Su Yanxi was speechless. After pursing her lips and staring at him for a few seconds, she finished the milk in her glass and turned around to go upstairs to get her bag.
When she came downstairs again, she saw that the man was putting on a suit jacket. She subconsciously looked at the navy blue striped suit she was wearing. Her red lips moved and she suddenly had the urge to change.
Previously, when she was drinking milk, she did not notice that the suit jacket on the sofa was also navy blue striped. It could almost be said to be a couple outfit.
Lu Jingyan had also noticed her clothes while Su Yanxi was feeling regretful. His eyebrows moved slightly and the corners of his lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. He buttoned his suit jacket and picked up the keys and phone on the coffee table. He said coldly, “Let’s go! I’ll send you to work.”
“Oh~!” Su Yanxi answered gloomily as she watched him walk towards the door. She tightened her grip on her bag and walked to the door to change her heels.
The two were silent the whole way. When the car arrived at the law firm, Lu Jingyan glanced sideways at her and reminded her coldly, “We’re here.”
Su Yanxi did not say anything. She only unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. When she closed the door, she thanked the person in the driver’s seat mildly before turning around and entering the law firm.

The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon. Due to the fact that the mediation lawsuit had yet to be settled, Su Yanxi and Yi Yao arrived at the hospital under the scorching sun.
The meeting room in the hospital was still filled with the same people as last time. It was just that she was missing the person she was most familiar with. From what Deputy Director Chen said, Lu Jingyan was currently in the operating room and did not have time to come.
After more than two hours of mediation, they finally reached a compromise on the compensation. After both parties signed the agreement, Su Yanxi’s mission was considered completed. The rest of the matters were handed over to Yi Yao to wrap up. She informed Deputy Director Chen briefly before leaving.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. The door opened slightly and two good-looking people in green surgical gowns entered her sight.
“Dr. Lu, it’s a good thing you’re here. If I were alone, I really wouldn’t know what to do.” The moment the elevator door opened, a gentle female voice entered the elevator.
Su Yanxi looked up at the cold and imposing figure. Her lips moved and her gaze landed on the woman standing beside him. Her eyes were full of smiles and anticipation as she stared at him. Her exquisite face had a hint of ambiguity, especially when she said those words just now. She looked more like a girl acting coquettishly to her boyfriend.
Lu Jingyan was also a little surprised when he saw Su Yanxi. However, his expression was unusually calm, and no one could see any change in his expression.
He did not respond to the woman beside him. Instead, he walked in and stood beside her. Their arms touched. Su Yanxi glanced sideways and saw the long-haired woman walk in. She glanced at her and silently stood in front of Lu Jingyan.
“Lu…¦”
“Heading back to the law firm?” Just as the long-haired woman was about to break the silence in the elevator, Lu Jingyan suddenly interrupted her coldly, his cold eyes staring at Su Yanxi’s side profile.
“Huh?” Su Yanxi looked up and met his eyes instinctively. She was stunned for two seconds before she shook her head, “It’s almost time to knock off. I won’t be going back.”
“Where are you going then?”
Su Yanxi turned to look at the woman in front of her when she felt a burning gaze filled with jealousy. She noticed that the woman was looking at her with displeasure and suspicion. A smile appeared on her face as she answered naturally, “Mo Bai said that we’ll have a barbecue tonight.”
However, after she finished speaking, Lu Jingyan did not say anything else. When they exited the elevator, Lu Jingyan suddenly reached out and pulled her back, “Wait for me in the lobby. I’m going off work soon.”
