Mu Qing stood up and bowed to Shangguan Ning as he said in all seriousness, “Sister, I appreciate what you have done for me. I will always remember it. Just tell me if there is anything I can do for you and I will do it. Oh, yes, Master Jing will be cured very soon, and if he works a bit harder, you will soon get a little master, don’t worry.”
Oh, Doctor Mu! You did very well in the first part, but why did you add the second section? You just ruined your heroic image and are asking for a punch on your face.
Shangguan Ning blushed whilst Jing Yichen glared at him.
Mu Qing immediately understood that what he said was wrong. He put on a smiling face and said, “Have a nice trip back. I will be staying right here!”
Without saying anything, Jing Yichen went out with Shangguan Ning.
On the way back, Shangguan Ning asked worriedly, “Yichen, do you think that Anan will blame me for what I have done? She told me yesterday that I was not to leave her alone with Mu Qing but I did exactly that. What if… what if Mu Qing’s family doesn’t approve of their marriage?”
“I think you have done a great job. They had been troubling each other for more than ten years and didn’t achieve a breakthrough until yesterday! It was all because of your efforts. I had thought that it was impossible between them but it seems that you have managed to make it possible,” he said smilingly.
“They like each other but Anan is too stubborn. She thought that she would be dragging him down with her illness and has been pushing him away all this while. I think that they look cute with each other and Mu Qing would make her happy, as long as she manages to overcome her worries.”
Shangguan Ning felt a bit assured after being approved by Jing Yichen.
She hoped that she wasn’t making a mistake and wished that Zhao Anan could get the happiness she deserved.
There were many times when a man found it difficult to make a choice standing at a crossroad. All he needed was a person to give a little push so that he could make the right choice.
If Zhao Anan found it difficult to make a decision, then Shangguan Ning would help her make up her mind. She had a clearer head than Zhao Anan who was confused regarding what suited her best.
The couple went home, changed and then went to the Enterprise for work together.
Everyone was very busy at the company except for Jing Yiran who was wandering around. He was back to his old, charming self.
Shangguan Ning frowned but stopped thinking about him any more and started to deal with her work. Lu followed her around, making it impossible for Jing Yiran to enter the office and creating a peaceful environment for Ning to work in.
Jing Yichen publicized her appointment to the entire enterprise. She was now a Deputy President of the Enterprise, currently in charge of the Financial Department.
The entire enterprise was astonished by her appointment. Some even put forward their doubts regarding the same. But Shangguan Ning ignored them all. Since she already decided to accept the position, then she must give it her best and not be affected by others’ opinions.
She only hoped that she could grow rapidly enough to help Jing Yichen and contribute towards the business empire.
Jing Yichen stayed in the office for a short while before heading out for inspection of the projects.
In the afternoon, Lu drove Shangguan Ning to the residential site of the project as well. Jing Yichen wanted her to join him for a detailed inspection.
During the inspection, Lu and Tiger followed them closely. Tiger’s face was impassive, as usual. But behind that, he was extremely alert in his mind.
But Lu was a bit different today. She was not only clinging to Shangguan Ning and kept calling her sister but also was sporting an intense expression instead of her usual gullible one. Tiger noticed the unusualness although she tried to cover it up.
He looked at Lu in confusion and then asked kindly, “Are you sick, Lu? If you are, you can go home and take a rest. I can watch out for Master and Lady.
Tiger knew that Lee Duo and his men were trailing them in secret, and it wouldn’t matter if Lu was there or not.
Lu lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I am not sick.”
Although Tiger found Lu’s behaviour a bit strange, yet he didn’t think much about it. He didn’t know much about girls and couldn’t figure out why the outgoing Lu would be so silent today. But he didn’t say anything more when Lu refused to leave, because that was what he was like too – he would always stay by Jing Yichen’s side even when he was sick.
It was a deserted sewage-treatment plant located in the outskirts which they were visiting today. It was a large area with weeds growing around it. Jingsheng had decided to invest here and build a large-scaled shopping mall because soon this area would be developed by the city government soon and would grow rapidly post that. Jingsheng had decided to buy the area ahead of time because of the internal information which the company had received.
Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning looked around, holding the map and plans for reference. The person who was by their side and served as a guide was none other than the current Mayor of A City – Chu Zhong.
Chu Zhong was only 37 years old. The reason why he could become the mayor at this age was because he was an outstanding man – smart, calm, experienced and steady but the biggest reason was that Jing Yichen had supported him.
As Jing Yichen and his team walked ahead, Lu and Tiger continued to follow them cautiously.
A while later, Lu said to Tiger with a very low vice. “Watch out, someone has their eyes on us!”
Tiger was startled. He had not noticed anyone around.
The experienced Tiger stayed poised. There was no change in his facial expressions. He had heard what Lu said, but instead of looking around, he stayed still and observed the surroundings so as to avoid alerting the enemy.
Soon, he also noticed that someone seemed to be following them all the time.
Tiger broke into a cold sweat. There was an enemy around but he hadn’t noticed it until Lu pointed it out to him.
It seemed that Lu was much more alert and tuned in than him. He had been near the edge of death so many times, involved in deadly fight all through his life and spent a hellish decade with Jing Yichen abroad. That was why he was so skilled.
But what about Lu? No one could become so sharp without being exposed to deadly situation repeatedly!
Tiger hadn’t expected that this doll-looking Lu was actually a very fierce person. No wonder the Lord had made her the lady’s bodyguard!
