Chapter 305: 301. Find Sicheng for me immediately!

Zhang Ran tidied up a bit on his end and then rushed back to Shanghai with He Yong.

At the same time.

Shanghai, Biaoxue Game Company.

Sicheng did not go home today either; there were many things to do now, the entire company was working overtime, and he was no exception.

Just as Sicheng was busy with his head down, he heard a knock at the door. Without even raising his head, Sicheng said, "Come in."

However, Sicheng waited for a while and found that no one spoke. He looked up, feeling somewhat surprised, and saw Lu Xin looking at him with a beaming smile; her smile was very gentle and also very charming!

Sicheng was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked, "Why are you here?"

"You busy person are so busy you don't even have time to eat, so I came over to bring you some food," Lu Xin said, gesturing to the insulated lunch box she was carrying.

"Try it, I made it myself; the taste should be quite good." Lu Xin walked to Sicheng's side with a smile and lifted the lid.

Sicheng took a sniff and said with a smile, "It does smell very fragrant. I didn't expect you to have this skill; not bad."

Lu Xin said, "Living alone in Beijing for so many years, if I hadn't learned to cook a few dishes, I would have starved to death long ago."

Sicheng said in surprise, "Alone? You haven't found another boyfriend in all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xin felt a surge of joy in her heart, but her face still wore a pitiful expression. "Where would I find the time? I've been busy with work all these years. You know as well as I do how fierce the competition is between Beijing and Shanghai."

"It's time to find one; you're not getting any younger," Sicheng said casually. "This tastes really good."

Lu Xin's eyes narrowed into crescents, and then she said, seemingly casually, "As long as you like it. By the way, didn't your wife bring you food? Before I came, I was afraid your wife might have already sent you some."

"How would my wife have time to bring me food? She's busy too," Sicheng said dismissively.

"I heard your wife is a nurse? Are nurses that busy nowadays? And you shouldn't be short of money now, right? Didn't she quit her job to take care of you?" Lu Xin asked.

Sicheng said, "No, she likes the nursing profession, and staying at home idle all day is boring anyway, so it's good for her to have something to do."

"Then what about your son? Doesn't she take care of him?"

"My son isn't really up to us anymore; basically, my dad is the one taking care of him. It's hard for us to even intervene, and even if we do now, it's only when he makes a mistake.

Anyway, my wife and I can only play the bad guys, while my dad gets to be the good guy," Sicheng complained, though this was the truth.

Lu Xin smiled and said, "That's actually quite good; it allows you to focus on your work. By the way, what does your father do now?"

"My dad? I don't know either. He didn't say, and I don't want to ask," Sicheng said.

Lu Xin didn't ask too much about his family situation either. Once Sicheng had eaten his fill, she asked, "How was it? Was it to your taste?"

"Not bad, it was really delicious," Sicheng said with a smile.

"If you like it, I can go teach your wife how to make it so she can make more for you. If I come to bring you food often, I'm afraid your wife might overthink things," Lu Xin said with a beaming smile.

Sicheng waved his hand and said, "She went to my son's Summer Camp, and your sister-in-law is not a narrow-minded person."

"Alright, then I'm relieved." Hearing Sicheng say that Liu Lu was not at home, a flash of triumph appeared in Lu Xin's eyes.

What Liu Lu didn't know was that the photos she received were intentionally sent by someone at Lu Xin's behest, though Lu Xin did not come forward directly.

Lu Xin had actually known all along that there was someone in their team who had always liked her, but Lu Xin didn't think much of him, yet she didn't want to reject him outright either. Anyway, why refuse benefits that come for free?

Lu Xin was a very smart woman, so she only said a few good words about Sicheng among the team and revealed some of her admiration for him; the rest of the work didn't need her to do it.

This way, even if things blew up in the end, it would have nothing to do with her, and it wouldn't make Sicheng have any other thoughts.

In fact, Lu Xin's initial idea was to make Liu Lu cause a scene with Sicheng because of those photos.

Lu Xin knew that for a stable marriage, the best way to destroy it was to create distrust and conflict within it.

As long as there was conflict, then as a woman, Lu Xin understood a woman's tolerance in this regard very well, especially since Liu Lu had gone through hardships with Sicheng.

And Sicheng had no guilt in his heart for the time being; facing such fuss, he would surely grow annoyed very quickly, and by then...

"Then you go ahead and work; I won't disturb you," Lu Xin said considerately as she withdrew her thoughts.

"Let me see you out," Sicheng said.

"No need, I'll look around your company. You go ahead and get back to work, don't worry about me," Lu Xin said.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you," Sicheng said.

At this moment, Lu Xin was already prepared to change her plan; she felt she had underestimated Liu Lu's level of tolerance.

At twelve o'clock at night, Sicheng finally finished his work for the day and packed up his things, preparing to go home to rest.

When he just walked out the door, he found that Lu Xin hadn't left and was waiting for him.

"You haven't left yet?" Sicheng said in surprise.

"Are you that eager to chase me away?" Lu Xin said, acting 'aggrieved'.

Sicheng laughed, "No, let's go. I'll treat you to a late-night snack; I happen to be hungry too."

"Okay, I know a restaurant that is especially delicious, but it's too expensive and I can't afford it. It's perfect to feast at your expense today," Lu Xin said happily.

Wang Tao had also just finished working at this time. Seeing this scene, he paused, then pulled his feet back, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

The two of them had a quite happy time eating their late-night snack. Lu Xin was a woman who knew how to chat; they basically talked about things that gave Sicheng a sense of accomplishment.

In such a conversational atmosphere, Sicheng unknowingly drank a bit too much.

"It's so late, and you've had too much to drink. Don't drive; why not stay at a nearby hotel for the night?" Lu Xin suggested.

Sicheng also felt his head was dizzy at the moment, so he didn't refuse upon hearing this.

After checking into the room, Lu Xin was prepared to see Sicheng into the room, but was refused by Sicheng. Sicheng wasn't truly drunk to the point of being unrecognizable; he still had some consciousness.

A faint trace of disappointment appeared in Lu Xin's eyes, but she quickly pulled herself together again.

Zhang Ran arrived home at three in the morning, only to find that Sicheng hadn't returned at all. When he called Wang Tao, Wang Tao didn't dare hide anything from Zhang Ran and said that Sicheng had gone out for a late-night snack with a woman.

Zhang Ran was truly unable to sit still now. He called Zhao Hu, "Zhao Hu, I don't care what method you use, find Sicheng for me immediately."
