"No, I'll come find me..."

Before I could finish saying "Dad," the receptionist said, "Mr. Shen is sick and hasn't come to work for the past two days."

"sick?"

"Well, I seemed to have drank too much the day before yesterday. It's strange. Mr. Shen never drinks. Maybe he had a few more drinks with his clients. He doesn't have a good drinking capacity."

The front desk lady was very discerning. She observed Lu Yan's expression as she spoke: "Assistant Qin went to his home and said he had a fever. He hasn't come to the company in the past two days."

"oh..."

Lu Yan's hand holding the thermos box tightened. At this time, Lu Zhen and several men in suits and leather shoes came out of the elevator and seemed to be going to eat.

Seeing Lu Yan standing at the front desk, Lu Zhen immediately walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Presumably Jian Yao hasn't informed her yet.

"I'm here to bring you soup. Mom made it."

Lu Zhen looked slightly relieved, originally thinking that she was here to see Shen Kuo again.

Lu Yan stuffed the thermos box into Lu Zhen's hands, turned around and walked out without saying anything, but after taking only two steps, she turned back with all her strength.

Lu Zhenzheng showed off to his colleagues: "This is the love soup that my wife cooked for me."

As a result, Lu Yan couldn't help but snatch the soup back, turned around and ran away.

"Hey, you girl, what are you doing!"

"Dad, you dare to eat the dark food made by Mom! If you eat it, you won't be able to work this afternoon. I...I will help you get rid of it. I will tell Mom later that you ate it and there was not a single bite left!" "

Lu Zhen chased her out, and the little girl got on her bicycle and disappeared at the end of Wutong Lane.

"Stinky girl, I'll settle the score with you when I get home tonight!"

Lu Yan rode her bike through several streets and arrived at Shen Kuo's community.

She stood at the door holding the thermos box, and hesitated for a long time. Her hand fell to the door several times, but she didn't have the courage to knock it down.

So annoying!

I knew clearly that I shouldn't come over and ignore him anymore, but...

She just couldn't control herself and couldn't help thinking that he was seriously ill and there was no one to take care of him at home. He must be so pitiful on his own.

At this moment, the elevator dinged, and Lu Yan, who had a guilty conscience, ran to the stairwell and hid.

A woman in her thirties walked out of the elevator. She was wearing high-heeled boots and a business suit with a one-line skirt. She had curly hair hanging down her shoulders and looked very elegant.

Lu Yan recognized her. She was Ouyang Yue, the director of the marketing department of Xingchen Company. She was also recognized as the most beautiful and tasteful woman in Xingchen Company.

Although she is much older than the new girl who joined the company, her mature and intellectual temperament outshines all the young girls who have just graduated in the company.

It is also because she has good conditions and high vision. Of course, she also makes a lot of money, so she is still single.

Lu Yan recognized her because she came to see Lu Zhen at home because of work matters. At that time, her decent speech and behavior left a deep impression on Lu Yan.

She walked to Shen Kuo's door, took a deep breath, and after a long period of mental preparation, she finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door.

Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat——

Someone got there first.

Lu Yan is not stupid, she can see that Ouyang Yue's little actions are all out of... nervousness.

Women will only show nervous emotions when facing someone they care about.

It is obvious that Ouyang Yue has a crush on Shen Kuo.

Soon, the room door opened.

Ouyang Yue's beautiful and delicate face immediately put on a warm smile: "Mr. Shen, I heard that you are sick. I came to take a look. Can I come in?"

Lu Yan hid at the entrance of the safety passage. From this angle, she could only see Ouyang Yue's profile and not Shen Kuo, but she could hear Shen Kuo's voice——

"I'll contact Lu Zhen for all work matters. I'm on vacation these two days."

His voice sounded much duller, with a thick nasal sound.

Ouyang Yue shook the plastic bag in her hand and said with a smile: "You guessed it wrong, I'm here to visit a doctor."

Although she is not very old, it is still a bit inconsistent for her to imitate the cuteness of a little girl. Anyway, in the eyes of Lu Yan, an eighteenth-tier love rival, she is just pretending to be cute!

She won't even talk like this anymore!

Shen Kuo said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the house is very messy and it's not convenient for you to come in."

Ouyang Yue knew she would hit a wall, but she didn't want to give up yet: "Mr. Shen, your face doesn't look good. I'm very worried."

"A little cold, not that serious."

"You haven't eaten yet. You can't eat takeout if you are sick. I bought a duck and want to make a pot of duck soup for you."

Lu Yan was a little unhappy. Shen Kuo's refusal was so obvious. She couldn't tell.

No, obviously she doesn't understand, but pretends not to understand...

A diamond-level single man like Shen Kuo, let alone Ouyang Yue, there is no single woman in the company who has never missed him.

Lu Yan curled her lips, and the disobedient Jio kicked the wall. Unexpectedly, she accidentally kicked a can at her feet and flew it away.

With a "clang" sound, the can rolled out of the safe passage, hit the wall and bounced back, landing right in front of Ouyang Yue and Shen Kuo.

Lu Yan:......

She has never felt more stupid than now.

Ouyang Yue frowned and looked towards the safe passage: "Who is there?"

Lu Yan hid in the doorway, her back pressed against the wall, her eyes closed tightly, pretending to be dead.

Oh my god, don’t come here! Don’t come here! Don’t come here!

If Ouyang Yue discovers her and goes back to complain to Lu Zhenyi, she will be doomed.

But this is the second most important thing...she doesn't want to show her cowardice in front of her love rival.

Shen Kuo's dark eyes glanced at the safe passage, as if he had guessed something, and said to Ouyang Yue, who was about to go over to investigate the situation: "You should go back."

"But Mr. Shen..."

"You came here after skipping work, right? Did you clock in?"

"..."

Lu Yan silently gave Shen Kuo a thumbs up in her mind. They were kind enough to come visit you, so you asked them if they were absent from work.

"Go back quickly. Visiting me will not be counted as working time, and your salary will be deducted as usual."

Ouyang Yue's whole face turned red. She couldn't hear the clear rejection in Shen Kuo's words.

"It's hard, are all the company rumors true?"

Ouyang Yue's mood was a little unbearable: "I...I have been in the company for almost ten years. You know that I have been treating you for so many years..."

"Ouyang, what should be said, I already said it a few years ago."

"But... I know you have always loved someone, and I also know that person has passed away. The living can never compare to the dead..."

"Ouyang, you are wrong. No one living or dead can compare to her position in my heart."

Ouyang Yue's shoulder blades trembled, and her voice was filled with tears: "I don't compare with her. Really, I am willing to wait. I...I really like you. But...you like someone else now."

Shen Kuo didn't say a word.

"Is... is it because she is younger than me?"

Shen Kuo shook his head: "I have not fallen in love with anyone else. My lover...from the beginning to the end is only her."

He once promised Lu Yan - she is the only one, the only one in this life.

Ouyang Yue's watery eyes gradually gained hope: "So, the rumors in the company...are all false. You don't like Mr. Lu's little daughter, right?"

Lu Yan leaned against the wall, her dark eyes gradually dimmed, her hands tightened on her clothes, and light blue veins appeared on the back of her hands.

Both women were waiting for Shen Kuo's answer.

At the top of the stairs, Lu Yan tightened her clothes and her eyes turned red.

Shen Kuo's hoarse voice came: "Ouyang, don't wait for me."

"You haven't answered me yet!" Ouyang Yue lost her image and cried like a little girl who had just lost love: "Tell me, you don't like that little girl from the Lu family!"

"I have always believed that one day she will come back. This is my only belief in living."

Shen Kuo's voice was very bitter and astringent.

"Don't deceive yourself." Ouyang Yue squatted down holding her knees and buried her head in tears: "The dead person, how can the dead person come back? She will never come back again."

"She will come back." Shen Kuo insisted like a child: "She will come back."

"Then what are you going to do if she doesn't come back? Do you really want to remain disabled... and live like this for the rest of your life?"

Shen Kuo lowered his eyes and stared at the woman who collapsed and cried. His obscure eyes were completely dull -

"If she never comes back, then I'll die."

When Lu Yan heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

He said these words so calmly, so...
