I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 33 Jealousy
"Okay, I see, Mr. Lu, thank you very much for taking care of the hot pot for me!" Zhou Chenyu was still very polite.

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou. I'm also helping Han Qingyue. She's too busy, unlike me who has a lot of free time all day." Lu Siqing said sarcastically.

As the saying goes, when rivals meet, jealousy sets in. Even though the two appeared polite and courteous on the surface, Han Qingyue could sense the unmistakable tension. Zhou Chenyu quickly ended the video chat.

Han Qingyue went to get her phone, but was grabbed by Lu Siqing. She lost her balance and almost sat on his lap.

"What are you doing?" Han Qingyue frowned.

"Video chat with him while I'm away?" Lu Siqing asked bluntly.

"He said he wanted to watch hotpot, so I video chatted with him." Han Qingyue said truthfully.

"Look at the hot pot? Don't you know the hot pot is not there? Didn't you see me bringing the hot pot out?" Lu Siqing's expression revealed obvious suspicion.

"I...maybe I was too focused and didn't notice it. But later Liu Bowen told me and I remembered it," Han Qingyue explained.

"Han Qingyue, your lying is so unskillful! And are you stupid? You think Zhou Chenyu really wants to watch hot pot, and the person he wants to watch is you!"

The two looked at each other closely. For the first time, Lu Siqing did not show his usual provocation and joking. Instead, he had a serious face and an aggressive gaze.

"Lu Siqing, I've already explained it to you, believe it or not! Besides, why should I explain it to you?" Being wronged was really unpleasant. Han Qingyue didn't want to talk to him anymore. She took her cell phone, picked up the hot pot and walked towards the door.

"Don't go, I'll go!" Lu Siqing quickly stood up and walked out the door before Han Qingyue.

Angry, helpless...all kinds of complicated feelings instantly hit Han Qingyue.

He'd just video chatted with Zhou Chenyu for a while, and because he wanted to watch hot pot, and he was so angry? Besides, who was he to her? What right did he have to control her?
Han Qingyue simply ignored him, holding the hot pot and looking at the report just sent by the Finance Department.

The door was not closed, and Liu Bowen came in timidly and asked, "Boss, did you have a fight with Mr. Lu?"

"He's crazy!" Han Qingyue said unhappily.

"Because you were on video with Mr. Zhou?"

"Yes, he thinks Zhou Chenyu wants to see me!" She assumed Liu Bowen had heard it, so she didn't want to hide it, not to mention that Liu Bowen was her best male friend.

"Boss, Mr. Lu must have misunderstood. Let me help you explain." Liu Bowen volunteered.

"Explain? Why should I explain to him? No need to explain! Get me a bottle of ice water. I need to cool down."

"Okay." Liu Bowen agreed and went out. He knew his boss's temper and there was no point in saying more.

Coming out of the hotel, Lu Siqing got into the car like a gust of wind. The moment he started the car, he felt a little blocked in his heart. It turned out that he would be sad if he lost his temper with her.

He felt a little regretful that he had been too impulsive and had accused her so directly. Thinking about it calmly, he knew that Han Qingyue was not to blame. Even if she knew Zhou Chenyu's purpose in approaching her, she couldn't refuse his request to see her son.

But he had already left the house, so he couldn't just go back in disgrace. After thinking for a moment, he started the car.

In the evening, Han Qingyue finished her work and was about to go home when her phone rang with a message. She picked up her phone and saw it was from Lu Siqing: "Qingyue, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive at lunch. I'm at your house and have made a table full of delicious food. I'll be waiting for you when you get back!" In addition to his apology, he also sent a photo. The table was already set with roses, red wine, and tableware.

Han Qingyue didn't reply, but her anger had subsided by half. Forget it, she was too lazy to argue with him.

Han Qingyue returned home. The kitchen light was on. She changed her shoes and walked in. She found the large kitchen spotlessly clean, but no one was around. Before she could turn around, a tall figure loomed over her. A familiar voice, accompanied by a warm breath, drifted into her ears: "Are you looking for me?"

Han Qingyue was stunned, and a current of electricity passed through her heart for some reason. She raised her eyes suddenly, and the deep and handsome outline came into her sight.

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for food." Han Qingyue quickly avoided his gaze.

"Qingyue, since you are looking for the food I made, does it mean that you are not angry with me anymore?" Lu Siqing leaned forward and asked with his head lowered.

"Angry? Why should I be angry with a lunatic like you?" Han Qingyue said unhappily.

"Since you are not angry anymore, sit down and eat. The dishes I cooked tonight are all your favorites!" Lu Siqing pulled over a dining chair and respectfully asked Han Qingyue to sit down. He sat opposite her.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Han Qingyue had no time to care about what happened before. She picked up a chicken wing and started eating.

"Qingyue, I was a little impulsive today, but I was just worried about you, afraid that Zhou Chenyu had bad intentions towards you. You should have noticed that he is always looking for opportunities to get close to you." Seeing Han Qingyue's expression eased, Lu Siqing said tentatively.

"That's his business and has nothing to do with me." Han Qingyue said decisively.

Lu Siqing moved forward and said slowly: "Qingyue, I have a good idea. Why don't we make it a done deal so that no one will keep you in mind." In the light from the kitchen, the usual smirk on his face was clearly visible.

"What's done?" Han Qingyue was a little confused.

"Let's be together and have a baby. Then no one will worry about you, right?" Lu Siqing suddenly looked sincere.

"Get out! Do you believe that if you say such nonsense again, I will punch you until your teeth are all gone? I don't mind helping you replace your teeth with a set of big, shiny gold teeth!" Han Qingyue raised her fist, her teeth itching with hatred.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. How come you have no sense of humor? I was just joking!" Lu Siqing whispered.

Han Qingyue glared at him, then picked up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth. After the delicious food, her mood improved a lot.

"What do you think about me opening a branch in the mountains?" Han Qingyue suddenly asked.

"What, you want to open a branch?" Lu Siqing was surprised.

Han Qingyue put down her fork and said slowly, "Actually, I've had this idea for a while, but I wanted to wait until the branch down the mountain was stable. However, my father suggested that we hold off on it. Right now, my main problem is funding, so if I open a branch, I might look for partners."

"Partner? You're not looking for Zhou Chenyu, are you?" Lu Siqing interrupted casually.

"How do you know?" Han Qingyue was surprised.

"It's easy to find out. Among the people you know, Zhou Chenyu is the richest one, and as far as I know, their group has a real estate company under its umbrella." Lu Siqing explained proudly to Han Qingyue.

"Okay, you're awesome. But I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later!" Han Qingyue continued eating.

Lu Siqing felt a pang of resentment. Han Qingyue was kind, resilient, capable, intelligent, independent, and an absolute beauty. These qualities made her incredibly attractive. He thought that if Han Qingyue and Zhou Chenyu collaborated, their chances of interacting would increase, which made him feel insecure.

"Lu Siqing, what bad things are you thinking about now? Your eyes are wide open!" Han Qingyue asked.
