C7 Valentine's Day Activities

"Snap, snap, Director Lu, your takeout is here." As her assistant, she brought it to him as soon as she received the takeout and placed it in front of him.

Lu Yichen nodded and looked at the time on the computer table. It was already noon.

He got up and hooked his coat around his wrist. The last time he hadn't brought his coat, he had been sitting there by himself waiting for her. Now that he had learned to be smart, he picked up his takeout and was about to open the door when he suddenly remembered something and turned to her and said:

"In the afternoon, I will go to find the person in charge of the espresso restaurant to discuss something with. If you guys have any urgent matters, you can just call me or go somewhere else to find me."

"OK, Director Lu."

Lu Yichen opened the door and went out.

Walking out of the office, the sun made people quail. Looking at the flowers and trees planted on both sides of the flower beds, it gave off an aura of death, even tiring.

As he stepped forward, a wave of hot air washed away the cold from his body. For a second or two, he felt his body go limp.

However, the further he went, the hotter he got. He was worried that the takeout in his hands would dry out for a while and he wouldn't be able to eat anymore.

He quickened his pace and strode towards the Borderline Restaurant.

Those who were familiar with the route came in from the second floor. The staff responsible for receiving guests on the second floor saw the takeout in his hands. They smiled and led the way for him without waiting for him to speak.

Ye Zichen brought him to an area that was currently not open for business, then said, "Sir, can you please do it for a bit, I'll immediately call Manager Su for you."

Lu Yichen put down the takeout and sat down to thank her.

He slowly took out the takeaway from the bag and placed it on the table one by one. He then opened the lid, and in that instant, the fragrance of a dish spread out around him.

The fragrance drifted into the distance, causing those sitting in the office with their heads lowered writing the report to gulp. One of their hands covered their stomach that was already growling in hunger, while the other gave them a headache just writing a short paragraph.

After some hesitation, he decided to wait until she was done with her work before going to eat.

Thinking of this, he started to look at the computer screen again, his fingers tapping on the keyboard.

At this moment, what she didn't know was that the walkie-talkie she was used to leaving on the side didn't open this time. Someone inside was making her so angry that she almost cried out. She didn't hear a response from her.

It was only after Wang Huan reminded her that she realized she might be working in the office at the moment, so the person who had a target gave up on calling her over the walkie-talkie.

The person who typed out those words was lured out by the lingering fragrance. She was not in the mood to continue working, so she pressed the button to store the work. She put on the high heels she took off under the table, got up and picked up her coat to leave.

Just as her hand was about to touch the doorknob, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Su Yue reflexively leaned back to avoid bumping into her.

"Sis Su, there's a handsome guy waiting for you in the Smokeless District. Hurry up and go." She smiled brightly at Su Yue.

Su Yue raised her eyebrows. Who would come looking for her at this point? And the other party was even a handsome guy?

Could it be Mu Dongjun? A line of question marks rose in his heart.

He was still walking towards the smoke-free area that she mentioned. He didn't know why, but his right eyelid kept twitching.

The person standing behind her, seeing her straight back as she walked, covered her mouth and snickered.

Don't ask her why she knew this person was looking for Su Yue. It was because the last time he came, the other colleague who was in charge of following them up the second floor took some photos when they weren't paying attention and privately posted them in the group.

However, they didn't dare to let Su Yue know about this. If she did, they wouldn't be able to easily and happily go to work right now.

When Su Yue arrived at the no-smoking area, she saw Lu Yichen sitting there waiting for her. She swallowed her saliva as she felt a little conflicted over whether to go over or not.

"Come, come and sit."

"Hur hur, how come Director Lu has the time to come today?"

Upon being noticed, he mustered his courage and walked over before sitting down to ask.

"Why can't I come find you if I'm fine? Or do you think there's only business between us? " Lu Yichen asked.

He then handed a pair of disposable chopsticks to her.

Su Yue pursed her lips. Listening to his mocking tone, a peculiar feeling arose in her heart. That feeling made her unable to explain herself clearly, making her inexplicably want to run away.

Her stomach made an untimely sound as she shifted her attention to the tasty dishes in front of her. She blushed as she looked at him. Other than guilt, there was only embarrassment in her heart.

"Manager Su, I just wanted to have a meal with you and chat with you. You don't have to be so wary of me." Lu Yichen pushed the chopsticks into her hand without any hesitation, then lowered his head and started to eat.

Su Yue sighed silently in her heart. If she were to continue being polite, wouldn't it seem that she was being unreasonable?

Without any hesitation, she tore open the wrapping of her chopsticks and slowly began to eat.

This meal was indeed like what he had said. They didn't talk about anything else, but mostly talked about the Valentine's Day event.

Su Yue, who was hiding something in her heart, appeared absent-minded. There were several times when she almost blurted out the words in her heart to him, but she was also worried that he wouldn't believe her.

Sighing, someone who had a plan in mind, he patiently listened to what the old man had to say without interrupting him.

He drummed his fingers on the table.

"That Director Lu, can I ask a little bit!" Su Yue took advantage of the time while he was drinking tea to open her mouth.

"Mm, go ahead." He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her.

Su Yue, who was sitting properly, asked about the draft she had prepared in her heart, "So the prize for our Valentine's Day success in holding hands is a limited edition handbag, right?"

On the surface, he pretended that he didn't care, but in reality, he was already very nervous.

Lu Yichen didn't answer her in a hurry. Instead, he stared at her carefully, wanting to see something from her face.

Su Yue felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She raised her teacup and asked casually, "There's a customer here asking again, and we haven't received any notice. I was just about to ask if you're sure?"

Saying so, she took a small sip of her tea.

"Is that so?" The ending was long, as if she didn't believe what Su Yue had said. It was enough to see through the depths of Su Yue's eyes, causing her to unconsciously move away.

Don't look directly at him.

"Mr. Lu, if you don't have me, then just agree that the employees under me rejected the customers, so as to avoid any misunderstandings when the time comes." Su Yue steadied her heart and spoke with determination.

It was as if everything was real.

Lu Yichen was not in a hurry. He smiled with an unknown meaning. He picked up the tea cup that was filled with tea and took a sip, "Manager Su, shouldn't I ask you about this prize?"

He opened his mouth playfully. If she remembered correctly, the bag she was holding was the same model as the prize he had offered, and it had come from the same designer.

Su Yue only heard a clang as her heart fell from a high place. A trace of fear quickly flashed in her eyes, then she returned to calmness. Her mouth raised into a smile as she relaxed, "Mr. Lu sure knows how to joke around. That's your sister's favorite bag, you're really willing to part with it?"

She was playing a game, an accident that would happen sooner or later.

The hand holding the teacup subconsciously tightened its grip as it stared at him, unwilling to let go of even the slightest of changes on his face.

Lu Yichen raised his mocking smile and didn't say anything.

Su Yue didn't understand what he meant, but she felt very uneasy. At the same time, she was also sweating for herself, worried that if he really insisted on using this bag as a reward, where would she get it for him?

Could he be trying to find a fake to fool others?

"Manager Su, it's all up to you now. It's getting late, I won't disturb you at work anymore. Bye bye." Lu Yichen didn't answer her question and stood up with his back facing her. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Manager Su, the prize for this event is indeed the bag in your hand. It's not a simple matter of holding hands successfully."

The reason why he was so generous was simply because he wanted to attract everyone's attention. He had filled their hearts with an idea, and that was, no matter which mall they first thought of when they went to, the first thing that came to mind would be their new city's shopping mall.

"Director Lu, I believe you definitely wouldn't do that." Su Yue said with a trace of hope in her heart.

"Is that so? Manager Su, you trust me that much? "

Su Yue smiled as she shrugged, pretending that nothing had happened as she sent him off, "Director Lu, farewell."

"Manager Su, then we'll be waiting to see." He left without looking back.

Su Yue watched him leave. After he disappeared from her sight, she let out a heavy breath. She felt as if she had been struck dumb, and couldn't even speak a word due to the pain in her heart.

She had no idea what he was talking about. What did he want? Or not? Or could it be that the reward he was preparing was purely a bag of the same kind?

She didn't know for sure.

Now she could only pray that he was joking, so she could wait until the event was over and find the right opportunity to tell him the truth, and then they could both sit down and discuss how to resolve it.

After thinking for a while, she thought of someone else. She was also worried that if he wasn't joking with her and what he said was true, what would she do?

If what she thought was true, then she would have no choice but to lay her cards on the table. She was afraid that not only would she be in danger of working, but she might also be in debt.

These two deals were not worth it at all in his heart.

Right now, it seemed like the only way was for him to participate in the competition and get first place. However … She wondered where she could find someone who would be willing to hold her hand.

Looking for Duan Yu's help?

Her mind automatically recalled the look in her mother's eyes when she saw Duan Yu. It scared her so much that she hurriedly shook her head and rejected it.

No matter how he thought about it, it was not right.

In the next few days, Lu Yichen noticed that Su Yue seemed to be avoiding him on purpose.

Or did it just happen like that? He had been to the door a few times already, but he never saw Su Yue in person. The people under her were always saying that she was busy or off duty, and even when he knocked on the door, he never saw Su Yue open it.

The clothes hanging on the balcony were still the same as before, she was nowhere to be seen even when running in the morning. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared into Lu Yichen's world, making his heart feel empty.
