Chapter 131: She Can Wait

“Son, it’s an emergency. I know it’s been hard on you.”

Lu Qingye was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask why, an endless report came from the other side.

Lu Qingye knew very well that it was Secretary Zheng’s voice.

Because Madam Lu saw Secretary Zheng coming to the office with a bunch of things, she had no choice but to call Lu Qingye in advance.

The phone call Lu Qingye received earlier was similar.

Madam Lu could not understand their professional jargon, and she was afraid that she would not be able to answer Secretary Zheng’s questions later.

About two minutes later, Secretary Zheng finally finished explaining next month’s event plan.

After that, Secretary Zheng asked politely, “Madam Chairman, what do you think of the arrangements over there?”

Madam Lu smiled awkwardly. Then, she picked up the phone on the table and turned on the speaker. “Let’s hear your CEO Lu’s opinion.”

After a while, Lu Qingye’s voice came from the phone. “Ask your vice president to make the arrangements. Also, you don’t have to report this to my mother in the future.”

Secretary Zheng: “Alright, CEO Lu. I’ll take note next time.”

Regarding event plans, it was only a matter of providing approval or suggestions, but as long as Secretary Zheng appeared, Madam Lu would panic.

Because she did not know what kind of problem she would face, she would call Lu Qingye time and time again.

It had only been one morning in Wei City, but Madam Lu had already called him four times. One could imagine how terrifying this was.

Lu Qingye’s voice sounded again. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave. Let my mother rest for a while.”

So that she would also let him rest for a while.

“Will do.”

Madam Lu watched as Secretary Zheng left. She picked up her phone and couldn’t help but complain to Lu Qingye, “Son, I’m really too tired. When are you coming back?”

Lu Qingye was silent for a moment. He covered the phone microphone with his hand and placed the phone slightly further away. Then, he looked up at his assistant, who was driving, and asked, “When will the next batch of goods arrive?”

Assistant: “Earliest, the end of this month.”

“Okay,” he said flatly.

As the project here was a little long, Lu Qingye could not decide when to go back.

After he finished chatting with his assistant, Lu Qingye put the phone back to his ear and said slowly, “Please wait a little longer. I really can’t leave for the time being.”

When Madam Lu heard this, she sighed. Lu Qingye could feel her disappointment.

“I don’t care, but can your wife wait?”

“…” His mother’s words instantly stumped him.

Lu Qingye’s father had been out for half a year. As long as Madam Lu missed him, she could buy a ticket and fly over at any time. However, his and Meng Chuyuan’s situation was different.

Since the start, there was no wedding experience in their union.

They collected the marriage certificate and he brought her home to meet his parents after work. They had a simple meal.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

At the mention of Meng Chuyuan, he was stunned and did not know what to do.

After a long while, Lu Qingye asked, “What did she say to you?”

“What could she have told me?” Madam Lu didn’t know what he was referring to and casually replied, “A few days ago, she did ask me how to be a good mother. I thought she was pregnant.”

“…” Hearing this, Lu Qingye was a little shocked.

Why did she suddenly ask such a question?

Seeing that Lu Qingye didn’t say anything, she continued, “But she’s quite concerned about Ling Ling. She’ll send her to school after cooking and even rented a school district house for her. I went over to take a look after I got back home yesterday. It’s not bad.”

In her eyes, Lu Qianling had also become rebellious now. She was always speaking up for Meng Chuyuan and was just short of constantly mentioning her name.

Lu Qingye hummed softly and said in a low and hoarse voice, “She’s a good person. She cares about everyone.”

“I don’t think she treats you very well. You’ve been out so long, but I haven’t seen her call you.”

Madam Lu sighed softly and felt that she had been a little nosy. She quickly added, “Forget it. You two can settle your own matters.”

Meng Chuyuan could get along with her now. At least for now, she felt that Meng Chuyuan was alright. It was not bad to raise her as a daughter.

“You don’t have to worry about us.”

For the past month, he was stuck at work all day long and it seemingly made him care less for the people around him.

However, Meng Chuyuan was also recording a variety show now. The two of them were busy with their own things and probably had no time to care about other things.

“You don’t need me to worry. You already have a family and a career. I’ll call your grandmother over next week for a meal.” Madam Lu smiled. “You probably don’t know yet, right? Your wife is quite good at cooking.”

Every time she came back, Meng Chuyuan would cook. She would prepare breakfast for everyone.

Madam Lu had wanted to show off in front of Lu Qingye when she mentioned this to him, but before she could praise Meng Chuyuan’s cooking, she was interrupted.

“I know,” Lu Qingye said calmly.

Because he had eaten it before.

“Huh?” Madam Lu almost thought that she had heard wrongly. However, after thinking about it carefully, they were husband and wife, so it didn’t seem strange for her to know about this.

After a while, Madam Lu changed the topic. “She even taught me how to knit a scarf. I’ve already knitted one. I’ll pack it up and send it to your father.”

Although Lu Qingye was already used to it, he couldn’t help but remind her,

“Mom, he doesn’t need a scarf over there.”

Madam Lu suddenly clicked her tongue. “Why are you such a wet blanket? So what if he can’t use it? Can’t I send it over even if he can’t use it? I knitted it piece by piece. Even in the summer, your father is willing to wear it.”

Lu Qingye: ‘

Not long after, Madam Lu’s voice sounded in his ear again. “I understand. You need one over there, don’t you?”

It was indeed quite cold here. The clothes he had brought with him could no longer be worn.

But so what…

He had to continue living here.

Madam Lu said bluntly, “Isn’t that simple? Get your wife to knit one for you.

She’ll definitely knit it well. Just mention it to her and it’ll be done in minutes.”

Meng Chuyuan knew how to knit scarfs. She was also very quick with it. A scarf was simply too easy for her.

Faced with his mother’s words, Lu Qingye did not say a word.

He looked out the window. It was snowing heavily. Warm yellow street lights shone on the car window. The treetops were covered in snow. Young couples were strolling in pairs along the street.

At this moment, his heart was cold. He could not feel the lively atmosphere at all.

Madam Lu said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t be embarrassed.

What’s there to be embarrassed about talking to your wife?”

Coincidentally, the car stopped at this moment.

The assistant turned to look at Lu Qingye and said calmly, “CEO Lu, we’re here.” Lu Qingye slowly retracted his gaze and hummed softly. “Mom, I’m at the

hotel. Let’s hang up here..”
