The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 733 They are not one person (Lu Jingchuan & Yan Liluo)

In the morning, Jiang Hao returned the call and discussed in detail what Lu Jingchuan had asked him to find out in the middle of the night.

"I waited for your call from the middle of the night until 10 a.m., you really can sleep."

"I'm busy helping you find someone, I haven't slept well for two or three days, and I only caught up on sleep yesterday, and you're calling me again."

"So what did you find out?"

"You know what, I actually found out some inside information. Even if you hadn't called me yesterday, I would have called you today."

Lu Jingchuan sat up straight immediately, listening intently. "What kind of gossip is this?"

"It's purely a coincidence that Yan Liluo lives in the same community as you. She didn't move in recently; she was already a resident there when the development opened for sale."

"you sure?"

"Sure and sure."

"Have you found out if Yan Lilu has any relatives in Ancheng?" Lu Jingchuan asked again.

"No, how am I supposed to check? Do I have to take the photos and ask each family one by one if they're related?"

"I heard that Yan Liluo has been frequently in Ancheng in recent years, and even served as someone's special assistant. This should be easy to find out."

"You'd be better positioned to ask about this. Every matter, big or small, in Ancheng has something to do with your family."

“I’m in Jincheng, so even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. Besides, I asked you to help me find out so that my brother could stop me.”

"I understand. I'll get back to you once I find out. And if you ever find someone, remember to let me see him first."

After all, Lu Jingchuan had asked him to help find the woman for a long time. Although he knew what the woman Lu Jingchuan was looking for looked like, he couldn't really judge her just by looking at the photo. Jiang Hao was also very curious about what kind of woman could make Lu Jingchuan so unforgettable for so long.

Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Lilu walked out of the company, holding the white ball's leash in her hand, and saw Huo Xiangtian waiting at the company entrance.

At noon, Huo Xiangtian took the initiative to invite her to have dinner together that evening. She originally wanted to refuse, but Huo Xiangtian said that it was just a meal between ordinary friends. If she didn't go, it would prove that she was deliberately avoiding something and avoid too much misunderstanding. Yan Liluo had no choice but to agree.

Huo Xiangtian stood beside the car and walked towards Yan Liluo when he saw her.

"Since I brought my pet, I'll drive there myself. Just send me the location."

"It's okay, I'm not allergic to dog hair."

Huo Xiangtian took the initiative to invite her and even came to the company to pick her up in person. Since they were friends, it would seem petty for her to refuse again. So, Yan Liluo had no choice but to take Bai Qiu with her in Huo Xiangtian's car.

Yan Liluo had mentioned beforehand that she would bring Baiqiu along. The restaurant that Huo Xiangtian booked also allowed pets to enter. The restaurant also had a special area for pets, with different categories for different types of pets, so that customers who brought their pets to the restaurant could feel at ease leaving their pets temporarily.

The dinner was exquisite and looked delicious. Before the formal meal, Huo Xiangtian presented Yan Liluo with a gift and wished her a happy birthday.

"Is today my birthday?" Yan Liluo quickly took out her phone to check the calendar and realized that today really was her birthday.

She expects to resign in a little over a month. She's been so busy lately, handing over various tasks and dealing with different work issues, that she completely forgot it was her birthday today.

Yan Liluo then remembered what her aunt had said she wanted to eat today, and she would cook it herself for her when she got home. Yan Mu also called to say that she had prepared a surprise for her and would deliver it that evening.

She had already agreed to Huo Xiangtian's invitation that evening, so she didn't ask her family to prepare dinner for her.

"It seems Manager Yan has been really busy lately, so busy that he even forgot his own birthday," Huo Xiangtian said casually with a smile, in a teasing tone.

In the past, they would tease each other, but since Huo Xiangtian said some things under the guise of a joke during their last meal, they haven't been in frequent contact lately.

"I've been quite busy lately. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized it was my birthday today."

"What's inside? I can't afford anything too expensive." Yan Liluo turned her sleeve towards the exquisite gift box.

It's normal for ordinary friends to exchange birthday gifts occasionally, but Huo Xiangtian had jokingly said that if they were together, she had to be cautious and ask another question.

"It's nothing expensive, just a watch. I accepted your birthday gift, so you're not planning to refuse my birthday present today, are you? If you're worried, you can open it and take a look."

"Of course I won't refuse something that isn't valuable."

Yan Liluo opened the box first, and inside was indeed a women's watch.

"I don't know your size, I just guessed and bought it randomly. Try it on and see if you can wear it. If you can't, you can exchange it anytime."

Yan Liluo held up the wristwatch Huo Xiangtian had given her and compared it to the watch she was wearing on her wrist. "It's about the same, it should be fine."

The meal was relatively relaxed, and the two of them talked about nothing but work. Huo Xiangtian didn't try to talk about other topics.

After dinner, Yan Liluo, holding Baiqiu's hand, walked out of the restaurant side by side with Huo Xiangtian, keeping a slight distance between them.

When Lu Jingchuan returned home, he saw a pile of things at Yan Liluo's door, wrapped in colorful ribbons, with words like "Happy Birthday" printed on the large gift boxes.

Is today Yan Liluo's birthday?

Just as Lu Jingchuan was about to open the door, Yan Liluo walked out of the elevator while making a phone call.

Lu Jingchuan turned his head and glanced at her. Besides the white ball, the man surnamed Huo was also with her.

Lu Jingchuan opened the door and entered the house first. The door was not closed tightly, leaving a tiny crack.

"Is the box you're talking about the one that's placed in front of my house?"

"Yes, be careful when you move it. Inside are ceramic commemorative souvenirs of the twelve zodiac animals that I made for you myself."

"Ok."

Huo Xiangtian helped carry the boxes into the house before leaving.

Yan Mu video-called Yan Liluo to let her open the gift she had given her, and the two sisters chatted for a while before hanging up.

Lu Jingchuan, sitting next door, frowned as he looked at his phone calendar. Even his birthday was on the same day. Lu Jingshen was really going to play the role to the end this time. If he hadn't known about their conversation beforehand, he would have thought all the suspicions about Yan Liluo were reasonable.

Jiang Hao immediately replied to Lu Jingchuan via WeChat regarding the phone conversation that took place during the day.

[We couldn't find Yan Liluo within the circle; apart from one person who resembled her, no one else matched.]

"Who?" Lu Jingchuan couldn't wait to call Jiang Hao and ask.

"Luo Chuan, you know he's your brother's special assistant."

"Can't you tell the difference between men and women anymore?"

"You didn't say there should be a gender difference."

"I'm curious how you put those two together?"

"I noticed that when your ex-fiancée had short hair, she looked very similar to someone named Luo Chuan. It's just a matter of appearance."

"They are not one person." Lu Jingchuan said with certainty. If even Jiang Hao could see the problem, how could he not see it? It's just that he knew more about the truth.
