Chapter 445 Interlocking Fingers
They are usually very busy and rarely have time to pick up their children.
Most of the time, it's Fenghua who picks Huanhuan up from school and takes her to school.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng pulled the person into his arms and held him tightly.
He gently tickled her waist with his fingertips, his tone suggestive: "Since you can't sleep, let's exercise a bit, move around, and you'll naturally fall asleep when you're tired."
Shen Li looked at his slowly approaching face, her eyes filled with panic.
She quickly raised her hands to cover his chest, saying urgently, "No, no, we're at the company! What if someone sees us? And... and I didn't bring a change of clothes!"
Lu Cheng chuckled softly, reached out and took her hand.
She gently placed the clothes in her palm, her tone laced with a hint of slyness: "Don't worry, no one will see. The wardrobe on the left is full of your clothes, all prepared in advance by me, in various styles."
Shen Li's eyes widened in disbelief.
She immediately realized what was happening and said angrily, "Lu Cheng! You planned this all along, didn't you? You deliberately tricked me into coming to the company!"
Lu Cheng didn't refute, but chuckled softly, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.
The air was filled with a sweet, triumphant scent, as if a conspiracy had succeeded.
The two cuddled for half an hour, and Shen Li was indeed tired. She leaned against Lu Cheng's chest and fell asleep without realizing it.
When she woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
She quietly got up, walked out of the break room, and saw a department manager standing in front of his desk.
He reported to Lu Cheng with a respectful and meticulous expression.
The manager noticed Shen Li's presence and glanced at her instinctively.
His gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he hurriedly looked away.
His heart skipped a beat—he really hadn't expected that the president's wife would actually be in the office, and that she would be so gentle and charming.
Lu Cheng seemed to have gotten used to all of this, his gaze still fixed on the report in his hand.
He said in a calm tone, "Alright, I've reviewed the report. Revise your proposal again and send it to me before you leave work this afternoon. You can go now."
The company leaders, who usually didn't dare to enter General Manager Lu's office, all mustered up their courage and came up, eager to catch a glimpse of his wife's beautiful face.
The manager quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Lu."
After saying that, he quickly turned and left the office, afraid that staying even a second longer would disturb the two of them.
Lu Cheng got up, went to the tea room, poured himself a glass of warm water, and then quickly walked back.
He handed it to Shen Li, his tone gentle: "Awake? Here, get up and drink a glass of warm water first to soothe your throat. You just woke up, don't catch a cold."
Shen Li took the water glass, nodded gently, sipped the warm water, and said softly, "Okay, thank you, Second Brother."
Looking at her obedient appearance, Lu Cheng's eyes were full of smiles: "Sit over here for a while. I'll finish what I'm doing and then take you on a tour of the company so you can get familiar with the environment."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li's face immediately fell.
She quickly shook her head: "I don't want to go, it's too much trouble, and I'm not interested."
Lu Cheng, however, brooked no refusal and reached out to ruffle her hair.
His tone carried a hint of assertiveness, yet also a touch of doting: "No, you have to go. I want everyone in my company to know what my wife looks like, and to know that you are the apple of my eye."
Shen Li rolled her eyes inwardly.
He thought to himself: Nobody believes your reason. You're just trying to show off and let everyone know that I'm yours.
That way, when she's seen outside, everyone will know she's Mrs. Lu.
In the afternoon, Lu Cheng indeed put down his work.
Holding Shen Li's hand, they strolled around the company.
Shen Li looked helpless and thought to herself: Fine, let's go shopping, but can you please stop pulling and tugging at each other all the time?
They were even holding hands, as if they wanted everyone to know how close they were.
She really didn't want to be so famous, and she didn't want to be stared at and pointed at like a gorilla whenever she went out shopping or buying things.
But Lu Cheng simply wouldn't do as she wished; no matter where he went...
They all held her hands tightly, their fingers intertwined, their strength gentle yet firm, their eyes filled with undisguised doting affection, completely unconcealed as the employees secretly observed and gossiped.
Shen Li's cheeks flushed slightly as he held her hand, a mixture of helplessness and shyness on her face.
Yet she couldn't help feeling a sweet warmth in her heart—this man, though domineering, always showed her all his favoritism.
Shen Li sighed helplessly, but couldn't help but smile slightly—oh well, let him have his way, since she just happens to fall for his tricks.
Lu Cheng didn't really intend to take her to see all sixty-six floors.
He simply held her hand and walked around the core office area on the top floor and down to the next floor. Most of the departments were ones he frequented. This fulfilled his wish of "letting everyone know her" without making her feel too tired.
He knew perfectly well that if he were to walk through every floor of this sixty-plus-story building, let alone with Shen Li just recovered...
Even for him, it would take some effort, not to mention that it would make her legs weak and unable to walk.
Even though they had only walked around a few floors, the secretaries noticed as soon as they came out of the office that Mrs. Lu had changed her clothes!
Just moments ago she was wearing a gentle, light-colored dress, but now she's changed into a loose, comfortable off-white knit sweater and jeans. Her long hair is casually tied back, giving her a more relaxed and lively look, while her eyes and brows remain charming and captivating.
Suppressing their curiosity, everyone looked at each other.
My gossipy nature started burning again, and we secretly exchanged glances.
There was much speculation, but no one dared to step forward and ask any more questions—after all, President Lu's aura was undeniable, and no one dared to offend him easily.
Shen Li was completely unaware of these undercurrents. She was only held tightly by Lu Cheng's hand, occasionally glancing curiously at the busy employees around her, with a faint blush on her face.
Before he knew it, it was 4:30. Lu Cheng glanced at his watch, then stopped.
He lowered his head and ruffled Shen Li's hair: "Come on, I'll take you to pick Huanhuan up from school."
The two walked downstairs side by side and headed straight for the underground parking garage. Behind them were two tall, stern-looking bodyguards who followed at a distance that neither disturbed them nor failed to protect them.
After getting into the car, Lu Cheng told the driver to drive, while he sat in the back seat with Shen Li.
He gently put his arm around her shoulder, letting her lean against him, and said softly, "Are you tired? Lean against me for a bit, I'll wake you when we get there."
Shen Li gently shook her head, snuggled closer to him, and whispered, "I'm not tired, I'm just a little curious to see what Huanhuan's expression will be when she sees me."
Huanhuan attends a prestigious private elementary school, which is a branch school specially opened by Lu Cheng.
The schools he founded offer top-tier facilities nationwide, solely to protect the safety of the children and provide them with a safe and high-quality learning environment.
In Lu Cheng's eyes, the safety of the children is always the top priority. Only when Huanhuan is studying in a school under his control can he truly feel at ease and not worry about her being bullied or wronged at school.
