Lin Zhen took the hint and stood up. “Shuyi, I’m tired. Let’s go back and rest. We shouldn’t disturb them further.”
“Okay, then we'll be going first.” Before he left Chen Shuyi appeared to have thought of something. He turned to Lu Lixing. “I’ve already handled the rumors regarding Ji Qingqing. Don’t worry. But next time remember to call Vice President Zhou instead. Don’t call me for trivial matters like this.”
Lu Lixing: “...”
After seeing them off, the room became quiet.
Ji Qingqjng’s brow furrowed. “Mr. Lu, do you have any idea why Director Wang changed the filming duration from three days to five days?”
“How should I know?”
“But earlier didn’t President Chen mention it? That you and Director Wang had a deal so he changed the filming duration from three days to five days.”
“There’s no such thing. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
Lu Lixing loosened his tie and strode back to his room in large steps.
Although he had gotten used to seeing a large number of large-scale events, when faced with Ji Qingqing’s questioning, he still became awkward to the point that he couldn’t challenge her words.
Ji Qingqing followed behind him and muttered to herself, “You secretly participated in this program without informing me, and you even made the director change the duration from three days to five days…”
Lu Lixing remained adamant. “Didn’t I clarify it earlier? Director Wang couldn’t possibly have changed the whole program’s schedule because of me alone. He has his own intentions.”
Ji Qingqing narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure? Could it be that you felt that the three days were too short so you…”
“And so?” Lu Lixing interrupted her, “Stop thinking nonsense. There is a lot to do at the company. I would very much prefer for the duration to be as short as possible.”
Ji Qingqing mused, “But Grandpa already told me previously that the company’s situation is stable and that there wasn’t anything that necessarily required your presence. He also added that if there’s a chance, I should go on a vacation together with you.”
Lu Lixing tried to maintain his composed front. He nonchalantly glanced at her. “Aren’t you tired? Go quickly to your room and rest.”
“We chatted for a while earlier so I don’t feel tired now. Ah right, I think I remember President Chen saying that you also personally instructed him to handle my rumors…” She looked at Lu Lixing with interest. “President Lu, regarding this kind of matter, you don’t have to trouble yourself with it. My company has set up a team for me and they will be handling my rumors.”
Lu Lixing stood at the same spot and listened to Ji Qingqing's little mouth run on continuously. Suddenly, he laughed.
In the past, how did he not realize that Ji Qingqing could talk so glibly?
He took a step forward and cupped her chin, lifting it slightly. Then he leaned forward and suddenly kissed her lips like he knew his way around.
Their lips collided and the warmth spread between their lips. Ji Qingqing’s eyes widened uncontrollably and her pupils constricted. She subconsciously held her breath.
The fleeting kiss parted quickly.
Ji Qingqing remained rooted to the spot, stunned. A visible red blush spread across her face.
