The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: You, the Only Person I Want to Pounce On

Mi Duo and Zhou Ying took the initiative to greet them.

Zhao Huai was the first to disembark from the helicopter and, seeing the two approaching, was visibly displeased.

Who are these people?

He quickly looked around and, upon spotting Jian Man standing at the back of the crowd, subconsciously walked straight toward her.

Halfway there, he remembered that this was a reality show, with quite a few cameras rolling.

So he changed his pace, altered his direction, and walked toward Lu Zhan.

"Lu Zhan, Young Master~"

The live chat was filled with question marks.

+Young Master??? What’s the situation?

+Eh? Are there still people who don’t know Lu Zhan is a wealthy second generation? The northern city Lu Corporation is his family’s!

+Wow! I really didn’t know that!

+You guys, don’t you use the internet?

+So does this count as a wilderness survival success? Isn’t this rich young master just turning on a buff for himself?

+How does it not count as a success? If there hadn’t been a bonfire, no SOS, in such dark night, the helicopter might not have been able to find them, right?

+Why are you being so serious? The show crew set them up, so why can’t the young master use his family’s wealth?

The viewers were unaware that sitting inside the helicopter was none other than the CEO of Lu Corporation, Lu Xingzhou.

They were even less aware that the helicopter was not there for Lu Zhan, but for the CEO’s wife, Jiang Man.

"The helicopter can take three people..." Zhao Huai hinted at Lu Zhan, "Young Master, who do you think we should take first?"

"Bring my junior sister Wen Rui." Lu Zhan glanced over at the person beside him.

"Then take Sister Man." Wen Rui hastily said.

Both of them acted without a trace of performance, as if it was natural for him to bring her, and her to bring her.

"Shall we get on the helicopter, then?" Zhao Huai, quite the performer, pretended not to recognize Jiang Man.

Jiang Man was the last one to board the helicopter.

As the others caught a glimpse, upon realizing that there was another distinguished man seated inside, they were taken aback.

Despite the dim lighting, Zhou Ying recognized the man as Lu Xingzhou—the most eligible bachelor and diamond king bachelor in the north.

She remembered that Jiang Man had met Lu Xingzhou at the V-night, so why were they pretending not to be acquainted now?

Or was it that Young Master Lu, busy with the business of a thousand matters each day, had already forgotten the minor character that was Jiang Man?

Before she could figure out what was really going on, the helicopter’s door closed, and it slowly began to ascend.

Jiang Man fastened her seatbelt, put on her goggles and headset.

The next second, Lu Xingzhou grabbed her hand and pressed her into the seat.

"Weren’t you on a backpacking travel variety show? What’s going on with you and that pretty boy?"

The man’s questioning was not harsh, but it was full of resentment.

Lu Zhan and Wen Rui in the back exchanged glances, both wishing they could become invisible at that moment.

"Lu Zhan, Ruirui, turn off your headsets."

Jiang Man didn’t rush to answer but spoke into the microphone.

The two nodded obediently.

Once the headsets were off, all that could be heard was the roar of the propellers and the whoosh of the high-altitude air currents.

"Lu Xingzhou, what on earth are you jealous of now?" Jiang Man’s gaze returned and settled on the man beside her.

Today, Lu Xingzhou wore a simple yet authoritative suit—a black suit with a white shirt, sans any flamboyant decorations.

Yet, such attire only accentuated his noble and elegant demeanor.

Especially since the collar of his white shirt was unbuttoned at the top, revealing his slender neck.

Jiang Man’s eyes fell on his Adam’s apple.

With a slight movement, the sexual tension skyrocketed.

For some reason, after seeing Bei Ling’s kind of pretty-faced boys, she found an older man like Lu Xingzhou far more appealing.

She frowned slightly; indeed, she preferred them older.

"Did that kid prepare fireflies for you? What happened afterward?"

Lu Xingzhou was relentless, like a little prince who couldn’t be placated.

Jiang Man’s eyebrows rose, her eyes sparkled: "You’ve been watching the live broadcast the whole time?"

"I watched continuously, including using the satellite signal on the plane, but, I couldn’t watch during the 30 minutes of takeoff and the 30 minutes of landing..." Zhao Huai, sitting in the co-pilot seat, couldn’t help but turn around.

Lu Xingzhou was instantly ashamed and annoyed, and he glared at him, "Want a pay cut, huh? Turn off your headset!"

Zhao Huai had gotten a lot braver, knowing the BOSS was nothing but a wife-doting man.

He looked towards Jiang Man with a chuckle, "BOSS has been frowning all the way, no telling how many jars of vinegar he’s knocked over."

"Haha," Jiang Man couldn’t help but laugh, "I knew it."

She glanced at Zhao Huai, "You turn off your headset too."

"Yes." Zhao Huai nodded, switched off his headset, and turned his head back.

Lu Xingzhou massaged his temples, his head aching terribly, "Zhao Huai, you’re impressive, bribed by grandma and now you don’t even listen to me?"

"I’ll replace you with a new assistant sooner or later!"

"Don’t be mad, don’t be mad." Jiang Man reached out to soothe the arrogant man, "I just watched some fireflies for a while, and then he played me a guitar piece to listen to, Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, that’s the kind of relationship we have."

Boya is hard to find, a soulmate is even harder to come by.

Lu Xingzhou’s heart ached slightly.

He could play the piano, play the flute, and master seven or eight musical instruments. These skills were highly praised by others, but in front of Jiang Man, they were practically worthless.

Especially since he didn’t understand composing music and lyrics, he couldn’t share common ground with Jiang Man.

He was jealous of that pretty boy, being called a soulmate by Jiang Man.

"If he’s the soulmate, then what am I?" Lu Xingzhou said in a jealous tone.

"You are," Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, "the only man I want to throw myself at..."

Her voice was frivolous.

Having said that, she deliberately teased Lu Xingzhou’s chin.

Lu Xingzhou could hardly believe his ears and immediately cheered up, "Female hooligan."

...

More than forty minutes later, the helicopter landed on the helipad at the top of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Pattaya.

As soon as the helicopter stopped, Lu Xingzhou took Jiang Man’s hand and left.

"Master Lu Zhan, a presidential suite has been arranged for you, right next to the BOSS’s room."

Zhao Huai took care of the aftermath, glancing at Wen Rui, "How should Miss Wen be arranged?"

Lu Zhan touched his nose, his eyes gentle, "Ruirui, are you afraid to sleep alone?"

Thailand isn’t like other countries; here, supernatural beliefs are still quite influential.

Plus, last night she was pranked by the show crew, causing Wen Rui to now have a psychological shadow about staying in hotels.

"... Can I stay with you?"

Realizing she might have been misunderstood, she quickly explained, "Not sleeping in the same room, the presidential suite should have several rooms, right?"

"Yes." Lu Zhan answered, then glanced at Zhao Huai, "Assistant Zhao, give me the room card, tonight I’ll stay with Ruirui."

"Yes." Zhao Huai respectfully handed the card to Lu Zhan.

After seeing the two leave, he immediately took out his phone to make a call.

"Yes, Madam, this is Zhao Huai. The BOSS and his wife have gone back to their room, and Master Lu Zhan and Miss Wen have also returned to their room; they will be staying in a presidential suite tonight."

"Have Zhou’er and Manman had a fight?" On the other end of the line, the old lady was very anxious.

"They haven’t fought, Madam, rest assured, BOSS was appeased by his wife with a few words," Zhao Huai replied.

"That’s good, that’s good," the old lady responded repeatedly, "Tomorrow, you spread the news that Zhou’er is a Harvard graduate and a distinguished professor; the bigger the fuss, the better!"

The old lady and Lu Xuemei had watched the entire live broadcast.

They also noticed that Bei Ling had a special interest in Jiang Man.

And not just Bei Ling, but that Xu Chengzhou as well.

Chengzhou, Chengzhou, wasn’t that a repetition of their own Zhou’er’s nickname?

However, watching the variety show, Manman didn’t seem to have a high regard for this Xu Chengzhou, so the old lady decided to hold back and continue to observe.

...

Meanwhile, in the V1 presidential suite.

Having stayed on the deserted island for a day, she felt sticky and uncomfortable, so Jiang Man went to the bathroom first thing.

Ding—

Lu Xingzhou, who was leaning on the couch reading, had his attention drawn by a message alert sound from his phone.

Jiang Man’s phone was placed openly on the coffee table in front of him.

He didn’t intend to invade her privacy, but couldn’t help that he had excellent vision.

Since the phone wasn’t unlocked, he could only read the first half of the text message preview.
