21 Doubt

At ten o'clock sharp, a group of people from Long Teng arrived at Yingxin Technology Company.

Lu Yao, who was sitting in the corner, slightly raised her head and saw the first person who entered, Shao Yunchen. His thin lips were tightly shut, and when matched with his indifferent expression, he gave people a feeling that he was unapproachable.

After Shao Yunchen shook hands with President Ji, he habitually made rounds around the meeting room. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of Lu Yao in the corner as he lowered his head and looked at the notebook on the table. The side of her face looked a little flat.

Shao Yunchen's gaze only stayed on her for a second, then pulled back the chair and sat down.

As the leader of the big investment companies, with just a few words, Shao Yunchen was able to make people understand his strong aura. Even the experienced President Ji was a little nervous when talking to him.

Not long after, the secretary entered, pushing a cart with coffee and pastries.

Seeing that the secretary was busy alone, Lu Yao got up and helped to deliver the coffee to the few people beside Long Teng.

When she brought the coffee over for Shao Yunchen, she subconsciously chose a cup of warm coffee that wasn't filled with sugar.

Although previously, Shao Yuchen only returns home once a week, he still needed to take care of his work occasionally. When Lu Yao found out that he liked drinking coffee, she secretly noted it down. He doesn't like too hot and he also didn't like adding sugar.

Today's actions were completely habitual.

Shao Yunchen was still talking to President Ji, but when Lu Yao placed the cup of coffee in front of him and saw that there was no saccharine on the saucer, and even the coffee was warm, his folded hands slightly tightened, but his talking speed didn't slow down in the slightest.

The meeting was not long and ended in almost forty minutes.

To be able to invest and cooperate with Long Teng, President Ji's happy expression was written all over his face. After the meeting ended, he personally brought Shao Yunchen down to the dining hall to eat, with the rest following behind.

Lu Yao's company did not consume much in this restaurant, so it would cost at least tens of thousands of RMB to pay fora lunch. As there were a lot of people, the restaurant had become a self-service restaurant.

"Manager Lu, You're eating!"

Lu Yao was picking the food she wanted to eat but seeing her colleagues coming over to greet her, she answered: "I'm just a bit hungry."

After chatting for a while, the colleague suddenly changed the topic and said in a gossipy tone: "Did you see Boss Shao from Long Teng? He's so young, he doesn't even look to be in his thirties, I didn't think he would be so rich."

"This Boss Shao doesn't look like a man who's easy to get along with. However, he's quite handsome and can match up to some celebrities. You said he wasn't married. There are probably several mistresses with money that likes him.

Her colleague was chatting as she looked towards President Ji, her eyes filled with anticipation. Seeing that, Lu Yao also looked over.

The man untied his tie and casually sat there talking to others, but it was as if all the attention had been focused on him.

Lu Yao suddenly smiled as if she understood something.

Look, the man is so outstanding, who knows how many girls miss him, some of them even want to be an anonymous lover, but she is so silly to want to move him, to expect the two of them would grow old together.

How ridiculous!

"That kind of man is smart and restrained. You won't get any benefit from him." Lu Yao lowered her head and continued eating.

Her colleague asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Lu Yao thought, she shared a bed with Shao Yunchen for three years, how could she not know what kind of person he was?

"Manager Lu, why are you not wearing your ring?" This colleague has sharp eyes. She saw that Lu Yao's ring finger was empty and there was on;y a light ring imprint on it. "Could it be that you and your husband got divorced?"

Lu Yao acknowledged.

When they were getting married, she had also considered inviting her colleagues to have a drink, but Yunchen told her not to. It was as if the fewer people knew about their marriage, the better, so she didn't tell the company who her husband was.

"Men these days like beautiful and perfect women." Her colleague said before she consoled Lu Yao again, "Manager Lu, you are so young and have no children. Don't worry, it will be very easy to find someone for the second spring."

Lu Yao could not help but glance at her stomach.

It was true that she was divorced, but she was left with a piece of him in her belly.

Just then, someone carried a plate and walked past Lu Yao's side. The thing on the plate seemed to be a seafood dish and a faint fishy smell wafted into Lu Yao's nose, causing her stomach to churn.

Lu Yao pushed her colleague away and quickly ran in the direction of the bathroom with her mouth covered.

Her colleague was confused by Lu Yao's nudging.

Shao Yunchen accidentally saw Lu Yao run towards the bathroom with her mouth covered, her face pale. When she ran, her skirt was tightly pressed against her body, and her stomach seemed to be a little round. His gaze gradually darkened.
