Chapter 55

Zhou Qizheng stared at her and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

Lu Xiaoqiao saw that he was really going to do it. She stepped back in fear.

She covered her eyes with her hands: “No need to take it off, eight, eight yuan, eight yuan.” 𝕎𝓦𝙬.𝙑𝕆🅳🆃𝓦1.🄲🅲

“It’s too late!” Zhou Qizheng started to scare her, paused for two seconds, and slowly added: “You must watch it today.”

He raised his hand to remove Lu Xiaoqiao’s hand covering her eyes, and before she could scream, he sealed her mouth with his lips, drowning all her panic and screams in this affectionate and domineering kiss…until she was breathless, then he let go.

He pecked her a few times and pulled her into his arms again.

“Are you still watching the movie?”

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head.

No, she will never come to his house to watch movies again. This is not watching a movie! If things keep going like this, it will almost be a porn movie!

Touching her lips that were a little painful and numb, Lu Xiaoqiao complained in a delicate voice: “My mouth hurts so much!”

Seeing her obviously swollen lips, Zhou Qizheng hugged her at a loss, resting his chin on the top of her head, and coaxed her softly: “I’m sorry, I’ll be gentler next time, okay?”

“Don’t kiss me again today, otherwise others will be able to see it!”

Hearing her say that she was not allowed to kiss again today, Zhou Qizheng was a little disappointed and replied dryly “Yeah.”

In the evening, the two heated up the leftovers from lunch, and after dinner, Lu Xiaoqiao asked Zhou Qizheng to take her home.

“Tomorrow is Monday, it’s too late and I’m afraid I won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, wait for me.” Zhou Qizheng said and turned into the cloakroom.

When he came out, he was holding a jewelry box in his hand.

“I saw it when I was on a business trip a few days ago. I bought it because I thought it suited you! Do you like it?”

Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t expect that he would bring her a gift after a business trip. Seeing the logo on the box, she was silent for a moment. Lin Lin had said before that the price would not be cheap.

“I am very happy that you brought me a gift, but… if it is too expensive, I will feel pressured.”

Zhou Qizhen opened the box and looked up at her: “I understand, don’t worry, I deliberately chose a low-priced one, just a bracelet.”

He took out the bracelet, which was a platinum bracelet with a butterfly shape. The lifelike butterfly and the entire chain were inlaid with dazzling diamonds.

Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised and said: “Are you sure it’s not expensive? It’s all diamonds.”

Zhou Qizhen said with a smile: “I’m sure it’s not expensive. These are broken diamonds. They are not valuable. Stretch out your hand and I’ll put it on you.”

Lu Xiaoqiao hesitated, but still stretched out her hand.

After Zhou Qizhen lowered his head to fasten the buckle for her, he held her hand and admired it: “It looks good, it suits you very well.”

Lu Xiaoqiao also raised her hand to take a look, it was indeed very beautiful.

“Thank you! I like it very much.”

Zhou Qizhen touched her head: “As long as you like it.”

…

The next day.

Everyone came out of the conference room after the morning meeting.

Zheng Yan did not go back to the office directly as usual, but stood in the design department to chat with everyone.

Colleagues all asked Li Na when they could drink her and Sun Han’s wedding wine.

Since Li Na fell in love, her face was full of smiles every day.

Now she talked to everyone about where they went to play on the weekend.

“Yesterday, my brother, Zheng Yan and I went shopping and had dinner together.”

A female colleague said, “They’re meeting their families now! It looks like the wedding will be real soon!”

Li Na smiled and said, “This year during the Chinese New Year, Sun Han will go home with me to celebrate the New Year and meet my parents.”

Everyone knows that Sun Han’s parents passed away a long time ago, and he grew up with Sister Sun, so there was no objection to him going home with Li Na to celebrate the New Year.

“After meeting the parents, did you discuss marriage?”

Afraid that someone would say that the two of them were getting along too fast, Sister Sun quickly took over the conversation and said, “Of course! If you count it all, they have known each other for quite some time. I’ll invite you to the wedding! I’m not praising my brother, but recently their company is preparing for the year-end performance review, so they are quite busy. Yesterday, I went shopping and bought Li Na a bracelet for more than 30,000 yuan.”

“Oh my God! It’s so expensive? What kind? Let us see it.” 🅆𝕎𝙒.𝕍𝕆🅳𝙏🅆1.🄲🄲Li

Na stretched out her hand to show everyone her bracelet.

“Oh my God, this brand, no wonder it’s so expensive.”

“Sister Sun’s brother also earns a lot and the company treats him well.”

Li Na looked at everyone’s surprised and envious expressions with satisfaction. She wanted to see what Lu Xiaoqiao’s reaction was, and happened to see her walking over from the front desk with a courier.

Lu Xiaoqiao heard them discussing Li Na’s bracelet from a distance.

When she passed by, she glanced at it. She was stunned.

It was the same style as the one Zhou Qizhen gave her last night, except that the one on her hand was full of diamonds, while the one on Li Na’s hand was an ordinary basic style.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t want to cause such controversy, so she quietly shrunk the hand wearing the bracelet into her sleeve, but the sharp-eyed Zheng Yan still saw it.

“Wait a minute, Lu Xiaoqiao, why do you also have a butterfly bracelet on your hand? Take it out and let everyone see it.”

After saying that, she forcibly pulled Lu Xiaoqiao’s hand wearing the bracelet over so that everyone could see it more clearly.

Female colleague: “It’s full of diamonds! Xiaoqiao, where did you get this?”

Zheng Yan laughed.

“Sister Na’s basic model costs more than 30,000 yuan. Do you know how much this full diamond model costs? Ha! Why buy a fake one instead of a more realistic one?”

The female colleague said awkwardly, “Ah? It’s fake! The diamonds look quite real.”

Zheng Yan laughed sarcastically, “Of course it’s fake. It really costs more than 700,000 yuan! What can she buy it with? Moreover, when I accompanied Sister Na to buy it yesterday, I only saw the full diamond model in the product catalog. The salesgirl said that it is not available in China at all.”

Li Na glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao’s bracelet, “It’s really unlucky. She insisted on buying a fake one to annoy people when people bought a bracelet.”

Lu Xiaoqiao ignored the different looks from several people, some mocking, some sarcastic, and some sympathetic.

After pulling his hand back, he walked to his workstation and sat down, and then he was a little dazed.

Yesterday, I asked him if it was expensive, and he assured me that it was not expensive. More than 700,000 yuan is not expensive?

Yes, in terms of their consumption concept, not expensive and ‘not expensive’ are two extremes. A lighter costing more than 200,000 yuan, you asked him to say that more than 700,000 yuan is expensive, it is indeed a bit difficult for him.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao did not say anything for a long time, Lin Lin thought that what those people said just now was too unpleasant and made her uncomfortable. She moved closer to her and whispered to comfort her: “Xiaoqiao, don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s fake, so what, as long as it looks good! Where did you buy it? Buy me one tomorrow, we will wear it together and make her angry to death.”

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

“Just, I bought it at the night market! This is the only one left when I bought it!”

“Ah! What a pity, I really like it.”

The more the little sister said, the guiltier she felt. In the end, she just lowered her head and pretended to be busy to cover it up.

Just now, she signed for the fabric samples that the fabric factory re-mailed at the front desk.

Things have been delayed for so long, Lu Xiaoqiao is not sure, and she was relieved after contacting Shu Mei, who was introduced by Tang Qian that day.

After finishing the work at hand, she hurried to the other party’s company and sent the sample fabric over.

After the other party was satisfied, Lu Xiaoqiao hurried back to the company to sort out the contract. Shu Mei said that she would inform her of the time and place to sign the contract tomorrow.
