Chapter 260: Chapter 261: Moving in Together

Song Xiaodong was a bit dumbfounded. Miao Qingqing’s assertiveness, combined with a bit of shamelessness, was something he had not anticipated. Such contact with the feet, if it was a gentle rubbing, could still be considered a sort of pleasure, but this kind of harsh stomping was simply torture.

But soon enough, Song Xiaodong figured it out. This was clearly Miao Qingqing’s revenge; she just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction.

Understanding this, Song Xiaodong simply extended his foot a little more, allowing it to be more conveniently stepped on, letting her stomp to her heart’s content.

Miao Qingqing felt Song Xiaodong’s cooperation, stomping hard for a while until the anger in her heart had somewhat dissipated. She then took her foot back on her own initiative. She was not the kind of person to be unrelenting even when she was right. Seeing Song Xiaodong’s attitude of acknowledging his wrongs was something she could accept.

At this moment, Song Xiaoru turned to Song Xiaodong and said, "By the way, Xiaodong, Qingqing said she’ll take me to work at the headquarters today for some on-the-job training. What do you think?"

Song Xiaodong finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "That’s a great idea. Gaining more experience is good, and being able to lead right away isn’t bad either."

Miao Qingqing gave Song Xiaodong a sideways glance and said, "Although Sister Xiaoru is going to the headquarters, she’ll just be my assistant and won’t really be in charge of anything. Don’t get too ahead of yourself."

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "That’s still just taking orders from one person, as long as she’s not getting bullied by anyone else, that’s fine."

"I would never dare upset Sister Xiaoru," Miao Qingqing blurted subconsciously but immediately felt the ambiguity in her statement, hurriedly adding, "After all, you are investors in the new company. If I offend Sister Xiaoru, with you being such a doting brother, would you still invest?"

Song Xiaoru laughed and said, "No worries at all. I’m just participating a little. Xiaodong, don’t you start adding to the confusion."

Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "As long as our sister is happy, that’s all that matters."

"Right, Qingqing’s place is a bit far from the company. However, our place is very close to the company. It only takes us about fifteen minutes to walk there. So I was thinking, Qingqing could stay at our place for now. This way, it’ll be convenient for us to commute, and in the evening, I can also discuss some matters with Qingqing. What do you think?"

It was only then that Song Xiaodong understood why Miao Qingqing had stayed at his place the previous night. He naturally had no reason to refuse this request, but he indeed felt a bit nervous about it. Nevertheless, he cheerfully agreed, "Of course, that’s no problem at all. Having a beauty living in our house is something one can only wish for."

Miao Qingqing, however, felt a pang of anxiety. This accidental stay at Song Xiaodong’s house had almost led to trouble. If she were to live there long-term, would her innocence be ruined by this guy?

"I want to move in too. If you’re staying here and dad has gone abroad, it would be too boring for me to be alone at home," Miao Xuanxuan suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Miao Qingqing’s wandering thoughts.

Song Xiaoru immediately nodded and said, "It’s good for Xuanxuan to come too. It’ll make things more lively. When Qingqing and I are busy with work, there will be someone to keep Xiaodong company."

Miao Xuanxuan said excitedly, "Then it’s decided. We’ll move in today. Xiaodong, later you’ll come with me to get our stuff, and we can also bring Qingqing’s things over."

Miao Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Just don’t let her mess with my things. You help me with it."

Miao Xuanxuan scoffed and said, "Cut it out with the pettiness. Xiaodong isn’t some lingerie freak; he won’t be interested in your stuff."

Miao Qingqing’s face darkened instantly, while Song Xiaoru couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "It is indeed something to be cautious about, but Xiaodong won’t do that. You can be at ease."

Miao Qingqing did feel a bit embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Sister Xiaoru, I didn’t mean that."

After breakfast, Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru went to the company together, while Miao Xuanxuan immediately draped her arms around Song Xiaodong’s neck, cooingly saying, "Now it’s just the two of us at home."

"So, what do you want to do?" Song Xiaodong asked with a smile, wrapping his arms around Miao Xuanxuan’s waist.

"You big pervert, don’t think you can take advantage of me so easily. Come on, help me move. I’m going to live in your house now."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Yeah, now I can sneak in and steal kisses and caresses whenever I want; I can sneak into your room anytime."

Miao Xuanxuan exclaimed dramatically, "Ah, you big pervert! Even if you sneak into my room, I won’t let you kiss me, I won’t let you touch me, I definitely won’t let you undress me, and thinking about getting it on with me, that’s definitely out of the question."

With a bit of coyness, Miao Xuanxuan provoked Song Xiaodong’s affection even more. He kissed her lips and said proudly, "Haha, there will always be a chance."

The two headed out, descended to the underground garage, and got into the Ferrari. Miao Xuanxuan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow, Dongzi, you actually have a Ferrari? Isn’t that a bit too extravagant?"

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "You, a young lady from a wealthy family, are actually astonished by a Ferrari? That’s just ridiculous."

Miao Xuanxuan said, "How is it not? This car costs five or six million! My dad and my sister always reinvest their money in the company; they would never indulge in such extravagance."

Song Xiaodong thought about it and realized that the cars of Miao Qingqing and Miao Qingyuan were just Mercedes worth at most one or two million. Such a car was indeed something he had never seen in their family.

"If you like it, I’ll buy one for you too," said Song Xiaodong, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Now that’s what I like to hear. Looks like you’re pretty generous. Nope, that’s not right. Just buying me a car won’t cut it. You gave Miao Qingqing over seventy million all at once; this car is just chump change. I’m your girlfriend; you need to give me much more."

"Haha, no problem," he replied.

Miao Xuanxuan was just joking, and when it came to money, she really didn’t have a strict concept of it. She didn’t have a penchant for luxury goods, and even though she wasn’t fussy about spending money, her monthly earnings from the club were just enough to get by.

Watching Miao Xuanxuan sitting in the car, looking intrigued, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but think Miao Qingyuan was quite a unique person. With so much money, he didn’t live in a villa like Xiao Haiqing, but in a duplex within a regular apartment complex. He was also very strict with his children’s education, which may well be a key reason for his success.

"By the way, where’s your dad gone?" asked Song Xiaodong casually.

"He said he was going abroad. I could still contact him until a few days ago, but these past two days, I can’t find him. I have no idea where he’s gone. He’s always like this; sometimes when he goes out, you can’t get through on the phone for several days. I really don’t know what he’s up to?"

"That is a bit strange. Your dad isn’t involved in anything illegal, is he?"

Miao Xuanxuan immediately hit Song Xiaodong and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could my dad be involved in that kind of thing? But honestly, I don’t know much about my dad’s affairs. If you really want to know, you’ll have to ask Miao Qingqing."
