My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 672 - 035: Not a Good Feeling

Mu Lezhu shook her head, smiled at him, and glanced at his large hand holding her arm. Her eyes softened with a hint of gentleness: "It’s nothing. How long do you plan to hold on? Isn’t it bad to block someone’s way at the door?"

Lu Jingang lowered his gaze and realized he had been holding her wrist all along. He paused for a moment before gently releasing her hand, then reverted to his usual cold and aloof demeanor.

Mu Lezhu looked at his serious expression and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, turning to walk inside. After a server approached, she mentioned Qi Mingyao’s name, and the server understood and led them to a seat at the far end of the restaurant.

As they walked over one after the other, Qi Mingyao was already sitting there sipping tea. Upon seeing her, he put down his teacup and waved to her: "Lezhu..." But when Lu Jingang walked up behind her, Qi Mingyao’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes widened in shock and surprise.

Although he hadn’t had much contact with Lu Jingang and wasn’t familiar with him, Lu Jingang was quite a celebrity in Nancheng, appearing in numerous magazines and reports. Especially with the recent merger between Lu Mu’s two companies, he had appeared frequently, making it hard not to recognize him!

"Why did you come so early? I was just worried I was late!" Mu Lezhu checked the time, smiled, and walked over, playfully glaring at Qi Mingyao.

"I just happened to be coming from the tower, so I sat and waited for you." Qi Mingyao replied with a smile. After speaking, his gaze naturally fell on Lu Jingang behind her: "If I’m not mistaken, this should be President Lu, right?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Mr. Qi, I’ve long admired your reputation." Lu Jingang bypassed Mu Lezhu, looked directly at Qi Mingyao, and proactively extended his hand.

Qi Mingyao smiled, also extended his hand to shake briefly: "President Lu, you’re too kind. Your engagement with Lezhu has been quite some time, yet we haven’t met. I should have attended your engagement party, but unfortunately, I was abroad for some work during that time and couldn’t return."

"Mr. Qi, you’re too courteous."

"Please, have a seat! Lezhu, you sit too." Qi Mingyao politely gestured towards the seats.

Mu Lezhu nodded with a smile and instinctively looked at Lu Jingang, seeing him unabashedly sit across from Qi Mingyao. She then took a seat beside him.

After the three of them sat down, Qi Mingyao raised his hand to call the server, letting them know they could start serving the dishes.

"Lezhu, I’ve had everything you asked me to investigate compiled. Take a look, and let me know if there’s anything missing." Once the server left, Qi Mingyao took out a file from the side and handed it to Mu Lezhu, smiling.

Mu Lezhu quickly took it, untied it, and pulled out the papers to glance at them, expressing her gratitude: "Thank you, Cousin. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be worrying, not knowing what to do!"

"No worries, it was a minor task. There’s no need to be so formal with me! My mom was asking me a few days ago when I’d be free to come over for dinner, chat, and maybe shop a bit, but she’s concerned about interrupting you."

"It’s been over two months since I’ve seen Auntie. I’ll find some time to visit her soon."

"She’ll definitely be happy when she hears that." Qi Mingyao nodded and asked: "Did you visit grandfather today? How is he?"

"He’s doing well, much better than before."

"That’s good to hear."

Lu Jingang was sipping tea nearby, listening to their conversation. His heart felt a bit uneasy, and he glanced at the file before casually retracting his gaze.
