Chapter 56 - Is It Coincidentally the Same as Me?

Banxia glared at her. She just started working as they were almost together the whole time in the early afternoon. Since when was she busy with something?

Unexpectedly, Lu Sinian spoke before her. “Miss Chen, if you leave now, I’m afraid Miss Ye will feel uncomfortable. If things are not urgent, how about you wait for a while and we can leave together?”

Shen Qingyan blinked and had no choice but to sit down again.

However, this meal seemed to be doomed to not end well. It was already messy enough before Chi Yu decided to come over.

Chi Yu walked over to the three of them. It was probably because he was instructed by Mo Chenyan. He did not appear to know Banxia as he did not greet her or call out shocking words like “Mrs. President.”

“Director Lu.” He looked directly at the man opposite Banxia and said in a polite voice, “President Mo asks if you are free to discuss the financial statements for the first half of the year.”

Coincidentally, Banxia’s phone rang. When she turned it on, she saw a text message from Mo Chenyan.

After Lu Sinian heard Chi Yu’s words, he was slightly startled. “Now?”

Discussing financial statements over a meal? President Mo was really in a carefree mood and not afraid of choking.

“Are you free?” Chi Yu continued smiling. “If you aren’t free, I can tell the President now.”

Lu Sinian’s mouth quivered. How could he say something so obvious like he was busy because he was eating? Mo Chenyan was also not blind, and he probably sent Chi Yu over to deliberately disturb him using an innocent matter as a disguise.

“Sure.” He nodded in acknowledgment with an elegant smile. “You can go over to tell the President that I’ll be there in a minute.”

Only then did Chi Yu leave in satisfaction. When he turned around, he could not help but sigh in relief. Luckily, Director Lu had a good temper and attitude. If he was not careful and provoked him, it would really be the end of the world.

God knows that when the President saw Director Lu sitting across his wife, his face was as dark as a storm cloud!

Lu Sinian retracted his gaze, pushed the bridge of his glasses with a slender finger and nodded gently to Banxia and Shen Qingyan. “I’m sorry, the President is looking for me. I’ll be making a move first. Let’s eat together another time.”

After he walked away, Shen Qingyan suddenly patted Banxia’s hand. “So it’s him! Lu Sinian. I just knew that this name was so familiar. It turns out that he’s Financial Director Lu!”

She paused for a while and then winked. “Banxia, he’s one of the majority shareholders of the Mo Corporation!”

Banxia shot her a strange look. “Since when do you know so much about the Mo Corporation?”

Shen Qingyan’s eyes sparkled and she smiled. “As an official employee of the Mo Corporation, I have to do my homework before the first day of work. For example, understand more about its customs and culture…”

“Does this include knowing the name of the Financial Director?”

Shen Qingyan was suddenly speechless.

…

Mo Chenyan looked at the man opposite him coldly for a long time before he spat out a sneer. “Who said that a villain doesn’t harm his next-door neighbors? Why don’t you think about the women of Mo Chenyan?”

Lu Sinian smiled elegantly. “Can’t I change my mind?”

He pushed his glasses and light flashed across his lens. “What about you? You never entered the cafeteria before. When did you start becoming interested in this place?”

“Can’t I investigate the sentiments of my employees?”

Lu Sinian, who was wearing a branded suit, laughed a few times before placing his precious elbow on the clean table and leaning forward. “Who are you interested in?”

Mo Chenyan glared at him in disgust. “Please keep your messy thoughts to yourself!”

“Is it coincidentally the same as me?”

Lu Sinian seemed a little surprised. He slightly raised his eyebrow. “When I was in the army, you said that you were not interested in the pretty female instructors. I thought that our tastes were different.”

More accurately, he always thought that this man was not interested in girls.

As childhood friends who grew up together and were in the same group in the army, he never saw any woman that interested him before.

In fact, there were some instances that made him suspect that this man was gay.

Mo Chenyan was expressionless. His thin lips coldly spat out a sentence. “Next time, don’t let me see you sitting opposite my woman.”

Lu Sinian was taken aback. “Opposite?” He smiled elegantly and tapped his long fingers on the table lightly. “I just knew that our tastes in women were different. After making a fuss, President Mo, are you just jealous?”

He was speechless.

“Although I won’t deny that Ye Banxia is very beautiful…” He sighed. “Well, it seems that your taste is not bad then.” He nodded in affirmation and apologized for thinking that he was gay when they were younger. After that, he laughed lazily. “However, I prefer the one sitting beside me just now.”

Mo Chenyan narrowed his eyes.

“You like her but you still pushed her aside?”

“I’m just afraid of scaring her, that’s why I’m adopting the roundabout method.”

It was seriously roundabout.

However, as long as it was not Ye Banxia, Mo Chenyan did not care.

“I’ll be going off first. You can continue your roundabout strategy.”

The tall man with the slender figure stood up. After a second, he walked out of the restaurant with his long legs. Lu Sinian watched his cold back view disappear.

After receiving the text message, Banxia paid attention to their movements. After he left, she quickly took her phone and said to Shen Qingyan, “I’ll be going to the washroom. You can go back first. Don’t wait for me.”

“The washroom is…”

Before she could finish, Banxia was already far away.

After Shen Qingyan saw both of them leave, she narrowed her eyes and a glimmer of light flashed across her eyes.

…

Banxia walked out of the cafeteria. She swept the area but did not see Mo Chenyan’s figure and was a bit dubious.

The message told her to wait outside the cafeteria.

Just as she was about to call him, she received another text message.

This time, there were only two simple words: Go upstairs.

Banxia noticed the small staircase next to the cafeteria and wondered if it was made deliberately. The exquisite floral design on the handrail made it seem like it was there as a decoration.

She slowly walked up. At the end of the stairs, she saw an empty rooftop. Even the air smelled fresh.

The breeze blew and swept her long skirt. Banxia walked slowly towards the man standing there.

“Are you looking for me?”

She stood behind him and saw his cool and elegant back. Banxia’s interrogative voice was very soft and gentle.

Mo Chenyan slowly turned around and walked towards her. His eyes were fixed on her quiet face. If he told her that there was no reason why he was looking for her, would she be very speechless?

He curved his lips unfathomably, but his expression was very serious. “What did you do just now?”

Banxia was stunned. “What did I do?”
