The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 732 (Not Convenient to Reveal) (Lu Jingchuan & Yan Liluo)

Not long after Yan Liluo arrived home, Bai Qiu appeared alone at her doorstep.

The white ball was indeed well-behaved, cute, and lovable. Lu Jingchuan did not appear, probably because he wanted her to take care of it for a month before he would stop. A month of care was not too long, and in the end, Yan Liluo softened and let the white ball into her room.

He doesn't like to make a fuss about his grandfather's birthday. He thinks it's enough for the family to sit down and have a meal together. In previous years, the family would gather together for a reunion dinner and give the grandfather some gifts. Today is no exception.

"Grandpa, I'd like to toast you with a glass of wine, wishing you boundless happiness and longevity!" Yan Mu, holding her beverage as if it were wine, took the lead in offering her congratulations to the old man, being the one who livens up the atmosphere in the family.

Because of Yan Liluo's presence, Baiqiu has been frequently visiting the Yan family's home recently and has gradually become familiar with everyone. While everyone else is eating around the table, Baiqiu roams freely in the house.

Fearing it might run away, Yan Liluo specially prepared a small bell for the white ball to wear around its neck, so that she could know its whereabouts at any time. The sound of jingling could often be heard in the house. After running around for a while, it would occasionally run back to Yan Liluo and throw a tantrum.

At that moment, Lu Jingchuan, wearing headphones, frowned in displeasure and muttered, "What the hell is making that clanging noise?"

The white ball ran so fast it drooled, and sat on the ground panting with its tongue hanging out.

"Ballball, you're not allowed to run around anymore."

Perhaps it was truly tired from running, for the white ball stayed by Yan Liluo's side and stopped running around.

After dinner, everyone was still chatting together when the old man suddenly said to Yan Liluo, "Luoluo, no matter how long you're away, come home whenever you want. This will always be your home, and you'll have a share in the Yan family business."

The old man also learned from Yan Liheng that Yan Liluo had submitted her resignation and planned to go to England, and he was worried that she wouldn't come.

"Yes, I know. I just want to go out and see the world. I'll be back."

When her mother was alive, she often saw her mother alone in her room, secretly wiping away tears while holding a photograph. She had asked who the people in the photograph were, but her mother did not answer. She did not know what had happened to her mother in the past, but she knew that her mother missed her family.

Having lived in Jincheng for so many years, she has found the warmth of home again here, knowing that everyone is genuinely kind to her, but she can't let go of the entanglements of the past.

This time, I decided to go to the UK to change my environment, to completely relax, and to stop dwelling on the things that happened in the past.

Yan Liluo has work to do tomorrow, and since her apartment is close to the company, she needs to go back to her apartment. Yan Mu wants to talk to her alone and also hitch a ride with her.

As usual, Yan Liluo drove, and Yan Mu sat in the passenger seat, the two sisters chatting privately.

"Actually, Grandpa has been missing my aunt all these years. My mom said that he changed my name because he wanted us sisters to be close."

"You're my only sister, you can't just abandon me," Yan Mu said suddenly, her voice breaking.

"Why are you so unhappy? I didn't say I was going to abandon you." His tone was very kind, and a smile even appeared on his face as he spoke.

Yan Mu had a very good relationship with her since childhood. Although she was younger, she knew very well how to take care of other people's feelings and could always find out her unusual emotions and coax her to be happy in her own way. Sometimes she couldn't even tell who was the older sister.

"Then why do I have a feeling you'll be gone for a long time this time? Tell me honestly, will you really come back?"

"Then tell me, where can I go if I don't come back?"

"How would I know where you're going? You always lie to me. You often go to Ancheng saying it's a business trip, but actually it's just to work in a different place."

"Isn't a business trip just working in a different place?"

"Are you just changing jobs? You're a general manager, why would you become a special assistant?"

Yan Mu tilted her head and looked at Yan Liluo seriously, "Do you still have feelings for him?"

Whom do I still can't forget?

"I don't know who he is. I heard Xiang Tian say a few days ago that you have someone in your heart, and that person is in Ancheng. You still have some connection with him. That's my understanding. If you weren't so hung up on him, why did you always go to Ancheng on business trips before?"

“It has nothing to do with him. I admit that I have a connection with his family, but that was out of gratitude and had nothing to do with lingering feelings.”

"Is the person Brother Xiangtian mentioned a real person? Who is he? What did his family do that you need to thank?"

"It's not convenient to disclose."

"Can't I even find out who it is?"

"Didn't Huo Xiangtian tell you who it was?"

“He did say that, but I don’t think your judgment is that bad.”

"Xiang Tian is so great. He has no scandals, no ambiguous relationships with women, is about your age, and is handsome too."

"It seems you two have talked about me quite a bit in private."

"It's alright. Besides talking about you, Xiang Tian and I don't have any other topics to discuss."

What do you two usually talk about me about?

"It's nothing, just asking where you went, whether you've eaten, and how you're feeling..."

"With your gossipy skills, I really can't let you know when I'm leaving, lest you lose your peace and quiet."

"...?!" Yan Mu was speechless for a moment before realizing that she had been talking too enthusiastically and seemed to have accidentally revealed something she shouldn't have.

"I swear, I really didn't tell you that you were going to England!"

"It's okay. Anyway, going to England was a last-minute decision. Who knows, we might not go to England and go somewhere else instead."

Yan Mu patted her mouth lightly, feeling exasperated; she had almost blurted out everything in a moment of carelessness.

Jiang Hao, who was far away in Ancheng, had already fallen asleep, but received a call from Lu Jingchuan very late at night.

"Hello, who is it?"

"it's me."

Jiang Hao snapped out of his daze, recognized the caller, and, still half-asleep, mumbled, "How much?"

"It's not about money. There's something I need you to find out for me."

"Hey bro, are you having trouble sleeping? It's 2 a.m., not 2 p.m. What do you want me to find out at this hour? When do ghosts get off work?"

"I'm having trouble sleeping, and I happen to have something I need you to ask me about."

"If you can't sleep, go bother someone else. We can talk about anything else tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."

After hanging up the phone, it was already very late, but Lu Jingchuan was not sleepy at all. He was still listening to financial knowledge videos on his computer. He had learned these before, but he hadn't paid attention to them in the past, so they had been neglected.

Having recently suffered a severe shock, Lu Jingchuan decided to secretly work hard and make certain people rethink their perception of him.
