In the activity lounge, several managers watched Lu Yanbei, who was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, and they were all too scared to speak, their palms sweating.
The arrival of this big shot, uninvited, had left them both flattered and terrified.
However, there was no flattery, only terror!
Especially when they saw Su He, unconscious in this big shot's arms, their legs started to tremble.
This powerful man remained silent, and if this continued, they would suffocate.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu..." the man at the head of the group swallowed and hesitantly called out.
Lu Yanbei glanced at him indifferently, his lips forming a straight line of displeasure.
At this moment, Cheng Jue came over with a cup of brown sugar water, and Lu Yanbei's expression softened slightly. He gently pinched Su He's cheek and softly coaxed her awake. "Wake up and drink some water."
Su He struggled to open her eyes. The moment she saw Lu Yanbei, she inexplicably felt at ease. "What happened to me?"
"Low blood sugar, you fainted." Lu Yanbei took the cup from Cheng Jue and brought it to her lips.
Su He sat up, held the cup, and drank a few sips. She indeed felt much better. Soon, the cup of sugary water was empty.
"Want some more?" Lu Yanbei took a tissue and wiped the corner of her lips.
Su He shook her head, rubbed her stomach, and said, "I'm hungry."
She hadn't eaten all day.
Lu Yanbei said "Okay." "After you change, I'll take you to eat."
Mention of clothes made Su He suddenly feel uneasy.
She was dressed like this, he must think it was strange, right?
Lu Yanbei touched the cat ears on her head, and the texture was surprisingly good. "Go change, I'll wait for you here."
Su He nodded repeatedly and quickly went into the changing room.
Five minutes later, Su He walked out in a white linen dress. The makeup on her face was also removed, leaving only a clean face.
"Come here." Lu Yanbei slowly stood up and extended his hand to her.
Su He was stunned, not understanding.
Cheng Jue whispered, "The boss is in a bad mood, don't make him wait."
Su He said "Oh" and walked over, stuffing a miniature doll into his hand. "This is for you. Squeeze it, it's very stress-relieving."
Lu Yanbei: ...
After Lu Yanbei and his group left, the people in the lounge came back to life.
Seeing Lu Yanbei lower his stance to coax the young girl, everyone present was astonished, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Was this still the Young Master Yan they knew?
Had he been possessed by something unclean!

As dusk deepened, the night curtain slowly descended.
In a restaurant by the river in S City, the lights were brilliant.
Su He blew in the river breeze while enjoying the food, her chopsticks never stopping. Lu Yanbei, sitting opposite her, sipped his red wine in small sips, not touching much of the food.
"Aren't you eating?" Su He, halfway through her meal, finally noticed something was wrong with him.
Lu Yanbei glanced at the dishes on the table and said, "I ate some on the plane, I'm not hungry yet."
"I'm sorry, I forgot to report my itinerary to you." Su He lowered her eyes guiltily and asked.
"Just happened to be here to discuss a project." Lu Yanbei's scolding words turned into something else.
"Are you done with your business?" Su He blinked and said.
"Mm, almost." He leaned back lazily in his chair, his thin-rimmed glasses hiding the sharpness in his eyes.
Su He breathed a sigh of relief.
She secretly glanced at her phone. There was still more than an hour left, so she should have time to get to the airport. "That... I booked a ticket for tonight, economy class..."
Cheng Jue, eating at a nearby table, heard Su He's words and couldn't help but feel sorry for his boss. "Madam, why don't you stay a night before returning? Mr. Lu just flew back from abroad and immediately..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yanbei's sharp gaze flew towards him.
Su He poked the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks and said in a small voice, "I have an event tomorrow morning..."
Lu Yanbei choked for a moment, but his expression remained calm. "Cheng Jue, change your flight to the same one as Madam. And also, upgrade Madam to business class."
Although Cheng Jue was worried about his boss's health, considering his resolute nature, he could only agree.
An hour later, Su He and her entourage arrived at the airport. Three hours later, the plane landed steadily in B City. They returned to Yujing Huating past midnight.
Su He's little head swayed, drowsy and half-asleep.
Lu Yanbei had wanted to carry her upstairs, but his stomach had been uncomfortable, so he had to wake her up. "We're home, get out of the car."
Su He rubbed her eyes. The familiar environment made her spirits lift a little.
Back upstairs, Lu Yanbei used up his last ounce of strength and slumped onto the sofa.
Su He, only then realizing his abnormal complexion, finally remembered to care. "Are you not feeling well anywhere?"
Lu Yanbei lifted his eyelids and placed his left hand on his lower abdomen.
Su He bit her lip, turned, and went to get the medicine box. "Your stomach is uncomfortable, why didn't you rest properly at home and run all the way to S City..."
"You can't always take medicine, you need to take care of yourself." As she took out the pills, she handed him a cup of water.
Lu Yanbei obediently swallowed the pills, and the discomfort in his stomach finally eased.
"I was actually lying to you. I haven't eaten a single bite since last night," Lu Yanbei said pitifully, looking at Su He who was tidying the medicine box.
Su He's eyes widened. "You..."
"I've only slept a little over ten hours in these five days, I'm so sleepy..." Before she could scold him, Lu Yanbei weakly closed his eyes.
Su He: ...
Perhaps it was because she was home, or perhaps because she was by his side, Lu Yanbei quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Listening to his steady breathing, Su He felt helpless. "He's asleep already?"
But the sofa was so narrow, he must be uncomfortable sleeping there.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to move him.
Su He hesitated for a moment, then went back to the room to get a blanket. She gently covered him with it. Staring at his sleeping profile, Su He was lost in thought for a moment.
He was truly handsome, the kind who never tired of looking at. Coupled with his aloof demeanor and perfect physique, he was a masterpiece of creation. Anyone who saw him would find it hard not to be moved.
Undeniably, Su He also had a good impression of him.
However, this slight good impression was not enough to make her lose her reason.
Su He stared at him for a while, and after admiring him enough, she quietly stepped forward, took off his glasses, and placed them on the coffee table nearby. This way, he should be able to sleep more comfortably.
She thought to herself.
After doing all this, just as Su He was about to go to her room to take a shower, she heard Lu Yanbei mumble something in his sleep.
"A miu..." His voice was deep, slightly hoarse.
At first, Su He didn't hear very clearly, so she leaned closer.
"A miu~"
"A miu, don't leave me..."
This name... made Su He's heart contract sharply. Somewhere deep in her heart, it also caused a chain reaction, creating ripples.
