He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and Qin Miaomiao casually took it from his hand, taking a drag herself.
This ti, she didn’t choke. Mimicking him, she even inhaled it into her lungs! It gave off a kind of decadent beauty.
Especially when the smoke irritated her lungs, she surprisingly found it exhilarating.
Lu Qing took the cigarette back from her hand and said plainly:
"You’re not allowed to smoke anymore."
"Why not?"
"Because you’ll get addicted."
"Are you addicted?"
"I can control it."
"I’ve heard smoking is bad. Can you quit?"
Lu Qing gave her a deep look and replied calmly:
"If you want to quit, I’ll quit."
Qin Miaomiao rested her head on his chest and said with a smile:
"If this thing brings you joy, as long as it’s in moderation, then there’s no need."
"Oh? You’re not going to interfere?"
"You’re my man. If I nagged you every day, you’d be sick of it. Being together is about feeling at ease. If you kept pushing to lose weight every day, I wouldn’t be happy either."
"Director Zhao was your doing, and Zhao Qingqing was also handled by you. There’s no way they would agree to collaborate with for no reason. You arranged all this behind the scenes— I understand."
Handling the company’s troubles was sothing she thought she could manage, but unexpectedly, Lu Qing had already taken care of everything the mont it arose.
The most perfect solution!
Even though he hadn’t said a word, Qin Miaomiao understood everything.
Lu Qing’s lips curved slightly. Being recognized by his wife was indeed a very aningful thing.
"Since you’re so touched, how about offering yourself to ?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I’ve already offered myself once."
Qin Miaomiao imdiately covered her necklace— a casually thrown gift from Lu Qing before getting in the car, as if sothing worth tens of millions was rely trivial to him.
"You’re overdoing it! This is what they call bombarding people with jewelry! Believe it or not, I’ll bombard you with cash?"
Lu Qing’s lips curved again:
"Then you’ll need a room full of cash. I’m pretty expensive."
Qin Miaomiao: .....
"Husband, you’re getting thicker-skinned by the day. Your persona is collapsing! Aren’t you supposed to be a domineering CEO? Look at the state you’re in now. Watch out, or you’ll lose your fans."
Lu Qing lowered his head to look at her, gradually leaning closer. His faint scent inched nearer, causing her skin to tingle and her heartbeat to race violently in her chest.
Even her breathing beca erratic. Despite being so familiar with him, she still felt her heart flutter at his intimate gestures. It was undeniable— he had a face that drove won crazy.
"What did you just say? Say it again."
"I...
Qin Miaomiao opened her mouth to say sothing, but he lowered his head and kissed her cheek. She quickly covered her face:
"What are you doing? I have makeup on! If you kiss , you’ll end up eating foundation!"
His deep gaze fell on her red lips, glistening like a ripe fruit.
"Actually, I’d prefer to taste your lipstick."
Before Qin Miaomiao could react, his lips were already on hers.
After the heated kiss ended, Qin Miaomiao hurriedly took out her small mirror to check. Her lipstick was completely smudged, making her look like she had a gaping clown mouth.
Lu Qing’s lips were also stained red, and the stark contrast against his handso face gave him a comical look.
Qin Miaomiao glanced at his face and burst into laughter. She quickly grabbed a wet tissue to wipe his lips:
"Look at you! You’ve turned into a big-mouthed monkey. So ugly. So, so ugly."
Lu Qing, however, replied in a suggestive tone, "We’ll continue when we get ho."
Continue? Continue what? Kissing with lipstick on?
She took out her lipstick and began reapplying it in the small mirror.
"Wait, let do it."
As he spoke, he reached out, took the lipstick from her hand, and carefully applied it on her lips.
Watching his chiseled side profile, she chuckled:
"Husband, you’re making think of those ancient n painting their wives’ eyebrows."
"Oh?"
Her lips parted slightly as he filled them in, the vivid red making them look incredibly alluring, stirring a subtle desire.
His gaze began to change. Qin Miaomiao imdiately warned:
"I’m telling you, don’t you dare get any funny ideas! The banquet is about to start. We should go in quickly."
"When we get ho, I’ll properly ’punish’ you."
Hey! Hey! Hey! This "punish" thing imdiately conjured vivid images. Given what Qin Miaomiao knew about him, this seasoned flirt was definitely up to sothing again.
Lu Qing stepped out of the car, extending a hand. Qin Miaomiao took it and followed him into the hotel.
The air was filled with the scent of perfu and expensive cologne, and the place was adorned in dazzling luxury. The attendees were all mbers of high society, with representatives from the other three major families also present.
The four prominent families were closely connected. Qin Miaomiao held onto Lu Qing’s arm as others ca over to make introductions.
In upper-class circles, most people knew about the relationship between the two of them. Although the couple hadn’t made any public statents, it didn’t matter— as long as the inner circle was aware.
One was the heir to the Su Family, the other the fastest-rising nouveau riche. Both were highly desirable partners.
