The Substitute Bride
"Don't get me wrong, I went to see her because something happened to her, nothing else." Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect Lu Qichen to explain himself, and he smiled awkwardly, "You don't need to explain to me, our relationship is just a business one. I don't care what you do, as long as you don't go too far and let the reporters find out, that would be bad." "Mhm." Ye Zhiqiu's expression was very serious, and a inexplicable sense of annoyance sprang up in his heart, suddenly making him lose his appetite. He threw down the chopsticks in his hand, "I'm not eating anymore." Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Lu Qichen was in a bad mood because of Bai Rongrong's matter. He silently cleared the dishes and then went upstairs. Because the servants were not around, Ye Zhiqiu got up particularly early the next morning. Seeing eggs and flour in the kitchen, he skillfully kneaded the dough and had just finished making the pancakes when Lu Qichen got up, looking energetic. The aroma of pancakes filled the house, and he glanced in the direction of the kitchen, his gaze suddenly softening. Because of this woman, the house suddenly had the scent of home. "Come and have breakfast," Ye Zhiqiu called out. The freshly ground soy milk in the morning, paired with the pancakes, made Lu Qichen eat a lot. He felt that his taste buds were being spoiled by this little woman. "That..." After breakfast, Lu Qichen was ready to go to work, and Ye Zhiqiu called out to him timidly, "I'll just take the subway to work by myself today, you don't need to send me specially." "Did I say I was going to send you?"
Lu Qichen glanced at Ye Zhiqiu. He, the great CEO Lu, personally picked her up and dropped her off. Other women would have jumped at the chance, but this woman didn't appreciate it at all. Well then, why should he stick his warm face to someone else's cold butt? Lu Qichen left without looking back, leaving Ye Zhiqiu standing there stunned. Did she say something wrong? Why did it seem like the president was unhappy? Lu Qichen kept a straight face all the way, making everyone in the office uneasy. Assistant Fan lingered at the office door for a long time, not daring to raise his hand to knock. 'What are you doing wandering around? Spit it out if you've got something to say!' Lu Qichen's office door was frosted glass, and although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely make out a figure. Assistant Fan walking back and forth at the door made him even more irritable. 'President...' Assistant Fan stood opposite Lu Qichen, looking worried. It was over, the president was in a terrible mood today, and to top it off, such a distressing incident had occurred. He didn't know whether to speak or remain silent. 'What exactly is the matter?' Lu Qichen looked at Assistant Fan's constipated expression and cursed discontentedly. 'Have... have you seen today's Yangcheng Morning Post?' Assistant Fan tentatively probed. The morning post? He had been too busy arguing with that woman this morning to have time to read any morning post. 'What exactly is the matter?' Lu Qichen frowned. Assistant Fan took a deep breath, deciding to take the plunge. He would have to know sooner or later, 'President, the headline on the front page this morning is about you.'
Assistant Fan respectfully presented today's morning paper, with a headline on the front page that was hard to miss: 'President Xiangyu Abandons Bride on Honeymoon, Secretly Meets Actress Bai Rongrong at Night.' He couldn't be bothered to read the content, but the photo of him and Bai Rongrong entering the hotel room together was etched in his memory. 'Mr. President, this incident is causing quite a stir now, if Chairman Lu finds out...' Assistant Fan couldn't help but shiver, his greatest President Lu was like a little lamb in front of Chairman Lu. 'Go and find out who has the audacity to frame me like this, I want him to disappear from this circle forever,' Lu Qichen said angrily, 'Also, keep this matter from the old man for now.' 'Understood.' Assistant Fan noted everything down, 'Then... what do you think we should do about this? Should we hold a press conference to explain?' 'No need.' Lu Qichen shook his head slightly, it just so happened that Xiangyu had a new product launching soon, so he might as well use this as free advertising. 'Anything else?' Seeing that Assistant Fan was still standing there, Lu Qichen raised an eyebrow slightly. 'Mr. President, Autumn from Yunman called, saying that the proposal has been revised and asking when we would be available...' 'Now!' Lu Qichen interrupted Assistant Fan's words. 'Wha... What?'
He prided himself on understanding Lu Qichen well after years by his side, but he suddenly realized that he didn't understand President Lu's preferences at all. For instance, right now, he had no idea why his great president would lose control the moment he encountered that small company. Or was it... because of the president's wife? Despite his confusion, having been with Lu Qichen for so long, Assistant Fan efficiently arranged a car and followed Lu Qichen to Yunman. Ye Zhiqiu had revised all the parts she thought inappropriate according to Lu Qichen's requirements, and even Assistant Fan felt that the plan had been greatly improved. But for some reason, Lu Qichen was not satisfied. 'What kind of bullshit plan is this? Do it over!' Lu Qichen was annoyed just thinking about the woman's indifferent attitude and couldn't help but want to make things difficult for her. 'Pres... President?' Assistant Fan frowned, realizing that the president was seeking private revenge. Lu Qichen glanced coldly at Assistant Fan, who immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head. 'President Lu, I've been saying that the format of this press conference isn't grand enough, let's switch to a reception instead...' Zhou Yang was overjoyed. 'President Lu.' She had worked so hard on this plan, and he had been satisfied with it. Why did it seem worse after she revised it according to his requests? She was a bit angry, 'What exactly is wrong with this plan? Just tell me.' 'Everything is wrong.'
Lu Qichen said coldly, his words making Ye Zhiqiu's face turn red with anger. She gripped the laser pointer in her hand tightly, realizing that if she couldn't see that Lu Qichen was deliberately retaliating against her, she would truly be a fool. However, she didn't understand where she had offended this young master. Ye Zhiqiu's little face turned pale. He thought Ye Zhiqiu would definitely come to him privately to beg for mercy, but the woman in front of him lifted her stubborn little face, meeting his gaze fearlessly, 'Fine, I'll go rewrite it right now.' At this, Lu Qichen didn't know what to do. Lu Qichen's action made Pan Qin very happy. She had always disliked Ye Zhiqiu, and now she finally found an opportunity to mock her. After leaving the meeting room, Ye Zhiqiu heard Pan Qin's sarcastic remarks outside, 'Some people really have no shame. If I were her, I wouldn't even dare to stay here any longer. It would be better to pack up and get lost.' Ye Zhiqiu didn't mind much, but Lu Qichen, who followed her out of the meeting room, frowned tightly upon hearing this.
