Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house
Chapter 1661 Feeling Empty
When Lu Yanjue saw her slightly raised mouth corners, he didn't know why, but he felt a little blocked in his heart.
He was obviously forcing a smile, but pretending like nothing had happened.
He didn't know what was going on.
However, since it was her own request, Lu Yanjue couldn't say anything more.
He stared at her for a while before slowly saying, "If you think this is okay, then I respect you."
After saying that, Lu Yanjue stood up, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said, "It's getting late, go back and rest early!"
Jiang Ruoli nodded, stood up, patted her dirty skirt, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Earl."
Lu Yanjue glanced at her, and finally turned and left without saying anything else.
Jiang Ruoli stared at the slender figure, but felt inexplicably empty in his heart.
After being stunned for a while, Jiang Ruoli was about to leave, but turned around and met Katie who had just come downstairs.
Katie must have just arrived a while ago and didn't see the scene of the two of them together.
However, he saw Lu Yanjue's back as he left, and the change in Jiang Ruoli's eyes.
She sneered on the spot and said, "Jiang Ruoli, you are quite capable. You can even find opportunities to seduce the Earl in private! Don't you know that Princess Cindy's engagement with him has been finalized? You are so bold to still have such wishful thinking!"
When Jiang Ruoli heard this, he felt even more depressed.
But she ignored it, just looked at Katie coldly and said, "How dare you say that others are wishful thinking? If I remember correctly, this person has always been you, right?"
Katie's face was gloomy.
Because of this incident, she deliberately picked trouble with Jiang Ruoli and was ridiculed in private many times during this period.
Deep down, he had always harbored a grudge against Jiang Ruoli and had long wanted to settle the score with her.
But the two of them were not in the same group, so she couldn't take any action and was worried that she would really be kicked out.
At this moment, she was still very happy to see Jiang Ruoli being humiliated.
If he were embarrassed, Jiang Ruoli would have no chance of saving face.
So she sneered, "After all, I have worked with the Earl before, and even had the opportunity to express my feelings to him. Although he rejected me, he always knew that I liked him.
I really have no chance now, but you have no chance either. You are no match for Princess Cindy, and it is impossible for the Earl to fall in love with you. Just give up on this idea!
At the same time, I would also like to advise you not to be so shameless and stick to me. Otherwise, if I get upset, I will report the matter to Princess Cindy. Then, let's see how you can handle Princess Cindy's wrath!"
Katie also figured it out. If she couldn't get the person, Jiang Ruoli couldn't get him either.
As for Princess Cindy, her status is not on the same level. She has been a winner from the very beginning.
She couldn't fight or snatch it, so she could only accept it.
Jiang Ruoli was just an ordinary person, nothing, she didn't take him seriously at all!
Jiang Ruoli also understood Katie's thoughts, but he didn't care at all and replied coldly:
"You are wrong about one thing. I am different from you. From the beginning, I had no other thoughts about the Earl, because I knew our identities, so I never coveted him.
I think that people should know themselves. I have this thing, but you don’t! Also, if you are rejected but still stick to someone else, that’s called sticking to someone else!
The Earl hates you, but he is willing to associate with me, teach me academic knowledge, and patiently promote me. Tell me, isn't it infuriating?"
Katie was instantly furious.
"you……!!!"
Her face was terribly grim, her hands were clenched tightly, and she couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Ruoli was too lazy to talk nonsense with her anymore.
There's no point in talking to each other. We are not in the same group now. I am not under her supervision, so there is no need for me to be afraid of her.
So, Jiang Ruoli got into the car without saying a word and left quickly.
However, on the way back, my mood was affected a little.
He felt a little annoyed. As for why, Jiang Ruoli just felt annoyed by Katie at that time.
In the next few days, Jiang Ruoli didn't see Lu Yanjue again.
But Jiang Xi noticed that Jiang Ruoli was absent-minded from time to time while working these days.
She quickly came over and asked, "Ruoli, what happened? I think you look absent-minded."
Jiang Ruoli said hurriedly: "No, it's okay."
Jiang Xi couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really okay?"
Jiang Ruoli smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, just get back to work!"
Jiang Xi was suspicious, but seeing that Jiang Ruoli had no intention of saying anything, he did not ask any more questions.
……
As for Lu Yanjue, he went to work as usual, with no difference.
But Pei Yan, who had worked beside him for many years, could vaguely sense that the Earl was in a bad mood recently.
There is a faint sense of low pressure all over the body.
And...I am more strict with the people around me!
This made everyone in the team a little nervous, fearing that they might make mistakes and bring bad luck to the Earl.
But Lu Yanjue himself seemed not to notice.
What's going on here?
It seemed like this had happened since I met Jiang Ruoli that night.
Did the two of them have a fight?
When he was at a loss for words, Yu Wanjun contacted him and asked him to inform Lu Yanjue to come back for dinner in the evening.
There is a family dinner tonight.
Yu Wanqiu and her whole family are here.
Huhu, this little guy is here too.
After dinner, the elders drank tea and chatted in the hall.
Huhu's mother Yan Xueluo was chatting with her son and Lu Yanjue.
"Ajue, how is your relationship with your girlfriend going? Ever since Huhu came back that day, he has been talking about how gentle my aunt is and how patient she is with him. Every day, he uses my mother as a negative example, thinking about going to play with her next time! When will you bring your sister-in-law to me?"
Several elders nearby immediately pricked up their ears to listen.
Lu Yanjue was helpless and said, "Nothing. She and I were both very busy. We haven't seen each other for a few days."
Yu Wanjun was so disappointed that she immediately said, "You are in the same research institute, it would be nice if you could just have a meal together! You don't even know how to seize the opportunity! You are the person in charge of the entire institute."
Huhu said in a baby voice, taking the opportunity to say, "Aunt, uncle said before that he doesn't like aunt and has no intention of pursuing her!"
"what?"
After these words came out, everyone stared at Lu Yanjue.
Yu Wanjun asked: "Is this true? Why don't you like it?"
Yu Wanqiu also looked at him in confusion, "Ruoli is quite good! And she's well-behaved. When I met Henry before, he praised her for a long time, saying that her ability is the most outstanding among all the newcomers!
Besides, aren’t you a caring person? I’ve never seen you so attentive to a girl before! Why don’t you like her? "
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "You don't really like Princess Cindy, do you? I heard that she came to the institute to look for you late at night a few days ago, and you sent her back. Is that true?"
Lu Yanjue had a headache and immediately explained, "I sent her there for her safety. I didn't want anything unexpected to happen in such a critical situation. I didn't mean anything else."
