C15 Mental Knowledge

Noticing the nervousness on Bai Lu's face, Xiang Longjin finally managed to follow her gaze and turn his head. At the same time, he also saw Liang Feifan, who was standing there, and his heart sank.

For a time, the office that seemed to be filled with smoke fell into a deathly silence. The two of them stood on the spot awkwardly, at a loss of what to do. When the sound of steady footsteps got closer, Bai Lu's heart rose to her throat …

"Secretary Bai, where's my coffee?"

Coffee?

Bai Lu didn't expect Liang Feifan to start off with coffee.

All of this happened too fast. She was unable to react, and her mind was blank for a moment. Finally, she came back to her senses and instinctively said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. I'll send it to you right away."

Liang Feifan's gaze was deep. His gaze swept across Xiang Longjin and Bai Lu, but didn't stop there for even a moment. He leisurely inserted both of his hands … In the pocket of her pants, there was no additional expression on her elegant and imposing face. However, when she spoke again, Bai Lu's heart, which hadn't been there for a while, was lifted to her throat.

"It's time to go back to work. You've always been emphasizing to me just how capable people are. To actually be able to handle their own personal affairs during work hours, don't you think you've been kicked in the foot?"

Liang Feifan didn't even give them time to explain before he turned around and walked into his office after leaving behind such a warning that was neither light nor heavy.

Bai Lu stood on the spot with a splitting headache. She was so upset that her intestines were turning green!

Xiang Longjin also felt a bit guilty that things had turned out like this, "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your work."

Bai Lu pressed her throbbing temples with her hand. Her voice was filled with boundless exhaustion as she said, "You can go."

She didn't want to say anything more. It was such a ridiculous day. At this moment, her mood had already reached its limit. She was really worried that she would completely collapse if she put more pressure on herself.

Seeing her expression, Xiang Longjin remembered what Liang Feifan said just now and felt a little afraid. Moreover, he did not intend to give Bai Lu any trouble, "Then I will leave first. I know you got a promotion today. I'm very happy for you. You have to work hard."

Bai Lu didn't even look at him. She just organized the folder beside her. Xiang Longjin felt bored and left her office after a short while.

The transparent glass allowed her to see Xiang Longjin disappearing in the corner diagonally across from her. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to show the slightest bit of negligence, and she quickly found Guan Chao's contact details. Due to the time being urgent, she hung up after asking Guan Chao about Liang Feifan's taste in coffee.

Wu told her that Liang Feifan only drinks the most concentrated black coffee and doesn't need to add sugar, but he must grind it on the spot. Because there was basically no one in the former CEO's office, there was no freshly grinded coffee in the teahouse. Bai Lu remembered that there was a coffee shop across the street from the company, so she went downstairs to buy it.

She wasted a lot of time as she came and went. When she brought the coffee to Liang Feifan's office, it was already 15 minutes later.

"Mr. Liang, here's your coffee."

Bai Lu carefully placed the coffee by his side. Seeing that he was staring at the document without any reaction, she bit her lips and could only feel unhappiness from the words in her throat. In the end, she couldn't help but say, "…" Mr. Liang, I'm really sorry about what happened just now … I didn't mean to … "Mhmm, actually, I want to say that my relationship with Xiang Longjin is no longer the same."

"I'm not interested in knowing what your relationship is." The expensive pen in his hand paused on the paper for a moment, then it left a deep mark on the paper. Liang Feifan interrupted her without waiting for Bai Lu to finish, "But you have to remember your identity and location."

Bai Lu's face turned pale when she heard his heartless words. She knew that she was at the wrong and there was no point in trying to explain.

That was true. Explaining meant concealing, and disguising meant the beginning of all mistakes. Forget it! Since she was caught red-handed, she also knew that Liang Feifan's impression of her wouldn't be any better. In fact, she wanted to explain to him that she didn't want him to misunderstand anything. Because of Liang Jingxiao's relationship, she really didn't want anything bad to happen anymore.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. I know it was my fault just now, but I will be careful in the future. I'll be going out first." She gave a slight nod to the man who hadn't even looked up at her, then left the office.

When the heavy oak door closed, the man who was originally buried in a pile of documents suddenly raised his head.

A complex light flashed in the depths of her pair of deep and enchanting eyes.

Xiang Longjin, Bai Lu...

He had indeed heard the contents of their conversation. Even a fool would know that the two of them had a deep relationship, but what about Jingxiao?

Bai Lu —

The pen in Liang Feifan's hand landed on the table with a "pa" sound. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, causing himself to sink completely into a leather chair. His sexy lips pursed slightly as he chanted the name twice in his heart.
