In the hospital room, there was about half a minute of deathly silence. No one spoke for a while, and everyone’s eyes conveyed a single ssage: ’disbelief.’
Especially in Zuo Yuqing’s eyes, there was a complete look of astonishnt, and she was the first to speak, "Are you saying that Song Qiao is leaving An City today? Is she going abroad or what..."
The man sitting on the hospital bed maintained his usual gloomy expression, but at this mont, it seed as if his face was trying hard to suppress sothing, making his expression look extrely unsightly, like the calm before a storm.
Unknowingly, his long and well-defined fingers started to grip the edge of the quilt more tightly, and faintly, so veins stood out on the back of his hand.
Assistant Xue’s gaze fell on his boss, but seeing that handso face entirely covered in coldness, he couldn’t help but feel breathing was becoming difficult. However, with just a glance from Lu Jingchen, Assistant Xue knew he still had to answer Zuo Yuqing’s question.
Because this was not just answering Zuo Yuqing, but also responding to his boss.
So after trying hard to think, and taking a deep breath, Assistant Xue spoke, "Yes, reliable sources say the Madam President indeed bought a plane ticket for an international flight, and it’s rumored to be to Zurich..."
...
A few minutes later, the hospital room was devoid of Lu Jingchen and Assistant Xue, leaving only Zuo Yuqing and Li Man.
For so reason, when Zuo Yuqing’s gaze fell on Li Man, she always felt that this woman exuded a sense of relief, even with so delight.
But thinking carefully, it’s understandable what kind of mood Li Man is in at this mont. She could easily tell that Li Man harbored feelings for Lu Jingchen. From the mont she entered, this woman had openly shown hostility towards her.
And it was the kind reserved for a rival in love.
She used to feel this way toward Song Qiao as well, but later, after she let go of her feelings for Lu Jingchen, she never felt that way again.
Looking at the food Li Man brought on the table beside the hospital bed, Zuo Yuqing displayed a faint smile and quietly said, "It seems Miss Li put in so much effort making all these dishes that Jingchen likes, and it was all wasted in the end."
Li Man had almost forgotten that Zuo Yuqing was still in the hospital room, and her face instantly turned expressionless as she replied, "Miss Zuo, didn’t you also painstakingly make seafood porridge, and wasn’t that wasted too?"
Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm, though her expression seed less than pleasant, treating Zuo Yuqing with a cold stare.
Zuo Yuqing, however, did not take Li Man’s anger to heart, and smiled again, saying, "I didn’t put much effort into this seafood porridge, so naturally it can’t compare with Miss Li’s dishes. But Miss Li, sotis, don’t be too small-minded; it’s not necessarily a good thing for your present or your future."
Li Man furrowed her brow and directly responded, "Zuo Yuqing, what exactly do you an to say?"
She naturally caught the underlying aning, her voice growing colder as she quietly stared at Zuo Yuqing, questioning her.
Zuo Yuqing smiled slightly; it couldn’t be denied that this woman was sotis a bit clever.
She indeed had a deeper aning in her words, only Li Man hadn’t imdiately grasped what she ant.
After sorting her emotions, Zuo Yuqing smiled and said, "Miss Li is a smart person, but you shouldn’t covet Lu Jingchen. Haven’t you noticed his feelings for Song Qiao? No matter who it is, no one can co between them..."
Upon hearing Zuo Yuqing’s words, even if her intelligence wasn’t high, Li Man understood what she ant, and her expression changed instantly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sorry, Miss Zuo, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Zuo Yuqing’s words seed to articulate all the thoughts inside her, exposing them to the air, leaving her feeling defenseless.
Seeing the anger on Li Man’s face, Zuo Yuqing chuckled and continued, "You saw how Lu Jingchen reacted to the news of Song Qiao leaving An City, didn’t you?"
Li Man bit her lip with her teeth, silent for a mont, unsure of what to say.
Indeed, when Assistant Xue told Lu Jingchen that Song Qiao was about to leave An City, the man’s face turned extrely unpleasant, and a tense atmosphere filled the hospital room.
For a mont, Li Man even had an illusion that the man was exuding a murderous aura.
But when thinking about Song Qiao leaving An City, never to appear in front of them again, she forgot all of this, thinking she would surely have a chance to hold a place by Lu Jingchen’s side in the future.
But she indeed forgot; Lu Jingchen’s feelings for Song Qiao were sothing no one could ignore. As the saying goes, ’The onlookers see most clearly,’ and they, the bystanders, saw more clearly than Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao themselves.
...
In the airport, Song Qiao sat in the VIP lounge waiting; it was not long before boarding ti, yet for so reason, she felt a sense of unease in her heart.
But thinking about it, it was probably because An City was the place where she grew up, and she was reluctant to leave.
Chu Munan went outside for a while, and when he returned, he was holding a small bag in his hand. Mu Shinian sat beside Song Qiao; the little guy’s face showed no emotion, looking indifferent as if he was a bit upset.
After glancing at Mu Shinian, Chu Munan focused on Song Qiao, taking asured steps forward in his suit, directly handing her the small bag in his hand.
The sudden appearance of an unknown object in front of her startled Song Qiao, but she quickly recovered and looked up at the man in front of her, opening her mouth to ask, "What is this?"
Chu Munan remained expressionless, "Snacks."
Song Qiao paused, then said, "Didn’t we just have lunch? I’m not hungry now."
However, the man maintained his gesture, directly saying, "Didn’t you say before you wanted sothing sour?"
Hearing Chu Munan’s words, Song Qiao finally understood, her eyes lighting up as she took the small bag from Chu Munan. Sure enough, inside were so bottled preserved plums. She had been suffering severe pregnancy nausea earlier and had mumbled that she wanted sothing sour, not expecting Chu Munan to hear it.
