How could it be? A Chu Tian product obviously could not be cheap.
When Lu Man peeked at it, she knew with a single glimpse of the wrapping.
"Man Man is really… you take care of her so often, and she still doesn't know to tell me. I'm living in the hospital now, so it isn't convenient, but when I am discharged, you definitely must come to my house to eat," Although it sounded like Xia Qingwei was reprimanding Lu Man, her eyes sparkling with a hint of smile.
However, Lu Man saw that there was something else too in her eyes.
"Definitely," Han Zhuoli gladly nodded his head.
Taking a look at the time Han Zhuoli stood up, and it felt as if he suddenly grew a lot taller.
Standing by his side, Lu Man felt a sense of oppression.
"Auntie, I took advantage of my lunch break to come over, so I should be going back to work now. Sorry for disturbing you for such a long time, I'll come by again to see you next time," Han Zhuoli well-behaved look left a profound impression on Xia Qingwei.
"Yes, your work is more important, now hurry back. When I am discharged, you must come over to my house," Xia Qingwei was grinning from ear to ear such that her eyes were squinted. Moreover all this time her eyes had never shifted away from Han Zhuoli, "Man Man, now go send Little Han off."
After saying goodbye to Xia Qingwei, Lu Man sent Han Zhuoli out.
At the door, Zhou Cheng and Xu Hui were still standing upright, "Young Master Han."
Han Zhuoli nodded, "The two of you have done well so far."
Receiving his approval, the two of them felt even more energized.
In the meantime, Lu Man followed Han Zhuoli towards the lift, "Young Master Han, why are you here today?"
"I have a friend who's injured and he is also staying in this hospital. I came over to see him, so just dropped by to see Auntie." Han Zhuoli stopped in front of the lift and pressed the button, "I heard that you went for a job interview to the Han Corporation today?"
"Yes," Lu Man was a bit inattentive as she was still pondering about calling the public relations department later when Han Zhouli leaves just to ask whether they were still going to hire her.
"You don't have anything that you want to ask?" Han Zhuoli saw that she was not paying attention and almost could not help himself, wanting to reach out and pull her into his embrace.
Luckily, he remembered Chu Tian's words and forced himself to put the hand that had already reached out back down by his sides.
However, Lu Man was still in her daze just then the lift door opened so Han Zhuoli lightly grabbed Lu Man's arm and entered the lift with her.
As the doors closed, he pressed the button for the first floor, "After you left, Lu Qiyuan came to the public relations department, and slandered you quite a bit."
As expected of Lu Qiyuan!
Lu Man body became stiff with anger and she tightly clenched her fists.
Even when her nails were piercing her skin, she did not feel any pain.
Compared to being framed by her own biological father, this physical pain was nothing.
Looking down, Han Zhuoli caught a glimpse of it, and gently grabbed her fists, and used his thumb to slowly rub her fists open.
After Lu Man's hand was loosened, the purple-red marks made by her nails digging into her skin were revealed.
Han Zhouli frowned slightly as his fingers touching the red marks on her palm, and he slowly rubbed against them.
Suddenly Lu Man acted as if she had been electrocuted, her hand trembled violently and she quickly pulled her hand out of his palm.
Somehow, in a moment of carelessness, she had let him hold her hand just now. Even now she could still feel the warmth of his hand, which eventually spread all the way from her palm to her heart, leaving her numb and quivering.
"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt," Han Zhuoli smiled slightly and retracted his hands that were still in the air.
Lu Man's face had an expression of shock that she could not mask, did this person suddenly have a change of heart?
The last time they had met, he had been not at all respectful, kissing and hugging her on every chance he would get. However, this time, even though it was only holding hands, he sincerely apologized with seriousness
Suddenly, Lu Man came to a shocking realization, this whole afternoon from the time they met him, he had been very well-behaved like a perfect gentleman.
"I had sent you a message last time to say it, but I still feel that formally saying it face-to-face is much better," Han Zhuoli said seriously, "I'm very sorry for my rudeness before. I'm not the kind of improper person, so I hope you can forgive me."
At that instant, Lu Man turned her head away. Han Zhouli had suddenly become so serious that she did not dare to look him in the eyes anymore.
It was as if he had returned to being the male god from her past life, whom she silently looked up to from far away.
However, in this lifetime, this male god was really acquainted with her.
Right now only the two of them were in the elevator. Moreover, the hospital elevator was very spacious.
Yet with Han Zhuoli in there, the elevator suddenly became a lot cramped.
Instantly Lu Man felt her face starting to heat up, and she shook her head in order to clear her mind and then said, "As for whatever happened in the past, just treat it as if nothing happened before and forget about it."
"Alright," After Han Zhuoli answered Lu Man he stopped talking, and lowered his head to quietly look at Lu Man.
The enclosed space in the elevator was just to his liking, with only him and Lu Man. Moreover, the mild perfume on Lu Man seemed to overpower the antiseptic smell of the hospital.
Seeing that she had lowered her head, he could see that her normally fair face was reddened, but he did not know whether it was from feeling his gaze or otherwise.
Also, her beautiful white skin had a faint pink tinge to it, just like the color of cherry blossoms.
Moreover, from Han Zhuoli's position, he could clearly see her firm nose as well as her soft and slightly plump lips.
All this made Han Zhuoli's heart beats rise and his throat moistening and an intense desire to kiss her again rose within him.
The beast in his heart called for him to walk towards her, to get closer and press her against the wall of the elevator and kiss her fiercely.
It had been so long since they met, and he longed for her sweet smell.
It was alright if he never had a taste of it before, but now that he had kissed her just a few days back, he could remember that sweet taste and kept dreaming of it over and over again.
Now that the real person was in front of him, how could he contain himself?
The beast in his heart was making so much noise, wanting to burst out.
At that moment, he could not think of anything else, he had tossed away all the notions of being a gentleman and being charismatic to the back of his brain.
As Lu Man's head was lowered, she just happened to see Han Zhuoli move his feet forward as if wanting to come closer to her.
She nervously held back her breath. Although she could take a step back, at that moment, her legs were like jelly and she could not even move them.
Suddenly, there was the sound of the elevator. Although It was not a loud sound, at that moment, it was like the sound of an explosion.
Following that sound, the doors of the elevator opened as they had already reached the first floor.
The leg Han Zhuoli had lifted up changed direction and stepped out of the elevator.
Once Han Zhouli stepped out of the elevator, Lu Man felt that she could breathe again, and she started taking big gulps of air and panting, after which she immediately followed after him.
"How do you know my dad went to the Public Relations Department?" Lu Man asked, trying to find something to talk about.
"After I finished my meeting, my assistant told me that you met Lu Qiyuan and Lu Qi in the lobby and that you even almost got hit by him. However, by that time you had already left, so even if I wanted to catch up with you I could not. I also heard that he had found out which department you are applying for and went to find the department. Hence, I was scared that he would cause trouble for you, so I went over as well."
"Then…"
"Don't worry," As Han Zhuoli said that, he had already walked to his car. "The choice of the Public Relations Department to hire you has not changed, so you should report like normal on Monday."
However, Lu Man knew that it was definitely Han Zhuoli who had expressed his stand right away.
Otherwise, being a normal worker who had not started work yet, no matter how much ability she had, with Han Corporation being such a big company, they would not lack for talent and would not want to hire her who caused so much trouble.
After all, she was yet to start working officially, and her family members had gone over to cause trouble.
Moreover, no one knew how much more trouble she will cause once she starts working with them.
Hence, no matter how talented she was, the company would not want to hire her.
"Thank you," Lu Man was very clear-minded, "It's you who ordered it, right?"
Even Han Zhuoli did not deny it, "With me here, be at ease and work at my company."
Hearing what Han Zhouli said, Lu Man almost thought that the recruitment drive by Han Corporation was an opportunity especially created for her by Han Zhouli.
However, as soon as that thought came up, Lu Man instantly rejected it.
Lu Man wasn't full of her own importance and felt that she did not have what it takes the special treatment by Han Zhouli.
So why would Han Zhuoli help her?
