Rumors

The next morning, Hua Ruo Lan got up and got dressed for work. Lu Qian wasn't in the room when she woke up because he had an urgent meeting to attend.

Hua Ruo Lan walked into the conglomerate looking as beautiful as usual.

"Hey who is that?" a boy asked as he watched as Hua Ruo Lan some people as she walked by.

"That's Hua Ruo Lan....she's beautiful isn't she?"

"I don't believe such a beauty exists"

"Yes but don't get your hopes up...I heard she's married and has a kid"

"What?!!....that's impossible.... but she looks so pure and untouched and her body is just perfect.... you must be lying." Just like that, Hua Ruo Lan popularity spread little by little.

Meanwhile Hua Er Bao was thinking of ways to fall for her. She needed to make a place for herself in Lu Qian's heart.

Hua Er Bao's eyes lit up when. an idea popped into her head. It had been long since she had seen him.

Lu Qian was just coming out of the conference room when he saw Hua Er Bao waiting for him.

"Er Bao?...why are you here?" he asked as he looked at her.

"Lu Qian...I wanted to know if you will be busy later" Hua Er Bao said as she bowed her head trying hard not to catch his gaze.

"Yes...I think so...why?" Lu Qian asked.

"Nothing.... it's just that it's been long since we hung out together...so..I" Hua Er Bao didn't finish speaking when Lu Qian agreed to go with her.

After Hua Ruo Lan left the Emerald Mansion, Hua Er Bao was always around Lu Qian keeping him company. Sometimes they'd go out together so it was natural that Lu Qian took her as a friend.

Later that day, Hua Er Bal quickly went home to change. She applied some makeup which made her appear more beautiful than her normal self. She texted Lu Qian the location and left.

Few minutes later, Lu Qian arrived at the restaurant. He was specially welcomed by the attendants.

"Good Lord isn't that CEO Lu?"

"Ah...it's him"

"I must say he looks more dashing in person". The other people at the restaurant couldn't help but notice Lu Qian's presence. He walked towards Hua Er Bao who was already seated.

"Have you been waiting long?" Lu Qian asked as he sat.

"No I just got here" she answered smiling.

After they placed their orders, the server brought it to them.

"The food here is really good isn't?" Hua Er Bao said as she took a bite if the steak she ordered.

"Hmmm" Lu Qian answered.

"Uh....Lu Jin's birthday is coming up...are you going to throw a party or...." Hua Er asked as she looked at him.

"Yes" Lu Qian answered. He gazed at the food before him.

"Oh....look how beautiful they look together"

"Hua Er Bao is really lucky to have a husband like CEO Lu"

"Husband?....who says he is her husband?....have you all forgotten that the Hua family has two girls?"

"Yes....we all know that Hua Er Bao isn't the only daughter in the Hua family"

"Then where is the other daughter. We haven't seen her or heard anything about her"

"Do you think she's dead?"

"I don't think so....if she was dead then we would surely have heard about it long ago"

"Maybe she's afflicted with a very bad disease and the Hua family is keeping it away from the public"

"We should stop making up stories"

Hua Er Bao was feeling ecstatic because people were talking about her and Lu Qian but little did she know that the topic had shifted from her to her cousin Hua Ruo Lan.
