Chapter 173: 173. Stirring up trouble

Qiao Xu carefully read the email and then called President Xie back.

"President Xie, I’ve read the email, there are no issues, and everything will be done as you said."

When discussing business matters, Qiao Xu would naturally become engrossed, so much so that she forgot that her foot was injured and she couldn’t walk. While talking to President Xie on the phone, she stood up from the dining chair.

"Alright, I’ll go to the study to handle it now."

Lu Moqing saw her getting up and frowned instantly. As Qiao Xu’s injured foot touched the ground, the pain made her retract her foot immediately. She then lost her balance and started to fall.

Fortunately, Lu Moqing was sitting close to her and caught her in his arms before she hit the ground.

Qiao Xu was quite frightened just now and had unintentionally stood up, applying too much pressure on her injured foot. The pain was intense, so she could only cling tightly onto Lu Moqing’s clothes, her heart pounding heavily.

"Qiao Xu, you have more and more ways of throwing yourself into someone’s arms now."

From above, Lu Moqing’s voice was laced with grinding teeth and lingering fright.

Although he was sitting not far from her, had he been a little slower, Qiao Xu would not have been able to avoid the fall.

At this moment, Qiao Xu was also somewhat dazed. She was too absorbed in discussing matters with President Xie and had completely forgotten about her injured foot.

Being held in Lu Moqing’s arms, his low and powerful heartbeat thumped into her ears, causing her ears to heat up involuntarily.

"Dad..."

From the staircase, Qiao Yi’s cheerful voice could be heard. Qiao Xu regained her senses, put on an innocent face, and got out of Lu Moqing’s embrace. She looked as if nothing had happened and glanced at the staircase, saying, "Qiao Yi, it’s time to eat."

When she looked back, she was a bit surprised, and went to look at Lin Yuan beside Qiao Yi. Lin Yuan’s usually make-up free face now sported delicate makeup.

She had put on makeup during that short time of calling Qiao Yi down for dinner?

Lin Yuan was a beautiful female college student. She was already quite pretty without makeup, but after applying such delicate makeup, she was even more eye-catching.

Even Qiao Xu as a woman could not deny that Lin Yuan had some charm.

She had a bit more gentleness compared to the innocence of a college student and a bit more purity compared to women who had been in society for a long time - simply perfect.

This style was somewhat similar to Su Rou’s, which should be the type Lu Moqing likes.

Qiao Xu thoughtfully glanced at Lin Yuan and looked away.

Lin Yuan was also frightened by Qiao Xu’s gaze just now. She stood by the staircase, nervously clenching her fists, worrying that Qiao Xu might embarrass her. But to her surprise, Qiao Xu didn’t say a word.

Lin Yuan was both nervous and uneasy, constantly looking over at Lu Moqing.

President Lu didn’t even glance in her direction, making her suddenly lose confidence.

She was the campus belle at her university, pursued by many handsome and wealthy young men, but she believed that with her qualifications, she could find someone even better. She kept them hanging, neither accepting nor rejecting their advances.

She believed that she had enough charm to attract Lu Moqing, but she never expected that he wouldn’t even give her a glance.

While thinking about it, she came to terms with it. After all, someone with Lu Moqing’s status would have seen all kinds of beauties. She was not wearing any makeup earlier, so it was normal for him not to notice her.

So she took advantage of the time she spent calling Qiao Yi for dinner, putting on delicate makeup. However, Lu Moqing still didn’t look at her.
