Chapter 1098: Tell That Person Not to Be Too Anxious

By the time she had nearly finished preparing everything, she remembered she hadn't called Fu Yan Cheng to tell him about the business trip.

The person she had just thought of was now enthusiastically cleaning the house in the family compound; although the room had already been cleaned, thinking that his wife would be coming over the weekend, he couldn't control himself and just wanted his wife to find not a single flaw.

Looking at the house he had tidied until it was spotless, Fu Yan Cheng's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

He had already decided that once Liu Chuxue arrived, he would discuss with her inviting his comrades to a meal next week to formally introduce her to everyone, so that those women eyeing him wouldn't keep showing up to seek attention; he was a married man now and wouldn't get entangled in trouble.

In a small tavern, several people were drinking with a plate of peanuts and a plate of pig head meat: "How is it? Have the arrangements been made?"

"Rest assured, the person has been arranged; these next few days, just have him find an opportunity."

"Tell that person not to be too anxious, lest he slip up and ruin everything; we can't let that old fellow surnamed Xiao sense anything amiss."

"Rest assured, that person isn't doing this for the first time."

"Come, come, let's have a drink; we just wait for the result."

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about that; let's all have a drink together."

Just then, a man sitting diagonally opposite them heard their entire conversation; he glanced at those few people without showing any emotion, raised his own cup, and then leisurely said to his companion: "It's getting late; after we finish the wine in our cups, let's call it a day."

His companion had the same intention; after raising his wine cup and clinking it against his, he tilted his head back and the wine in the cup went down his throat: "Alright, then let's meet another day."

The next day, not long after Liu Chuxue arrived at the office, she was summoned by someone from the factory office and was busy until noon before finally finishing.

When she returned to the office to get her lunch box and went to the cafeteria with Sister Hong, she happened to run into Du Juan: "Cousin, I heard you are going on a business trip to Guangdong Province?"

Seeing that her lunch box was full of vegetarian dishes, Liu Chuxue divided half of the braised pork she had just served and gave it to her: "Yes, we leave tomorrow."

Du Juan sat down with them: "Cousin, then when will you return?"

Liu Chuxue replied while eating: "That's hard to say; the earliest would be the end of the month."

Hearing this, Du Juan said: "My aunt's due date is exactly at the end of the month; what should I do?"

Sister Hong, sitting nearby, heard this and looked up, saying: "Your aunt is giving birth; even if you were there, you couldn't take her place; at most you could just run around helping out. Could it be that without her, others can't do it?"

Du Juan realized her mistake at this point and hurriedly waved her hands, saying: "I didn't mean that; I, I was just a bit worried, so I said the wrong thing."

Liu Chuxue naturally understood her meaning: "If you are worried, just go over there more often these next few days when you have time; as for whether you can rush back before she gives birth, that depends on fate."

"After all, it's possible to be a few days early or a few days late."

Ultimately, she was soft-hearted; before parting ways after the meal, she said: "Du Juan, come to our department in a while; I have something for you."

Du Juan handed her lunch box directly to a colleague from logistics: "I'll go with you right now."

Liu Chuxue did not refuse: "That works."

On the way, thinking of what Sister Jiang had said earlier, she turned to look at her cousin: "Du Juan, have you met Sister Jiang's nephew?"

Hearing her cousin mention this, Du Juan's face turned red with shame, looking very embarrassed: "I, I have met him once."
