Wanwan didn’t catch Ning Wan and Lu Jingchen chatting just now, but when she first saw Lu Jingchen, she noticed a clue and subconsciously concluded that Lu Jingchen must be acquainted with Wanwan.
Lu Jingchen looked down at her, his face still wearing that gentle and refined smile, not hiding the truth from her, "Hmm, I’ve seen her before, I could say we know each other, but we’re not very close. She was the girlfriend of a good friend of mine back then!"
His interactions with Ning Wan were not very deep. It was just that Xi Mohan had invited her to dine out with them, and because of Xi Mohan, Ning Wan often appeared in their social circle.
They had met countless times, but had hardly exchanged more than a few words.
Song Qiao’s face changed slightly as she heard Lu Jingchen’s words. She stared at him with widened eyes, her lips quivered, but she couldn’t say anything.
Watching the girl in his arms hesitate to speak, his eyebrows slightly raised as he spoke softly, "What’s the matter? Jealous? I’m really not close with her!"
Perhaps it was because it was the first time he saw Song Qiao show such hesitation, Lu Jingchen subconsciously felt that she was jealous.
Song Qiao looked at the handsome face in front of her, her mouth twitching subconsciously. Did she seem like someone so petty? Moreover, she was very clear that although Ning Wan knew Lu Jingchen, he was definitely not the type of man Ning Wan would like. Check latest chapters at novel※fire.net
"Alright, you go back and pack your stuff. I’ll go upstairs to deal with some work first, and once you’re ready, have the driver bring you over!"
The man’s voice was soft and low, with a hint of depth, resonating in Song Qiao’s ears like a gentle whisper, extremely pleasant and heart-stirring.
Lu Jingchen stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, then let her sit properly before he opened the car door with his long legs stepping out.
After he instructed her on a few things, he had planned to watch Song Qiao leave, but she refused and suggested to watch him leave instead. The man had no choice but to turn around and leave with his tall and straight figure offering a sense of security.
Song Qiao’s heart was filled with countless emotions, her heart even ached densely, watching as Lu Jingchen gradually entered the gates of CK Corporation before disappearing from sight. Only then did she look away, the slightly downcast eyes concealing indecipherable emotions as she bit her lip.
The driver was very adept at reading the room and remained silent, waiting until he felt Song Qiao was feeling somewhat better before cautiously speaking up, "Madam, are you alright? Are we heading back to the villa now or would you like to go somewhere else?"
Song Qiao lifted her eyes, now back to her usual demeanor, and she ran her hands through her hair, her voice a bit raspy but not a hindrance, "I’m fine, just head back to the villa. Later, you can take me over there!"
"Ah, of course, madam!" The driver nodded immediately, starting the car and heading towards the villa.
Around eleven o’clock, Song Qiao asked the driver to bring her to CK Corporation.
Within the underground parking lot, still dressed in the clothes and shoes prepared by Lu Jingchen in the morning, Song Qiao held her phone in one hand, and casually closed the car door with the other, a faint smile on her face as she said to Ning Wan on the other end of the line, "How about we pick you up later and you can choose whatever you want to eat this time."
There was rustling on the other end of the phone, clearly Ning Wan was getting ready, her phone set to speaker laying on the bed. Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, she paused, then picked up a dress and walked over to the bedhead, saying, "No need for you guys to pick me up, it’s quite convenient to take a taxi at this time. Just text me where you decide to eat and I’ll just go there directly!"
Ning Wan knew that Song Qiao was at CK Corporation; from their district it would be at least half an hour’s drive, and CK Corporation was right in the bustling city center. Looking around, one could see numerous Eastern and Western restaurants—famed or not, tasty or otherwise, they had everything.
Later they could simply choose any restaurant there, and she would take a taxi straight to the place.
Believing that a man like Lu Jingchen wouldn’t choose an ordinary restaurant to dine in, Ning Wan naturally hoped to take advantage of the situation, preferably dining at the famous Mingdian Restaurant in An City.
