Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 186 already makes it quite clear.

"Mom, we're really not in a rush right now." Lu Chuan's eyes revealed a hint of composure and calmness after hearing his mother's words.

Suddenly, he reached out his right hand and gently put his arm around Shen Jia's soft, boneless shoulder.

Shen Jia was clearly caught off guard by the sudden embrace. Her delicate body trembled violently, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

However, she quickly came to her senses in an instant, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she gently bit her lip, but did not break free from Lu Chuan's arm.

At that moment, Chen Fang, who was outside the door, happened to witness what was happening inside the house.

His once calm face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

Enraged, he clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. "Damn it, Lu Chuan! From now on, we're no longer brothers!!"

Chen Fang was furious and wanted nothing more than to rush into the room and beat Lu Chuan to a pulp.

But the last shred of reason told him that he must not act so impulsively.

Despite his extreme anger, he suppressed the urge and stood motionless.

However, the conversation inside the room did not stop because of Chen Fang's emotional fluctuations outside the door.

With a smile on her face, Lu's mother slowly said, "Well, my child, I'm afraid I won't live to see you get married and start your own family. I'm afraid I'll never be able to witness your happy and fulfilling life after marriage..."

His words revealed endless regret and reluctance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan's heart tightened, and he quickly comforted her, "Mom, you'll definitely live to be a hundred, and you'll definitely see me get married."

"Yes, Auntie, don't worry, Lu Chuan is right, you will be fine."

"Yeah, good."

After quite a while, Lu Chuan and Shen Jia slowly walked out of the hospital.

As soon as they stepped outside, they bumped into Chen Fang, who was guarding the door.

"Chen Fang, what are you doing here?" Lu Chuan asked, his face full of doubt.

The moment Chen Fang saw Lu Chuan's face, an unnamed fire ignited within him: "Hmph! The hospital isn't yours to run. You're allowed to come, but I'm not?" he retorted with utter contempt.

And you know what? This private hospital is indeed a property under the Lu family.

However, Chen Fang didn't care about any of that. He glared at Lu Chuan several times with his resentful eyes.

Before Lu Chuan could even refute, Chen Fang suddenly grabbed Shen Jia's wrist and pulled her outside without saying a word. "Shen Jia, I need to talk to you about something. Come out with me!"

And so, Shen Jia was forcibly dragged out of the hospital by Chen Fang. All the way there, she looked completely bewildered, utterly clueless about what was going on.

After walking a distance, Shen Jia finally lost her temper, forcefully shaking off Chen Fang's hand that was tightly gripping hers, and angrily questioned, "Chen Fang, is there something wrong with you?!"

"Shen Jia, are you really with Lu Chuan?" Chen Fang asked.

"otherwise."

"No way, Shen Jia, have you lost your mind?"

"You're the one who's out of your mind, and you're sick in the head!!" Shen Jia said speechlessly after hearing his words.

Seeing this, Chen Fang patiently explained, "Lu Chuan is not right for you! You and I grew up together since childhood, don't you believe me? Jiajia, listen to me, Lu Chuan is not right for you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia frowned slightly. "Chen Fang, who are you to me? Whether Lu Chuan and I are a good match is not for you to decide."

"Do you know him? Does he know you? You get stomach aches every time you skip breakfast, you never eat onions or cilantro, you hate pears, you hate taking medicine, you suffer from menstrual cramps for a long time every time your period starts, you often have cold hands and feet, and you care a lot about your appearance. Does Lu Chuan know any of this?!"

Chen Fang finished speaking in one breath, and Shen Jia, who was in front of him, looked at him, clearly shocked by his sudden string of words.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and everything around seemed to become unimportant, with only Chen Fang's voice, tinged with anger and concern, echoing in the air.

After Chen Fang spoke, he suddenly realized what he had just said.

He looked at Shen Jia in a flustered manner, stammering as he tried to explain, "Shen Jia, I...I didn't mean that...I just..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Shen Jia seemed to come to her senses and quickly interrupted him, saying, "I...I have something to do, I'll go first."

After saying that, she turned and left in a hurry, her steps appearing somewhat unsteady.

Chen Fang wanted to say something more, but Shen Jiaren had already run far away.

"Why did I have to say it all?! Seriously." Chen Fang smacked his head in frustration, then left.

The next day, Guan Yu got up early.

"Why are you up so early? Hmm? Sleep a little longer." Jing Yi noticed Guan Yu getting up, opened her eyes, and asked gently.

"Ayi, I have to get up. Grandpa and the others are still here! I don't want to leave a bad impression on them," Guan Yu said as she got up.

Hearing his words, Jing Yi smiled. "Ha, it's alright, they don't mind."

"But I mind!!"

“They returned to City A last night,” Jing Yi said softly.

Guan Yu, who was putting on her coat, was taken aback and asked with a puzzled look, "Huh? They went back last night??"

"Ah."

Jing Yi also got up, dressed, and slowly walked to Guan Yu's side, hugged her, and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

Guan Yu gently patted Jing Yi's back and said reproachfully, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Jing Yi looked up, smiled, and said, "I just wanted you to stay with me a little longer."

After spending some time together, the two went to wash up.

At noon, Jing Yi took Guan Yu to Xingyi Group and went straight to the upper floors.

However, only Guan Yu was sitting in Jing Yi's seat in the office, playing King of Glory on Jing Yi's tablet, while Jing Yi was in a meeting in the conference room.

"That concludes our design department's report for this month..." said Li, the deputy director of the design department, his voice trembling.

Normally, it's Minister Shen Jia who reports at times like this; this is the first time he's done this.

After listening, Jing Yi frowned slightly and said with displeasure, "Where is Shen Jia!"

"Minister Shen...she didn't come today."

"Your absence is your excuse for making mistakes? In short, it's a lack of attention to detail in the design elements, severely impacting the quality and professionalism of the design. Don't you even understand the most basic knowledge?!" Jing Yi shouted coldly.

As soon as Jing Yi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly became tense.

Vice Minister Li was startled, his face instantly turning red. "Okay...we'll go down and revise it."

Jing Yi ignored him and turned to Chen Fang, "Chen Fang, you'll be in charge of the Aerospace Group's project."

"Okay, sure," Chen Fang replied while quickly working on the computer.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After the meeting, Chen Fang approached Jing Yi.

"Brother Yi, I have some thoughts about the Aerospace Group project that I'd like to discuss with you privately."

Jing Yi nodded. The two walked into a small conference room.

"Actually, I'm not feeling well today, which might affect the project's progress," Chen Fang said, head down.

Jing Yi raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, then told Jing Yi what had happened yesterday.

Jing Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Don't bring your feelings into your work. But you're pretty bold, you just said it if you liked Shen Jia, are you out of your mind?"

"How could I like her..." Chen Fang said in a softer voice.

"Alright, go and hand over your work to Lu Chuan," Jing Yi said with a helpless expression.

"I'm not going!"

"Chen Fang, you're giving me too much credit!! If you don't go, you'll have to take responsibility yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Yi ignored him and walked out of the small conference room.
