Ch. 155 - Because You're Not Working Hard Enough!
"My money~~~"
Lu Xing's defenses were broken as he transferred money to Xia Yeshuang's account, silently shedding tears in his heart.
Lower the volume and let the world listen to the sound of my defenses breaking.
Lu Xing arduously entered the payment password, arduously clicked "complete," and immediately put down his phone, regretting it for even a second longer!
"What's wrong?"
A gentle voice interrupted Lu Xing's broken defense.
He squinted his eyes and looked up. CEO Wen was backlit, a soft smile on her lips.
"I waited for a long time in the infirmary and thought I'd come out to find you."
Wen Lingxiu walked up to Lu Xing. When she saw the corner of his mouth, she asked in an unchanging tone.
"Is it too hot? Did you get heatstroke?"
Saying that, she took a small, thin wet wipe from her handbag, tore open the package, and slowly wiped from Lu Xing's forehead.
"Wipe your face, cool down."
Lu Xing obediently let her do as she pleased, but his eyes were fixed on the white pearl earrings hanging from her earlobes. How much must those cost?
"I didn't get heatstroke. It's just a little hot. Thank you, CEO Wen."
Wen Lingxiu let out a laugh. The wet wipe traced along Lu Xing's cheek to his lips.
Lu Xing suddenly froze.
Holy f*ck!
Does that Little Goldie's lip gloss come off?
F*ck!
His clients are all decent people.
Even Song Junzhu wouldn't pull this crap with endless bull-like strength like Little Goldie!
So Lu Xing hadn't even thought about the lip gloss.
And he wasn't some kind of pretty boy. He didn't use lip gloss or lipstick. At most, he would learn about the categories for his clients.
But he didn't know if the one Xia Yeshuang was using today would come off!
Damn it.
Why didn't he think of this?
Because he wasn't working hard enough!
Lu Xing, after a painful lesson, decided to go back and furiously study lipstick shades and brands.
Learn, there is no end to learning!
Wen Lingxiu simply wiped past Lu Xing's lips, and by the way, wiped the other side of his face before throwing the wet wipe into the trash can.
Lu Xing didn't even have a chance to look at the wet wipe to see if there was any lip gloss on it!
It's over.
Lu Xing's heart was itching. He tried to observe CEO Wen's expression, but she was as gentle as ever.
Damn it!
Is it there or not?
Wen Lingxiu looked at Lu Xing's unresisting manner as she wiped his face and smiled as she ruffled his head.
"Alright, do you feel a little better?"
"That friend of yours, the medical team I called has taken him to the hospital for a physical check-up. You can rest assured."
At the same time.
Lu Xing received a message from Hu Zhongzhong.
【Hu Zhongzhong】: Wuhu, adoptive father! You are my adoptive father! Holy f*ck! This hospital room is so big! This toilet is so advanced, it can even spray water!
【Hu Zhongzhong】: I didn't expect it. Adoptive father, you're actually a rich second-generation! So shocking, you really are an emperor!
【Hu Zhongzhong】: Adoptive father, you're doing well now. Can you give me a Rolls-Royce? Mwah!
Before, Lu Xing often said that he was an emperor.
Hu Zhongzhong had purely taken it as him talking nonsense.
But now.
After meeting Lu Xing's so astonishingly generous little aunt, Hu Zhongzhong believed it.
Then if he called Lu Xing "adoptive father," wouldn't he be the crown prince?!
E-heh!
【Hu Zhongzhong】: Can you adopt me as your son? That way, when you die, I can inherit your inheritance.
【Lu Xing】: Get out!
【Hu Zhongzhong】: Yes, Your Majesty.
【Hu Zhongzhong】: By the way, Your Majesty, I told big silly Chun about this. Is that okay?
【Lu Xing】: You've already said it. Can I turn back time?
【Hu Zhongzhong】: Your Majesty's magnanimity!
【Hu Zhongzhong】: Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, if big silly Chun knows, then everyone will know.
Lu Xing: ...
This is bad!
I forgot that kid is a gossip expert.
In less than a day, the news that Lu Xing was actually a super-rich second-generation had spread throughout the entire class.
"Let's go. Let's go home."
Wen Lingxiu patted Lu Xing's shoulder and pulled him up.
She had made up her mind. This time, she had to trick Lu Xing into coming home with her!
Mainly, Wen Lingxiu had never expected that Lu Xing could even develop clients at school.
Does he not have enough love debts?
How on earth does he manage his time?
But in order to prevent Lu Xing from ending the contract with Xia Yeshuang and then developing relationships with other "Yeshuangs"...
It's still safest for Lu Xing to stay with her!
The women outside are all demons and monsters!
So Wen Lingxiu said.
"Your homeroom teacher also came to the infirmary just now. She said you were scared today and wanted to give you a few days off."
Lu Xing: ???
You think I'll believe you?
Old Ban, who wishes everyone could save time by eating on one side and shitting on the other...
She can say such a thing?
But it was fine.
All the knowledge points had already been taught. Now, his daily routine at school was—
Doing test papers, explaining test papers, drinking chicken soup. Doing test papers, explaining test papers, drinking chicken soup.
It was as if he had entered a time loop. If he missed a day, the test papers could drown a person's seat!
But with Li Dachun around, Lu Xing was not worried either.
He had always insisted on being at school. Before, it was because of Wei Qingyu. Now, it was because of Xia Yeshuang.
But now, Xia Yeshuang's contract had also ended.
So whether he studied at school or at home, for him, there was no difference. And home was even more fragrant.
"Okay, thank you, CEO Wen."
Lu Xing thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.
Seeing Lu Xing agree, Wen Lingxiu's eyes curved, and she said softly.
"I usually work and won't be back. you can just study at home. No one will disturb you."
"But..."
Sensing that Lu Xing was about to speak, Wen Lingxiu interrupted him. "Then you'll have to cook at home."
I provide you with accommodation, you cook for me.
Very reasonable, right?
Lu Xing was speechless. He nodded, his face serious, as if he had received some solemn task.
"No problem! I will definitely raise CEO Wen to be fat and... pei!"
Wen Lingxiu laughed.
Lu Xing also laughed silly along with her.
CEO Wen is a decent person. She wants to help him but doesn't do it directly.
A good person.
A very, very good person!
"Let's go, let's go home."
"CEO Wen, where's Secretary Zhao?"
"...Huh?"
Wen Lingxiu's usually sharp brain suddenly went blank.
It's over.
I forgot about Secretary Zhao!
"She seems to be in the infirmary, communicating with the vice principal..."
Until Secretary Zhao got into the car with a face full of deep-seated bitterness, both Lu Xing and Wen Lingxiu didn't dare to look at her, both averting their gazes.
For no other reason.
Purely out of a guilty conscience.
Secretary Zhao, whose mouth had gone dry from playing tai chi with the vice principal: ...
CEO Wen, you left me to chat with a bald old man, and you yourself went to talk love with a handsome young man.
Are you treating people as fools just because they don't get angry!
Boo-hoo-hoo~~~
...
Just as the car was about to start, a line of black cars stopped at the school gate.
A bald man with sunglasses got out of the car. Behind him were many bodyguards who looked like they were from a TV drama's underworld.
Lu Xing was surprised.
"Are they filming a TV show?"
Wen Lingxiu squinted at the bald man and said with a smile.
"That's the CEO of the Xia family, called Xia Wu."
Holy f*ck!
Lu Xing was instantly dumbfounded.
So this is the one from the eight-divorce family!
Xia Wu got out of the car and scanned the area. After seeing the Bentley parked on the side, he came over excitedly.
One look at the license plate number and he knew it was Wen Lingxiu's car!
Knock, knock, knock.
He knocked on the car window.
"CEO Wen!"
The car window rolled down. Xia Wu saw Wen Lingxiu and a handsome youth sitting in the back.
Wen Lingxiu didn't want Lu Xing to know that she had witnessed the scene on the bench, so she said first.
"CEO Xia, long time no see."
"You go about your business. I've picked up my child and I'm planning to leave."
Xia Wu's gaze fell on Lu Xing, and he said with surprise.
"CEO Wen, your child is quite handsome."
Xia Wu saw Lu Xing lower his head shyly and thought this kid was quite proper. So he couldn't help but tease.
"Little handsome guy, want to exchange contact information?"
"Uncle has a few daughters who are about your age. Oh, and sons too."
Wen Lingxiu froze.
Lu Xing also froze.
