14 Robber in the Room

As she turned to leave, she heard Fang Shi exclaim, "Wait, Miss Jin Yinghui. Mr. Lu told me to give this car to you."

Elena opened her mouth in shock, "What? It's okay, I only walked today because I forgot my wallet."

Fang Shi shook his head and explained, "Miss Jin Yinghui, I'll tell you something. Don't tell Mr. Lu I said this. Mr. Lu and I are both kind of surprised that you haven't asked for anything yet. I can tell that Mr. Lu treats you differently from his other girlfriends, so please accept this gift. Plus, I won't know what to tell him if you don't accept this."

Elena widened her eyes, "Ask for anything?"

"Yes, ask for money or something. If you watch the news, you would know that you dating Mr. Lu has already been revealed this morning. The public knows you are his girlfriend now. Usually, other girls by now would have already asked him for money, a house, or something expensive. I was kind of surprised that you didn't come today to ask for money."

Elena was amazed at this comment. She had completely forgotten that she only dated Lu Chenjun so she could gain more fame in the entertainment industry. She is pretty dumb. Why hadn't she asked him for money yet?

She laughed awkwardly and said, "Well then. Can you thank Mr. Lu for me?"

Elena glanced at the new car and almost laughed out loud. She is so lucky. She had thought that walking there was a bad idea, but in exchange for an excellent new car, she would totally walk there every day.

Fang Shi smiled and handed the car keys over to Jin Yinghui.

"Well, I'll get going then."

Fang Shi turned around and his entire expression changed. He lowered his head and felt like crying. Now, he didn't have a car to use, and merciless Mr. Lu told him to just walk back to the company

Plus, he didn't even have a year-end award to encourage and motivate him.

Elena slowly made her way up the stairs to her apartment room. Her cold didn't seem to be getting better. As she entered the room, she found Mila watching the TV. She dropped the lunchbox and swung the car key around in her hand.

Mila turned to look at Elena and her eyes widened at the sight of a car key. She immediately hopped up from the couch and ran over.

"When did you buy a car? Oh my god, this brand is very expensive. You never told me you had that much money."

Elena handed the key over and headed to her room, "Lu Chenjun gave it to me. I'm going to take a nap. That usually helps me recover from colds. Don't disturb me."

Mila turned the car key over and over again and held it like it was a diamond.

"I wish I was Lu Chenjun's girlfriend. He is so generous!"

She hugged the small key to her chest as she slumped back onto the couch and began watching TV again.

It had already been four hours, and Elena still hasn't woken up yet. Usually, her naps didn't exceed three hours. Mila had eaten a pack of ramen already, and she decided to go in and check on Elena.

"Wake up, you lazy pig. It's already 7 P.M. Are you planning to sleep all the way till tomorrow?"

Elena didn't wake up but instead frowned in her sleep.

Mila was confused, and she put the back of her hand onto Elena's forehead. It was burning hot. She jumped up in shock. She hurriedly left the apartment room and went to go buy some fever medicine.

In the nearby supermarket, she found some over-the-counter fever reducer. As she turned to leave the aisle, she bumped into a tall man. She looked up to see who it was that didn't have eyes and found herself face-to-face to Fang Shi.

Fang Shi had just got off of work and wanted to buy some snacks from the supermarket. This was supposed to be a happy activity, but who knew that he would bump into this lady. She was the one that had caused him to lose half of his year-end award.

He glared at Mila, who stared straight back.

"What are you doing here?"

Mila laughed at his comment, "Ch! Why? Do you own this supermarket? Why can't I come?"

Fang Shi widened his eyes in anger. In the company, everyone except Mr. Lu talked to him in with respect. He hadn't been treated this way in a long time.

"One sentence from me and I could get Mr. Lu to buy this supermarket."

Mila laughed loudly at this comment.

"You? Hahaha, that's the best joke I heard all week. Mr. Lu almost fired you just for grabbing some breakfast. He will totally waste his money to buy a supermarket for you. Hahahaha!"

Fang Shi took a deep breath and shot daggers with his eyes at Mila. Mila purposely bumped his shoulder as she walked passed him and hurried to go check out.

As she was doing self-checkout, Fang Shi appeared next to her.

He glared over at what she was buying and asked, "You have a fever? Wow, you're actually stronger than a man. How are you still so aggressive with a fever?"

"You idiot. I'm not the one with a fever. Elena is the one with a fever."

Fang Shi almost screamed out loud. He immediately dropped the bag of chips he was checking out and pulled out his phone. Mr. Lu had told him to report any news of Miss Jin Yinghui to him.

The phone call connected and Lu Chenjun's impatient voice sounded, "What? This better be important."

Lu Chenjun was checking his work emails, and he didn't like it when people disturbed him while working.

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu! Miss Jin Yinghui has a fever!"

Mila glared at Fang Shi and tried to snatch the phone away from him. Fang Shi stepped on his toes and kept listening to Mr. Lu. Mila was too short for Fang Shi and had trouble reaching the phone even if she jumped.

"Stupid! Are you trying to take revenge? You lost your award because of your own stupidity, stop trying to take it out on me!"

Fang Shi hung up the phone and laughed at Mila.

"You should go back to your apartment. Mr. Lu is going to your apartment and you should be ready to welcome him."

Mila jumped up in surprise and ran out of the shop.

Fang Shi rolled his eyes and finished checking out.

Back in the apartment, Elena woke up. She wasn't feeling better after a nap, but instead, she felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. She called for Mila but no one replied. She slowly sat up and felt a sharp pain on her head.

She put a palm onto her forehead and found that she had a fever.

The door clicked open and Elena immediately called out for Mila. No one replied, and Elena called again. Again there was no reply.

Elena looked left and right.

'Is it a robber?' She thought.

She forced herself out of bed and limped around. She located a hairbrush and picked it up, preparing to try and knock out whoever was outside. She silently opened the door and found a guy dressed in all black standing at the kitchen table. She lifted up the hairbrush in one hand and slowly crept closer to him.

He seemed to be trying to steal something from the kitchen. Why does his hair look so familiar? Just as Elena was ready to slam the hairbrush down, the man turned around holding a glass cup.

Elena screamed at the sight of the man's face and swung the brush down. She closed her eyes and felt a pressure stopping the brush. She slowly blinked one eye open and saw a hand pushing the brush up.

She turned her gaze to look at the man's face and her mouth fell open.

"Lu Chenjun!"
