Chapter 04 If It Can Be Let Go
Lou Lvqiao timidly stepped into the room, her palm cold with sweat, and called out hesitantly, "Dad, Mom"
Xie Xiaoshan: "Lu Qiao, Mr. Qin and his associates have products they wish to advertise in several pages in both our new and old magazines. You are responsible for following up on this matter."
The furnishings in her room are just as they were in those years, with a royal blue silk quilt, a white lace canopy hanging from the ceiling, and a pristine white handmade carpet
Come to my office and let's go together
However, upon landing, she surprisingly did not feel the intense pain she had anticipated. After hesitating for a second, she realized that someone had wrapped their arms around her, effectively slowing her fall and successfully acting as a human cushion
Luo Lvqiao was taken aback
Lou Lvqiao placed the item in her hand in front of him: "This is what I owe you. I have been thinking about returning it to you, and I finally found the opportunity."
Wang Shuimo lightly adjusted her hair, hesitating to speak: "Lü Qiao, there is something I have always wanted to tell you"
Having a drink to pass the time is inconsequential. However, she has never indulged in such fleeting romances. Xie Xiaoshan once maliciously mocked her, saying that while her appearance was alluring, her heart was exceedingly conservative, likening her to a sheep in wolf's clothing, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She retorted with conviction, "I would rather be selective than indiscriminate!"
Sister-in-law, you go ahead and be busy. I can take care of the little piano.
Seeing his expression, the three of them understood that something urgent and serious had occurred. Lou Luqiao politely said, "President Qin, you are busy. We will have the opportunity to gather again next time"
Wang Shuimo's thoughtfulness made Lou Luqiao feel very relaxed
Lou Luqiao smiled, in the half-light and half-darkness, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in an instant, stunningly beautiful: "I was just joking with you. Enjoy yourself. Bye bye."
Which floor is on fire
Mother Lou picked up a chopstick full of vegetables and placed it in the small dish in front of her: "Eat up." She looked up in a daze and softly called out: "Thank you, Mom."
The situation at the hospital that day, along with the floral arrangement just seen, was clearly anticipated by Lou Luqiao.
At the entrance, there came the sound of soft footsteps, and someone silently pushed the door open, then slowly approached the bedside. Lou Luqiao sensed her mother's distinctive familiar scent, yet she felt an inexplicable fear and did not dare to open her eyes
The result revealed the scene of Ren Yizhen folding clothes, yet she appeared dazed and lost in thought.
Luo Lvqiao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Han, you have worked hard." She further complimented her, saying, "Miss Han is naturally beautiful; even without makeup, she is so pretty."
Xie Xiaoshan was clearly taken aback: "That sounds good. But is it really feasible?"
All items were packed, and I found the address of his company online. I contacted the courier company and sent the package directly to him.
Mother and daughter embraced and wept
Xie Xiaoshan shrugged her shoulders, appearing as if to say, "This is just fine. This is how it should be. You no longer have any relationship, so why push the money out the door? Look at these employees in the company; they either have elderly family members or young children at home. Over the years, print media has been declining year after year, and we have been struggling to hold on. This year, with the global economy in such a downturn, many of our advertisements have either been cut or reduced. Even if you don't consider yourself, shouldn't you think about your colleagues outside? This year, with the global economy in such a downturn, many of our advertisements have either been cut or reduced. Even if you don't consider yourself, shouldn't you think about your colleagues outside? Do you really want to sell it?"
Luo Lvqiao coldly said: "Wait until I finish being angry before I look for you"
Qin Mutian said: "Of course. Our regional selection manager will provide detailed explanations on this matter"
Luo Lvqiao tilted her head and smiled, saying: "Then we still have plenty of time. I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
I am about to leave with Yizhen. Mr. Song, please take your time in selecting.
Zuo Yunbai: "At that time, I will give you half of the betting money."
Lou Lvqiao said softly: "I believe that Mr. Qin and their shopping website are already well-known enough and do not need to advertise in our magazine. Moreover, the style of their business website does not align with our magazine's aesthetic."
Shui Mo once said that only parents are the ones who truly treat you unconditionally in this world, and that others do not. She only came to understand this after experiencing various ups and downs. Family is irreplaceable.
Well
Qin Mutian's voice was resolute: "Lou Luqiao, get down here, do you hear me?"
Qin Mutian was admitted to the hospital, reportedly with a fractured calf that requires surgery. Xie Xiaoshan, as a representative of their magazine, brought a large bouquet of fresh flowers to visit her that day
At this moment, Qin Mutian took out the document and reproachfully said, "Did the doctor not tell you not to move around carelessly? What are you doing out here?"
After they got together that year, her family cut off all her financial support, hoping to force her to yield. However, she insisted on being with him, so the tuition for that year was paid with the money he had painstakingly saved. Over the years, only when she occasionally recalls that moment does Lou Luqiao still feel a trace of warmth in her heart, and it is only in that moment that she vaguely feels he once loved her.
In the darkness, Qin Mutian's voice was hoarse: "Don't you hate me? I can't go down, isn't that better"
The emergency light in the stairwell emitted a faint green glow. She had her back to him, so from his perspective, he could only see her slender silhouette.
Ten steps away from them, Song Zhengfeng stared at them without blinking. On his arm, he had a young and beautiful girl.
Mr. Qin, please do not be polite
The rules for dining at home are quite strict; if the elders do not start eating, the younger ones cannot eat. As soon as my father spoke, my elder brother and sister-in-law said: "Dad is eating, Mom is eating"
Qin Mutian said, "Alright. Then we shall take our leave, and we hope to receive a response from you soon." Xie Xiaoshan smiled brightly, nodding repeatedly, "Rest assured, General Manager Qin. With such favorable conditions, we won't need to think twice; we will definitely accept, absolutely accept. It's settled then."
In her earlier years, she was far ahead of her peers in both dating and marrying—Luo Lvqiao suddenly shook her head, realizing that the frequency of reminiscing about those days had been increasing exponentially recently
A wheelchair appeared in the corridor, and the woman in the wheelchair was indeed as delicate and graceful as she had imagined, with layers of white bandages on her arms
Luo Yuanqiao was also taken aback. Ren Yizhen's expression was perfectly captured in his eyes.
Father eats, Mother eats, Elder Brother eats, Sister-in-law eats She turned her head to look at the little piano and smiled gently The little piano eats
In front of a large crowd, Ren Yizhen suddenly felt her face flush with embarrassment and pushed him away
On the day of the little piano's birthday, Lou Lvqiao finally returned home
All along, as Xie Xiaoshan said, it was merely that Lou Lvqiao thought too much
It is a uniquely designed necklace. Lou Lvqiao immediately took a liking to it, saying: "This design is very unique"
She was completely embraced by him, her head resting against his chin. His palm tightly gripped her waist with great force, fearing that if he loosened his hold even slightly, she would vanish without a trace.
Lou Luqiao took a sip of wine and said lightly, "What is the wager you made with your friend? How long is the duration?" The man's gaze shifted slightly, and he raised an eyebrow, asking, "What?"
There were also other children in the corridor, and the little piano joined them to play together
The afternoon in my memory, in the garden, the wisteria trellis, the lush leaves of the phoenix tree, the enchanting roses, the fragrant magnolias, the sweetness in the air, has become the warmest reminiscence deep within my heart, a beautiful time that can never be returned to
The man smiled and raised his glass to clink with hers, saying, "I admire you, I truly admire you." He then looked at his watch and, with utmost sincerity and honesty, remarked, "There are twenty minutes and twenty-one seconds left."
Lou Lvqiao responded with a polite smile: "Thank you. I just came to pick up a document. I will leave soon."
Luo Lvqiao furrowed her brows slightly: "Who is it? Why does your expression look as if you've seen a ghost? I shouldn't have any appointments this afternoon." Xie Xiaoshan looked at her and spoke slowly and clearly: "Qin Mutian."
Since that night, Lou Lvqiao has not seen Qin Mutian again. During a meeting, Zhou Xuan mentioned it once, saying that General Qin was on a business trip
Such expressions, over the past few years, Lou Yuanqiao has often encountered
Qin Mutian ultimately did not finish his words
"As a man, how could one possibly dislike having many women"
She stood in place, and in just a minute or two, the vast area had surprisingly become devoid of any figures. A sharp sound echoed in her ears, and all the lights went out in response, plunging her vision into sudden darkness. Accompanied by a rapid and rhythmic alarm, a sense of panic arose within her
Ren Yizhen replied: "The men's clothing store called and said that new styles have arrived. I will go and pick out a few pieces for you shortly"
I apologize for the trouble, Qiao Qiao. Your brother went on a business trip yesterday, and I was unable to attend to it at the moment
It was found in a small shop opened by a designer. It may not be as valuable as big brands, but the moment I saw it, I felt it was suitable for you
I have tried. It seems to be a fracture. In this situation, it is impossible to call for help, but in his current state, he is completely unable to go downstairs
I will be on a business trip tomorrow. This document is somewhat urgent
Luo Yuanqiao has always used a particular brand, and this renowned men's clothing store has been customizing his outfits based on his physique for a long time. Regularly, the latest style brochures are sent to the Luo family for Ren Yizhen to choose from
He said: "I have a document to give you. If it is convenient, I can deliver it to you." Lou Lvqiao declined outright: "No need. Mr. Qin can have Manager Zhou hand it over to me tomorrow, and that will be fine"
Lou Lüqiao suddenly came to her senses, she lifted the covers and got up, ran over and tightly hugged her mother from behind, saying: "Mom, Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all Jojo's fault, it's all Jojo's mistake."
But fortunately, reason prevailed, and Lou Lüqiao did not do so.
Only heard a burst of crackling, banging, and clanging sounds, and after a while, the room finally quieted down. The only thing that could be heard was the incessant beeping of the alarm.
Wang Shuimo said: "I ordered chrysanthemum tea for you. You must have had quite a bit of coffee in the office."
He, tall and imposing, wears his tailored suit with utmost precision. Every move he makes exudes a commanding elegance
Aunt, look, the flowers are all blooming in the water. They are so beautiful!
One does not lose the battle even when losing the input! Lou Lvqiao lies, speaking insincerely without a hint of breathlessness.
After leaving the conference room, it was already past working hours. Xie Xiaoshan shook hands with Qin Mutian and said, "Since everything has gone smoothly, how about our company treating Mr. Qin to a meal today to celebrate our pleasant cooperation in advance?" Qin Mutian glanced at Lou Luqiao and agreed, "OK, thank you"
Before her words had even finished, an object had already fallen from above. She instinctively reached out to shield herself. However, someone was quicker than her, swiftly protecting her beneath their body, wrapping their arms around her, enclosing her within their embrace, covering her entire form.
Lou Lvqiao said: "Alright. In that case, could you please provide us with detailed information and your specific advertising requirements? Our magazine does not accept just any advertisements." Public matters are public, private matters are private; she would naturally not be foolish enough to refuse a client and make a joke out of the company.
This person is the woman from the hospital. But she is actually sitting in a wheelchair? Lou Lvqiao couldn't help but be surprised
Although the indoor lighting was too dim to clearly see his expression, it was still apparent that he seemed somewhat unusual. He forced a smile and said, "Just now something happened. It hit my leg, and it seems I can't move it."
Zuo Yunbai crossed his arms and said: "You have a strong personality and are quite interesting. Let's be friends."
Ah
Qin Mutian is no longer the gentle and patient Qin Mutian of years past; over the years, he has undoubtedly mastered the art of taking the initiative to an extraordinary level.
Lou Lvqiao closed the folder and said: "Mr. Qin, let us consider this; if it is acceptable, we will prepare a detailed plan and quotation for you." Before the words were finished, Xie Xiaoshan's swift kick had already come flying in.
Lou Lvqiao withdrew his hand without hesitation and left without any nostalgia, saying, "Mr. Qin, take good care of yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery."
She couldn't even be bothered to say goodbye. Is it because she is certain that she will never see him again? From beginning to end, she seems to have no interest in him whatsoever
When I was a child, my grandmother was like this. Every day, she would have afternoon tea in the garden, and I would prepare milk and biscuits for her. In the summer, there would be chrysanthemum tea, blooming one by one in transparent glass cups. Usually, my grandmother would sit across from me, elegantly sipping her coffee while watching me eat slowly and neatly, one small bite at a time.
It turned out that he had someone else all along. It turned out that all this time, it was just her, Lou Lvqiao, being presumptuous and thinking too highly of herself.
Observing Xie Xiaoshan's serious expression, one can surmise that this visitor is not an ordinary person
At the moment the woman saw her, she seemed to be taken aback as well. However, she quickly regained her composure and smiled warmly at Lou Lvqiao, saying, "Hello, please come in and have a seat."
The tacit understanding between the two is unparalleled, and the atmosphere inside the house is warm and loving.
"Qiao Qiao, where in the world could there be parents who truly do not want a daughter! It's just that they cannot bring themselves to show that face. In fact, deep down in their hearts, they have long regretted it."
Mother Lou put down her chopsticks, and with great effort, she held back her tears: "Well, hurry up and eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
On the way home, Qiao Lu received a call from her sister-in-law Ren Yizhen: "Qiao Qiao, the little piano is feeling a bit unwell and is currently in the hospital. I need to go home to sort out some clothes. Could you please come over to take care of it?"
Friends, how could he and she still be friends? Two people who were once so close, and yet he hurt her so deeply. How could they still be friends? If she had been the one to betray their relationship back then, perhaps she could also, like him now, confidently ask him when they meet again: "Can we be friends again?"
Lou Lvqiao stood aside and watched them with a smile. After a while, her smile gradually froze.
Sister-in-law, what you said makes me feel like you are being distant. The little piano also belongs to my niece
She was absolutely not exaggerating this time; it was entirely the truth. When Qin Mutian saw her, the disappointment deep in his eyes was evident.
The two individuals remained in a silent standoff, with only the piercing sound of the alarm in the air continuing to ring incessantly
Qin Mutian stared blankly at her, the brilliance in his eyes gradually fading away. He had never taken it. Lou Luqiao forcefully shoved it into his hand and turned to walk away.
"It's alright. As long as our little piano listens to Uncle Doctor and obediently takes the medicine, it will get better soon." Little Piano nodded vigorously and said, "Auntie, Little Piano always listens to Uncle Doctor."
He stared at her, full of interest: "What proposal?"
He hung up the phone and stood up: "I apologize, I have something to attend to and must leave now. I am very sorry."
Xie Xiaoshan said seriously: "Lou Lvqiao, I have realized that the problem now lies with you. The other party has not shown any indication, so why must you be so ungracious? Even if it were any other client today, we should still treat them to a meal."
Luo Lvqiao suddenly had several thoughts in her mind, and finally had to say: "I will help you down the stairs"
Since their marriage, all of this has been managed by Ren Yizhen
What catches the eye is a very large living room, with furniture arranged in an extremely simple manner, which makes it appear even more spacious and tasteful. A whole expanse of transparent glass walls allows one to see half of the bustling city of Luohai even when standing at the entrance.
His fingers suddenly closed tightly, and she was caught off guard, already in his grasp. His palm was large and warm, just like in the past. Yet she felt as if she were holding a hot coal, so scorching that it seemed, with just a slight misstep, her heart had also been burned, subtly throbbing with pain.
Luo Lvqiao was taken aback: "Let me help you up and give it a try." There was an undeniable hint of urgency in her tone, and Qin Mutian felt a sudden warmth in his heart, as if the pain in his legs had lessened considerably.
Yet at this moment, she suddenly realized that she still found it somewhat difficult to accept
Luo Lvqiao lay awake, staring blankly at the intricate lace canopy above. Everything that had transpired with Qin Mutian felt as if it were merely a dream; now she had awakened, still at home, still surrounded by her parents and elder brother, and no one could harm her even the slightest bit anymore
Should she be extremely grateful to him? Even after achieving success and fame, he still remembers her, his ex-wife
Suddenly, her gaze lingered on Lou Yuanqiao's white shirt—she noticed that a button was missing from the shirt, and Ren Yizhen's face flushed unexpectedly. On that day, when she invited Lou Yuanqiao to dinner, he had embraced her in a mischievous manner, and it was on that day that a button fell off this white shirt
Noticing that his collar was askew, Ren Yizhen carefully adjusted it while standing on her tiptoes. Lou Yuanqiao felt a warmth in his heart, and as he lowered his gaze, he saw her thick, feathery eyelashes. Overwhelmed by his affection, he couldn't help but lean in and kiss her cheek
Ren Yizhen, is his
Wang Shui Mo's clear laughter came through the phone: "Yes. From the tone of your voice, it seems that this month's magazine is facing difficulties in publication again"
Wow, what a beautiful Barbie princess
He stepped forward and embraced Ren Yizhen, greeting Song Zhengfeng with poise: "Mr. Song, long time no see." Song Zhengfeng's expression was indifferent: "Indeed. It has been a long time since we last met."
During the meal, Qin Mutian's phone rang. He answered the call and suddenly changed color: "Alright. I will return right away"
Slight pneumonia, the doctor recommends hospitalization for observation
She must be thinking about Song Zhengfeng again. Lou Yuanqiao suddenly felt a surge of emotions overwhelming him. He walked over and kissed Ren Yizhen passionately.
The shooting commenced swiftly, proceeding in an orderly manner as planned. Han Qingzhi had a good sense of the camera, which facilitated a smooth progress. Lou Luqiao watched for a moment and prepared to leave
Luo Lvqiao smiled lazily and said, "We are all intelligent people; you understand what I mean." The man held his wine glass, but smiled without speaking
The matriarch turned around and embraced her, tears streaming down her face: "Qiao Qiao, your father and mother also have their shortcomings."
Zuo Yunbai encountered such an interesting and playful woman for the first time in his life. He laughed and said, "OK! Deal." After saying this, he gently clinked his glass with hers and elegantly tilted his head back to drink it all in one go
Ren Yizhen gently said: "Qiao Qiao, don't go back tonight, just sleep at home and keep your father and mother company. They have been quite lonely over the years"
Ren Yizhen: "I will wait for you at the restaurant"
She sensed something was amiss and turned around: "What is wrong with you?"
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the stairwell. Qin Mutian pulled her hand away and leaned against the wall: "You should go down quickly. I will go down by myself." Lou Luqiao did not move.
Then? Lou Lvqiao said: "Then, we will split half of the stakes."
Suddenly, the car screeched to a halt. Ren Yizhen's entire body lurched forward.
When she was a child, perhaps while she had already fallen into a deep sleep, her mother came to check on her countless times, gently tucking her in—only she was unaware of it.
Through the slightly ajar door, she clearly saw that Qin Mutian's right foot was thick and heavy due to being in a cast, making it difficult to move even a fraction.
Han Qingzhi's agent smiled and said, "If our Qingzhi has half of Sister Qiao's beauty, it would be enough for her to be popular in the entertainment industry for eight to ten years. In the future, we hope Sister Qiao will offer more guidance and care, and frequently consider our Qingzhi for cover shoots." Lou Lvqiao also exchanged a few polite remarks.
After that year at the hospital, the two had not seen each other for several years. Such an encounter truly makes one feel as if it were a lifetime ago
Lou Lvqiao recalled the scene of that woman feeding Qin Mutian in the hospital
After a long while, he spoke with a dry voice: "Then what do I owe you?"
Luo Lvqiao naturally has everything go according to her wishes
Someone approached with charm and said: "Can we share a drink together?"
The mother's hand slowly touched her face, gently caressing her brows and eyes. After a long while, the mother let out a soft sigh, perhaps commenting on how thin she had become
Come, see what gift I have brought back for you
Upon arriving at the designated location, Shui Mo was already waiting there. With long straight hair and a beautiful face, she appeared elegant and refreshing from a distance, resembling a recent university graduate. It is truly deceiving, considering she already has a son of such age
Luo Lvqiao was momentarily taken aback for half a second, and then she took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and stepped inside
After a considerable amount of time, she reached out to tuck the blanket for her, and only then did she rise to prepare to leave
Qin Mutian suddenly turned around, as if there were starlight flowing in her eyes. She handed the check to him and said, "Mr. Qin, then I shall not see you off."
Lou Lvqiao considered himself accustomed to handsome men. His elder brother Lou Yuanqiao was tall and mature, Yan Baiyao was handsome and proud, and Qin Mutian was gentle and composed. Yet, upon seeing such men, Lou Lvqiao could not help but sigh inwardly: Alas, yet another harm to women.
Her gaze was drawn to a bouquet of fresh flowers on the coffee table. Fresh and elegant, each flower swayed gracefully, perfectly poised
Four people went out to dine together
Qin Mutian silently handed it to her
In the end, Qin Mutian conceded defeat, stepping down beside her, one step at a time. He sighed from above, his voice barely audible: "You are so stubborn; you must have endured a lot of suffering over the years."
A phrase that awakens the dreamer! It is because she has not truly let go yet
Luo Lvqiao lowered her eyelids and retreated little by little
Luo Lvqiao smiled faintly: "I just find it too boring. Well, I'm leaving. I wish you a pleasant evening!" Besides the boredom, there was also the lingering sense of irritation brought to her by Qin Mutian.
Xie Xiaoshan repeatedly exchanged glances with her, implying that she was crazy for not accepting the opportunity that was presented to her. By the time she uttered her final sentence, she had already kicked her under the conference table.
Ke Loufu is simply unwilling to lower his face. Unfortunately, Lu Qiao has the same stubborn temperament as her father. Now, the daughter has finally agreed to return.
As she saw her mother's hand reach for the doorknob, a scene from that year in California suddenly flashed through her mind. Although so many years had passed in the blink of an eye, recalling it now felt as if it had happened just yesterday
Lou Lvqiao took a gift out of her bag: "Auntie knows that the little piano is the most well-behaved. Look, what has Auntie brought you?"
Qin Mutian did not force her; he turned and walked towards his own room
In the end, there were only four people left: her, Lisa, Qin Mutian, and Zhou Xuan. Xie Xiaoshan had another appointment. Lou Luqiao was very reluctant.
Lou Lvqiao said lightly: "No need, I have long forgotten. Over the years, I have had many boyfriends; if I were to hold a grudge against each one, even with forty-eight hours in a day, it would not be enough."
In recent years, the person whom Lou Luqiao cherishes the most is her niece, Xiaogangqin. As soon as she hears that Xiaogangqin is unwell, Lou Luqiao becomes extremely anxious: "What is wrong with Xiaogangqin? Where does it hurt?"
Ren Yizhen then went to the laundry room, where she separated and washed the clothes, and brought in those that were drying outside. She then organized the clothes one by one in the living room.
Xie Xiaoshan chuckled and said: "You are kind-hearted, honest and straightforward, and eager to help others, but these words absolutely do not apply to Qin Mutian. Yet you have unexpectedly performed such kind-hearted, honest, and helpful deeds, which makes me greatly suspicious!"
But she stopped at the door of the ward
Lou Lvqiao could clearly hear the rapid thumping of his heart, urgent and hurried. The intimacy between the two made Lou Lvqiao feel a sense of strangeness. She turned her head away and said, "I am fine. Thank you, Mr. Qin"
If she had valued these things, she would not have married him back then.
Over the years, Qin Mutian had envisioned these scenes. However, now that he truly hears her speak of them, his heart still aches with a bittersweet pain
She is issuing a "zhu ke ling".
Having said that, she turned around and left without looking back. This left Qin Mutian standing in place, his face pale.
After sending off "God of Wealth" Qin Mutian, Xie Xiaoshan knew that Lu Qiao would definitely look for her, so she simply went directly to her office
In recent years, every move of Nü'er Lou and Lü Qiao has been regularly reported to them through photographs and information. Yi Zhen and Xiao Gangqin also occasionally meet with her, and each time they return, they always provide her with detailed descriptions and show her various selfies.
"Alright." Qin Mutian provided her with an address
All the clothes fell to the ground... I just finished folding them... Ren Yizhen protested softly in his ear.
Wang Shuimo nodded slightly. Lou Luqiao suddenly stood up, grabbed her handbag, and left
Qin Mutian, you know my temperament. If you do not leave, I will not leave. Whether to leave or not, you decide for yourself. At this point, Lou Luqiao truly had no desire to waste words with him
Luo Yuanqiao sat down on the sofa as soon as he entered, and a staff member served tea. Ren Yizhen was accompanied by a sales assistant and took a brief stroll around.
The air was very silent, and Lou Lvqiao suddenly thought of something, politely saying: "Please wait a moment."
It may be due to encountering that person she did not wish to see again, which stirred all the painful memories lingering in her mind. Or perhaps it is because Shui Mo has found happiness, making her feel increasingly solitary.
"Then why are you cooperating with me? Is it merely for the amount of the wager?" Zuo Yunbai was quite certain that he had never disclosed the figure of the stake to her
Luo Lvqiao coldly laughed to herself, forcefully pulling her hand away: "Mr. Qin, I have no desire to see you again, so I will forgo the words 'goodbye'"
She briefly skimmed through the materials, and several questions flashed through her mind: "Regarding the advertisement, I believe it should be conducted simultaneously across several aspects such as television networks and print media, right? As for the photographs for the print advertisements, will your company provide them to us, or will we take them ourselves?" Qin Mutian replied, "You will take them yourselves."
Haha. Lou Lvqiao really wants to laugh out loud, but she just cannot lift the corners of her mouth that feel as heavy as a thousand pounds
Xie Xiaoshan's words are heartfelt and sincere, each sentence coming from the depths of her heart. Lou Luqiao could not find a voice to respond.
In twenty minutes, we will step out together. I will help you win the competition
Wang Shuimo hurriedly grasped her hand: "Lü Qiao, please do not be angry with me. It is my fault; I should not have helped him. However, he kept begging me, and somehow I became soft-hearted... I promise there will be no next time. Is that alright?"
Qin Mutian: "This is the brand we have just acquired. The specific time for the press conference will be at the beginning of next month. Therefore, we hope that all advertisements for this brand can be launched simultaneously, with major media outlets releasing them at the same time."
In less than a minute, medical personnel rushed in carrying a stretcher. Qin Mutian seemed to have something to say: "Lü Qiao, whether you believe it or not, I ... ... I ... ... "
Before her lay all her favorite dishes. Lou Lvqiao took a deep breath to steady her hand holding the chopsticks, preventing it from trembling. How many times had she envisioned such a scene in the middle of the night? Now, facing her family, she found herself at a loss for words, feeling a blockage in her throat, making even breathing difficult.
Lou Lvqiao immediately said goodbye and left. In the shiny elevator, Lou Lvqiao kept staring at the document bag.
That night, Lou Lvqiao, under the influence of alcohol, impulsively went to the hospital
Lou Lvqiao shook her head, trying to cast off some of the chaotic thoughts in her mind. As she inadvertently looked up, she suddenly froze in place.
This is the taste of home
Not far away, Qin Mutian hurriedly emerged from the emergency room, holding a woman in his arms. Perhaps due to his concern, he did not notice her presence.
Although Shui Mo and Yan Bai Yao have experienced various challenges, they have finally come to understand each other's hearts. Over the years, despite the twists and turns, the two have continued to love one another. This is the most important thing
When Lou Lvqiao returned home, the first thing she did was rummage through all her belongings, piling them into a heap. As she tossed the last bag onto the pile, she slumped down like a deflated balloon, slowly curling up with her knees hugged to her chest, her head drooping weakly.
Ren Yizhen went directly to the restaurant, and shortly after sitting down, she saw Lou Yuanqiao striding towards her from a distance.
Luo Lvqiao naturally agreed at once: "Alright, alright, alright. I will go over immediately"
Luo Yuanqiao, with a sullen expression, pushed the door open and got out of the car, heading straight home and entering the bedroom
Hello, Aunt. The little piano is incredibly cute, and she warmly approached and took Lou Lvqiao's hand, saying, "Aunt, Grandma knows you are back today and made Eight Treasures Tea for you early this morning. Grandma said you used to love the Eight Treasures Tea she made the most."
She staggered to her feet and politely thanked him once more: "Thank you." He remained silent, still seated. The alarm in the air reminded her that the danger had not yet passed. She took a few steps, but he still did not rise.
He once said: "Xiao Qiao, when I have the ability, I will give you all the best." Yes, he now has the ability and can afford to buy these so-called luxury goods in large quantities
Okay. Thank you
Finally, Xie Xiaoshan sighed and added, "Unless you have a guilty conscience"
The woman held an apple in her hand, skillfully peeling it. In just a moment, she had already peeled and cut it into pieces, using a small silver fork to offer a piece to Qin Mutian, who was reading official documents. Qin Mutian said nothing and simply opened his mouth to take a bite.
Luo Lvqiao has been tossing and turning in her bed
Luo Yuanqiao was alone in the bedroom, feeling cold and desolate, which was quite unpleasant, so he opened the door and walked out again
Then let it be these few sets. I will have them packed. Ren Yizhen, feeling shy, turned around, and suddenly her whole body became stiff.
In the hospital, the image of Qin Mutian holding a woman suddenly leaped into my mind.
Luo Yuanqiao sat down with a smile: "Why choose this place? I was actually thinking that I haven't been to the staff cafeteria this year, and I wanted to take you to try the new dishes."
The woman's arm was wrapped in layers of white bandages
I have wanted to say sorry to you for so many years
Qin Mutian turned around and looked at her with a calm and deep gaze. In his hand was the photo she had placed on the desk. It was taken in Southeast Asia last year, showing her in a gorgeous veil with a chrysanthemum pinned to the side of her long wavy hair.
Thank you. I really like it
Lou Lvqiao took a sip of tea: "What? Speak."
Xie Xiaoshan said that her smile was too enchanting and alluring, making her more beautiful than flowers by a few degrees, as if she were always ready to captivate others. She also mentioned that there had been considerations to invite her to be the cover girl for an issue, but there were concerns that the photos might be too seductive, potentially provoking outrage among women. Taking into account the magazine's sales issues, they ultimately decided against it. Later, when she burst onto the scene, the effect was indeed remarkable, and it ended up resting on her desk.
The warmth of Qin Mutian's breath lingered familiarly around her, just like in the old days. It was his anxious call that brought her back to reality: "Qiao Qiao, are you okay?"
Actually, Lou Yuanqiao is jealous. He has been watching the absent-minded expression on Ren Yizhen's face in the car, feeling both angry and frustrated.
The ringtone rang cheerfully as Lou Lvqiao hurriedly answered the phone amidst a collection of photos: "I can't believe you suddenly have a change of heart and are calling me. Has the global honeymoon come to an end"
The green Joe interrupted her and said, "I don't have."
In the end, she still accepted it. It was to prove that she had no ulterior motives in her heart, and even more so for the colleagues at the magazine. Moreover, she managed to produce a plan that satisfied her in the shortest time possible
Now it was Xie Xiaoshan who was slightly taken aback: "He saved you?" Lou Lvqiao recounted the events as they had occurred. Xie Xiaoshan glanced at her and said: "No wonder, when I went to see that person today with flowers, his gaze was fixed on the door, looking utterly disappointed"
Suddenly, a gentle and charming voice came from the corridor: "Mu Tian, who has arrived?"
If it were not for this abrupt encounter today, she would not have thought of Song Zhengfeng for a very long time. The most frightening thing is that she had been completely unaware all along
It seems that Qin Mutian has come prepared today. Since there is no way to avoid it, we can only meet force with force and use earth to cover water.
Luo Lvqiao felt a sense of relief: "You let the emergency personnel come up the stairwell to the ninth floor, Mr. Qin has injured his foot and needs medical attention"
In such a scene, Lou Lvqiao had been living day by day like this since childhood. However, for some reason, at this moment, she felt tears welling up in her eyes, on the verge of spilling over. She hurriedly took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress the bitterness in her eyes.
At that time, her family was indeed acting in her best interest, which is why they tried to stop her. However, she was too young and impulsive. It seemed that there was a kind of fervent obsession; the more her parents forbade her, the more she wanted to do it, seeking to prove that she was right. In fact, if she had just taken a step back, it might not have come to this point. But how could she understand that at the time, charging forward recklessly? Perhaps this is the price of youth. In fact, if she had just taken a step back, it might not have come to this point. But how could she understand that at the time, charging forward recklessly? Perhaps this is the price of youth.
Qin Mutian listened carefully as she introduced each point. Finally, he said: "Very good concept. How about this, Manager Zhou, you go back and discuss this plan within your department, see if there are any specific improvements needed, and give me a response next week"
Luo Yuanqiao naturally had no objections to her words, so he entered the changing room to change his clothes. In just a moment, he came out after changing.
Hurry, hurry up
The elite gentleman named Zhou Xuan handed over a document. What caught her eye was a cosmetics brand, and Lou Lvqiao looked up in astonishment. She had heard that this international brand had been acquired by a certain Chinese company, but she did not expect it to be acquired by Qin Mutian
Lou Lvqiao raised her eyebrows at her, but did not speak
She did not speak, yet she held tightly onto his arm without letting go
Upon hearing about the newly released magazine, Xie Xiaoshan naturally understood her hard work and quickly said: "Let's not discuss that for now. I want to inform you that someone is looking for you, and I have arranged for him to wait in your office."
It turns out that he was in a hurry to leave because of this reason
Could it be that she is too sensitive? Lou Lvqiao touched the wall and continued to walk forward. It was so dark that she could see nothing, and since she was not familiar with the area, after taking just a few steps, she felt as if her foot had caught on something. She hurriedly lifted her foot and shook it, trying to shake it off, but her steps did not falter.
On this day, Lu Qiao returned to the office from outside and saw Xie Xiaoshan standing at the reception desk, constantly looking around. The moment she saw her, her face showed a look of relief.
Indeed, this is the case. If any client were to suddenly place two large advertisements, they would enthusiastically embrace it, let alone something as trivial as dining and socializing.
On that morning, Lou Yuanqiao called three times, asking Ren Yizhen to accompany him for lunch
Xie Xiaoshan pulled her aside: "Lou Luqiao, where is your phone? I have called you multiple times, but you are not in the service area."
It is one of the top high-end residential complexes in Luohai City, with an elevator that goes directly to the top floor. Qin Mutian is already waiting at the door: "Please come in"
Luo Lvqiao was taken aback for a moment, but then her expression turned cold: "Therefore, I absolutely will not accept it. I, Luo Lvqiao, will never partake in food offered out of pity." Xie Xiaoshan sighed and said: "So many years have passed, why must you still hold onto it so tightly? Unless you still love him."
Lou Lvqiao paused for a moment before saying: "Yes, Qin Mutian, I do dislike you. However, I am not so cold-blooded as to stand by and watch you die, especially since you were injured while trying to save me—there is no reason for me to leave you here alone"
For this prominent figure who is currently making waves in the IT industry, and who possesses such a refined and gentle demeanor, all the soft-spoken ladies in the company are stirring with excitement
Qin Mutian looked at her deeply and then left.
Lou Lvqiao rejected him very straightforwardly: "I am not interested in you"
Those who know her, none are better than Wang Shuimo. Lou Lvqiao sighed deeply and said, "Yes, we are about to go to the printing factory, but the most important cover character has not been settled yet."
The spokesperson for the cosmetics is a young jade-like star, Han Qingzhi, who is young, beautiful, and fresh. Among the several candidates she chose, she was the one he liked the most. After sending the information of the selected candidates to him, Qin Mutian also chose her.
Ren Yizhen immediately smiled: "That's great." Then she lowered her voice again, "Mom knew you were coming, so she went shopping for supplies with Grandma several days in advance, so everything is new. Parents care about their image; they may not say it, but deep down, they love you the most! Look, this white hydrangea was personally cut from the garden by Mom and arranged here.
Luo Lvqiao's heart gave a slight tug. This is a vase of flowers.
There was something strange in Qin Mutian's eyes, a hint of shallow sadness. Lou Luqiao couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Please, it was he who cheated back then, not her
Father Lou Zhenghua and mother Qiao Qi have been waiting at home for a long time. When they heard Ren Yizhen's car stop, they exchanged a glance and saw the anticipation in each other's eyes.
Unexpectedly, the two would meet again at the hospital an hour later
Lou Lvqiao has never had a penchant for watching others being affectionate, whether in television shows, movies, or photographs, so she only thought about leaving as soon as possible. She shifted her gaze to Qin Mutian and said, "President Qin, the documents."
Lou Lvqiao felt a jolt throughout his body. After seeing him holding another person in the hospital, Lou Lvqiao had once searched online for Qin Mutian's marital status. However, he kept his privacy tightly guarded, and there was no information available about the woman he was holding.
The little piano played Barbie for a while and then said to Lou Lvqiao: "Aunt, I am so bored. Let's go play in the corridor for a while."
Lou Luqiao finished the sake in her cup, resting her chin on her hand in contemplation. After a while, she blinked her long, curled eyelashes and said alluringly: "Xie Xiaoshan, how about this? I pretend to accept him, wait for him to take the bait, and then decisively reject him. What do you think? After all, I don't have a man anyway"
The couple felt a surge of emotions within, yet their faces displayed no expression at all, merely stating in a casual tone: "You have returned!"
Luo Lvqiao is an exceptionally intelligent individual; she has already understood the situation: "It was all Qin Mutian who asked you to pass this on to me, wasn't it?"
As the two individuals stepped out of the door, Lou Lvqiao released the hand she had been holding: "Alright, I can only accompany you in this act up to this point. Farewell."
Due to Xie Xiaoshan's commitments, the irritable Lou Lvqiao went to the bar alone. In the noisy and chaotic environment, she sat quietly at a corner of the bar, drinking alone.
After getting into the car, Ren Yizhen remained in a daze.
Luo Lvqiao paused for a moment, then raised her gaze and politely said, "Mr. Luo, if there is nothing else, I need to get back to work."
She groped her way out, step by step, faintly sensing that there seemed to be others around her. Lou Luqiao simply stopped and asked, "Who?" No one responded, and the only answer was the silence of the empty room.
Please treat me to a cup of coffee, as I believe receiving a gift would likely improve your mood a bit
Lou Lvqiao sincerely said: "Alright, I admit, I am not that kind-hearted. If he hadn't saved me yesterday, I wouldn't have cared about his life or death!"
Who is this woman? This question has lingered in Lou Lvqiao's mind for several consecutive days
That evening, the two of them had dinner together. Xie Xiaoshan scrutinized her for a long time before asking in confusion, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, you clearly dislike him so much and have been trying to avoid him, why didn't you just leave him there yesterday? Why did you go out of your way to take him to the hospital?"
The leather cord tangled around her foot seemed to be entwined with other things, but she only felt a numb pain in her elbow and knee, and even her head gradually became dazed, unable to comprehend how he could appear here
I am fine and have not moved around." The woman looked up and reproached, "Mu Tian, why didn't you invite your friend in to sit down.
Lou Lvqiao was startled as if struck by an electric shock, suddenly raising her head. Xie Xiaoshan said, "Do you think I would lie to you? Look, he has been in your office for over an hour now"
Mr. Lou, these casual styles are the latest creations from the designer. Your physique surpasses that of the model, and you will certainly look good in them
Zuo Yunbai suddenly chased after him: "Wait a moment. Give me a way to contact you." Lou Luqiao turned her head, looking at him with a hint of surprise.
Thank you, sister-in-law. Lou Lvqiao felt a burning sensation in her eyes and nose. She had always thought that her mother was still angry with her and unwilling to forgive her
She then asked, "Style? Budget? How many years of time? What are your company's requirements regarding advertising celebrities?" Qin Mutian shook his head and replied, "For specific budget and requirements, you should discuss in detail with Manager Zhou and his team."
Han Qingzhi was already putting on makeup. Upon seeing her, she politely stood up to greet: "Sister Qiao, you have arrived." Not only was her smile sweet, but her words were also exceedingly sweet. It seems difficult for this woman not to be popular.
Lou Lvqiao gently touched her head and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" Little Piano coughed and nodded.
The reason why Ren Yizhen was unwilling to come to his office was well understood by Lou Yuanqiao. In the face of this helplessness, he had no choice but to agree to Ren Yizhen.
Luo Lvqiao stopped and did not wish to enter: "Mr. Qin, I have other matters to attend to. I will just take the documents and leave, so I won't go in to sit down."
A familiar voice suddenly echoed in her ears: "Be careful!" In her haste, she was unable to stop in time, and her whole body was tripped by an object, falling straight to the ground.
Qin Mutian was standing in front of the desk. His tall and upright figure resembled that of a pine tree, just as it did in his younger years
The next day, she went to the company for the morning meeting feeling refreshed. As a result, just after she came out of the conference room, the secretary informed her that Editor-in-Chief Xie and Qin Mutian were both waiting for her in the office
It seems that this time, Lvqiao is truly angry
Luo Luqiao shot a glance at Xie Xiaoshan, surprised that she even mentioned the idiom "warm-hearted as an ancient path." With a hint of annoyance, she said, "Do you really think that in your heart, I, Luo Luqiao, am as venomous as a snake or scorpion?"
Such formalities felt to Qin Mutian as if each word were a blade, cutting painfully through life
At that moment, the alarm suddenly stopped. A moment later, Lou Lvqiao's phone rang; it was a call from Lisa: "Sister Qiao, it was a false alarm. The alarm has been lifted"
The little piano joyfully hugged it in its arms, extremely happy: "Thank you, aunt."
In fact, she vaguely knew the true reason, but she had never spoken it out loud
Why is it difficult to accept? Is it because she is all alone, while the person who betrayed her has long forgotten her and has already moved on with someone else? Or is there something else? Lou Lvqiao herself cannot say for sure
One merely wishes to engage in some flirtation with their ex-wife
It is a cash check, and the ink of the numbers written on it is not yet dry. Clearly, she just went out to do this.
From beginning to end, Ren Yizhen did not say a single word to Song Zhengfeng
All these years have passed, yet she still feels the presence of Song Zhengfeng in her heart
The small piano chimed clearly: "Grandfather is eating, Grandmother is eating, Aunt is eating, Father is eating, Mother is eating"
The mother helped her pull out the dining chair, sitting closely beside her mother, Qiao Qi. Lou Luqiao lowered her head to take her seat, not daring to look at her father's expression. However, her father's voice was very gentle as he said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meal."
Luo Lvqiao looked at the pile of documents on the table, realizing that this was not something that could be resolved in a short time. She pressed her aching forehead and said, "Alright. But I can only spare one hour."
Song Zhengfeng: "Goodbye"
Xie Xiaoshan was taken aback: "He has a wife? How is that possible? If he has a wife, why would he still be pursuing you? His demeanor clearly indicates that he still has feelings for you."
At that moment, Lou Lvqiao even had an impulse to push him down. If it were not for him, she would not have fallen to such a state
It is the latest version of Barbie, with a pink dress that flows like clouds. One day, Lou Lvqiao passed by a shopping mall and saw it, so she bought it, intending to give it to the little pianist
The air was filled with tranquility. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Please help me up first."
Such a few simple words, yet they made Lou Lvqiao's eyes turn red
After a while, he gently said: "Xiao Qiao, I am sorry"
She got up and left the office, but soon returned.
She buried her head deep in the quilt
Lou Luqiao gently opened her eyes, and in the darkness, she could only see her mother's slender and tall silhouette. The tip of her nose ached to the extreme, and her throat felt as if it were blocked. She opened her mouth but could only remain silent.
I just did not expect Qin Mutian to come directly to her office to look for her
She reached out, trying to help him up, but Qin Mutian pushed her away with a sudden force, his tone urgent: "You need to go, hurry down. Don't worry about me, you can't support me."
In this lifetime, there should be no further entanglements between her and him. As long as she does not see him or think of him, she remains the beautiful, vibrant, and confident Lou Lvqiao, as if she has never been hurt.
The speaker is indifferent, while the listener is attentive. Ren Yi's ears suddenly felt warm. She nodded absentmindedly: "Alright, bring over these few styles for me to try."
It wouldn't really catch fire, would it
His voice came softly from above: "Xiao Qiao, can we be friends?"
Given Qin Mutian's current status, he is not lacking in women, so why would he lower himself and show such deference to you? It doesn't make sense at all. Xie Xiaoshan was utterly perplexed.
When she spoke, she maintained a faintly polite smile, as if he were merely a stranger or just someone she had recently met. She used to be so warm, her smile radiant like the sun, and when she was angry, it was like a tempest. Her manner of speaking was not like this; everything was not as it is now
The cosmetics company newly acquired under General Qin's name! Lou Lvqiao truly wanted to laugh heartily three times towards the sky
In Qin Mutian's words, there was a kind of indulgence. Lou Lvqiao heard it clearly, and her heart inexplicably twitched.
It was just such a simple sentence, yet Lou Yuanqiao seemed to have heard some sweet words, feeling quite pleased in his heart. He smiled as he took a sip of water, repeatedly saying: "Alright, alright. I will do as you say."
Disappointed? Xiao Shan, you must have become nearsighted recently! He already has a wife.
She struggled to push him away, wanting to get up, when Qin Mutian's voice sounded in her ear: "Don't move." It was better that he didn't say anything, but once he did, she moved even more vigorously. She tugged at her feet a few times, and a series of sounds came from the connected end. His voice rose significantly, tinged with a hint of tension: "Don't move."
That night, Lou Luqiao, who had cleared the debts owed by Qin Mutian, slept very well
Mother
Luo Lvqiao remained silent for a long time before softly responding with a "mm"
Since the guests have arrived, Lou Lvqiao had no choice but to adopt a hospitable demeanor and politely said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, may I ask what brings you here?" She naturally understood the reason for his visit, but she also understood the principle of remaining still when the enemy does not move.
Lou Yuanqiao wouldn't care about these things. Her warm and soft body in his arms is the only confirmation he needs that she belongs to him.
It turns out it was just like this. Qin Mutian smiled wryly
Ren Yizhen first discovered that Lou Yuanqiao, who loves fitness and sports, indeed looks stylish in whatever he wears. This casual outfit, worn by him, exudes a lazy yet sexy vibe
I have roughly calculated the exchange rate of the US dollar based on the year, and I have also added some inflation from the past few years. Take a look, and if there are no issues, you can keep it. Of course, I know you don't lack this small amount of money right now. But after all, it is what I owe you—regardless, I still want to say thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to complete my studies on time.
His seemingly casual remark caused Lou Lvqiao to suddenly well up with tears
Lou Lvqiao said angrily, "The power is out. Besides, how dare you ask me where I've been? I went to negotiate the advertisement for the new magazine, didn't I?"
The lively and lovely little piano, which is usually very quiet due to a cold, finally showed a smile when it saw Lou Luqiao: "Aunt."
Qin Mutian did not speak, but his hand gradually moved down against her body. Lou Luqiao was momentarily stunned, forgetting to react. His hand continued to slide down, eventually stopping at her foot, groping to pull off the entangled leather strap.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sound of "beep beep beep" echoed through the air, leaving everyone stunned and at a loss. For a moment, they all halted their actions and looked at each other. A few seconds later, someone quickly reacted: "It's a fire alarm, hurry, everyone evacuate."
The mother clutched her chest, and with her father's support, opened the door and slowly walked away. She fought back her tears, wanting to rush out and call for them, but she did not do so. For she knew she could not bring them back, unless she left Mu Tian. She thought her parents were just being stubborn; they would never ignore her.
In a moment of chaos, everyone rushed towards the emergency exit. Lisa seemed to be calling for her from the front, but it was too chaotic, and the entire space was filled with shouts of: "Hurry up!" "Oh no!"
Do you still remember the birthday gifts you received over the past two years? In fact... they were all given to me by someone to pass on to you. These words from Wang Shuimo had been on her mind for a long time. She had always been uncertain about whether to confront Lu Qiao. But since the topic had come up today, she might as well lay it all bare. As the saying goes, a paper cannot cover a fire; Lu Qiao will eventually find out.
Lou Lvqiao and Qin Mutian faced each other across the room, being very polite like at a state banquet: "General Qin, please."
Go to hell, Qin Mutian
Back then, they were merely expressing their anger, threatening their daughter and forbidding her from associating with that person. But who would have thought they would actually push their beloved daughter away? Alas, over the years, the couple has not been without regret.
Mom, I am sorry, Qiao Qiao should listen to you. Mom, I was wrong, I know I was wrong
It is also clear to see the delicate woman sitting in a wheelchair, who is currently accompanying Qin Mutian
Lou Lvqiao got straight to the point: "You can take this advertisement, but don't expect me to take responsibility." Xie Xiaoshan chuckled and shot her a glance: "Do you think that's possible? Qin Mutian is here to throw money at you. Otherwise, given his current status and position, why would he come forward to discuss this with us? Everyone knows the answer.
Luo Lvqiao pondered for a few seconds: "Mr. Qin, where are you now? I am on my way home and can come over to pick it up."
Since it is so boring, let's treat it as a game. Lou Lvqiao glanced lightly in the general direction from which he had just come: "Are you betting with your friends on how long it will take to deal with me? How many minutes are left now?"
"You are my wife, so there is no need to be shy; let them look if they want to." Lou Yuanqiao has always been domineering.
A transparent jar filled with a variety of dried fruits, including red goji berries, red dates, red hawthorn, yellow and green raisins, exquisite chrysanthemums, and honey-colored longan—each bite is sweet yet slightly sour, with the unique aromas of the various dried fruits lingering on the lips and teeth, making it particularly suitable for this season
Once again, it was a phone call from Qin Mutian, around eight o'clock in the evening
Luo Yuanqiao stepped forward and, as if in passing, ruffled her hair: "You little girl"
Returning to the place where she grew up, everything remained as it was before her departure. The various flowers in the garden bloomed vibrantly, cascading like the sea. The pink climbing roses by the wooden trellis were dotted among the lush leaves in varying shades, exuding a delightful fragrance
The woman's face was hidden in his embrace, making it difficult to see clearly. The only visible feature was her long, jet-black hair, cascading down like satin to her shoulders
That evening, Lisa knocked on the door and peeked in, saying: "Sister Qiao, it is time to go to the shooting location." She replied: "Okay, understood"
No. Ren Yizhen is very resolute.
Marriage is merely a thin piece of marriage certificate; only by believing in each other can we continue to hold hands and walk together, regardless of the hardships and trials we may face.
Lou Lvqiao shot a fierce glare at her, but Xie Xiaoshan completely ignored it. She reached out and warmly shook hands with Qin Mutian, saying, "President Qin, then it's settled. We will send the proposal and quotation to your company for your review as soon as possible"
Elder brother
Qin Mutian stood up. Lou Luqiao picked up the check: "Wait a moment."
If possible, she would truly prefer that past to be merely a dream! Upon waking, she finds herself still before going abroad
Qin Mutian seemed to be struck by something, suddenly changing color
Luo Lvqiao's hand rested on his waist, while his right arm embraced her shoulder. The two of them moved down the stairs step by step, resembling conjoined twins. He exerted all his strength on his left foot to lessen her burden.
Wang Shuimo stood in place, at a loss as she watched Lou Lvqiao walk away.
Alright. Thank you, Qiao Qiao. I will return as soon as possible
An elite gentleman beside Qin Mutian explained with a smile: "The editor-in-chief must have misunderstood. The advertising project we are here to discuss today is for a cosmetics company recently acquired under President Qin's name. The type is absolutely in line with the style of both your new and old magazines"
For a moment, it seemed as if the air had suddenly fallen silent
