Chapter 1257: I Plant To Covet Him

Standing next to him, Lu Lain spoke as she held a file and pen in her hand. Her bare hands felt frozen with a cold but she didn't wish to show it. "Mr. Ming, this place," she pointed at one place in the blueprint of those old buildings, "This area is not plain and these buildings are barely holding on to it. We have to design considering these stiff slopes which are impossible to level up…." she continued talking while Ming Rusheng noticed her bare hands which were slightly shivering. She didn't even wear any scarf, cap, or hand gloves.

Ming Rusheng looked at the site in charge, "Is there any cafe?"

"No Mr. Ming, but if you don't mind I can prepare an instant coffee for you," he offered.

"Do it."

Lu Lain looked at him, "But you don't like instant coffee...Mr. Ming."

"I don't want my employees' carelessness to affect my work," he said and stepped ahead.

It puzzled Lu Lian and she heard Wu Suyin, "He was criticizing you for not wearing more warm clothes," she chuckled and followed Ming Rusheng.

Lu Lian was annoyed, 'Did I say I am feeling cold and give me his clothes?'

Unwillingly, Lu Lian followed them and heard Ming Rusheng and Wu Suyin discussing the project and noted everything down.

Just then, the man came with three mugs of coffee. Wu Suyin and Ming Rusheng picked up one cup while Lu Lian was just busy noting the points. She could see nothing but her work.

"Ms," the site in charge called her to take a coffee mug. "I am fine. You can have it," she said, focussed on her work and even stepped ahead to do her work.

Ming Rusheng held her hand to stop her. "Have coffee first."

"Mr. Ming, don't need to worry about me. Please enjoy your coffee," saying she stepped ahead and Ming Rusheng knitted his brows in annoyance. "That's for it today. We are going back."

It startled Lu Lian while Wu Suyin was enjoying what was going on.

"Just a minute Mr. Ming, I need to finish….."

"When I said we are done, then it's done," Ming Rusheng interrupted her coldly.

Lu Lian sighed annoyingly and closed the file as she walked towards the car. Ming Rusheng observed her and could clearly see she was cold but didn't wish to give up.

He picked up the leftover coffee mug and walked towards the car with Wu Suyin as he heard her. "Ms. Lu seems to be short-tempered."

"That's what makes her different," Ming Rusheng commented and went towards the car where Lu Lian had already sat in the front passenger seat.

Ming Rusheng opened the door, held her hand, put the coffee mug in it, and closed the door without giving her a chance to say no. When he held her hand, he felt how cold they were.

He sat on the back passenger seat and instructed the driver, "Increase the temperature."

The driver did so and Ming Rusheng instructed again, "Stop by the cafe."

After a while, the car stopped by the cafe. Wu Suying sat next to Ming Rusheng while Lu Lain sat opposite to them but Lu Lian avoided looking at Ming Rusheng.

"Brother Rusheng…." She stopped and looked at Lu Lian, "This is not the workplace. I hope it's fine to call him brother Rusheng."

Hearing it, Ming Rusheng looked at Lu Lian and Wu Suying added, "Ms. Lu has instructed me to not call you brother Rusheng when we are working. Is it fine to call you brother Rusheng like before?"

"Hmm," Ming Rusheng agreed.

"Thank you, brother Rusheng. It was so awkward to call you President Ming all the time. If my elder brother sees me calling like this, he will make fun of me."

"How is he?" Ming Rusheng asked.

"Once a man gets married, he never has time for others," she commented and then smiled, "He is happy after father allowed him to marry the one who he wanted."

"Good to know it."

"He was asking about you too. He was glad that you are fine. Once he returns, he will come to see you."

Lu Lian observed the two and their smooth talk as if they knew each other for long, annoyed her.

"Excuse me," Lu Lian stood up and went towards the bathroom.

"Excuse me," Wu Suyin stood up too and followed Lu Lian.

Wu Suyin waited for Lu Lian to come out of the washroom while standing in front of the washbasin area.

Just as Lu Lian stepped out, she saw Wu Suyin through the large mirror hung over the washbasin and ignored her.

"Lu Lian, do you like him?" Wu Suyin asked.

"It has nothing to do with you," Lu Lian said while washing your hands.

"What if I say I plan to covet him from you?" Wu Suyin asked.

"You plan to cover him from me, that means you know he belongs to me," Lu Lian countered.

"Don't worry, it won't be the same soon."

Lu Lian smirked at her through the mirror, "Try it."

"I will. I was wondering how you will react when I make it happen and you will see him by my side."

"One can't control what they dream so I won't blame you for this."

"Once I made my dream come true but you disappointed me by acting almighty."

"What do you mean?"

"During the second year of university, that guy who was crazy for you but I made him fall for me and till date, he can't forget me."

"What does it have to do with me?" Lu Lian asked.

"At that time I expected you to feel bad but you were so full of yourself. You loved to act all haughty and prideful but I wish to see you touch your bottom line and lose that almighty self in you. I want to see you go crazy instead of acting all cool. You act as if nothing can affect you but every person has a weakness and I know yours now."

"Go ahead and try it. But I am afraid you will be disappointed only," Lu Lian declared.

"We will see," said Wu Suyin and the two returned to where Ming Rusheng was waiting for them.
