Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Is Your Boyfriend Coming to Pick You Up?

He sat down on the sofa, thinking of the news from that day, and couldn’t help but feel worried, "How about taking that news down? If it stays up too long it could affect the girl’s life, especially if she wants to date in the future..."

Lu Jinyang’s face tightened, "My woman needs to date?"

"You... never mind, do whatever you want," Gu Chen seemed to think of something and looked somewhat sorrowful.

"Some things cannot be ’do whatever you want’. To be with someone, it takes a great deal of courage." He seemed to be speaking to Lu Jinyang but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Lu Jinyang never listens to such talk, so he had no idea why he was feeling sentimental.

Leaving the General Manager’s office, she didn’t want to return to her office in a huff, so she took a detour to the restroom.

She had barely reached the door when she heard a subdued voice inside. Zhuang Shuqing listened, realizing something was off, and her eyebrows deeply furrowed.

That voice was... Lin Xiaoxiao’s!

She was about to lean closer to listen for a bit longer when footsteps sounded nearby. Zhuang Shuqing’s expression darkened, she deliberately stomped in place a few times, then walked into the restroom.

Lin Xiaoxiao had already looked outside upon hearing the footsteps. Seeing that it was Zhuang Shuqing, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly covered it up, speaking into the phone, "Alright, I won’t talk anymore, I’m still at work right now... Mm... bye."

After hanging up, Zhuang Shuqing came out of the toilet.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the sink, giving Zhuang Shuqing a slight smile, "I heard you went to Mr. Gu’s office just now, he didn’t blame you, did he?"

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t answer immediately, methodically washed her hands, took a paper towel to dry them, and then slowly responded, "I didn’t do anything wrong, why would he blame me?"

"You weren’t..." Lin Xiaoxiao started to say something but suddenly laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, I remembered wrong. It was the old company’s rule that employees shouldn’t be involved in any scandals."

After she spoke, she even stuck her tongue out at Zhuang Shuqing.

Zhuang Shuqing gave her a faint look, with an unreadable expression, "That’s your misunderstanding," she said, then left without turning back.

A moment later, Lin Xiaoxiao followed her and quietly sat down behind Zhuang Shuqing, maintaining silence until the end of the workday.

As she was getting ready to leave, Zhuang Shuqing received a call from Qin Huaixin, she said, "Okay, I’m coming down now."

Carrying her bag, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her enviously: "Shuqing, is your boyfriend coming to pick you up?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Shuqing looked helplessly at her, "Lin Xiaoxiao, I don’t like others paying too much attention to my private matters."

Lin Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, wanted to say something else, but Zhuang Shuqing had already walked away.

...

Downstairs, Zhuang Shuqing got into Qin Huaixin’s car and immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

"Did anyone give you a hard time at the office today?"

"Not a hard time, but I was called to Mr. Gu’s office." She had seen Lu Jinyang.

"Were you scolded?"

"No, I wasn’t."

Qin Huaixin was speechless, "Then what’s with the look of having escaped with your life?"

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Shuqing asked, "Do you know who the owner of Mo Entertainment Studio is?"

"I’m not very sure, I need to ask my dad about that."

"Right, your dad should have returned from his business trip today, right?"

"Yes, he just got home and had just called me."

"Will it cause you trouble if I go to your house?"

No sooner had Zhuang Shuqing spoken, Qin Huai messily ruffled her hair, scaring her into shouting, "Drive carefully, focus on the driving!"
