Chapter 260: Chapter 150: Xia Shiqing Tears Apart a Female Executive, Fiercely Protecting Her Husband

’She probably won’t be able to keep up that tough act for long.’

"She’s not here yet?"

He scanned the area but didn’t see the familiar, wicked-looking "big mouse," so he got in his car and sent her a WeChat message.

Several minutes passed, and she still hadn’t replied.

He was about to start the car and leave when he saw another familiar vehicle pull into the parking garage. It even parked in the spot directly across from him.

"Well, isn’t this a coincidence?"

Chen Mo smiled when he saw the familiar car.

He opened his door and walked straight over.

"I’m so jealous of our boss. Her boyfriend dropped her off at work again."

Just as Chen Mo walked over, the driver’s side window slowly rolled down, revealing Pan Kejia’s charming face and her tart words.

"Aren’t you here too? So it’s like I dropped both of you off at work."

Chen Mo reached through the window and pinched her fair, smooth cheek.

"Huh? Looks like your foundation is a bit cakey right here."

Chen Mo said in surprise, as if he’d just noticed something.

"What?! Where?!"

Hearing this, Pan Kejia couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. Forgetting all about being jealous of Xia Shiqing, she quickly flipped down the driver’s side vanity mirror and began to search her face meticulously.

But after checking several times, she couldn’t find any cakey spots.

"Just kidding."

Chen Mo smiled and tapped her cute, upturned nose with his finger.

"Chen Mo!"

Hearing his words, Pan Kejia shot him an exasperated glare and, grabbing his hand, bit down on it.

"Are you part puppy or something? Come to the back seat."

Chen Mo pulled back his left hand—the one he’d used to tap her nose—and saw a shallow, surprisingly neat set of teeth marks.

He opened the rear door and slid right in.

After muttering a few things under her breath, Pan Kejia also moved to the back seat.

’She knew Chen Mo was bringing her to the back seat to ’discuss import investments’ again.’

’But what could she do about it?’

’If Chen Mo wanted to ’invest’ in her, could she really refuse?’

"I’m going to be opening a venture capital firm next, for risk-based investing."

"The risks for our ’import investments’ here are pretty high, so let’s just consider this a practice run."

A slight smile played on Chen Mo’s lips as he spoke with clear insinuation.

’Discussing "investments" in a busy underground parking garage was indeed very risky.’

"You think?"

Pan Kejia leaned against Chen Mo voluntarily, giving him a plaintive look.

To make it more convenient to discuss these ’investments’ with Chen Mo, she had even specially tinted the rear windows with a privacy film.

"By the way, you mentioned you went on a blind date last time..."

Pan Kejia suddenly remembered something. Last Saturday, Chen Mo had left her alone at the hotel to go on a blind date.

She looked at Chen Mo, both curious and nervous, unable to stop herself from asking.

’What if it actually worked out and he married another woman? What would she do then?’

"It fell through."

Chen Mo patted her head and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Pan Kejia let out a sigh of relief.

’It’s a good thing it fell through.’

Now that she heard Chen Mo’s blind date had fallen through, she felt that him wanting to discuss ’import investments’ with her wasn’t really a problem anymore.

...

VROOM~

She watched as Chen Mo drove out of the parking garage.

Pan Kejia took a sip of water as she walked toward the elevators.

Just as the elevator doors were slowly closing, a hand suddenly shot in from the outside, causing them to open again.

"Xiaoxiao? You’re a little late today."

Seeing who entered the elevator, Pan Kejia smiled and greeted her.

"So are you."

Zheng Xiaoxiao pressed the button for their floor and said meaningfully.

"I... I got stuck in traffic today, so I’m a little late."

Pan Kejia turned her head away and offered a casual explanation.

She actually hadn’t been late, but Chen Mo had insisted on ’discussing import investments’ with her.

And once they started, they couldn’t stop. He kept ’instilling’ her with all sorts of investment concepts and projects.

By the time they finished ’talking,’ it was already this late, and now she was about to be tardy.

"Mm, traffic was pretty bad today."

Zheng Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and nodded.

In truth, she had arrived much earlier. She’d just been sitting in her own car, waiting, ever since she saw Chen Mo get into Pan Kejia’s.

Only after Chen Mo had left and Pan Kejia was heading upstairs did she get out and hurry to the elevator.

As for whether Chen Mo and Pan Kejia were ’discussing investments’ or ’rehearsing a script’ in the car, she didn’t even have to think about it.

But she’d already suspected something was going on between Chen Mo and Pan Kejia. Today was just firsthand confirmation, solid proof.

But she was just an onlooker enjoying the drama and gossip; she had no intention of using this information for anything.

She had no plans to spread it around or tell anyone.

She wasn’t that bored.

However, seeing Pan Kejia chugging water after getting out of the car, she seemed to understand something.

’They’re really getting creative.’

The two chatted as the elevator took them up to the office.

「Meanwhile, in the office.」

Xia Shiqing was walking toward the breakroom, coffee mug in hand.

"Morning, Minister Xia."

An employee greeted her along the way.

"Morning."

Xia Shiqing smiled slightly and nodded back.

Watching Xia Shiqing’s graceful figure walk away, the employees exchanged glances.

"Looks like Minister Xia is in a great mood today. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen her smile when saying hello."

One employee was quite surprised. ’What’s the happy occasion? She seems to be in such a good mood.’

"You don’t get it, do you? Her boyfriend dropped her off today. I just saw them kissing goodbye in the garage. That means they spent last night together. Of course she’s in a good mood, right?" said one person who had seen Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing’s farewell kiss.

Hearing this, the others’ faces lit up with understanding.

’No wonder Minister Xia is in such a good mood.’

’But you can really tell Minister Xia likes Chen Mo. The change in her mood is just too obvious.’
