"She’s 21, how is she still a child!" Situ Wenze was still sticking up for Situ Yunliang.
In his eyes, Situ Yunliang was only twenty when she gave birth to Yun Zijin. At the time, she was just a little girl who didn’t know any better.
She only left Yun Zijin at the orphanage gate because she was scared.
Besides, the fact that Yun Zijin could now live off rental income in Dijing proved she hadn’t had a bad life all these years.
If her life was good, what was there to complain about?
And now they had come to find her. As the daughter, why couldn’t Yun Zijin be more understanding of her mother’s hardship?
"She’s still a student, so how is she not a child? Keep that foul temper of yours in check. Don’t forget why we came here!"
Their trip to Hua Country wasn’t just about finding Situ Yunliang’s daughter; more importantly, it was to break into the Hua Country market.
Hua Country was a populous nation with a much-improved economy. If they could successfully enter the market there, the Situ Family’s business empire would reach new heights.
Yun Zijin didn’t know about the argument Situ Wenze was having. Of course, even if she did, she wouldn’t have cared.
After he hung up the phone with Situ Wenze, Lu Yunque noticed Yun Zijin’s spirits were low. Wanting to cheer her up, he finished up some urgent paperwork and then decided to skip out of work with her.
"The great CEO of the Lu Group, skipping work so brazenly... Isn’t that a bit much?"
Yun Zijin only spoke up to remind Lu Yunque once they were already in the elevator.
"I’m the boss. This is just me leaving early for personal business, not skipping work."
He didn’t even have to punch a clock; the concept of skipping work didn’t apply to him at all.
"You’re the boss, so you call the shots."
Yun Zijin didn’t burst his bubble, but she had no idea where Lu Yunque was taking her.
"You’ll know when we get there."
Lu Yunque was being mysterious.
The elevator reached the first floor, and the two of them walked out together. As soon as the receptionist saw them, she unconsciously straightened her posture.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu! Good afternoon, Miss Yun!"
Lu Yunque gave a slight nod, while Yun Zijin returned the receptionist’s greeting with a sweet smile.
Once the pair had walked past the front desk and only their backs were visible, the receptionist quickly took out her phone, snapped a photo of them from behind, and immediately sent it to the "no-bosses-allowed" employee group chat.
—1st Floor Front Desk: The CEO and his girlfriend, leaving hand-in-hand. So, so, so sweet!!! [Image.jpg]
—2nd Floor Sales: No picture of their faces? Lame!
—3rd Floor Admin: To the person above, you’re really daring, aren’t you?
—4th Floor HR: Am I the only one who noticed it’s not even quitting time yet?
—5th Floor Art Dept: ??? The CEO is leading the charge on skipping work?
—Everyone: Person above, you’re done for!
Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin had no idea what a buzz their hand-in-hand parade past the front desk had caused in the employee group chat.
After leaving the Lu Group Building, the two got into Lu Yunque’s Rolls-Royce Phantom.
"Where are we actually going? If you don’t tell me, I can’t relax."
Yun Zijin looked at Lu Yunque, her expression making it clear she planned to keep pestering him until he told her.
"We’ll be there soon."
Lu Yunque didn’t say, and he held Yun Zijin’s hand the entire way without letting go.
Lu Yunque had said "soon," but it was actually over an hour before the car finally stopped. By that point, Yun Zijin had nearly fallen asleep.
When the car stopped, Yun Zijin was leaning against Lu Yunque’s chest.
"We’re here."
Lu Yunque gently poked Yun Zijin’s cheek, creating a small dimple that bounced right back, full of collagen.
"We’re here?"
Yun Zijin lifted her head from Lu Yunque’s embrace and peered out the car window.
