Chapter 868: Chapter 288: Song Qiao, I’m Really Curious—Do You Even Have a Heart?

When Song Qiao returned, it was almost lunchtime. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a man and a woman walking toward her.

It was none other than Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing.

Her steps involuntarily stopped. Watching the two getting closer, she suddenly felt a bit dazed, as if she was slowly drifting away from this man’s world.

There’s no denying that Zuo Yuqing is beautiful. Her features are perfectly put together, and combined with her demeanor, sometimes it’s hard to take your eyes off her.

Now, Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing standing together formed an undoubtedly fitting picture, a match made in heaven, flawless from every angle.

Zuo Yuqing had already changed out of her filming clothes and removed her makeup, wearing just a light touch of makeup. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, looking sleek and smooth. She wasn’t wearing a skirt but a watermelon red blouse, black wide-leg pants cropped at the ankle, black high heels, and carried a small white English-style backpack, making her look youthful and vibrant.

Song Qiao hadn’t dressed up deliberately when she went out today, wearing typical work attire. Her hair was tied up, and she didn’t have any makeup on because she wasn’t sure if she was really pregnant and didn’t dare apply any makeup.

So, seeing the pure and lively Zuo Yuqing, she still felt a bit outshone.

"Sister Song." Little Li, carrying the lunch snacks and drinks she bought for Song Xi, walked over at this moment. Seeing the man and woman approaching, he paused for a moment, then instinctively turned to look at Song Qiao and whispered, "Sister Song... are you... are you okay?"

Song Qiao came to her senses, turned her head slightly to look at Little Li standing by her side, lightly pulled the corners of her mouth into a faint smile, her voice somewhat hoarse, "I’m fine, let’s go. Xiao Xi should be hungry by now."

Little Li hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

Song Qiao lifted her foot, intending to take a detour around the two people ahead, but as soon as she raised her foot, it seemed that Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing sensed her presence, their gaze landed directly on her.

Zuo Yuqing was initially startled upon seeing her, then gave a gentle smile, "Song Qiao, we were just about to go out for lunch. Would you like to join us? After all, you are Jingchen’s wife..."

Song Qiao looked at Zuo Yuqing, trying to discern something from her face, but found nothing. She lightly pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "No thanks, I have someone to meet for lunch, so I won’t disturb you."

With that, she turned to Little Li and said, "Let’s go, let’s deliver the food to Xiao Xi first."

Little Li nodded and walked straight toward the crew.

Song Qiao was wearing flat sandals instead of high heels, and as she passed by Lu Jingchen, she looked straight ahead, but as she brushed past, her hand was suddenly grasped by the man, causing her to stop abruptly.

She turned her head, blinking at the man before her, staring at him for several seconds, seemingly confused, "Is there something you need?"

Lu Jingchen turned his head to look at her, her reflection visible in his deep-set eyes. He swallowed hard before speaking, "Song Qiao, I’m genuinely curious, do you even have a heart?"

Song Qiao was startled, her body starting to stiffen slightly. Looking at this handsome face in front of her, she appeared utterly oblivious, her tone calm, "Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean."

Lu Jingchen’s eyes darkened a bit, and he couldn’t help but grip her arm slightly harder, his voice seemed somewhat suppressed, "Don’t understand? Song Qiao, you’re so smart, how could you not know what I’m talking about? Are you pretending not to know time and again, or are you really oblivious?"

Song Qiao pressed her lips together, watching the man in front of her, momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

The man chuckled softly a couple of times, not letting go of her hand, and simply turned his head to look at Zuo Yuqing, speaking lightly, "I apologize for today, I’ll treat you to a meal another time."

Zuo Yuqing looked at the couple, seemingly unconcerned, shrugged, and said, "Actually, I kind of expected this outcome. I’ve already called my agent to pick me up, so if you have something to do, go ahead."

Lu Jingchen responded with a hum, still gripping Song Qiao’s arm without another word, and began leading her toward the parking lot.

Song Qiao hadn’t realized what was happening when she was already being pulled along for several faltering steps, nearly stumbling. When she came to her senses, she instinctively said, "Lu Jingchen, what are you doing? Let go of me now..."

However, the man seemed as if he hadn’t heard, still pulling her along. His face was gloomy and somewhat terrifying, his thin lips tightly pressed together, and his jaw clenched so tightly that it was clear his expression wasn’t good at the moment.

When Lu Jingchen arrived, the parking lot was almost completely filled with cars, so he parked his car on the outskirts of the lot, which took several minutes to walk out of.

The man’s strides were quite large, and Song Qiao, being petite, had to almost run to keep up, with one of his steps equating to almost two of hers, causing her to stagger along the way.

Little Li realized after a few steps that Song Qiao hadn’t caught up. Turning around, he saw that their Sister Song was being dragged along by CK Group’s president, and judging by her facial expression and reaction, it was clearly against her will.

Shocked, he quickly put down what he was carrying and hurried to overtake them, immediately stepping in front of the two and demanding, "Where... where are you taking our Sister Song? Let her go at once."

Zuo Yuqing was still standing nearby and hadn’t left. Seeing Little Li rush up to block Lu Jingchen’s path, her mouth dropped open in surprise, suddenly admiring the courage of someone daring to block Lu Jingchen’s way.

Was he tired of living, or did he not want to live anymore?

Everyone knew Lu Jingchen’s status and his usual temperament; it wasn’t unusual for this man to kill someone in a fit of anger, and even the police wouldn’t dare come after him.

It was clear that Lu Jingchen wasn’t in a good mood now... no, he was in an extremely foul mood. If he suddenly lost his temper and got rid of the obstruction, it wouldn’t be a surprise...

Zuo Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then started walking towards them, intending to have the reckless person pulled aside, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, deciding not to approach any further.

Lu Jingchen’s face was extremely solemn, his gaze resting faintly on the man blocking their path. His thin lips opened to spit out a single cold word, "Scram!"

Perhaps it was the intimidating aura emanating from Lu Jingchen that scared Little Li, making him suddenly regret his earlier impulsiveness. But seeing Sister Song’s uncomfortable expression, seemingly in pain and gritting her teeth, his courage rose again. He stood firm and boldly declared, "No way, let go of Sister Song, then I’ll let you pass. Can’t you see she doesn’t want to go with you?"

After a pause, Little Li added, "If you want to take Sister Song with you, you... you’ll have to step over my dead body..."

Assistant Xue, who had been sitting in the car waiting, noticed the commotion and had already gotten out, walking over in time to hear Little Li’s statement. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Assistant Xue, "..." Kid, have you been watching too many TV dramas?

Lu Jingchen looked at the man in front of him, sneered, and was about to speak when Song Qiao, standing straight by now, addressed Little Li, "Little Li, you go back first, I’m fine over here."

Little Li looked at Song Qiao, still uneasy, "Sister Song, he... you... I’m worried. If Miss Song Xi asks where you’ve gone later, how should I answer her?"

"You just need to tell her where I went."

Little Li hesitated, then caught Lu Jingchen’s eye, which was already tinged with murderous intent, and suddenly chickened out, hesitating for a moment, stepping aside.

Assistant Xue stood there, unable to hold back a sigh of relief, thinking that if the fool hadn’t moved, no one might have been able to save him later.

This time, Lu Jingchen didn’t continue pulling Song Qiao but suddenly bent down, picking her up horizontally in his arms, striding towards the nearby black Maybach.

The sudden princess carry nearly made Song Qiao scream, instinctively clutching the man’s shirt. When she finally regained her composure, her temper flared up, "Lu Jingchen, what on earth do you think you’re doing?"

The man still said nothing, his lips pressed together, his expression so dark it seemed ready to drip water. When they reached the black Maybach, he tossed her into the back seat, got in himself, and with a grim face, instructed the trailing Assistant Xue, "Drive to the villa."

Assistant Xue responded immediately and started the car.

Song Qiao’s face changed, and she raised her hand to open the car door, intending to get out.

But the man seemed to have anticipated her move; with quick reflexes, he grabbed her arm, forcefully pulling her into his embrace, his other hand clasping the back of her head to hold it in place, then his handsome face coming close to hers, his thin lips capturing hers, prying open her teeth, and began an aggressive assault.
