Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 103 Arrogant Second-Generation Prodigy (Gong) VS Humble, Sensitive, and Invisible (Shou) [41

Jiang Xiyu's heart jumped into her throat.

He never expected Lu Xingye to be so bold. The extreme tension made him panic, and he choked on his water before he could even swallow it.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Xiyu quickly covered his lips and coughed a few times, his eyes turning red. He still looked up at Lu Xingye with restraint, not daring to be too obvious.

After a two-second silent eye contact, Jiang Xiyu looked shocked, embarrassed, and hesitant to speak.

Lu Xingye raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.

His expression seemed to suggest he wanted to laugh, but he still casually grabbed two tissues and handed them to Jiang Xiyu, kindly gesturing for him to wipe himself.

Jiang Xiyu only glanced at it for a moment before looking away. He lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, not daring to show anything unusual in front of Lu's mother. After taking it, he politely thanked Lu Xingye.

Lu Xingye said calmly, "You're welcome."

The sounds in the private room stopped abruptly, the atmosphere became somewhat strange, and this silence lasted for nearly half a minute.

Jiang Xiyu then remembered the question Lu's mother had asked and wondered if she should reply.

So he became serious, and after a sigh, he answered Lu's mother earnestly, "I...I don't have a girl I like yet..."

He was right.

He doesn't like girls.

He likes Lu Xingye.

But when these words were spoken, it was clear that some people were not satisfied.

Jiang Xiyu felt as if her leg under the table had been touched again, and her face immediately turned bright red.

He hesitated, then subtly shifted his leg to the side.

Even though sitting like this was very uncomfortable, Jiang Xiyu was thinking that he hoped Lu Xingye would stop touching him.

It was completely useless.

The tablecloth hung very long, but the two sat close together.

They draped the tablecloth over their laps, leaving a gap underneath.

Jiang Xiyu leaned back slightly and looked down to see his two long legs casually crossed under the dining table. His suit pants were slightly wrinkled from his movement, and what touched her was his toes.

Lu Xingye's toes brushed lightly against Jiang Xiyu's calf, seemingly unintentionally.

Later, due to Jiang Xiyu's avoidance and dissatisfaction with his answer, it was further complicated.

Lu Xingye simply put his legs down and moved closer to him, their legs touching, creating a silent and ambiguous moment under the table.

While Lu's mother was still talking, she told Jiang Xiyu that there was no rush for such things, and they could talk about it when they met someone they liked.

Jiang Xiyu was completely stunned by Lu Xingye's bold actions.

He didn't listen to what Lu's mother said, and just responded with a habitual, sullen reply.

His eyes were fixed on the two legs pressed together, and his mind was screaming: What are we doing?

Oh no! This is bad, won't we get found out?

But... the darkness deep within him was being stirred, and Jiang Xiyu silently felt that this was so arousing, so appealing~

However, he still couldn't quite accept doing this secretly in front of his elders.

A little shameful, a little exciting...

Jiang Xiyu reacted immediately after just a moment's thought.

He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, his head drooping lower and lower as if he wanted to bury it in the tablecloth, only his bright red ears showing.

From Lu Xingye's angle, one could catch a glimpse of his flushed cheeks.

So red, like she's drunk.

The young master watched with a wicked grin for over ten seconds. Fearing that Jiang Xiyu might actually crawl under the table, he put down his cutlery with a rather loud, clear sound.

Jiang Xiyu's shoulders twitched slightly, and he looked up somewhat awkwardly.

Lu's mother was also attracted by this action. Seeing that Jiang Xiyu's face was so red, she hurriedly said worriedly, "My goodness, you can't drink alcohol, your face is so red."

Lu Xingye looked at him and asked, "Are you drunk?"

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

His expression remained as calm as ever, as if he truly didn't know why Jiang Xiyu's face was so red, and as if he really wasn't the one who did such a thing.

Jiang Xiyu took a deep breath and tried her best to give Lu's mother a natural smile: "I'm fine, Auntie."

Lu Xingye rested his chin on his hand and couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Lu Xingye with a pleading look in her eyes, hoping he would stop.

Seeing how flustered he was, Lu Xingye finally took pity on him and stopped looking at him.

……

In winter, darkness falls early, and the light seems to have used up its last bit of strength, leaving only a faint white trace on the horizon.

After finishing the cake, the assistant came in with his phone. Lu's mother glanced at the message and was somewhat displeased, but still reminded Lu Xingye, "Aren't you going back to the Lu residence? Judging by the time, it's about time."

Because there were many people attending the banquet, including some elders, Lu Xingye would return to the Lu residence in advance as a sign of courtesy.

Usually, after Lu's mother said this, Lu Xingye would get up and leave.

But at this moment, he simply sat there, quietly savored a bite of the cake Jiang Xiyu had cut for him, and then put down his fork.

"The car sent by the Lu family to pick you up has arrived..."

Lu's mother actually hated this kind of formalism in the big family, which made the birthday celebration not feel like a birthday celebration. She asked Lu Xingye to come back, as if it was only because the birthday banquet needed him as the protagonist. As for whether Lu Xingye liked it or not, no one cared.

"Why don't you go ahead first? Xi Yu and I will wait for you at the villa."

Jiang Xiyu took a bite of the cake; it was very sweet.

He slightly raised his eyes to look at Lu Xingye and found that Lu Xingye was also looking at him.

After a long pause, Lu Xingye said impatiently, "I'm not going."

Lu's mother paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "I'm afraid your father won't agree."

It would be somewhat inappropriate if Lu Xingye didn't attend this dinner.

In previous years, her son had always been nonchalant about this.

It seems like going is fine, but not going is also fine.

This is the first time I've said so clearly that I don't want to go.

Lu Xingye irritably loosened his tie, his face cold and his attitude firm.

I went to that lousy place and couldn't get back until midnight.

He didn't want to go, and his mother didn't know what to say.

Jiang Xiyu sat quietly next to him, recalling how Lu Xingye had a conflict with his father last time just because of school matters. If he didn't go this time, he probably wouldn't let it go so easily.

Although he really hoped that Lu Xingye wouldn't go, going to this banquet would be the best thing to do, as it would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After all, no matter what, Lu Xingye is the future heir of the Lu family.

Jiang Xiyu glanced cautiously at Lu Xingye, only to find that Lu Xingye seemed to be looking at him as well.

It was Lu's mother who broke the deadlock, suggesting that she go in Lu Xingye's place.

After all, it was her son's birthday, and it was perfectly reasonable for her, as his mother, to attend the banquet.

Lu Xingye didn't want her to get involved in the Lu family anymore, so he coldly refused.

He finally decided to go, but when he got up to leave the private room, he called Jiang Xiyu along.
