My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 673 - 036: You can’t expect ivory from a dog’s mouth
"How have you been lately?"
"Pretty good."
"And how’s everything at the company? That Hao guy isn’t deliberately causing trouble for you?"
Hearing this, Mu Lezhu laughed, "Speaking of which, I used to be quite stupid, trusting him so much. Whenever there was a problem at the company, I’d consult him, and in the end, I became a joke. Those problems were all his doing. But... fortunately, Lu Jingang..." As she spoke, Mu Lezhu’s words suddenly stopped, and the smile on her face froze.
She was actually quite grateful to Lu Jingang deep down. Ever since he took over as a partner of the Mu Group, he had been helping her solve many things. Although she didn’t want to admit it and somewhat resisted him, she couldn’t express that gratitude in words and felt a bit embarrassed to express it, especially in front of him. It was truly awkward for her to do so.
Being suddenly mentioned, Lu Jingang instinctively turned his head to look at her, momentarily stunned. When Mu Lezhu retracted her gaze in embarrassment, he immediately felt more confident, straightened his back, exuding an aura of pride and unmatched superiority, and his eyes became lively, even though he still pretended to be indifferent and kept a straight face.
"The Mu Group is not just the Mu Family Group now; it’s Lu Mu Group. There’s no need to show mercy to anyone who obstructs the group’s interests." Although his heart was somewhat stirred, even a bit excited, Lu Jingang stubbornly refused to show it and instead made an official statement in a particularly serious tone.
After hearing this, Mu Lezhu’s face instantly fell. She almost got emotional, but his words shattered that into pieces, and the frustration in her heart became even more blocked. She gloomily took a sip from her teacup, her fair hand gripping the teacup with fingertips slightly reddened.
Sure enough, a dog’s mouth can’t spit ivory; she was fuming.
Qi Mingyao couldn’t help but laugh, "President Lu’s abilities have never been in doubt. Lezhu lacks experience in managing the company and still needs plenty of support and guidance from President Lu."
"Mr. Qi, you jest. Now that the Lu Mu families are united, she’s also my fiancée; it’s all as it should be." At this moment, Lu Jingang didn’t realize Mu Lezhu was angry but continued to play the official tone with Qi Mingyao.
Afterwards, the two of them talked about more work-related matters. By the end of the meal, they inexplicably managed to secure a partnership, something Mu Lezhu found both speechless and bewildering.
Watching their mutual comradery, Mu Lezhu felt a bit out of place, almost wanting to give up her fiancée’s position to Qi Mingyao. The two of them seemed to be the perfect match, the real love story, right?
Why not let them marry each other!
This meal could be described as rather uneasy just seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, while Mu Lezhu occasionally chimed in.
After eating, they even agreed to discuss the cooperation in more detail later.
"Lezhu, I’ll be off now. Call me anytime if you need anything. Don’t forget to find time to have a meal or go shopping with your aunt."
"Okay, got it. Drive safe, cousin, and thanks for paying tonight!" Mu Lezhu smiled, nodding and waving at him.
"No worries at all, let’s catch up next time."
"Okay." Mu Lezhu watched him drive away.
"He’s gone now, what are you still looking at?" Lu Jingang remarked as he noticed her gaze hadn’t shifted away.
Mu Lezhu finally turned her attention to him, "You and my cousin had quite the chat! Even discussed business."
