Chapter 181: Han Yufei

Zhou Xian glanced at Lu Jingqing, who was still dancing with another woman not far away, and said, "However, he now seems to be dancing with another woman."

Because of Zhou Xian's remark, Su Yun Jiao's dancing steps halted, and she almost stepped on Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian lowered his head, glanced, and knew that Su Yun Jiao's heart was entirely on Lu Jingqing.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingqing over there had already noticed that Su Yun Jiao was dancing with Zhou Xian.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't dance, but she still danced with Zhou Xian for quite a while.

"Jingqing, what are you looking at?"

The woman's eyes were a beautiful amber, making them look like lovely gems.

"Nothing."

Lu Jingqing withdrew his gaze and didn't speak.

"Let's have a drink together."

The woman picked up one of the champagnes, intending to hand it to Lu Jingqing, but Lu Jingqing seemed uninterested: "No thanks."

Lu Jingqing said lightly: "I have something to do, you drink slowly."

After saying that, Lu Jingqing walked toward Su Yun Jiao.

On this side, Su Yun Jiao hadn't noticed Lu Jingqing approaching; she was still dancing with Zhou Xian.

By the time Su Yun Jiao realized, Lu Jingqing had somehow appeared behind her.

Su Yun Jiao turned her head and saw Lu Jingqing standing behind her.

Lu Jingqing politely said to Zhou Xian: "Thank you, Young Master Zhou, for looking after Jiao Jiao."

"You're welcome; this is what I should do."

Zhou Xian's expression was indifferent, and he said: "Boss Lu, if you truly like Jiao Jiao, you should also consider your fiancée, rather than dancing with another woman."

"It's just our own matter; thank you, Young Master Zhou, for keeping it in mind."

Lu Jingqing directly pulled Su Yun Jiao into his embrace.

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head to look at Lu Jingqing holding her hand, and suddenly felt a strange sensation spreading in her chest.

Su Yun Jiao didn't speak.

Instead, she let Lu Jingqing hold her hand.

Zhou Xian also didn't say anything else, and turned to leave.

After Zhou Xian left, Su Yun Jiao looked at Lu Jingqing: "Brother Jingqing, why aren't you dancing with that girl anymore? I saw you two chatting happily."

Just now, Lu Jingqing and that woman seemed to have a lot to say, and the topic kept going, and Lu Jingqing's face showed a smile, which Su Yun Jiao rarely saw.

Su Yun Jiao herself didn't notice that when she spoke, her tone carried a hint of jealousy.

I actually got jealous.

And it was jealousy over Lu Jingqing and another woman.

Lu Jingqing said: "That's just an overseas partner; what are you thinking?"

"Maybe she's a confidante."

After Su Yun Jiao said that, she felt she had misspoken.

What does Lu Jingqing being a confidante with another woman have to do with me?

Su Yun Jiao averted her gaze, pretending not to look at Lu Jingqing.

Lu Jingqing, however, smiled faintly and said: "You think I have some other relationship with her."

"Is that so?"

Su Yun Jiao nodded.

She indeed thought that.

Because Lu Jingqing rarely shows that kind of smile to women.

Lu Jingqing tapped Su Yun Jiao's forehead and said: "You're overthinking; I have a fiancée and would never do anything to betray her."

That sentence made Su Yun Jiao blush.

"Brother Jingqing, you're just saying that to cheer me up."

Su Yun Jiao clearly understood the relationship between herself and Lu Jingqing.

Putting it nicely, it's a cooperation.

Putting it bluntly, it's actually me asking Lu Jingqing for help.

"This must be Miss Su Yun Jiao."

The woman who had previously danced with Lu Jingqing walked up to Su Yun Jiao, extended a hand: "Hello, Miss Su, I'm Han Yufei, nice to meet you."

Su Yun Jiao looked down at Han Yufei's hand extended toward her, but she hesitated and didn't shake it.

Although Su Yun Jiao knew this was basic etiquette, she still didn't do it.

She glanced at Lu Jingqing beside her, as if waiting for him to speak before she would shake hands.

"Jiao Jiao is young; this is her first time attending such an event."

Lu Jingqing indeed spoke up for Su Yun Jiao, and her heart felt a little sweet.

Han Yufei withdrew her hand and said: "I can tell she's young; probably still in high school, coming in a school uniform—you really dote on her."

For such an occasion, the female companion must be dressed formally.

But Lu Jingqing only let Su Yun Jiao come in her school uniform.

Han Yufei previously didn't know Lu Jingqing would treat a girl this well.

Lu Jingqing said: "Time's about up; I'm preparing to take Jiao Jiao home; you all continue."

After saying that, Lu Jingqing took Su Yun Jiao and walked toward the outside of the banquet.

"Wait."

Han Yufei walked up to Lu Jingqing and Su Yun Jiao and said, "Jingqing, there's a project I still need to discuss with you; let your fiancée wait a moment."

Su Yun Jiao glanced at the hand Han Yufei had on Lu Jingqing's arm, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Being women, it's easy to sense each other's hostility.

At least Han Yufei didn't treat Lu Jingqing as a mere business partner.

"Then Jingqing brother, you and Miss Han can talk about the project; I'll have Brother Xiao Li send me home first."

Su Yun Jiao was about to shake off Lu Jingqing's hand after saying that, but unexpectedly Lu Jingqing gripped her hand even tighter: "Let's go together."

"Jingqing?"

Han Yufei froze.

Before, whenever there was work-related business, Lu Jingqing would never ignore it.

How come now she wants to discuss a project with Lu Jingqing, and Lu Jingqing just says he's leaving and goes?

In just half a year, Lu Jingqing seems to have become a different person.

"Miss Han, if there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow at the company."

"……Alright, then I won't disturb you."

Han Yufei nodded reluctantly.

After Han Yufei left, Su Yun Jiao then said to Lu Jingqing, "Why aren't you chatting with Miss Han? She actually wanted to discuss a project with you."

Su Yun Jiao's words were full of jealousy.

Lu Jingqing replied blandly, "Someone's already turning into a vinegar jar; how could I still have the mind to discuss projects with others?"

Su Yun Jiao's displeasure was written all over her face just now; Lu Jingqing isn't blind, he could tell at a glance that she was unhappy.

Su Yun Jiao gave a hehe laugh and said, "I didn't expect Brother Jingqing to still be so thoughtful."

Lu Jingqing didn't speak.

And Secretary Li also felt that their Boss Lu had changed; before, whenever work was mentioned, Lu Jingqing would definitely set aside what he was doing, but just now when Miss Han asked Boss Lu to discuss a project, Boss Lu had no reaction.
