Jian Jin knocked on the door and saw he was on the phone. Thus, she simply replaced his cold coffee with a freshly brewed mocha before turning to leave.
At this moment, Lu Zhi lightly said, “Don’t mention the past. Otherwise, I’ll want to drag you down with me.”
Jian Jin stopped and looked at him.
Lu Zhi was sitting under the incandescent lamp. His skin, which had not seen the sun for many years, appeared even paler. The greenish-red capillaries under his neck were almost visible.
Sitting quietly in the wheelchair, he still looked the same as before, but the faint smile on his lips had long disappeared. Recently, it had become colder. “We worked together before, but you’re too naive if you think you can control me… I’m not Nie Qixing nor a member of the Nie family or the reclusive families that depend on you to survive.”
The reclusive families?
Madam Nie?
Jian Jin frowned. With a flash of inspiration, she guessed the identity of the person he was speaking with.
Lu Zhi had already hung up the phone.
Jian Jin walked to the desk and looked at the pale man. “Is it… Qiao’s grandmother?”
Lu Zhi’s fingertips landed on the document. He was about to turn the page when he heard this. He paused for a second before flipping the pages as if nothing had happened. “Yes.”
He was a little distracted as he held a fountain pen. His gaze landed on the document but he did read the content. He did not do anything for a long time.
Jian Jin was about to ask him if he wanted to eat something when Lu Zhi suddenly put down his fountain pen, pressed his temples, and asked her, “Is that person at home awake?”
Jian Jin had not been to his house recently, but the doctor at home contacted Lu Zhi through her when he was in the office.
“The family doctor didn’t call.”
Lu Zhi hummed, “Then he’s not awake.”
“Boss, that person…” Jian Jin took the opportunity to ask him if he was the person Qiao was looking for.
Lu Zhi interrupted her, “It’s her birthday today. Have you delivered my gift?”
Jian Jin could finally continue, but she did not dare to look at him, afraid she would see his disappointed expression. “Qiao didn’t accept it and asked Elder shi to return it.”
“Oh.” Lu Zhi sat back and accepted this result calmly.
Jian Jin couldn’t bear it. “Boss, apologize to Qiao properly! Also, don’t do anything strange behind her back. The three of us have known each other for so long. You should know her personality better than I do. It’s not like you have to get involved with the independent continent’s matters. Why do you have to go against Qiao every time?”
“If I don’t do this, will she take the initiative to look for me?” Lu Zhi’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her in return.
Jian Jin was stunned by his matter-of-fact answer and could not say a word for a long time. “You’ll only push Qiao further and further away…”
Lu Zhi waved his hand. “I know what I’m doing. You don’t understand her.”
But I understand you!
Boss, your EQ is too low!
When the heavens kissed your brain, did they accidentally take away your EQ?
Jian Jin opened her mouth to voice her thoughts several times, but she could not bear to say anything when she looked at the loneliness in his gaze.
