Being the lazy bum she was, after attending the call and making Lu Jing eat some good portion of food, she went to sleep again.
However, today was not the day when she could peacefully sleep. As soon as she lay down to sleep, the door of her room burst open, and Lu Juan came rushing in.
Without giving her any warning, he pulled away half of the blanket before making her sit forcefully.
"Tell me what the hell you did? How did you do it?" He asked.
"I did what?" Qingxi asked, confused in her half slumber. Taking the blanket back from his hand, she was about to lie down again when Lu Juan pulled her again.
"Geez! What's your problem?" She asked annoyed.
"Qingxi! I am your boss, and I demand answers from you regarding work. Tell me, how the hell did you make Director Li come to our company to beg your presence?" He asked.
"Director Li came to the company? To see me? Tha
"Hey!" Qingxi said the first thing she picked up her call."Don't hey me!" Chu Xuelo shouted from the other side."Okay, well don't hey!" Qingxi said to annoy her friend even more."Qingxi! Don't tease me! I have called you to let you know how big of a problem I am in because of you.""Because of me? How's that possible? We haven't even met for more than a week, and you are in a problem because of me? The last time we met was at that party where you took me, and since then you've been busy.""Yes! That's correct! And you created trouble for me at that party only. Haven't I warned you to not flirt with the ladies? Do you know how many ladies had been pestering me because of you?!""But…but I wasn't flirting. I was just being polite to the ladies because they only deserve politeness and gentleness." Qingxi said confused."You&h
"This, I don't understand it. She just went out, how is this even possible?" Director Li asked, a bit shocked.Even Director Gu was shocked about the email but didn't want to pry more."That's not important. What is important is what is written in the email." He said, smiling at his friend."Yes, yes. I'll do my best, I won't disappoint anyone this time, and won't be swayed by threatening of investors." Director Li said.Lu Juan, Lu Jingzhe, and Gao Ying on the other hand, were clueless about what was going here. Lu Jingzhe who was intending to follow Qingxi, stopped in his seat when he heard Director Li's words."What is this all about?" Gao Ying asked."This. We both received an email from YQ's manager, and he said that Director Gu and I can work together on this production under the leadership of director Gu. It also says that investment from Gao and Luo family with the
"Grandpa, your security is here, I guess. Shall we move?" Qingxi asked once she spotted the four men dressed in black, holding a gun."Yes, yes. Let's go young lady." That old man said, standing with the help of railing."You know, you don't have to act all tough. You can take the support of me, I won't judge your strength" Qingxi joked.The old man just laughed at her and held her hand to support himself while walking.She was just like that little girl who would find different ways to provoke him. She would dare to joke around him, make fun of him, making him laugh along with herself. A thing that his other family members could never do in his presence."I am General Yun Bing." The old man introduced himself once they sat in the car.Qingxi smiled politely at him. She knew who he was from the moment she saw his face. How can she probably forget a stro
Everyone sat straight as if nothing happened once Qingxi ended her call."I am sorry about this, but my boss will be coming to pick me after I dine with you guys. I hope that's okay." Qingxi said."That's not an issue, dear. We shall wait for him too, we all can dine together. By the way, who is this boss of yours who cares about his employee soo much?" General Yun Bing asked.Though he was asking in a friendly manner, inside his mind, he was thinking of a thousand ways to reprimand this boss of her if he does anything inappropriate.Also, he wanted to know this because their company was one of the leading companies in the province and in this way, he'll be able to find some faults at her boss's company and would be able to easily invite her to work at their company."His is-" Before she could complete her sentence, someone interrupted her."Grandpa. I
Entering Wen Ruqing's room, Qingxi looked around and was visibly pleased by her presumptions about her.As she had presumed, Wen Ruqing's room looked like a room of an elegant lady.Everything was placed in its right order, and a little pink tint to the decoration gave it a girly look. On the wall, a large family portrait was hung.Qingxi looked at the family portrait with sad eyes. She wished she was a part of a family like this.Shifting her gaze, she noticed a small photo frame that contained two photos on the nightstand and couldn't help but gasp at it.Wen Ruqing, who sat on the bed immediately followed her gaze and blushed profusely."This.." she blushed before flipping the photo to hide it.Qingxi was still in shock after seeing those photos. She had underestimated it when Chu Xuelo said that ladies had been pestering her, but after
From the moment Qingxi was taken by Wen Ruqing into her room, Lu Jingzhe was feeling extremely anxious."So Mr. Lu, how is your grandfather now?" Yun Tian asked politely."He had been doing fine, but the old age is getting better of him. Currently, he is in Japan consulting with an Ayurvedic doctor for his health while also enjoying his trip like a holiday." Lu Jingzhe said before looking back upstairs towards the room to see if she came back or not.Yun Bing, who was sipping his soup silently gazed at the anxious face of Lu Jingzhe and could understand this much that he was a bit serious about this girl this time.However, the look on Qingxi's face was clearly saying earlier that it's still one-sided from Lu Jingzhe's end, and hasn't been reciprocated by Qingxi. This means he still has a chance.Qingxi had already said earlier that she would visit whenever she would've tim
Qingxi immediately spotted the black SUV that was standing waiting for them, outside the mansion.Opening the gate for her like a gentleman he was, Lu Jingzhe first made her sat and then went inside the car himself."Let's go." He said, not bothering to even look up."Yes, boss." Secretary Han said before starting the car."Uhh...I think you can let go of my hand now." Qingxi reminded him, looking at his hand that was holding hers in suggestion.Though Lu Jingzhe didn't want to let go of her hands, he still released his hold before skeptically looking at her, waiting for her to say something.After 10 minutes, seeing that she still wasn't saying anything, he started,"Lu Juan called, regarding your movie." He said."Ohh, what did he say?" She asked her full attention on him now."He said that the
"Sir, we have reached." Secretary Han said politely, not wanting to wake up the lady.Lu Jingzhe opened his eyes and immediately looked at the girl who was lying soo free-minded in his arms, sleeping and looking peaceful.He nodded at his secretary before opening the door with his free hand and then carried her inside."Boss becomes so calm and tranquil when he is around her." Secretary Han said smiling, looking at the back of his boss, who was walking while carrying the lady in his hands, looking at her, again and again, to make sure she wasn't uncomfortable."That, but I think she is having her way around with our boss. I don't know why I don't believe girls like these, especially the ones who are in the entertainment business because they are good at acting and you never know when they are showing their true self and when are they acting." Cheng said."Do you suspect that she
"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
