Seeing that Lu Yunfan was about to leave, Lu Yunhang grabbed Lu Yunfan’s wrist. “What are you doing? It’s your art gallery! I’m just here to help you entertain your guests!”
“Please, brother!” Lu Yunfan whined. “Please! This concerns your sister’s marriage!”
Lu Yunhang had already heard from Lu Yunfan that it was a matter of marriage. Thinking of how his parents were not letting the matter go of Lu Yunfan chasing after Young Master Lin, he held his forehead. “You…”
“Thank you, Brother! I’m leaving!”
Lu Yunfan didn’t give Lu Yunhang a chance to speak before grabbing her bag and umbrella and running away.
Lu Yunhang: “…”
He was a company’s president, yet Lu Yunfan had the nerve to get him to be a watchdog!?
But what else could he do? She was his biological sister… it wasn’t like he could just throw her away! He could only do as he was told.
Lu Yunfan got into a cab and called Lin Chen, asking him where they were going for lunch.
Lin Chen was still busy, so he said, “I don’t have much time, so we’ll just eat at Lotus Pond Under Moonlight…”
When she heard how busy Lin Chen was, the thoughtful Lu Yunfan felt she shouldn’t let Lin Chen specially make time for her. So, she said, “Just stay there in your office. I’ll bring the food, and we can have lunch there! I’m a considerate girlfriend… I won’t add to your troubles when you’re busy!”
On the other end of the line, the documents in front of Lin Chen seemed to become adorable when Lin Chen heard Lu Yunfan’s words.
“Got it!”
“Then what do you want to eat?” Lu Yunfan asked as she looked out the window, smiling.
“Anything. I’m not picky,” Lin Chen said.
“Then I’ll pick. If I pick wrongly, don’t blame me. Just let me know so I can remember and avoid it next time!” Lu Yunfan said before hanging up, not wanting to disturb Lin Chen anymore. She then directly asked the driver for a good restaurant recommendation.
After all, Lu Yunfan hadn’t been in Haicheng for long. Usually, she would just order food to be delivered to her home. Therefore, she didn’t know much about good restaurants in Haicheng.
The driver brought Lu Yunfan to a famous Cantonese restaurant in Haicheng. Lu Yunfan ordered a meal before heading towards Lin Corporation with a thermos container.
Lin Chen’s secretary was already waiting downstairs for Lu Yunfan.
Perhaps because he saw Lu Yunfan kiss Lin Chen the other day, and the fact that Lin Chen even asked her to come over for lunch today, the secretary assumed that Lin Chen was dating Lu Yunfan. So, his attitude towards Lu Yunfan became gentler.
“If you didn’t come, I think President Lin was planning to skip lunch!” The secretary said as he pressed the elevator button.
“Has Brother Lin Chen ever skipped lunch before?” Lu Yunfan asked Lin Chen’s secretary.
Lin Chen’s secretary nodded. “President Lin took over the Lin Corporation when the Lin family’s second uncle got into trouble. The Lin Corporation was a mess at that time, but President Lin managed to make it through! During that period, he was so busy that he didn’t even have time for dinner… Sometimes, he would just eat two sandwiches to appease his hunger.”
Lu Yunfan’s heart ached for her Brother Lin Chen as she listened. When she thought of the year the Lin family got into trouble, her jaw clenched!
If only she had known Brother Lin Chen earlier, she would have asked her family to help so that Brother Lin Chen wouldn’t have suffered so much.
But on second thought, given how proud Brother Lin Chen was, even if she begged her family, he probably wouldn’t accept their help…
Once the elevator arrived, the secretary gestured for Lu Yunfan to follow him to Lin Chen’s office.
Lu Yunfan followed him and knocked on Lin Chen’s office door. She then entered with the thermos container.
“Time to eat!”
The moment Lu Yunfan entered, she had already adjusted her emotions. She was able to happily call out to Lin Chen, who was working at his desk.
Lu Yunfan hoped to give Lin Chen a time to feel relaxed, allowing him a temporary break from his demanding work.
When Lin Chen raised his head and saw Lu Yunfan’s bright smile, he couldn’t help but smile as well. He put down his pen and walked towards the coffee table.
Lu Yunfan acted like a virtuous wife serving her husband. She squatted between the coffee table and sofa, setting up the food and cutlery, and deliberately teasing Lin Chen by making an invitation gesture. “Please have your meal!”
“A Cantonese dish?” Lin Chen asked after sitting down. “Did you go very far to get this?”
“Why? Does your heart ache for me?” Lu Yunfan was definitely the kind of girl who could give a little sunshine to brighten one’s day. She suddenly went up to Lin Chen and revealed a silly smile. “But it’s okay, it’s not like my legs did the running. As long as you like it, even if I have to take a plane and get it overseas, I would feel that it’s worth it!”
Lu Yunfan’s mouth was so sweet that Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile. The young lady was such a sweet talker.
Lu Yunfan was short, so when she sat on the sofa with Lin Chen, her arms couldn’t reach the food. Hence, she sat cross-legged on the ground.
“The thought of having a meal with you like this makes me very happy. We’re just like husband and wife!” Lu Yunfan bit down on her chopsticks with reddened ears. “Don’t you feel the same way, Brother Lin Chen?”
Lu Yunfan looked up at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took some vegetables and said to Lu Yunfan, “Husbands and wives usually sit together at the dining table at home. They won’t sit like this, one on the sofa and the other one on the floor!”
Lu Yunfan pouted. “It’s because my arms are short!”
“Sit over there…”
Lin Chen pointed at the single sofa.
Lu Yunfan, on the other hand, wore a pitiful look because Lin Chen viewed her with contempt. She sat down with the rice in her arms, feeling aggrieved. Lin Chen pushed the coffee table over and placed the dishes in front of Lu Yunfan, while he sat on the other end of the three-seater near Lu Yunfan.
Lu Yunfan smiled. “Brother Lin Chen, you’re so smart!”
Lin Chen couldn’t resist smiling. “Can you always find a reason to praise someone, anytime and anywhere?”
“There’s no need to look for a reason. Brother Lin Chen’s every move is worthy of praise. After all, people who look pleasing to the eye do things that are also pleasing to the eye!” Lu Yunfan said.
“Tsk tsk…” Lin Chen sneered as he lowered his head to eat his meal.
Lu—Is A Treasure—Yunfan happily ate with Lin Chen.
During the meal, Lin Chen asked about the art gallery’s opening. Lu Yunfan only said, “I asked my brother to look after it for me for a while. To me, eating with Brother Lin Chen is more important. But I’ll hurry back there after I’m done eating with you. My brother still has to go back to Jincheng. I heard he has something to do with Brother Xie.”
At the mention of Xie Jingqiu, Lu Yunfan suddenly recalled something else. She asked Lin Chen, “I heard from my brother that Brother Xie asked Brother Tang Xi to look for you to collaborate with him, but you rejected him. Why? Many companies want to collaborate with the Jiahe Corporation…”
“There’s no reason. It’s just that for the time being, the Lin Group isn’t yet at the level where we’re ready to work together with Jiahe Corporation. Things that aren’t meant to happen yet shouldn’t be forced!” Lin Chen didn’t elaborate.
