Chapter 32 (1/2)
***
Yu Dong had woken up and immediately recalled last night’s sweet kiss. She couldn’t help but roll around her bed.
Unexpectedly, Xia Feng who looks like a perfect gentleman can actually kiss so passionately.
No wonder novels featuring the black-bellied president were so popular, being dominated by someone you like actually feels quite good.
“Hey, hey…” Yu Dong was amused by her brainless thoughts.
After a while, Yu Dong got out of bed and went to towards her window to open the curtains.
It was unusually beautiful and sunny, the sunshine filling her room and brightening everyone’s day. But with Yu Dong’s current mood, even in the rain and snow, everything would feel romantic to her.
Because for a woman in love, everything is seen through this powerful filter.
Yu Dong stood in front of her window and stretched, before leaving to wash and prepare to go out.
After dressing, she went out into the kitchen and surprisingly found a light blue insulated lunchbox on the dining table.
When Yu Dong walked closer, she noticed a note beside the box. The familiar script made her smile and even before she started reading it, Yu Dong was already happy.
[ I bought breakfast on the way home, and I remembered to eat dinner. I’ve arrived home, and I’ll be sleeping first. When I wake up, I’ll be checking if you’ve eaten!
P.S. I’ve already eaten some ]
Yu Dong arched an eyebrow and opened the blue lunchbox. Four crystal-clear Xiao Long Baos were inside, still emanating warmth.
(T/N Xiao Long Baos look like Mini steamed buns)
Yu Dong picked up a small bun and ate a mouthful. The burst of crab tasted unexpectedly sweet.
She obediently ate her breakfast, then added some words on the note before leaving.
As soon as Yu Dong drove her car out through the community gates, her phone started ringing. She accepted the call after seeing that it was Xiaoyue.
“Xiaoyue I just left, I’ll be there in 40 minutes.”
“Don’t go to the studio, come to the World Trade Center,” Xiaoyue said.
“The World Trade Center? Are you planning to talk about a collaboration with someone?” Yu Dong asked, confused.
“What cooperation, we’re going to get Lu Xuan!” Xiang Xiaoyue was seething mad.
“Lu Xuan? What happened?” Yu Dong asked.
“That scum, he took advantage of the fact that I went to my parent’s house yesterday and ran to my apartment to find Xinxin.” At the thought of this, Xiaoyue’s rage grew.
“Is Xinxin alright!” Yu Dong became worried.
“How can she be alright, when I came back this morning her eyes were swollen; it looked like she cried all night.” Xiang Xiaoyue continued to growl, “You know Xinxin, whenever something like this happens to her she thinks she’ll be a bother and doesn’t call.”
The World Trade Center was quite close to the residential area where Yu Dong lived. In less than half an hour, she parked directly beneath the Lu Group building.
“Dong Dong!”
Yu Dong got off her car and saw Xiang Xiaoyue near the entrance of Lu Group’s building, wearing a fiery red coat. It was really eye-catching and was particularly striking next to Yu Dong who was wearing black and white.
“Let’s go!”
The two entered the building and sat in the lobby lounge to discuss their game plan.
“What did Lu Xuan say to Xinxin yesterday?” Yu Dong wanted to know what happened last night first.
“That absolute scum said he wanted to take Xinxin’s baby away. I can’t believe it, I’ve never seen such a cheap man!” Xiaoyue spits.
“Take the baby? You mean Lu Xuan wants the child?” Yu Dong was doubtful. After previously listening to Xinxin’s experiences with Lu Xuan, it was obvious that he thought Xinxin purposely became pregnant to trap him into marriage. Lu Xuan even said several times before that he was disgusted with the child.
“Yes, he said that when Xinxin gives birth, he will get a lawyer to fight for custody and threatened Xinxin to just hand over the baby willingly, or else he’d make it so that she’d never be able to see the baby in the future.” Xiang Xiaoyue said, “Xinxin was scared to death.”
“So what can we do here? Talk to him?” Yu Dong asked.
“He didn’t see me at all!” Xiang Xiaoyue said gloomily, “I came early in the morning, and the elevators wouldn’t go up! The front desk keeps telling me that Lu Xuan was busy negotiating a collaboration with Aville Corporation, it’s obviously an excuse!”
Yu Dong took out her phone to search online, but the connection speed was slow that she felt like she’d die of old age before the page finishes loading.
[ Aville Corporation, a famous real estate company in Singapore, CEO Qin Yue who was originally from Jiangsu Province and now lives in Singapore… ]
Qin Yue? Yu Dong was stunned, and she looked at Xiang Xiaoyue.
“What are you looking at me for?” Xiang Xiaoyue looked at Yu Dong strangely.
“Do you know a Qin Yue?” Yu Dong asked.
“Qin Yue? Who?” Xiaoyue asked doubtfully.
Your future husband…Yu Dong answered in her heart.
“He’s the president of Aville Corporation.” Yu Dong explained.
“Then how can I possibly- how can I know!” Xiaoyue shook her head.
It seems that you’re going to have to meet each other earlier than last time. I hope that you’ll fall in love with each other again in this life.
“Did you think of a way? We have to talk to Lu Xuan and warn him away!” Xiaoyue said, looking serious.
“How long have you been here?” Yu Dong suddenly asked.
“Almost 2 hours,” Xiaoyue replied.
“Then it should pretty much be the same.” Yu Dong estimated, then looked back at Xiaoyue and reminded her: “Lu Xuan should be sending the people from Aville Corporation down soon, I’ll go look for him then. Don’t get too excited, remember to keep your goddess demeanor!”
Don’t scare your future husband away.
“Can you handle him alone?” Xiang Xiaoyue worried.
“No problem!”
The two women sat for another 10 minutes before they finally saw Lu Xuan arrive.
“Come on!” Xiang Xiaoyue stood up excitedly.
Yu Dong looked towards the crowd, Qin Yue really was next to Lu Xuan. Before her rebirth, Xiang Xiaoyue regularly sent lovey-dovey photos of Qin Yue to her circle of friends, to the point that Yu Dong had to blacklist her from QQ.
Yu Dong took off her coat and set it aside; she was wearing a simple beige long-sleeved dress with black high-heels. It wasn’t very formal, but it would have to do.
“President Qin, I had a pleasant time talking to you, I hope we can have an opportunity to collaborate.” Lu Xuan and Qin Yue shook hands.
“Naturally. We’ve seen the Lu Group’s plans, and while we’re satisfied, I have to go back and discuss specifics for a collaboration.” Qin Yue laughed.
“You don’t need to send me off past here.” Qin Yue said.
“Take care, President Qin!”
Yu Dong saw that they were about to part, so she shouted loudly.
“President Qin!”
Qin Yue heard a shout, so he looked back, only to see two beautiful women walking towards him.
When Lu Xuan saw the two women he immediately frowned; he could still feel his eggs aching.
