Lu Jinshen nodded, obviously agreeing with what Baishao said.
Baishao hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Boss, are you really going to marry Secretary Tong's daughter?"
"Yeah," Lu Jinshen replied.
"You …" Baishao paused for a moment before asking, "Do you love her?"
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly. Love? He had never thought of this word before, but he had already done it with Tong Qiao, so he naturally had to be responsible for her. Moreover, he felt that it was very relaxing to be with Tong Qiao. She was straightforward and brave, and she was not pretentious. If she liked someone, she liked him. If she didn't, she didn't.
If she liked him, she could have slept with him the first time they met. If she didn't like him, even if he was the only successor of the Lu Corporation and the chief of the army, she would still find ways to reject him.
He was unconsciously attracted to such a special girl.
"Women are troublesome. Why are you asking about this?" Ji Ji pulled Baishao's arm and walked out. "When have you seen Boss so concerned about a woman? Let's just wait for the wedding banquet. "
After Baishao and Ji Ji left, Lu Jinshen pinched his forehead and pondered. What does Tong Qiao need the most? Suddenly, he thought of something. He got up and left the office with his car keys.
…
It was Tong Qiao's birthday. Tong Wenbin suggested that the family go out for dinner to celebrate, but Tong Qiao didn't agree. She said that it was not hygienic to eat out and that it would be better to let the nanny prepare a good meal at home.
Tong Wenbin bought a big cake for Tong Qiao after work.
The family happily blew out the candles, made a wish, and had dinner. Tong Qiao rejected all her friends' invitations. She was pregnant and couldn't drink or go to nightclubs.
Tong Wenbin said that Tong Qiao had grown up and was sensible.
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa and watched TV. Tong Qiao received a call from Lu Jinshen. "Come out. I'm at your door."
"Chief Lu, why are you looking for me so late at night?" Tong Qiao wasn't willing to see him.
"Come out."
Beep, beep, beep …
Tong Qiao pursed her lips. What kind of person was he? Did he have to be so overbearing?
"Chief is looking for you?" Xia Daiyun asked Tong Qiao.
"Okay," Tong Qiao replied as she got up.
Tong Wenbin watched his daughter go out, and his eyebrows curved. "I couldn't cancel the marriage, and I felt guilty towards Qiao 'er. Now that I see her getting along so well with the chief, I feel much more relieved."
Xia Daiyun sighed softly. "I always feel that our Qiao 'er is at a disadvantage. A virgin girl marrying a divorced man with a child, I just don't feel right."
Tong Wenbin said, "Chief is a good person. He's a reliable man. I've worked under him for so many years. I won't be wrong. You also know Qiao 'er's character. She's very carefree. When she was young, other girls would sign up for interest classes in dance or painting, but she insisted on signing up for Taekwondo. She's always shouting and fighting all day long. How is she like a girl? Didn't you always say that you were afraid that no man would dare to want her? "
Xia Daiyun glared at Tong Wenbin. "I was just saying it casually. Why did you take it seriously? Besides, how can you talk about your own child like that? In your heart, is Qiao 'er not good enough for a divorced man? "
Tong Wenbin laughed. "Aren't I just comforting you? In my eyes, no one is good enough for Qiao 'er. "
Xia Daiyun pursed her lips and smiled. "That's more like it."
"But then again, although the chief is married for the second time, isn't there a saying that a married man knows how to manage a marriage better? Maybe he'll dote on Qiao 'er more in the future? "
"Since things have come to this, I hope so."
Tong Qiao walked out of the villa and saw Lu Jinshen leaning against the car and smoking from afar. The dim yellow light from the street lamps shone down from above, seemingly covering him with a layer of golden light. He had one hand in his uniform pocket, and the other hand was holding a flickering cigarette and bringing it to his thin lips. Such a tall and slender figure reminded Tong Qiao of the man she had spent the night with that night.
But very quickly, she tossed this thought aside. The man she liked had an impenetrable body and a domineering and cold personality. Although he didn't have any protective feelings for the fairer sex the first time and left marks all over her body, she liked such an unyielding man.
Men should be as brave and invincible in bed as they were on the battlefield.
Although Lu Jinshen was also a soldier, he was a far cry from the woman of his dreams.
Tong Qiao came in front of Lu Jinshen and asked with a smile, "Chief Lu, why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?" Lu Jinshen bit on the cigarette and looked at Tong Qiao with raised eyebrows.
"Yes, you can look for me anytime you want. I'm just afraid that you'll be too tired from dealing with so many affairs in the day and will disturb your rest at night." Tong Qiao realized that her ability to fool Lu Jinshen was getting better and better. She could come up with lies without needing to draft them. Indeed, practice makes perfect.
Lu Jinshen seemed to be used to Tong Qiao saying things that didn't match her heart. He ignored her and turned to lean into the car window. He took out a package from the car seat and handed it to Tong Qiao. "This is for you."
"A birthday present?" Tong Qiao asked casually.
She didn't expect Lu Jinshen to agree.
Tong Qiao was flattered. "What is it?"
Lu Jinshen pressed down on Tong Qiao's hand that was about to open the gift box. "Take a look at it when we get back. There's a manual inside on how to use it."
"Okay." Tong Qiao held the gift box in her hand. "Thank you for the trouble."
Lu Jinshen nodded. He recalled how Uncle Xu teased him when he was making these things and felt a little awkward. "Take it on time. If it's effective, I'll make more for you."
Tong Qiao nodded. She was even more curious about the gift in her hand. If she took it on time, it should be edible. Could it be something that could whiten her skin and nourish her skin?
"Go in. I'm leaving." Lu Jinshen stepped on the cigarette in his hand and turned to get into the car.
Tong Qiao waved at the driver's seat. "Be careful on the road."
Lu Jinshen nodded and started the engine.
When Tong Qiao walked towards the villa, she heard the words "Happy Birthday" behind her. She turned around and saw the taillights of Lu Jinshen's car in the distance. Did he say that?
Xia Daiyun saw Tong Qiao enter with a gift box in her hand and asked, "Is this a birthday present from the chief?"
Tong Qiao nodded.
Tong Wenbin's eyes were full of smiles. "It seems like the chief really thinks highly of you."
Tong Qiao sat down on the sofa and placed the square gift box on her lap. She began to unwrap the ribbons on the box. After unwrapping the ribbons and paper, Tong Qiao opened the box. A medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
She saw two rows of items wrapped in bright yellow paper bags. They looked like Chinese medicine.
Xia Daiyun smelled the medicinal fragrance and curiously went over to take a packet. It said: Decocted and take one dose a day, divided into two doses.
Xia Daiyun instantly looked worried. "Qiao 'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Tong Qiao was confused. "No."
Xia Daiyun was puzzled. "Then why did the chief give you Chinese medicine?"
