Dominant CEO: Love Too Late

Chapter 46 – Pretended to sleep

After getting out of the car, Lu Yudong entered the villa with an umbrella.

Jiang Ci had just returned to Lu Yudong's bedroom from Grandpa's room.

"Haven't you brought your things back yet?" Lu Yudong asked her.

"Not yet. If you kick me out again, it's such a hassle to always carry a suitcase," Jiang Ci replied.

Besides, the suitcase had her diary, and it felt safer to leave it in the dormitory.

"Take your umbrella back. Sleep in the next room tonight," Lu Yudong handed the umbrella to Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci looked a bit puzzled, but more than that, she felt wronged.

"Why don't you want it? I specifically asked my friend to buy it for you from abroad," Jiang Ci looked up at Lu Yudong and asked, "Getting drenched is so uncomfortable."

Thinking about her father's pneumonia made Jiang Ci feel sad.

Lu Yudong didn't say anything, but he placed the umbrella on the bed for Jiang Ci.

The implication was clear: he didn't want it.

Jiang Ci didn't know what Yin Xuemo and Lu Yudong had talked about earlier, but his attitude had suddenly changed.

"Fine, forget it!" Jiang Ci said, "Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, you don't recognize a good heart! Go ahead and get soaked."

Thinking that Lu Yudong was influenced by Yin Xuemo's instigation, Jiang Ci's tone became harsher, and she spoke without thinking.

"Jiang—Ci!" Lu Yudong probably didn't expect Jiang Ci to curse him with such venomous words, and he growled.

Jiang Ci ignored him, picked up her quilt, and turned to the next room.

Sleeping separately was just as well, saving her from his "beastly behavior" every day, which left her unable to get up every morning.

That evening, Jiang Ci didn't go downstairs for dinner.

She lay in bed for a long time, wondering where Lu Yudong's anger came from. Although he had always been temperamental with her, it was because of the Shao Zheng incident, which Jiang Ci understood.

But today, returning the umbrella to her, where did this sudden anger come from?

Jiang Ci thought for a long time and wondered if Yin Xuemo was sowing discord, saying that the umbrella she bought was fake?

Thinking of this made Jiang Ci angry too. Why did he listen to everything Yin Xuemo said?

Were her words like an imperial decree?

The next day was the "New East Star" training session, and it was Jiang Ci's first time attending as one of the newly selected.

Coincidentally, it was Lu Yudong's class.

Generally speaking, his class was only once every one or two months, covering the company's development and vision, a more macro perspective, as the attendees were the future management team of his company.

Jiang Ci sat in the front row.

Next to Han Lan.

Lu Yudong, dressed in a steel-gray suit, was serious and spoke with clarity and depth.

Perhaps because he was the President, all the young colleagues were meticulous, with hardly any noise.

Just two minutes into his lecture, Jiang Ci dramatically slumped onto the desk.

She fell asleep.

She fell asleep right in the front row, under Lu Yudong's nose...

She was doing it on purpose.

For treating her like that last night.

She wanted to embarrass him in front of his colleagues.

Even though there were only about twenty people present, selected from the newly promoted interns this year, it was like twenty loudspeakers, and soon the whole company would know...

Han Lan anxiously nudged Jiang Ci's arm, whispering, "Are you crazy to sleep in the President's class?"

No matter how much Han Lan nudged, she couldn't wake Jiang Ci, who was pretending to sleep.

Lu Yudong glared at Jiang Ci.

But he managed to keep his composure, continuing the lecture as planned.

Throughout the class, his gaze was mostly fixed on Jiang Ci.

He wanted to see how long she could keep up this act.

Jiang Ci slept through the entire class.

Or more accurately, pretended to sleep.

She didn't give him any face for the whole class.

Fine, very well.

She held grudges fiercely!

The colleagues behind watched the spectacle, whispering, "Mr. Lu can't control Jiang Ci anymore."

Lu Yudong's tone even changed as he tried to suppress his anger.

Sleeping in Lu Yudong's class...

In the six-year history of New East Group, Jiang Ci was the first and likely the last to do so!

Jiang Ci set a new record, one that probably wouldn't be broken.

She challenged Lu Yudong's authority.

After class, Lu Yudong knocked on Jiang Ci's desk, and she groggily opened her eyes.

"Come here." In front of the colleagues, Lu Yudong tried to maintain a good temper.

After Lu Yudong left, Han Lan said to Jiang Ci, "I told you, now you've provoked him."

Jiang Ci then followed Lu Yudong back to the office.
