Chapter 474

To avoid being seen by her colleagues, Shu Xia quickly got into the car.

After sitting down, she said to the driver, "Drive quickly."

Watching Shu Xia's anxious appearance as she wanted to leave, Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow.

In such a rush?

"What are you hiding from?" Qiao Muting asked in a slightly cold voice.

"I'm afraid of being seen by my colleagues," Shu Xia answered truthfully, and while answering, she carefully glanced outside.

After confirming that no colleagues were looking over, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Muting's face turned icy instantly, "Do you think I'm someone who can't be seen in public?"

Rushing to leave just because she was afraid of being seen with him, what is this? Is being the wife of Qiao Muting something that can't be seen in public?

Shu Xia didn't think much of it at first, but after hearing the words "can't be seen in public," she realized that Qiao Muting had misunderstood, "It's not that you can't be seen in public, it's that I'm afraid my colleagues will ask one thing after another, and I won't be able to avoid all sorts of explanations."

"Your colleagues don't know you're married?" Qiao Muting's expression softened slightly, but his tone still carried a hint of chill.

Shu Xia adjusted her sitting posture and leaned comfortably against the back of the seat, "The people in your company don't know you're married either, do they?"

It's not certain who is looking down on whom.

Someone who didn't know would think Qiao Muting had taken the initiative to attack, as if she were the one looking down on him.

Qiao Muting: "..."

He had indeed overlooked this point.

The driver focused on driving, looking as if he hadn't heard anything, but in reality, he couldn't stop himself from smiling inside; he could feel that Qiao was valuing Shu Xia more and more.

Otherwise, how could he be angry for no reason?

But it seemed that neither of them had noticed the other's feelings.

And the scene of Shu Xia getting into Qiao Muting's car, although not seen by her colleagues, was seen by Lin Qi, who had been lurking for over two hours.

Lin Qi was shocked to death.

"So we've been guessing wrong all along!"

"We never dared to associate Shu Xia and Qiao Muting together because we felt Shu Xia wasn't good enough for Qiao Muting, and we also felt Qiao Muting wouldn't look twice at Shu Xia who grew up in the countryside; as it turns out, the most impossible thing has become possible!"

"Now, our company is saved!"

——

Jiang Nannan had not taken the initiative to contact Huo Jingyan for the past two days.

Once the seed of suspicion is planted, it is impossible to pretend that everything is peaceful.

Her heart had been in turmoil for these two days, but fortunately, she could use work to distract herself and did not let herself fall into this kind of speculation.

She had originally thought Huo Jingyan would be away for another period of time, but she didn't expect that when she got home from work, he was already there.

There was even a large bouquet of flowers placed in front of the door.

The entire villa was filled with waves of floral fragrance.

And Huo Jingyan was personally cooking in the kitchen.

Such a warm scene felt like a lifetime ago, as if it were from a very, very long time ago.

Huo Jingyan rarely cooked.

But it wasn't as if he had never done it.

The last time was a year ago, right?

Jiang Nannan had somewhat forgotten; in the year since they had been married, she had almost always cooked meals every day waiting for him to get off work, and she always felt very happy doing these things for him, so she didn't hire a servant.

But at this moment, she didn't seem to have the slightest ripple in her heart.

The suitcase placed to the side seemed to be a reminder of Huo Jingyan's deception, and she cast her gaze back onto the vibrant bouquet of flowers.

It was very beautiful.
