Chapter 99 Escape
"cough."
Jiang Sier refilled his tea with shaking hands.
Strange things happen every year, especially this year.
She was someone who could even accept time travel, but now after hearing what Lu Huaiye said, she felt helpless and flustered. She could only subconsciously find something to do to change the subject.
In the past, Lu Huai would have seen her like this and would have known what she was thinking. He would not force her and would have given her enough time to digest and think. For example, a while ago, he gave her more than a week and asked her to give him a deadline.
But today, he didn't want to waste time with her, and almost pressed her step by step: "Si Er, do you hate me?"
Jiang Si'er's head was dazed by the sound of "Si'er". She had heard Shen Jinmo and others call her like this before, and even called her "Er'er", which sounded more intimate. But for some reason, it was just a normal name, but her heart beat faster than before.
After a few seconds of silence, she whispered, "That's not the case."
I definitely don't hate it.
"Is that fear?"
Jiang Sier thought about it and shook his head again, "Maybe a little at the beginning, but later it seemed...no."
Otherwise, she couldn't tease him anytime and anywhere to relieve her boredom.
Lu Huai also told her a twisted story, "Since you are not afraid of me and you don't hate me, why did you choose me to sit in the position of 'Queen' among a group of people? Does that mean you like me?"
"..." Jiang Sier was dumbfounded, "Can it be like this?"
"What else?"
"I want to use this position to stabilize you, highlight your differences, and make you feel more comfortable."
"For a man who was once second only to the emperor, do you think the position of queen can really keep him stable?"
"You..." Jiang Si'er wanted to defend herself. Lu Huai also looked into her eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Can you say that you really had no selfish motives when you were crowned as the queen? Even a little bit? Even a flash of thought for a moment?"
The voice was loud and clear, and every word fell harshly into Jiang Sier's ears.
She stared at him blankly, her hand holding the teacup tightened silently, and the confusion in her eyes was greater than shock.
She was shocked because she didn't expect why he would ask that.
She was confused as she thought about his words. Did she have any other thoughts when she made this decision?
Just now she still had the energy to argue, but now, he didn't ask her any more questions, but she couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Sier's office is on the top floor, with a floor-to-ceiling window on the side, covering an entire wall. Looking out, you can also see the most famous headquarters building in Beijing. This position is not something that ordinary companies can easily get, which is enough to prove how hard she has worked over the years to get here.
After her father passed away, she resolutely changed her major. She originally wanted to be a director and follow in her father's footsteps, but she was really not cut out for it. After graduation, she didn't want to give up, so she opened an agency with Xiao Ji Qian Fang.
To round it off, she and her father can be considered "colleagues" as they work in the same circle.
Her father's name is well-known in the industry. She can't rely on her father's reputation and then fail to achieve results and embarrass her father.
She also didn't want to be looked down upon by her so-called mother.
So she worked very hard and climbed up to where she is today.
It is precisely because of this that her mind has been on work for so many years, like a machine without emotions. The little bit of humanity left was all lost in the social etiquette during work and social events.
She is very smart, many people say so, but she is indeed stupid when it comes to love.
In addition, she had a mission before and was busy ascending the throne and returning home, so she never thought about what kind of feelings she had for Lu Huaiye.
If you ask her whether she had any selfish motives at the beginning, she couldn't say for sure. It's just that...if she answered no, it would seem like she was a little guilty.
Could it be that she has liked Lu Huaiye for a long time? "Jiang Sier..." She was so silent that Lu Huaiye, who was always sure of everything, couldn't help but feel flustered. He called her full name, trying to wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.
Jiang Sier's mind was in a mess right now, and he was so frightened by his voice that his shoulders trembled, "Don't talk yet!"
She glanced at the time and said, "Well, it's getting late. You should go to the airport first, or you might miss your flight."
As she spoke, she stood up first, holding her phone and forgetting to put on her coat, "I have another meeting to go to. See you later."
"..."
Lu Huai also wanted to stop her, but he didn't expect that she could run like a 100-meter hurdles in high heels and run very fast.

Lao Gao came up to deliver a document. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he bumped into Jiang Sier who ran out in a panic. "Mr. Jiang? You're just in time. Here's..."
"I'm busy, you handle it yourself."
Jiang Si'er dodged into the elevator, as if something unclean was chasing her. The next second, she hurried out of the elevator and ran towards the emergency passage.
"Where are you going? Why don't you take the elevator?"
"I'm going downstairs to pick up a takeaway."
“…But this is the 52nd floor.”
"I know, I'm exercising by the way."
“?” By the time you get to the first floor, the takeaway will be cold, right?
Forget about takeout, people are getting cold.
The door of the emergency passage closed automatically with a bang. Lao Gao scratched his head and turned around to see Yu Guo looking at him in confusion.
"What's wrong with her?" Lao Gao asked her.
Yu Guo shook his head, "I don't know either. He was fine when I went in with Teacher Lu just now."
"Teacher Lu?" Lao Gao looked at the tightly closed CEO office and asked in surprise, "Is Teacher Lu gone?"
Yu Guo still shook his head, not noticing Lu Huai coming out.
Their workstations were open, just opposite the president's office. They could see who was going in and out of Jiang Sier's office just by looking up. Even if they didn't look up, they could tell if anyone was going in or out by listening to the footsteps and the door opening.
"That's weird." Lao Gao became interested, "I'll go in and take a look."
The guest hasn't left yet, why is the host running away?
interesting.
When Lao Gao entered, Lu Huai had just finished his cup of tea. He was sitting with his back to the door, and he knew from the footsteps that it was not Jiang Sier who came back.
"Teacher Lu?"
Lao Gao walked forward and sat down opposite the seat where Jiang Sier had just sat.
As soon as he sat down, his eyes began to scan like an X-ray. The tea on the table was still steaming, and only one-third of the tea in the teapot was left, indicating that the two had been drinking tea and chatting and had not done anything else.
Thinking of this, Lao Gao sighed silently, feeling a little disappointed.
Seeing Jiang Sier running away in panic, he thought there was some new breakthrough or progress.
Really, who would sit down and drink tea and chat with the person they are ambiguous about when they are alone? Only this weird couple is special.
