Chapter 230: The Trivial Matters of a Couple

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Speaking of it, considering the length of time they had been in contact, if you looked closely, it was true that Lu Si had been more proactive in this relationship.

Mei Shu had always maintained a somewhat distant attitude.

What they knew, what they could investigate, was Mei Shu’s past. But as for Mei Shu in the present, they knew nothing.

Mei Shu was entirely different from what their investigations had revealed.

The more they interacted, the stronger Lu Si felt this way.

The stronger it got, the more he wanted to get closer to her.

However, Mei Shu unexpectedly uttered those words, causing ripples in his otherwise calm heart.

Although Lu Si didn’t show it on the surface, even Jiang He could sense it.

His Master Si was genuinely interested in Mei Shu, and he had likely just been rejected by her, which was why he was now asking these inexplicable questions.

Jiang He understood what was going on, so he couldn’t help but worry for him. He couldn’t help but say, “You can try doing those ordinary things with Miss Mei. As long as you spend enough time together, once Mei Shu gets used to your presence, she won’t just see you as an ordinary friend anymore.”

Lu Si seemed to grasp the idea but also seemed at a loss. He sat in the back seat, his brow furrowed, hesitating for quite some time. Finally, he took out his phone, found Mei Shu’s contact information, and proactively sent her a text message, “Let me know when you get home.”

After sending the message, there was a long silence, and the phone remained motionless.

Lu Si couldn’t help but become increasingly impatient.

Jiang He, being his trusted assistant, was the one who understood his intentions the best. Seeing Lu Si getting annoyed but having no outlet for his frustration, he said nervously, “The beginning is always the hardest, Master Si. Don’t rush it. Things need time, and when you like someone, you have to take it slow to pursue her.”

These words made Lu Si suddenly freeze.

“Who said I want to pursue her?”

Jiang He was a bit speechless. “Don’t you want to have a closer relationship with Miss Mei?”

“No,” Lu Si vehemently denied, as if he was hit in a sensitive spot.

He had almost tangled himself up just now.

He didn’t even like Mei Shu that much, so why should he frequently engage in couple-like activities with her?

He wanted to retract the message he had just sent, but it was already past the time limit, so he had no choice but to leave it.

Lu Si decided to stop thinking about it.

He casually put his phone aside and silently picked up the files to work. However, his eyes couldn’t help but keep drifting toward the screen.

Until his phone rang.

Lu Si admitted that his heart skipped a beat.

But when he saw the caller ID on the screen, the light that had just appeared in his eyes suddenly extinguished.

The call was from the company’s manager, and it was about some dull and boring work-related matters.

He gave some brief instructions and hung up without bothering to continue the conversation. He was about to put his phone away again to avoid distraction when a new text message suddenly popped up on the screen.

Although Mei Shu’s name hadn’t changed, the message seemed unusually conspicuous, causing even his usually calm eyes to contract slightly.

He quickly concealed the slight unnaturalness in his expression and opened the message to read it.

In the chat window, Mei Shu’s message was polite and distant.

“I ran into an acquaintance on the way and decided to have dinner together. I won’t be going home for a while. Thanks for your concern.”

Reading these words, Lu Si inexplicably felt a sense of discomfort in his heart.

She wouldn’t have dinner with him but would happily go on a date with someone else, even though she knew he had been treating her well!

At this moment, someone had completely forgotten that he had just rejected her earlier and was sulking.

Jiang He, as his personal assistant, was the best at understanding his thoughts. Seeing his frustrated expression but with no way to vent his frustration, he couldn’t help but chuckle secretly, then quickly put on a serious expression.

His ability to change his demeanor was indeed fast.

“Master Si, today, it was easy for Lu Ming to follow Miss Mei’s orders because you willingly participated in the investigation. Both in terms of emotions and logic, Miss Mei should thank you properly. Why don’t we give her a hint so that she can take the initiative herself?”

Lu Si furrowed his brows. “Why should I give her a hint?”

Jiang He had already prepared an excuse for him. “Haven’t we already obtained information from the police? You probably didn’t have time to tell Miss Mei about it, right?”

Lu Si fell into silence.

Indeed, he hadn’t told her yet because of Mei Shu’s question.

“Call her and tell her I need to talk to her, ask for her current location.”

“Alright!” Jiang He parked the car by the side of the road and cheerfully made arrangements for him.

Soon, Mei Shu sent her address, and Jiang He immediately turned the car around and headed to the restaurant where she was now.

Mei Shu had wanted to take a leisurely walk after getting out of the car. During this period, her schedule had been packed every day. Even for someone like her, the physical and mental fatigue was real. So, she wanted to take this opportunity to relax and didn’t plan to return home so soon.

However, to her surprise, she bumped into Wen Miao, who had also come out to clear her mind. They decided to go to a restaurant together, so when she received Jiang He’s text message, although she found it a bit strange, she still gave him the address without thinking too much about it.

“Sorry, 1 have a friend coming later,” she said after hanging up the phone, looking apologetic.

Wen Miao waved her hand indifferently. “1 don’t mind, and besides, I’d like to meet your other friends too..”
