After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 445: Chapter 443 So, are you two together now?

Xia Wenqing and Xu Zhenzhen arrived in Lin City nearly at noon.

Xu Zhenzhen had slept in the hotel for a while and looked significantly refreshed, albeit a bit dazed, but in Xia Wenqing’s eyes, this version of Xu Zhenzhen was very cute.

"Do you feel any better?" Xia Wenqing placed the medicine in front of Xu Zhenzhen. "It’s almost noon, and our partners have invited us for a meal. Have something to eat first to tide you over, then take your medicine, and we’ll go meet them."

Actually, had it not been for Xu Zhenzhen’s insistence, he had planned to meet the business partners on his own.

But Xu Zhenzhen’s pleading eyes kept fixing on him, and he couldn’t bring himself to leave her alone in the hotel.

Submissively, Xu Zhenzhen ate what Xia Wenqing brought her. "Big Brother, is our partner this time really important?"

He had reviewed the partner’s information beforehand, knowing that cooperating with the Song Group would greatly aid their expansion elsewhere.

If handled well, it would be an invaluable experience for her as well.

Of course, Xu Zhenzhen didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

But more importantly, she had already come to Lin City with Xia Wenqing; it would be a pity not to go.

It made no sense to give up when they were already on the doorstep.

Xia Wenqing, of course, understood Xu Zhenzhen’s intentions, so he didn’t continue to insist that she stay behind.

After Xu Zhenzhen had taken the medicine, she quickly got ready and followed Xia Wenqing to the hotel’s eighth floor.

That was also the restaurant where they had arranged to meet their partners.

As soon as Xu Zhenzhen entered the restaurant, she froze because among the partners across from her was a figure she knew very well.

It was a Senior Brother from their same school, one year her senior and a classmate of Xia Wenqing.

"Xu Zhenzhen?"

Upon seeing Xu Zhenzhen, his eyes immediately lit up, "I didn’t expect you to be the lawyer for the Song Group. I’ve heard a lot about you."

Xu Zhenzhen was also visibly excited, "Senior Brother Chu, I can’t believe you’re the lawyer for our partners! What a coincidence!"

In her college days, she often followed Xia Wenqing around, so she got to know many of the seniors and juniors, and because of her likable personality, many had a good relationship with her.

Chu Luo was one of them.

Xia Wenqing glanced over and Chu Luo’s brows furrowed slightly, "I really didn’t expect to meet here, indeed a marvelous coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Chu Luo shifted his gaze to Xia Wenqing and realized that the person accompanying Xu Zhenzhen was his former classmate.

His eyes widened again, "Xia Wenqing, you’ve actually come back to China?"

If he remembered correctly, Xia Wenqing came from a very wealthy family and had a bit of fame in school. Many law firms wanted to recruit talents like him.

Chu Luo had thought that someone like Xia Wenqing would find a good job abroad, or perhaps start his own law firm. He hadn’t expected him to return to China, and to be working at the Song Group, no less.

Hearing Chu Luo bring up Xia Wenqing, Xu Zhenzhen immediately began chattering non-stop. "You didn’t know, did you? Not only has Lawyer Xia returned to the country, but he’s also found his sister here in China. His sister is my best friend. Can you believe it? And now, I am working at the same company as Lawyer Xia..."

Aside from watching Xu Zhenzhen’s lips move briskly as she rattled off Xia Wenqing’s affairs like a treasure, those looking at the two felt a more complex mix of emotions.

If he remembered correctly, back in school, Xia Wenqing seemed to treat Xu Zhenzhen a bit differently.

Xia Wenqing couldn’t believe he had chased all the way to the domestic front for Xu Zhenzhen. He never expected such a young master to be so infatuated with love.

Chu Luo thought this as his gaze involuntarily fell on Xu Zhenzhen, "So you two are together now?"

Xu Zhenzhen, caught off guard by Chu Luo’s question, blurted out, "No."

At the same time, Xia Wenqing answered with a "Yes."

"..."

"..."

The entire hotel private room plunged into a moment of silence. Only then did Xu Zhenzhen belatedly remember that she was now officially Xia Wenqing’s girlfriend.

She had actually forgotten about it just now.

Xu Zhenzhen, somewhat annoyed with herself, patted her little head and awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, saying, "Indeed, it’s a bit uncomfortable just starting out. I am indeed with Lawyer Xia now. It’s just that we only got together yesterday, so I haven’t quite gotten used to it yet..."

Xu Zhenzhen said this and hugged Xia Wenqing’s arm directly, exhibiting an exceptionally intimate gesture.

Chu Luo was not surprised at all; actually, he was more shocked that the two had only just started dating. Hadn’t they been interested in each other back in university?

But on second thought, it was their business, and he, an outsider, shouldn’t interfere.

Chu Luo quickly smiled, changing the subject, "Come, come, have a seat first. We can catch up later; let’s talk about business first."

Xia Wenqing had looked somewhat uncomfortable a moment ago, but now he nodded at Chu Luo’s words and took a seat not far from him.

Xu Zhenzhen stole a glance at Xia Wenqing, uncertain if she had just made him angry.

After all, they had only just agreed yesterday, and she had already caused such a major mix-up today. It was indeed quite embarrassing.

Xu Zhenzhen suddenly worried whether Xia Wenqing would think she was unprofessional.

What if he regretted it and decided to replace her?

She had, after all, managed to become his girlfriend—though it was only in name, she was still his girlfriend.

Xu Zhenzhen nervously reached out and tugged at Xia Wenqing’s sleeve, asking softly, "Big Brother Xia, you’re not angry, are you? I really didn’t mean it just now..."

She looked at him with pitiful eyes, blinking in an attempt to stir his sympathy, but Xia Wenqing merely glanced at her indifferently and shook his head gently, saying nothing more.

Now Xu Zhenzhen was even more panicked.

Was her position in jeopardy?

Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, her gaze involuntarily scanning over Xia Wenqing a few times, trying to think of something to salvage the situation.

What Xu Zhenzhen didn’t know was that what Xia Wenqing cared about wasn’t what she just said.

It was Xu Zhenzhen’s attitude towards Chu Luo.

If his memory served him right, this man seemed to have hovered around Xu Zhenzhen throughout university...

Now that Xu Zhenzhen was on a business trip, and he appeared as a partner, could it be he still harbored feelings for Xu Zhenzhen?

Although Xu Zhenzhen was his girlfriend in name, she hadn’t truly secured that status.

He was somewhat worried that she could be snatched away by someone else at any moment, and this sense of insecurity was making him very irritable...
