Chapter 49

Just two days after they confirmed their relationship, Zhou Qizheng had to go on a business trip.

On the weekend, he made an appointment with Lin Lin to go shopping one day, and stayed at home the rest of the time.

At 10 a.m. on Monday, Chenxin Design Office.

“Excuse me, who is Li Na?” 𝕎🅆🆆.𝕍𝓞🅳🆃𝙬1.𝙘🄲

A takeaway delivery boy, holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, stood at the entrance of the office and shouted.

Hearing the voice, everyone turned their eyes there.

Li Na happily walked towards the delivery boy who delivered the flowers.

“Hello, my name is Li Na.”

“Oh, please sign for it. These are flowers sent to you by Mr. Sun.”

Li Na took it with a smile: “Okay.”

After signing for the flowers, she walked back to the office holding the flowers. When she passed by Lu Xiaoqiao, she glanced at her.

When she saw Lu Xiaoqiao also staring at the flowers in her hand, she walked back to her workstation with satisfaction.

Colleagues all surrounded Li Na: “Li Na, are you in love, or are you pursuing someone?”

“Yes, tell me, when did it start?”

Sister Sun stood up at this time, and the whole person was radiant and full of smiles, as if there was a happy event.

“Okay, I’m telling you! This Li Na will call me sister from now on, and you are not allowed to bully her.”

After saying that, she walked to Li Na’s side, put her arm around her shoulders, and expressed how much she liked and satisfied this sister-in-law.

“Oh! Li Na turned out to be with Sister Sun’s younger brother? Then these two are really a perfect match, a match made in heaven.”

Colleagues all gave their blessings, and Li Na smiled happily and said thank you to everyone.

After watching this lively scene.

Before they all dispersed, Lin Lin couldn’t help but tag Lu Xiaoqiao in the small group of several people.

A group of beautiful women.

Lin Lin: [@Lu Xiaoqiao, what’s going on? Isn’t that Sun Han pursuing you? ]

Zhao Jia: [That’s right, I want to know too.]

After Zhao Jia finished speaking in the group, she sent a private message to Lu Xiaoqiao, asking her if Sun Han knew about her and Mr. Zhou.

Lu Xiaoqiao replied that only a few of them knew about it, and she didn’t tell anyone else.

Zhao Jia returned to the group.

Lu Xiaoqiao: [I didn’t talk to him, how can I stop him from pursuing others? I’m a bit too overbearing!]

Lin Lin: [Luckily you didn’t talk to him. He was still pursuing you last week, and this week he started talking to your sister. What kind of thing is this? /smile/]

Zhao Jia: [He was definitely pursuing you while still hanging on to Li Na, otherwise how could it be so fast? This kind of man is too low, fortunately he didn’t talk to her.]

Lu Xiaoqiao actually knew that Sun Han was pursuing her and flirting with Li Na at the same time.

If it were in the past, she would definitely tell Li Na about this.

But after the previous blind date, and the look Li Na gave her just now, which was full of boasting.

She dared to guarantee that as long as she opened her mouth, Li Na would definitely think that she was jealous and deliberately instigated to break up the two of them.

So, she should just shut up and mind her own business.

…

After work in the evening, Li Na had a date with Sun Han and did not go to her aunt’s house for dinner. Lu Xiaoqiao was still sensitive about the atmosphere of the last dinner, so she also found an excuse not to go.

Zhao Jia was taken by Zhao Zhizhi to have dinner with colleagues, and she was the only one who took the bus home.

As soon as she got home, she received a call from Zhou Qizhen.

“Hello!” Lu Xiaoqiao opened the phone and answered it.

“What are you doing?”

Lu Xiaoqiao had just climbed the fourth floor, her breath was a little hurried, and there was a slight wheeze in her voice.

“I just… finished… climbing… the stairs, I’m so tired.”

Zhou Qizhen chuckled: “You’re out of breath like this after climbing four floors, don’t you usually exercise?”

Lu Xiaoqiao slumped on the sofa and waited until her breath stabilized before speaking.

“I wore too much today, and it was hard to go upstairs.”

He made excuses for himself, but didn’t mention exercise.

“Is it very cold in Hangzhou these two days?”

“Yes, it has cooled down, but the weather forecast says it will warm up on Friday. Which day will you be back?”

Zhou Qi was a little happy when he heard Lu Xiaoqiao ask about his schedule. He thought about his next work schedule. Normally, he would not be able to return until next week at the earliest. But he and his girlfriend had just confirmed their relationship when they were forced to separate. The time they had been apart was longer than the time they had been together. For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable. 🆆𝙬🆆.𝓥🅾𝓓🆃🆆1.ℂℂ

“I’ll try to be back this Friday, okay? Is there anywhere you want to go during the two-day weekend?”

“Sure! But your work is important, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a little late. If you can make it back, let’s go to the movies. There’s a very popular movie that’s just been released recently.”

Zhou Qizhen felt a little sad when he heard her say it didn’t matter if he was a little late, and he wanted to finish this trip even more quickly.

He was afraid that if the time was too long, the girl would even forget what he looked like, and then she would pay even less attention to him.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

As soon as he put down the phone, Zhou Qizhen called Li Yuxuan and Secretary Ding who came with him this time.

Li Yuxuan was shocked after hearing what Zhou Qizhen said.

“What? You’re going back home on Friday? Why? There are still several clients that I haven’t met yet. What will you do when you go back?”

Zhou Qizhen raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuxuan who was shouting: “Aren’t you still here?”

Li Yuxuan saw Secretary Ding lowering his head and not speaking. He was not surprised at his boss’s crazy behavior.

Puzzled, “Is there something urgent in the country?”

Zhou Qizhen thought for a moment and replied, “My personal matter.”

Li Yuxuan said in disbelief, “Damn! Don’t tell me you’re in a hurry to go back just to fall in love.”

Zhou Qizhen remained calm.

“Anyway, I have to go back on Friday. All the important clients are scheduled for the next three days. You’ll be late for one day, and Secretary Ding will finish the rest before returning home.”

Li Yuxuan saw that he looked serious and was not joking at all, so he couldn’t help but mock him.

“Tsk! No, what can I say about you, Old Zhou! You’re a little love-brained!”

Zhou Qizheng ignored his ridicule.

He lowered his head, picked up the documents and started working. He looked like he wanted to work two more nights so that he could go back on Thursday.

After three days of hard work,

Zhou Qizheng finally boarded a flight back to China on Friday.

It was already nine o’clock in the evening when he arrived in Hangzhou and the plane landed.

The driver who went to pick him up was “forced” to get off work at the airport.

Zhou Qizheng drove to the downstairs of Lu Xiaoqiao’s building. He looked at the time and it was already half past ten.

Not sure if she had slept, he sent her a WeChat message.

Z: [Are you asleep?]

Qiao Qiao: [Not yet.]

Afraid that Zhou Qizheng would say she slept too late, she quickly replied.

Qiao Qiao: [It’s almost time to go to bed too. I went to bed early today. They said it would be warmer today, but I still feel quite cold.]

Zhou Qizheng felt a little disappointed when he saw her reply.

It seems that he won’t be able to see her today.

It’s cold and she’s afraid of the cold. If he asked her to come down at this moment.

He couldn’t bear to leave.

But… it would be good to listen to the voice.

The call was dialed, and after only one ring, Lu Xiaoqiao picked up.

“Hello! Why are you calling? Are you the only one in the office?”

Maybe because he was lying down, his voice was a little soft.

Zhou Qizheng leaned against the car body, looked up at the window on the fourth floor, and whispered: “I’m back home, just got off the plane.”
