God of Racing-Chapter 394 - 387: Banquet

Lu Jinxuan propped his chin up and watched her, as steam rose from the sizzling frying pan. She flipped the fish on both sides, and he couldn't stop his mind from wandering... Once he had her under his control, he would have to 'fry' her on one side just like the fish, then 'fry' the other side!

"Alright, let's eat!"

Yu Sangwan's face was expressionless as she pushed the bowl of noodles in front of Lu Jinxuan. His bowl contained two yellow croakers and two eggs, while hers only had vegetables and noodles.

Lu Jinxuan curled his lips in a smile, this girl says one thing but means another... Even like this, she still doesn't want to be with him!

He took off his jacket and casually draped it over the back of the chair. In the pocket... there was a solid aroma diffuser that Tang Yueze had prepared for him. The scent was faint, but it served the same purpose. It was useless to him, but definitely worked for Yu Sangwan.

The whole meal left Yu Sangwan on edge.

She kept feeling that Lu Jinxuan was bound to do something next.

"I'm leaving now."

Lu Jinxuan stood at the doorway, looking at her with deep affection, reluctant to part.

With a loud 'bang', Yu Sangwan closed the door directly.

It was late. Lu Jinxuan stood on the balcony and watched as the light next door was turned off, while his eyes remained wide open, with no trace of sleep. That girl, she must have gone to bed, right?

Lu Jinxuan got the cold shoulder but laughed, "Little girl..."

From his pocket, he pulled out the keys, shook his head, and chuckled softly, "Really foolish, has she forgotten... I'm the landlord? How could a landlord not have a spare key to the apartment?"

Yu Sangwan nestled into bed, already sleeping soundly.

Lu Jinxuan kicked off his shoes and went up, finally hugging her, feeling quite content. However... this bed was a bit too small! For now, he would have to make do...

The next day, Yu Sangwan woke up a little late.

"Strange, why does my sleep feel so good?"

Yu Sangwan hurriedly got herself ready and rushed out.

Today, she had arranged to meet with people from Donghua, lots of details she couldn't finalize on her own.

The meeting place was at @Ta FUN, a business clubhouse where many people arranged business discussions.

"Miss, hello... Do you have a reservation?"

Yu Sangwan nodded to the front desk, "Yes, Donghua Business."

"Alright, please follow me..."

When led into a private room, Yu Sangwan almost thought she was watching a drama... Is this a 'previously on'? Otherwise, why did it look exactly like a scene from 'Bright Moon Bay' back then?

Lu Jinxuan sat there, what did that mean?

"You..."

Yu Sangwan waited until the attendant left before she burst out.

"Are you trying to pull the same trick again?"

Lu Jinxuan extended his hand towards her, "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Jiang Shuo, the one who emailed you yesterday."

"..." Yu Sangwan opened and closed her mouth, pondering what to say, "Jiang Shuo? Which Jiang Shuo? Lu Jinxuan, what exactly are you up to?"

"I'm not playing games."

Lu Jinxuan raised his gaze, stood up, with his long arms stretched on the table, his body slightly leaning forward, practically enclosing Yu Sangwan in his embrace, "I know you still have feelings for me! You said before, only when the passion is gone does the affection die! If I give up now, wouldn't that be foolish?"

"You..."

Yu Sangwan's face flushed, faltering.

"You! Ha... What gives you the right to say, say I... still like you!"

"Don't like me?" Lu Jinxuan curled his lips in confidence, "If you don't like me, then why cook noodles for me, why put two fish and two eggs in for me?"

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan was so shocked she couldn't speak, she gulped, "I was... afraid of getting fat!"

"Hmm!" Lu Jinxuan snorted with a cold smile, "Really? Then at Original House, who was the girl fearing gaining weight, eating 12 crab roe buns, a bowl of oatmeal, plus a serving of foie gras, a serving of..."

"Stop it!"

Yu Sangwan blushed furiously, "That was because... because..."

"You like me!" Lu Jinxuan decisively interrupted her, "I'm sure, you definitely like me."

Yu Sangwan closed her eyes in frustration, retorting defiantly, "Narcissist!"

Lu Jinxuan chuckled quietly, "Say what you want, as long as I achieve my goal..."

Yu Sangwan cast him a sidelong glance, "What's your goal?"

"Let's start working!" Lu Jinxuan opened his laptop, "We'll be working together for a while, I'm the representative from Donghua... Jiang Shuo."

Yu Sangwan had nothing to say, it was clear this was a scheme by Lu Jinxuan... She couldn't back out now. She clenched her teeth, "Fine... Let's discuss business."

"Here's the situation..." Yu Sangwan opened the folder and began to explain to Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan wasn't listening to her at all; he came to see her, and as for the anniversary celebration, he was just letting her play around!

"Are you even listening?" Yu Sangwan felt her face heat up under his intense gaze, turning red all over.

Lu Jinxuan nodded, took a box out of his bag and handed it to her, "This is for you, it was meant to be given last night... I forgot."

The box was nicely wrapped, about the size of an A4 paper, but not heavy in her hand.

Yu Sangwan was curious, "What is it?"

She started to unwrap it.

Lu Jinxuan raised his hand to stop her, "Check it out at home."

"What is it? So mysterious?" Yu Sangwan muttered, packing up her folder, "Let's visit the venue in a couple of days; I'll contact you then..."

Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, "Okay."

Yu Sangwan turned her gaze away, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and left first.

In the private room, Lu Jinxuan's computer popped up a dialog box. He gently moved the mouse and clicked open... It was an email.

"Son, the design for your engagement suit has been attached, take a look... Would you like to make any changes?"

Lu Jinxuan frowned and dragged the mouse, directly deleting the email...

Back at the apartment, Yu Sangwan finally opened the box.

The moment she unraveled the wrapping paper, she saw the Dior branding.

Was this not...

With a thought in mind, Yu Sangwan wondered, could it be?

Her hands moved faster... She opened the wrapping to find it was indeed the Dior lip stain set she had her eye on before! All 24 shades!

"..."

Holding the box, Yu Sangwan sat back on the sofa, lost in thought. Alone in the apartment, it was so quiet she could hear her heartbeat... What he said that day, brought over directly from the factory... The whole set!

"Ah!"

Yu Sangwan buried her head in the pillow, feeling utterly frustrated.

"Lu Jinxuan, get out! Get out of my mind!"

At the height of her frustration, her phone rang.

This time, it was a call from Dr. MARK.

"Dr. MARK!" Yu Sangwan quickly sat up, "Hello."

Dr. MARK chuckled, "MISS Yu, sorry to interrupt you... but I'm about to leave, you mentioned sending the photos from the last interview to me."

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan realized, "Sorry, I forgot, I'll send them over right now."

"Is that convenient?"

"Yes, it's convenient... I'll be there shortly."

The last interview had been intercepted halfway by the team leader Lin Shupei, she had momentarily put it out of her mind, causing her follow-up for Dr. MARK to be inadequate. It was indeed a bit inconsiderate.

Dr. MARK was still staying in the villa near Donghua, Mu Qinglan's surgery had succeeded, and after passing the initial period, things stabilized, so he could leave.

When Yu Sangwan arrived, Dr. MARK was packing his luggage.

"Dr. MARK..." Yu Sangwan smiled as she knocked on the door and entered, "I'm so sorry, I forgot."

Dr. MARK shook his head with a smile, "No worries, it's a small matter. Here, point to the computer... use it!"

"Hehe," Yu Sangwan chuckled, nodding, and went over to plug in the external hard drive.

It was done quickly, and Dr. MARK was ready to leave.

"Dr. MARK, are you heading to the airport now?" Yu Sangwan stood up, politely asking.

Dr. MARK nodded, feeling rather nostalgic, "Although I was brought here by force this time, seeing Mr. Lu care so much for Miss Mu, even as a doctor used to seeing life and death, I couldn't help but be moved."

Hearing this, Yu Sangwan's heart skipped a bit, her smile grew a little less natural.

Unable to quell her curiosity, maybe even with a trace of another emotion, Yu Sangwan hesitated before asking, "Uh, Dr. MARK... Mr. Lu and Mu Qinglan have a good relationship?"

"Yes," Dr. MARK nodded, "I believe they do..."

He gestured outwards with his hand, "Miss Mu is now receiving psychological counseling; Mr. Lu accompanies her every time... He's quite the devoted lover."
