Getting out of the room with a calm expression, Qingxi strutted towards the area where everyone was waiting for her.
Looking as calm as ever, Chu Xuelo heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed nothing out of place.
The thing she was most afraid was of Lu Jingzhe provoking Qingxi and Qingxi's reaction. According to her, Qingxi was a Canadian return who didn't know about the forces and big bosses that ruled this place now.
Rushing towards Qingxi, she asked if she was okay to confirm herself.
"Oh…I am fine," Qingxi replied, smirking in particular someone's direction, before adding.
"Mr. Lu just wanted to discuss some of his preferences." She said, standing on one foot and placing the other on the wall on which she was leaning.
Chu Xuelo- ".."
Cao Tian- ".."
Zhao- ".."
Lu Jing- ".."
Lu Jingzhe looked at Qingxi amusedly
Sitting in a park that was in the vicinity of her apartment, Qingxi swung herself on the swings mindlessly.It was 6 am and the park was almost empty, with few stray dogs running around playing.It was more than 3 weeks already, but her father has yet to contact her. It was very unlikely, given that her father was the only person she thought loved her the most.When Qingxi's mother and father had divorced, Qingxi's mother had fought hard for the custody of Xialing, and wouldn't she?Wasn't Xialing the brightest and smartest child in her eyes?It always irked Qingxi how she was treated by her mother. It was as if she was a result of an involuntarily pleasurable night between her mother and father.Her mother had always ignored her existence. The divorce of her parents took place when she was five years old, and Xialing was four years old only.
Qingxi's mother Luo Lin Che, sat frozen at the sarcastic laugh Qingxi offered her.Her stepfather Luo Zengluo pursed his lips helplessly before breaking into a sweet smile. He never was against Qingxi, but she never proved to be the best child for him either.Her results were good and she was an excellent child, but there was this feeling with her, the indifferent feeling that never subsided but only kept on increasing.It didn't help when she was always compared with the obedient Xialing by her mother. And the thing that she never agreed with changing her surname was one thing that was like a thorn in his heart."Qingxi. You insolent kid. You are returning after 5 years, yet you didn't even think of meeting your parents? If it wasn't for Xialing who told us about it, were you even planning on visiting us?" Luo Lin Che said, shifting from awkwardness to concerned mother within a second.
Qingxi looked at her mother to confirm whether the nonsense Xialing was spouting was true or not.Her words were confirmed when Lin Che started looking everywhere except in Qingxi's eyes to avoid eye contact. What was this? A guilty conscience?According to what Xialing was saying, she was Lin Che's and Zengluo's daughter. But Xialing was only one year younger than her. This means either Lin Che was seeing Zengluo even before Qingxi's birth or she started seeing him after giving birth to her.But the divorce took place when she was five years old, then does that mean Lin che was cheating on her dad and that's why the divorce occurred.Everyone sat quietly as they looked at Qingxi's face, who was trying to make sense out of things. They observed how her eyes look changed from indifferent, to hurt, and then to extreme coldness."Mother, whatever she is saying, is that true or not?"
Spotting a group of boys and girls at the start of death valley, Qingxi's eyes glinted mischievously.She parked her bike with a screeching sound near the man who was surrounded by most of the girls and man there. It appeared like they were starting a race.The parking of her bike surprised everybody because of the manner the bike was parked, if it had been misplaced by even an inch more, then it would have injured the man sitting on the bike and also his bike."You!! Are you out of your mind brat?" One of the people said loudly, maybe trying to get in good books of the man sitting on the bike.Everyone followed his suit right after him and started shouting."You brat!! Do you even know who we are?""Are you sure you are in the right place?""Do you want to die?"Qingxi was in no hurry to get down from the bike, and thus, as calm as always, she slowly turned
As soon as Hongqui reached the car, Qingxi remembered that she had driven here herself and couldn't go without saying goodbye to her friends just like that.Thus, jumping out from Hong Qui's arms, she rushed towards Dai. Seeing the devil coming towards her, Ting and his gang members squeezed themselves further in the corner, trying their best to hide."Hey! I'll be back soon. Don't worry okay? And since I won this tournament race, you can proudly tell everyone that we still rule this valley and we always will. Call me if there is any such race in the future." Qingxi said as she smirked looking at hiding Ting.After bidding her goodbyes, she sat on the bike, when an idea popped inside his head."Hey, big boss? Would you like to join me?" She said loudly. There was not a single hint of earlier tears and weary emotions in her eyes."Sure. Why not?" Lu Jingzhe smirked bef
Her bartender friend told her that it would take approximately half an hour for all of them to reach the club, and thus, she decided to have her fun by dancing.Holding Lu Jingzhe's hands, she asked earnestly,"Have you ever danced with your girlfriend in any club?""I never had any girlfriend or a female friend, so obviously no. I have never danced in any club either." Lu Jingzhe answered truthfully."Well sorry to say Big boss, but your life sucks. Looks like I'll have to help you enjoy your life." Qingxi said before pulling him on the dance floor."Let's dance." She said as she raised her hands in the air to dance on the beat.Lu Jingzhe followed her suit and placed his hands on her thin waist before swirling on the beat with her."Let go, Mr. Lu. On this dance floor, you are just a normal man dancing with a normal girl. No connections. No hopes
Reaching the Titanium Palace, Qingxi parked her bike in front of the mansion.Lu Jing, who was already familiar with the sound of the bike, came rushing at the door with expectant eyes.Looking at Qingxi with bright shining eyes, he jumped in her arms, rubbing his face on her neck affectionately."Ayee…look who's here. My favorite baby in the world." She said as she smiled feeling happy.Before they could enter the house, a shrill voice came before they heard rushed footsteps coming their way."Brother!!! Where the hell were you? Do you know how stressed I was, not knowing your whereabouts? And wait a minute, what are you doing with her? Don't tell me you were enjoying with her when I was having a heart attack here." Lu Juan said, looking doubtfully between Qingxi and Lu Jingzhe like an angry mother hen.Ignoring the angry-looking person in the front, th
"Qingxi, you need to come to the company before you go sightseeing tomorrow. The company has gone forward and formed the contract for your movie. You need to get it signed by your Director." Lu Juan said once he remembered why he was calling his brother.Now that Qingxi was herself in front of him, he might as well tell her this thing himself."Mmm sure..what time should I be there? Our crew won't be going before one o'clock in the afternoon, so I am free before that.""Awesome. Drop by after nine or something. I need to inform your manager also." Sighing an ok sign by her fingers, she resumed her eating."By the way, how often do you change into a male outfit? I wasn't able to tell you that day. But you looked extremely handsome in that one." Lu Juan commented, wanting to see a reaction from his brother.Lu Jing nodded happily in agreement, looking at Qingxi with bright shining eyes, while Lu Jingzhe clenched his fingers around his chopsticks involuntarily.Seeing the slight reaction
"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
