Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 902 - 899: Ran Into Someone I Haven’t Seen in a Long Time

Part 40

"You’re taking Gu Chen’s place."

"!!!"

"It’s settled then. You’ll start work tomorrow. I’ll take you there."

Xiao Qing felt incredibly frustrated. She had thought she could return to acting, but then Gu Chen pulled this stunt, and Lu Jinyang actually set his sights on her. Had she known, she wouldn’t have said anything just now.

In that moment, Xiao Qing regretted her recent actions deeply.

The next day, when Xiao Qing showed up before Lu Jinyang dressed in formal attire and high heels, Lu Jinyang looked her up and down thoughtfully and said, "I think I might regret this..."

What? Was she not going to work?

A white shirt and a black pencil skirt outlined her curvy figure, with two buttons undone on her blouse revealing her perfect collarbone and fair neck. Her newly done wavy hair cascaded down her chest, looking seductive rather than someone headed to a serious job.

However, Xiao Qing was unaware of how alluring she appeared. She thought Lu Jinyang was joking with her, giving him a sidelong glance, "Too late." She had spent the whole night convincing herself to accept this reality, unaware that he’d try to change it today.

Who says women are fickle? The man in front of her was clearly more fickle than she was.

He lazily curved his lips into a smile, then leaned down and kissed her luscious red lips. After the kiss, she grumbled, "Look at what you did, my makeup’s smudged. Now I’ll have to waste more time fixing it." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Why fix it? You’re going to work."

"I’m doing this to save face for you." Saying that, she took his arm and walked out, "Now that I’m an official employee, I can’t be late."

Lu Jinyang shook his head with a chuckle, his eyes full of affection.

Originally, he planned to send Xiao Qing to New City just to keep her from being bored at home. But half a month later, Guan Juntao came to him and said that Mrs. Lu had a knack for managing the company and had straightened out those previously dissatisfied with him.

Feeling spontaneous, Lu Jinyang decided to visit New City to see for himself.

That day, Xiao Qing finished her work early, planning to go home and spend time with the kids since it was Friday.

When she got to the parking lot, she ran into someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.

-

It had been months since Xiao Yiting last saw Xiao Qing. He hadn’t returned to the United States after all, since Old Master Xiao was thrown into International Waters by Lu Jinyang’s people, and Fan Min was imprisoned by Lu Jinyang with her current condition unknown.

In the Empire, Xiao Qing’s family was his only connection left. As people age, they long for their family to be together more than ever. With such thoughts, he came over.

Xiao Yiting only intended to take a glance at her from afar then leave, but as he found her car, he saw her approaching. He had no time to hide and had to face her directly.

He clearly saw the surprise and conflict in her eyes. He thought she would pretend not to see him, but she walked up to him and stopped in front of him.

"Uncle~" she greeted.

Xiao Yiting responded mildly, "Oh, so you work here too. I thought Jinyang would be here today."

"He’s not. Do you need anything?"

Not seeing Xiao Yiting for quite some time, Xiao Qing noticed he looked much older, with his previously black hair now turning white. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"I’m here with a friend for some business, I’ll be going now~"

"Okay."
