    Chapter 25: Wrong CP Ship

    Qi Luzhi held his forehead. If this continued, he really didn’t know what earth-shattering things Lian Xun would do.

    “Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Qi, aren’t you supposed to be getting back together with that person? What’s this all about?” Li Yang raised his chin towards Lian Xun’s direction and whispered to Qi Luzhi.

    “This grand spectacle was created by the very person you mentioned,” Qi Luzhi said helplessly. “I can’t help it, he loves me too much!”

    Li Yang made a disgusted vomiting gesture. “I’m about to throw up my dinner from last night.”

    Qi Luzhi ignored his complaints and turned to walk behind the employees who were crowding by the window to watch the excitement, coldly saying, “Is it a good show? Do you not need to work?”

    The crowd instantly scattered like birds and beasts, returning to their positions as quickly as possible. Some of the bolder ones were still whispering to the people next to them, discussing this stunning, unparalleled declaration of love.

    Ling Yu hid in a corner, scratching his head in confusion. This scene, how was it so familiar? It seemed like there was something similar in the proposal he gave the boss yesterday.

    It should… just be a coincidence, right!

    At lunchtime, Lian Xun secretly ran to Qi Luzhi’s Office when he had free time. Qi Luzhi was leaning on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he sat up. “Why are you here? Is something the matter?”

    “Can’t I look for you if there’s nothing wrong?” Lian Xun smiled. “Have you eaten?”

    Qi Luzhi: “Not yet, I was planning to rest for a while before going to eat.”

    Lian Xun took out a bag hidden behind him and placed it on the coffee table. “It just so happens that I ordered takeout, let’s eat together.”

    He ran over and sat next to Qi Luzhi, then quickly unwrapped the packaging and handed chopsticks to Qi Luzhi.

    Seeing Lian Xun’s attentive appearance, Qi Luzhi couldn’t help but feel uneasy. What was this guy up to again?

    “Take them.” Seeing that Qi Luzhi was just looking at him and not taking the chopsticks, Lian Xun grabbed Qi Luzhi’s hand and put the chopsticks in it.

    “Eat more, I specially ordered your favorite dishes.” Lian Xun also put a chopstickful of each dish into Qi Luzhi’s bowl before starting to eat himself.

    Qi Luzhi took a couple of bites and then continued to stare at Lian Xun.

    After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

    Was he really just having a simple lunch? Knowing Lian Xun, he must have something up his sleeve to be so attentive.

    Right now, Lian Xun was eating with relish, not saying a word, which was really strange.

    Qi Luzhi frowned slightly, feeling a little unaccustomed to it.

    After the meal, Lian Xun took the initiative to clean up the trash on the table, poured two cups of tea, and sat back on the sofa.

    A brief silence.

    “You… don’t you have something you want to say to me?” Lian Xun cautiously opened his mouth.

    “Say what?” Qi Luzhi took a sip of tea, casting an puzzled look at Lian Xun.

    “It’s just…”

    Today he had made such a big show of confessing his love, what did Qi Luzhi feel? Was he moved at all? Did he feel his full of love?

    “I’ve been pursuing you so hard, are you going to agree or not?” Lian Xun turned his head to look at Qi Luzhi’s chiseled, exquisite profile, and coquettishly whined.

    “I…” Qi Luzhi turned around, and their eyes met unintentionally. In that instant, Lian Xun’s deer-like eyes crashed into his, as if a jolt of electricity went straight to his heart, tingling and numb.

    Damn it, why did Lian Xun suddenly look so pitiful and lovable?

    Time stood still at this moment, leaving only the intertwining and lingering of their gazes.

    “You…?” Lian Xun leaned in closer, nervously anticipating Qi Luzhi’s answer.

    Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Secretary Feng rushed in in a flurry. “CEO Qi, there’s an interview tomorrow afternoon, it’s quite… urgent.”

    Feng Nuo saw the two people on the sofa with their eyes locked and the atmosphere ambiguous, and was so frightened that she stammered.

    “Why did you come in without knocking?” Qi Luzhi quickly picked up his teacup and pretended to drink, but still couldn’t hide his red ears.

    Lian Xun also coughed lightly and turned his face to the other side.

    “I did knock.” Feng Nuo said quietly.

    She had knocked twice, but no one answered, so she came in directly. Mainly, there really was an urgent matter.

    “Since CEO Lian is here too, I’ll say it together.” Feng Nuo hurriedly got down to business.

    “An invitation has been sent from INJ’s reporter, saying they want to do an interview on our new game project that we are developing.”

    “INJ is a top domestic game media outlet, and if they give us positive coverage, it will be a great promotion for us. CEO Li’s schedule is too full, and I saw that CEO Qi, you only have tomorrow afternoon free.”

    Feng Nuo looked at Lian Xun. “Then CEO Lian…”

    “This is a good opportunity, I’m free tomorrow afternoon,” Lian Xun replied.

    “That couldn’t be better.” Feng Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I’ll go reply to INJ.”

    “Okay.” Qi Luzhi also tacitly agreed to the matter.

    Feng Nuo nodded to the two CEOs to show her respect, then turned and left.

    Before leaving the office, she looked back thoughtfully at the two people on the sofa a few times, pursing her lips and snickering.

    It turned out that she had been shipping the wrong CP for so long, she didn’t expect these two to be a couple.

    Oh my gosh, was the person who had been sending flowers and confessing to CEO Qi these past few days, CEO Lian?

    What shocking news, that she actually got to witness.

    Alas, there was no one she could share it with, it was really going to suffocate her.

    Feng Nuo held back and held back, and finally took out her phone and told the story to her best friend.

    After Feng Nuo left, Qi Luzhi got up and returned to his desk, saying to Lian Xun, “If there’s nothing else, you can go back first, I need to start working.”

    His tone was calm, as if nothing had happened.

    “But you haven’t said…”

    Lian Xun’s heart was itching unbearably, it was just a little bit more…

    It was all Feng Nuo’s fault, coming at the wrong time.

    Judging by Qi Luzhi’s appearance, he probably wouldn’t give him an answer.

    Oh well, there’s always another day.

    Lian Xun pursed his lips and said, “Then I’ll go first, wait for me to go home together after work.”

    “Got it.” Qi Luzhi replied lightly.

    The next day, Lian Xun turned down all of his work in the afternoon, waiting to attend the interview with Qi Luzhi.

    Suddenly, he received an anonymous message, it was from the informant Lian Xun had met before.

    “Why are they requesting a meeting at this time?” Lian Xun frowned in confusion.

    The other party said they had very urgent news that they needed to tell Lian Xun in person, and asked him to meet them at a place later.

    Although Lian Xun still had doubts, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

    What if there really was important information?

    Looking at the time, there were still more than two hours before the interview, which was completely enough time.

    Lian Xun said goodbye to Ling Yu and left in a hurry, driving to the address mentioned in the text message.

    Driving all the way to the suburbs, the place became visibly desolate, and an ominous premonition rose in Lian Xun’s heart.

    After turning two corners, Lian Xun parked the car in front of an abandoned building and called that person, “I’m here.”

    “Okay, get out of the car now, I’m upstairs,” the other party said.

    At this time, Lian Xun had already realized that something was wrong. He hung up the phone, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy. “Hmph, I’ll see what tricks you’re playing.”

    Lian Xun got out of the car and came to the center of the room. Before he could go upstairs, four or five burly men wearing hats and masks suddenly appeared from all around, surrounding him.
