Chapter 908: Aren’t You Trying Anymore?
"Lao Su, you're dressed so flamboyantly today. If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were getting engaged."
Zhao Yun's voice was full of teasing, and he deliberately touched Su Luoxuan's meticulously combed hair.
This action made Su Luoxuan's face turn red.
"What do you know? Today is the engagement party for our Chairman Lu and Miss Shen. There must be many important people coming. We, as his subordinates, must not embarrass Chairman Lu."
Long Qichao and others watched the two talking, and envy flashed in their eyes.
Although their status is also very high, Zhao Yun and Su Luoxuan can be said to be among the earliest veterans to follow Lu Feng, and their status is naturally not comparable to theirs.
The group chatted and laughed there, and soon walked to the airport's underground parking lot.
There, Lu Feng had already been waiting with Nie Zhan and others.
When everyone saw Lu Feng, they hurried over.
Unknowingly, this young man in his twenties has become the person they respect the most and their backbone.
"Director Lu."
"Director Lu!"
"Director Lu."
Greetings came one after another, and Lu Feng felt very satisfied.
These are his elite soldiers and generals, and he has created this situation with great difficulty.
"Thank you for coming all this way."
Lu Feng smiled slightly and said lightly.
"What are you talking about? Today is your big day. It would be a real pity if we were absent."
Zhao Yun grinned, his face full of an expression of wanting to join in the fun.
This statement naturally caused all the male subordinates to nod in agreement, only Chen Qian and Liu Ruyan's faces once again flashed a trace of loss.
Lu Feng naturally saw the expressions of the two of them, but he didn't say anything, just sighed deeply.
He fully understood what the two were thinking, but all he could do was pretend not to see it. After all, he couldn't let Shen Suyuan down.
At this time, Zhao Yun and his companions also noticed the change in atmosphere and immediately closed their grinning mouths.
In fact, after knowing each other for a long time, they can also understand the feelings of the two towards Lu Feng.
Naturally, I also know that today will definitely be an unpleasant day for both of them.
"Mr. Lu, congratulations."
Liu Ruyan smiled, breaking the silence.
Behind these gentle and affectionate words lies a subtle sense of loss.
"Mr. Lu, may you have a happy marriage."
Chen Qian followed closely behind. Unlike Liu Ruyan, she knew clearly that it was impossible for her to be with the gifted boy in front of her.
So he had made up his mind a long time ago to remove Lu Feng from his heart, but it was just a decision.
But when she actually learned that Lu Feng was about to get engaged, her heart couldn't help but stop for a moment.
Listening to the two people's blessings, Lu Feng sighed in his heart, and then a smile appeared on his face:
"Thank you for your blessing."
After saying that, in order to completely end the slightly depressing atmosphere, he took everyone directly into the car.
In the luxury car, Liu Ruyan and Chen Qian sat side by side, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat solemn.
"It's hard to see the person you love getting engaged to someone else, right?"
Liu Ruyan spoke first to end the solemnity in the car. Her voice was soft and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible charm, but at this moment it seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her heart, with a barely perceptible tremor.
When Chen Qian heard this, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes. She nodded silently, her lips trembling slightly, and her tone was a bit bitter:
"Yes, it's like a piece of my heart has been ripped out, bleeding profusely, but I feel so powerless even to cry out in pain."
Liu Ruyan nodded in agreement. She peered out the car window into the distance, as if recalling something, or perhaps escaping something.
After a moment, she whispered, "I understand this feeling."
Chen Qian turned her head and looked at Liu Ruyan's delicate profile, which looked particularly fragile under the light inside the car, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
"Boss Liu, are you really not going to insist any longer? You are different from me. I am very self-aware."
"If Mr. Lu is compared to the sun in the sky, then I am just a tiny firefly, insignificant."
"But you are different. Your means, intelligence, ability, and appearance are enough to rival Miss Shen. Are you really willing to give up like this?"
There was a hint of unwillingness in her voice, as if she was looking for the last hope for herself and Liu Ruyan.
When Liu Ruyan heard Chen Qian's words, she smiled slightly. That smile was like a flower barely blooming in the darkness, with a bit of sadness.
Her tone was somewhat relieved, yet also revealed a deep sense of powerlessness: "Chen Qian, I have my pride."
"Besides, I can see that Mr. Lu and Ms. Shen are truly in love. The relationship between them is not something I can interfere with."
"I won't bother them or ruin their happiness."
She paused, her tone firm, yet also as if trying to convince herself: "I will just stand there and bless them silently."
"I'll use all my strength to help Mr. Lu solve his problems. As long as he lives a good life, I'll be satisfied."
But despite saying this, her voice became lower and lower, as if even she herself was doubting whether this satisfaction could really be achieved.
Chen Qian felt a surge of emotion in her heart, a feeling that was enveloped by a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Boss Liu, you are truly amazing."
She said this not as a compliment, but from the bottom of her heart. To be honest, she couldn't do that.
Liu Ruyan smiled, and that smile was like a ray of light squeezed out from the darkness, disappearing in a flash.
"It's nothing special. I just chose a way that is good for myself and everyone else."
Chen Qian nodded, and her admiration for Liu Ruyan grew even stronger, but that admiration was mixed with a sense of powerlessness.
Although this choice seems simple, it actually requires great courage and determination. Isn't she also using the same courage and determination to suppress her own emotions?
The car fell into silence again. This time the silence was no longer oppressive, but heavier, as if even the air was frozen.
After driving for a long time, the convoy finally stopped at a big hotel called Caesar.
This hotel, which is very famous in the entire imperial capital, is one of the Li family's properties. In order to better host his and Shen Suyuan's engagement party, Li Zhengjun waved his hand and directly turned it into a place to welcome distinguished guests.
"Lao Zhao, you guys will stay here for the next two days. I've already made all the arrangements. If you have any questions, just contact the hotel manager. We'll see you tonight."
Lu Feng made some simple arrangements and was about to leave. He had just received a message from Li Luo Ning, saying that the chairman of China's No. 1 beauty group came to see him and asked to see him specifically.
"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Liu Zheng, who was following in the crowd, could no longer hold back.
