Lin Zhen took the hint and stood up. Shuyi, Im tired. Lets go back and rest. We shouldnt disturb them further.

Okay, then well be going first. Before he left Chen Shuyi appeared to have thought of something. He turned to Lu Lixing. Ive already handled the rumors regarding Ji Qingqing. Dont worry. But next time remember to call Vice President Zhou instead. Dont call me for trivial matters like this.

Lu Lixing:

After seeing them off, the room became quiet.

Ji Qingqjngs brow furrowed. Mr. Lu, do you have any idea why Director Wang changed the filming duration from three days to five days?

How should I know?

But earlier didnt President Chen mention it? That you and Director Wang had a deal so he changed the filming duration from three days to five days.

Theres no such thing. Dont listen to his nonsense.

Lu Lixing loosened his tie and strode back to his room in large steps.

Although he had gotten used to seeing a large number of large-scale events, when faced with Ji Qingqings questioning, he still became awkward to the point that he couldnt challenge her words.

Ji Qingqing followed behind him and muttered to herself, You secretly participated in this program without informing me, and you even made the director change the duration from three days to five days

Lu Lixing remained adamant. Didnt I clarify it earlier? Director Wang couldnt possibly have changed the whole programs schedule because of me alone. He has his own intentions.

Ji Qingqing narrowed her eyes. Are you sure? Could it be that you felt that the three days were too short so you

And so? Lu Lixing interrupted her, Stop thinking nonsense. There is a lot to do at the company. I would very much prefer for the duration to be as short as possible.

Ji Qingqing mused, But Grandpa already told me previously that the companys situation is stable and that there wasnt anything that necessarily required your presence. He also added that if theres a chance, I should go on a vacation together with you.

Lu Lixing tried to maintain his composed front. He nonchalantly glanced at her. Arent you tired? Go quickly to your room and rest.

We chatted for a while earlier so I dont feel tired now. Ah right, I think I remember President Chen saying that you also personally instructed him to handle my rumors She looked at Lu Lixing with interest. President Lu, regarding this kind of matter, you dont have to trouble yourself with it. My company has set up a team for me and they will be handling my rumors.

Lu Lixing stood at the same spot and listened to Ji Qingqings little mouth run on continuously. Suddenly, he laughed.

In the past, how did he not realize that Ji Qingqing could talk so glibly?

He took a step forward and cupped her chin, lifting it slightly. Then he leaned forward and suddenly kissed her lips like he knew his way around.

Their lips collided and the warmth spread between their lips. Ji Qingqings eyes widened uncontrollably and her pupils constricted. She subconsciously held her breath.

The fleeting kiss parted quickly.

Ji Qingqing remained rooted to the spot, stunned. A visible red blush spread across her face.

Are you still gonna talk? The depths of Li Lixings eyes twinkled with laughter.

Lu Lixing, you

Lu Lixing bent his head and kissed her again, preventing the words from escaping her mouth.

Ji Qingqing shoved him away and retreated back a couple of steps. She covered her mouth and looked at him dumbfounded. You you hooligan!!

Lu Lixing walked towards her and lifted her. Ji Qingqing gasped and instinctively held onto Lu Lixings neck. As her stunned gaze shifted to him, a kiss landed on her lips again.

Are you still gonna talk?

A person who understands the situation well is a capable person.

Ji Qingqing bit her lips. She shut her mouth and remained silent as she glared at him.

Lu Lixing carried her across the living room and brought her back to her room. He placed her on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. Have a good rest!

Then he immediately turned and left the room quickly. Having closed the door, he let out a deep breath, feeling relieved that he successfully avoided the disaster this time.

As the sound of the door closing sounded beside her ears, Ji Qingqing pulled the blanket over her head.

Shameless! Too shameless!

Lu Lixing, this guy is lightly pecking her?

To think that he would actually use this method to keep her mouth shut! If it wasnt for their difference in strength, she would have definitely made him utterly embarrassed by her words.

Just you wait! I will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate back!
