Chapter 616 - Beijing, Here I Come (6) (1/2)

The voice on the other end was silent for a fraction of a second, before steadily replying, “I know.”

He paused before adding, “Don’t worry.”

Those simple words from him were like an anchor for her. Immediately, it stilled the wild thumping of her heart.

She drew a deep breath and spoke, “Okay. Where are you?”

“At a business meeting,” his answer was concise.

“And is it going well? Qiao Lian asked casually.

Then she heard the ring of soft, deep laughter coming from the other end. After a pause, he said, “Xiao Qiao, are you worrying that I won’t be able to feed the family?”

She was moved by his love and friendship.

She cleared her throat and looked up. “It’s okay. If a time comes that you can’t feed the family, I’ll work and keep you well-fed.”

“I have to say I’m grateful to my great wifey.”

She found herself turning bright scarlet at his teasing remark as she walked down the street.

She lifted her hand to touch her burning cheeks.

Why did those words make her feel so shy all of a sudden?

She looked ahead, her vision unfocused and distracted. “You keep working then, I’ll hang up now.”

“Ok.”

Shen Liangchuan was standing at the corridor. The smile on his face vanished at once the moment he hung up.

Song Cheng stood behind him, frowning as he reported, “The two artists with whom we signed last month have asked for termination of their contracts. I’ve done some asking around. They’ve been poached by a newly-established entertainment company called NQ. They paid a high price and indicated that they would aggressively promote the artists.”
