Chapter 627: 627, it’s hard to imagine Xiao Yebai washing dishes.
She could only sit there, and to her surprise, Xiao Yebai appeared after breakfast, asking her to help deliver a bag to a Miss Mo in the restroom.
So, were these two a couple?
But this man was so indifferent.
When she was sitting there earlier, she thought that since she helped him, he’d be a bit more polite to her, right?
Unexpectedly, he merely said “thank you”, then sat there without speaking.
Wearing a black coat, thin-framed glasses, meticulously trimmed hair, a handsome and cultured profile, his whole body seemed to radiate an inviolable aloofness.
After she said a few words, she felt too embarrassed to initiate conversation again.
But she didn’t expect that when the girl came over, Xiao Yebai immediately stood up and helped her put on her coat, and they even left hand in hand.
Once outside, he let the girl cling all over him, indulging and affectionate.
Lu Qingtian furrowed her brows and turned to walk towards the law firm.
**
Upon reaching the 10th floor, she took a seat. Two assistants beside her were whispering.
Lu Qingtian frowned, “What are you two chatting about?”
Gossiping instead of working early in the morning!
An assistant immediately said, “Sister Lu, you don’t know yet? Our Lawyer Lu has taken an apprentice!”
“Yeah, and she’s a beauty!”
“What?” Lu Qingtian frowned.
Lu Chenyu was their boss, and also the top-tier lawyer in Nancheng.
He came from a good family, was handsome, and generally quiet, possessing a powerful aura.
After all, the background of the Lu family was clear. It was something they could neither covet nor offend.
The people Lu Chenyu interacted with were all sons of high society. In the law firm, he was always reserved and aloof, never engaging in anything beyond work-related conversations.
Let alone accepting an intern as an apprentice. His assistant has always been a 40-year-old man named Wang, who has been consistently reliable and experienced over many years.
This demonstrated that Lu Chenyu was serious about his work and extremely discerning. As his subordinates, they all highly respected their work and dared not act improperly in his presence.
Yet, such a man has taken a beautiful intern as his apprentice?
Vexing.
Truly vexing.
However, when the conference room door opened and the HR Director walked out with a familiar figure, Lu Qingtian was taken aback.
It was…
The girl she had met at the breakfast store!
She was dressed in a dark blue professional outfit, smiling and listening to HR talk, and her assigned workstation was in the same room as Old Wang’s.
Lu Qingtian furrowed her brow.
“Wow, she’s really pretty!”
“She looks like a doll!”
“I heard from Xiaoli downstairs when she came for the interview! I didn’t expect she’d really be hired!”
“I can’t believe our Lu has fallen for her!”
“She truly is gorgeous, which man wouldn’t fall for her?”
“So, are we getting a madam?”
“Stop chatting!” Lu Qingtian interrupted impatiently, “Have you prepared the documents that I asked for yesterday?”
The two assistants stuck out their tongues, and hastily got back to work.
In a law firm dominated by men, it wasn’t easy for Lu Qingtian to get to her position, especially with her being attractive.
She had always been considered a flower in the firm, but now… a younger and prettier one had arrived.
Lu Qingtian thought of the intimate demeanour of the two in the breakfast shop earlier, her delicate eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

“Miss Mo, this is…”
“Mr. Wang, just call me Weiyi,” Mo Weiyi quickly said.
Old Wang pushed his glasses up and nodded, “Weiyi, this is our work code and regulations, this is an introduction to our law firm, these are the cases we’ve been handling in the recent months, and here are the media reports about our firm over the past few years, and these…”
Old Wang spoke as he dropped a file folder.
Soon, Mo Weiyi’s desk was piled up with folders like a small mountain.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Go over these materials first, get familiar with them and if you have any questions, ask me.”
“… Okay.”
Mo Weiyi looked at the mound of materials, guessing she would need an eternity to go through them.
“Also, Lawyer Lu comes to the office at 10 in the morning and leaves at 4 in the afternoon. During this period, you can’t slack off. If he sees it, he’ll punish you.”
“Okay.”
After saying this, Old Wang returned to his work.
Mo Weiyi sat there, opened the “Work Code and Regulations of Yurui Law Firm” and started reading.
**
At 10 in the morning, as expected, Lu Chenyu came to the office on time.
He was still carrying a black briefcase, wearing black clothes, sporting black thin-frame glasses, and looking completely absorbed in a gayish unperturbed manner.
Mo Weiyi had just shifted her gaze when she saw Mr. Wang promptly stood up and followed Lu Chenyu into his office.
Not long after, he came out holding a deep blue thermos and went into the tea room nearby.
Mo Weiyi: “…”
About ten minutes later, Mr. Wang finally comes back, sitting in his chair, patting his chest, all out of breath yet looking rather triumphant.
Seeing Mo Weiyi watching him curiously, Mr. Wang responded with a proud smile, “Can’t help it, Lawyer Lu only drinks the tea I make.”
Mo Weiyi blinked her brilliant round eyes, “…Oh.”
**
Lunch break was from eleven-thirty till one-thirty.
When the time came, everyone left for lunch.
Mo Weiyi put down her documents and rubbed her tired eyes.
This was the first time in her life that she had to look at so much incomprehensible material for so long. Added to the fact that she hadn’t slept well the night before and she was cramping from her period, she was honestly feeling quite overwhelmed.
Her phone on the desk rang, so she picked it up and answered.
“Rong An.”
“Princess, shall we eat downstairs or should I buy and bring it to you?”
Mo Weiyi said, “Let’s go downstairs, wait for me.”
“Okay.”
She didn’t want to spend her two-hour lunch break stuck in the office staring at this boring pile of documents.
She put on her coat, picked up her handbag, and left.
Outside, a few people were still waiting for the elevator.
Mo Weiyi noticed a familiar face.
The woman from the breakfast shop this morning?
Is she a lawyer here too?
Lu Qingtian looked at her, nodded her head, and the two assistants by her side immediately greeted her warmly, “Hello.”
Mo Weiyi immediately responded likewise, “Hello.”
“I heard that you’re a junior at Nancheng University?” A chubby assistant asked.
Mo Weiyi nodded, “Yes.”
“Wow, you’re so lucky, you know? Our Lawyer Lu never takes on apprentices.”
“Apprentice?” Mo Weiyi wrinkled her small face.
“Yeah, aren’t you Lawyer Lu’s apprentice?”
“Am I?” Mo Weiyi only knew that she had been allowed to intern here, but she wasn’t clear on the specifics.
“But our Lawyer Lu is really a good man, he brings his own lunch and washes his dishes after eating.”
Mo Weiyi…”…”
Is this a good man?
Isn’t he more like a woman?
Bringing his own meals and washing dishes?
She simply couldn’t imagine Xiao Yebai washing dishes!
Amidst their chit-chat, the elevator door opened, and they all went in.
The assistants were about the same age – they had just graduated – and Mo Weiyi found it easy to chat with them. However, Lu Qingtian remained silent, setting her apart from the others.
“Weiyi, where are you going for lunch?”
Once they arrived on the first floor, the assistants, already acquainted, directly called her by her nick-name.
Mo Weiyi answered, “Not sure yet, where are you guys going?”
“We’re planning to go for Sichuan cuisine, want to join?” The assistant enthusiastically invited her.
“Sichuan food?” Mo Weiyi hesitated, “Maybe not today, I feel like having something light.”
Her stomach was still hurting a bit, she couldn’t eat anything spicy.
“Okay.” The assistants didn’t think much of it.
Lu Qingtian, however, slightly raised her eyebrow.
They had invited her so warmly yet she didn’t want to go. She wanted something light? How finicky could she get?
And given that her boyfriend was rich and drives a Bentley, it makes sense.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the jealousy in her heart, pressed the elevator button, “We’re here.”
As they stepped out, they saw a man dressed in black heading towards them, “Princess.”
The others were struck dumb.
They saw Mo Weiyi hand her elegant handbag to the man, lazily but naturally instructing him, “Rong An, find a nearby restaurant with good ambience, preferably a Hong Kong-style tea house with soup.”
“Alright, Princess.” Rong An, holding that exceptionably ladylike handbag and operating his phone quickly, named a location, and they both set off.
There were a few parking spaces across the street from the law firm.
They got into an Audi and quickly left.
The remaining girls were left staring, dumbfounded.
