Chapter 1157 - 1157 1157 Not Interested in Marriage Alliance

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Not Interested in Marriage Alliance Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Not Interested in Marriage Alliance Lu Lingche seemed indifferent to Qiao Yin drying her hands. He lifted the lid off the small pot simmering porridge, served a bowl of chestnut porridge, and placed it before Qiao Yin, “The temperature is just right, not too cold, nor too hot. Try it.”

Aside from her love for pumpkin-based dishes, chestnuts were Qiao Yin’s favorite food. What she hadn’t expected was that Lu Lingche would remember this.

Aside from the chestnut porridge, there were four additional side dishes on the table. However, Qiao Yin did not think they were made by Lu Lingche.

Whether he made them was not important; what mattered was whether they tasted good.

Qiao Yin bowed her head and ate, filling her empty stomach.

After breakfast, Lu Lingche took her to the medical clinic. Qiao Yin’s car was still at the Gu Family’s place, and she wouldn’t be able to drive it today.

As they were nearing the clinic, Lu Lingche’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it but did not answer.

Qiao Yin found this curious, “Why aren’t you answering your phone?”

“It’s an unimportant call, not worth answering.”

Qiao Yin didn’t believe it. People who were unimportant wouldn’t have his number, let alone call him.

But she did not press further. After all, it didn’t matter who was calling him.

Upon arriving at the medical clinic and getting out of the car, Qiao Yin entered without looking back. She then began to search for herbs and essential oils to make herbal soap for Lu Lingche as payback for the bet she had lost.

Lu Lingche watched Qiao Yin walk into the clinic before instructing his assistant to drive, “Yuanshan, head to the group.”

The assistant turned around with his phone and said, “President Lu, Eldest Miss Gu’s call just came through to me. I didn’t answer, and she sent a message saying if you’re not too busy, there’s something important she’d like to discuss with you.”

Lu Lingche answered with a cold expression, “I’m busy.”

The call he had ignored earlier was from Gu Ranxuan.

During their previous collaboration with Guotai Group, she mostly communicated through emails or messages and rarely called. However, she had been calling him often lately, and he had guessed what she wanted to talk about.

It was nothing more than the matter of an arranged marriage.

He had already told her before he was not interested in an arranged marriage, but she seemed to either forget or believe there was still room for negotiation, as she had been calling him frequently.

“Head to the group. From now on, there’s no need to answer her calls.”

“Yes, President Lu.”

However, upon arriving at the group headquarters, Lu Lingche saw Gu Ranxuan already waiting for him in the lobby.

Dressed in a professional suit and high heels, Gu Ranxuan approached Lu Lingche with a light smile, “President Lu, let’s talk. It won’t take much of your time.”

Seemingly unfazed by Lu Lingche’s refusal to take her calls, she showed no signs of anger and maintained her composure admirably.

After thinking it over, Lu Lingche nodded, figuring it was better to resolve the matter.

Once in his office, Gu Ranxuan got straight to the point, “It seems that President Lu has little interest in the arranged marriage. Previously, my father and I were invited to dine by Chairman Lu. Since you weren’t there, I understood your position.”

Lu Lingche spoke indifferently, “Indeed, I’m not interested.”

“But I think you might be interested now, even if you weren’t before.”

“Why would you think so?”

“Because, before, when your elder brother hadn’t returned, everything at Shengling Group and the Lu Family was yours. You had no competition, naturally there was no need for an arranged marriage. But now, your brother is back, and if you don’t enter into a marriage alliance with me, you might very well lose control of the group.”

“That’s just your opinion.”

Lu Lingche’s expression remained indifferent as he looked down at a chess piece, a piece onto which Qiao Yin had carved the character “Qiao.” It was a chess piece he lost to her in a game they once played, which he later treasured.

Because he had rubbed it over and over, the piece had become incredibly smooth.

He unconsciously picked up the chess piece, slowly caressing the small “Qiao” character, and said lightly, “I’m not interested in an arranged marriage. Therefore, I suggest Miss Gu find another target and not waste time on me. Also, you might want to convey my message to President Gu, so he won’t waste his time in the future either.”
