Chapter 65: 65, Let her come up (third shift)_1
“I can’t believe we spoiled that brat for nothing, where is he when we need him?” Old Master Quan grumbled resentfully.
Mrs Quan laughed at her husband’s words. She looked at him,”Weren’t you always worried about Jingwu not settling down? Now that he’s finally found someone he likes, what’s still not satisfactory?”
Old Master Quan huffed in response, and went on playing chess with Quan Mingxuan.
“Grandpa, any first move is strong and puts the other on the defensive. Truth be told, with that third grandson’s character, I’m not surprised he’d do this,” Quan Mingxuan stated leisurely.
Thinking of the person who would stab his metaphorical brothers to win over his wife infuriated him. The fact that the guy made him serve as a breakfast delivery person early in the morning was just unforgivable. He wanted to fling him into the Pacific Ocean.
“Oh, yeah, big brother, when is Jian Qing’s car arriving?” Quan Yifei suddenly remembered the matter of the car dealer and glanced at him.
“Two weeks. Make sure you inform Jian Qing,” Quan Mingxuan managed to stifle a laugh as his eyes noticed that their grandpa was sneaking in a cheat move during their chess game.
“What? Why will it take so long?” Shouldn’t it just take a few days?
Quan Mingxuan shrugged,”Don’t look at me, it’s not me. It’s our third brother’s instruction.”
“Why would third brother do that?” Quan Yifei asked, puzzled.
“It’s simple. If Jian Qing has a car, won’t he lose countless opportunities to give her a ride?” Quan Mingxuan threw her a disdainful glance, speaking lazily.
Quan Yifei seemed to get it, and pouted, “Third brother is really crafty.”
Quan Mingxuan rolled his eyes at her. You only just figured out how cunning he is?
…
For the next two days, Jian Qing was dragged by Quan Jingwu to the company for many different reasons. The strongest excuse being that the jewelry photoshoot wasn’t quite finished yet. He claimed that if there was a need for her, it would be very convenient for him to consult with her if she was just in the company.
The man even went as far as to drive right up to her doorstep just to get her. Jian Qing, failing to argue with him, would just get in the car obediently and let him take her to the office.
However, she thought, with the president of powerful JK International acting as her driver every day, who’s the real winner here, huh?
However, she had one question in mind. Why was her workspace, his office?
When Quan Jingwu was working on his files, Jian Qing would take out her gaming console and connect with Jian Luo to challenge some horror games together. This is how she would spend the entire morning, Later in the afternoon, around three o’clock, Quan Jingwu left to attend a meeting. leaving Jian Qing alone in the office.
Jian Qing put down the book that was in her hand and relaxed on the soft leather couch by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sunlight bathed her body, making her feel warm and cozy without becoming hot. The office’s air conditioner was switched on, making the temperature feel especially comfortable and the environment unusually quiet. In such a pleasant setting, she yawned twice, her eyes filled with a clear, sparkling light.
As she lay on the couch, she started to feel drowsy and eventually dozed off without realizing.
She didn’t sleep for long when a knock on the door woke her up. Jian Qing rubbed her forehead and when she opened her eyes, there was a stark clarity in them, not a trace of sleepiness could be seen.
“Come in,” she said.
The door opened, revealing Xiao Lu.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting?” Jian Qing asked, her features expressing her confusion.
Xiao Lu set the items he brought with him on the table and smiled, “Yi Kai and I just got back from handling some business. The Boss asked us to bring you some food and magazines, so you wouldn’t get bored.”
At his words, a warm hue started to form in Jian Qing’s eyes. She lowered her gaze to the items on the table, a charming smile tugged at the corner of her lips unconsciously.
He was always so considerate, she thought, doing these little things for her. If he keeps this up, she might just surrender.
“Thank you,” she said.
Xiao Lu shook his head, “It’s not a trouble at all. I should be going now.”
“Mm,” she responded.
After Xiao Lu left and closed the door behind him, Jian Qing picked up the coffee from the table. The warmth from the cup not only heated her hands but also warmed her heart.
After a few sips of her coffee, Jian Qing noticed the entertainment magazine on the table and couldn’t help but feel interested.
She casually flipped to the first page and as she was scanning through it, her eyes fell on a certain article and her gaze sharpened.
The eye-catching headline on the top of the page was written in red: Heiress of the Chu Family and the famous international jewelry design genius, Khan, are suspected of dating.
The following content read: Khan booked an entire venue for a date with Chu Ruohan, leaving onlookers envious.
Below the article, there were a few clear photos of Khan and Chu Ruohan chatting happily in a cafe. If someone would only see this image, they would assume the good-looking pair matched very well.
Jian Qing gripped the magazine tighter. Xiya.
She tossed the magazine and quickly picked up her phone to call Xiya, but she wasn’t able to get through.
Dammit!
Khan, you are in big trouble now.
Trying to call one more time, she still couldn’t get through, however, the landline in the office started ringing.
Jian Qing stood up and walked towards her desk to pick up the phone. Yi Kai’s voice was on the other line,”Miss Jian, Miss Chu Ruohan has come to the office, insisting on seeing the Boss. She said she wouldn’t leave until she sees him, but the Boss is in a meeting right now. Do you want to let her up?”
Yi Kai didn’t expect to be intercepted by Chu Ruohan just as he came back to the office. It really was an unlucky day.
Knowing that Jian Qing was in the office, Yi Kai thought that this could be a good chance to completely extinguish Chu Ruohan’s feelings for their Boss once and for all, so he called the office.
Jian Qing’s gaze fell on the magazine she discarded on the desk, a wicked smile made its way onto her lips, “Let her come up.”
