The assistant reported as usual, and Lu Wanggui would occasionally chime in. Everything was the same as usual. But after the assistant finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent for a moment. Then he said, “Because it was urgent, and the school only said that they needed parents to come to the school as soon as possible. I was worried that something had happened to the young master, and I couldn’t contact you at that time, so I took the initiative to call your wife...”

Lu Wanggui’s hand that was flipping through the documents paused. “What?”

The assistant was also panicking. It was only after the incident that he realized that he had acted too rashly when he called his wife. The main reason was that the school was pressuring him at that time, and CEO Lu couldn’t be reached on the phone. An idea flashed through his mind, so he called his wife. Now that he was listening to the silence on the other end of the phone, the assistant’s heart was thumping and he couldn’t calm down.

Then Lu Wanggui’s voice was heard on the other end of the receiver again and his tone didn’t sound much different from usual. “Okay, I got it.”

The assistant heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that CEO Lu didn’t blame him for making his own decision.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanggui looked at his phone and was silent for a moment. However, it was not a big deal. The matter of Xiang Xiaoyuan going to school wasn’t worth his time to think about. He put all his thoughts into his work. After a while, his phone rang again. He looked down and saw that it was from Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button and asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was sitting on the big bed, felt her ears go numb! What was going on? The novel did not mention that the male protagonist’s father had such a nice voice. It was simply against the rules!

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart began to stir. The yellow-robed Taoist priest had said that she was destined to have romantic problems. In fact, people like these tend to be very easily attracted to other people. With a handsome appearance, pleasant voice, meticulous care, and cooking skills, one could easily capture Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart.

However, Xiang Xiaoyuan could just appreciate the things that moved her heart. She did not necessarily have to own it, such as Lu Wanggui.

Xiang Xiaoyuan chanted the heart cleansing mantra three times in her heart to suppress the effect of Lu Wanggui’s voice on her.

The heart cleansing mantra was very powerful. Xiang Xiaoyuan immediately entered a state of no desire.

To a certain extent, she did not integrate into this world. Whether it was Lu Wanggui or Lu Bei, in her perception, they were different from her. She was a living person, while Lu Wanggui, Lu Bei, and the others were fabricated by authors, including this world.

“Are you busy? I have something to discuss with you. It won’t take up too much of your time.” She did not know how the original owner communicated with Lu Wanggui. She could only try to make her tone sound less distant, but she did not seem to be successful. Her words were like a lowly employee reporting to her boss.

Lu Wanggui did not find her tone strange. Hearing her words, he only gave a faint “Hmm.” Xiang Xiaoyuan could not figure out what he was thinking, she could only probe and continue, “I don’t have a job right now, right? It’s a little boring to stay at home every day. I just want to open a shop to pass the time. The location of the shop is not far from our area.”

Lu Wanggui’s calm expression was finally broken. It was like a small stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating layers of ripples, but it quickly returned to silence. He walked to the light gray sofa in the living room and sat down, grunting once again.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “...”

Dude, do you only know how to say this word? If he grunted, did it mean that he agreed to her opening a shop? Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not bother about Lu Wanggui’s habit of not talking too much. She was overjoyed and said, “You agreed? Thank you so much. If you have something to do, go ahead. I won’t bother you anymore.”

With that, she quickly hung up the phone.

After the phone automatically returned to the interface, Xiang Xiaoyuan reflected on whether she had hung up the phone too quickly? Would a normal employee dare to hang up the phone before the boss hung up? They wouldn’t dare, right?

But she had already done it. Who cares?

...

In the evening, Xiang Xiaoyuan had a whim to eat watermelon. She refused the servant’s suggestion to go out and buy it for her. So she changed her shoes and walked out of the villa. On the way, she could also check out the surrounding shops.

But she didn’t expect to meet Lu Bei.

Don’t misunderstand. At this time, she did not know Lu Bei, nor did she know what he looked like. After all, Lu Wanggui did not seem like someone who would hang his son’s photo in the living room. This also caused Xiang Xiaoyuan to not know Lu Bei’s true face until now.

After she finished shopping in the surrounding shops, she walked cheerfully to a large supermarket far away from the residential area. At the supermarket entrance, she almost bumped into the person next to her and quickly apologized politely, “I’m sorry...”

Looking up, she was shocked.
