Lu Moqing never expected Qiao Xu to co back. Because the company’s reserve price was leaked, the case for that project had to be restarted.
As a person in his position, he couldn’t possibly be idle. Even if he had a group of capable and elite people working under him, he couldn’t stay idle for too long.
Despite knowing this, Qiao Xu still looked displeased when she saw him working on his laptop while he was sick in bed.
Lu Moqing looked at Qiao Xu in front of him, his face unable to hide his delight and excitent.
Seeing Qiao Xu place the thermos on the table, she said indifferently, "I just made so soup for my grandpa. He couldn’t finish it, so he asked to bring it to you."
Upon hearing these words, the smile on the corner of Lu Moqing’s mouth froze for half a second but quickly concealed it.
When he had just seen her co in with sothing in her hand, he had thought it was specially prepared for him. It turned out that he was just wishful thinking.
He had done so many wrong things to her, how could she still be so good to him and bring him soup?
Her coming over to see him and still speaking to him was already the best she could do.
After comforting himself in this way, Lu Moqing’s gloomy mood instantly improved.
He moved his computer aside, got out of bed, and walked over to Qiao Xu with a beaming smile in his eyes.
"Then I’ll thank Grandpa in person later."
This "Grandpa" was said so naturally that it surprised Qiao Xu, who suddenly paused in her actions.
The Qiao and Lu families were old friends, so even if Qiao Xu and Lu Moqing weren’t husband and wife, it wouldn’t be inappropriate for them to call the old man by such a title.
When she called Grandma Lu "Grandma" herself, she hadn’t found it awkward at all.
But now that she heard Lu Moqing call the old man "Grandpa," it sounded strange to her.
Lu Moqing’s candid deanor, however, made Qiao Xu feel petty for making a fuss over a re title.
So, half a second later, she resud her usual deanor.
"Drink."
She pushed the bowl in front of Lu Moqing and spoke indifferently.
"Thank you, wife."
Lu Moqing approached Qiao Xu ingratiatingly and whispered softly. His hands hanging by his sides were slightly clenched into fists due to his nervousness.
He had blurted out "wife" spontaneously but was worried that Qiao Xu would get angry after saying it.
As a result, his gaze remained fixed on Qiao Xu’s face, but all she gave him was an indifferent look and surprisingly didn’t say anything.
Lu Moqing’s clenched fists relaxed slightly, and his uneasy heart also relaxed by half. He was secretly delighted but didn’t dare to show it on his face.
Lu Moqing took slow sips of the soup Qiao Xu had brought, deliberately slowing down, worried that if he finished too quickly, Qiao Xu would leave without another word with the thermos in tow.
Qiao Xu sat by his side, unsure what to do. She could have gone to the old man’s ward, but her second aunt had driven her out, probably because she had sothing to tell the old man. So it wasn’t appropriate for her to interrupt them at this ti.
From ti to ti, the notification sounds from Lu Moqing’s computer could be heard.
This was a ssaging software specifically for internal communication within their company. Since she ca in, these notification sounds hadn’t stopped.
Those who could be in the sa work group with Lu Moqing were undoubtedly the company’s top executives.
And at this ti, these executives were still working?
