Chapter 374
Huo Yunting was still in the car when he made the call . He went quiet for a long while, agreeing silently that Lu Zhaoyang would indeed hate him for it .
What kind of mother was Xue Yuming to use her daughter in this situation?
Lu Zhaoyang would definitely leave her when it came to it .
Huo Yunting had always been careful about this .
“Xue Yuming, if you so much as touch a hair of my mother again, you will know exactly what I am capable of . I assure you that you will die a horrible death . ”
Sweat beaded on Xue Yuming’s forehead . She was about to say something when the call ended .
Huo Yunting was gone . She heaved a deep sigh of relief .
She had been too careless in hiring someone useless to carry out the job .
She must ensure to be more secretive next time…
Xue Yuming put down the phone . She pressed a tissue against her wound and went downstairs .
(At Ge Yu’s office . )
Xiang Jinxi came out of the meeting . When he walked past Lu Zhaoyang’s office, he was surprise that the woman was there .
Didn’t she apply for leave today?
Xiang Jinxi made a U-turn and walked into her office with an unreadable expression .
She did not react even when he stood in front of her, as though she did not hear him .
“Something on your mind, Lu Zhaoyang?”

Lu Zhaoyang looked up abruptly at Xiang Jinxi . His face was only a few inches away from hers .
She stood up straight and shook her head, and then nodded again . “I was lost in thought for a moment . I’m sorry, Mr President, I’ll get back to work now . ”
She had been thinking about Qiu Ran and Huo Yunting . She considered visiting Qiu Ran but then decided that she should avoid making things more complicated .
Then, she recalled that Huo Yunting was injured . Perhaps he would still go to work despite his injury?
Soon, she was lost in her thoughts .
“You can excuse yourself if you took leave . I am not that strict of an employer . ” He said calmly and then left her office .
Lu Zhaoyang was now used to his demeanor . The man was even colder and detached than Huo Yunting .
She forced herself to work to avoid ruminating on her troubles once more .

Some time later, she heard footsteps approaching her office . She looked up and saw Qin An bringing a cute little cake box into her office .
“Assistant Lu, this is from the president . I hear that desserts can cheer people up . ” Qin An said with a smile .
“Please pass my thanks to the president,” she said to Qin An, who was already on his way out .
Perhaps Xiang Jinxi was not as heartless as she thought .
She opened the box and saw a black chocolate cake in the shape of a swan . Since she skipped breakfast that day, the cake had made a timely appearance .
After finishing it, Lu Zhaoyang continued working . Since Xiang Jinxi was in the office and she had some documents for him to sign, she quickly prepared them and went to the president’s office .
When she went in, Xiang Jinxi looked like he was just about to leave .
The president saw her and sat down again . He took his pen and said, “Come . ”

She spread the documents on his desk and watched him sign them with elegant strokes .
“Thanks for the cake, I feel a lot better now,” she said with a thin smile .
Xiang Jin replied without looking up, “If you want to thank me, then let’s have dinner together . ”
Lu Zhaoyang was taken aback . What did dinner had anything to do with being grateful? Besides, she had to look after Huo Yunting .
She was still struggling inside when Xiang Jinxi spoke again .
“Today is my birthday . ”
“… Ah . ”
Was that his birthday cake she had eaten?
