Chapter 79: Has the affection faded?

Chapter 79: Has the affection faded?

32nd floor of the Jingguang Building.

Lian Xun leaned back in his office chair, casually rocking back and forth, his stomach rumbling.

“Hey, why isn’t he back yet? He said he’d be here soon, right? He’s not lying to me, is he?”

He muttered to himself quietly. The next second, Qi Luzhi pushed the door open, took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, a smile on his lips.

“What bad things are you saying about me?”

“Why are you so slow? I’m starving!” Lian Xun jumped up from his chair and went to the sofa to open the lunch box, which had already cooled down a bit, on the coffee table.

Qi Luzhi walked over, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Didn’t I tell you to eat first? Why are you waiting for me?”

“Hehe, I wanted to eat with you.” Lian Xun smiled and gestured for Qi Luzhi to sit next to him, “Come and try it. I found a new restaurant. If you think it’s good, we can order it again next time.”

Qi Luzhi opened his mouth and took the food Lian Xun placed near his mouth, savoring it carefully, and praised, “Not bad, delicious.”

“Everything you order is delicious,” he added.

Lian Xun was displeased, “Do you really think this restaurant’s food is delicious? Or are you saying it’s delicious just because I ordered it?”

“It’s very delicious anyway.” Qi Luzhi put two pieces of beef into Lian Xun’s bowl, “Eat quickly, it’s getting cold.”

After eating, Lian Xun leaned in Qi Luzhi’s arms and snuggled for a long while until Li Yang called to urge Qi Luzhi to go back for a meeting. Only then did the two reluctantly part.

Qi Luzhi came out of Lian Xun’s Office expressionlessly. The company’s employees were already used to it and didn’t even bother to raise their eyelids.

This was all thanks to Ling Yu. In the past few times when everyone was gossiping like crazy, he insisted that the two CEOs were only squeezing out time to meet because they attached great importance to the upcoming public beta of the game.

How hardworking and dedicated!

In the afternoon, the receptionist pushed in a small cart filled with exquisite little cakes and refreshments.

“CEO Lian, this is afternoon tea sent over from CEO Qi’s side.”

“Okay, put it here.” Lian Xun glanced at the two whole layers of desserts and stopped the receptionist who was about to leave, “Why is there so much again today?”

The receptionist looked around the corridor to make sure no one was there before whispering, “Those two big boxes of macarons are for Assistant Ling.”

“Oh~” Lian Xun suddenly understood, “Got it, you can go be busy.”

“Yes.” The receptionist pursed her lips and snickered, closed the door, and looked thoughtfully at Ling Yu, who was working diligently.

After observing here for so many days, she had a vague guess in her heart. The relationship between their boss, Assistant Ling, and the two CEOs of Sheng Shao Group next door was definitely extraordinary!

Lian Xun sighed and dialed Ling Yu’s office line, “Come in here, I can’t finish my afternoon tea, I’ll share some with you.”

Ling Yu: “Boss, I’m not hungry.”

Lian Xun: “I told you to come in, don’t refuse.”

Ling Yu: “Oh!”

Hey, it’s always the same dialogue, no fun!

The cause of the matter was this:

Because of Li Yang’s mother’s meddling, Ling Yu’s inferiority complex was triggered, and he stubbornly refused to come out of his shell. Li Yang tried to persuade him in every way, but Ling Yu still avoided him.

Li Yang was sad and disappointed, but temporarily powerless. He could only ask Lian Xun to keep an eye on Ling Yu at the company, lest Ling Yu do something rash.

Qi Luzhi often sent delicious afternoon tea to Lian Xun, and Li Yang also learned to send it to Ling Yu.

But Ling Yu wouldn’t accept it.

Later, it became in Lian Xun’s name, saying that Qi Luzhi had sent it, and he couldn’t finish it, so he was sharing it with him.

Ling Yu came to Lian Xun’s Office, saw the familiar colorful macarons, and silently started eating them as usual.

After eating one, Ling Yu said in a muffled voice, “Tell CEO Li not to send them anymore.”

Lian Xun choked, “Cough, cough, what CEO Li? This was sent by our CEO Qi.

I, I couldn’t finish it, so I shared it with you.”

Ling Yu raised his head and met Lian Xun’s guilty gaze, “You don’t have to lie to me, I know everything.”

“Hey, Ling Yu, you’re usually such a smart kid, why are you being so stubborn about this?” Lian Xun couldn’t help but want to persuade him again.

Ever since that day, Ling Yu had always been depressed when he came back. Lian Xun felt very uncomfortable.

What a sin! A lively, cheerful, and sunny young man had only been in a relationship and was made emo!

“Boss, I’m going back to work if there’s nothing else.” Ling Yu turned a deaf ear to Lian Xun’s kind advice, nodding mechanically at Lian Xun like a soulless puppet doll, then went out and closed the door!

Lian Xun felt sorry for him and was speechless. He sent a message to scold Li Yang again!

It was all this person’s fault for turning his little assistant into this!

Simply unforgivable!

Li Yang heard about Ling Yu’s state and was heartbroken. He immediately ran over to see Ling Yu.

Of course, he was once again turned away.

As time went by, the weather became increasingly hot. The sun was like a burning torch, shining down on the earth with increasing intensity.

During this time, Wei Xueming was chasing An Jinnan every day, so Qi Luzhi was much quieter and had more time to spend with Lian Xun in their own world.

An Sheng Group was still deliberately opposing Sheng Shao Group in the market, but Qi Luzhi could see that An Yishan had long wanted to make peace, after all, no one would refuse money. It’s just that he was still stubbornly holding on for the sake of face.

Qi Luzhi was not in a hurry. Even if the company faced major troubles, he still looked calm and composed.

He wanted to make An Sheng Group anxious first!

Li Yang and Ling Yu, that pair of happy enemies, also maintained a delicate balance.

If you say they were back together, it wouldn’t be accurate! If you say they broke up, neither of them was willing!

Lian Xun was too lazy to care about them anymore, wholeheartedly indulging in Qi Luzhi’s tenderness, forgetting all his cares.

At dinner time, Lian Xun finished eating early and ran to the Living Room to play with Wangcai. Qi Luzhi looked at Lian Xun’s half-eaten bowl and frowned slightly.

Was it because the weather was hot that he had a poor appetite? Why had he been eating so little lately?

He called Wei Xueming and asked about it, his frown deepening, “I understand!”

In the following days, Lian Xun vaguely felt a subtle change in Qi Luzhi’s attitude towards him.

For example:

In the past, when Qi Luzhi was sitting on the sofa reading a book, he liked to run over and sit on his lap, kissing and hugging… In the end, Qi Luzhi would always push him down.

But now, Qi Luzhi would push him away and then run straight to the Bathroom to take a cold shower, blushing.

In the past, he would invite Qi Luzhi to take a shower together, and Qi Luzhi would always agree happily, even teasing him with a wicked smile.

But now, Qi Luzhi would make excuses to refuse.

In the past, with just one look from him, Qi Luzhi would lose control and toss him around for half the night.

But now, he was almost stripping naked and taking matters into his own hands, but Qi Luzhi was still unmoved, simply wrapping him tightly in the Blanket and panting softly, “Be good, go to sleep!”

Lian Xun was dumbfounded!

He couldn’t sleep, not at all!

Thinking that nothing abnormal had happened recently, what was wrong with Qi Luzhi?

Could it be that after being together with him for too long, the affection had faded?
