C105

Du Liqing stopped walking, but she didn't turn around to look at Lu Juyan. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but he realized how difficult it was to raise his feet. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes as he habitually ignored the erratic heartbeat.

Inside the car, Lu Juyan undid the seatbelt on his body and slightly moved his body. He didn't even wait for him to get out of the car. As he walked down the stairs, his face was solemn and he anxiously said, "Boss, let's go upstairs. There is a piece of information that I want you to personally check."

"Sorry, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." Du Liangqing nodded to his colleague to show that she understood. He turned around and glanced at Lu Juyan, a perfunctory smile playing across his lips as he turned to leave.

She didn't know how to face Lu Juyan, so her footsteps unconsciously quickened. As she was going up the stairs, her shoes just happened to hit a bar on the stairs. She held onto the handrail to prevent herself from falling down. Ye Zichen felt a pang in his heart, and frantically covered her face with his hair, then continued to walk upstairs. On the surface, he pretended to be calm and collected, but his actions were somewhat similar to him fleeing in panic.

Lu Juyan kept staring at Du Liqing's figure, feeling stifled in his heart and suppressing his emotions. Even when Du Liqing disappeared from his line of sight, he did not retract his sight and only looked ahead absentmindedly.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Lu Juyan regained his senses. The sky outside the window had gradually darkened, and the street lamps had long since been lit up. Before he could go downstairs, he rolled down the window and drove away with great skill.

The two were just a second apart from each other. One was heading east, while the other was heading west. Neither of them had turned back, causing them to lose the opportunity to speak.

The next day, Lu Juyan followed the Western Australia investigation to Du Liqing's rented apartment. He saw Du Liqing heading downstairs, pretending to pass by her and stop beside her.

This caused Du Ruqing to feel somewhat puzzled. Before she could say anything, Lu Juyan had already pressed down on the window closest to her, his lips curling into a faint smile. His deep eyes were staring at her, as if he wanted to see through her. After a while, he said coolly, "What a coincidence. Should I send you to work?"

"Hmm? "No need, it's still early." Du Liqing was briefly stunned before averting his eyes, not wanting to meet Lu Juyan's gaze too much. He subconsciously looked down at the time on his phone's screen to avoid embarrassment.

"By the way, I'll drive you." Lu Juyan had no intention of letting Du Liqing off at this point. He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He stood in front of Du Liqing, blocking her way. His tough attitude clearly showed what he had done and how he had spoken.

Du Ruqing looked at Lu Juyan, inexplicably feeling entangled with him. Annoyed, her good mood immediately dissipated. She could only helplessly nod her head when she noticed the gazes from the surrounding people.

"It's best if you don't come this way in the future." The two of them got into the car. Du Liqing had just tied up his seat belt, so his gaze was focused on the road in front of them. He selectively ignored Lu Juyan's expression. After pondering for a moment, he pursed his lips and spoke in an indifferent manner.

She knew that Lu Juyan hadn't come here on the way and had purposefully driven over. She also knew that she couldn't have too much contact with Lu Juyan, not even if they were friends. Therefore, she could only choose to reject the offer and not give the other party too much hope. This way, no one would be disappointed.

Lu Juyan's hand, which was holding the steering wheel, paused for a moment. Out of the corner of her eyes, she looked at Du Ruqing, but didn't notice any hint of reluctance on her face. He felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. His cold face showed nothing. He pretended to drive seriously while pretending not to understand and chose to stay silent out of habit.

His thoughts were elsewhere, and he did not notice a man riding a bicycle through a red light around the corner.

"There's someone ahead!" Du Liqing didn't sense that something was wrong with Lu Juyan. He raised his eyes just in time to see the man. He reached out a hand to pat Lu Juyan's shoulder and subconsciously twisted the steering wheel.

Du Ruqing's shout had just pulled Lu Juyan back from his thoughts. As the car sped towards the left, he subconsciously stepped on the brake button. However, it was impossible to avoid the car colliding with the green railing in front of them, causing the body of the car to be damaged.

"Are you alright?" The two of them leaned forward as they thought the car was moving in the right direction. When Lu Juyan raised his head, his gaze immediately rested on Du Ruqing's livid figure. Ye Zichen looked up and down in panic, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it, then finally let go of his hanging heart.

Du Ruqing held the place where she just knocked and shook his head, indicating that there was no problem. Together they unbuckled their seat belts, opened the door, and went out to see what was going on with the car.

The hood of the car was smoking, and the front part of the car was covered with flowers because of the force of the impact. From the looks of it, it was impossible to drive this car.

A trace of worry flashed across Lu Juyan's face as his brow creased slightly. He pretended that this was an extremely important matter and seized the opportunity to complain bitterly, "The owner of the car probably has to hand over all his belongings before he can compensate."

"I will return the money to you." Du Liqing had never seen the worried expression on Lu Juyan's face before and his heart tightened. He looked at the famous car and took the matter to heart. He pursed his lips and took the initiative to suggest it.

Their gazes met, and in the next second, Du Ruqing shifted his gaze away and took out a sum of money from his bag to pay the staff members their salaries. Just as he was about to hand it over to Lu Juyan, he was firmly rejected.

"Boss, you're here. Do you want me to send you on your way?" Just as Du Liqing was about to say more words of consolation, a company employee drove by. He saw the existence of Lu Juyan and Du Liqing, as well as the damaged car. After driving her own car to the front, she stopped in front of Du Liqing and kindly suggested.

"No …" Du Liqing glanced at Lu Juyan and subconsciously refused. After all, she couldn't let the other party bear the compensation for this car alone. The feeling of a guilty conscience was the worst. Moreover, she didn't want to owe others anything.

"You go to work first. I'll settle this myself." Lu Juyan interrupted Du Liqing's words. He didn't want her to spend the slightest bit of effort because of this, so he said those words to soften her heart.

As the two of them tried to persuade each other, Du Liqing had no choice but to not refuse. Looking at the time on his phone, he realized that this incident had delayed him quite a bit. He could only nod his head in embarrassment and agree to leave this place with his subordinates.

Lu Juyan watched as the car left. He took out his mobile phone and called Western Australia to ask him to come here. He casually sat on the head of the car, waiting for the arrival of Western Australia.

"Take the car and fix it." As soon as he got off the bus, Lu Juyan threw down his orders and walked to the front passenger seat without a word. He closed his eyes and rested without a word.
