Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 44 Lu Zhiyan's Jealousy
In the underground parking garage on the first basement level, Lu Zhiyan opened the passenger door and placed Nanxu on the seat.

Lu Zhiyan then walked around the front of the car and opened the driver's side door.

"You just blatantly lifted me down in front of so many people. Won't people at the company gossip?"

Lu Zhiyan started the car. "People can say whatever they want, whether they say it or not is none of my business."

Nan Xu raised an eyebrow and pursed her lips helplessly.

Since Lu Zhiyan had already said that, she had nothing more to say.

Anyway, none of them knew him, so the only one being gossiped about was Lu Zhiyan.

On the other side, Shu Youli stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her apartment, staring blankly at the distant scenery, her eyes filled with loneliness and unbearable longing.

He hadn't seen Nanxu for a long time.

Ever since Nan Xu rejected him last time, he wanted to meet with her, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

He considered asking Ling Shu or Yue Heng to help him arrange a meeting with Nan Xu.

But what happens after you manage to meet them? What else can they talk about?

They can no longer chat as freely as they used to.

Saying the wrong thing can lead to different outcomes for them.

Shu Youli rubbed her hair in frustration.

If you can’t get it, destroy it!

The sudden thought made Shu Youli's body tremble.

He was shocked by his own thought. How could he have such an idea?

Shu Youli picked up the wine from the coffee table, filled his glass, and gulped it down.

Shu Youli's eyes were red; the person he had liked for so many years was with someone else. He felt somewhat sad.

He only had one thought in his mind: if he couldn't have it, he would destroy it.

Shu Youli shook his head in frustration, trying to shake the wicked thought out of his mind.

But the more he thought about it, the more this sentence lingered in his mind.

Shu Youli smashed the wine glass on the ground, and it shattered into pieces instantly. Shu Youli stepped forward, picked up the shards of glass, and fiercely plunged them into his palm.

Blood instantly gushed from his palm, dripping from the shards of the wine glass onto the floor.

The stinging pain in his hand brought Shu Youli back to his senses. He forced a smile and comforted himself, "It's gone, it's all gone now."

Shu Youli collapsed weakly onto the floor.

As soon as Lu Zhiyan stopped the car, Nan Xu opened the door and got out.

Just as she put one foot down, Nan Xu suddenly remembered that she had returned in Lu Zhiyan's car.

The things she bought today are all in her car, which is currently parked in the parking space in front of the Lu Group building.

“My car is still downstairs at your company,” Nan Xu said, looking at Lu Zhiyan.

"I'll have Uncle Ji drive it back for you tomorrow." Lu Zhiyan opened the car door and got out.

"Oh." Nan Xu got off the bus.

Back in the villa's living room, Lu Zhiyan was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Nan Xu took her clothes to the bathroom, where she got all sweaty, as there was no shower in the lounge.

Afterwards, Lu Zhiyan used a wet wipe to clean her body.

Although it was already autumn and the weather was getting cooler, and Lu Zhiyan had helped her wipe herself down, she still felt a sticky sensation on her body.

Nan Xu had just finished showering and drying her hair when she came down the stairs, just as Lu Zhiyan brought the food to the table.

The dishes were still mainly light and simple, almost exactly the same as the first time I made them, except for one more dish: steamed sea bass.

Nan Xu took her seat directly, and Lu Zhiyan brought out the last of the soup and placed it on the table. He then sat down opposite Nan Xu.

Lu Zhiyan placed the plate of shrimp beside him and picked up the disposable gloves next to him to put them on.

Then I put the freshly peeled pieces into Nanxu's dish.

"How long will you be gone with the crew this time?" Lu Zhiyan asked while peeling shrimp.
Nanxu picked up the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and blew on it. "I don't know. I guess it'll take a month or two."

"It seems you'll be gone for a long time." Lu Zhiyan's eyes darkened.

Nan Xu continued drinking her soup and nodded.

"Will you miss me?" Lu Zhiyan asked, staring at Nan Xu's face.

"Yes, I will." Nan Xu didn't hesitate at all and picked up another piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks.

Lu Zhiyan smiled and continued peeling shrimp with great effort.

Eat more, we have things to do tonight. How can we manage without eating enough?

Afterwards, Lu Zhiyan peeled all the shrimp on the plate and placed it in front of Nan Xu.

Nan Xu looked at the plate of peeled shrimp beside her, looked up at Lu Zhiyan and said, "I can't finish it."

Lu Zhiyan took off his gloves, picked up his chopsticks, and took a piece of egg. "It's okay, I'll eat what you left over."

After dinner, Nanxu sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking yogurt and watching variety shows.

Lu Zhiyan then put the used dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher in the kitchen.

Nan Xu was engrossed in reading when her phone rang.

Nan Xu took the phone, glanced at it, and saw it was Lin Zhengyu.

"Hey, what's up?" Nan Xu asked casually.

“Oh, that’s right. Our company has agents, so you don’t need to go to Yaocheng anymore.” Lin Zhengyu sat in his study, flipping through documents.

Nan Xu put down the yogurt and touched her earlobe. She hadn't told Lin Zhengyu about offending Zhang San yet.

She could choose not to go, but Sang Tingwan would have to face Zhang San's storm alone.

After all, she had said she was Sang Tingwan's manager.

Of course, she could also use her connections with the Lin family to appease Zhang San.

But she didn't want to do that. If she had to use the Lin family's connections for even this small matter, their company would be doomed sooner or later.

Besides, she should try to resolve conflicts on her own initiative. She can't always rely on her elders to smooth things over.

It's not too late to use the Lin family's connections when we encounter problems that we can't solve.

Nan Xu insisted, "No, I must go with Ting Wan this time. Next time, I'll have her agent take her."

Seeing that Nan Xu was very insistent, Lin Zhengyu didn't say anything.

She has her own reasons for how she does things.

"Fine, since you insist, I have nothing more to say." With that, he hung up the phone.

Nan Xu casually tossed her phone aside and started watching TV.

Lu Zhiyan untied his apron and placed it on a hook on the kitchen wall, looking through the glass of the kitchen door at Nan Xu's figure on the sofa.

Lu Zhiyan opened the kitchen door and came out.

Standing behind Nanxu, she asked, "Is it pretty?"

Nan Xu smiled and nodded, "It looks good, it looks good."

The television screen showed several men with eight-pack abs being punished by putting on a "wet show" in the swimming pool.

Lu Zhiyan's face darkened. He himself had maintained a habit of exercising for many years, and his body and abdominal muscles were not only aesthetically pleasing.

It is more practical.

Up until now, Nanxu hadn't felt anything was wrong. Until the "wet show" performance ended.

Nan Xu gradually came to her senses, glanced back, and saw what was happening.

Lu Zhiyan's expression darkened slightly, his jawline tightened, and he looked down at Nan Xu. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why aren't you watching anymore?"

Nan Xu quickly lowered her head, got off the sofa, sat on the other side, and whispered, "Aren't we watching?"

Lu Zhiyan pressed his tongue against his cheek; she really wanted to infuriate him.

He strode forward, picked up the remote control from the coffee table, and turned off the TV.

Nan Xu frowned, and said with slight dissatisfaction, "Hey!"

She hasn't seen the exciting part yet.

Without saying a word, Lu Zhiyan stepped forward, hoisted Nan Xu onto his shoulder, and prepared to go upstairs.

Nan Xu struggled, shaking her legs and slapping Lu Zhiyan's back with both hands, saying, "Let me go."

Lu Zhiyan smiled and said, "I advise you to save your breath for now, because you'll have your turn to yell later."

Nanxu recalled the scene in the lounge that afternoon.

She asked Lu Zhiyan to stop for a while, but Lu Zhiyan did the opposite.

Nan Xu subconsciously swallowed.

Looking at the now quiet Nan Xu, Lu Zhiyan said, "That's more like it."

There are many ways for a man to subdue a woman, but the most direct way is to make her submit to him.
