Chapter 529: It’s All a Lie!
Song Yinyin stared intently at Lu Jihan’s every move, listening to his fluent German; it was truly a pleasure.Sometimes he would stand up and engage in intense discussions with the senior management partners in Germany.
Perhaps he got excited, for he even took off his coat, revealing a white shirt and black trousers underneath, his posture tall and upright.
The way he’s so fully immersed in work, it’s so damn noble, so damn handsome, so damn ascetic!
Song Yinyin just kept staring at him like this, and she didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally raised his hand to turn off the computer screen and got up to walk towards her.
Only then did Song Yinyin come back to her senses, realizing that he had finished the video conference.
"Did you wait long?" he asked with a smile as he sat down next to her.
"Not really."
Lu Jihan nodded, reached out, and hooked her fingers, seemingly inadvertently intertwining their fingers, while his fingertips playfully tickled her palm.
Then he looked up at her, slightly raising an eyebrow: "I saw you staring straight at me just now."
Song Yinyin’s face turned slightly red.
She hadn’t expected him to notice her watching him the whole time.
How embarrassing...
When the man saw the pink hue from her cheeks to her ears, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly, simply extending his long arm to wrap her slender waist tightly, pulling her closer to him.
He leaned in close to her ear, deliberately blowing warm air, teasing her with his words: "Do you know that staring at a man like that can easily make someone..."
He paused, his words holding an underlying meaning.
Song Yinyin was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding, and instinctively glanced back at him.
With that glance, she saw the amber whirlpool in his eyes deepening, immediately understanding what his unfinished sentence implied.
The next second, ’boom,’ her whole body reacted strongly.
This man, with his roguish aura at this moment, wasn’t at all like the dignified, steady, and low-key person she saw earlier?!
Deceptive, all of it was deceptive!
She quickly pushed him away, jumping three meters away from him.
"Be careful! This is your office; what if, what if... Shen Kang comes in and sees us, we..."
The rest of her words, she was too embarrassed to continue.
However, Lu Jihan wore a playful and amused smile: "So what if he sees us? It’s no big deal. He knows we’re getting married; isn’t it normal?"
His words made sense.
Song Yinyin was at a loss for words to refute him.
Lu Jihan got up and walked over to her, extending his large hand to hold her small hands, tightening his grip, and asked:
"Were you scared by the practice room being emptied out? Or, are you unhappy about it?"
"It’s okay, actually. It doesn’t matter where I practice the piano. At worst, I’ll just practice at home. Running between the opera house and the mansion, it doesn’t matter anyway since there’s a driver."
She shrugged, speaking honestly.
However, thinking of Professor Qin Qing, she felt an uncomfortable feeling rising inside.
"By the way, how’s your collaboration with Professor Qin Qing going? Is it going smoothly?" she asked, looking at Lu Jihan with concern, always worried something might go wrong.
After all, Professor Qin Qing and Song Anqi had a mentor-student relationship and were close to her father, Song Huaizhong.
Now, with Song Anqi in prison and Song’s Enterprise bankrupt and acquired by Mainland Group, she had a lingering sense of foreboding.
Yet, Lu Jihan smoothly pulled her into his embrace: "Don’t worry, everything is going very smoothly."
With his reassurance, Song Yinyin felt much more at ease.
