Chapter 149: 149, The relationship between the two was exposed (2)_1
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu disagreed, after all, the stakes were too high for it to be treated lightly, “Who said that? The lady has yet to acknowledge the Boss’s status, so it’s premature for you to jump to conclusions. Moreover, our original bet was six months, but you bet on five months. If the Boss has won the lady over now, it doesn’t mean you’ve won.”
“Ah, is Xiao Lu afraid of the bet?” Fu Heng teased with a smile.
At the doorway, Jian Qing looked at Quan Jingwu, a humorous smile playing on her lips. When did she become a lady?
Quan Jingwu let her gaze rest on him, his purple eyes narrowing dangerously. Apparently, he hadn’t given them enough work, hence they had plenty of time to make bets about him.
Pushing open the slightly ajar door, Zeng Hang, who sat closest to the door, turned back and was almost startled from his seat by the sight of the two figures at the entrance.
“Boss, Miss Jian!”
The previously jovial brainstorming team collectively stiffened at the sight of the duo at the door.
They all wanted to cry but couldn’t, which was a fitting description of their feelings at that moment.
“It seems you guys have too much free time lately.” Quan Jingwu swept his gaze over them, his icy voice sending chills down their spines.
The brainstorming team simultaneously shook their heads. No, Boss, they were extremely busy; they weren’t idle at all.
“Xiaojing, you should provide more opportunities for our talented brainstorming team. I think working overtime is a great choice.” Jian Qing joked.
“What do you think?”
Using her and Xiaojing for their betting, they must be really itching for some fun.
As soon as she finished speaking, the team looked at Jian Qing with pleading eyes. Their hearts were on the verge of collapse.
Madam, they realized their mistake and begged not to be tortured any longer.
Quan Jingwu nodded slightly in agreement. “Starting from today, you will all work overtime for a month. Shen Hao, those documents in my office will be handled by you.”
After he said this, Quan Jingwu led Jian Qing away, leaving behind a chorus of wailing.
The two left the company and directly headed to the shopping center under the JK International brand. This was actually their first time shopping together.
However, with their striking appearances, a peaceful shopping trip seemed unlikely. Besides, who in Beijing didn’t recognize Quan Jingwu’s face?
Everywhere they went, they attracted public attention, especially when they saw the usually aloof Jingwu holding a woman’s hand and walking into the shopping center, causing a stir among everyone.
“Am I seeing things? That’s Jingwu, right?”
“Jingwu is so handsome, I’m going to faint.”
“Who is that girl with Jingwu?”
“Ah, I remember, that’s the girl who got into a fight at Dihao Bar.”
“I’ve seen her at Qianshi Restaurant, she seems to be the once lost great-granddaughter of the An Family.”
“So, was the girl Jingwu confessed to on TV that day her?”
…
Jian Qing glanced at the man beside her and smiled helplessly. Now, they couldn’t even shop in peace.
The crowd around them kept growing. Some even took out their phones to take pictures of them.
She looked up at him, lost, “Xiaojing, what should we do? Maybe we should just go back?”
About the gift, she’d figure out another way.
Finally having a chance to go shopping with her, it was the perfect chance to let the whole Beijing know she was his.
“I’ve got it handled, don’t worry.” Quan Jingwu replied softly, patting her on the head.
His affectionate move stunned the audience momentarily until they burst into excited screams.
“Ah! Jingwu’s eyes are so doting, I am so envious.”
“I can’t take it anymore, my heart is about to break.”
“That girl is so lucky, Jingwu is so gentle with her.”
The cheerful screams and chatter got louder and louder, and Jian Qing felt as if her eardrums were under attack.
Quan Jingwu stretched out his arm, pulled her into his embrace, and took out his phone to make a call.
“Empty the fifteenth floor.”
With her cheek against his chest, Jian Qing heard his command and her lips curved into a slight smile.
After hanging up, Quan Jingwu escorted Jian Qing straight towards the elevator. Their intimate behavior was pushing the audience into a frenzy.
Although spectators were thrilled and curious, under Quan Jingwu’s intimidating presence, they kept their distance and dared not approach them heedlessly.
Soon, the mall’s security staff arrived and hurriedly dispersed the crowd.
Looking at the closing elevator doors, everyone showed a look of regret, wishing they had captured more of the exciting moment.
After entering the elevator, Jian Qing finally felt a calming peace.
With the noise finally gone, Jian Qing suddenly remembered something very important.
“Xiaojing, did you do this on purpose?”
Quan Jingwu arched an eyebrow, “Hmm?”
“This way, we’re bound to make tomorrow’s headlines.” Jian Qing rubbed her temples as she complained.
Quan Jingwu laughed softly and pulled her closer, “What’s wrong with making the headlines together?”
“What’s so good about it?” Jian Qing lifted her chin up to look at him, retorting.
“I think it’s great. This way, the whole Beijing will know that you’re mine.” Quan Jingwu stated calmly.
Jian Qing’s lips twitched, “…”
Finally expressing his true feelings now?
The elevator dinged to a stop at the fifteenth floor.
Hand in hand, they walked out. The mall’s General Manager immediately came forward to greet them.
“CEO!”
Quan Jingwu stated coldly, “No need to follow us.”
“Yes.” The middle-aged man who had planned to follow behind them obediently responded. Although curious about the girl with Quan Jingwu, he restrained himself and didn’t ask.
Quan Jingwu led Jian Qing into a nearby jewelry shop. The salespeople on the fifteenth floor had already received notifications from above. They were terrified of making any mistakes in front of Quan Jingwu.
“CEO, what would you like to purchase?” The store manager asked politely. Her eyes were strictly professional, and she wasn’t overstepping any boundaries.
“Darling, what would you like to buy?” Quan Jingwu turned to Jian Qing. His deep voice carried a hint of intoxicating tenderness which attracted the attention of the sales associates.
Was this the same Jingwu they had seen on TV?
Jian Qing hadn’t decided on what to buy, “I don’t know, let’s look around first.”
The store manager tactfully stepped aside to wait. In her many years of experience, she understood that being too eager or sycophantic could backfire.
The display cases were filled with various styles of jewelry. Just a glance would leave anyone spoilt for choice.
“Xiaojing, does your grandmother like jade?” Jian Qing asked.
“As long as you choose it, Grandmother will like it.” Quan Jingwu smiled, “It’s the thought that counts.”
Jian Qing smiled and pulled Quan Jingwu directly to the jade counter, pointing at a jade bracelet displayed at the front.
“Could you please bring me that piece?”
