"N-no, it's fine. I'm fine."
"Oh, then we'll be going now!"
"Okay, then, g-goodbye!"
Li Zhe watched Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, smiling and waving. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart felt like it was bleeding.
Watching Shen Nian and Lu Cheng walk out of the reception room, Li Zhe wanted nothing more than to rush forward and drag them back. However, he could only retract his outstretched hand.
Because he didn't dare.
As Shen Nian and Lu Cheng were about to leave his line of sight, an idea struck Li Zhe, and he immediately hurried after them.
"Young Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, let me see you out!"
'It's still a bit of a walk to the exit,' he thought. 'If I play my cards right, I might be able to get on Young Master Lu's good side! If Young Master Lu is pleased, then I could...'
Heh heh, at this thought, Li Zhe felt his future was bright. He sidled up to Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, a grin blooming on his face like a flower.
