◎ Why Did He Suddenly Get Upset? ◎
Lu Jinzhu's expression was somewhat unnatural, his ears slightly red, but his eyes remained fixed on Dong Jiaojiao without any sign of hesitation.
He wanted to observe her reaction, not missing any subtle movements.
However, his slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed his nervousness.
His hands, resting by his sides, clenched unconsciously, and he deliberately slowed his breathing, afraid of disturbing her.
Dong Jiaojiao looked into Lu Jinzhu's eyes and noticed that his pupils were a deep, pure black, as profound as a cosmic black hole, as if they might pull her in.
Hearing his question, Dong Jiaojiao found it odd. Their relationship wasn't at that level yet.
She wondered if Lu Jinzhu was trying to play matchmaker. During dinner, she had been particularly courteous and warm to Chen Yuanjiang because he was her job introducer.
Dong Jiaojiao swore she had no romantic intentions towards Chen Yuanjiang. She wasn't being self-deprecating; she was just realistic.
Chen Yuanjiang was a young senior engineer at the machinery factory, and although she didn't know his exact background, she felt they were mismatched.
Even if Chen Yuanjiang didn't mind her being divorced, his parents certainly would.
Dong Jiaojiao wasn't interested in dealing with such complicated social relationships. She just wanted a simple life.
As for Lu Jinzhu, Dong Jiaojiao had never considered that he might like her. He was Lu Yao's uncle, and Dong Jiaojiao felt there was a generational gap.
If Lu Jinzhu were a few years older, he could almost be her father. Furthermore, Lu Jinzhu's status and conditions far exceeded Chen Yuanjiang's.

MoMo: Its only 10 years gap though, he will not be your father at 28 girl (⚈₋₍⚈)
Lu Jinzhu: Thanx MoMo (ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅)
Dong Jiojiao: LU JINZHU! Did you say something (҂ 'з') ︻╦̵̵̿╤──
Lu Jinzhu: No dear (* °ヮ° *) 🏳️ help.......MoMo
MoMo:¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The idea of Lu Jinzhu liking her seemed as unlikely as mountains breaking apart and the heavens joining.
So she directly said, "Director Lu, thank you for your concern, but I just got divorced. I'm not considering anything in that area right now."
"And you and Chen Yuanjiang...?"
Dong Jiaojiao immediately thought, as expected, Lu Jinzhu was trying to play matchmaker between her and Chen Yuanjiang.
It was surprising that Lu Jinzhu, being a grown man, had such an interest.
Dong Jiaojiao interrupted him, "No, no, Director Lu, you must be misunderstanding. Chen Yuanjiang and I are just casual acquaintances. We're not suitable for each other."
"I thought you met through an introduction?" Lu Jinzhu asked.
"No, did Chen Yuanjiang tell you that?" Dong Jiaojiao explained how she met Chen Yuanjiang.
