Looking through the peephole, he saw a girl in a take-out outfit standing outside, holding a paper bag in her hand.
He opened the door and asked doubtfully.
"You are?"
"Hello, Miss Lin. Director Lu told me to bring this to you."
The girl in take-out clothes smiled and said politely.
"Director Lu?"
"He's the CEO of 'the Lu's' Group."
"Oh."
Lin Ange was stunned for a moment before she casually received it.
"Miss Lin, please enjoy your meal."
Lin Ange closed the anti-theft door with a paper bag.
He walked towards the dining table and took out the boxes of food from the paper bag.
Ye Zichen's hand, which was holding the phone, went numb as a message flashed.
It was from Lu Yiyao.
Reply to the message she had sent him.
"If it's not bad, drink it all."
The text messages were as domineering and forceful as his own.
"Do you take me as a bucket after drinking it all?"
Lin Ange pouted and whispered.
On the screen of the phone, it was typed out.
"Thank you, Little Uncle."
Thinking of Lu Yiyao's warning, he immediately deleted his uncle and prepared to replace it with 'you'. The word 'uncle' had not been deleted as his fingers slipped and he sent it over.
When Lu Yiyao, who was waiting for a reply, saw this form of address, the haze on his face became even darker.
Ding Mo, who was standing not far away, felt his entire body turn cold.
He unconsciously looked at his own boss. What's going on?
Who made him unhappy?
Lu Yiyao's long and narrow eyes were covered by dark clouds, and his cold lips drew a cold arc.
"This is my last time. I won't let you off so easily next time."
Lin Ange, who was sitting on the sofa, blushed when she saw Lu Yiyao's "warning".
The 'kiss' from a few hours ago was still fresh and cold between his lips.
She had wanted to ask what was going on with the takeout.
He curled his lips, sat down at the dining table and began to eat slowly.
On the other side, Lu Yiyao held his phone on his knees, walking around and waiting for her reply.
For some reason, ever since Lin Ange had come back, there had always been a feeling of boredom in his heart, as if several hours had passed with every passing second.
But with her, he felt time passed too quickly.
Lu Yiyao didn't get a reply from Lin Ange for a long time. He couldn't help but frown as he picked up his phone and prepared to call her. After giving it some thought, he put the phone back into his pocket, stood up and instructed Ding Mo.
"To the hospital."
"Yes, CEO."
Ding Mo nodded and quickly opened the door to the CEO's office.
After first aid, Xu Jianan's condition was temporarily stabilized.
Lu Yiyao ordered that no medical staff should reveal her illness to her. Therefore, Xu Jianan still didn't know how serious her condition was.
He just thought Lu Yiyao cared about her and told her to rest.
But living in a hospital is better than living at home.
Seeing Lu Yiyao push open the door and come in, Ye Zichen said to him after greeting him.
"Brother Yiyao, can I go home now?"
"Rest for a few more days."
Lu Yiyao sat down beside the bed with a calm expression.
"But …"
"I've already helped you push away all your recent work."
Lu Yiyao looked at her and replied without any hesitation.
Xu Jianan pursed her somewhat pale lips, a thin layer of mist surging in her eyes.
He looked at Lu Yiyao's small face with a wronged expression.
"Yiyao, I don't have any other requests. I only request that you treat Jianan well and protect her well for the rest of her life."
Xu Jiamu's dying words still echoed in Lu Yiyao's ears. His deep eyes narrowed as he reached out to tuck her in.
"Jianan, just take it as a long vacation."
"Brother Yiyao, we've already rested for two days, it's about time …"
Xu Jianan's voice was very soft and there was a hint of hope in her eyes.
"Jianan, be good."
Lu Yiyao's face darkened, while a trace of displeasure appeared on his face.
He understood Xu Jianan's feelings. After the incident with Lin Ran, her status and value had skyrocketed, so she should have made use of this additional announcement. However, it was clear that her heart could no longer bear the heavy work.
She had to calm down and rest.
Seeing that Lu Yiyao's expression changed, Xu Jianan could not help but feel a little afraid. She did not dare to refute anymore, but in her heart, she had a faint suspicion of her illness.
Was there something wrong with his body?
At this time, it was already time for dinner. Lu Yiyao instructed Ding Mo to go to the restaurant and order a meal to accompany Xu Jianan for dinner.
In Jasmine's eyes, there was joy on her brows and her face was filled with envy and pride. After finding an opportunity, he whispered to Xu Jianan.
"Sister Jianan, Director Lu is really nice to you."
Xu Jianan pursed her lips and smiled.
This time, Lu Yiyao ate very little and barely touched his chopsticks. Xu Jianan might not have much appetite, but when she thought about eating an extra mouthful, he would stay here for an extra minute.
She ate very slowly, nibbling on it in a very cultured manner.
Lu Yiyao didn't rush her. He sat opposite her quietly and looked at his phone from time to time.
A woman's innate sensitivity made her feel as if he was waiting for someone to call him.
His wife?
This woman, whom she had never heard of and had never seen before, gave her a bad taste.
In the three years he had been by his side, he had never seen a second woman besides himself.
Who was this woman?
Or was this just an excuse to reject him?
"If you can't eat, then don't."
Lu Yiyao said lightly as he saw that she was obviously holding on.
"I had a good appetite today and the dishes were very suitable, so I ate a little more."
Xu Jianan explained with a smile.
"Yes."
Lu Yiyao did not expose her. He pursed his lips and answered.
"Brother Yiyao, can you accompany me for a walk?" "After staying in my room for the whole day, I feel a little stuffy …"
Xu Jianan really wanted him to accompany her more, so she summoned up her courage and opened her mouth.
