Chapter 302 - 303: Inside the Car (3)
Qin Zhiyou, naturally, didn’t have the nerve to tell Lu Weixi that he had sent Secretary Wang to secretly inquire about Xiaochen, and the moment he found that she was at work here, he rushed over. All he could do was make up an excuse: “I secured such a huge project. If I visited home or the company now, my uncle and aunt would come to inquire about it. It would be a delight to see them furiously scratching their heads in desperation and unable to do anything about it, just hanging in suspenseful anticipation.”
He couldn’t go back to the Qin family’s mansion nor go to the company and at this working hour, finding Yu Sixing or He Weiyou was also not appropriate so, who else could he turn to except her?
Lu Weixi nodded. She understood the predicament of Qin Zhiyou, surrounded by enemies. Although they didn’t have much emotional connection, at this time, only this partner could be relied upon.
“However, in the future, if you want to come over, let me know in advance.” Lu Weixi pondered, “Boss Liao already knows that I am that designer, but he hasn’t blabbed. However, if more people get to know, I can’t guarantee that the news won’t leak out. Once the identity of the wife of the chairman of Hanhai Group is revealed, I won’t have any peace in the interior design industry. I hope you can understand this.”
As she said that, the building’s main door opened, and Xiaochen and Secretary Wang walked out. Lu Weixi was about to leave, but Qin Zhiyou grabbed her arm. With a lift of his eyebrows, he asked, “You said all that, and I’ve agreed. But what will you give me in return?”
Here we go again! Lu Weixi, feeling embarrassed and angry, wanted to break free from his grasp, but he held on even tighter, saying, “I like you. Just like the day before yesterday.”
Likewise, you can, for all I care, let go of me now! Lu Weixi, not willing to deal with him any longer, shook off his hand, flung open the car door, and fled. As she was leaving, she could faintly hear Qin Zhiyou’s low laughter behind her.
“Ms. Lu!” Xiaochen came out, saw Ms. Lu hastily escaping from the car. Although her attire was neat, and her hairstyle intact, her face had a healthy, glowing flush and even her eyes, too, looked moist and sparkling.
She wanted to sneak a peek at the backseat of the car, but the door closed too quickly, she missed her chance.
Lu Weixi acted as if nothing had happened and asked gravely, “How was the inspection?”
Xiaochen: “You can relax, Ms. Lu.”
“Rest assured, Young Mad… I mean, Ms. Lu.” Secretary Wang also nodded.
“Good, you first go outside and hail a taxi.” Lu Weixi gave a wave of her hand, so relieving Xiaochen off her duties, and then asked Secretary Wang, “You didn’t tell Xiaochen about my relationship with Zhiyou, did you?”
Secretary Wang patted his chest confidently: “Young Madam, you can trust me.”
Lu Weixi nodded: “Good.”
She took out her phone and texted Secretary Wang. He was about to get into the car when he saw her message: “Are you trying to court Xiaochen?”
Secretary Wang was so surprised. How did Young Madam figure that out! He almost bit his own tongue.
“If you don’t want your impression to deteriorate in front of Xiaochen, remember, he didn’t see you just now.”
After sending the message, Lu Weixi just watched Secretary Wang quietly.
She hadn’t specified whom “he” was referring to, but Secretary Wang knew that she was referring to Qin Zhisu.
So, Qin Zhisu was able to locate here just now, and Young Madam had Xiaochen call a cab. That implies she arrived here in Qin Zhisu’s car, right? No wonder she doesn’t want President Qin to know.
Secretary Wang’s hesitation only lasted a second.. In front of the boss and the boss’s wife, any sane person knows to choose the wife!
