The car had driven quite far, and no one inside the cabin spoke up. Eventually, Song Qiao couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore, especially with Lu Jingchen sitting right next to her, making her feel completely uneasy. Suddenly, she regretted impulsively getting into the car.
Just as she was about to say sothing, she glanced over at Lu Jingchen, seeing that his eyes were tightly closed as if he was asleep. Instantly, she found herself speechless.
Right now, Song Qiao was on the verge of cursing.
Whether she spoke or not, she felt uncomfortable; holding it in was even worse.
The hospital wasn’t very far from the CK Group. But during the few hours that Song Qiao was unconscious and sent to the hospital from the police station, Lu Jingchen stayed in the ward with her. From the hospital to the CK Group’s twenty-minute drive, Lu Jingchen didn’t want to waste any ti and chose to stay by Song Qiao’s side.
Even though Song Qiao was unconscious due to not eating and remained asleep.
In the hospital room, simply watching the sleeping Song Qiao brought Lu Jingchen great satisfaction.
In the part of his heart where nothing grew before, tender sprouts began to erge at the sight of this little woman.
Especially the forrly rigid places in his heart, which turned soft in the presence of this little woman.
And this feeling was sothing he hadn’t experienced in the past five years.
The car quickly stopped in front of the CK Group building, and it was at this exact mont, as if perfectly tid, that Lu Jingchen opened his eyes. His eyes were clear, indicating that he hadn’t been sleeping, just resting.
As soon as the car stopped, Assistant Xue got out and went to the back to open the door for Lu Jingchen, who imdiately exited the vehicle.
Song Qiao watched Lu Jingchen stride away toward the CK Group, without looking back, debating whether to follow. But she hesitated; if she didn’t, she’d feel uneasy, mostly because she hadn’t yet retrieved her luggage, phone, and docunts.
Now she wasn’t sure if Gu Xiyan and Shinian were worried because they couldn’t reach her after she suddenly went off the radar.
Assistant Xue stood next to the car, bent over to look at Song Qiao still inside, and with a professional smile, asked, "Miss Song, aren’t you getting out?"
Song Qiao withdrew her gaze from Lu Jingchen and turned to look at Assistant Xue, suddenly rembering that he was Lu Jingchen’s most trusted assistant. He should know where her luggage was, or at least help her get it back.
Upon this thought, Song Qiao flashed a brilliant smile at Assistant Xue, "Assistant Xue, could you do a favor?"
Seeing Song Qiao’s smile, for so reason, Assistant Xue felt a chill down his spine, as if sothing bad was going to happen. But he braced himself and replied, "Miss Song, please say it. If I can do it, I’ll definitely help you."
Song Qiao smiled, her eyes curved like a little fox, "It’s not difficult. My luggage was taken by your boss. Could you get it back for or tell where it is so you can take to it..."
Surprised by Song Qiao’s words, Assistant Xue felt a chill run down his back. Recalling his boss’s words earlier, his mind raced, and he quickly responded, "Miss Song, I don’t know where our boss placed your luggage and phone, and you should also know there are certain matters, like the young master, that require you to address directly with the boss. Avoiding the boss won’t solve anything..."
Song Qiao’s expression soured upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, but she still took so of it to heart.
At least now, as Assistant Xue suggested, she knew she had to negotiate with Lu Jingchen if she wanted to see her son.
After speaking, Assistant Xue stood there, waiting for Song Qiao to make a decision.
...
Wherever there are won, gossip is sure to follow. The CK Group’s front desk had a few receptionists. Not long after Lu Jingchen returned, these receptionists began quietly gossiping. However, when they saw Assistant Xue and Song Qiao approaching, they imdiately fell silent in fear.
Song Qiao wore a casual outfit that Lu Jingchen had brought to the hospital, not formal attire. So even as she followed behind Assistant Xue, she still stood out, drawing attention to her rather than to Assistant Xue ahead of her.
When Song Qiao was married to Lu Jingchen, she rarely visited the CK Group, having only been there a few tis to bring him als or for certain reasons.
Actually, the number of tis Song Qiao had been inside the CK Group could be counted on one hand.
As Assistant Xue led Song Qiao past the front desk, the receptionists respectfully greeted him, "Good afternoon, Assistant Xue."
With an unchanged expression, Assistant Xue nodded and responded briefly before continuing to lead Song Qiao toward the elevators without any further reaction.
Following a few steps behind, Song Qiao sensed soone staring at her and turned to see the receptionists looking at Assistant Xue with admiration and adoration, while she received looks filled with envy, jealousy, and resentnt.
These receptionists were very young, clearly fresh graduates, easily readable by Song Qiao.
While waiting for the elevator, Song Qiao stood next to Assistant Xue, smiling slightly, "Hey, hey, hey, Assistant Xue, you’ve just marched through the front door in front of many company employees, most of whom were unfamiliar faces. If later on, everyone in your company gossips about being your rumored girlfriend, what will you do?"
Song Qiao’s tone was playful, like a little fox, delivering words that left Assistant Xue frozen in place with such a casual, nonchalant manner.
