My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 602 - 011: Accidental Encounter

Yun Xi and Mu Lezhu heard the sound and simultaneously looked up towards the door, spotting two figures appearing in their view—one in a dark striped suit, the other in a grey coat, looking quite casual and carefree.

"President Mu, Director Yun."

As they were momentarily stunned, several employees passing by nodded and greeted them.

Lu Xize and Lu Jingang, who were initially engaged in conversation, turned to look as well, meeting their gaze directly.

Since that unexpected encounter at the bar, about fourteen or fifteen days had passed. Yun Xi was momentarily taken aback, never expecting to meet Lu Xize here. After all, she had been here several times but had never seen him.

Though he held shares in the Lu Group, he basically didn’t manage Lu Group affairs and hardly came to the company. But, on a rare visit, he unexpectedly ran into Yun Xi.

"President Lu." Yun Xi did not lose her composure, regaining her usual poised and gracious demeanor, and greeted Lu Jingang with a smile.

Lu Jingang’s gaze shifted from Mu Lezhu to Yun Xi, nodding slightly in response but not inquiring further. It was Mu Lezhu who always handled the cooperation with the Yun Group, so he didn’t need to ask much, as long as he saw the final results.

"Lezhu, just drop me off here, okay? You have a dinner engagement later, don’t bother with me. I’ve been here so many times, do you think I can’t find my way?" Yun Xi, knowing Lu Jingang’s character, didn’t mind and turned to Mu Lezhu with a gentle smile.

Mu Lezhu withdrew her gaze as well and nodded: "Alright, thanks for your hard work this afternoon. Let’s have a meal or afternoon tea together next time when we’re free."

"Sure, it’s a deal." Yun Xi nodded happily in response: "Then I’ll head off first. If anything comes up, contact me via phone or WeChat."

"Okay, take care."

Yun Xi and Mu Lezhu waved at each other. She then gestured to Lu Jingang: "President Lu, I’ll be leaving now."

"Alright, take care." Lu Jingang responded blandly, stepping aside with a nod.

Yun Xi smiled at him and, without saying much more, walked straight towards the automatic double doors, never once glancing at Lu Xize or saying a word to him.

Lu Xize, treated this way, was naturally baffled and felt a bit unsettled. Was this girl deliberately ignoring him?

It had only been a little over half a month since they last met. How had he provoked this lady?

"Brother, I’d rather not go up. I don’t understand the company’s issues, you handle it. I’m not holding any position in the company, and the board members are all tricky foxes. You’ll definitely have a way to deal with them." Seeing Yun Xi had exited the door, Lu Xize glanced outside while patting Lu Jingang’s shoulder and hurriedly said, waving his hand before he even waited for Lu Jingang to respond, then he quickly ran out.

Lu Jingang watched his retreating figure, lips pressing into a line and rubbed his forehead. Meanwhile, as he withdrew his gaze, he inadvertently caught Mu Lezhu’s eyes but she immediately looked away with indifference and headed to the elevator, having no intention of interacting with him.

After rushing out, Lu Xize glanced around and spotted Yun Xi by the roadside hailing a cab. A taxi approached and seemed ready to stop. Without thinking twice, Lu Xize sprinted over.

As he ran over, the car had already stopped in front of Yun Xi, and she opened the door. Just as Yun Xi was about to get in, Lu Xize suddenly darted forward, pressing the car door shut.

The abrupt force startled Yun Xi, and only after seeing clearly that it was him did she furrow her brows in displeasure: "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

"Relax, this little scare won’t kill you." Lu Xize chuckled, raising his brows joyfully before leaning in to speak to the driver: "Sorry, sir, she’s not taking the ride. Sorry for the trouble and my apologies." After finishing, he swiftly shut the car door for her.

The driver, being quite understanding, glanced at the two of them and presumed they were a quarreling couple, so he didn’t mind. Once the door closed, he drove off.

"Hey... wait, driver... driver..." Yun Xi tried to rush after the car as it started moving.

But seeing this, Lu Xize grabbed her wrist, refusing to let her leave. Eventually, Yun Xi could only watch as the taxi disappeared from her sight.

Exasperated, Yun Xi looked up with a sigh, channeling her frustration towards Lu Xize beside her. She flung his hand away and glared at him: "What are you doing? Are you nuts? I finally managed to hail a cab."

"Finally? How hard was it? I just saw you raise your hand and it stopped."

"You..." Lost for words against his mockery, Yun Xi quickly regained herself and argued back: "What do you know? It’s rush hour now, catching a cab is purely my good luck. I won’t stoop to your level, so back off, or I’ll... "

"Oh, oh, oh! What will you do? Break my leg or kill me?" Lu Xize interrupted with a cocky grin, watching her with an amused expression.

Frustrated, Yun Xi glared, unable to vent her anger. She swung her laptop bag onto her wrist, leapt slightly, grabbed his collar, forcing him to bend down, and grabbed his hair: "I can’t break your leg or kill you, but I can make you go bald, giving you a receding hairline while still young."

"Ah... ouch, ouch, Yun Xi, you mischievous girl, let go, come on, we’re in public, with so many people watching! Don’t act like a shrew, please, don’t embarrass me!"

"Embarrass you? You’ve lost your face already, what do you need dignity for? Did you just call me a shrew? How dare you!" Yun Xi said as she continued pulling his hair, with no intention of letting go.

Due to his hair being pulled, Lu Xize, standing at 1.87 meters, could only bend halfway over, both hands gripping hers to lessen her pull.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I was wrong, my lady, I was wrong. I’ll stop teasing, I’m a shrew, I’m a shrew, alright? Please let go or you’ll really make me bald."

Seeing his sincere apology and swift attitude, Yun Xi finally released his hair, casting him a disdainful sidelong glance: "Now that you know your mistake, treat me to dinner tonight! I want hotpot." She was indeed wondering who to have dinner with while having someone to foot the bill.
