181: I'm going to the Luo Corporation

I'm going to the Luo Corporation

"Ah?" Jiang Yue reacted, her voice tinged with incredulity, "Who would be bored enough to bother deleting those posts?" she asked dryly, her gaze fixed on her laptop screen.

However, mere seconds later, she found herself frozen in her seat as a particular person crossed her mind.

Who else could it possibly be but her boyfriend?

Raising her eyes, Jiang Yue's gaze met Jiang Xiu's, who was wearing a mischievous grin. Her sister's expression was all it took for Jiang Xiu to burst into peals of laughter.

"It was Young Master Luo, wasn't it?" she questioned, to which Jiang Yue slowly nodded, prompting another bout of laughter from her.

"Ah, Young Master Luo has quite the sense of humor," she remarked, then continued, "He probably stumbled upon those posts and comments suggesting that you and Zheng Qingsheng are a match made in heaven. I mean—let's be honest, who wouldn't be a bit irked when their partner gets paired up with someone else?"

Jiang Yue pursed her lips, then asked, "Do you think he was upset?"

She wasn't particularly bothered by what people said or posted about her, as long as they didn't cause trouble or involve people who were important to her.

For her, the online discussions about her and Zheng Qingsheng were the least of her worries. Wasting time fretting about such matters would be better-spent programming, at least that would be productive.

"Yeah, I think I would be too if I were in his shoes," Jiang Xiu responded, her understanding evident.

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement and stood up.

"Where are you off to, Sister?"

"Upstairs."

Jiang Yue went to her room, she then grabbed her phone and dialed Luo Zhelan's number. After the second ring, it was immediately picked up. 

"Where are you?" She questioned right away. 

Luo Zhelan who was on the other end of the phone replied, "In the company. Why? Is there any problem?"

"Ah—" She was just about to ask him if those posts and comments are bothering him when she changed her mind and decided to do something, so she said, "Then I'm going to the Luo Corporation, just wait for me."

Ending the call promptly, she headed to the kitchen to pack some of the food she had cooked earlier.

Meanwhile, Luo Zhelan, who sat in his swivel with scattered folders on his table, had his gaze fixed on his phone screen displaying Jiang Yue's contact information.

Jiang Yue's going to Luo Corporation?

What for?

Luo Zhelan's brows furrowed as he pondered various possibilities. However, his train of thought was interrupted by a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

Yang Lei entered with several more folders on his arm, deepening Luo Zhelan's frown. However, a thought suddenly came up to his mind when he was reminded of something due to Yang Lei's presence.

'Could she be coming to the company because of what I did? Is it possible that she's angry with me for deleting those posts?'

Luo Zhelan thought to himself. Despite his inner monologue, he couldn't shake off the nervousness that came with the mere thought of Jiang Yue being upset with him.

"Is there a problem, Young Master?" Yang Lei inquired, noticing Luo Zhelan's preoccupied expression as he glanced at the stacked folders on the table. "I've summarized each folder for you—from financial reports to operational reports. There's also the sales and marketing data," Yang Lei added, placing yet another folder on the table.

"Go wait for Jiang Yue in the reception area; she's on her way here," Luo Zhelan unexpectedly instructed, taking Yang Lei by surprise.

"Understood."

"Wait— " Luo Zhelan exclaimed, then he asked, "Do you think she would be angry at me for deleting all those posts and comments?"

"Miss Jiang?"

"Hmm."

"Well, did you not ask for her permission before doing so?" Yang Lei asked but he could already guess that his boss had not done so, making him scratch his head, "Young Master, no matter what, it would still be best to consult her before making such decisions, especially since Miss Jiang was accustomed to handling things on her own."

Yang Lei already has a good understanding of Jiang Yue and even more of his boss. It would surely be a challenge for the two of them to work on their relationship if they do not communicate with each other.

Jiang Yue was the kind of person who was used to doing everything by herself, and would undoubtedly confront and conquer her problems single-handedly, and would certainly not seek assistance from others.

His boss, on the other hand, was someone who always makes the final decision even without the opinion of others. He would certainly make some decisions and some actions without engaging his partner in preliminary discussion.

Luo Zhelan was silent for a few seconds before he nodded.

It was really low of him to get those comments and posts deleted, however, he did not regret what he did as there was no way he would allow another man to be paired with his girlfriend on the internet.

But he does admit that it was wrong of him to not ask Jiang Yue about it before doing so.

It seemed as if he had been attempting to establish dominance and assert his claim over her, which was a bit premature considering they had only been together for a month.

"Disregard my previous instructions. There's no need to welcome her," Luo Zhelan directed, to which Yang Lei nodded.

He decided that he would personally go to Jiang Yue to smooth things over, just in case she was indeed upset about the deletions.

He stood up and tried to call her number, however, it kept on ringing.

By the time he reached the elevator, he had called Jiang Yue five times, finally reaching her on the sixth attempt.

"There's no need to go to the company, I'll just pick you up on your condominium." He stated, and the girl on the other end of the phone replied, "Ah, but I'm already in your company's building."

This girl probably didn't waste a second after she said those words and right away drove to his company for her to get there that fast.

"Oh, then wait for me in the reception area, I'll come get you."

Jiang Yue who was just in front of the information desk to ask about Luo Zhelan, said to the information desk attendee, "It's fine, it's been settled already."

The attendee nodded with a smile and after she had seen the girl turn around, she couldn't help but say to the other attendee, "Don't you think she looks familiar? Is she an idol or something? I'm sure I've seen her photo somewhere."

Her coworker responded with a knowing glance, "You've probably seen her on Weibo; she's quite the sensation right now. She's the Nation's Top Scorer and a well-known gamer."

"Ah, now that you've mentioned it, I remember now. Isn't she the talk of the week because she's like soft-launching her boyfriend? Do you think it's Zheng Qingsheng though?"

"I can't say for sure."

Jiang Yue who had just sat on the couch for a few minutes had to get up right away when she had finally seen Luo Zhelan, and he who had finally seen her, couldn't help but laugh when he noticed that some of her hair were sticking out.

When he finally closed the distance between the two of them, he extended his hand to smooth down a few stray hairs.

"Does it look messy? I wore a helmet since I rode my motorcycle," Jiang Yue stated as she stared at his eyes that were fixed on her hair. Seeing that he doesn't look upset and was even smiling, her anxious heart finally calmed down.

"No, you still look beautiful."

However hearing him say those words, somehow made her heart erratic again and she couldn't help the small smile that tugged at the corners of her lips.

"I know, I'm asking you if it looks messy not if it looks beautiful," she playfully replied.

Luo Zhelan lowered his hand after fixing her hair then finally looked back at her, "It does not have any difference to me."

"I didn't know Young Master Luo has a low vocabulary. You seem so eloquent with the way those words came out of your mouth."

"My brain just starts to blank out when I see you."2

Jiang Yue rolled her eyes, "Okay, that's enough. That's exaggerating already."

Luo Zhelan laughed, "Let's go— Oh, what do you have with you?" he asked when he noticed the paper bag she was holding in her hand.

She responded, showing the paper bag to him filled with little containers, "I've cooked some food and decided to bring some for you."

She still remembers when Jiang Xiu was hospitalized due to what Cheng Jiayi had done, Luo Zhelan had tried the porridge too and requested that she make some for him.

So when she had decided to do something, she packed some of the food she had cooked that afternoon after heating it and it was just perfect since she had cooked some porridge as well.
