Chapter 723: Chapter 723 Prolonged a new time frame

Chapter 723 Prolonged a new time frame

Inside the conference room of Cloth Co., Liu Shan remained rooted to the floor as he stares between Yue Ling and Lu Tian. After a long minute, he heaves a long sigh and walks over to sit on the chair next to his boss.

He pulls the chair back but shivers when he felt a cold breeze brush past him. He pushes the chair back inside and reaches for another chair to sit. He made sure that he wasn't too close to Yue Ling or else his head will be cut off by the King of Jealousy.

Yue Ling was dumbfounded by what he did. Whenever they attend a meeting, he was always sat on the chair next to her. She didn't understand why he would suddenly take a seat two chairs away from her.

Unlike her, Lu Tian felt rather pleased by Liu Shan's decision. Of course, Yue Ling wouldn't think that her assistant did this because of the aloof man.

Not thinking much about the weird behavior of her assistant, she looks back at Lu Tian.

Her entire being turned aloof like the man seated across from her. It was as if they were not lovers nor acquaintances.

"Mr. Lu, should we start the meeting?"

Lu Tian was baffled by the way she addressed him and the change in her demeanor. He thought she would be happy to see him and know that the person she is working with is him. However, staring at her cold expression, he couldn't help but swallow a hard gulp.

'What should I do? Why does she look so mad at me?'

He thought the two questions then glance at Liu Shan who was sitting on the right side of him.

Meeting the aloof man's eyes, Liu Shan knew exactly what was on his (Lu Tian) mind. He shrugs both his shoulders in secret and sends back a nonverbal answer.

'Don't look at me. This is how she is at all meetings.'

'…'

Lu Tian's thoughts turned chaotic by the assistant. No words were said verbally, but he understood the assistant's eyes.

He heaves a long sigh and looks at his wife in the eyes.

"Yue Ling, you don't have to speak formally here. Everyone here knows that you are my fiancé."

Hearing his words, Yue Ling's expression did not waver, nor did she change her expression. She places her hands over the black folder and kept a straight face.

"Mr. Lu, I may be your fiancé, but this is a professional meeting between two businesses."

She would be lying if she isn't happy that the owner of Cloth Co. is none other than Lu Tian. However, that doesn't change anything.

Even if the person in front of her was her grandfather, she will still act accordingly to all the other businesses she has conducted. As one should know, she is never one to take advantage of the other party just because they are close.

Lu Tian was even more baffled by her attitude towards him. He could only sigh inside and let her have it her way.

"Fine. Have it your way then."

His words fell and the soft expression on his face turned colder than the winter breeze. It was his usual expression that he has on when he attends meetings.

Seeing this quick change in him, Yue Ling felt more at ease. She didn't want Lu Tian to agree to her proposal because they are in a relationship.

She lowers her head to the black folder and opens it. Taking out the contract she had created for this meeting, she places it on top of the closed folder.

"De L'amour would like to propose a partnership with Cloth Co. for 3 years. Within that time frame, De L'amour will not conduct any outside businesses with other textile companies."

She passes the contract to Liu Shan then looks at Lu Tian again.

"Cloth Co. will supply all fabrics and materials De L'amour needs. As the buyer, De L'amour is willing to purchase everything mentioned in the contract as long as Cloth Co. settles on a fixed price."

Her words fell in a professional and formal tone. She did not beat around the bush but went straight to the point of her purpose in coming here.

Liu Shan was scared out of his wits. The tension inside the room made him want to step outside. However, he picks up the contract document and stood up. He walks over to Lu Tian and set the contract in front of him.

"As the CEO of De L'amour, I have signed the contract in advance. If there is anything in the contract that you find dissatisfying, you may change it or add on."

Lu Tian remained in silence as he listens to his wife. He looked like he was pondering hard about her offer, but deep inside, he was thinking about how attractive she looked at this moment.

Calm, efficient, straightforward, and knew exactly what she wanted.

As he thought this, his brows slightly furrow together. If he is thinking this way, does this mean other men think this way too?

His frown deepens and he slightly purses his lips in displeasure. How can he stop other men from having thoughts about his women?

"Mr. Lu."

Yue Ling's voice suddenly brought Lu Tian back to his senses. He glances at her then down to the contract in front of his.

Not wanting to anger his wife, he picks it up and scans over the document. Reading a certain line, he looks up at his wife.

"De L'amour is proposing for three years?"

Yue Ling nods her head and entwined her fingers on top of the table.

"That is correct. If De L'amour breaches the contract in any way, Cloth Co. may ask for monetary compensation or see what is fit for action."

Looking back at the contract in his hands, Lu Tian's frown remained the same.

He set the contract down on the table and leans back on his chair. He crosses one arm over his chest as he touches his chin with the other.

"Three years is not a problem, but…"

His words fell in a low murmur only he could hear. His wife is asking for three years, but he wants to make it a lifetime. So long as their companies are tied together in this contract, whatever she needs, he will supply for her.

Remembering her words of allowing him the change or add on to the contract, a very tiny smile appears on his face.

He lowers his hand on his chin and leans forward in his seat. He reaches for a pen inside the inner pocket of his suit jacket and looks at his wife.

Just as the pen in his hand was about to touch the contract, he stops and looks at his wife.

"May I?"

Yue Ling was unaware of his intentions. Thinking that he has agreed to everything De L'amour is offering, she nods her head.

Haven't returned to his seat, Liu Shan stood near Lu Tian as he was waiting for the aloof man to sign the contract. However, he was curious about what Lu Tian is thinking.

As someone who is particularly good at reading lips, he had read what Lu Tian was murmuring about the contract being proposed for three years.

Lu Tian took the opportunity to do a few changes to the contract. After all, his wife had already signed it, so she cannot say anything.

Once he was done, he signs his signature and passes the contract to Liu Shan.

"Three years is the time frame De L'amour proposed but I find that a problem, so I have prolonged a new time frame."

His words fell the same time Liu Shan handed the contract back to Yue Ling.

Both the boss and assistant were struck speechless by the aloof man. How did they not see this coming?

Yue Ling glances down at the contract and flips the page to see what he had changed. However, two things had been changed by him.

One, all fixed price Cloth Co. has to offer will be cut down to half price, and two, the three-year contract suggested has been changed to ten years.

Yue Ling's hands tremble ever so slightly as she held onto the contract. She could not believe that Lu Tian would make such a ridiculous change. Ten years of partnership is not a problem, but having cut down the fixed prices to half price, what will he gain from this?

She set the contract down and looks at him. Seeing how calm and collected he is, she couldn't help but try to read what he is thinking.

The coldness that was once on Lu Tian's face had long disappeared. He smiles a small smile at his wife and part his lips.

"Is there a problem?"

Yue Ling wanted to ask him why he would cut the prices, but before she opens her mouth, the shut door to the room slams open.

"Ahh! It's Jafar!"

Like a little girl inside a haunted house, Liu Shan screamed at the sight of Manager He. However, he quickly covers his mouth. He could not believe that he had screamed aloud. His eyes scan the room and sigh in relief when he saw that no one heard him.

"Whew, I'm safe."

He whispers to himself and slaps his mouth for speaking carelessly.

Manager He rushes over to Lu Tian and bends down to whisper near the man's ear.

"Boss, it's not good. She is here and she knows."

Lu Tian heaves a sigh at the middle-aged man. He pinches the space between his brows.

"Where is she right now?"

"LU TIAN!!!"

Just as his question fell, a woman's raging voice thunders from behind the door before she enters the room like an angry beast ready to unleash her wrath.

Lu Tian moves his hand to massage his forehead while Manager He jumps in fear at the voice. On the opposite side of them, Yue Ling and Liu Shan turn to look at the owner of the voice.

When they who it was, Liu Shan furrow his brows in confusion while Yue Ling arches her brows in surprise and thought.

Why is she here?
