Dong Wenwu was on the verge of tears. He never would have thought Gao Mi could be so lucky as to have managed to get in with Lu Yunque’s girlfriend.
On the other end of the line, hearing the near-sobbing tone in his son’s voice, Dong Wenwu’s father paused for a moment before asking what had happened.
Without daring to add the slightest embellishment, Dong Wenwu recounted every single detail of what had happened from yesterday to today.
Thinking of the final look Yun Zijin gave him, Dong Wenwu felt a chill run down his spine even now.
And just a moment ago, Lu Yunque had seen him too. He had no idea if Yun Zijin would tell him what had happened.
If Lu Yunque found out what he’d done yesterday and today, the Dong Family would be finished in Dijing.
"You bastard! Go and apologize right now!"
When Dong Wenwu’s father heard what his son had done, he was so shocked he could barely breathe.
He had worked his fingers to the bone, keeping his head down and playing by the rules, just to build up a small company with a handful of connections in Dijing. And now, this good-for-nothing son of his had nearly destroyed it all overnight.
"I did apologize, but Yun Zi... I mean, Miss Yun still didn’t seem happy. I was afraid things would get worse, so I called you right away, didn’t I?"
To be fair, while Dong Wenwu wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, he at least had enough self-awareness...
...to know when he was in over his head and call for backup.
"You! Just... go home for now. I’ll figure something out."
But what could he do? He was the Dong Family’s only son. As disappointed as Father Dong was in him, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
It wasn’t like he could break his legs, could he?
Yun Zijin was completely unaware of the chaos erupting on Dong Wenwu’s side. And even if she had known, she would have simply said he deserved it.
After three days apart, Lu Yunque had turned into a complete clingy monster. The moment he got in the car, he pulled Yun Zijin into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder and nuzzling into her neck. "Tired~"
"If you were so tired, why didn’t you extend your business trip? You didn’t have to cram all your work into such a short period."
Yun Zijin shifted slightly as she spoke.
"I missed you. I just wanted to get my work done as fast as possible and come home to see you."
A single trip abroad had turned Lu Yunque into Mr. Direct. Yun Zijin was almost caught off guard.
"I’m right here. It’s not like I’m going to run off."
Yun Zijin really thought Lu Yunque needed to change his habit of cramming all his work into two or three days and pulling overloaded all-nighters to get it done.
Lu Yunque didn’t answer. When Yun Zijin glanced down, she realized he had fallen asleep right there in her arms.
’Just how exhausted must he be to fall asleep that fast?’
"Assistant Mo, just how busy have you two been? This is no good. Find a place to pull over and switch to the passenger seat. I’ll have Zero One come and drive."
’If Lu Yunque was this exhausted, his assistant, Mo Bin, couldn’t be much better off. Wasn’t this just asking for an accident from drowsy driving?’
Yun Zijin wasn’t about to entrust her life to a driver who was falling asleep at the wheel.
Mo Bin didn’t quite know how to describe it. All he could say was... there was no ’busiest,’ only ’busier.’
He was sensible enough to take her advice. As soon as he saw a temporary parking spot, he pulled over and switched to the passenger seat.
Meanwhile, Yun Zijin sent a message to Zero One, asking him to arrange for someone to come and drive for her.
Zero One didn’t send anyone else; he came himself.
Yun Zijin didn’t care who drove, as long as it wasn’t Mo Bin.
"Give me your address. We’ll drop you off first."
’Mo Bin was paid to do a job, but it wasn’t right to work him to the bone.’
