The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

d Master had gone up to the 10th floor instead.
At the same time, he had pushed the meeting back to 10.00 a.m.

Yi Bin knew who Yu Pingchuan was.
However, the Second Master could visit the elderly anytime he wanted, so why now? Why today?

Was it because of the books?

He could have left the books to Yu Pingchuan and asked the elderly man to deliver the books to the 9th floor later.

Yi Bin glanced at his phone when he went to the washroom.

The chat group of the company was being bombarded with messages, asking him what was happening.

Everyone was already nervous when they heard that the Second Master had finally come back to the Lu Corporation after so long, and now, the man had pushed the meeting back.

All it did was leave everyone to make unnecessary guesses.

Fortunately, as Lu Huaiyu’s assistant, Yi Bin had a high EQ and knew how to act professionally.

He cleared all the messages and went back after taking a deep breath.

He put on his calm look as he walked back, void of all anxiety.

…

Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment before unintentionally asking, “Oh, I heard that there’s an exhibition happening at Jinse Bay tomorrow.
I was wondering if you were going.”

Yu Pingchuan shook his head.

“The exhibition has been prepared by the teachers of the art school for their students.
There’s nothing there that catches my attention.”

The elderly man made it clear that he was not going.

Lu Huaiyu rephrased his words and said, “I heard that there is going to be a painting—”

Buzz!

Lu Huaiyu’s phone buzzed.

He had a glance before standing up.

“Sir, matters at the company require my attention, I’ll be leaving now.”

Yi Bin heaved a long sigh of relief.

Yu Pingchuan stood up as well.

“I’ll see you guys out.”

Lu Huayu courteously rejected the offer.

“I apologize for visiting without giving you prior notice today.
I don’t want to trouble you any further.
We can see ourselves out.”

Yu Pingchuan insisted on seeing them out.
He only went back once the two gentlemen disappeared behind the elevator.

Lu Huaiyu pressed the button to the 9th floor.

Yi Bin knew just what the Second Master was thinking, based on a single glance.

…

Ning Li had been calling Lu Huaiyu but for some reason, the man did not pick up.

Was he busy? Or had he missed the call?

Ning Li strode to the door.

An hour had already passed, so he should have left, right?

With that in mind, she reached the door and heard a set of familiar footsteps.

Ning Li widened her eyes.
Lu Huaiyu was still outside!

Shocked, she looked through the peephole and saw a handsome figure.

She opened the door.
“Second Brother?”

Lu Huaiyu had been just about to knock on the door before it was opened from the inside.

Ning Li stood in front of the door, looking at him in awe.

Lu Huaiyu wanted to speak but as he got a clearer look at the girl, his eyes looked more intently.

Ning Li felt anxious.
She had not even changed out of her nightgown and her hair messily draped around her shoulders.
The fair and delicate features of her face still looked sleepy.

She stood there with one hand on the door.
The nightgown hung loosely on her body.
The hem barely reached her knees, which exposed her fair long legs.

Lu Huaiyu took a step forward.
His towering figure dwarfed the girl easily.

He furrowed his brows slightly and said disapprovingly, “Why are you wearing so little? What if you catch a cold?!”
