Chapter 429 Thinking about it, but not liking it
Is it signed with Yue Yirou's name?
How is this possible?
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingyun and Jiang Mengru, who were sitting on the sofa playing on their phones, suddenly looked up. Before Lu Tingyun could reach for the document, Jiang Mengru stood up from the sofa, ran over, and snatched the document from Secretary Lin's hand.
When Jiang Mengru saw that several documents were indeed all signed with Yue Yirou's name, she was stunned. The documents slipped from her hands and fell to the floor.
Secretary Lin quickly squatted down to pick up the documents. She looked at Jiang Mengru, who was standing there blankly with a pale face, and then at Lu Tingyun, who was sitting in a chair with a sullen face and no words. Secretary Lin was at a loss for what to do.
"President Xu, this..." Secretary Lin hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
"Put the documents down and go out first," Lu Tingyun said.
"Yes, Mr. Xu." Secretary Lin placed the documents on the table and turned to leave.
After Secretary Lin left, Jiang Mengru slowly turned around to look at Lu Tingyun. At this moment, tears were streaming down her face.
"Shaojun, why is this? Why did you sign with Yi Rou's name? Are you thinking about her? Do you like her?"
How ridiculous! She thought he had truly changed his ways and that he only loved her. But it turned out that not only had he not changed his ways, he had also fallen for her best friend.
She loved him so much, how could he treat her like this?
Lu Tingyun wanted to nod and admit that he was thinking about Yue Yirou and that he liked her, but he couldn't right now.
He scratched his head in frustration and then explained, "Mengru, it's not what you think."
"What happened? You even signed your name as Yue Yirou. If you weren't thinking about her, if you didn't like her, how could you have made such a mistake?"
"Yes, I am thinking about her, but I don't like her."
Lu Tingyun stood up from his chair, walked over, and grasped Jiang Mengru's arm, saying excitedly, "Mengru, don't you know how I've treated you these past few months, how much I've changed for you? How can you deny my love for you just because you signed the wrong name? If I had signed Ye Shao's name, or another man's name, would you suspect I'm gay?"
“I…” Jiang Mengru stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a moment.
"Do you know why I was thinking about Miss Yue?" Lu Tingyun was still very agitated. "Because you said she was not free today, I was wondering if Young Master Ye found out about what happened in the park the day before yesterday. I was worried that Young Master Ye would deprive Miss Yue of her freedom again. You know better than me how hard-won Miss Yue's freedom is. I think we shouldn't have let Miss Yue bring the child out that day. I feel especially sorry for Miss Yue. I feel very guilty. Do you know that?"
"Shaojun, I..."
“Mengru, I initially felt only guilt, but now I feel very sad and heartbroken. I never expected that you would…” Lu Tingyun’s mood began to decline, and his tone became sorrowful, “Mengru, have you never believed that I have changed? Have you never believed in my love?”
"No, Shaojun, I believe in your love, I've always believed in it." Jiang Mengru was anxious. She hadn't expected the truth to be like this; she had misunderstood him again.
Jiang Mengru grasped Lu Tingyun's arm, but Lu Tingyun released it, turned his face away, and said sadly, "Mengru, I know I used to be a womanizer, but after meeting you, I broke off all ties with those women and only wanted to love you properly. I thought that as long as I kept myself pure and didn't associate with other women, you would believe me, but I never expected..."
Lu Tingyun shook his head and sighed deeply: "Mengru, I am not good enough for you."
"No, no, Shaojun, please don't say that. It's my fault. I shouldn't have misunderstood you. I'm sorry, Shaojun, I'm sorry."
Jiang Mengru hugged Lu Tingyun, buried her face in his chest, and kept saying sorry.
Now that she thinks about it, she also feels that Lu Tingyun could not possibly like Yue Yirou. After all, Yue Yirou is already a married woman and a mother. She is not as pretty as her, nor does she have as good a figure.
She misunderstood him again.
Jiang Mengru felt very regretful and remorseful.
"Shaojun, I love you, and I believe in your love. I was just confused for a moment. Please don't overthink it. Please forgive me."
Lu Tingyun sighed deeply again, slowly raised his hand to hug Jiang Mengru, and choked out, "Mengru, please don't misunderstand me anymore, okay? It's really unpleasant to be misunderstood by the one you love."
"No, it won't happen again. It won't happen again."
Jiang Mengru quickly assured him, then raised her hand to wrap around Lu Tingyun's neck and pressed her lips to his.
Although Lu Tingyun wanted to push her away, he could only turn the tables and kiss her passionately.
Their breathing gradually became rapid. Jiang Mengru slowly moved her hand to his waist, groping, trying to undo his belt.
Lu Tingyun suddenly reached out to stop her, panting, "Mengru, wait until..."
"I don't want to wait anymore. Shaojun, I truly love you, and I truly believe in you." Jiang Mengru pulled her hand away from Lu Tingjun's and began to take off her clothes. "Shaojun, I'm willing to give myself to you."
"No, Mengru, don't do this." Lu Tingyun hurriedly reached out to hold Jiang Mengru's hand, stopping her from taking off her clothes.
“Shaojun…” Jiang Mengru looked at him with some embarrassment and sadness. She had gone to such lengths, how could he still refuse her?
“Mengru, we’re at the company now, during working hours. Anyone could come in at any time, and it’s not a good look.” Lu Tingyun didn’t want to touch her. After realizing he had fallen in love with Yue Yirou, he didn’t want to touch any other woman.
"You mean, if we weren't at the company right now, not during working hours, you would... right?" Jiang Mengru asked, her face slightly flushed, gazing at Lu Tingyun with anticipation in her eyes.
Lu Tingyun didn't want to nod, but he knew that if he didn't, Jiang Mengru would continue to make a scene. To appease her, he could only nod: "Yes, Mengru, actually I want you too, but..."
"Alright, that's enough. Shaojun, go back to work, I'll make you a cup of coffee."
With a sweet smile, Jiang Mengru turned around and went to make coffee for Lu Tingyun.
Watching her retreating figure, Lu Tingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of signing the wrong name is now in the past.
Sipping the coffee Jiang Mengru had made, Lu Tingyun thought for a moment and said, "Mengru, please don't tell Miss Yue that I signed the wrong name. Even though it was a misunderstanding, it will be awkward for us to meet in the future if she finds out. Besides, if Young Master Ye finds out about this, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause."
"I won't tell Yi Rou about this." Even though it was a misunderstanding, she was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
