At first, Meng Chuyuan thought that he had other intentions when he said that he mentioned ‘play’ and ‘relaxation’. Perhaps Lu Qingye needed her in some way, but when she went over, she realized that he really just wanted her to come over and play.

Because of this, Lu Qingye even specially put down his work to accompany her for the entire day.

Seeing that Lu Qingye did not speak, Assistant Yang did not treat himself as an outsider. He seemed to smell gossip and could not help but be curious.

“Madam, so CEO Lu asked you to come?”

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and replied calmly, “Otherwise? Did you think I’m really here to check on you?” She wasn’t that free.

“…” If Meng Chuyuan had not told him the truth just now, he would have thought that she was here to check on him.

However, Assistant Yang was quite shocked to hear that Lu Qingye had taken the initiative to invite someone over. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like something he would do.

Meng Chuyuan’s gaze was still on Lu Qingye, as if waiting for his explanation.

Actually, it was because he had seen “Meng Chuyuan exposes herself” on the trending searches last time. Coincidentally, after the interview ended that day, Lu Qingye had also seen the conversation between Meng Chuyuan and the deaf child. He was worried that Meng Chuyuan would resonate with the child’s circumstances and that it would affect her mood, so he had called Meng Chuyuan at the last minute to ask her to come over.

Lu Qingye admitted that he was a little impulsive when he made this decision, but it was undeniable that he wanted to be by Meng Chuyuan’s side.

Because he was the only one who knew Meng Chuyuan’s background. If she wanted to confide in somebody afterward, but realized that there was no one around her who could listen to her, how uncomfortable would that be?

However, it seemed that Meng Chuyuan’s mentality was much better than he had thought. There was no need to mention that matter again.

Perhaps it was because he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, Lu Qingye found a random excuse to brush her off. “I’ve been too busy recently. I’ll only have a chance to rest when you come over.”

When Assistant Yang heard Lu Qingye come up with such a lousy excuse, he almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud. However, when he thought about how the year-end bonus was about to be distributed, he quickly held it in.

“You’re using me as an excuse to rest?” Hearing this answer, Meng Chuyuan clearly wasn’t convinced.

“Yes.” Lu Qingye did not explain further.

The reason he didn’t go to the office yesterday was to accompany his wife. At that time, everyone didn’t pay attention to the fact that Lu Qingye wanted to rest. Instead, they were focused on the fact that he was subtly showing off his affectionate relationship.

After a while, Lu Qingye turned to look at Meng Chuyuan and said, “I should be back next week.”

Meng Chuyuan hummed softly, as if she was not interested in his schedule at all.

“…” Lu Qingye looked a little embarrassed when he realized that he had failed to change the topic. However, he quickly said as if nothing had happened, “I’ll arrange a full-body checkup for you when we get back.”

“Huh?” When Meng Chuyuan suddenly heard the news of the physical examination, not only was there shock on her face, but there was also a complicated expression in her eyes.

Lu Qingye looked at her without changing his expression. It was as if he was using his eyes to assure Meng Chuyuan that she had heard the news correctly.

In fact, Meng Chuyuan did an average of two physical examinations every year. One was mandatory for the school, and the other was arranged by Lu Qingye.

The physical examination that Lu Qingye arranged for her was often the most complicated and comprehensive.

At first, he arranged regular checkups for her because he was worried that the car accident back then would leave a sequela. Later on, it continued to this day for the sake of her health.

Especially after knowing about her parents’ situation, Lu Qingye felt that this physical examination was very necessary.

However, Meng Chuyuan had always been resistant to physical examinations.

She looked up at Lu Qingye and smiled awkwardly. “There’s no need, right? I’m in good health. There’s nothing wrong with me.”

“Be good.” His deep voice was gentle and commanding.

. ‘ Hearing his tone, Meng Chuyuan knew that she could not escape.

When they arrived at the airport, Assistant Yang drove the car to the entrance. The car could not stay for long here, so they could only send Meng Chuyuan up to that place.

Lu Qingye got out of the car with Meng Chuyuan. He unloaded her luggage from the car and handed it to her.

The temperature today was still very low. Meng Chuyuan was wearing a white down jacket to ward off the cold, a pair of black boots, a low ponytail, and an apricot wool hat.

She had bought this outfit yesterday afternoon when she went shopping with Lu Qingye. Lu Qingye had even bought her a pair of warm gloves. When she went out, she basically wrapped herself up like a dumpling.

Meng Chuyuan took the suitcase from him and said softly, “Hurry up and go to work.”

Lu Qingye hummed softly and reached out to adjust her hat and scarf. His gaze naturally landed on her.

“Call me when you get there,” Lu Qingye said.

Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and made an “okay” gesture with her hand. She pulled up the handle of the suitcase and turned to look at the airport behind her. “I’m going in..”
