Chapter 746: 746, my Xiaobai can kick open the toilet door with one foot.
Chapter 746: 746, my Xiaobai can kick open the toilet door with one foot.
Lu Chenyu remained silent.
Mo Weiyi then asked again, “Master, were you locked up for the entire night?”
Everyone: “…”
Lu Chenyu was still wearing the same outfit from yesterday.
A grey-black checkered shirt with a black suit on top, paired with a plain tie.
It was neatly dressed yesterday, but now it was all crumpled, even the collar of the shirt was turned out.
Though his complexion wasn’t too sallow, his current expression was far from pleasant, even somewhat gloomy.
Especially with that tousled short hair, the obvious bluish stubble around his lips, and the fishy eyes full of blood vessels…
Awful, Lawyer Lu was really locked in the bathroom all night.
“Well, it’s nine o’clock, everyone hurry up and get to work.” Lawyer Hu kindly reminded.
Lu Chenyu is usually cool and composed, one could generously say he is tsundere, less generously, he is arrogant and conceited.
The embarrassing event of being locked in the toilet all night was not suitable for widespread publicity.
Doesn’t Lawyer Lu care about his reputation?
Everyone suddenly realized this and quickly dispersed in all directions.
Under tremendous pressure, the front desk lady timidly reminded, “Lawyer Lu, Assistant Wang called several times earlier and said the court session will start at half-past nine…”
“I know, go back to work.” Lu Chenyu said gloomily.
“Alright.” The front desk lady also hurriedly left.
Mo Weiyi snuck a glance at Lu Chenyu and was about to turn around.
“Stop!”
Lu Chenyu’s sudden command scared Mo Weiyi that her heart shrank.
She turned around and instinctively defended herself, “Master, I really didn’t know you were locked in the bathroom last night, I went downstairs with Xiaobai right after you left.”
Lu Chenyu remained silent.
“Master, you must remember to bring your phone with you to the toilet next time. If you had called me right away last night, we definitely wouldn’t have ignored you.”
Lu Chenyu still kept quiet.
His frequently used mobile phone was a Nokia business machine.
In the words of Lu’s father, a mobile phone is for making calls, no need for other miscellaneous functions.
He does have an iPhone, but he only uses it to check WJY WeChat group messages and doesn’t carry it with him normally.
Besides, how could a man possibly bring a cell phone into the bathroom?
Both hands need to hold other things…
“Master, you really should exercise more. If my Xiaobai were locked in the bathroom, he would definitely kick the door open with one foot…”
“Shut up!” Lu Chenyu finally interrupted her, “If it wasn’t for you, would I have been locked in the bathroom all night?”
Mo Weiyi was very innocent, “How is it related to me?”
“You still dare to say!” Lu Chenyu was so angry that his teeth started itching. @@novelbin@@
This plague!
If she hadn’t inexplicably called Xiao Yebai to the company last night, would he have had to rush to the bathroom and then be inexplicably locked in there all night?
Ever since she came to intern at the law firm, he hadn’t had a good day.
“Master, I really didn’t know…”
“The bag I had last night, you took it back, didn’t you? You say you don’t know! You did it on purpose!” Lu Chenyu continued to accuse.
“No, I didn’t go to the bathroom at all yesterday.” Mo Weiyi was so aggrieved.
“So, did a ghost take it?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, “I know! Pingting came up to the bathroom last night, it was probably her who brought your bag back.”
“Pingting?” Lu Chenyu squinted his fishy eyes.
“Yes, the beautiful policewoman you mentioned, her name is Gu Pingting.” Mo Weiyi was desperate to prove her innocence, “Master, I really didn’t know you were locked in the bathroom, Pingting must have wanted to help. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the security to check the surveillance video. Oh yes, I have her WeChat, you can ask her directly…”
“No need.” Lu Chenyu turned away directly, “I hate policewomen.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
**
Because he had to rush to court, Lu Chenyu quickly changed his clothes and washed his face then left.
Old Wang also wasn’t in the office, Mo Weiyi had the whole office to herself. There wasn’t much work in the morning so she was quite relaxed.
She changed into comfortable slippers, made herself a cup of honey lemon water, and then sent Gu Pingting a message on WeChat.
[Did you pick up a black briefcase in the bathroom last night?]
Gu Pingting replied quickly, [Yes, I guess someone from your firm must have left it behind, so I left it at the reception.]
Mo Weiyi quickly took a screenshot of the conversation and forwarded it to Lu Chenyu.
[Master, it was Pingting who kindly brought your bag back. It has nothing to do with me!]
Probably because he was busy, Lu Chenyu didn’t reply.
When she went back to their conversation, she saw that Gu Pingting had sent several more WeChat messages:
[Whose bag was it?]
“Is he going to thank me?”
“Tell him there’s no need to thank me. I’m just a police officer serving the people. Doing good things is what I ought to do, like Lei Feng.” [Lei Feng is a cultural icon in China, known for his selflessness and modesty.]
“A trivial effort! For the people! I can’t take a thing from the public!”
“Really, no need for him to thank me. Ok, Mrs. Xiao, I’ve got to get back to work.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
This Gu Pingting is even more lively than Su Wanwan!

Mo Group.
At half past nine in the morning, as usual, Zhong Kai arrived at the CEO’s office with his laptop to report on the recent work progress and the day’s agenda.
However, as he sat down, he noticed a sky-blue cartoon water cup on the office desk. There was even a heater underneath it.
Out of curiosity, he couldn’t help but take a closer look.
The entire office was decorated in a black, white, and gray theme, which was also the color scheme of Xiao Yebai’s wardrobe, making him appear simple, low-key, and serious.
The sudden appearance of this cute and popular water cup was extremely out of place.
“Mr. Xiao, was this given by the little princess?”, blurted out Zhong Kai.
Xiao Yebai glanced at him coolly without saying a word.
Zhong Kai quickly lowered his head and opened his laptop, “Mr. Xiao, about our recent collaboration plan with Huanyu Media, I’ve already discussed it with the business department…”
…
Half an hour later.
“Mr. Xiao, I’ll get back to work now.”
“Mhm.”
Back in his office, Zhong Kai immediately called Mo Weiyi.
“Princess, there’s a situation.”
“What?”
“Um…” Zhong Kai suddenly was at a loss for words.
When he asked if the water cup was from the princess earlier, Xiao Yebai didn’t respond, and his gaze was even quite intimidating.
His initial guess was that the cup wasn’t from the princess.
If it wasn’t the princess who sent the cup, then it must have been Miss Tian. After all, just yesterday, Mr. Xiao gifted Miss Tian a set of apartments – reciprocation of courtesy from her, perhaps?
Zhong Kai found himself in a dilemma.
Snitching on Mr. Xiao didn’t seem right.
But keeping it from the Little Princess felt unfair.
Last time the Little Princess saw Mr. Xiao and Miss Tian together in his office, they ended up in a cold war that lasted at least a month. During that month, Mr. Xiao became a complete workaholic, working until nine or ten o’clock every night. As his special assistant, he naturally had to endure the hardship along.
After some thought, Zhong Kai decided it was in his best interest to stay out of their personal matters.
He said, “Princess, it so happens that your birthday is coming up soon, and Mr. Xiao asked me to inquire about what you’d like.”
Mo Weiyi sounded excited, “Did Xiaobai ask you to ask me?”
“Mr. Xiao didn’t specify, but he did ask me yesterday. So I suspect he’s trying to figure out what gift would be best.”
This made Mo Weiyi even happier. “Then let him decide for himself. If I tell him, it won’t be a surprise. Anything is fine, except for jewelry.”
“I understand, Princess.”
After he hung up the phone, Zhong Kai shook his head.
This Miss Tian, why can’t she do something good instead of trying to intervene in someone else’s marriage and becoming a mistress…
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
The phone rang, and the screen prominently displayed two big characters, “Tian Ye.”
Zhong Kai quickly answered, “Miss Tian.”
“Assistant Zhong, I just returned to the company today. My secretary told me that yesterday a Mr. Zhong delivered a keychain, was that you?”
“Yes, Miss Tian.”
“Did Yebai ask you to deliver it?”
“Yes.”
“I can’t accept it. Please come and take it back.”
Zhong Kai looked troubled, “Miss Tian, please don’t make things difficult for me. Mr. Xiao asked me to deliver it, and I simply did as instructed. As for the rest, I don’t understand and I dare not ask.”
“…..” Tian Ye didn’t say anything.
“Miss Tian, if there isn’t anything else…”
“Assistant Zhong,” Tian Ye suddenly asked, “Is Yebai at the company today?”
“Ah, yes, Mr. Xiao is at the company.”
“Good, I’ll visit him this afternoon.”
“Miss Tian!” Zhong Kai quickly interrupted her, “Mr. Xiao has to meet some important clients this afternoon. If you insist on coming, it would be better to choose another time.”
“Understood.” After saying this, Tian Ye hung up.
This afternoon, the people from Yurui Law Firm are coming to sign a contract, and the Little Princess also happens to be interning with Yurui. In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Zhong Kai feels extremely burdened.
What do you think?
