I don't know you

Lin Xiangyu sat quietly in her room.

"Qi Ning, let me out." Lin Xiangyu raised her head and saw who it was. She hurriedly begged in a low voice.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I do not have that right." Qi Ning wanted to put the plate of fruit down and go out, but he couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw the helplessness and pity on Lin Xiangyu's face.

"I beg of you, I'm worried that Little Fishy will cry if she doesn't see me." Lin Xiangyu bit her lips, but couldn't find the time to shed her sorrowful tears.

Qi Ning didn't want to get involved with her boss, but thinking about how Lin Nianyu had helped his move a chair to sit, despite the risk of incurring her boss's wrath, she couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious.

"How about this, I'll go ask Mr Lu to take a look."

"No need," she said with a sigh of despair. "He won't agree. Thank you."

"He was still very concerned about you, and even asked me to prepare a plate of fruit for you." Hearing Lin Nianyu's tone, Qi Ning obviously saw the boss as someone who didn't understand a single word of reason. He couldn't help but speak up for her.

"I'm not lucky with his fake concern. You should let him taste it." Thinking about what Lu Jingjing had done to his, he couldn't help but feel angry as he spoke in an unkind tone.

Qi Ning opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort her, but no words came out.

At this time, without a boss to nod his head at, what others say is just empty words.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zining placed the fruit plate on the bedside table and left the room softly.

Lin Nianyu's eyes stared blankly at the fruit bowl on the table. The first time she had thought of meeting Lu Jingwen …

"Hello, I'm Lu Jingzhen. There's something I'd like to discuss with you." An unfamiliar number was picked up by an unfamiliar but magnetic male voice.

"But I don't know you." Lin Xiangyu was concentrating on the illustrations in her hands. When she heard his words, her brain short-circuited. She had no idea what was going on.

Since graduating from the American Academy, he had submitted his own draft everywhere, seeking a new home.

A year had passed, and he had finally received an invitation from a magazine to cooperate with him for a long time so that he could design illustrations for them.

"I'm from the Lu family, your sister's company." Lu Jingjing had never been disregarded by others before when he spoke his name. There was a sullen anger in his heart that had never been there before.

He was Lu Jingjing, the dignified third son of the Lu Corporation, the diamond king that practically everyone in Seahold knew about. When had he not been chased around like a treasure by the women? She had actually answered him like an outsider.

Lu family, Lu Jingjing? It was only when he was reminded of something that he remembered. Puzzled, he asked, "I don't think we've met before. What business do you have with me?"

"I want to show you something. Eastern Maple Cafe. 3 PM. See you around."

Before she could receive an accurate reply, the caller had already hung up after giving a detailed location and time.

"Hey, hey …" She listlessly listened to the beep on the phone and wanted to say something more.

Sigh, isn't this person too unreasonable? He took the line without even obtaining my consent, he is truly a domineering person.

Leaving this short conversation to the back of her mind, Lin Nianyu's thoughts once again returned to the illustrations in front of her. She had no idea how to create her own.

He looked up at the clock on the table. 2: 20 P.M.

That Lu something seemed to have arranged to meet him at a café somewhere east at three o'clock.

Three in the afternoon?

Looking at her messy hair and nightgown, Lin Xiangyu panicked.

Taking a bath, changing clothes, and fixing his messy hair …

She kept saying to herself, "Lin Nianyu, you don't even know that man. Why are you so nervous?"

Twenty minutes later, a young girl appeared in the makeup mirror. She was at the prime of her life, sweet and slightly mischievous.

"Alright, let's go. Let's see what he really wants to do first." He muttered to himself as he locked the door.

What cafe, what is it?

Call to confirm?

It was just a few words, not something anyone of his age could remember. Judging from the man's tone, it was difficult to speak to. If he really did make a phone call, he would definitely be laughed at.

Of course, she didn't like the names of people who had never been to a coffee shop before.

What, what?

"Xiang Yu, you're going out?" The landlady came back with the vegetable basket enthusiastically — she said hello.

"Yeah, to see a friend." When she went out with her sister, she would always tell her sister where she was going. Now that she lived in this private room, she would tell people she knew where she was going.

"Then what are you standing there for? A date is a big deal. " When the landlady saw that she didn't even move her feet after she finished speaking, she continued to chat with a smile on her face.

"What kind of date is this? He said something about a café or something, but I don't even know where it is."

"What?" She tilted her head to think for a moment, then suddenly said loudly, "My family's young lady will sometimes go with her friends to a coffee shop in Dongyue City, in the west side of the city, it looks like she'll take a taxi for 15 minutes. I don't know if it's the place you were talking about."

15 minutes later, Lin Nianyu's eyes lit up. She happily bade farewell to her landlord and ran to the side of the street.

It was exactly three o'clock in the morning. It must be that place.

Lin Nianyu was extremely lucky. As soon as she got to the street, she stopped a taxi. It was three o'clock by the time she stepped into the East Peak Cafe.
