The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief
Chapter 1120 - 497: Telling Lu Jingchen About Their Daughter’s Existence
After a long silence, Assistant Xue finally lowered his head and spoke with some guilt, "Madam, I’m very sorry. This is something the president instructed us not to tell you because he was afraid that reading that news would upset you. Originally, we thought this matter would be easy to solve, but we didn’t expect it to be a bit tricky and troublesome..."
Song Qiao stared steadily at the young man in front of her. She also knew that Assistant Xue had been by Lu Jingchen’s side for many years, almost to the point of being Lu Jingchen’s right-hand man, and was also Lu Jingchen’s most trusted assistant. Many matters were entrusted to him to handle.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Song Qiao looked at Assistant Xue and asked, "Assistant Xue, did your president also ask you to investigate that child’s identity?"
Assistant Xue suddenly raised his head to look at Song Qiao with a clearly astonished expression, reflexively saying, "Madam, how did you know...uh."
After speaking, he regretted it.
His mouth seemed to move faster than his brain, and he blurted it out just like that.
Song Qiao tugged at the corners of her mouth, showing a faint smile, "I guessed."
Song Qiao also understood that the reason Lu Jingchen didn’t tell her was probably because he thought it would upset her.
However, this matter was related to her, and she would clarify it sooner or later.
After pausing for a moment, she continued speaking to Assistant Xue, "You don’t need to investigate this matter any further. Let’s let everyone go off work first. I’ll talk to Jingchen directly about it later. Tomorrow, I will come out with Jingchen to clarify those baseless rumors together."
Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, Assistant Xue felt a bit puzzled, "Then that child..."
Song Qiao didn’t hide anything, "She is your president’s daughter. Back then, I gave birth to fraternal twins..." After thinking for a moment, she added, "But I hope you can keep this matter confidential for now and not let others know."
Assistant Xue suddenly felt as if his mood was on a rollercoaster, reaching its peak instantly, his tone carrying a hint of excitement, "Madam, are you saying that she is the young miss?"
Song Qiao nodded.
Assistant Xue, "..." Damn it, what did he just say this morning? Indeed, his inadvertent guess was correct; she really is the president’s daughter.
For a moment, he had the feeling that after handling this matter well, the president might give him a raise...
Suddenly, Assistant Xue felt he should believe in love again.
Due to the news report, he had a moment where he almost didn’t believe in love anymore, especially if the president’s wife really cheated on him behind his back; he wouldn’t believe in love ever again.
...
Someone knocked on the office door from outside. Lu Jingchen thought it was Assistant Xue bringing in coffee, and without looking up, he spoke directly, "Come in."
The door was opened from the outside, and soon footsteps could be heard. But when those footsteps sounded inside the office, the man, originally bowing his head to handle documents, immediately looked up towards the doorway, instantly seeing the woman who entered carrying two thermal boxes. He immediately stood up and walked quickly towards Song Qiao, "Why are you here?"
It wasn’t until the man was almost in front of her that Song Qiao stopped walking and looked up at him, her tone gentle with a hint of displeasure, "Lu Jingchen, were you planning to keep it from me forever? Not telling me that it has already gone viral on Weibo?"
The expression on Lu Jingchen’s face froze instantly. He looked at her steadily for a long time before sighing, "You know everything?"
Song Qiao nodded, "Yes, I already know everything."
However, she didn’t tell Lu Jingchen that Lu Tianming had called her.
Lu Jingchen took the thermal boxes from Song Qiao’s hand, then gently took her small hand with his other hand and led her to the sofa. After placing the thermal boxes on the table, Lu Jingchen sat down and pulled Song Qiao onto his lap, face to face. He cupped her face and said, "I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you’d be upset by those comments..."
"But if you don’t tell me, are you planning to bear it all by yourself? Lu Jingchen, I am the protagonist of this news, but I am also your wife, am I not?" Song Qiao suddenly felt a bit angry and directly questioned him with dissatisfaction.
Seeing the little woman in his arms looking angry, the man’s eyes darkened slightly, but he couldn’t help kissing the corner of her mouth with a gentle voice, "Be good, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. Don’t be angry, okay?"
While they were talking fine, she suddenly felt him taking advantage, and the man before her looked at her with overwhelming warmth and pampering, making Song Qiao’s heart feel clogged and overwhelmingly uncomfortable.
Everyone around her, whether it was Chu Munan or Lu Jingchen, treated her so well, but they didn’t tell her things and just wanted to solve them by themselves.
But it was this very situation that made her feel even worse inside.
Directly looking at the man in front of her, Song Qiao took a deep breath and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Lu Jingchen, aren’t you curious about whose child that little girl is?"
Hearing Song Qiao’s question, Lu Jingchen was momentarily stunned, his gaze becoming deeper as he thought, but he said, "No matter whose child she is, I only know that you are mine, and you wouldn’t do anything to betray me. Qiaoqiao, I believe in you, so you should believe in me too, ..."
However, the next second, the woman looked at him and stated clearly, word by word, "Lu Jingchen, she is your daughter. I gave birth to fraternal twins back then, and she is Wangshu’s twin sister, your biological daughter..."
This time she had come with the intention of telling Lu Jingchen directly. After thinking it over, she continued, "Her name is Song Nianhuan. Back then, I didn’t let her take your surname but mine, because I never thought I would love you so much again and stay by your side... I wasn’t planning to tell you so soon about this..."
Her words rang clearly in the man’s ears, and the man, who had been relatively calm, suddenly lifted his head sharply, staring directly at Song Qiao with shock and disbelief in his eyes. The expression and demeanor on his handsome face became somewhat stiff, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Song Qiao’s hand.
