“What’s the matter?” Lu Wanggui’s tone was gentle.

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked up at him, a little embarrassed. “I just found a job some time ago…”

Without waiting for Lu Wanggui to ask, she told him everything that had happened recently. “My classmate in the French class introduced me to work as a French translator. When I went to work today, I met Lu Bei, and I found out that the company was under your name. Before I joined the company, I checked and it didn’t say that you were the boss.”

Lu Wanggui stared at Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes in silence for a long time.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was a little flustered because she had never seen Lu Wanggui look like that before. She could even see a hint of scrutiny in his calm eyes. What was he examining? Was something wrong?

“I really didn’t know that the company was yours…”

She repeated it again. If she knew that the company was related to Lu Wanggui, she would definitely not go.

Lu Wanggui retracted his gaze and his tone was as gentle as ever. “A classmate from French class?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan grunted in acknowledgment and shifted her body uncomfortably. Since she transmigrated, this was the first time she felt like she was probed by Lu Wanggui. However, she had not said anything wrong. The original owner was indeed in a French class and a classmate of Song Ya. These were all verifiable relationships.

Then what was with his expression just now?

Lu Wanggui smiled slightly and stopped sizing her up. He said gently, “I’ve never heard you mention it before.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan glanced at him quickly. Seeing that he had returned to his usual appearance, she smiled and said, “Maybe I forgot to mention it.”

Lu Wanggui lowered his eyes and changed the topic. “Are you free next Wednesday?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan panicked. “I think so. What’s the matter?”

Lu Wanggui smiled and comforted her. “Nothing.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan lowered her head and did not see the flash of inquiry in Lu Wanggui’s eyes. A gentle voice was heard, “Shengkong Group is holding a charity banquet. If you’re free, come with me.”

“Oh, sure,” Xiang Xiaoyuan replied casually.

Lu Wanggui could clearly see that when she heard the words “Shengkong Group”, her body did not tense up. Her expression was very calm, and she even replied naturally. There was no pause or other emotions, the corner of Lu Wanggui’s mouth curled into a smile that Xiang Xiaoyuan could not understand. He suddenly changed his tone and said, “But the exact time has not been decided yet. I’ll inform you in advance when the time comes.”

After a pause, he smiled and said, “As for your job, you can do it if you want. I’m just a little surprised.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that she’s going to lose her part time job, but unexpectedly, Lu Wanggui actually approved of it. She looked up in surprise. “Really?”

Lu Wanggui could not help but laugh. “Of course. Do you think I’m a dictator? So I won’t even let you have a job?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan shook her head. “No, I just thought that you won’t like me working in your company. After all, if my identity is discovered by others, it won’t be good for you.”

“How can that be?”

Lu Wanggui sat down by the bed. The distance between the two of them was subconsciously shortened. “It’s okay even if our relationship is discovered by others. Maybe it would produce a good impact.”

“What?” Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t quite understand.

Lu Wanggui was very patient with Xiang Xiaoyuan. At work, he liked subordinates who could keep up with his thoughts. There were some things that didn’t need to be said too thoroughly before they understood his thoughts. This would save a lot of unnecessary communication time. However, Xiang Xiaoyuan wasn’t his subordinate, so Lu Wanggui was more tolerant towards her. He explained, “When the employees see that their boss’s wife is working hard, maybe they will be more proactive in their work.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”

While Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan were chatting, Lu Bei was also troubled by a problem. He was thinking about how he should address Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Thinking back, he seemed to have never addressed her directly. However, Brother Wu’s words today reminded him that he and Xiang Xiaoyuan were working in the same company now. Who knows when they might bump into each other, he couldn’t pretend to cough every time someone asked him to call Xiang Xiaoyuan “Sister Xiaoyuan”, could he?

Putting aside whether or not pretending to cough would really cause any illness, if he coughed too many times, the people in the company would also suspect that he had some infectious disease…

So what should he do?
