Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Are You Sure This Is Their CEO?

"Miss Yun, you’re here! Why didn’t you say anything?"

Mo Bin started to break out in a sweat, thinking Yun Zijin might have been waiting for them for a while.

’Making Miss Yun wait... What have we done to deserve such a thing!’

When Lu Yunque heard Mo Bin call out "Miss Yun," he froze, then rushed out of his office.

Seeing Yun Zijin sitting on the sofa in the executive office’s waiting area, Lu Yunque’s entire demeanor softened. "Have you been waiting long? Why didn’t you call me?"

The secretaries in the executive office were dumbfounded, witnessing a side of their CEO that was completely out of character.

’Are we sure that was really our CEO speaking, and not someone who’s possessed his body?’

Mo Bin shot them a glance. ’So easily surprised,’ he thought. ’You haven’t even seen the CEO at his most ridiculous. This is nothing.’

"Not long. They were all very nice. Look, these are all snacks they gave me to pass the time."

Yun Zijin didn’t mention the happy candies she had given them.

"Are you getting off work? I brought you lunch from home."

Yun Zijin gently swung the food container in her hand.

"Why didn’t you bring Zero One and the others? How could they let you carry such a heavy food container up by yourself?"

"Are you sure that if I brought them, your employees wouldn’t think I was here to cause trouble?"

Seven bodyguards lined up in a row—it’s hard for people not to get the wrong idea.

"You could have just Zero One follow you. Bringing only one person wouldn’t have been a problem."

Lu Yunque was also worried that if Zero One and the others weren’t by Yun Zijin’s side, she might be noticed by someone with ill intentions and get kidnapped for ransom.

Such things were not uncommon in the circles of the wealthy elite.

"Next time, for sure."

Lu Yunque led Yun Zijin into his office. A few secretaries craned their necks to watch from behind, only retracting them once the door was closed.

However, they didn’t dare approach the people involved, but they were bold enough to approach someone else.

And so, Mo Bin found himself surrounded. "Assistant Mo, you definitely know something. Spill the details, won’t you?"

It wasn’t for nothing that others in the company jokingly called Lu Yunque and Mo Bin conjoined twins.

For many things they didn’t know, asking Mo Bin was a sure bet; he always had the answers.

"This concerns the personal privacy of the CEO and Miss Yun. No comment.

You all have time to stand around gossiping? I guess you don’t have enough work to do..."

Mo Bin knew how to handle them. Sure enough, before he could even finish his sentence, the secretaries scattered like birds and beasts.

’Hmph. As if I can’t handle you lot.’

「Inside the CEO’s office.」

Lu Yunque held the food container in one hand and Yun Zijin’s wrist with the other, leading her into his office.

He placed the food container on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then just stared at Yun Zijin, his smile growing brighter and brighter, but he didn’t say a word.

"What are you looking at? Let’s eat. Aren’t you hungry?"

She was getting a little hungry herself.

"What made you decide to bring me lunch?"

This was a treatment Lu Yunque hadn’t even dared to dream of, and it had come true so unexpectedly.

Honestly, Lu Yunque was truly and pleasantly surprised.

The moment he saw Yun Zijin earlier, he had really wanted to pull her into his arms. But considering they weren’t officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet, he ultimately restrained himself, merely taking her hand and pulling her into his territory.

"Didn’t you complain to me that you’ve been so busy with overtime you haven’t even had time to eat? I happened to have some free time, so I came to eat with you."

Yun Zijin looked up and met Lu Yunque’s eyes, which were like deep, dark pools.

"Hurry up and eat. It’ll get cold soon."

Yun Zijin sat on the sofa and started taking the dishes out of the food container on her own.

Because Lu Yunque had been eating at irregular times these past few days, Yun Zijin was afraid that overly strong flavors would upset his stomach, so she had brought milder, lighter dishes.

"Why don’t you have some soup first?"

From the bottom layer of the food container, Yun Zijin took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks and handed one to Lu Yunque.

What objections could Lu Yunque possibly have? Of course, he would do whatever Yun Zijin said.

Throughout the entire meal, Lu Yunque ate whatever Yun Zijin gave him. The man who was supposedly a major germaphobe, who would never eat food picked up for him by others, made a complete exception today.

The more they ate, the more Yun Zijin felt the atmosphere was a bit strange. "Don’t just eat whatever I put on your plate. What if I give you something you don’t like?"

’Today’s Lu Yunque seems a bit off his game,’ Yun Zijin thought.

"It’s fine. I love anything you pick for me."

Yun Zijin: "..."

’Fine,’ she thought. ’I guess that’s a good enough reason.’

Half an hour later, the meal was finished.

"Leave these. I’ll have someone come clean them up, and I’ll have them sent back to you once they’re washed."

Yun Zijin wasn’t one to be fussy. When circumstances allowed her to take it easy, she knew she should learn to enjoy it.

"It’s not even one o’clock yet. Do you want to take a nap? I have a lounge in here."

Taking a nap was a habit Yun Zijin had originally broken during her three years of university because she had to go out for part-time jobs.

But after getting Randomly Spend, she had slowly gotten back into the habit.

"If I sleep, what about you?"

"I don’t have the habit of napping. The lounge is for when I work overtime too late and just stay at the company."

Even at a time like this, Lu Yunque didn’t forget to play the victim.

’Grandma said that if a man shows a little weakness at the right time, it makes a girl’s heart ache for him more.’

Sure enough, when she heard that Lu Yunque would sleep at the office when he worked too late, Yun Zijin’s brow furrowed slightly.

"You shouldn’t work yourself so hard. The Lu Family has enough money for you to live several lifetimes over. If you keep pushing and ruin your health, it’ll be too late for regrets."

’It’s a good thing my ambitions were never in that direction,’ she thought. ’Isn’t it much better to be rich, buy a few buildings, collect rent, and just lie flat?’

"Don’t worry, I won’t joke around with my health. Want to go in and take a look?"

Lu Yunque took Yun Zijin’s hand again.

Yun Zijin didn’t refuse. It was just a lounge, not some sort of shady, hidden place.

Lu Yunque’s lounge, as always, was so clean and tidy it looked like a showroom.

"I have a new, unworn shirt here. You can use it as a pajama top for now."

As he spoke, Lu Yunque opened the closet and took out a black shirt from the very back.

It didn’t have any brand logo; you could tell at a glance it was custom-made.

Lately, Yun Zijin had also asked Mei Lin to help her find a good fashion design studio or an old-school tailor.

Luxury brands were impressive to wear out, but in Yun Zijin’s opinion, private custom-tailoring was more low-key and sophisticated.

"If you don’t like it, you can pick any clothes from the closet. They’ve all been cleaned. So... I’ll head out first. Make yourself at home."

Afraid that Yun Zijin would think he was plotting something inappropriate, Lu Yunque rambled on incoherently before proactively excusing himself.

Watching Lu Yunque’s flustered back as he left, Yun Zijin blinked. ’I don’t think I said anything...’

Yun Zijin didn’t bother looking through the closet. She took the shirt Lu Yunque had just given her, went into the bathroom to change, and began her afternoon nap.

Outside the lounge, Lu Yunque sat in his office chair, holding the documents he needed to handle today.
