My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 667 - 030: Male or female?

A cup of coffee suddenly stretched out in front of her, making Mu Lezhu pause noticeably. It took her a few seconds to shift her gaze to look at him, meeting his deep brown, cold eyes. She snapped back to reality, glanced at the coffee he was handing over, her lips moved slightly, but before she could speak, she heard his impatient, indifferent voice echo in the room: "Hurry up and take it."

Hearing this, Mu Lezhu pursed her lips, reached out to take the coffee from his hand, and responded in a flat tone: "Thank you."

She must have been out of her mind just now, why did she have the illusion that he was actually gentle? In less than a minute, she was snapped back to reality.

This was definitely her own fault, she reflected.

Lu Jingang glanced at the old man on the bed and asked indifferently, "When will the old man wake up?"

"I don’t know, didn’t the nurse just say he hasn’t been asleep for long? He woke up at around six in the morning, so he’ll probably sleep a little longer." Mu Lezhu took a sip of coffee. Although she’s not too picky about food, she’s not very satisfied with this coffee’s taste. She usually prefers Americanos and Mochas, but this coffee’s creamy taste was a bit much for her.

"Are you going to stay here all afternoon?" Lu Jingang asked slightly turned away, neither warmly nor coldly.

"Yeah, I want to accompany the elder. Fortunately, I don’t have much work this afternoon, and I have a dinner appointment in the evening." Mu Lezhu responded softly, her gaze on the sleeping old man on the bed growing softer, even her lips curled into a faint smile.

"An appointment?" Lu Jingang’s eyebrows shot up in displeasure as he pressed for more, his tone raising significantly.

"Yeah."

"With whom?"

"A friend."

"A guy?"

"Yeah."

"Who?"

"You don’t know him."

"Name."

"Qi..." The pace of their questions and answers was just right, Mu Lezhu almost blurted it out, but luckily she caught herself in time. She stared at him in a daze, rightfully asking back, "Why are you asking so much? I said you don’t know him."

"How do you know I don’t know him if you don’t say it?"

Mu Lezhu was speechless, slightly surprised that such words came from his mouth. After all, to her ears, it sounded like a pointless argument, but his arrogance and pride remained unchanged. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After the shock, Mu Lezhu took a deep breath and chose to compromise: "Qi Mingyao."

"Qi Mingyao, the heir of Mingyuan Aviation Group Company?" Lu Jingang asked with a frown, instinctively questioning.

This startled Mu Lezhu, her eyes widening in surprise, pupils gradually expanding: "You actually know him."

Lu Jingang gave her an unnoticed eye-roll: "Do you think I’m that uninformed?"

"Uh... not really, I just thought you don’t usually pay attention to industries outside of ours. It is a bit beyond my expectations." Mu Lezhu smiled awkwardly, glanced at the old man, "Grandpa is sleeping, let’s talk outside and not wake him."

As she helped tuck in the old man’s blanket and picked up her coffee to head towards the room’s door, Lu Jingang had already turned towards the door: "I worked with Mingyuan Airline a few years ago, ran an ad campaign there, and met Qi Mingyao a few times." As he spoke, Lu Jingang tilted his head and looked at her, his hands stuffed into his pants pockets: "As far as I know, Mu Group hasn’t had much interaction with Mingyuan Airline, right?"
