The man seed completely unaware of how firmly he was holding her waist. Song Qiao only felt as if her waist was about to snap, making her involuntarily furrow her brows.
It seed that Lu Jingchen noticed the woman’s discomfort and quickly released his grip on her waist, speaking directly, "Did I hurt you? I just..."
At this point, he paused abruptly, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her, and she could see her slender figure reflected in them. His eyes were so dark, it seed they only had eyes for her.
The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, his voice crackling with a hint of hoarseness, and one could vaguely sense his cautiousness, "I just can’t believe we really have a daughter? Did I hear wrong?"
The shock in his eyes hadn’t dissipated, and his facial expression made it clear he was struggling to suppress his emotions.
Excited?
Naturally, but more than anything, he’s in disbelief, a little at a loss. How could he actually have another daughter...
He thought he had been hallucinating.
Song Qiao looked at the man who suddenly seed at a loss before her, blinked, and then curved her mouth into a light smile. She gently held his handso face with her hands, smiling as she spoke, "Yes, you heard right. You have another daughter. Her na is Song Nianhuan, she’s very pretty, resembles more, but her eyes are like yours."
Her smile was brilliant, and her voice was as soft as a feather, warmly tender. She laughed out loud, "She has always known that you are her father. I originally planned to tell you about her existence in a few days, but given the current situation, I had to confess earlier. Honestly, when I ntioned this, I was afraid you’d bla for not telling you about her sooner..."
Regarding Lu Jingchen, she had no reservations or suspicions left. The situation developed so unexpectedly, catching her off guard, she had no forewarning and, after much thought, decided to be honest with Lu Jingchen about Huanhuan’s existence.
Moreover, last ti, she could tell their daughter really wanted to et her father, Lu Jingchen. Unfortunately, at that ti, she hadn’t fully trusted him yet.
The man’s exceptionally handso face didn’t have ti to show any reaction, as he just stared blankly at the woman opposite him.
Clearly, when Assistant Xue ntioned it earlier, he had already suspected this possibility. But now, hearing Song Qiao say it aloud that they truly had a daughter, it still felt like an electric shock, his body stiffening with joy spreading in his chest—a man unused to expressing emotion, now uncertain of how to react or express himself.
The only thing...his fingertips lightly trembled against the woman’s waist, feeling his exciting emotions and moods.
Song Qiao noticed the man not reacting, her smile faltered for a mont before her gentle voice filled the office, "Jingchen, do you not believe what I’m saying?"
The man’s reaction left her unsure of what to say.
Lu Jingchen quickly responded, "No, I’m just too excited, I..."
Seeing him like this, Song Qiao instantly understood he didn’t know how to express his feelings.
Having been together for so long, she naturally knew what his character was like.
Reserved... a word very suited for him.
"I know, I can tell."
The man directly pulled her tightly into his embrace, his voice raspy, speaking earnestly, "Qiaoqiao, thank you..." After saying this, he looked up at Song Qiao, cautiously asking, "Can I go see our daughter now? Is she in An City?"
"She’s in An City." Song Qiao didn’t hide anything, her voice softly tinged with a bit of grievance, speaking directly to the man in front of her, "But how about we have dinner first? I’m so hungry, I skipped dinner for you. We can go ho after dinner and tomorrow morning we’ll bring our daughter ho."
"Alright."
He bent down to kiss her lips, lingering for about half a minute, his smile filled with delight, "After dinner, we go ho, tomorrow we pick up our daughter."
Song Qiao looked at the man, seeming naïvely inexperienced like a young lad, and couldn’t help but laugh inside. Here was a man in his thirties.
Her face blossod into a brilliant smile, her brows curved, appearing in a very good mood.
...
Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen were having dinner in the office, while outside, Assistant Xue and the others hadn’t left yet because without instructions from their CEO, who would dare leave early? Unless none of them wanted to work anymore.
In the secretary’s office, everyone was busy, and after receiving a call outside, Assistant Xue quickly walked into the secretary’s office and addressed everyone, "Everyone head ho now, today’s overti pay will be triple, calculated into your salary later."
Upon hearing this, all secretaries imdiately looked up at Assistant Xue standing at the door, smiling, his mood apparently quite good.
One secretary couldn’t help but ask, puzzled, "Assistant Xue, did the CEO say this?"
Assistant Xue had been Lu Jingchen’s assistant for many years, his position unchanged, but everyone knew that Assistant Xue’s status was even higher than the vice presidents.
Because Assistant Xue was regarded as their CEO’s right-hand man, many things were directly managed by him.
But for a wage increase, they still thought it should be the CEO’s decision.
Unfazed by the secretary’s question, Assistant Xue replied, "Of course, co earlier tomorrow and also notify major dia outlets, we’ll hold a press conference at ten in the morning, everyone should handle their tasks well, nothing should go wrong."
After hearing this, everyone couldn’t remain calm. Soone voiced their surprise, "A press conference? Are they going to announce sothing? Is the CEO going to announce a divorce with the CEO’s wife?"
Upon hearing this, they all stared wide-eyed, exchanging glances in disbelief. Assistant Xue looked at the secretary who spoke, slightly stunned, with only one thought in mind.
Been watching too many lodramatic soap operas?
