Chapter 195: One Second of Her Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan was doing an interview on the live-stream of the variety show, he waited patiently and did not disturb her when she was busy.
After Assistant Yang sorted out the last batch of documents, he realized that it was already past the time to get off work. Seeing that Lu Qingye had yet to come out of his office, he did not dare to leave his post.
He did not receive any news that he had to work overtime today. Thinking that Lu Qingye probably had some unfinished business, Assistant Yang took a cup of hot water and waited for Lu Qingye to get off work.
Ten minutes later, Assistant Yang had finished the hot water, but Lu Qingye still hadn’t come out. He was anxiously looking around outside the door, and there were several times when he wanted to knock, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
What if CEO Lu was working inside?
Would his sudden knocking disturb him?
After a long time, Assistant Yang had become restless. He returned to his desk to take a stack of documents for tomorrow and brought with him as he knocked on Lu Qingye’s office door. He was going to send the documents to Lu Qingye in advance and take the chance to see when he would be done with work as well.
Assistant Yang gently knocked on the door, and Lu Qingye quickly let him in.
Before he walked in, Assistant Yang had already thought of what to say later. However, before he could completely walk in, he clearly heard the sounds coming from Lu Qingye’s phone.
Assistant Yang slowly walked in, and his footsteps could not help but become hesitant. “CEO Lu, you’re not working overtime?”
“Why would I be working overtime?” Lu Qingye replied casually without even lifting his eyelids. His eyes stayed lowered, not leaving the phone screen even for a moment.
‘ For a moment, Assistant Yangs heart almost broke.
He had originally thought that Lu Qingye was working overtime, but he realized that he was actually looking at his phone. Moreover, he was watching Meng Chuyuan’s variety show!
When Assistant Yang came over with a pile of documents and placed them on the table, Lu Qingye slowly raised his head and stared at the documents he had just put down. He frowned and said, “Why did you bring these over?”
“Isn’t it time to get off work? I’m sending these over in advance for you.” Assistant Yang looked as if he was ready to accompany Lu Qingye till the end, but his tone emphasized the word “off work”.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were forcing your boss to work overtime. ”
“l wouldn’t dare.” It was just that the weather was too cold. He wanted to go back and crawl into bed as soon as possible.
Lu Qingye saw that Meng Chuyuan’s bus had yet to reach its destination. He hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying to his assistant, “Go get the car.’
At night, it started to snow again. Lu Qingye had been wearing his scarf to work for the past two days. After getting into the car, he loosened his scarf slightly, but he did not take it off completely.
On the way back, Lu Qingye kept his phone raised and not once did he leave the live-stream.
Assistant Yang observed Lu Qingye’s expression through the rearview mirror. Seeing that he was so focused on watching the live-stream and was not in any less of a state than when he was working, he thought to himself, When did CEO Lu become a wife-watching maniac?
After a long one hour of driving, Meng Chuyuan and the others finally arrived at the vast grassland.
The grass was half green and half yellow. The uneven hills were like waves in the sea. The sun shone on every inch of the ground. When the wind blew, the thin grass fell with the wind. It felt refreshing.
The herds of cows and sheep in the distance seemed to know that a new friend had arrived on the grassland and welcomed them in their best state.
Meng Chuyuan and the others got off the bus and stepped on the soft grass. Looking over, they felt so small in the vast grassland.
After getting out of the car, they had not reached their true destination. They still needed to take another form of transportation.
Lu Qingye had already returned to his residence as he watched them struggle along the way.
Although the interview ended, Meng Chuyuan was immersed in the scenery of the grassland and completely forgot to call Lu Qingye.
She got on the last bus and rested her elbows on the window. The breeze blew against her face, bringing with it the smell of grass and sunlight.
Compared to her slow pace of leisure and contentment, Lu Qingye was more anxious.
He watched the live-stream for nearly an hour. He saw that it was not suitable for Meng Chuyuan to make a call during the first interview, but now that she was free, she would rather look at the large grass outside the car window than look at her phone.
“…” Had she really not thought of making a call?
Was there really not a second of her time that belonged to him when her brain was working?
After a while, Lu Qingye temporarily closed the window of the live-stream and took the initiative to call Meng Chuyuan.
Probably because the car window was rolled down, Meng Chuyuan could only hear the howling wind in her ears. She did not hear the phone in her bag vibrating.
When the call ended automatically, Lu Qingye gave up completely.
Coincidentally, he had nothing to do, so he returned to the live-stream and continued watching it.
He wanted to see when Meng Chuyuan would remember to call him.
After a while, the SUV finally stopped. Meng Chuyuan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
The wind on the grassland was quite strong. Fortunately, she was wearing a
slightly thicker leather jacket, loose jeans, and her hair was tied up, so she didn’t look so messy.
Beside Lu Jinsen was a little lamb that was slowly walking towards Meng Chuyuan and the others.
The Qi siblings would only arrive in the afternoon. In order to gather filming content, the production team had found a docile lamb for Lu Jinsen to feed.
Seeing Meng Chuyuan come down and go around to the back of the car to carry her luggage, the little lamb suddenly became a little excited and skipped over. Lu Jinsen could not help but quicken his pace and come over to help her.
[What a cute little lamb. Hahaha, once it sees a beauty, it starts running.] [Isn’t this exactly the scene where the female lead of a drama appears?]
[Young Master really looks like a bodyguard beside a female celebrity when he stands next to Sister Meng. Hahaha]
[Sister Mengs appearance is youthful and refreshing, The prairie has gained yet another hue.]
[The little lamb is so cute. It can’t be a boy, right?]
When the excited lamb was about to reach Meng Chuyuan, it slowed down and maintained a distance of one meter. It looked up at Meng Chuyuan, its big round eyes filled with curiosity.
After handing the luggage to Lu Jinsen, Meng Chuyuan had nothing to do. Realizing that the little lamb was staring at her, she slowly approached it and squatted down. She reached out and tried to touch the little lamb’s head.
At first, the little lamb was slightly afraid of strangers. It retreated a little so that Meng Chuyuan could not touch it, resulting in her gently touching its pink nose instead.
Even the little lamb that had just come into contact with Meng Chuyuan could gain her favor, and yet Lu Qingye was still worrying behind the screen.
If this was like usual, he would have packed up and gone to bed after work. However, he did not dare to sleep now and could not sleep either. He was worried that Meng Chuyuan would call him later and that he would miss it.
It was at this moment that the driver called out to Meng Chuyuan, “Miss, your bag is still in my car.”
Meng Chuyuan: “Oh, okay.”
Lu Qingye saw that the live-stream was loading quite smoothly. He figured that the signal on their side should not be too bad, so he could not help but call Meng Chuyuan..
