Ye Zhen kept a faint smile while walking by Lu Beichuan's side. In the past, when Lu Beichuan wrapped his arm around her waist, Ye Zhen would immediately move away from him. But today was different. First, she wouldn't make Lu Beichuan lose face in front of everyone at his company. Second, this was exactly the result that she wanted.

When the company employees saw Ye Zhen, they gasped.

This woman looked exactly like Ye Qing, a woman that had recently entered the entertainment circle.

Many people had heard that Ye Zhen and Ye Qing were identical twins, but they were still surprised when they saw that for themselves.

The people that came and went respectfully greeted their CEO and his wife while discreetly checking out the family of three.

These two were an ideal couple. Although they couldn't see how the baby looked, with parents that had such good looks, how bad could their baby possibly look?

They were the picture of a happy prominent family, a couple with deep feelings for each other. The father was holding the baby with one hand and his other arm was around his wife. This scene looked incomparably warm and made the bystanders feel envious.

Many employees took out their phones and quietly snapped a photo of the family of three to privately share this image to their circle of friends. The sound of the photos being taken was especially noticeable in the relatively quiet lobby.

Lu Beichuan stared at the nearby employees, who looked embarrassed and panicky, as they stealthily put away their phones.

He wasn't a celebrity. No one could tolerate people prying into their private lives in the form of secretly taken photos while they were out in public, let alone someone like Lu Beichuan.

He halted. His eyes were slightly sunken, and he unhappily glared at one of the employees. Under this oppressive aura, that employee didn't know what to do.

Just as Lu Beichuan was about to angrily rebuke, Ye Zhen took the lead. She smiled and said, "It's okay." She looked at the employee and helped her out. "Just delete the photos."

After saying that, she said to Lu Beichuan, "Mr. Lu, the food prepared for you is getting cold."

Lu Beichuan naturally understood Ye Zhen's meaning. He expressionlessly led her into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, that employee exhaled deeply. With lingering fear, she took out her phone and deleted the secretly taken photos.

"So Mrs. Lu is a really gentle person. It doesn't seem consistent with what's said about her on the forums."

"How can you believe what's written on those forums? It's just a bunch of fictitious gossipy slander. I can't stand those jealous gossips that secretly diss other people. Just wait. When I make a post about Mrs. Lu coming to the company, those jealous people will have to open their rotten eyes and take a good look!"

"Will they believe it?"

She shook the phone in her hand. "I secretly took a photo of CEO Lu and Mrs. Lu from the back. I have real evidence unlike those jealous gossips that only have hearsay evidence. I'm in a much stronger position. Let's go. The elevator is here. Let's go upstairs so I can post."

Once they were in the elevator, Ye Zhen slapped Lu Beichuan's hand away. She whispered, "Mr. Lu, I see that you have popular support in the company. Those employees seem really scared of you?"

Lu Beichuan didn't mind her attitude. He had seen plenty of gentle and cautious women. Those women weren't his type.

"It's respect, not fear."

Ye Zhen twitched her lips and stayed silent.

"Why did the idea of bringing me a lunchbox cross your mind today? That doesn't seem like something you would do of your own initiative. Did something happen?"

As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without an agenda. Lu Beichuan had a clear understanding of Ye Zhen's character. She wouldn't have made such an extravagant show that included bringing their son along just to bring him lunch. She must have an ulterior motive.

“Mr. Lu, you really obtuse when it comes to shows of romantic affection," Ye Zhen asked, "Is it really strange for a wife to bring her husband lunch?"

The corner of Lu Beichuan's lip curved up. He didn't say anything.

This little woman definitely had something she wanted help with. Although she was stubbornly denying it now, he wasn't in a hurry. Even if he didn't ask, Ye Zhen would bring it up later.

They arrived at the 33rd floor.

The moment before the elevator doors opened, Ye Zhen intimately wrapped her arms around Lu Beichuan's arm and tilted her head so that it was resting on his shoulder in a reliant manner. Ignoring the surprised employees at the front desk of the floor, she followed Lu Beichuan to his office with a smile on her face.

This was Ye Zhen's first time coming to Lu Corporation and entering Lu Beichuan's office.

Lu Beichuan's office was spacious and imposing. On one wall, there were floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the prosperous city. His desk was in the middle. To the left of it, there was a set of comfortable and expensive sofas where guests could sit when he was meeting with them. On the right side, there was a door that led to a fully furnished room where Lu Beichuan could rest.

Lu Beichuan went to put the sleeping Zhouzhou on the bed in the resting room. When he walked out, he saw that his little wife had opened the lunch box on the table. She handed him a pair of chopsticks when he walked over.

Everything looked and smelled amazing. They were all dishes that he liked.

"Aunty Yue cooked this?"

"Of course." Ye Zhen smiled. "If you want to eat something I cooked, I can do that. But, I'm worried that you won't dare to eat what I cook."

"As long as it's something you cooked it, I promise I'll eat it all."

Lu Beichuan took the chopsticks from Ye Zhen and sat down at the table to eat lunch.

It was already past the time that he would normally eat. Now that he was no longer worried, Lu Beichuan, who had been working hard all morning, felt as if his stomach was crying out in hunger.

Ye Zhen was sitting at the table with Lu Beichuan. Resting an elbow on the table, she supported her chin in her hand as she watched him eat.

"Mr. Lu, you've been very busy lately, huh?"

Lu Beichuan glanced at her. "Did you hear something?"

"Of course.” Ye Zhen leaned back and lazily looked at him. "CEO Lu, I heard some rumors lately. I don't know if you've heard them too."

Lu Beichuan paused in picking up the next bit of food with his chopsticks. Hearing the unusual tone when Ye Zhen said those words, he swallowed the food in his mouth and put the chopsticks down. Remaining calm despite the situation, he looked at Ye Zhen.

"What rumors?" His combat ready appearance looked as if he was going to undertake a major test.

"Mr. Lu, why are you looking so nervous? I'm just worried you'll feel bored while eating, so I'm choosing a random topic to chat with you. Quickly, eat. The food will get cold later."

Lu Beichuan's gaze slightly sunk. He didn't quite believe in Ye Zhen's attempt at downplaying this topic, but at her urging, he still picked up the chopsticks.

"Eat more leafy greens. They're good for your health... Eat more meat too for a nutritional balance... You worked hard in the morning. Drink some soup. Eat more." Ye Zhen ladled out a small bowl of soup for him and placed it in front of him.

Lu Beichuan picked up the spoon, scooped out a spoonful of soup, and brought it to his lips.

He heard Ye Zhen sighing out her grievance, "Mr. Lu, I heard some gossip today. I don't know if you heard it too."

"What gossip?"

"It's like this. The media and a lot of forums are saying that you and Shen Weiyin are childhood sweethearts. According to them, the two of you have been deeply in love since you were young and that two of you made a vow of everlasting love. But, Shen Weiyin set a goal of making a name for herself in the entertainment industry and won't give up until she gets the title Film Empress. You remained infatuated with her and waited for her for several years. Just when you waited until Shen Weiyin's career had finally taken off and the title of Film Empress was within her reach, a parvenu's daughter destroyed your chance at reaching your long-awaited dream." Ye Zhen pointed at herself. "I'm that parvenu’s daughter.”
