Chapter 384 Do you want your husband to stand up for you?
The following day, Minglou Group.
As lunchtime approached and Jiang Xing finished his morning work, he had just locked his laptop when he heard three perfectly timed knocks on the door.
"Jiang Lu, I need to speak with you." Assistant Gao's dignified manner suggested he had official business.
There was a moment of silence in the meeting room. The next second, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, chatting casually. One person asked, "What are you eating later?" Another said, "Your clothes are really nice. Where did you buy them?" It was obvious that they were just making conversation and pretending to be busy.
"..." Jiang Xing was silent for a second, pretending not to notice anything, and walked out.
"President Lou has prepared lunch, but I didn't say so earlier because I was afraid it would affect your work," Assistant Gao said in a low voice as he led Jiang Xing toward the elevator.
"Really?" Jiang Xing had a look on his face that said, 'Why are you all smart people pretending to be so arrogant?'
Given Gao Zhu's sneaky behavior just now, and considering the lingering, unspoken connection between Lou Qi and Jiang Xing that no one had clearly explained, even a fool wouldn't be able to guess what was going on!
If they hadn't noticed something fishy, the Minglou employees wouldn't have waited for her to leave first; not a single one of them has left the meeting room yet!
Gao Zhu gave a forced, embarrassed smile.
He did it on purpose.
—Boss Lou is not someone who is interested in secret relationships. Although he did not make the relationship public immediately out of consideration for Jiang Xing's feelings, a subordinate who can understand the emperor's heart should be able to 'understand what is right'!

The small dining room in the CEO's office.
Lou Qi had already taken his seat, leaving an empty seat for Jiang Xing. The table was set with five dishes and a soup, all Jiang Xing's favorite flavors, and a stylish bouquet of mixed-style flowers sat nearby.
This is definitely not the kind of setup a typical straight man like Lou Qi would have for lunch on a weekday; it's practically like they'd have the words "peacock spreading its tail" written on the front door.
"How was your work today?" Lou Qi stood up and pulled out a chair for Jiang Xing. As soon as Jiang Xing sat down, he couldn't help but kiss her on the lips.
The two had just reconciled. Lou Qi had simply been holding Jiang Xing while sleeping last night, but now he was really itching to do so.
They were chatting under the covers—who would believe it if I told the womanizing Mr. Lou?
Before he could even leave the restaurant, Gao Zhu quickened his pace and closed the door.
Jiang Xing was about to say "It's alright" out of habit, but realizing he was just being perfunctory, he changed his words: "Manager Pei from your Legal Department is a bit difficult to deal with."
The difficulty in dealing with legal matters indicates that this person has a solid foundation of knowledge and outstanding abilities.
Lou Qi laughed upon hearing this, and gave him a half-joking kiss: "Old Pei is quite capable. Why don't you come work for our company? I'll have him personally train you."
"Poaching Mr. Gu's girlfriend isn't a good idea."
Even when Jiang Xing makes a joke, he remains calm and collected, as if he were speaking seriously.
Lou Qi found her appearance adorable, and with his free left hand, he took Jiang Xing's hand and asked, "Do you want your husband to stand up for you?"
Jiang Xing looked at him and tilted her head.
Lou Qi readily changed her mind and asked, "Do you want your boyfriend to stand up for you?"
Jiang Xing didn't sign the property gift agreements last night, which was a silent answer and attitude—she had no plans to marry him yet.
It's okay if he doesn't have that plan right now. He's patient, so let's wait and see.
"No need." Jiang Xing shook her head. "I have no intention of being a femme fatale and letting you help our partners profit."
Lou Qi laughed out loud.
He himself found it hard to believe that he had actually considered acting like a tyrant and making concessions to Gu Yanci, just because he didn't want Jiang Xing to waste his energy arguing with his subordinate over such a trivial matter.
He changed his tune: "Indeed, Dr. Jiang was also protecting his own interests."
Jiang Xing didn't understand: "Huh?"
Lou Qi said, "It will protect your future interests, as long as you sign."
The gift agreement that Lou Qi gave to Jiang Xing included shares in the group. As long as Jiang Xing signs it, every extra penny the group earns now will be a share for Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing put down her chopsticks, looked at the man seriously, and after a few seconds asked, "Lou Qi, are you worried about something?"
