The next morning, Lu Yu woke up from his slumber. As he opened his eyes and looked at the clear, bright sky outside the window, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted into a gentle smile.
Currently, after asking about the exact arrival ti of the people from the Dark Sanctuary the night before, his heart no longer felt burdened, but rather extrely relaxed.
The saying goes, 'A frontal assault is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against.' If he had never known the specific attack ti of the Dark Sanctuary, then the situation really would have been very troubleso.
After all, an enemy hiding in the shadows is like a venomous snake, insidiously treacherous; you never know when it might suddenly jump out and bite you.
However, as long as you know the exact arrival ti of the opponent, then the situation becos much simpler.
Knowing the opponent's attack ti ans, at the very least, that they've stepped into the light, and this way, preparations can be made to avoid unexpected sudden attacks.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the opponent to arrive and respond accordingly.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head. After freshening up, he changed into a rather casual outfit and drove directly to Victory Group.
About ten minutes later, Lu Yu drove to the parking lot of Victory Group. Just as he got out of the car, he saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly approaching and parking beside his vehicle.
Once the Rolls-Royce Phantom ca to a stop, Leng Qingqiu stepped out of the car. Today, she was wearing a black dress, looking both graceful and slightly seductive.
"It's rare. It's the first ti I've seen you arrive late for work."
Seeing Leng Qingqiu open the door and exit the car, Lu Yu teased lightly, with a hint of amusent in his voice.
Ever since he t Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu knew she was a complete workaholic.
The ti Leng Qingqiu usually arrived at Victory Group was much earlier than the regular employees, but now seeing her arrive at the sa ti as himself, Lu Yu was genuinely surprised.
"You ca at the right ti."
Upon seeing Lu Yu, Leng Qingqiu directly said, "There's sothing I need to talk to you about."
"Talking about work first thing in the morning?"
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu shook his head, responding with a sowhat helpless tone, still with a playful undertone.
"It's not about work."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu hesitated slightly before saying, "It's a rather personal matter."
A rather personal matter?
Hearing this, Lu Yu was taken aback and imdiately beca interested.
To know her for so long and have this be the first ti she asked for help on a personal matter was quite intriguing.
It turns out this young lady is not entirely detached from worldly affairs.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at Leng Qingqiu and said, "A personal matter? Tell about it."
Lu Yu was now quite curious about what sort of personal matter Leng Qingqiu wanted his help with.
After all, her seeking his help for a personal matter added a touch of humanity to her usually noble and aloof deanor.
"Let's talk in my office."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu showed a trace of helplessness in her eyes and then said.
"No problem."
Hearing this, Lu Yu shrugged and said to Leng Qingqiu, his tone full of smiles.
Since Leng Qingqiu was asking for his help with a personal matter, Lu Yu wanted to see what exactly was going on.
With that, Leng Qingqiu and Lu Yu went straight into the elevator and headed for the top-floor office.
After arriving at the top-floor office of Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu sat right in front of her and asked, "So, what kind of personal matter do you need my help with?"
His voice was calm, giving off a sense of steadiness.
"There's a personal dinner party tonight."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, "The other party is quite close to my father, and I can't decline this dinner, so I want to invite you to accompany as my fiancé..."
In her words, there was a hint of lancholy.
"No problem."
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "For this kind of thing, you don't need my approval, right? According to our contract, I'm obligated to attend these types of events unconditionally."
He said this laughingly, with a tone full of humor.
"It's different."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu shook her head slightly and said, "The contract only stipulates that you help fend off those annoying suitors, but this ti, I hope you can reject all requests from the other party!"
"Oh?"
Leng Qingqiu's words piqued Lu Yu's interest; he looked at her and said, "Reject all their requests?"
In Lu Yu's impression, Leng Qingqiu was a highly rational person; she never outrightly denied anyone or anything.
But now, having her ask him to reject all requests from the other party was indeed surprising to Lu Yu.
"That's right, whether it's a relationship or cooperation, reject them outright!"
Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded slightly and said, "The other party is an old friend of my father's, but his conduct isn't so upright. My father, out of consideration, is unable to reject him directly, so I want you to turn down all of his requests as my fiancé."
She paused slightly and added, "Of course, you can refuse this as well. I can handle the rejection myself tonight..."
"I accept."
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu smiled and said calmly, "Your father values sentint and loyalty, and I understand his principles. Many things are inconvenient for him to handle personally, and I get that. Besides, you're my fiancée in na, so I'll do it."
There was a calmness in Lu Yu's words, giving off a sense of stability.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu felt a warmth in her heart. She looked at him and said, "Lu Yu, thank you."
"Alright, enough with the thanks."
Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small favor, after all. In that case, see you tonight, then."
His words were full of smiles, and this smile ward Leng Qingqiu's heart, as she looked at Lu Yu with a gentle gaze.
