Chapter 887 So - Called Girlfriends

Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao looked relaxed but Long Jinjing felt awkward at the current topic of conversation. Her 30-day agreement with Lu Zihao ensured that there was no hope for a long-term relationship between them. He already made it clear to her right from the start that he wasn’t interested in a committed relationship. The respect and thoughtfulness that he was treating her with right now were just part of their agreement.

Nothing more.

That was what she kept telling herself.

She wanted to escape the awkwardness but it was rude to just abruptly leave in front of an elder. Then all of sudden, her phone rang. It was hers. She ran to the living area where she left her phone and checked who was calling her.

It was Alric Bauer.

She sighed. The man was probably calling to pester her about giving his department more funding again. She was usually a very patient and tolerant person but there were already quite a few times that she almost lost her temper when dealing with Orchidia Beauty’s CPO. However, she always reminded herself that without him, there would be no Orchidia Beauty products. The man was very skilled in what he was doing.

"I need to take this call," she murmured, sighing again. Then she glanced at Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao. "Uhm...."

"Go ahead, my girl!" Grandpa Lu said with a gesture of his hand. "Take the call! It looks important."

Lu Zihao also nodded.

She gave them a thankful smile before heading to another area out of earshot. When she was gone, Grandpa Lu’s expression became serious. Gone was the teasing glint in his eyes.

"Boy, don’t play with that girl’s heart. Jinjing is a very kind, sweet and gentle soul. This old man can sense that the girl gives in to you most of the time, but that doesn’t mean that you can just take and take and take all the time! That’s not how a relationship works, my boy."

Grandpa Lu’s voice didn’t boom this time. Instead, it sounded steady like how most normal people talked on a daily basis. However, the force of his serious gaze still made his words sound like they were booming inside Lu Zihao’s mind.

A furrow formed between Lu Zihao’s brows but it only lasted for a second before he smoothed it out. He looked away from the old man and instead watched the city’s night lights outside the glass windows.
