NovelEnglish“It seems like he has an urgent matter he has to attend to at City Y.”
“Oh, man! I have worked in the company for three years. In the three years I’ve worked here, I have never seen President Lu take a day off except for Chinese New Year. What is the urgent matter that he has to attend to?”
“I have worked in the company for over six years, and I haven’t seen President Lu take a day off of work.”
“Do you know why he’s taking time off work?”
“I don’t know.”
“…”
On the way to the airport, Lu Lixing called Old Lu to inform him that he will be heading to City Y. Old Lu had always trusted Lu Lixing, so he didn’t ask for any details. He only told him to take good care of himself before hanging up the call.
At half-past seven, the plant to City Y took off. After nearly four hours on the plane, Lu Lixing finally landed. He got off the plant at 11 o’clock at night and took the car to his hotel.
Lu Lixing was fiddling with his cell phone when he received Ji Qingqing’s itinerary from Chen Shuyi. At about twelve o’clock, Lu Lixing arrived at Tianyu Hotel.

Qin Yu was busy discussing with the deputy director about Ji Qingqing’s arrangements in the TV series. When he received an unfamiliar phone call during the discussion, he absentmindedly hung up the call without picking it up.
Lu Lixing immediately called Ji Qingqing when Qin Yue didn’t pick up. When the call connected, the person who answered the call was not Ji Qingqing, but one of her assistants.
“I’m sorry, but it’s not convenient for Sister Qingqing to answer the phone right now.”
“I am Lu Lixing.”
The assistant was taken aback when she realized who she was talking to. Her brain froze for three seconds before she quickly recovered. She sucked in a cold breath and said, “President Lu!”
Lu Lixing picked up his room card as he waited for the elevator.
“What is Ji Qingqing doing?”
“…she’s taking a bath.”
“What is her room number?”
“2109.”
When the elevator arrived, Lu Lixing hung up the phone and headed straight for the 21st floor.
Lu Lixing knocked on the door when he arrived at Ji Qingqing’s room.
Wen Rou’s heart almost stopped when she opened the door and saw Lu Lixing standing at the door.
She already guessed that there was something going on between Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing when she picked up the call earlier. But she never expected that Lu Lixing would appear at the door of Ji Qingqing’s hotel room right after she told him her room number!
He was standing in front of room 2109!
They had just arrived at the hotel earlier, yet President Lu was already here. What did this mean?
This meant that President Lu had departed shortly after they did!
“President Lu…y-you…”
Lu Lixing walked into the room without any hesitation and Wen Rou moved to the side to let him in.

Wen Rou nodded her head.
“Why is she taking a bath so late?”
Wen Rou smiled and said, “Sister Qingqing is going to join the crew tomorrow, so she’s been reading through the script all night. I came here so we can practice our lines together.”
“You should head back and rest first.”
Wen Rou glanced at Lu Lixing, then glanced at the bathroom. She felt anxious because she didn’t know whether she should leave or not.
Lu Lixing noticed that she was still loitering around, so he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“…No, it’s nothing. President Lu, I will be leaving now.”
She quickly slipped away after she finished speaking.
Lu Lixing looked around the room. The room was quite large; there was a dressing table next to the 1.8-meter long bed. There was a sofa next to the window, and there was a small independent balcony outside the window.
The air-conditioning in the room was adequate. Lu Lixing took off his coat and sat down. He sighed in relief because he could finally rest after traveling four long hours.
