Chapter 373: The stares

With how many people stare at Lu Chen and Ye Meixiu, he knows this isn't the best place to talk.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Lu Chen drags Ye Meixiu away, not wanting the stares to keep eyeing him down. As Lu Chen brings Ye Meixiu up to his office, the workers stare at him as well.

Murmurs erupted!

"Did you see the girl brought by the CEO?!"

"She's so beautiful. She may be a new agent the CEO has scouted."

"Or maybe she is the CEO's wife."

"Impossible! Isn't Zhang Jian and the CEO an item?"

"I always thought it was a three-way love between Gong Changmin, Zhang Jian, and the CEO."

"..." Lu Chen's face darkens while Ye Meixiu laughs at the comments.

"It seems the break has made all of you guys lax." If Lu Chen could, he would have taken back the break and given them over time.

The workers quickly shut up and went back to looking at their computers. They were looking down, trying not to look up at Lu Chen's dark face.

Lu Chen doesn't look at them anymore and brings Ye Meixiu into his office,

"Wow, your office is so big." Ye Meixiu looks around, amazed by how large the space is. She continues and jokes, "You look smugger now."

"How did you find out where I work?" Ignoring her joke, Lu Chen responds with a question instead. He has never told her about where he's working.

So how did she find out?

"I went to your house a while ago, and aunty told me that you would be here working." Zhang Wenling had spilled the beans on everything. Ye Meixiu can hear the proudness she has towards Lu Chen.

"So why did you come here?"

Ye Meixiu pouts, "Is it wrong for me to come here?"

"N-No."

Ye Meixiu laughs, "Don't worry about it, brother Chen. I'm not mad. But here." She brings up the bag she has in her hand,

"I've been practicing my cooking skills, and I want you to try it."

"...You didn't have to bring me anything." Lu Chen's face becomes uncomfortable. After the incident on the trip, Lu Chen didn't know how to respond to Ye Meixiu's feelings.

What made it worse was he doesn't know how to treat her now. He can't look at her as a sister. But neither as a love interest.

It felt so weird to him.

"Here, brother Chen. Ahh." Not knowing what was going through Lu Chen's mind, Ye Meixiu made her move. She picks up a piece of meat and brings it up to his mouth,

"You don't have to-" Lu Chen moves away from her, not wanting to do something like that.

"Ahh~"

"Cmon-"

"Ahh~"

"..." Lu Chen doesn't know what to say. But looking at her resolute eyes, he knows he couldn't do anything else. It's a losing battle for him.

He takes the bite of food given to him. Ye Meixiu's face sparkles, and she tries to feed him another piece of food. However, Lu Chen was going to refuse this one,

"I'm not going to give up."

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to keep attacking you! I won't stop until I steal your heart!" Ye Meixiu spills everything out. She already knew something was up between Feng Meifeng and Lu Chen.

And with how much Lu Chen is changing, who knows how many girls are coming after him?

Looking at how reserved Lu Chen was, Ye Meixiu knows she can't be the one standing there waiting. She has to be the one attacking.

"..."

"You can keep looking at me like a sister for now. But I'm going to make you change your mind about me. I swear upon my name!"

Lu Chen continues to be speechless. Ye Meixiu's actions keep surprising him. It's like she wants to one-up the other one.

He sighs, "I don't know what's going to come out of this later on, though. You shouldn't waste your time on me." Lu Chen doesn't know whether or not he would love Ye Meixiu in the future. He would rather have her not waste her time on him.

"It's my decision whether or not to waste my own time." Ye Meixiu's face brightens up as she brings herself closer to Lu Chen's body.

"I know I can charm you and make you mine." She hugs Lu Chen's arm tightly, not wanting to let him go again.
