Mr. Song, you have crossed the line.

Rong Zheng frowned. What was this person trying to do? Wasn't the commotion yesterday enough?

Lu Peichuan walked up to Rong Zheng and said, "Zhengzheng, I'm inviting you to lunch again today to apologize to you in person for what happened yesterday." He then handed her the flowers.

Rong Zheng didn't accept the flowers, and said expressionlessly, "I have lunch with my colleagues."

Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng's colleague and asked in a polite and gentle voice, "Could I borrow her for now?"

When the president of the Lu Group spoke up, how could they dare to refuse?

Besides, Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan were husband and wife before, and they all saw the news about Lu Peichuan rushing to Beijing to take care of Rong Zheng after she was injured while saving someone. And with his current behavior, it's clear that Lu Peichuan still has feelings for Rong Zheng. Perhaps the rumors online that the two will get back together are true.

How could they possibly disturb the two of them?

They all smiled and nodded, then said goodbye to Rong Zheng and told her they were leaving first.

Rong Zheng opened her mouth as if to ask them to stay, but they didn't give her a chance to speak. They said goodbye and left. She could only frown at Lu Peichuan and ask in an unhappy tone, "What exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Rong Zheng wasn't taking the flowers, Lu Peichuan stepped forward, placed them in her hand, and looked at her with a smile, "Are you sure you want to talk to me here?"

It's lunchtime now, and there are many people coming and going. It's really inconvenient to stand here and argue with him. Who knows, someone might secretly film it and upload it online.

I might as well talk things out with him this time, so he won't keep bothering me.

With that thought in mind, Rong Zheng got into his car.

Lu Peichuan started the car and drove towards the hospital entrance.

After the car had driven a short distance from the hospital, Rong Zheng turned to look at Lu Peichuan and said bluntly, "Lu Peichuan, if you still have thoughts of getting back together, I can tell you right now, I don't go back to what I didn't do."

Lu Peichuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, glanced at Rong Zheng, and said, "I know you're still angry. Let's not talk about that for now. What would you like to eat later? Chinese or Western food?"

"I won't have dinner with you. The reason I got in the car was to make things clear with you. You are Tangtang's father, and I can't change that. For Tangtang's sake, I'm willing to be friends with you. But if you have other motives, then we don't need to see each other again."

A hurt flickered in Lu Peichuan's eyes. He turned to look at Rong Zheng again. "Zhengzheng, are you really going to be so heartless to me?"

Rong Zheng remained calm. "I've made myself clear. Stop the car, I want to get out."

"Zhengzheng, we've been together for three years. I don't believe you can just let it go like that. I was wrong before. Give me another chance, and let's start over. I'll show you my changes and my sincerity."

Why can't this person understand human language?

Rong Zheng's brows furrowed with impatience. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and was slightly taken aback. It was Song Shiyan again. Had he been contacting her a bit too much these past two days?

"Whose call was it?" Lu Peichuan asked.

Rong Zheng held her phone upside down in her hand. "This is none of your business. Stop the car, I want to get out."

"Zhengzheng..."

"Stop the car!" Rong Zheng interrupted him impatiently. She didn't want to hear a single word he had to say. She grabbed the door handle and unlocked the car door. "If you don't stop the car, I'll jump out!"

Lu Peichuan frowned. "Zhengzheng, stop fooling around. It's dangerous."

What's going on?

Who's causing trouble for him?

Rong Zheng reached out and pushed the door open.

When Lu Peichuan saw that she actually dared to push open the car door, he was startled and quickly said, "I'll stop the car." He immediately turned the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Rong Zheng pushed open the car door and got out. She left the bouquet of roses that Lu Peichuan had given her on the back seat and ignored it. As she walked, she answered the phone, "Brother Yan." Her eyes were on the traffic, looking for a taxi.

"Have you eaten?" The man's deep, clear voice came through the electrical current.

Rong Zheng answered truthfully, "Not yet."

"How did the research go?"

"The dean gave prior notice, so everything went smoothly." Rong Zheng had barely finished speaking when Lu Peichuan, who had gotten out of the car and followed her, suddenly snatched her phone away. She frowned, "Why did you take my phone?"

Lu Peichuan glanced at the caller ID, a knowing look flashing in his eyes. He put the phone to his ear. "Big brother, this is Peichuan. Zhengzheng and I are busy right now..."

When Rong Zheng saw that he had snatched her phone to make a call without her consent, she was already very unhappy about being forced into the car in public. Now, her anger surged up.

She immediately tried to grab her phone, shouting, "Give me my phone!"

Lu Peichuan avoided Rong Zheng's hand, said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Big brother, let's talk later." Then he hung up the phone and returned it to Rong Zheng.

Anger flared in Rong Zheng's eyes. "Lu Peichuan, you're really annoying!"

Lu Peichuan felt that Rong Zheng was deliberately saying hurtful things to provoke him, so he coaxed her gently, "Zhengzheng, it's very hot outside. How about we talk about it in the car?"

Rong Zheng ignored him and saw a taxi approaching, so she prepared to go over and flag it down.

Lu Peichuan grabbed Rong Zheng's wrist and turned to walk towards the car.

"Let go of me!" Rong Zheng tried to break free, but Lu Peichuan held her too tightly. She couldn't break free and was forced to follow him for a few steps. Then, Rong Zheng raised her hand and bit Lu Peichuan's hand hard.

Lu Peichuan, wincing in pain, loosened his grip. Seeing Rong Zheng's stubbornness, he decided to go along with her and ask directly, "Do you like Big Brother?"

"Are you sick in the head?" Rong Zheng looked at Lu Peichuan in disbelief. How could he say such a thing? Had his head been squeezed in a door?

"Yesterday you had dinner with me, and when you answered your brother's call, you deliberately avoided me. Just now, you did the same thing. Aren't you trying to tell me you like him?"

What kind of brain circuit is this?

"If you're sick, go get treatment."

Rong Zheng was halfway through her sentence when a sudden inspiration struck her. Since Lu Peichuan kept pestering her, why didn't she go along with what he said and admit it? That way, she could put an end to his thoughts, and since he was wary of Song Shiyan, he definitely wouldn't dare to pester her anymore.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly stopped herself from speaking, changing her words to, "Yes, I like him. I've already let go of the past and have a new relationship, so please don't bother me anymore."

Although he knew she was lying, Lu Peichuan still felt uncomfortable hearing her say she liked another man. "When did you fall for him?"

Shouldn't he be angry and leave?

Why does this person act completely unpredictably?

Rong Zheng hesitated for a moment, "...This is my private matter, why should I tell you?"

"Does your older brother know that you like him?"

"...My affairs are none of your business."

"How about I call him now and tell him how you feel?"

Rong Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Peichuan took out his phone, pretending to call Song Shiyan.

Rong Zheng turned pale with fright and quickly grabbed Lu Peichuan's hand to stop him, "Lu Peichuan, can't you understand human language? My affairs are none of your business."

Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng with a "I knew it" expression. "You don't like my older brother at all. You're just trying to annoy me, aren't you?"
