Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone chanted, “Luo Ying, just call President Lu.”
The jeers from the audience caused Luo Ying’S cheeks to flush.
Lin Ping saw Luo Ying’S face flush. His heart sank all the more. Luo Ying had to really love Lu Zhao. The pure joy on her face spoke the truth.
Lin Ping refrained from joining in. He chose to keep his head down and drink.
Jin Shi studied Lin Ping darkly. Lin Ping had a crush on his sister, didn’t he?
There was no way this was going to succeed.
Probably unbeknownst to Lin Ping, Luo Ying is no longer the obnoxious, naive lady who constantly bugged Lin Su.
Luo Ying fumbled for her phone and dialed Lu Zhao’s number.
Lu Zhao picked up almost immediately. For some reason, Luo Ying was a little sheepish. After all, many people were watching.
“Lu Zhao, what are you doing right now?”
Everyone turned their attention to Luo Ying as she spoke on the phone, waiting to hear his response.
“I’ve just come out of a meeting. What’s up? Did you miss me?
Everyone in the room squealed after hearing that.
Lu Zhao could hear their cries of joy. “Are you outside now?”
“Yes. I actually have something to tell you.”
Lu Zhao probably adjusted his grip on the phone. “What is it?” he asked.
“Right now I’m having a few drinks with Cheng Yang and the others. Could you please pay for it?”
She felt a twinge of anxiety. Lu Zhao was usually quite level-headed. She was unsure if she was about to get a scolding from him.
Lu Zhao’s leniency surprised her. “Sure,” he said. “Are you on speaker?”
Luo Ying hummed quietly.
“I’ll foot the bill on this one. I need to speak with you for a bit. Get off speaker.”
He knew Luo Ying wasn’t being serious since she was clearly playing a game with them.
Luo Ying lowered the handset to her ear.
Her ear was filled with the man’s low whisper. “I miss you so much.” He spoke softly, as if he were struggling through something. “But there’s a problem at the company.”
Frowning, Luo Ying looked about. Was it possible that Lu Wen had begun communicating with Lu Zhao?
“Is is Lu Wen?” Luo Ying recalled that Lu Wen and Lin Su often got along well in the original novel. The moment Lu Zhao shifted his attention to his profession, Lu Wen and Lin Su nearly succeeded in swallowing the company whole.
Still, they ultimately failed to prevail against Lu Zhao.
But it was well off in the distant future. 1–1ad she advanced the plot progression again?
“Just keep Jin Shi close by. That jerk, Lu Wen has already touched down in Prague.”
Luo Ying’S eyes widened. She instantly made the connection. “When did Lu Wen arrive?”
“Two days ago.”
Luo Ying had been troubled by Su Su’S lack of response two days ago.
A horrible prospect entered her mind abruptly. Maybe Lu Wen had something to do with Su Su’S disappearance.
Since Lu Zhao was struggling with work, she had no intention of troubling him. 1–1e would drop everything and fly here.
She hoped Lu Zhao would be able to handle things on his end.
Luo Ying shifted gears and began chatting with Lu Zhao about her work.
Lin Ping was looking intently at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying was beaming as she held her phone and spoke happily into it. Her face was slightly red, as if she was slightly embarrassed. 1–1er tears of joy were on the verge of overflowing.
He found the scene agonizing to watch. Only Lu Zhao could ever make her smile like that.
He had never felt so defeated in his life. How his feelings for Luo Ying had changed so suddenly was a mystery to him.
Whether it was because of the eSports tournament they both participated in or just because they were both players, Luo Ying never left his side.
Why would Luo Ying dislike him? Lin Ping chugged down a gulp of the sour liquor.
He felt like a fool.
Right then, Jin Shi reached around and grasped his shoulder. “How about we go for a walk?”
They climbed up to the roof together. Lin Ping was only half awake when the wind from the rooftop ruffled his hair.
His breath smelled of booze, and his chest was heavy.
Jin Shi was sorry when he saw Lin Ping’S sorrowful expression. Luo Ying was his sister, while Lin Ping was a dear friend..
