"Mm...sure. what do you wanna know?" Qingxi asked casually while concentrating on her food.
Old master- "…"
'Isn't she supposed to introduce herself briefly when asked such a question?' The old master thought while Lu Jingzhe, who was well-versed with her attitude couldn't help but smile silently.
"I...umm.. anything about your work, where you live, about your family, something like that." The old master said awkwardly.
This was the first time he was talking with someone who wasn't even one percent intimidated with him apart from his family and couldn't help but feel a bit happy and awkward both.
"Aren't you too curious? Well, I work as an actress. I haven't debuted yet. My first movie will be released this week. Make sure to watch it." Qingxi said as she lifted her head to look at the old man.
When Lu Janglu and Lu Xuelo heard her bold words, they couldn't help but cough as they looked at the old master for any kind of outburst
In the Yun mansion, general Yun was pacing back and forth, waiting for Qingxi to arrive so that he can play a game of chess with her."Father, what has to you got so worked up? Please sit down or your health will be affected." General Yun's daughter said as she looked at him with concern-filled eyes."Master general, all the dishes that you've asked us to prepare are done. Do you want to have a look at them?" The head chef came to report."What about the milkshake?" General Yun asked as he looked at the gate anxiously."That is also prepared. We have also ordered extra chocolate chips and accessories to make it fancier as you've ordered." The head chef said.Yun Bing's daughter, who was sitting there and hearing the head chef, couldn't help but ask finally,"Father, is someone important coming today?"As long as she remembered, no one could make her father this anxious. This was the first time he looked nervous and well acted like
"What's up, guys?" Qingxi said as she entered the gates of the mansion while winking at few men that knew her."Hey, who's that girl? I am seeing her for the first time here. She is pretty. Is she some idol?" One of the men said as he was standing in the corner with a gun in his hand."Do you have a death wish? Don't let the boss hear your words. She is the only person our boss is afraid of. And no, before your thought process takes a 90-degree turn, she is not his girlfriend. Just don't try to offend her. The last time she was offended, three men ended up disabled, and it wasn't done by our boss. It was she who broke their arms." The other men who were working in the organization for the last two years whispered to him."Really? Fighting doesn't suit her personality." The men who called her pretty commented."Brother Jones? Where are you?" Qingxi shouted, standing in the center of the living room."He is upstairs in his study, Qingxi." Mo Ming sai
Qingxi, who had been busy talking to her father's photo and hadn't realized that it was already dark, couldn't help but wipe her tears before saying for the last time."I love you, dad, and miss you. Please don't give up. I am sure you'll be able to recover fast. I promise I'll do everything you say once you wake up. So make sure to wake up if you want to control your insolent kid. Okay?" Smiling at her thoughts, she looked in the sky closing her eyes, praying to God for the well-being of her father.Remembering her father, her thoughts drifted apart, and she couldn't help but remember her grandfather.Hurriedly, taking out her other phone, she dialed Jones's number."Hello, Jones? Have you told him?" She asked, coming straight to the point."Do you want me to tell him?" Jones asked with a complicated expression."He deserves to know. He already knows about his father's conditions. He loves his son to death. He has to know that his son is going to
Seeing that Lu Jingzhe was still sleeping beside her peacefully, the first thing that Qingxi did in the morning was to call Jones and ask how the operation is going.Standing on the balcony with a full-length coat draped over her shoulders, she urgently said, "hello" when the call got connected."Hello, Qingxi. I was about to call you myself. The doctors said that the 12 hours of surgery were successful. Initially, there were some complications, but then everyone went smoothly. The chances of his survival have now increased by 70%. He might continue to remain in a coma, but the chances of him waking are more than before.The doctor said that they will be keeping him under strong observations for 15 days so that they can make sure there are no critical complications and no post-surgical issues arise." Jones said in a go, too happy to contain his excitement."What was his reaction when you told him about dad?" Qingxi asked."He came. He cried. He
Reaching the reception, Qingxi noticed that the lady behind the desk was busy on the phone, probably talking with some client, and thus, decided to wait at some distance.Looking around her, she gazed at the beauty of the building, which looked nothing less than a posh restaurant. The chandelier that was hung in the hall looked like it was brought at a hefty price and was one of the main attractions of the hall."Hello miss, how can I help you?" The lady behind the desk asked politely, once her call ended."Hello. I am Qingxi, I am here to meet the Director... I mean CEO Yan." Qingxi said with a polite smile on her face."CEO Yan? Do you have an appointment miss?" The lady asked though anyone could've seen the suspicious look that passed her eyes for a second when Qingxi mentioned meeting with CEO Yan."I don't have a scheduled appointment. Can you please call him, and tell him that a girl named Qingxi is here for checking her voice modulation. I a
"Hello, I am here to meet Mr. Lu Jingzhe. He said I can wait in the office for him. Can you please show me the way?" Qingxi said to the receptionist, who had already received a call from her seniors about it.The receptionist couldn't help but gaze at the girl in front of her as she was wearing shades that hid half of her face. Nodding politely at the lady in front of her, the receptionist called for someone from the upper floor where Lu Jingzhe's office was, to attend to the lady.The receptionist was a professional and knew to never judge a book by its cover, especially when she is working in a prestigious company like this. For all she knows, the lady standing in front of her could be the CEO of some company.After a minute, a man dressed in black came rushing in and bowed in front of Qingxi before greeting her politely."Oh! You! Aren't you the one who came to my house that night? Who wanted me to meet his young master?" Qingxi exclaimed, and Cheng coul
"I am sorry you have to go through that." Lu Jingzhe said, sitting close to her with an apologetic smile on his face."Don't worry. It's nothing. However, you'll have to pay for the damage she made to my jacket." Qingxi said, with her mouth stuffed with food.Whenever she would feel bothered, angered, or happy, food was the only method for controlling her emotions and celebrating them altogether."Let's go and buy some new ones for you." Lu Jingzhe said happily, gazing at his girlfriend with a doe-like expression."All you need to do is stand with me. I will pay for my stuff myself. Oh, I forgot the reason why I came here today. Look, I sang a song today. It's not the song that Yan had prepared for my debut, but they are thinking of making it the main song of my debuting album. He also talked about creating a themed MV for my first album. The name will be something along the lines of Love." Qingxi said, unlocking her phone with the free hand to show him t
"What are you talking about?" Qingxi asked, feeling a bit fidgety that Lu Jingzhe might've known what she was doing.What if? What if he starts judging her based on that?Seeing her panicked expression, Lu Jingzhe couldn't help but stand from his chair as he started walking towards her in large strides."Qingxi, why do you feel the need of hiding something from me, I don't understand it. I have already told you that I love you with my whole heart, which means I'll accept both the good and bad sides of you. I know you have your reasons for hiding your details, your identity, your information, but don't you think you need someone with whom you can share your deepest secrets?" Lu Jingzhe asked, sitting near her as he pulled her towards himself and played her head on his chest in a comforting manner."I don't know, Jingzhe. It's just an instinct that I've developed after soo many years of betrayal and backstabbing. Apart from Jones, Lan Ting, Mo Ming, and
