"Take Gu Chen’s position."
"!!!"
"It’s settled then, starting tomorrow you’ll go to work. I’ll take you there."
Xiao Qing was incredibly frustrated, she originally thought she could return to filming, but who knew Gu Chen would do this, and she didn’t expect Lu Jinyang to involve her in his plans. If she had known, she wouldn’t have spoken so much earlier.
For a mont, Xiao Qing deeply regretted her actions earlier.
The next day, when Xiao Qing appeared in front of Lu Jinyang dressed in formal attire and high heels, Lu Jinyang looked her up and down and thoughtfully said, "I think I’m having second thoughts..."
Was she going to work like this?
A white shirt and a black pencil skirt, accentuating her figure, and the shirt had two buttons undone, she didn’t look like she was going to work at all.
However, Xiao Qing was unaware, thinking Lu Jinyang was joking with her. She glanced at him sideways, "Too late." She had spent the entire night convincing herself to accept this fact, only for him to change his mind today.
Who says won are fickle? Clearly, this man in front of her is even more so.
He lazily smiled and then bent down. After the kiss, she angrily said, "It’s all your fault, my makeup’s ruined. Now I have to spend extra ti fixing it."
"Fix what makeup, you’re going to work."
"I’m doing this to give you face." She said, linking arms with him as they walked out, "I’m now an official employee, I can’t be late."
Lu Jinyang shook his head with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
He originally planned for Xiao Qing to go to New City so that she wouldn’t be bored at ho. Who would have thought that half a month later, Guan Juntao ca and told him that his wife had a great talent for managing the company and had straightened out all the previously dissatisfied employees.
Suddenly, Lu Jinyang decided to visit New City.
That day, Xiao Qing finished her work early. It was Friday, and she planned to go ho early to be with the kids.
As she walked to the parking lot, she bumped into soone she hadn’t seen in a long ti.
-
It had been months since the last ti she’d seen Xiao Yiting. He hadn’t returned to the United States; after all, Old Master Xiao had been thrown into International Waters by Lu Jinyang’s people, and Fan Min was being confined by Lu Jinyang, her status unknown.
In the Empire, the only connection he had was Xiao Qing’s family. As he grew older, he particularly wanted to have his family together. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to co over.
Xiao Yiting had only planned to watch her from afar and then leave. But as he found her car, he saw her walking over and had no ti to hide, forced to face her.
He clearly saw the surprise and conflict in her eyes. He thought she might pretend not to see him, but she walked over and stopped in front of him.
"Uncle~" she said.
Xiao Yiting responded lightly, "So you’re working here too, I thought Jinyang would be here today."
"He’s not. Do you need sothing?"
Not having seen Xiao Yiting for a long ti, Xiao Qing noticed he had aged a lot, his once jet-black hair now white. Her heart was a mix of emotions.
"I’m here with a friend on business, I’ll be going now~"
"Alright."
He waved his hand, and Xiao Qing saw a scar on his wrist, probably from when Lu Jinyang told her they found him with his tendons cut.
Watching him walk farther away, Xiao Qing, against her better judgnt, chased after him, eting his surprised gaze, only to realize she had nothing to say to him.
In her urgency, she asked, "Uncle, do you know if my mom had any sisters?"
Xiao Yiting was shocked and tried to steady himself, "Why are you asking this?"
"It’s like this, my mom said I have an aunt, but she disappeared a long ti ago. I want to know what happened back then."
Relieved, Xiao Yiting said, "I’m not too sure." If he knew the woman’s whereabouts, he would have sought her out long ago.
Xiao Qing didn’t fully believe him since older people usually have more knowledge about family backgrounds. But since he claid ignorance, not wanting to press, she said, "Alright then, goodbye."
"Hmm, goodbye."
Xiao Qing turned back to her car, only to see another car parked beside it. Wasn’t it Lu Jinyang’s old car that he couldn’t bear to replace for years?
Full of joy, she ran over, unabashedly kissed him deeply.
What woman doesn’t enjoy such surprises?
Her initiative delighted Lu Jinyang, seeing she got in the car without asking, he eyed her sideways, "Aren’t you worried I’m here to pick soone else up?"
"Aren’t you here to pick up?"
"And if I say I’m not?"
Without thinking, Xiao Qing said, "Then great, I’d like to see which little vixen dares to entice you right under my nose."
Hearing this, Lu Jinyang laughed softly, taking a while to stop, "In my eyes, the only vixen is you, my exclusive one."
"You rascal!"
Starting the car again, Lu Jinyang recalled the previous scene and asked her, "Who were you talking to earlier?"
"It was my uncle...Xiao Yiting. Haven’t seen him for a long ti, he’s aged a lot." In her mind, uncle had always been a handso, classy older man, but today’s eting completely refreshed her mory.
"Oh? What did he say?"
"He ntioned he was here with a friend on business." Xiao Qing said, leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes, "I’ll nap for a bit."
"Alright."
Lu Jinyang’s eyes darkened with a hint of doubt, and as they drove past the direction where Xiao Yiting had disappeared, he deliberately slowed down to take a look, but Xiao Yiting was nowhere to be seen.
For Xiao Yiting’s claim, Xiao Qing might believe it, but it didn’t an he did.
To his knowledge, ever since he released him before their wedding, he had been living in a small apartnt, making a living through freelance graphic work.
If there were friends, his informants hadn’t ntioned any so Xiao Yiting must have been lying.
A father having to be so cautious around his own daughter didn’t sit well with Lu Jinyang. But he planned to keep this matter confidential to avoid hurting anyone further.
Unbeknownst to him, his and Zhang Qianqi’s concealnt only fueled Xiao Qing’s curiosity.
Later, an accidental discovery only deepened Xiao Qing’s inquisitiveness.
