‘A conceited man?’

Those words followed Chu Ningyi the entire way.

‘Chu Ningyi, you’ve always faced everything with logic but love and logic are complete opposites. You’ll keep using logic and you’ll never find love.’

Chu Ningyi stared outside the window. Uncle Chu was not driving very fast so he could clearly see the passersby and the cars outside. It was now mid-afternoon and office workers were stepping out from their offices in twos and threes to have a meal together on both sides of the road. There were also small stalls at the side of the road selling fruits under the sun.

Usually, he would not bother looking at these things.

“Young Master, do we go back to the office?” Uncle Chu stopped at the intersection. One was the way home and the other was the way to the office so he did not know which way to go.

“Stop in front,” Chu Ningyi replied. He continued to look out but his eyes were no longer sharp and penetrating. His gaze was at a loss.

Uncle Chu was in a daze but did not go against his orders. After the light turned green, he drove the car forward and stopped in front of a public transport station.

Chu Ningyi opened the door and got down. He then asked Uncle Chu to go home as he walked along the bustling street alone.

At this time, Chu Ningyi was no longer that high and mighty overlord. He stood on the bluestone terrace as he watched the crowd come and go.

Logic and love were complete opposites. To him, who had always used logic to deal with things, this was an all-new definition. He was used to using logic all the time.

“I’ve told you so many times… I don’t want to eat this now. Why are you still giving this to me?”

“Baby, I’ve been busy so I only have time to make sushi. Just put up with it for a little while. I’ll make something delicious for you tonight.”

As Chu Ningyi was in his daze, a pair of young lovers who were sitting on the bench behind him took out their lunch.

“You don’t love me at all.”

“How could I not love you? Dearest, please eat quickly. I snuck out to give you your lunch. I have a meeting at the company at 1:30 pm. so I’ll have to leave first.”

“Aren’t you eating?”

“I’ll eat along the way. Remember to finish eating before going back to work.” The man said before he quickly jumped up onto a bus that had just arrived.

The girl held the lunch box, stood up and cried out, “Remember to eat!”

Chu Ningyi did not know if the man had heard it or not. All he saw was the girl who was holding the lunchbox and smiling. It was something that he had never seen on Shu Anluo’s face.

When Shui Anluoe faced him, if she did not have a fawning smile on her face, it was an awkward smile. Otherwise, it was the kind of smile from yesterday — a smile of mockery.

He was suddenly plunged into loss. ‘What was love?’

‘The man had a meeting in the afternoon. If it were me, I would have ordered lunch for her and sent someone to deliver it to her. I would focus on preparing for the meeting.’

This was the most logical method.

The girl holding the lunchbox was about to leave but suddenly bent down to pick up an access card. “What a scatterbrain,” she grumbled. She stood next to the bus stop, clearly waiting to catch the bus and made a call. “Sister Li, I have a sudden emergency. Can I have half an hour off this afternoon? Just half an hour.”

The girl asked carefully and the person on the other end gave an unknown answer. She happily thanked them and jumped on the bus that had just arrived.

Chu Ningyi watched her leave but before she left, he noticed the access card in her hand. So that had been an employee of the Chu Group.

Chu Ningyi looked up and watched as the bus disappeared completely from view. He, who was standing on the street, was lost in a deep reverie.
