Chapter 218: All Are Love‑Struck Types

"Everything I say is factual," Fu Sijue said with a solemn expression.

"I am also speaking the truth," Luo Zhou retorted, unwilling to back down, clearly ready for another argument.

Lu Xixi tugged Yao Yao aside to watch the commotion, not worried about Fu Sijue at all.

Lu Xiwán, unable to bear it any longer, slapped the table again.

"Are you two ever going to stop?"

Now Lu Xiwán's ears were finally much quieter, and only then could they continue eating this meal.

"Has Fu Sijue been harassing you lately?"

After finishing the meal and stepping outside, Luo Zhou grabbed Lu Xiwán aside and asked anxiously.

Lu Xiwán felt very conflicted.

She didn't know how to answer Luo Zhou's question.

"It's fine, I can handle it myself," Lu Xiwán finally brushed it off.

But whenever Fu Sijue appeared again, Luo Zhou's complexion was no longer as pleasant as before.

Lu Xiwán had told him more than once that she would no longer accept Fu Sijue, so this scene now inevitably meant Fu Sijue was harassing her.

Since Lu Xiwán herself had said that, Luo Zhou didn't feel comfortable asking further and thus let it drop.

The next day, Lu Xiwán received a call from an unknown number early in the morning.

"I went to great lengths—like nine oxen and two tigers—to find Miss Xi's contact. Miss Xi, are you free today?"

Lu Xiwán instantly recognized Yun Ruofeng's voice and, without a second thought, rejected him outright.

"It's a workday today; I still have to go to work."

"President Fu has acquired foreign companies and used this chance to silence overseas media. For Miss Xi, President Fu truly spares no expense."

When Yun Ruofeng said this, his tone was odd, and Lu Xiwán frowned in displeasure.

"What exactly does Chief Yun want to say?"

A shrewd person like him would never do something pointless, yet Lu Xiwán now dared not rashly guess Yun Ruofeng's intention.

"I just want to ask how Miss Xi feels about the conditions I proposed last time. If you agree, the Yun family will do everything to help Haicheng Technology."

Yun Ruofeng still wouldn't give up, insisting on discussing the terms with Lu Xiwán.

His confident demeanor left Lu Xiwán far behind.

"Didn't Chief Yun already know the answer last time? Some things lose meaning after being said twice; if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Then let's discuss another matter. Miss Xi should know we intend to match A Jin with President Fu; I'm curious how you view this?"

Only then did Lu Xiwán suddenly realize.

Yun Ruofeng had said so much, circling around, but all his words were really just for this sentence.

"As an observer, I have no opinion; this is a matter between President Fu and Miss Yun, and how to handle it is their private affair."

Lu Xiwán's tone was extremely formal and cold.

Because of Fu Sijue's favoritism, these people were scrambling headlong, yet they still wanted to make her a target.

Thus, when talking about these matters, Lu Xiwán was left with only impatience.

"Based on my previous understanding, President Fu's feelings toward Miss Xi are quite special."

Yun Ruofeng had already made his point clear, and Lu Xiwán was too lazy to waste time with him.

"Excuse me, what do you mean by 'special'? A special that even the parties themselves don't know? My relationship with President Fu is merely that of a business partner; at most, if you dig deeper, I'm his child's former Psychologist."

Having to explain this to everyone made Lu Xiwán truly weary.

Yun Ruofeng, however, was unconvinced: "Miss Xi doesn't need to explain so much; I just want to talk with you."
