Xiao Yaojing quickly regained her focus and loosened her grip on Lu Sichen’s hand.
“I was wondering why you wanted to treat me. I am alright, you don’t need to apologize. Everything I did was for Sichen, not for you,” Xiao Yaojing said with a broad smile.
“I must treat you since Sichen has caused you so much trouble,” Lu Qichuan said while smiling graciously.
“You helped me, didn’t you? I didn’t want to continue staying in that bank anyways. If there is nothing else, I’ve got to go. Goodbye, Sichen.” Xiao Yaojing waved her hand.
“Yaojing…” Ye Yuwei wanted to say something but Gu Juexi quickly stopped her and held her hand.
“Aunt Xiao, you promised to have dinner with me.” Lu Sichen knitted her brows. If there had to be a woman by her father’s side, she would rather that woman be Xiao Yaojing. At least Xiao Yaojing treated her right.
Xiao Yaojing knelt down and stroked Sichen’s cheek. “I must leave now, I have something urgent to do. I will pick you up from school and take you out for some cake next time. Is that alright?”
Lu Sichen pouted and didn’t reply.
Lu Qichuan was indifferent as he knew exactly what he was doing. Lu Qichuan had not sorted out the relationship with Lu Sichen’s mother. Moreover, there was no chemistry between the two of them. Lu Qichuan was different from Gu Juexi; he would not hold her back from venturing into a new relationship.
Gu Juexi squinted at Lu Qichan as if he could sense his contempt but Lu Qichuan was still smiling graciously.
Every time Ye Yuwei wanted to say something, Gu Juexi would tighten his grip on her hand.
Xiao Yaojing turned to leave after comforting Lu Sichen. Only after Xiao Yaojing left did Gu Juexi let go of Ye Yuwei’s hand.
“Are you crazy?” Ye Yuwei rushed out.
“Ye Yuwei, are you an idiot? Do you think you are the person she needs the most? Can’t you give this chance to Wen Tao instead?” Gu Juexi stopped Ye Yuwei again.
Even though Gu Juexi’s words were not pleasant to hear, he was actually right.
“Mr. Gu, you are quite good at dealing with other people’s private affairs.” Ye Yuwei’s eyes roved over Gu Juexi as if she were sizing up an alien.
“Ye Yuwei, stop looking at me like that.” Gu Juexi did not like the way Ye Yuwei’s eyes roved over him.
Seeing this, Lu Qichuan stood up with Lu Sichen in his hands. The way Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi showed affection in public was an eyesore to him.
Gu Juexi was right. As soon as Xiao Yaojing left, she called PA Wen angrily.
“Wen Tao, you are such a fool! Why did you ask me to try again? Lu Qichuan rejected me in front of others. Are you happy to see my heart being ripped apart again?” Xiao Yaojing snarled as she walked down the street.
PA Wen was still working when he answered the phone call. Hearing Xiao Yaojing’s voice, he knew that something was wrong.
