With that, Elena turned around and left the shop.
Mila dropped her clothes and quickly ran out too.
Lu Chenjun smiled as he saw Elena walk away with the box of chocolates. At least the misunderstanding was cleared up and she didn't hate him anymore.
Lu Chenjun looked at the flowers he was holding and gave them to the worker in the shop. He turned around and walked out of the shop.

Elena and Mila returned home after a long day, and they both practically ran over to the couch.
Elena turned towards Mila and said, "Why don't we just stay here? This apartment is not bad."
Mila immediately shook his head, "No. Our new apartment faces the sun and all of the decorations and furniture are new. Why would you stay here when you have such a great apartment available?"
Elena nodded and closed her eyes, ready to take a short five-minute nap.
Suddenly, she felt her phone vibrating inside her bag and she took it out without looking at who the caller was.
"Hello."
"Did you miss me? I missed you."
Elena's eyes shot open and she brought her phone down to look at the number on the screen. The number was unfamiliar and it definitely did not belong to Lu Chenjun. But Elena was sure she had blocked him. . .
"Who's phone are you using?" Elena asked.
"This is a new phone."
Elena's mouth fell open and she knit her eyebrows together, "Did you buy another phone just to call me?"
"Mhm," Lu Chenjun said with a triumphant smile. He had reached his goal.
"Are you stupid? You know I can just block this number too, right?"
Lu Chenjun's smile grew bigger, "Of course, I know. So, as a solution, I bought 20 more phones. You can block me as many times as your heart desires."
Elena raised one eyebrow and gulped. This man really had a problem.
"Why did you call me?"
Lu Chenjun's happy voice turned pitiful as he complained, "You misunderstood me for two years."
Elena almost screamed on the spot, "Are you blaming it on me now?"
Lu Chenjun immediately shook his head, "No! No! Well, since the misunderstanding is cleared up, how about we go out and eat together to celebrate."
"No," Elena said before hanging up. She powered off her phone and threw it aside before closing her eyes and beginning to nap again.
Lu Chenjun stared at his phone in surprise and frowned. He called again, but nobody picked up.
He stood up and picked up another new phone. Still, nobody picked up.
Finally, Lu Chenjun used his normal phone and called Fang Shi.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Come over to my house now!" Lu Chenjun hung up the phone and angrily stood up from his desk.
In less than 15 minutes, Fang Shi appeared.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. Why did you call me over?"
"Come into my office with me," Lu Chenjun marched up the stairs and into his office quickly.
After Fang Shi had walked inside, Lu Chenjun closed the door and locked it, making sure no one could get in.
Fang Shi stared nervously at the door and subconsciously took a few steps backward. Why was Mr. Lu locking the door?
Lu Chenjun eyed Fang Shi up and down, causing Fang Shi to feel extremely uncomfortable in the situation.
"Boss, why did you call me over?"
Lu Chenjun cleared his throat and awkwardly looked away, "Fang Shi, didn't you say you are a master at wooing women?"
Fang Shi seemed to have guessed what Lu Chenjun was up to, and he suppressed a laugh as he nodded.
'Didn't Mr. Lu say he doesn't need my help?'
"Well, I need your help." Lu Chenjun said, slightly embarrassed.
Fang Shi courageously took a few steps forward and patted himself on the chest, "Of course. Are you having trouble getting Miss Jin Yinghui to like you? I can help, I'm amazing at this."
Lu Chenjun narrowed his eyes at Fang Shi and said, "Okay. I will add 1000 yuan to your bonus this month if you can get Yinghui to go out and eat with me tomorrow."
Fang Shi's eyes widened, "Tomorrow?"
"I will let you off work early tomorrow if you can get it done."
A smile appeared on Fang Shi's face and he made an 'okay' sign with his left hand, "Leave it to me."

The next day, Elena and Mila stayed home the entire time. Mila binge-watched several different shows and dramas, whereas Elena spent her time studying the script.
A movie was much harder to act than a drama. Since the length of the film was shorter, each scene had to be perfect.
Elena left her room and walked over to the refrigerator to look for a snack.
Her phone started ringing and she reluctantly closed the refrigerator and returned to her room.
The number calling wasn't saved to her contacts, so she assumed it was from Lu Chenjun. She immediately declined the call and placed her phone onto the bed.
A second later, the same number called again. Elena angrily declined the call and threw her phone back onto the bed.
Before she could even step out of her room, another call came through.
Her phone rang annoyingly in her ear, and Elena picked the call up.
"Stop calling me, Lu Chenjun!"
Fang Shi held his phone further away at the loud sound and he suspiciously glanced at Lu Chenjun from out of the corner of his eye.
"Um, Miss Jin Yinghui, I'm Fang Shi."
Elena's anger quickly dissipated, and it was replaced with embarrassment.
"Oh, Fang Shi. Hello, why are you calling?"
Fang Shi cleared his throat and immediately got into the act. He wiped away fake tears and put on a distressed expression even though Elena couldn't see it.
"Please help me, Miss Jin Yinghui. No! Please help us!"
"What's wrong," Elena asked, surprised at the sudden change in Fang Shi's voice.
"You should know, Mr. Lu only cares about you. He has been in the meeting room for seven hours already. He doesn't matter, but what about me and the other workers? We haven't eaten anything in the past seven hours, and we can't do anything about it! Please help us."
Elena thought about not being able to eat anything for seven hours straight, and she immediately pitied Fang Shi and Lu Chenjun's workers.
"How can I help you?"
"I don't know, we have to find a way to get Lu Chenjun to leave. That way, the workers would be able to leave too."
Elena scrunched her face up as she immediately thought of a plan. But she didn't want to see him. . .
Elena clenched her teeth together and her eyes filled with determination. For the sake of the innocent people. . .
"I have an idea, Fang Shi."
Fang Shi's eyes immediately lit up and he silently prayed that Jin Yinghui had received the message.
"How about I invite him to dinner?"
