"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
"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
