Chapter 955: Unintentional Praising...

The three continued the lunch peacefully where Lu Lian avoided looking at the Ming Rusheng and continued humming to what Mr. Wong said.

"Rusheng, when are you marrying?" Mr. Wong asked out of the blue.

"I have no such plan," Ming Rusheng replied.

"But I'm sure your grandpa must have something up to his sleeves," Mr. Wong added.

"I have decided to ignore all annoying old men around," Ming Rusheng spoke.

"Annoying? True though, as Ming Shihong and Lu Haun both are like that," Mr. Wong commented.

"My grandpa is not annoying," Lu Lian interrupted the two.

Mr. Wong smiled lightly while Ming Rusheng spoke, "When you will know what our grandpa cooks behind our back, you won't think the same."

"Whatever my grandpa does, I'm sure it's for my good," she countered, glaring at him.

"Really? He asked, raising his eyebrow in question.

"Hmm," she replied firmly, staring back at him.

"Then you should get ready to marry me," Ming Rusheng spoke as he smirked.

COUGH!!!

Lu Lian choked with the food, and Ming Rusheng passed her a glass of water.

Mr. Wong smiled and continued eating quietly, "Don't shock the poor girl."

"She should know what her grandpa is planning," Ming Rusheng

countered.

"My grandpa won't take such reckless decisions. He will definitely find a better man for me and not someone...." she stopped as the two men looked at her.

Feeling guilty for what just she said, Lu Lian tried to cover it, "I mean, he will find someone compatible with me. You and I are not compatible at all."

Ming Rusheng didn't feel offended and continued, "Well, I wonder where my grandpa put his brain to find such a match for me."

Lu Lian had nothing to say as she was the one to start it.

Mr. Wong spoke, "But seems like for the first time those two old farts used their brains."

The two young people didn't talk and continued eating silently. Ming Rusheng looked not affected as if nothing mattered to him while Lu Lian continued eating, lowering her head.

Lu Corporation...

Xiao Min spent his time working with Lu Lijun and Noah. Jiang Yuyan was not allowed to go to the office as Ning Jiahui didn't let her.

Xiao Min left Shen Li's home the previous night but later realized Shen Li didn't eat the food sent by his mother. Xiao Min gave him medicines and asked him to rest, and left home after Shen Li angered him. The reheated food was kept just like that on the table.

Xiao Min was worried about how Shen Li was doing. If he was better or his condition worsened.

'It was just a normal fever. He would be fine,' Xiao Min thought and leaned back in his chair, sighing deeply.

Whatever he tried, he couldn't stop worrying and kept looking at his cell phone.

Xiao Min was searching for the excuse to call him and check on him but was conflicted over what to do. He didn't want Shen Li to think he was willing to go to him and care for him, but he was dying to know how he was.

The moment he closed his eyes while leaning back in the chair, the memory of their kiss flashed in his mind, and his hearts started to beat faster.

Shen Li's warm lips that Xiao Min always dreamed about, finally kissed him, and how Xiao Min couldn't have enough of it.

His senior, the only person he always thought about romantically, kissed him on his own. Not just once but twice in a single day. That cold man looked seducing and hard to resist when he acted boldly.

Opening his eyes in shock, Xiao Min pated his chest lightly, "It's so annoying," he mumbled frustratingly.

It worried Xiao Min that if Shen Li continued like this, it wouldn't be long when he would give into him.

"I need to stay away from him," Xiao Min frowned.

"Who are you talking about?" someone entered the room and talked.

Xiao Min looked at the man, "When did you come, San Zemin?"

"When you were busy frowning. Who pissed you off now?" San Zemin asked.

"It's nothing. Have a seat," Xiao Min instructed and asked, "When did you return?"

"This morning," said San Zemin as he paused a little, "I saw assistant Li at the airport this morning. Seems like he went somewhere."

Xiao Min was about to exclaim in surprise but got hold of himself, "He must have gone for some work."

San Zemin nodded, "Hmm, I just thought to inform you."

"There is no need. We don't have to know about what the employee of another company is up to," Xiao Min countered.

San Zemin gave him a questioning look, and Xiao Min instructed, "He is my senior, but we don't need to treat him differently.

San Zemin didn't imply anything and listened to Xiao Min.

What was between Shen Li and Xiao Min was known to San Zemin and Xiao Min was also aware that San Zemin knew it, but it was all unspoken.

"I'll visit the boss," San Zemin stood up.

"Hmm, I'll visit the boss once the work here is over. I need to update a few things," Xiao Min informed.

San Zemin left, and Xiao Min looked at his cellphone.

'So finally he left. Why did he have to act like that when he had to leave. Didn't even bother to inform me.' Xiao Min's eyes turned moist with the thought that Shen Li left him?

He had prepared himself for it but never thought it would hurt like this. He kept thinking about what he would do now, and it seems like there was nothing left as that person was not around.

Mr. Wong's home...

After finishing the lunch, Mr. Wong called Ming Rusheng to join him and Lu Lian.

Showing the changes written in the blueprint, Mr. Wong informed, "This what we are planning."

Ming Rusheng held the blueprint and observed it for a moment. He put it on the table and picked up the pencil as he wrote something on it.

"The distance between these pillars we can reduce and add one more here so the design you have planned here will get more chance to add a few more additions without putting more pressure on the existing foundation. It will also help to get it even stronger if not for additions."

Lu Lian looked carefully at the changes while Mr. Wong leaned back in his chair as he smiled lightly.

Ming Rusheng picked up the scale and drew a few lines, and wrote the measurements.

Lu Lian pulled out one more roll, and unrolling; she asked, "Can we add this kind of design with this base?"

Ming Rusheng looked at it and nodded, "Hmm, just a little change we need."

"The design looks promising and eyecatching. Don't you think Ming Rusheng?" Mr. Wong asked.

"Hmm, it sure is. She has done a good job," Ming Rusheng commented, being busy with making changes in the blueprint, not knowing his unintentional praising would affect the lady sitting in front of him.

'This stingy man being generous. Seems like when he is busy, only then his brain works fine," Lu Lian thought as she looked at him and then looked at what he was doing.

"I have to visit the two men working in my home. Till then, you two can continue," Mr. Wong stood up and left, leaving the two alone.

The two continued working where Ming Rusheng continued telling her few things which were useful for her.

Being in the USA for a long and working there, she felt like she had a lot to learn when it came to traditional Chinese architecture and felt amazed to see how Ming Rusheng was so good in every kind of style.

'No wonder he is the best one in the field,' she thought.

Just then, Ming Rusheng said something that snapped her out of it.

He looked at her, "You just need to work on basic foundation calculation as both styles are different but not difficult at all."

She nodded, "I'll try my best."

Ming Rusheng pointed at few spots on the blueprint, "Here we have done some corrections. Make a new blueprint with these changes, and let's see."

Lu Lian nodded, and Ming Rusheng instructed, "You can use the workshop."

"Hmm," she turned to leave, and Ming Rusheng spoke, "If there is any problem, I hope you can now solve on your own and not trouble me."

'Just now, this man was good, and he changed again,' she thought and smiled mockingly, "Thank you for the help, Mr. Ming."

She left as she mumbled, "I was right. His brain only works fine when he is busy working."
