Chapter 577: Chapter 576: There’s Always a Disciple Who Wants to Usurp the Throne!
Playing with fire?
Xiao Qimo suddenly had the feeling he had picked up the wrong script.
He beca more acutely aware that when Lu Mian read romance novels, she definitely identified with the male protagonist.
The man also took a deep breath, “Then are you willing to join in a battle through fire?”
Lu Mian was pondering the aning of that sentence.
But Xiao Qimo didn’t allow her further thought, imprinting a deep kiss on her lips without hesitation.
A lingering and profound kiss.
It wasn’t until Lu Mian was kissed until she couldn’t catch her breath that she was finally released.
Her dark eyes were veiled with a layer of mist, brimming with the tenderness of spring water.
Xiao Qimo found her appearance very much like a little girl, so different from her usual unruly and aloof deanor.
He chuckled and pecked her lips again.
“Be good, just bear with it a little longer,” he endured.
Even if he desired more, he wouldn’t at such a ti.
“Hmm?” Lu Mian tilted her head.
Xiao Qimo didn’t answer her but simply patted her back, as if to soothe her.
Lu Mian always felt she had been manipulated.
But seeing the man who had been sour for most of the day finally behaving normally, her mood improved too.
She got up from his lap.
“Today Xiu Qian ca to and asked to persuade you to go to Sufeng’s press conference,” she said casually, “whether to go or not is up to you.”
Listening to her calm tone, it was as if the person who was emotionally entangled and asking if he was playing with fire a mont ago wasn’t her.
The little rascal is still a little rascal.
Turn around and pretend to not know anyone.
He sat on the chair and casually grabbed a magazine from the table.
Without caring which one, he laid it on his legs and cleared his throat, “No need to bother with him; I won’t go.”
“Oh.” Lu Mian blinked, wondering why Director Qimo was still into street-side ad magazines.
Not figuring it out, she didn’t dwell on it.
Seeing he didn’t want to say more, she also never brought up the question she wanted to ask.
“Oh right, I’ve made plans with my uncle.
Let’s have lunch together tomorrow at noon.”
“Okay.”
Lu Mian nodded and was about to go pack her suitcase.
Just then her phone vibrated in her pocket.
She glanced at the caller ID and answered lazily.
“Master?”
As Lu Mian called out, she smiled at Xiao Qimo and went back to the bedroom.
She couldn’t let Director Qimo hear her discussing a potential arranged eting; that was sothing only she and Master Yun Zhijuan should know.
No one knew Yun Zhijuan better than Lu Mian.
Indeed, Yun Zhijuan was calling about just that.
He thought since the two of them were finally both in Jinjing and close by, whether it worked out or not, they should at least et.
He could guarantee that when Mian Xiaobao t his junior brother, she would definitely be impressed by his masculine charm.
And his junior brother, upon eting Mian Xiaobao, would undoubtedly be captivated by her excellence.
With heartfelt emphasis, Yun Zhijuan spoke on the other end of the line.
“Mian Xiaobao, you’re still in Jinjing, right?
You stood Master up last ti; don’t you think about making it up to ?”
Only Yun Zhijuan could act so shalessly.
Lu Mian rcilessly exposed him, “What do you want, just tell .”
“Just to ask you out for a al.”
Lu Mian paused, then glanced at the man outside the bedroom packing her suitcase, “Master, I have a boyfriend now.”
“…” Yun Zhijuan was taken aback for a while, then stamred.
“What did you say?
You, you’re dating?”
“Yeah.”
“…”
Just a second ago, he was eagerly trying to find a partner for his disciple, yet the mont he heard his disciple was in love, his heart felt so blocked and gloomy.
Yun Zhijuan felt like there was a lump of cotton in his heart as he sourly said, “Who is this person who has hooked your heart away?
No wonder you haven’t been calling your master…”
“He’s very good, I’ll bring him to see you when there’s a chance.”
“I don’t want to see.” He was reluctant to have his beloved disciple swept away by so stranger.
“You, girl, you’re not pretending to be in love just to avoid the matches I’m trying to set up for you, are you?”
Lu Mian sneered, “You’ve finally admitted it.”
“No, I’m just puzzled.
Given your personality, it wouldn’t be so easy for you to fall for soone.
Are you serious or is this just for fun?
If it’s just for fun, I personally advise you not to invest too much.”
Outside the bedroom, Xiao Qimo’s forehead suddenly twitched.
Lu Mian was listening to the other person’s bitterly sour tone.
Why did this old man have two faces?
“Of course, I’m serious.
Anyway, stop trying to set up with soone in the future, I’m quite happy now.”
Yun Zhijuan felt so aggrieved he wanted to cry.
“Oh, and one more thing,” Lu Mian paused, “The IEG database, is it down?
I tried to look soone up last ti and found nothing.”
Yun Zhijuan wasn’t in the mood to manage business affairs and replied sullenly, “You an that all-rounder female professor you were looking up?”
As a leader, anyone who looked up information would leave a trace in his domain, and he naturally knew what Lu Mian had checked in the IEG Building the last ti.
“I don’t know.” He said, annoyed.
“Then help look it up.
You’re the leader, with greater access.”
“I don’t care, I’m already annoyed!
Everyone’s coming to for this or that, I might as well give up my position to you all!” He spoke indignantly.
Xiao Qimo hadn’t even resolved the last matter about the bookmark he’d asked him to investigate.
On the other end, Lu Mian was particularly interested and said excitedly, “Really?”
Yun Zhijuan: “…”
There’s always a disciple eyeing the throne!
Yun Zhijuan hung up the phone with a snap, and Lu Mian felt that her chances of inheriting the leadership had greatly increased, which made her mood even better.
By the ti she made another call, Xiao Qimo had already neatly organized her things.
“Your master?” The man put the suitcase in the cabinet and asked.
“Yes.” Lu Mian nodded, “I’ll bring you to et him when there’s a chance.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Qimo agreed.
Lu Mian didn’t have many people close to her, each one remaining by her side was of utmost importance.
He would definitely treat them with care and caution.
—
The next day at noon, Xiao Qimo did not appear downstairs straight away, and neither did Mo Si and Mo Nie, leaving Lu Mian no choice but to look for him in his room.
In the room.
The scholarly man stood in front of the mirror, putting on a new suit that Mo Si had prepared in advance, looking uncertain for a good while.
Mo Si consoled him, “Sir, what big deal are you going to discuss this ti?”
In the past, Mr.
Mo had never cared about such superficial matters.

Mo Nie handed over so hair gel with decisive certainty, “It must be dealings starting at the ten billion level.”
Xiao Qimo ticulously applied the hair gel, combing his hair neatly.
When Lu Mian ca looking for him, he hadn’t finished grooming himself yet.
The girl leaned against the doorway, watching him with a mixture of amazent and nerves, “You weren’t this nervous last ti we went to my uncle’s place, what’s making you so uneasy this ti?”
Xiao Qimo glanced at her through the mirror.
The little rascal, all this effort was for whom!
Mo Si: Going…
to et the parents?
Mo Nie: The ten billion-level deal is going down the drain!
