Chapter 303: Exposing the Secret

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the afternoon, there was no sign of sun in the clouds. The sky gradually turned gray, and the air was cold.

Lu Qingye had met with two groups of clients at the club this afternoon.

In the past two days, Lu Qingye had been busy negotiating and meeting clients outside most of the time, including today.

“Get ready. We’ll be going back at the beginning of next month.” After talking to his client, Lu Qingye handed the document to Assistant Yang.

“Oh… Huh?” Assistant Yang did not react in time. When he heard Lu Qingye’s instructions just now, a trace of shock appeared on his face, but he quickly came back to his senses. “I thought we would stay until Christmas.”

Seeing that he was a little disappointed and reluctant, Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly, “Then how about you stay?”

Assistant Yang shook his head vigorously. “CEO Lu, I’ve been here for three months. Please let me go back… On account of my hard work, can you consider giving me a few more days of annual leave?”

Lu Qingye had been back in China for a week, but Assistant Yang had not left for a day since he arrived overseas. He had endless work every day, and it was not convenient for him to contact his family because of the time difference.

Of the 365 days of the year, Assistant Yang accompanied Lu Qingye on business trips for nearly 200 days. It was not too much for him to apply for a few more days of annual leave.

“Let’s settle the matter at hand first.” Lu Qingye did not answer directly, but

this response could be counted as tacit approval.

Assistant Yang’s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable joy. He smiled and said, “Alright.”

After the two of them finished talking about this matter, they came out of the living room together.

When they reached the lobby of the club, two burly men walked out not far away and were approaching Lu Qingye and the others.

“CEO Lu, that person seems to be Brian.” Assistant Yang immediately recognized the man walking towards them as Brian.

When Lu Qingye heard this, he looked up.

The man walking towards him was wearing a caramel-colored coat and had flowy hair that was like a lion’s mane. He had a beard on both sides of his chin. The black English boots on his feet collided with the ground and occasionally made a muffled sound.

The other man behind Brian was his personal assistant.

Before Lu Qingye could speak, Brian greeted him with a smile. “Hi, Mr. Lu!”

“Mr. Lu? It’s really you!” After Brian recognized him, he strode over and said warmly, “Long time no see.”

Brian walked up to Lu Qingye and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

Seeing this, Lu Qingye took his hand out of his pocket and shook Brian’s hand. “Long time no see, Mr. Brian.”

Brian was already a little excited to see Lu Qingye here. However, when Brian noticed the ring on his finger, he said in surprise and joy, “You’re wearing… the ring I gave you?”

Lu Qingye nodded at him generously. “That’s right. You gave me this ring before.’ ‘Good. So you’re married now, are you?’

“Yes, I am.”

Today, the two of them were lucky enough to meet, so they sat down somewhere else and chatted for a while.

Lu Qingye could not understand why Brian was so enthusiastic when he first saw him, even spending time designing matching rings for him…

Coincidentally, he had met Brian today. Lu Qingye wanted to take this opportunity to clarify what had happened before. “Mr. Brian, I really want to know why you gave me a pair of rings after only meeting me once?”

“We actually met once before that,” Brian estimated. “It must have been two years ago, at an auction in North America. The oil painting you paid a high price for was my wife’s work..”
