My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 669 - 032: I am willing
Watching them exchange pleasantries, one delivering a serious yet kindly reprimand, the other pretending to listen respectfully, Mu Lezhu stood by and found the scene particularly bizarre, yet somewhat harmonious.
After all, Lu Jingang wasn’t respectful to just anyone; he usually acted bullish towards others. The only people he’d show such respect to were Chairman Lu and Mrs. Lu, hardly anyone else.
The elderly gentleman then inquired about some work matters. Even though he was getting older and a bit forgetful, as long as Lu Jingang articulated the key points, the old man understood clearly, and he specifically advised him to watch out for the two old foxes in the company, known for their transparent ambitions.
Lu Jingang was also aware that the Mu Group was currently dealing with internal and external troubles, and he had his own plans.
Although Mu Lezhu was unaware of his plans, every time she saw his calm and confident demeanor, she felt less anxious about the matter and had some degree of confidence.
Watching them chat, Mu Lezhu didn’t say anything throughout, silently listening. She knew she wasn’t as capable as Lu Jingang concerning work, and some things they discussed, she didn’t quite understand.
After chatting for a while, the old man felt fatigued and asked Lu Jingang to push him inside to rest. Mu Lezhu followed them in, listening to a few more instructions from the old man, then left the room with Lu Jingang as several caretakers went in to attend to him.
"What time is your appointment?" Lu Jingang suddenly asked casually as Mu Lezhu felt quite satisfied watching the caretakers skillfully attend to the old man. His tone was mild and less chilly than before, carrying a hint of warmth.
Mu Lezhu turned in surprise to look at him, momentarily not understanding his question: "What?"
"What time is your appointment with Qi Mingyao?" Lu Jingang repeated while raising an eyebrow.
It’s rare for him to repeat his words a second time.
Mu Lezhu snapped back to reality, raised her wrist to check the time: "The appointment is at 5:30, and it’s only 4:47 now."
"Where’s the meeting place?"
"At a western restaurant over on Puxi New Road."
"It takes about half an hour to get there from here." Lu Jingang squinted his eyes, helping her calculate the time.
"Hmm, roughly!" Mu Lezhu nodded, then realized: "Why are you calculating so precisely? What’s it got to do with you?"
"Going with you."
"What? You’re coming too?" Mu Lezhu widened her eyes in surprise, apprehensively looking at him: "Why are you coming?"
"To get acquainted with Mr. Qi."
"..."
Mu Lezhu was speechless, her mouth twitching slightly: "You haven’t had any interactions with him, why bother getting acquainted?"
"Because I want to."
"..."
Mu Lezhu was at a loss for words again, pursing her lips and muttering internally, "Fine, you’re arrogant, you’re cool, you’re capricious."
"Should I go ahead and say hi, and leave now?"
"Go."
Mu Lezhu looked at his self-assured demeanor, feeling utterly baffled, unsure if he was acting erratically or possessed by a spirit today, wanting to join her in meeting someone.
After bidding farewell to the old man, the two took the elevator out of the nursing home’s entrance and got into the car, with Lu Jingang immediately instructing the driver on their destination. Just then, his phone started ringing pleasantly.
