After the two separated, Song Qiao felt like she had lost all her strength, directly collapsing into Lu Jingchen’s embrace. She looked up somewhat dissatisfied at the man in front of her and said, "I’m really suspicious that over the years I’ve been gone, you’ve found someone else to practice your kissing techniques."

She was completely overwhelmed by Lu Jingchen’s kissing skills; every time after they kissed, she felt as if her whole body had no strength left, and she could clearly feel the changes in the man’s body.

It really made her feel like she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Lu Jingchen seemed to never get enough of kissing her, leaned down and kissed the corner of her mouth again, then said calmly, "I’ve been practicing with you in my dreams all these years, does that count?"

Song Qiao’s heart ached inexplicably, then she raised her hand and poked his chest, speaking with slight dissatisfaction, "Since when did you become so good at sweet-talking?"

Although her tone was somewhat dissatisfied, her face wore a sweet smile.

"I can say a lot more sweet things. Do you want to hear them?"

"Better not, I’m afraid you’ll drown me in sweetness."

Lu Jingchen raised his hand and pinched her nose, then said, "Sit here for a while. Later, get yourself a chair and sit next to me."

Song Qiao, "... Aren’t you afraid I’ll disturb your work?"

Lu Jingchen raised his hand to tuck the hair that had fallen in front behind her ear, his voice low and gentle, "Not afraid. Only with you by my side can I work peacefully."

Song Qiao, "..."

Well, Lu Jingchen is really getting better at sweet-talking.

Lu Jingchen directly went into the bathroom to take a cold shower; Song Qiao only knew when she heard the sound of water from the bathroom.

When he first took over the company, due to the workload being very heavy, Lu Jingchen would sometimes work overtime at the company and not go home, so he had a bathroom and a rest room built for convenience in washing up and bathing.

When Lu Jingchen came out, it was already twenty minutes later.

Song Qiao looked up at the man in front of her, hesitated for a moment but still said, "I’ve heard taking cold showers frequently isn’t really good..."

Lu Jingchen had already changed into new clothes, now wearing a knit sweater, looking rather casual. The clothes were ones he bought when accompanying Song Qiao shopping before, which he really liked. Yesterday when he didn’t go home from the company, he showered and changed into them, then asked for them to be dry cleaned.

Returning to sit at his desk, Song Qiao had already gotten a chair and was seated at the side of the desk. Lu Jingchen walked over to have her sit beside him, then said unapologetically, "Otherwise, you help me?"

Song Qiao blushed, feeling a bit shy, but still spoke softly, "It’s not like I can’t."

The man was slightly stunned, but raised his hand to touch her cheek and said, "Okay, then you can compensate me tonight."

...

When Assistant Xue entered, he immediately saw the two sitting together, suddenly feeling like he’d been force-fed dog food.

Assistant Xue declared he’d just become a single dog, and was viciously abused.

He wished he could kick over this bowl of dog food.

Assistant Xue walked over, flashing a smile, and respectfully addressed Song Qiao, "Ma’am, you’re here too."

Song Qiao looked up and politely smiled back at Assistant Xue, then said, "You can pretend I don’t exist."

Saying that, she continued to flip through the script in front of her.

In her hands were scripts adapted from several novels, planned to be made into TV series, but it was not yet determined which one to choose for filming.

Gu Xiyan was no longer under her management; the other day when having hotpot, she had already discussed with Gu Qing, confirming her withdrawal from RQ Group, so Gu Xiyan had already been handed over to another agent.

That agent was carefully chosen by her, a top agent from RQ Group, so Song Qiao felt quite assured.

Now Song Qiao was basically unemployed, but she still held shares in RQ Group; she originally intended to transfer the shares to Gu Xiran that night, but both Gu Qing and Gu Xiyan refused.

Saying it was rightfully hers.

Song Qiao finally thought about it and directly suggested letting Lu Jingchen help Gu Qing expand the domestic market. Eventually, considering various aspects like company development, Lu Jingchen chose to collaborate with RQ Group.

Regarding collaboration with RQ Group, Song Qiao was definitely the most suitable candidate.

Assistant Xue, "..."

Madam, you’re such a big presence here. How could I pretend you don’t exist?

Lu Jingchen looked up at Assistant Xue, showing no big reaction, instead calmly asking, "What’s the matter?"

Assistant Xue directly handed over the file he was holding to Lu Jingchen and said, "It’s the communication records you asked me to investigate regarding Miss Tan..."

Upon hearing Assistant Xue’s words, even Song Qiao, who was seriously studying the plot, quickly raised her head, subconsciously looking at Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen noticed Song Qiao’s gaze, turned back and gave her a comforting look, but said nothing, instead shifting his eyes to Assistant Xue, speaking calmly, "Leave the file here."

After placing the file down, Assistant Xue reported some work matters to Lu Jingchen before turning and leaving the office.

In the office, after Assistant Xue left, Song Qiao sat there hesitant about what to say for a while before she finally looked at Lu Jingchen and asked, "Why investigate Tan Shuya? Do you... do you still like her?"

Lu Jingchen replied with a question, "What do you mean by still liking her?"

Song Qiao bit her lip, not saying anything, her eyes fixedly watching him.

Actually, when Tan Shuya had come to her before, talking about her and Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao had a sense of fear and worry.

Afraid Lu Jingchen really liked Tan Shuya.

Her fear was unreasonable, after all she’d been away for five years, and Lu Jingchen had known Tan Shuya for over four years, so it was inevitable that Lu Jingchen might have developed feelings for Tan Shuya.

After all, Tan Shuya was good-looking, the type that grows on you over time, and whether it was her aura or anything else, she seemed a good match for both Sang Qu and Lu Jingchen.

Upon returning to the country and being together with Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao felt like she was bathed in sweetness, thus forgetting about Tan Shuya. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Now seeing Lu Jingchen have Assistant Xue investigate matters related to Tan Shuya, Song Qiao felt a sense of fear inside.

Looking steadily at the little woman beside him, Lu Jingchen raised his hand and pinched her nose, "Is this how you see your husband? The one I liked has always been you. When have I liked Tan Shuya? Hmm?? What’s running through that little head of yours? I really wish I could open it up and see."
