After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 61

Lu Yanming walked to the food serving window. Behind him in the huge hall, the people were like statues coming to life instantly, chirping and buzzing like flies!

"Why did President Lu sit next to those people from the advertising department?"

"I don't know! Could what people said in the group chat be true?"

"Who are those two female colleagues at the table?"

"I didn't get a chance to shoot my shot. The hot guy can't be gone just like that, right? Wuwuwuwuwu, I'm not convinced!"

Lu Yanming took some soup and turned around...

Everyone in the hall was eating quietly, with only the slight sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

It was peaceful.

He walked to the dining table, but someone else was sitting in his original seat.

Wang Peng was eating with relish. He looked up and saw him, "Yanming, what are you staring for? Come sit!"

When it was time to eat, Wang Peng went to Lu Yanming's office to find him, but he was already gone. He didn't expect that he had abandoned him and went to eat first.

Lu Yanming was silent for a moment.

Then he sat down next to Meng Yuanjie.

This position was closer to Li Zhen across from him.

Although the air conditioner was on in the cafeteria, Li Zhen felt like she was sweating all over.

Why did President Lu come sit at this table for no reason!

She didn't even dare look around. Her colleagues' blazing gossiping gazes were too hot!

Wasn't he being too obvious?

In the "Macho Feast" group chat, messages exploded one after another.

[It can't be what I'm thinking, right?]

[I feel so disappointed! But it's nice to see the big boss and the little employee fall in love!]

[President Lu is so brave! In so many years at Macro Ocean, this is the first time I've been able to ship someone at the company!]

[Don't say that! President Lu and that girl with long curly hair look so good together!]

[Yes, yes! You know what I mean!]

This was the first time Wang Peng had sat together with grassroots employees to eat.

It didn't feel bad.

"Director Wang," Lu Yanming suddenly spoke up, "this iced soup is pretty good, I recommend you try it too."

"Oh? Then let me go grab a bowl." Wang Peng got up and walked towards the food serving window.

With the seat empty, Lu Yanming sat next to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen: ......

Meng Yuanjie: ......

Zhang Xiya: ...Is he being so blatant?

Li Zhen leaned slightly towards Lu Yanming and whispered with knitted brows, "President Lu, don't get so close to me in the company!"

"Why not?"

He knew perfectly well but still pretended not to know! Li Zhen was panicking inside but smiled and said, "Check the employee handbook."

"Oh," Lu Yanming responded lightly.

Li Zhen felt like collapsing inside. Oh? That's it? At least move a little!

Wang Peng came back with a bowl of soup. He paused and said, "Where was I sitting just now? Why do I feel like this seat is wrong?"

Both Meng Yuanjie and Zhang Xiya couldn't help glancing at Lu Yanming.

The person in question was leisurely drinking his soup, completely composed.

No matter where he sat it was the same. Wang Peng didn't dwell on it and plopped down on the seat.

Zhao Yan accompanied Yu Sheng into the employee cafeteria. Upon entering, they were shocked by the spectacular scene before them.

Whether it was people getting food or leaving the cafeteria after eating, they all walked past the same table in the corner.

The huge cafeteria was left with only that one path.

That aisle was already jam-packed with people.

It was even more congested than Tianfu Second Street yesterday!

"President Yu, this is so strange..." As soon as Zhao Yan started to gossip, he was struck dumb the next second.

That was...

President Lu and Li Zhen!

Yu Sheng followed Zhao Yan's gaze. His expression turned cold.

Had his earlier reminder not been direct enough?

Did Lu Yanming not understand?

"Hmph!" Yu Sheng let out a cold laugh. He strode towards them, an icy oppressive aura surrounding him like frost.

Zhao Yan was so scared he pulled him back. "President Yu, you shouldn't go over. So many people here are watching."

Yu Sheng glanced back at him, his eyes a bit cold.

Zhao Yan let go of his hand. When the boss was unhappy about something, advice was useless.

Yu Sheng continued forward, his gaze fixed on Lu Yanming and Li Zhen. But he had barely taken two steps when Zhao Yan stopped him again.

Zhao Yan held up his phone. "President Yu, I just saw in the group chat that President Lu is pursuing Qiao Yi from the advertising department. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Qiao Yi?" Yu Sheng looked puzzled.

Originally, Zhao Yan wanted to show him the message directly from the group chat, but this group name "Macho Feast" was simply outrageous...

Zhao Yan put away his phone. "In a gossip group chat, people just said they got insider news. Yesterday President Lu helped Qiao Yi deal with something at her home, and today he went directly to her supervisor to help ask for leave. He seems close with Qiao Yi, so it makes sense he would interact with Li Zhen because of that."

So that was it.

Yu Sheng's sharp brows relaxed slightly. He glanced at Li Zhen then withdrew his gaze.

After eating this meal under the scrutiny of all, Li Zhen felt exhausted. She walked upstairs to the advertising department with Zhang Xiya and Meng Yuanjie. In the elevator, they encountered Sister Song.

"Sister Song," the three of them greeted her.

When Sister Song saw Li Zhen, her eyes immediately lit up. "Li Zhen, you know about President Lu's matter, right?"

Li Zhen's back went cold. She said guardedly, "Sister Song, what matter with President Lu? I don't know anything."

It was over! Sister Song must be asking about how President Lu accompanied her to eat just now.

Li Zhen was extremely anxious inside.

But Sister Song just laughed and asked, "You're so close with Qiao Yi, how could you not know? Don't hide anything from Sister Song. Come on, tell me everything..."

Li Zhen was confused.

What did she mean?

President Lu and Qiao Yi?

Li Zhen hurriedly shook her head. "No, Sister Song, you misunderstood..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xiya covered her mouth. "Our dear Zhen Zhen, we absolutely can't spread President Lu and Qiao Yi's business around."

What was Zhang Xiya saying?

Li Zhen stared wide-eyed.

"Hahahaha, I understand, I understand. I won't ask anymore then." Hearing a satisfactory answer, Sister Song from the legal department got off the elevator.

Li Zhen ripped Zhang Xiya's hand away and said in astonishment, "Sister Song definitely misunderstood what you just said."

"What else could I do? Better to let her misunderstand President Lu and Qiao Yi than to let them misunderstand President Lu and you, right?" Zhang Xiya spoke very profoundly. "When you have a clear conscience, you don't fear crooked shadows. No matter how Qiao Yi and President Lu become hot gossip, they'll just end up eating their words. It will blow over after a day or two."

"But it's different for you and President Lu. You can't withstand deep probing..."

Zhang Xiya was worried sick about them. President Lu wasn't hiding anything at all now. Before, he would just eat out with them.

But now, even at the company cafeteria!

"Xiya makes a good point," Meng Yuanjie deeply agreed.

"Alright then," Li Zhen felt like her head was going to explode.

Just what was her tool husband thinking today? After work, Li Zhen left the company at a speed that could win a 100 meter sprint at a high school sports meet. She rushed home swiftly.

Something was off with the tool's state. She needed to have a good talk with him!

If something like today happened two or three more times, her heart would stop from sheer fright.

She rushed to the door and stuck her key in the lock.

Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong.

It was too quiet inside.

Usually when she got home, Lu Yanming would have already cooked. This was an old residential area, so the sound isolation wasn't great. Shouldn't he be cooking at this time?

But then she thought, she did come home a bit early today. Calculating the time, Lu Yanming should still be on the way back.

Li Zhen opened the door.

She looked inside and her whole body stiffened in shock.

The fallen TV, the tattered sofa cushions, the coffee table smashed in two...

Over a dozen men in black clothes and pants stood in the middle of the living room, hands clasped as they looked up at her.

Li Zhen smiled slightly. "Sorry, wrong place."

She elegantly closed the door with a smile.

Damn it!

Run!
