From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 123 - LQ’s Election Meeting

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 LQ’s Election Meeting

When Qiao Yi woke up to the sound of the alarm the next day, she finally understood the choice of words by those novel authors.

Like a broken toy doll played to tatters, Qiao Yi stared blankly at the ceiling, constantly pondering the significance of her own existence…

Who said that Lu Yanchuan would act as obedient as a little puppy when drunk!

Does your little puppy use the strategy of a seductive trap?

Clearly, this is an old wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Furious, Qiao Yi kicked out at Lu Yanchuan sleeping beside her and was successfully dragged back into his embrace by her ankle.

“There’s still time, we can sleep a bit more.”

“Lu Yanchuan, were you pretending to be drunk yesterday? Did you act it all out for me!”

Qiao Yi stiffly turned her head, ignoring that her feet were under his control, stretched her hands out from under the blanket, and pinched Lu Yanchuan’s neck like a vengeful ghost.

She really wants to strangle this man!

“I was drunk.”

It’s just that I sobered up after getting home.

“Really?”

Qiao Yi was skeptical, but Lu Yanchuan nodded very sincerely.

“Really.”

It’s Qiao Yi’s fault for trusting Lu Yanchuan too much, which led her to miss the only chance to know the truth, causing her to perceive every instance of Lu Yanchuan getting touchy when drunk as normal.

In fact, to prevent Lu Yanchuan from getting handsy with other girls, she followed him to every drinking occasion, unwittingly becoming the bane of many hopefuls.

But that’s all to come later. Seeing Lu Yanchuan’s sincere face, Qiao Yi reluctantly believed him.

“Fine, but from now on… you’re not allowed to get drunk outside!”

“Hmm? Why?”

“Because, because when you’re drunk, you’re incredibly annoying! If others see that, your cool image will be completely gone!”

As Qiao Yi spoke, she nodded firmly to herself, thinking that if Lu Yanchuan hadn’t been so sober yesterday, he probably would have fallen for her bluff.

“Okay.”

A smile flickered in Lu Yanchuan’s eyes, and with a slight exertion of his arms, he pulled Qiao Yi back into his embrace.

“Let’s sleep a little longer, I’ll wake you up when it’s time.”

Every time Lu Yanchuan held her, Qiao Yi had the illusion that she was actually a human-shaped pillow.

Qiao Yi obediently nestled in Lu Yanchuan’s arms, quietly wrapping her hands around his waist.

Since Lu Yanchuan said there was still time, she might as well sleep a bit more…

Qiao Yi slept through a whirlwind in Lu Yanchuan’s arms, and by the time she woke up, the sun outside the window was already tilted to the west, and the person in her arms had turned into a big bear gifted by Luo Xu.

What’s happening!

Why didn’t Lu Yanchuan wake her up!

In an instant, all kinds of conspiracy theories raced through Qiao Yi’s mind.

Qiao Yi hurriedly climbed out of bed, grabbed her clothes, and rushed into the bathroom.

“Ah!”

Qiao Yi screamed, covering her eyes, then dashed out of the bathroom again.

Lu Yanchuan washed his hands very calmly and only then did he come out. By the time he emerged, Qiao Yi had already calmed down somewhat, biting her lip and looking aggrievedly at Lu Yanchuan.

“Why didn’t you wake me up! I was supposed to participate in the LQ election today! Now everything’s ruined!”

Qiao Yi’s sorrow came flooding out, and tears uncontrollably cascaded down her cheeks.

Lu Yanchuan, having no experience in comforting others, was taken aback by her abrupt tears, but somehow he seemed to spontaneously grasp how to respond.

“LQ sent out a notification this morning, saying that there has been a last-minute change at the company, and the election will be moved to tomorrow. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you up.”

Please! That last part is really what you were truly thinking, right?

If Yan Xiyu knew the real reason you made this last-minute decision was just to let Qiao Yi sleep in, he’d definitely cry!

Qiao Yi’s crying paused, and she hurriedly looked for her cellphone. After seeing the notification from LQ, her heart finally settled back down.

“Good, hic, it’s good that it’s been, hic, postponed!”

Qiao Yi said while hiccuping, barely finishing her sentence before she couldn’t stop hiccupping.

“It’s, hic, over! Hic! I can’t, hic, stop hiccupping…”

Qiao Yi covered her mouth, both annoyed and aggrieved, eventually directing a deep sense of resentment towards Lu Yanchuan.

Lu Yanchuan moved his neck and walked step by step towards Qiao Yi.

“I heard that kissing can cure hiccups.”

“No! Hic! No need!”

Qiao Yi’s eyes went wide and she quickly ran off.

Although LQ’s election was postponed by a day, Qiao Yi had no time to rest; instead, she had to check her document proposal even more nervously, ensuring it was flawless before Qiao Benqing allowed her to return home.

This time, Qiao Yi learned her lesson and didn’t rely on Lu Yanchuan to wake her up; she set five alarms on her phone, convinced there wouldn’t be any mishaps this time.

Indeed, there were no issues with the five alarms. Still, after the first alarm rang, Qiao Yi couldn’t get back to sleep, begrudgingly staying awake from five in the morning until seven before finally getting up to wash and dress.

Qiao Yi’s birthday banquet was already considered an extensive invite to the elites of Capital City, but compared to the LQ election, her party was just a small affair.

“Isn’t that Mr. Zhao! Long time no see!”

“President Wang is as charismatic as ever. I heard you went abroad for a trip a few months back; how come you returned so soon?”

“Nowhere abroad compares to home. I came back after just a few days! In a few days, I’m planning a road trip; Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang, how about joining me?”

The same venue, but today it was split into an inner and outer area. The inner area would only be opened when the official start of the election commenced, while the outer area was to accommodate the candidates who came to participate.

A group of people exchanged insincere pleasantries, while Qiao Yi stood to the side with Qiao Benqing’s assistant, wearily getting through the time.

The election manifestos had already been submitted, now it was just a matter of waiting for LQ’s internal selection to pick a few suitable proposals for the final presentation.

Of course, if someone’s proposal was outstanding and their company’s capability was on point, there was a possibility of being directly selected.

Naturally, everyone hoped to be that unique lucky one, but everyone knew the chances were slim.

Qiao Yi also hoped to be one of the lucky ones, but upon seeing some of the old family heads personally taking part, she still felt quite uneasy.

Although Qiao Benqing called her that morning to say do your best, Qiao Yi couldn’t help feeling increasingly nervous.

“Miss Qiao, don’t be nervous. I’ll get you something to drink. What would you like?”

“Just water, thank you.”

The closer the time came to announcing the results, the more nervous Qiao Yi became.

She hadn’t been this nervous even when waiting for her college entrance exam results, and now, just to compete for a project, look what it’s driven her to!

While the assistant was away and hadn’t yet returned, the venue’s speakers suddenly came to life.

“Please get ready, our election will begin shortly.”
