Chapter 263: She Forgot About That Unlucky Guy Han Qi

“Cough…”

Gao Zhe choked on the soup, barely able to swallow it down, and covered his mouth to cough loudly twice.

Jiang Yu glared, “What’s the rush?

No one’s competing with you.”

Gao Zhe: “…”

Who the hell likes to drink this stuff!

He often felt out of place with them because he wasn’t twisted enough.

“Competing for what, Ah Zhe, what are you drinking?”

Lu Zhenzhen came over, arm in arm with Nan Jiaojiao, lifted the pot’s lid to peek inside the soup.

Gao Zhe couldn’t stop her, and suddenly met Lu Zhenzhen’s bizarre expression.

Her gaze swept over him from head to toe, then slowly turned sorrowful, then contemplative, before becoming one of pity.

She solemnly replaced the cover, “So it’s all like this now, huh?

No wonder you can only satisfy me.

You must have had a hard time fooling around with different people over the years, probably struggling, right?”

“Lu Zhenzhen!”

What was up with her tone!

“Really?”

Jiang Yu also looked at him sympathetically, “Then drink more, replenish yourself.

You are so young, what’s with this deficiency?”

Even Nan Jiaojiao looked at him with the same expression.

Gao Zhe felt his forehead throbbing, his frown so deep it hurt.

It wasn’t what they were thinking, but under their scrutinizing gaze, he couldn’t help feeling the embarrassment of having his private shames exposed.

He grabbed Lu Zhenzhen and made her sit down next to him, warning through gritted teeth, “Eat your food!”

“Oh, oh.”

Lu Zhenzhen complied, picking up her chopsticks.

After a moment of thought, she silently pushed the soup towards him, placing it right under his eyes, then looked up at him with a big grin, smiling like a fawning dog!

The women in this room were all fierce and aggressive; if he stayed much longer, he’d be utterly drained.

So he slipped out right after lunch.

Lu Zhenzhen didn’t leave, chatting with Nan Jiaojiao.

Not sure what was said to trigger her, she suddenly slapped her thigh, “Crap!”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “What’s wrong?”

She had forgotten about the unfortunate Han Qi!

“No, nothing.

I just remembered I have some things to take care of.

I’ll be back before dinner.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, and before she could even utter a “sure,” Lu Zhenzhen picked up her bag and walked out in a fluster, her phone already against her ear before even stepping out of the main hall.

She was secretive and panicky, uncharacteristically unsure of herself.

As Lu Zhenzhen drove out of the gate, she just missed another car passing by.

Bian Xiaoxiao glanced out of the window and recognized only a luxury car, unable to see who was inside.

In her memory, the chief executive hardly ever mingled with outsiders; it was her first time seeing that car.

Bian Xiaoxiao didn’t take it to heart.

As she retracted her gaze, she looked at the person in the back seat, “Speak less when we get inside, and listen to me.

If the chief executive asks you anything, be smart, understand?”

“I…

I understand.”

Ye Shiqing nervously twirled her fingers, her breathing remained subdued, as if a heavy stone weighed on her chest.

Shen Shichu held her hand and squeezed it in the palm of his, whispering with warmth, “Don’t be nervous, I’m here with you.”

Ye Shiqing was touched and blushed even redder, “Thank you, Brother Chu.

I won’t embarrass you.”

“Good girl.” Shen Shichu’s eyes were deep, his lips always curved into a gentle smile.

The cold wind blew in through the window, catching a few strands of Ye Shiqing’s hair as she spoke.

He personally straightened them out for her, tucking them behind her ear.

Ye Shiqing felt overwhelmed with emotion.

It had been so long since she’d felt his caring touch.

The chief executive be damned; she didn’t want to meet anymore.

She wanted to take him home and cherish their moments together.
