Rebirth: The paranoid boss has a crush on me

Lu Yanren went back, but he didn't meet the person he wanted to see.

He looked at his watch expressionlessly. It was past the usual dinner time, but the house seemed unusually empty.

He looked around the living room again, then took off his watch and handed it to the housekeeper, saying in a leisurely tone, "She hasn't come back yet?"

The housekeeper carefully took the expensive watch. Unable to figure out Lu Yan's thoughts, he answered with great concentration, "Madam hasn't come yet. Shall I call and ask?"

Lu Yan didn't say yes or no, and asked again, "Where is the child?"

The housekeeper was unsure and could only follow Lu Yan's words and answer, "I'm practicing calligraphy."

Lu Yan warmed a glass of milk, went to little Rick's study, knocked on the door, and walked in slowly after getting permission.

This study is the same size as Lu Yan's study, but the decoration inside is completely different. The light-colored wooden furniture is bright and elegant. A Pekingese dog lies on the wool carpet playing with a ball of yarn. The table tailor-made for the child is covered with rice paper, and three or five strokes of the inkstone form words.

Little Rick's ink and wash drawings were barely passable, not even rudimentary.

Lu Yan put the milk next to the child's table and asked, "Do you have a calligraphy teacher?"

Rick Jr., “Not yet.”

Lu Yan silently noted this down, and then said, "Let's go have dinner first, and practice later."

Little Rick, "I've already eaten with Cheng Boqiao and the others."

Lu Yan didn't expect that he came back just for dinner, and no one was waiting for him. His expression remained unchanged, but his aura was obviously lower.

Little Rick didn't understand the adults' thoughts. He put the brush on the jade pen holder, took out a small medal from the side, and said proudly, "I won!"

Blood relationship is really a wonderful thing. Seeing the child happy, Lu Yan's mood also improved.

He didn't forget the purpose of his visit, "Have you shared this with your mother?"

Little Rick, "I'll tell Mom when she gets home!"

Lu Yan remained calm, "Where did she go?"

Little Rick was very happy after defeating Cheng Boqiao. He played with his little gold medal and babbled to Lu Yan, "Let's go out for dinner!"

Lu Yan's eyes passed over the gold medal in the child's hand, his expression unclear. He maintained his father's dignity in front of the child and rubbed Little Rick's head. "You practice calligraphy first, I'll go eat."

Straighten up and leave.

The man who said he was going to eat did not actually go to eat. Instead, he went downstairs and found the housekeeper.

The housekeeper had just called Fei Linlin and wanted to report to Lu Yan, "Madam said she was having dinner outside and would be home at ten o'clock in the evening."

Lu Yan didn't react after hearing this. The housekeeper's heart began to tighten, wondering if he was doing something unnecessary. Perhaps the master didn't mean for him to call the madam.

After a moment of silence, the butler adopted a more cautious attitude, watching the person's heart with his eyes and nose.

Lu Yan showed no expression, as if he hadn't heard that sentence, and said calmly, "Arrange a calligraphy teacher for little Rick."

The butler immediately said, "Okay."

Then he asked, "Would you like some food?"

The housekeeper has been with Lu Yan for many years, from the time when Lu Yan was alone to the time when Lu Yan got married. Later, Lu Yan became alone again. Now as a family of three, their life finally seems a little more complete.

But I didn't expect that even though we are a family of three, I still have to eat alone. How is this different from being single?

Lu Yan, "No need, just help me get the book she often reads."

The housekeeper did as he was told.

When I came down, I saw Lu Yan taking medicine. The medicine bottle was casually placed on the coffee table. He only took a small sip of the warm water handed to him by the servant.

The butler was already old, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene. He handed over the herbal medicine without stopping.

The ancient herbal book carries the lingering charm of history. When turning the pages, it seems as if one can travel through 500 years of time and meet the people of that time. It tells us what kind of passion one must have to do this thing year after year for decades.

Lu Yan could only roughly understand some of it. Unlike those who have studied it for a lifetime, his understanding of herbs remained at the most superficial level.

The housekeeper didn't understand what was so interesting about such a highly professional book. It would be strange for Mr. Lu, a layman, to understand it.

The cat appeared out of nowhere, walked to Lu Yan's feet with elegant kitten steps, ran to the sofa and sat there cross-legged.

When he was halfway through the book, Lu Yan suddenly looked at the clock. It was 9:30 in the evening.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Fei Linlin.

[Where?]

On the other side, Fei Linlin and his master had finished their meal, and their phones were on silent, so they did not see the message in time.

After talking about many other aspects as a prelude, Shen Kui slowly mentioned at the end, "I heard that your company was reported recently?"

Speaking of Fei Linlin, she feels upset. It took her a lot of time to cancel the engagement two days ago, and something happened at Barron Pharmaceuticals again, which made her exhausted.

When facing his seniors, Fei Linlin would not show negative emotions and would try to brush it off with one sentence, "It is a small problem, but it will not cause a big impact."

Shen Kui, "The review at T University is very strict."

This sentence seems to be incoherent, but it is actually pointing out to Fei Linlin that the report against her at the company may affect her employment.

Fei Linlin certainly knew this, but there was no way to solve the problem of Barron Pharmaceuticals in a short time. That was a problem left over from the Fei Yunzhang period, and it was not a big deal. The whistleblower was very familiar with the sleeping pill production chain within Barron Pharmaceuticals, so it might be that there was a traitor among their own people.

Shen Kui just said that how far the disciple can go depends entirely on herself.

Fei Linlin was polite and thanked his master.

Shen Kui added, "Your senior brother's accomplishments are not as good as yours. Give him more guidance after you finish handling the matter."

Fei Linlin, "Definitely."

When the master's wife called, Shen Kui happily put down his chopsticks and said, "Your master's wife called to urge me to go home."

Shen Kui stood up to answer the phone. As he expected, the person on the other end of the line was just urging him to go home. Shen Kui of course agreed without hesitation. After saying a few words, he hung up and turned around to say goodbye to Fei Linlin, "Okay, I'm going home."

"Let's go, Master. I'll take you there."

Shen Kui had a driver, so Fei Linlin just drove him to the car and then watched the Volkswagen go away.

It was also after this that Fei Linlin saw Lu Yan's message.

9:30 [Where?]

9:45 [I'll pick you up]

Fei Linlin thought it was unnecessary to trouble him to go out, and replied: [On the way back, wait for me at home]

The other party replied almost immediately, [Drive safely and don’t look at your phone]

Fei Linlin curled the corners of his lips, [OK]

When she got home, Fei Linlin drove the car to the artificial fountain in the courtyard, asked someone to park the car for her, and then she walked back quickly.

In the past, I would not be so anxious to enter the house, but if I knew someone was waiting for me, it would be easy to lose my patience, so I took off my watch, changed my shoes, and walked in in one go.
