Chapter 385 Does Lou Qi Want to Have a Secret Relationship?

Lou Qi unconsciously suppressed the carefree smile on his face.

What are you worried about? It would be too embarrassing to say it out loud.

But Jiang Xing looked at him with gentle and firm eyes. How could someone with such a cold and aloof face have such gentle eyes? How could someone speak so patiently?

Lou Qi, almost as if bewitched, slowly opened his mouth: "I..."

Jiang Xing spoke at the same time, but faster than him: "Are you worried that I'm just acting on a whim?"

Lou Qi knew Jiang Xing was smart, but she was just too smart and insightful.

“Ah Xing, defying fate is a personal ability, but that is on the premise that you acknowledge this ability to defy fate.”

The fortune slip he drew that day was at his insistence. Everyone knows that.

“I’m not questioning your sincerity,” he said. “I’m questioning my luck.”

……

After lunch, Jiang Xing stayed in the president's office for a nap.

"Are there any good snacks near your company?" Jiang Xing, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly looked up and asked.

"What would you like to eat? Let Gao Zhu arrange it." This means there's no need to worry about distance.

If you want to eat something from the neighboring province, you can have it delivered by high-speed rail.

Jiang Xing opened the food delivery app on his phone and said while browsing, "My work on this project is almost finished. I can do the desk work at my own company starting next week, so I plan to treat my project team to afternoon tea today."

Lou Qi almost couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks when he heard the phrase "his own company".

What do you mean "her own company"? That's Gu Yanci's company! Only his Minglou can be considered her company, okay?

Forget it, shut up!

This is just the beginning, don't be impatient!

But the thought that Jiang Xing wouldn't be coming here starting next week, and that they'd only just reconciled but wouldn't be able to see each other at work every day or have lunch together, made Lou Qi want to talk again.

He said, "...I'll have Assistant Gao make the arrangements."

Jiang Xing nodded and accepted the offer.

He felt insecure.

Then she can give it a try.

-

Today's work was relatively easy. At 4 PM, the important work came to an end, and the project manager announced a 20-minute break.

Jiang Xing came out of the conference room and pushed in a small table full of afternoon tea.

"Thank you all for your guidance and care during this time. It's been a pleasure meeting you all," Jiang Xing said simply, before distributing the desserts among everyone.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised:

"I've been craving this dessert for so long, but they don't offer delivery. I'm so happy that I can eat it on a weekday!"

"Jiang Lu, did you go buy this at noon? You must have gone to so much trouble!"

Jiang Xing handed a pudding to the other person and said, "It was Gao Zhu who helped arrange it; he worked quite hard."

Gao Zhu, who was pretending to be passing by, widened his eyes upon hearing this and couldn't help but peek inside.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became incredibly strange at that moment.

A group of shrewd individuals exchanged bewildered glances, having unexpectedly stumbled upon gossip they shouldn't have known. A fierce battle raged between their urge to scream and their rationality of not wanting to lose their jobs, leaving them unsure how to react.

If she can directly order around President Lou's personal assistant, then her relationship with President Lou is obvious, isn't it?

Is this... his official girlfriend or his mistress?

Only Jiang Xing, the person directly involved, remained very calm. She even asked Assistant Gao, "Is there a problem with what I said?"

The usually shrewd Gao Zhu mechanically shook his head: "No, no problem—I'm not, it's not hard work, it's my job."

It's my duty!

Everyone screamed inwardly.

Jiang Xing smiled and told everyone to make themselves at home before seeing Gao Zhu off.

Walk out of the conference room.

Assistant Gao tentatively asked, "Ms. Jiang, if you say that... then everyone knows about your relationship with President Lou, right?"

What was initially just speculation has now been confirmed.

Jiang Xing asked in confusion, "Does Lou Qi want to keep their relationship secret?"

Gao Zhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frantically, followed by ecstasy.

He felt that his year-end bonus was going to double!
