Chapter 109: Side Story 5 – Soft Lies and Sweet Rewards

On the other side, Wei Lan saw the reply from Wei Ting and immediately deflated.

It seemed she really had been too clingy.

Wei Lan sighed and, with a grim expression, went to take a bath.

That night, Wei Lan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She really wanted to figure out what she had done wrong to upset Lu Zijin.

Over at Lu Zijin’s side, she had been in meetings until seven o’clock, scolding every department head, and only then did she contentedly let everyone go home.

But after returning home, Lu Zijin felt empty inside.

She wanted her little dog again.

Why was she thinking about her little dog all day?

She was a bit afraid of this loss of control, which only made her more determined not to see Wei Lan for the next few days.

She had already absorbed enough pheromones the day before yesterday; her body didn’t feel unwell anymore.

But her heart felt empty.

Unable to sleep, Lu Zijin got up and went to the bar counter on the second floor.

There were several rows of wine racks there.

She opened a bottle of red wine and poured some, planning to drink a little to help her sleep.

But after one glass, Lu Zijin found herself missing her little dog even more.

She didn’t like this feeling, so she had another glass and then went back to bed.

For the next few days, to keep herself from thinking about her little dog, Lu Zijin threw herself into intense work.

Not only did she stay at the company herself, but she also had all the departments working overtime alongside her.

Wei Lan, meanwhile, went to class every day.

After class, she would either go for a run to exercise or go home to carve jade.

Three days later, Wei Lan finally received a call from Lu Zijin – or, to be precise, from Wei Ting.

“Miss Wei, in about ten minutes, President Lu will come to pick you up.

Are you at home or at school?”

Wei Ting asked.

Wei Lan’s eyes lit up.

Her sister was coming to see her!

“I’m at home.

I’ll go out and wait for her right now.”

“Okay.

See you in a bit.”

Wei Ting hung up and said to Lu Zijin, sitting in the back seat, “President Lu, she’s at home.”

Lu Zijin nodded.

“Then go straight there to pick her up.”

“Okay, President Lu.”

Zhou Xiao quickly drove towards Wei Lan’s apartment.

After hanging up, Wei Lan quickly changed her clothes, grabbed her phone, and ran out, afraid that being late might upset Lu Zijin.

Soon, the modified G-Class SUV stopped by the roadside.

Seeing the car, Wei Lan’s eyes lit up, and she trotted over to it.

She nervously opened the car door and saw Lu Zijin sitting inside.

Lu Zijin saw her little dog staring blankly at her, and her heart softened.

She curled her finger at Wei Lan.

“Aren’t you getting in?”

“Oh, right.”

Wei Lan quickly got in and closed the door.

Lu Zijin pressed the button to raise the partition, blocking the view from the front.

She leaned in, rested against Wei Lan’s shoulder, and reached out to pinch and play with Wei Lan’s earlobe.

“Have you missed me these past few days?”

“Yes.

Sister, you’re not angry anymore, are you?”

Wei Lan asked cautiously.

Seeing her little dog’s obedient appearance, Lu Zijin felt very pleased.

Her little dog was so well-behaved.

No matter how much she neglected her, all she had to do was wave her hand, and her little dog would come running to her.

“I was never angry.

You overthought it.

I’ve just been too busy at the company these past few days, which is why I couldn’t come to you.

Master Ji’s jade exhibition starts today.

First, I’ll take you to buy some clothes, and then I’ll take you there.”

Lu Zijin was very skilled at the ‘give a slap, then a sweet date’ tactic.

She knew she had to give her little dog some incentive.

“Can you really take me to see it?”

Lu Zijin looked at Wei Lan and, sure enough, saw her little dog’s eyes light up.

“Mm.

I’ll take you there in a bit.”

“Thank you, sister.”

Wei Lan happily leaned in and hugged Lu Zijin.

She knew her sister was a very good person.

Sister hadn’t ignored her these past few days because she was too busy.

As long as she hadn’t abandoned her, it was fine.

Seeing her little dog so happy, Lu Zijin’s mood improved as well.

She had gone three days without seeing her little dog, and she herself had been holding back for three days.

But they were about to take her little dog to the jade exhibition.

She couldn’t do anything to her little dog now.

She just leaned in and kissed Wei Lan’s cheek.

Wei Lan naturally felt Lu Zijin’s movement.

She blushed shyly, her ear tips turning red.

“Oh, blushing again? So good.”

Lu Zijin rubbed Wei Lan’s hair with a smile.

While they were talking, Zhou Xiao had already parked the car in the mall’s underground garage.

Wei Lan followed Lu Zijin out of the car.

This mall was one of the most expensive in Panyang City.

Wei Lan would never shop here on her own.

Lu Zijin saw her dazed expression and smiled.

“Come on.

Your clothes right now are too ‘student’.

I’ll pick out a few things for you.”

“Well, I am a student.”

Wei Lan murmured.

Lu Zijin smiled and tickled Wei Lan’s palm.

“Be good.

Little dogs need to obey.”

Hearing Lu Zijin call her ‘little dog’, Wei Lan’s ear tips reddened slightly.

She quickly trotted over and took Lu Zijin’s hand.

Lu Zijin took her directly to the women’s clothing section.

As soon as they entered the store, the sales assistants came over eagerly.

“Miss, please look over here.

These are all our newest arrivals.”

“Okay.

I’ll take a look.”

Lu Zijin walked over to a rack and picked up a few new t-shirts, a few pairs of casual pants, and then chose three dresses.

She handed the clothes to Wei Lan and smiled.

“Go try them on.”

Wei Lan looked at the pile of clothes in her arms and felt overwhelmed.

“That many?”

“Go try them on.

Be good.”

Lu Zijin urged with a smile.

Wei Lan had no choice but to obediently go into the fitting room.

After each outfit, she would come out and let Lu Zijin see.

If Lu Zijin liked it, she kept it; if not, it was set aside.

In the end, she kept five t-shirts, four pairs of casual pants, and three dresses.

Lu Zijin had them wrapped and delivered to her residence.

Just these items alone cost sixty thousand yuan.

After leaving that store, Lu Zijin took Wei Lan to buy sportswear.

Wei Lan followed behind, murmuring softly, “Sister, everything here is so expensive.

This is plenty already.

No need to buy more.”

Lu Zijin, however, was amused.

“Be good.

If you don’t let me buy things for you, I’ll be angry.”

The moment Wei Lan heard that Lu Zijin might get angry, she immediately fell silent.

Seeing her little dog was quiet, Lu Zijin took her to a sports brand store, bought three sets of sportswear, and then took her to buy shoes – the season’s latest athletic shoes, casual shoes, and combat boots.

Wei Lan secretly did the math.

Her sister had spent over a hundred thousand yuan on her in just one outing.

Her heart felt a little sour.

The gap between her and her sister was so big.

Could they really be together?

Lu Zijin had no idea what Wei Lan was thinking.

She was very happy to be able to buy clothes for her little dog.

Seeing her little dog all dressed up and looking beautiful made her very happy.

“Let’s go.

First, we’ll go home.

You change clothes, and I’ll take you to Master Ji’s jade exhibition.”

Lu Zijin pinched Wei Lan’s palm and said with a smile.

“Okay.”

Wei Lan obediently followed Lu Zijin back home.

When they returned to the garden villa, the clothes and shoes they had just bought had already arrived.

Lu Zijin had Zhang Ma pack up a few outfits for Wei Lan to take back to wear, and leave the rest at the villa for when she came over.

Wei Lan obediently let Lu Zijin arrange everything.

Lu Zijin had her change into a white t-shirt, light gray casual pants, and the new white platform sneakers.

Looking at her little dog in her new clothes, Lu Zijin was even more satisfied.

Her little dog, with just a little dressing up, was the most beautiful.

Lu Zijin beckoned to Wei Lan.

Wei Lan obediently pounced into Lu Zijin’s arms and even nuzzled against her, acting spoiled.

Lu Zijin reached out and pinched Wei Lan’s ear tip, deliberately kissing it.

“My little dog is so good.”

Hearing this, Wei Lan blushed even more and nuzzled against Lu Zijin.

If it was for her sister, she didn’t mind being a little dog.

“It’s about time.

Let’s go.”

Lu Zijin took Wei Lan’s hand and led her outside.

Zhou Xiao was waiting there, with another car following behind – Lu Zijin’s personal bodyguards.

Soon, Wei Lan saw the car stop in front of an upscale private club.

Getting out, she saw that the surrounding cars were all luxury vehicles.

Wei Lan was stunned.

If it weren’t for her sister, she definitely wouldn’t have been qualified to visit.

Lu Zijin beckoned to her.

“Come on.

I’ll take you inside.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan nervously looked around, seeing that everyone here was wealthy and influential.

She followed Lu Zijin into the exhibition hall.

Before they had taken a few steps, someone came over to strike up a conversation with Lu Zijin.

“President Lu, you found time to come?”

Lu Zijin nodded at the person.

“Mm.

My friend likes jade carving, so I came along with her.

Excuse us.”

With that, Lu Zijin pulled Wei Lan into the exhibition hall.

She hadn’t come to talk business today.

She was just here to ‘walk her little dog’.

Wei Lan was a bit shy at first, but when she saw the jade ornaments in the hall, her eyes lit up.

She looked at each piece with fascination, afraid of missing a single detail.

Seeing her little dog happy, Lu Zijin’s eyes curved with a smile.

She didn’t disturb her, just stayed by Wei Lan’s side, smiling.

Everyone who came was a prominent figure in Panyang City, or at least second or third-generation rich.

So, many people recognized Lu Zijin.

Quite a few were secretly looking their way.

After all, Lu Zijin was impervious to advances; all the alphas who pursued her were ruthlessly rejected.

So, many were speculating about the young alpha by Lu Zijin’s side.

They had never heard of this person, but they all thought Wei Lan was good-looking.

No wonder she had caught Lu Zijin’s eye.

Wei Lan knew nothing of this.

She was carefully examining the carvings, getting more and more excited.

She just hoped that one day she could carve something this beautiful.

Lu Zijin saw Master Ji come out.

She patted Wei Lan.

“Let’s go.

Master Ji is here.

I’ll take you to say hello.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan’s eyes lit up.

She really liked Master Ji’s carvings but had never had the chance to meet her in person.

Lu Zijin took Wei Lan over to greet Master Ji.

“Master Ji, I’ve brought a friend to look around.

She also really likes jade carving.”

Lu Zijin had bought many carvings from Master Ji, so they were fairly acquainted.

Seeing Wei Lan beside her, Master Ji smiled.

“Is that so?

Perhaps sometime we can carve together.”

“Hello, Master Ji.”

Wei Lan also smiled and greeted her.

Wei Lan knew that Master Ji was only saying this out of courtesy to Lu Zijin.

Even her disciples were now masters in the jade carving world.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wei Lan continued her tour.

Seeing that she loved looking, Lu Zijin didn’t rush her.

She just treated it as a walk for her little dog.

After all, she had neglected her little dog for three days.

Now that she had time, there was no harm in accompanying her a little longer.
