Teacher, spare me this moment

  She smiled happily like a child, presenting him with the treasure, her eyebrows dancing with joy, her face radiant with delight. Her delicate face was filled with vitality and energy due to this smile, which was the first time she had smiled so happily since coming to his side. Lu Zhou stood there, gazing at her lovely smile, forgetting to reach out and take the painting from her hand.

  At this moment, he felt that even if it meant dying for her, it would be worth it.

  He put the draft in her hand on the table and pulled up her hand with one stroke.

  "Let's stop drawing for now and go eat."

  His voice was filled with pain and distress, the draft was important but her health was more important to him, he couldn't bear her suffering any bit of grievance.

  Xu Liu shook his head hastily.

  "You go eat first, I'll finish drawing this place and then go eat!"

  Designing this thing actually relies on inspiration, she's having a burst of inspiration and wants to finish drawing everything in one breath.

  "You're not even in a hurry for them to produce drawings, why are they working so desperately!"

  He pulled her out without giving her a choice, she had no alternative but to give up, took a reluctant glance at her unfinished painting and obediently followed him to lunch.

  She was in a hurry to go back and draw, so he took her to eat steak that wouldn't take up too much time, which happened to be her favorite as well. As soon as the two of them sat down at the store, she received a call from Fang Dongchen.

  "Liuyi, why didn't you come to the cafeteria for lunch today?"

  "Hmm..."

  She glanced awkwardly at the man opposite her who was frowning in displeasure.

  "I had lunch outside today..."

  "Oh!"

  Fang Dongchen's voice was somewhat disappointed,

  "I was thinking of taking this opportunity to discuss the design case with you!"

  As soon as she mentions design cases, she gets excited, this is the madness of loving something.

  "Dong Chen, I've tried drawing some design drafts this morning. After work, I'll go to the planning department to find you and we can discuss it further then!"

  As soon as Fang Dongchen heard her say that, he didn't say anything else and just reminded her to eat slowly before hanging up the phone. After she hung up the phone, she raised her head and saw that the man opposite her had an unpleasant expression. Of course, she knew why he was unhappy now. Clearing her throat, she looked at him with a serious expression and said:

  "Don't worry, Teacher Lu. During my collaboration with Fang Dongchen, I will always remember that I am already a married woman!"

  She sometimes really doubted whether this man was the usual calm and composed Shen Yuan, or even the president of Lu Corporation. How could he be so petty on such a matter? But then again, how would she understand that if one deeply loves someone, they would want to possess them exclusively, not giving others any chance to intervene.

  Lu Zhou had just been feeling unwell, but now she was being teased by her rare playful words and the displeasure on her face instantly dissipated, and she even smiled lightly. This was something he used to say to her in a commanding tone, reminding her not to forget her identity at all times. Now that she said it in this way, it really felt like an out-of-body experience.

  Sometimes he even thinks that this woman should never harm him in the future. If she really harms him, and still smiles at him like that, he has no resistance power and can only be slaughtered by her.

  Xu Liu saw him smile and pick up a small cup of appetizer wine before eating steak and said to him:

  "Teacher Lu, no matter what, I must thank you today! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to show myself, for giving me this chance to prove myself. Thank you so much..."

  When she said the last words, her voice suddenly choked. The dream she had been longing for so many years was finally realized today with his help. Her excitement, joy, gratitude and the hardships she had experienced over the years all surged up in her heart, forcing her tears to well up in her eyes.

  Suddenly being so disheveled made her feel a bit embarrassed, so she quickly said

  "This afternoon I still have to go to work and can't drink, so I'll just use this small cup of aperitif to express my gratitude."

  She finished speaking and tilted her head to drink down that small cup of green **, this appetizer wine had no degree, the sweet taste was like a good drink, sliding into her stomach through her mouth, she felt that her whole person also followed Sweetness rose, that sweet feeling went straight through the gut to the whole body meridian.

  She had never felt that her life was happy and sweet like this moment, even when she was with Chen Qingchu for those few years, it didn't feel as peaceful as it does now.

  He didn't say anything, but looked at her deeply with his eyes, then picked up the cup of aperitif in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Although there was no language, that glance poured out all the love and tolerance in his heart, she could see it and understand it.

  In the afternoon, she took some time out to finish drawing the remaining part of the blueprint and secretly sent it to Lestre's email.

  "Mr. Leis, I'm sorry to bother you again, this is a design drawing of a building I just designed for N city, could you please help me with some guidance?"

  With such a large project, if she could get the guidance of Lord Rex, she would be much more confident.

  After sending the results, she didn't receive a reply from Lees until the end of work. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and even started to wildly guess whether Lees was too busy to have time to respond to her or if her drawings were really terrible, so he had no way to guide her?

  When she was about to leave work, she lingered and Lu Zhou asked with some embarrassment

  >

  "Is your friend Lais busy lately? I sent him an email this afternoon and he hasn't replied yet?"

  "Uh, he's indeed very busy lately, just wait patiently a bit longer!"

  Lu Zhou rubbed his chin and looked at her before answering.

  He certainly received her email, and he wasn't too busy to have time to reply to her. He deliberately didn't reply to her because this project was something she was in charge of with Fang Dongchen. If he had given her feedback and she had taken it to show Fang Dongchen, then Fang Dongchen might have unconditionally agreed with her design.

  Fang Dongchen is also an excellent and creative designer, although he resents being assigned by the project manager to work with her, he still wants to see if Fang Dongchen can come up with even more innovative ideas.

  Xu Liu nodded and began to pack up her things, preparing to leave work. He furrowed his brow and asked her,

  "What about dinner?"

  She seems to be planning to rush down and find Fang Dongchen directly.

  "I'll go out and eat with Dong Chen and Ao Fang Dong Chen in a while!"

  She said halfway through and realized it was wrong, so she quickly changed her words. He, however, had already made the decision for her on his own accord.

  "I'll get Qin sister to send someone over with a package for you soon, stop eating outside food all the time!"

  She sighed silently, he was also being too nosy. He lifted her chin and continued to order,

  "You must be back home by 10 o'clock!"

  "Alright, got it!"

  She was really getting a headache, and he finally let her go. She hastily hugged her things and rushed downstairs. Now she couldn't wait to discuss the drawings with Fang Dongchen.

  When she arrived at the planning department, everyone was gradually getting off work. Everyone's gaze towards her was not the same. Some were admiring, because she was the very Yan they had been learning from all along. Some were indifferent and calm, and of course, there was also a kind that was vicious and full of hostility.

  She didn't think much of these, holding her own things and walking towards Fang Dongchen's seat. She always believed that the more she was slandered, the more praise she could bear.

  Several male colleagues around him were chatting with him, and when they saw her coming in, they couldn't help but stand up to bid farewell, and some people even said with a ambiguous face.

  "Then I won't disturb you anymore, leave this quiet and romantic space to the two of you!"

  Always being misunderstood by his colleagues that the two were developing a romantic relationship, Xu Liu Yun was rather annoyed. Only after everyone had left did she finally speak up.

  "Dong Chen, why don't you just explain it to your colleagues? We're actually not in the kind of relationship they think we are, right?"

  "If you let rumors continue to spread like this, it won't be good for your reputation, and it won't be good for me either..."

  She now feels that her name is mentioned together with other men, which makes her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

  Fang Dongchen's expression stiffened for a moment before returning to normal.

  "They just love joking around, you can just ignore them!"

  "Please clarify this another day!"

  She insisted, it wasn't that she didn't care about them, but if one day the rumor that she and Fang Dongchen were boyfriend and girlfriend spread to the top floor, she could imagine how much more Lu Zhou would torment her.

  "Good..."

  Fang Dongchen only faintly replied to her with a single word and then fell silent, lowering his head to tidy up his own desk, making room for the two of them to discuss the blueprint.

  Looking back carefully, he was pursing his lips to hold back the bitterness and astringency in his heart. She was cleverly using such a subtle way to refuse her own confession. What else could he do besides feeling pain?
