"I hope I am not disturbing you guys?" Lou Tingxiao asked in a polite voice as soon as he reached the group of three.
"Haha...why are you being soo formal, Lou Tingxiao? Of course, you're not disturbing us. It's not like we are in some heated activity or argument that you interrupted." Wang Jie said, earning a laugh from the ladies.
"Senior, Lou Tingxiao." Bai Rouyan greeted him, passing a small gentle smile.
Lou Tingxiao glanced at Qingxi from the corner of his eyes, who was busy eating with a glass of soda in her hand.
Looking at Lou Tingxiao, who was glancing at Qingxi, Wang Jie chuckled before saying,
"Don't bother with her. She doesn't consider anything or anyone more important than food."
Seeing that they were talking about her, Qingxi sipped on the soda while nodding at Lou Tingxiao formally in greeting before going to the nearest table of four and sitting on
"You are just jealous because she treats girls better than you." Bai Rouyan commented before sipping on her wine elegantly."What are you guys talking about?" Qingxi asked as soon as she came back."Nothing. What do you think about dancing and singing tonight, Qingxi? Shouldn't you be showing us your talent and make the environment of the party more pleasant?" Wang Jie asked smirking."Don't even think about it. These high heels are already killing me, to think about dancing and signing in them is next to impossible. Moreover, this high-end elite performance is not for just anybody to see so casually. You've got to earn it, okay?" Qingxi joked."Yeah, yeah. Last time I remembered you sang in that bar because some girl was crying and you wanted her to enjoy her party." Wang Jie said, remembering the old memories."Well...I have sung two more times in a local bar here, since then.
Wang Jie hated Director Li at the moment for interrupting his pleasant moment with Qingxi like this.It was rare for Qingxi to show some affection towards him, and he hates the idea of cutting it short.If it was in his hands, he would probably try everything to spend the whole night like this, not minding his awkward sitting position.As he noticed that Qingxi was about to straighten up, he immediately placed his hand on her head, pushing her head back to where it was before asking,"Will you come and play?" Wang Jie asked."Why not, let's see what they want to play and have fun with. It will be fun, won't it? Besides, the big boss hasn't arrived yet. We'll have to wait for him anyway because he is the main Investor of the movie, ain't we?" Qingxi asked as she turns her head to look up, making Wang Jie regretting his decision to place his hand on her head to keep it in place.Loo
"Hey, Qingxi! What dare did you write?" Wang Jie asked like a curious kid."To slap the 5th person from your right," Qingxi said monotonously as she watched the bottle spinning."What? Why would you write something like this? What if someone ends up slapping you?" Wang Jie asked, really confused by her dare. According to him and as far as he knows Qingxi, she wasn't someone who would do things irrationally, and thus, was feeling confused why she did something like this. And if there was a hidden Moto behind it, then what it was?"Ohh, just wait and see. It'll be fun." Qingxi said before pausing and asking Bai Rouyan,"What did you write in yours?""Hehe... I won't tell you." She smirked."Me too, won't tell." Wang Jie said, mimicking Bai Rouyan's words."Oh, come on, you are making me more curious now," Qingxi said before asking Wang Jie to tell his.&n
Qingxi looked at the bottle, waiting eagerly for the bottle to stop at Pei Mingyue so that she could execute her dare on her.However, unfortunately, when the bottle stopped, it made her widen her eyes in shock momentarily before she calmed herself down thinking that it was nothing."Hehe...it's your turn this time." Both Wang Jie and Bai Rouyan said simultaneously, making Qingxi roll her eyes at their enthusiasm.Qingxi looked at the person who will be asking her questions and found it to be Director Li. This couldn't have gone worse than it already was, could it?"So, Miss Qingxi, the one who has become the favorite girl here, truth or dare?" Director Li asked.'Truth or dare?' Qingxi repeated the question in her mind.'What should she choose? She knew if she chose truth, then like Jiangxi had asked Director Gu about a secret that nobody knows off, Di
Seeing the commotion that was created by everyone's whisperings, Pei Mingyue, who was not interested earlier seeing that no one was coming, also looked behind her to check who had finally arrived and was momentarily shocked at the person who was standing there along with Big boss of Lu corporations, Lu Jingzhe.Not only others, but she felt a bit of sympathy for Qingxi as she saw her face, which looked shocked.As she was looking at Qingxi, not knowing whether she should smirk at the situation, because she will be greatly embarrassed, or she should be feeling sympathy for her, since, she was still new in the industry, she suddenly remembered something.She wanted to curse her luck when she remembered her mummy's words."You are such an unfilial daughter. You have become such a good actress but you still can't give me the pleasure of showing off to everyone that you were also able to marry a ric
"Xiao Xi, my love. It's been soo long since I last met you. Are you ignoring your future husband?" The person said. And as soon as Qingxi heard his words, her eyes accidentally met with Lu Jingzhe, who was looking as calm as ever, but his eyes were telling a different story.She could see a storm brewing in those calm eyes that had turned one shade darker as he looked at her or more specifically the person she was hugging."Hahaha...Can we have a moment?" Qingxi said awkwardly laughing before excusing herself and pulling the person away."Oh my god! Is the world coming to end? This was the same person, I think he was right?" One of them squealed in horror."I don't know about rest, but did you heard his words, right? He called himself the future husband of Qingxi?" One of the people from another table of crew members joined in the discussion.Qingxi stood a few mete
"You want me to kiss you in front of everyone. Don't you?" Qingxi asked as she saw him leaning towards her."Of course, it will help me stake my claim over you later. Besides, I am super pissed that you let anyone touch you and call himself your future husband. Do you think that I'll let go of it soo easily?" Lu Jingzhe said.As Qingxi looked at him, she smirked before holding his collar and bringing him down to her level, since Qingxi's head was covering them, no one was able to see what was exactly happening there.It didn't help that they were standing beside that large pillar and Lu Jingzhe moved a bit behind it, which resulted in covering almost all of their bodies.Lu Jingzhe felt his heartbeat raising as this was the first time Qingxi was about to kiss him on her own without him initiating anything.Leaning towards Lu Jingzhe, Qingxi smiled, kissing the corner of his
"What? I am not going anywhere. Did I call you to come and meet me? It was your choice. Now, don't interrupt our celebration. I want to play this game a little more. It has just started to turn interesting, and you are already trying to take me away? No way." Qingxi said seriously, without even looking at him.Seeing her all serious and talking like that, Xu Lan immediately sat again beside her not at all bothered or offended by the denial."Well, looks like, I will be joining you guys in this game. Besides, I don't have any other choice now, do I?" Xu Lan said before placing his head on Qingxi's shoulders from her behind.Raising her brows at Xu Lan words, she shook her head and looked forward towards the bottle before looking at Pei Mingyue who has been eyeing her movements for a very long time, like a hawk watching his surroundings.However, this time she didn't back off her stare or anything. She looke
"Qingxi, don't be naughty. You have not recovered fully." Lu Jingzhe said as Qingxi tried to come on top of him again."It's been four months since that incident happened. Do you not want to love me?" Qingxi asked as she roamed her leg up and down Lu Jingzhe's body coquettishly."I want to love you, heck I have been thinking about it for a year now. But your health will always be a priority for me.""Please? Just give me some?" Qingxi said as she tried to seduce Lu Jingzhe, who wasn't even allowing her to kiss him.It was their wedding night today.When Qingxi had woken that day after the long operation, the first thing that Lu Jingzhe had asked Qingxi was to get married, but Qingxi had denied him once again.She said she was just blooming in her career, and it will be too much hard work for her to keep their marriage hidden.But Lu Jingzhe this time was adamant about marrying her, and because of that, he used the only way he coul
"No! QINGXI!" Lu Jingzhe, who was too shocked to react earlier, shouted when he saw her falling to the ground like a lifeless doll.Blood was oozing out of her stomach and her complexion was turning paler by each second.Picking her up bridal style, he placed her inside the car before he took out his jacket and wrapped it around her torso. The last time when she had gotten hurt, things were not so severe, and thus, he wasn't feeling so bad at that time, but now that she was shot straight into the stomach, he knew it was life-threatening."Drive faster!" Lu Jingzhe yelled, and it was not long before they stopped in front of a large hospital.Lu Jing, whose eyes were closed didn't know what was happening, but he knew that he is to only open his eyes when his pretty aunt says so, and thus, he kept his eyes closed.As Lu Jingzhe helped Qingxi on a stretcher, Lu Jing heard his dad saying to the doctor,"She was shot in the stomach. Please sav
As soon as Lu Jingzhe received the call from Qingxi, he asked his team, which is always available for any mission, to get ready immediately. Passing them the approximate location that Qingxi had sent, he couldn't help but feel like something bad was about to happen.He didn't want to repeat what happened three years back with his brother and couldn't help but close his eyes as he prayed to God to keep both of them safe."We don't know how many are there and who are they or who had ordered them to do this kidnapping. I want you to guys focus on the safety of my kid that you have already seen many times and a woman who is going to be your lady boss soon. They are to be protected more than how you guys protect me." Lu Jingzhe said before taking out his phone and showing them the picture.All of them saw the picture and nodded as they had remembered the girl. As they were moving, one of the men who was sitting along with Lu Jingzhe and bodyguard Cheng couldn't
"Lu Jingzhe, wake up! Today is Sunday. I had promised Lu Jing to take him out to play on Sundays. Have you forgotten about it?" Qingxi said while almost jumping on top of him."Mmm...come here. Let me sleep more. I rarely get such a good sleep. I think I should start sleeping with you more often to get a good sleep." Lu Jingzhe said while pulling her on top of him again."Lu Jingzhe, we will discuss these things later. First, hurry up and get ready. We need to go to the old mansion." Qingxi coaxed."AHH...I forgot to tell you. I can't accompany you guys today. I have a very urgent meeting today. I am sorry." Lu Jingzhe said solemnly."What are you feeling sorry for? You have work, it's important, we understand." Qingxi said before pecking his lips softly."Mmm..don't tempt me with these kisses. I am already aroused early in the morning, I am afraid if I start kissing you, you won't be to see Lu Jing for the next whole week, let alone today."
"Lu Jingzhe! I am not able to zip the chain with only one hand! Come here this instant!" Qingxi shouted from her room, and her voice echoed in the whole house.It had been one month since the incident with her falling down the stairs happened. The plaster from her hand was already removed, but it doesn't mean she was good to go and was able to do things easily like she used to do earlier.In this one month, Qingxi has almost turned Lu Jingzhe into her maid, she would call him back and forth for even work as small as picking up a fallen spoon.When butler Ho Chen came to know about Qingxi's condition and injury, he had suggested hiring a personal nurse or appoint a maid to miss Qingxi, who will tend to all of her demands but Lu Jingzhe had denied them saying, all if this happened because he couldn't take care of her properly, and now he wants to make up for it by personally taking care of her.And to say Miss Qingxi had made his work harder wou
Placing her in the back seat of his car, Lu Jingzhe hurriedly came to sit in front before starting the car to drive to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.He could see his car seats getting dirty by Qingxi's blood and couldn't help but curse out aloud.It wasn't the car seats that he was anxious about. He was anxious about the amount of blood Qingxi was losing.After 10 minutes of driving with his heart beating at a faster pace than his car was going. He finally parked his car in front of a hospital.Picking her up bridal style, he ran inside the hospital before yelling,"Doctor!! Doctor!!" By this time, he has already thrown his mask and couldn't care less about hiding his identity or anything. The thing that he was more scared about was Qingxi's health."Qingxi! Wake up! Don't close your eyes! Didn't you say you will be staying by my side for the rest of my life as a friend, if not as a wife? I want a healthy friend,
Meanwhile, Qingxi and her family were having a joyous celebration and heart-to-heart talks, the news about Qingxi being the next heir of Xu league enterprise and the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing spread in the country like fire spreads in a bundle of dry leaves.Almost every other netizens were talking about her. Not only she had gained popularity in the entertainment circle because of the rumors clearing and Xialing's tricks, but also in the business circle since she was declared as the sole heir of such a big enterprise.Inside Luo's mansion, when Luo Lin Che saw the news about Qingxi being the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing, she felt like falling to the ground from sky-high.She has always asked her husband (Qingxi's real father) about his family, and their status but every time she would ask him that, he would always turn the question in a different direction.When Luo Lin Che married Qingxi's father, it wasn't because she
"So, she is your granddaughter?" Lu Jingzhe's grandfather asked to confirm his doubts.It was only after he asked that, did the Yun family realized that they were not alone and had company."Is there anyone in the world that I can love more than I love her?" Grandpa Ying Bing said, making Qingxi smile when she suddenly remembered something."Wait, you guys know each other? And why are you guys acting so civil? Shouldn't you be like avoiding each other and fighting each other? If you have a feud between yourselves then don't hide it, no one is here anymore." Qingxi asked, and everyone looks at her quizzically."Jingzhe, I know you stayed because you were scared for me, not knowing the whole truth, but now that you know the truth, you guys can leave. You don't have to sit with your enemies just because you guys care for me. And same is for grandpa Yun bing. If you don't like them, then you don't have to sit here just because I am associated with their
"I can explain," Qingxi said as she looked in the eyes of not only one person but four people who were standing there and gazing at her with a complicated expression. The most prominent of that of General Yun Bing, who was gazing at her with anger."You brat! Come right here! Let me teach you a good lesson. How dare you!" General Yun Bing hollered, and Qingxi, who was too shocked to react, looked at master Xu with accusing eyes."Hadn't I mentioned not to call General Yun Bing and his family to the party?" Qingxi asked as she looked at the people in front of her with a worried expression."I knew you told me to not call him, but I couldn't contain in the temptation and didn't want to miss the fun and such an explicit scene of you being reprimanded by someone. You already had your share making things hard for me, now it's my turn.Don't I know that the only person you fear after your dad is your grandfather. Also, he is my best friend. Do
