Chapter 300: Zi Yi Sends Tonic Soup to Lu Jingye

Zi Yi stared at the handsome face at a close distance. She tried to struggle out from his hold but to no avail. With an aggrieved expression, she said, “It’s too warm if you wrap me up like this.”

Lu Jingye’s hand reached for the bedside table next to her and he returned with the air conditioning remote control. He then lowered the temperature and continued to hold her as he closed his eyes.

Zi Yi: “…”

If not for the fact that she could feel the heat coming from him despite the low temperature, she would even suspect that he had no urges towards her.

However… the idea of preparing tonic soup for him should be put on the immediate agenda.

When Zi Yi woke up the next day, Lu Jingye had already gotten up.

She checked the time only to discover it was 5 a.m. She could not help but chuckle. “Old-fashioned man, don’t tell me you stayed up all night?”

As for whether he slept or not, Zi Yi could not tell.

When she went downstairs, Lu Jingye was talking to the housekeeper in the courtyard.

The housekeeper had left by the time Zi Yi went out to the courtyard.

Lu Jingye turned and looked at her. “Let’s go for a morning run.”

After the morning run and breakfast, Lu Jingye said to her, “I’ll be working overtime at the office these days and will be staying over at the office instead.”

Zi Yi nodded and felt bad. “Don’t overwork yourself.”

She added, “I will deliver tonic soup for you.”

Lu Jingye did not expect the young lady to be so considerate. He felt warm deep down and agreed to it.

Zi Yi kept her word. On the day itself, she went to the First Hospital through the back door and grabbed some special medicinal ingredients for the tonic soup. The next day, she gave Lu Jingye a call in the afternoon and headed for the Lu Group.

The headquarters of the Lu Group was a hundred floors high, and was located at the center of the business district. It’s said to be the most iconic building in the capital and one could imagine how wealthy they were.

Zi Yi parked her car in the underground parking lot and made a video call to Lu Jingye.

Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye who was on the other side of her screen. “Ah Jing, I’ve reached.”

The corner of his lips curled up and he said, “You can take the No.1 elevator in the A1 area. That’s my exclusive elevator and you don’t have to squeeze in with the others.”

Zi Yi cheerfully responded and was about to hang up the video call to alight.

Lu Jingye suddenly called out to her, “Yiyi, wait a minute.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you have a mask on hand?”

Zi Yi was momentarily stunned and shook her head. “Nope.”

“What about a hat?”

“Yes, I have one.”

She then searched through her car for the big brim hat that had been left in her car. While waving it at the camera, she said, “I only have this.”

Lu Jingye nodded. “Put on the hat after you alight and remember to pull it down. Directly head towards No.1 elevator in A1.”

Zi Yi immediately understood his concerns. She giggled and nodded. “Got it.”

Shortly after, she disconnected the call. After she wore the hat, she took the thermos flask and headed for the elevator.

There were many guests visiting the Lu Group headquarters every day and many people had shifted their attention to her when she walked past.

However, as the brim of her hat was too large, they could only see a slight curve of her beautiful chin.

“Is she a celebrity? She gives off a strong aura and her figure is also good!”

Zi Yi took large strides and headed towards the elevators. They were divided into several areas and there were plenty of people crowded around.

However, there were not many people in the A1 area.

Zi Yi directly headed for the A1 area. Just then a kind reminder sounded.

“Miss, you can’t go there.”

Zi Yi turned to see the person who called out to her.

It was a young man wearing a suit and tie. He was also carrying a large envelope. He was most probably either an employee here or had come here to do business.

When he saw Zi Yi headed to the A1 area, he kindly reminded her. “That’s an elevator for the senior management of the Lu Group. The lowest floor available is the 60th.”

Zi Yi nodded and thanked him before she continued to head in that direction.

“Eh…”

Just as he wanted to continue calling out to her, a derisive voice sounded. “You’d better take care of yourself. Perhaps she might be someone from the senior management.”

Zi Yi did not bother about what they had said and made her way to A1 very soon. There were 6 elevators here. Other than the No.1 elevator, the few others were crowded with people. However, compared to the elevators in the other area, the crowd here was noticeably lesser.

Precisely due to the smaller crowd, she had become the center of attention when she walked over with a large brim hat covering her face.

When she arrived at the No.1 elevator and was just about to press the button, a woman with a high ponytail and dressed in a smart suit sternly said, “Madam, this elevator is not one you can take.”

Zi Yi turned to look at her.

Everyone’s attention was on her at that moment as they felt that she must have come to the wrong place.

That woman sized her up and her gaze landed on her snow-white chin that was revealed. Internally, she thought that this woman was an insignificant celebrity and wanted to take a shortcut up to the top by coming here.

Thinking of this, her expression suddenly became fiercer. “If you are a celebrity who is auditioning for Lu Group’s product endorsement, please enter Area C. There’s a direct elevator there to the 28th floor. The lowest floors for these elevators here are the 60th floor.

Zi Yi replied with a cold voice, “I see, thanks.”

Having said that, she turned around and pressed the elevator button.

That woman was enraged. She thought, “How dare an insignificant celebrity act so unruly in the Lu Group.”

Just as she was about to reprimand Zi Yi, the No.1 elevator doors opened.

Zi Yi stood at the door and turned to the woman who seemed to have forgotten what to say. “There’s an elevator guide when entering here. Miss, you don’t have to specially remind me.”

Having said that, she left behind a group of shocked people and the woman who turned red in embarrassment, and entered the elevator.

It took a while for the crowd to recover their senses.

They exploded in conversation at once after that.

“Who’s that woman? How was she able to take the CEO’s elevator?”

“She must be a young lady from some family.”

“Impossible, which young ladies of the eight aristocratic families are we unaware of? Even though we did not see her appearance, just based on her figure, there’s no one to match her to.”

“Most importantly, when the other young ladies came looking for the CEO, he had never allowed them to take his elevator.”

“The XXX knows the secretary on the top floor. Won’t we know if we get them to ask?”

…

For a moment, everyone was extremely curious about the mysterious woman who took the CEO’s elevator and they could not help but talk about it.

Only that woman who had stopped Zi Yi suddenly headed to a hidden corner. She hastily took out her phone and dialed a string of numbers. When the call was connected, she covered her phone and whispered, “A woman took the CEO’s elevator to look for him.”

“Who is it?”

The woman replied, “That woman wore a hat and it covered her face.”

The other party was silent for a moment before she said, “Try to get a picture for me.”
