Chapter 280: 280. You are really a practical woman

Especially those voices that speculated that she and Lu Moqing were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it made Qiao Xu frown slightly.

As for Lu Moqing opposite her, it was unclear if he heard those whispers, but the corners of his lips kept curling upwards from time to time.

Suppressing the inexplicable restlessness in her heart, Qiao Xu looked at Lu Moqing across from her and said, "Thank you for earlier."

She pushed the menu in front of her towards him and said, "If President Lu wants to eat anything else, feel free to order."

Lu Moqing glanced at her, put down the tableware in his hand, picked up a wet towel on the side, gently pressed it on the corner of his lips. Seeing Qiao Xu’s rare attentive face, he raised an eyebrow and said:

"I’ve found that you’re really quite a practical woman."

Qiao Xu didn’t know why he said that, she just moved her eyebrows a little, and her gaze quietly rested on him.

"Because I helped you out earlier, you’re so considerate towards me now. Usually, I’ve never seen President Qiao be this nice to me."

Qiao Xu was taken aback, wanting to refute but ultimately accepted Lu Moqing’s words, saying, "You’re right, President Lu. Usually, I wouldn’t have any reason to be so nice to you."

Her words caught Lu Moqing off guard, and he didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.

Like she wasn’t practical enough.

Normally, when facing him, she would be either expressionless or openly ignoring him. Today, for the sake of her son, she showed him enough tolerance.

As for him helping her out earlier, in her eyes, it must have been unexpected, right?

Lu Moqing didn’t want to compete with Qiao Xu, and also knew that competing would be useless. He asked, "Do you believe me now that there’s nothing going on between me and Su Rou?"

The dish Qiao Xu had just picked up with her chopsticks hadn’t made it to her mouth yet when it fell onto the table because of Lu Moqing’s words.

After a moment of silence, she asked solemnly, "Is there really nothing between you and Su Rou?"

Thinking that Qiao Xu would ignore his question, he didn’t expect her to ask him so seriously. The hand holding chopsticks tightened, and he felt an inexplicable sense of elation.

"I told you before."

"Oh, what a pity."

Qiao Xu nodded, her previously serious face now showing a hint of regret. At the same time, the words she said made Lu Moqing freeze.

"What’s a pity?"

"The fact that there’s nothing between you and Su Rou means you can’t be Qiao Sheng’s son-in-law, and our Qiao’s will lose a great source of support."

Lu Moqing’s face instantly darkened. He had just been foolishly happy about Qiao Xu’s sudden seriousness.

He even had hope for this heartless woman.

Qiao Xu ignored the gloom on his face and laughed, "President Lu might not know, but I’m now the largest shareholder of Qiao’s. I suddenly realized that Qiao’s lost such a big source of support, and I can’t help but feel it’s a pity."

Saying so, she shook her head regretfully.

Lu Moqing took a deep breath, deciding to ignore what this shameless woman said. Moments later, he suddenly curved his lips.

"There’s nothing to regret. How could President Qiao forget? I can’t be Qiao Sheng’s son-in-law, but I can be your husband. As long as you remarry me, the entire Lu Group will be yours."

Although she knew Lu Moqing was teasing her, it must be admitted that his proposal was really appealing. Unfortunately...

How could she possibly jump into the same pit again?

Even without resentment between her and Lu Moqing, there could be no further interactions. In her opinion, the current distant but not too distant relationship was enough.
