The expressions of the two who were gossiping just now changed instantly, and they said tremblingly, "Hello, general manager!"
The tall and slender figure is mixed with a cold aura, the facial features as handsome as ice sculptures are light, and the dark obsidian-like eyes are cold.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at the three people in the pantry, "Are you busy?"
The fluttering words made the two of them tremble. Why did they feel like they were speaking to the two of them
The cold eyes made them feel chills in their hearts, and they hurriedly returned to their workstations.
Lu Zhiyao didn't know how much he had heard, but it was impossible for him not to know the company's rumors in the past few days.
Looking at the person in front of him with red eyes, wet eyes, and tears on his face, he unconsciously frowned, "Why are you crying?"
Bai Xun touched his cheek, and realized that he was crying with anger.
She gritted her teeth and retorted, "I didn't..."
The words he just said were all choked, Bai Xun snorted, lowered his head and didn't want to let Lu Zhiyao see him, he turned sideways and wanted to leave without saying a word.
As if hearing the other party sigh silently, he stretched out his hand to hold her, and said lightly, "Come to my office."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left first, and Bai Xun paused. It took a long while to keep up with each other's footsteps, and followed behind with drooping shoulders.
Lu Zhiyao sat behind the desk, with his hands crossed against his chin, his whole body was full of pressure when he didn't speak.
But Bai Xun was depressed at this time, in a trance, and was not hyperactive at all. She seemed to be immersed in the conversation between the two just now.
"What are you thinking?" Lu Zhiyao had to knock on the table to speak first, otherwise this person would be able to self-isolate here for a day.
Bai Xun came back to his senses, and his expression was much calmer, but when he looked at Lu Zhijiao, his expression was instantly filled with grievances, but he said stubbornly: "I just don't understand, I obviously didn't do those things, why do they want to do those things? Saying such slander?"
Sure enough, such a simple person...
Lu Zhiyao leaned back, stretched his broad back and sat more relaxed.
He said casually, "You don't have to care what they say."
"However, they said that I was with..." She said halfway through her mouth, looked at the person with a faint expression in front of her, and swallowed again, "They said that I got this opportunity because of my relationship."
"It's all fake, isn't it?" Of course Lu Zhiyao knew that what she wanted to say was about herself, and she paused before saying, "Only the weak need to use lies to attack others and cover up their jealousy. The better you are, the more you will receive. There will be more attacks. But when you are strong enough, no one will dare to slander you at will."
"So what you have to do is to use your strength to shut up those people."
That's what he did.
As an illegitimate child, when he didn't return to the Lu family, he was scolded as a wild breed. Even if he came back, most of those people looked down on him.
But now, he has a place in the Lu family by virtue of his own ability, who else dares to mock his life experience at will
His cold and textured voice was deep and gorgeous, and even when he said such inspiring words, there was not much emotion in it.
"So it is." Bai Xunshi suddenly realized, "Yes, why should I care about the lies told by irrelevant people? Anyway, no matter what they say, it will not affect my design."
Bai Xun turned to Lu Zhiyao, his eyes filled with admiration, "Mr. Lu, you are right, I will come up with better design works, so that they have nothing to say."
Looking in front of him regaining his vitality again, his whole body seemed to be glowing with fighting spirit, Lu Zhiyao's indifferent expression was a little more admirable.
Since Bai Xun went in, everyone working outside has been secretly paying attention to Lu Zhizhi's office from the corner of their eyes, only to see that Bai Xun was still depressed when he went in, and when he came out again, he looked high-spirited.
Thinking with my toes, I knew that it must be related to General Manager Lu Zhiyao, but looking at the trembling appearance of the two people in the tea room just now, I felt that the rumors were no longer rumors, but the truth.
But Mr. Lu defended her so clearly, but everyone dared not to be embarrassed. Who knows if the other party will become the general manager's wife one day
Bai Xunwei was inspired by Lu Zhiyao's words, so he worked overtime and drew the whole theme of this time.
Although Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, but 50% of his good feelings could not deceive anyone, he was obviously very satisfied with her.
Although Bai Xun's character is getting colder and colder and he is alone in the company, in Lu Yaoyao's view, this is just a way for the other party to protect himself.
…
The spring show is getting closer and closer, and Bai Xun still has the last few sets of design drawings left to be finalized, but Lu Zhizhi didn't come to work today.
She thought of how the other party was coughing slightly when they worked overtime together last night, so she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called.
The phone was picked up after a while, and the voice was not as deep and graceful as before, but rather dull and hoarse.
Bai Xun hesitated for what he was about to say, as if he was a little worried, "Mr. Lu, are you sick? Your voice doesn't sound very good..."
After a while, there was a muffled cough, and then a hoarse voice with a cold texture came, "It's nothing, just a little cold, what's the matter?"
Small cold
The cold that can make Lu Yaoyao, who has always worked hard, miss work can't be a common cold!
Bai Xun's heart was excited for this chance to win his favor, but his face seemed to be relieved, "Well, because the spring show is about to start, but there are still the last few design drawings that have not been finalized, I think Just to confirm with you... Then I'll talk about it when you get back to work."
As soon as she finished speaking, she paused for a while, and suddenly said an address, and then said, "Come to this place and bring the blueprint."
"Ah? Oh, okay, but are you alright?" Bai Xun responded and asked with hindsight.
"Isn't it too late? Don't linger." The hoarse and low voice came from the receiver, as if it was carrying an electric current, it made people's heart soften.
Bai Xun obeyed obediently, hung up the phone, took the design draft and went straight to the address Lu Zhiyao said.
…
This is a high-end villa area. Bai Xun found the place where Lu Zhiyao lived. The single-family villa also had its own small garden. The rockery and flowing water inside were tall, but most of the plants seemed to have withered away because no one took care of them.
With a deserted appearance, it seems that this is also a CEO who has a lot of money and love and only has a material life.
The little angel who was ready to send warmth went to the door and rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door was opened.
The man wearing a light-colored thin shirt is no longer meticulous and serious in the office. His broad shoulders support smooth lines, and he does not have the tight and loose neckline of a shirt that leaks out his sexy collarbone.
Because of his illness, his obsidian-like eyes no longer had the indifferent and inhuman color of the past, and the black hair that was combed back without hair oil made him look a little softer.
Bai Xun looked at the address hesitantly as if he didn't dare to recognize it, and then looked at the casual handsome man in front of him before he said hesitantly, "Lu, President Lu?"
Lu Zhiyao's head was still a little dizzy, he half-supported at the door, glanced at the foolish person in front of him, and replied coldly, "Okay, come in."
"Oh." Bai Xun nodded obediently.
It's really been a long time under the aura of the other party's strong pressure on weekdays, so suddenly there is no sense of oppression, and I feel that the other party looks a bit cute, so Bai Xun can't help but carefully follow the other party into the room.
Bai Xun sat on the edge of the sofa and took time to look around. Lu Zhiyao's room was the same as his, with a simple and cool color, showing an unpopular desert.
Lu Zhiyao didn't say much. He wasn't in good spirits. He sat on the sofa and rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said lightly, "Where's the design?"
"Oh." Bai Xunming understood, and hurriedly took out something and handed it over.
It's just that the fingertips touch the other's palm, which is terrifyingly hot.
"Mr. Lu, do you have a fever?" Bai Xun frowned.
Lu Zhiyao gave a nonchalant "um" sound, but the movement in his hand did not stop. He took the sketch and flipped through it.
But Bai Xun looked tangled and a little dissatisfied, "That's not good, you need injections and medicines when you're sick, not to mention you still have a fever. I shouldn't have come, you go to the hospital to see."
Bai Xun's nervous appearance made Lu Zhiyao look at her a few more times, his expression remained the same, but his hoarse voice softened, "There is no need to go to the hospital, I'm used to it, I'll be fine in two days."
Hearing this, Bai Xun disagreed, "Even if you don't go to the hospital, you should take some medicine and rest well, but you have a fever!"
"I said it's fine." Lu Zhiyao waved his hand and rubbed his dizzy forehead.
Bai Xun was also a little angry when he saw him like this, and reached out to take the sketch in his hand, "It's my fault, I shouldn't come to disturb you. Don't look at it anymore, go and rest, I'll take these back and wait for you to come back. Again… "
She was pulling too hard, and Lu Zhiyao himself was exhausted due to a fever, and being pulled like this, he fell directly from the sofa.
"Mr. Lu!"
Bai Xun was startled, and rushed over to see that the other party seemed to have fallen asleep.
She reached out and stroked his forehead, burning hot.
She really couldn't help Lu Zhiyao, who was about 1.8 meters tall, to the bedroom upstairs. She could only help him to lie down on the sofa. She hurriedly found a towel soaked, wrapped it in crushed ice and put it on his forehead. Cool down.
"Well… "
"Mr. Lu, are you feeling better?"
Her words of concern did not get a response, but the cold touch made Lu Zhiyao's frown widened, and Bai Xun was relieved.
She stayed on the side and changed the towel to cool Lu Zhiyao. After a while, she touched her forehead to make it less hot.
Lu Zhiyao fell into a deep sleep, Bai Xun stood up, covered him with a blanket, and muttered, "Don't catch a cold again."
She looked at the time, it was almost noon, and Lu Zhiyao had definitely not eaten for a day after being ill.
Bai Xun went to the kitchen for a while, and the refrigerator was empty, enough to see how simple this guy's life was on weekdays.
She searched for a long time and only found 100 meters. People who are simply ill should not eat too greasy, and simply boil a white porridge.
…
Lu Zhiyao on the sofa gradually woke up, the high fever subsided, and his originally confused eyes became clear.
He took the towel off his forehead and sat up. The sound in the kitchen caught his attention and walked over slowly.
The girl with a high ponytail showed a smooth forehead and delicate facial features. Her whole person looked peaceful and warm, and the sun shone on the snow-white skin through the windowsill, as if it would glow.
The other party was seriously stirring the small pot with a spoon, and the fragrance of white rice porridge hit Lu Zhiyao's cold heart.
He leaned against the door of the kitchen with his arms around his chest, just quietly watching the busy people inside.
It turned out that he didn't want much. It wasn't the Lu family's rights that he won through intrigue. He just imagined that someone could cook porridge for him when he was sick like this.
Bai Xun put the porridge up and turned around to find that Lu Zhiyao was leaning against the kitchen door, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
"Mr. Lu? Are you awake? Has the fever subsided?" She looked at the person in front of her in surprise, walked over and raised her hand to test the temperature on his forehead.
Bai Xun looked at him and smiled, "It's not so hot anymore, it just so happens that you wake up now and can drink porridge and then go to sleep... um..."
She just checked his body temperature, but didn't notice that his eyes were darker than usual, and there were complicated emotions surging in them.
Bai Xun didn't react until he was stabilized by the warm lips.
She widened her eyes and raised her hand to push the person away, but Lu Zhiyao lightly grabbed her hands and hugged the person even tighter. He reversed his body and pressed the person against the wall, and the position of no retreat forced her to bear the other's deep kiss.
"no, do not want… "
Occasionally, the words leaked from the entanglement of lips and teeth, with a crying voice, can even trigger the inferiority in the man's body that wants to bully her.
Because of the fever, Lu Zhiyao's lips had a fiery temperature, but his extremely calm personality made every lick and every suck with cold restraint.
Not intense but profound, not rude but irresistible.
A kiss mixed with fiery but slow, methodical.
He didn't let her go until Bai Xun could barely breathe.
Bai Xun's body was weak, her breathing was short of breath, and her heart was pounding. At this time, relying on Lu Zhiyao to support between the walls could barely lean on each other.
Lu Zhiyao's body was warmer than ordinary people through the thin shirt, and the other party's repressed and heavy breathing sounded in his ears, "Bai Xiaoxun, I think you have successfully stepped into my heart."
This is clearly the second grade! But Lu Zhiyao said it coldly and seriously. When he slowly uttered these words in a hoarse metallic voice, he had a charm that made people unable to restrain their heartbeats, and anyone could blush with shame.
It's just that Bai Xun removed his slightly red cheeks due to lack of oxygen, and there was no shyness anymore, and the expression in his eyes was sad and resentful.
She was almost on the verge of crying, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled, "Bastard!"
Looking at the 75% favorable impression on the top of Lu Zhizhi's head, Bai Xun smiled inside and cried on the surface - are we the ones who will admit it when we are happy? Innocent!
