Chapter 388 I Miss You Very Much
Lu Xingchen did use Chu Zeyan's connections and information network, but she didn't plan to cooperate with Chu's at the beginning. However, Chu Zeyan brought another project to discuss with her a few days later, and said, "Didn't you say that as long as we talk about business, you won't not do my business, right?"
In fact, if it was purely a business matter, Lu Xingchen would still consider it, but he thought that if he could cooperate with the Chu Group at this time, then those people who were on the sidelines about Zhixing and Zhencheng because of the Feng Group would definitely make a different choice.
Moreover, since she had snatched Feng Qianyu's BM project, Feng Qianyu would definitely find trouble elsewhere. But if the Chu family cooperated with her, given the Feng family's current state, Feng Qianyu would not act rashly if she had any brains.
So, she took Chu Zeyan's order.
That's why she was not surprised at all when Li Zhen appeared in her office.
Li Zhen closed the office door and sat down opposite her. The two of them were usually busy, but because of their own affairs and some estrangement between them, they met much less frequently. Now, sitting opposite each other, no one spoke, but just looked at each other quietly.
After a while, Li Zhen said, "I heard about your cooperation with Chu Zeyan."
There was no room or need to deny this matter, so Lu Xingchen did not answer but said: "I also snatched the project from Fengshi BM."
Obviously Li Zhen also knew about this, so he continued, "I know it was Feng Qianyu who started it first."
Lu Xingchen: "Then is there anything else you need me to explain?"
Li Zhen: "I told you, getting too close to Chu Zeyan will cause trouble."
Lu Xingchen: "I was just discussing business with him."
Li Zhen: "Does he think so?"
Lu Xingchen was speechless for a moment, and asked back: "What does Feng Qianyu think of you?"
"..." Li Zhen was helpless with her retort, "Xingchen, I said that asking Feng to withdraw the investment was a favor that Mr. Feng asked me to do. You don't have to cooperate with Zhou Quanzhencheng and Chu Zeyan. I'm afraid you will be in danger."
"That's a matter between you and Old Feng, but Feng Qianyu has no intention of letting me go. Since she has touched me, I can't just sit there and wait for death, or wait for you to finish your business with the Feng family before saving me."
At this point, Lu Xingchen suddenly looked at him and asked calmly, "Or did you feel bad because my counterattack injured Feng Qianyu?"
"No."
"It was my action that made the Feng family unhappy?"
"It has nothing to do with the Feng family. I'm just worried about you." Li Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Xingchen, if you are unhappy, I would rather you vent your anger instead of doing this now."
"What now?"
"Don't you think you've been angry with me?" Li Zhen thought about it and felt that his choice of words might not be right. "I mean, we can't speak our minds calmly right now. You seem to be deliberately pushing me away."
"Have it?"
"Your 'have you' is very specific."
"..." Lu Xingchen was speechless for a moment. She seemed to be like this recently. Talking to Li Zhen was like discussing business. She had to find a way for the other party to attack while hiding her own weaknesses. "I'm sorry to make you feel this way, but I have always been like this. You may think I'm unlikable because of the comparison."
In fact, after saying this, Lu Xingchen felt uncomfortable in her heart. This was obviously a deliberate attempt to find fault. She never seemed to be like this before.
Of course Li Zhen also felt it and smiled helplessly again. Lu Xingchen clearly saw the fatigue on his face. She thought it might be because he was too tired recently, but the next moment she thought that it might be because she was like this that made him feel tired.
Suddenly I wanted to take back what I just said...
Li Zhen looked at her and said, "It's my fault. I didn't handle the things around me well and made you feel bad. I apologize to you."
His compromise did not make Lu Xingchen feel relieved, but made her feel even heavier in her heart. She never thought that she was an easy person to get along with, but now, it seemed that it was really like that.
Li Zhen continued, "After I take care of the Feng family's affairs, let's put aside the things at hand and go out for a walk, just the two of us, okay?"
Lu Xingchen swallowed and wanted to say yes, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into, "Do you feel tired of getting along with me?"
"No, I've just been a little busy lately..." Li Zhen's cell phone rang at this moment. He took it out and saw that it was an unremarked number, but he knew who the number belonged to, so he subconsciously looked at Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen knew that he was busy, so she straightened her back and said, "Go and do your work."
"Let's go home together after get off work tonight?"
The words "Let's go home together" suddenly struck Lu Xingchen's heart, which had been on the verge of collapse recently. She realized that her heart seemed to still have room for emotion, because it had been a long time since she had been alone with him. This time, she was about to refuse. After a pause, she said, "Okay, I'll wait for your call."
Hearing this, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her, "Then I'll go first."
Lu Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable and nodded.
As the end of the get off work day approached, Lu Xingchen glanced at the time at the bottom corner of the computer and slowly stopped working. She thought for a moment, got up, took her makeup box from her bag and went to the bathroom. She carefully touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, then combed her much longer hair and tidied her clothes before coming out.
Sitting back at her desk, she looked at the time again and waited for the phone on the desk to ring.
More than half an hour after the end of get off work, Li Zhen finally called. Lu Xingchen let out a sigh of relief, told himself that he must be more natural and less stiff, and then answered the phone.
"Hey?"
"Xingchen, I'm sorry, I can't make it back tonight. You don't have to wait for me, just go back first."
This kind of situation had happened quite a lot before, and she often did this, but she didn't think it was a big deal. But this time she felt particularly disappointed. Lu Xingchen swallowed and said, "Okay."
Although she couldn't see the other person's face and tried to keep her tone the same as before, Li Zhen asked her cautiously, "You, aren't angry?"
Did she make him have to be so cautious in getting along with her? Lu Xingchen inexplicably thought of Chu Zeyan's words, I am just... very lonely.
In fact, she was not only lonely, but also felt... bottomless, just like water with no bottom to reach. She wanted to push down with her feet, but she was afraid that the water would go over her head.
"No, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be back in a while."
"Ah."
There was a moment of silence on both ends of the phone. Just as Lu Xingchen was about to sigh and hang up, Li Zhen called out, "Xingchen!"
"……Um?"
"Don't meet Chu Zeyan in private. I feel uncomfortable."
With just these words, Lu Xingchen suddenly felt that it would not matter if she stepped on the water and it was over her head. She finally couldn't help laughing and said to Li Zhen: "Actually, I miss you a lot."
Li Zhen also felt like he was alive again, "Lu Xingchen, wait for me to come back in the evening."
"……Um."
Lu Xingchen hadn't been to Li Zhen's house for a long time. The moment she opened his door, she felt inexplicably at ease. She called Xu Fanghua and told her that she would not be going back today.
She wanted to sort out her feelings and wait for Li Zhen.
However, today, she waited in vain for a whole night. No one answered Li Zhen's phone, and finally it was turned off...
