Chapter 188

Han Yufei glanced at Su Yun Jiao and said, "I know Jingqing dotes on you, but you need to tell whether it's an elder's affection for a junior or the liking between a man and a woman. Miss Su, you're still too young; you probably haven't dated yet. For us adults, a good relationship is one that doesn't affect our emotions and work."

Han Yufei's words weren't completely explicit, but the meaning was already clear—Su Yun Jiao's presence had already made Lu Jingqing inattentive to work, which is a very bad start for a relationship.

Su Yun Jiao's brows furrowed.

She wasn't just some high school senior girl, and she also clearly understood the meaning behind Han Yufei's words.

Han Yufei was clearly trying to hint that Lu Jingqing's affection for her was merely because she was young, treating her like a sister, not that he truly wanted to make her his wife.

Moreover, her presence had already affected Lu Jingqing's work.

However, Su Yun Jiao had no intention of confronting Han Yufei head-on; she feigned confusion and asked, "What do you mean by that, Miss Han? I don't understand."

To Han Yufei, Su Yun Jiao's act of playing dumb looked simply foolish; Han Yufei felt embarrassed to spell it out clearly, so she could only say, "Go think about it yourself."

After Han Yufei left, Su Yun Jiao then returned to the lounge.

Indeed, at six o'clock, Lu Jingqing ended the meeting on time and returned to the lounge.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao looking somewhat displeased in the lounge, Lu Jingqing asked, "Did someone upset you?"

"Brother Jingqing, I heard you used to work overtime during meetings before; why aren't you working overtime now?"

Lu Jingqing used to be notorious as a workaholic; although he treated employees well, working overtime was also common.

Su Yun Jiao still remembered that when she first went to Jingyuan, Lu Jingqing often came home only at eight or nine o'clock.

But now Lu Jingqing basically goes home as soon as he reaches the place to eat.

As Han Yufei said, Lu Jingqing is indeed somewhat different from before when faced with Su Yun Jiao's inquiry.

Lu Jingqing said, "Did someone tell you something?"

Seeing Lu Jingqing ask that, Su Yun Jiao deliberately put on a hurt tone and said, "Just now Elder Sister Han spoke to me, saying that Brother Jingqing you weren't like this before, saying it's because of my appearance that you've stopped working properly, and that a good relationship should be one of non-interference—do you think this counts as me dragging you down?"

Upon hearing that these words were all told to Su Yun Jiao by Han Yufei, Lu Jingqing's brows furrowed.

He had never allowed Han Yufei to speak like that in front of Su Yun Jiao, let alone considering Han Yufei is merely a subordinate.

"Get up."

Lu Jingqing directly pulled Su Yun Jiao up from the sofa.

Lu Jingqing took Su Yun Jiao's hand and walked outside.

Although Lu Jingqing would occasionally hold his hand in private, this time it was at the company, practically without avoiding people.

When the secretariat staff saw this scene, they all covered their mouths.

They never expected that Boss Lu would dote on Su Yun Jiao so much even at the company.

Han Yufei walked out of the meeting room and saw Lu Jingqing taking Su Yun Jiao's hand walking up to her; although Han Yufei was unhappy, she still forced a smile and said, "Jingqing? What's wrong?"

"From now on, when you're at the company, call me Boss Lu; also, don't let me hear you saying strange things in front of my fiancée again, or else you'll be sent back overseas."

Han Yufei's smile stiffened; she hadn't expected that such a young girl as Su Yun Jiao would actually tattle.

It turned out that Su Yun Jiao had been acting clueless in front of her just moments ago.

Actually, Su Yun Jiao understood better than anyone.

Han Yufei forced a smile and said, "Jingqing, I just don't want any external factors to delay your work; you usually regard work as more important than anyone, and now the company is in an upswing, you…"

"There can be many companies; losing this one wouldn't matter much, but my fiancée is only Jiao Jiao—I absolutely won't allow anyone to spout nonsense in front of her."

Lu Jingqing essentially defended her outright.

Han Yufei had never seen Lu Jingqing treat a woman this well; even when she had previously seen Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing being intimate, she could convince herself that Lu Jingqing was merely treating Su Yun Jiao as a child.

Or she could tell herself that Lu Jingqing was only after the Su family's property.

But now, for Su Yun Jiao's sake at the company, Lu Jingqing doesn't even give Han Yufei any face, making her realize just how important Su Yun Jiao is to Lu Jingqing—Lu Jingqing doesn't see Su Yun Jiao as a child, nor as a tool to exploit, but as his fiancée.

Lu Jingqing actually regarded Su Yun Jiao as his fiancée.

Han Yufei closed her eyes, composed her emotions, and then said, "I understand; from now on, this will never happen again."

"That's best."

After saying that, Lu Jingqing took Su Yun Jiao's hand and left the company.

Secretary Li followed closely behind.

As a former colleague, Secretary Li had already said everything she could to warn Han Yufei.

It's a pity that Han Yufei thought her position was too important.

Actually, at Boss Lu's, Han Yufei is merely an old employee.

After Lu Jingqing left, Han Yufei couldn't help clenching her fists; she could almost feel the people around her mocking her, as if she had become a joke.

Back when she was overseas, no one dared to look at her like that.

Han Yufei turned and left.

The surrounding employees whispered among themselves.

"I thought the relationship between Manager Han and Boss Lu was close, but now it seems not so."

"Isn't that right? I saw it as if Manager Han was fawning over Boss Lu."

"Too bad our Boss Lu only likes Miss Su; he wouldn't take her seriously."

……

Han Yufei realized the surrounding employees were looking at her as a joke; at that moment, her heart felt nothing but anger.

No matter how you say it, she's an old overseas employee; logically and emotionally, Lu Jingqing shouldn't have denied her face like that.

Here, Su Yun Jiao had already followed Lu Jingqing out of the company.

As they got into the car, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help saying, "You just embarrassed Sister Han in front of all the staff—aren't you afraid she'll quit?"

"An employee should know their place and not do outrageous things; she should have realized that doing so would anger me, anger the boss, which is the biggest taboo for an employee."
