lackey, when the boss is like this, you shouldn't waste ti with words; just execute quickly.
Chen ngyun was still throwing a tantrum on the ground, but Zhao Gang had already fastened his seatbelt.
Lu Chengwen roared, "Damn it! Get in the car! Hurry up!"
Chen ngyun was startled and halted by Lu Chengwen's shout.
"I...I'm getting in. Why are you so fierce?"
Chen ngyun hadn't even settled in properly when Lu Chengwen's car had already sped out.
Zhao Gang was on point, using the walkie-talkie to shout, "Open the gate! Mr. Lu's car is leaving!"
The gate was already open when the car arrived.
Chen ngyun's face turned pale with fear, "Lu Chengwen, have you gone mad!?"
