Chapter 835: Love Starting from a Breakup 24

Qiao Xu simply doesn't know what her past self was thinking.

Looking back now, Jin Chen's hints were all obvious.

But if you say it's because the person involved is confused, Gu He actually made it quite obvious too.

"Don't blame yourself, don't overthink."

Jin Chen could tell what the young master was thinking, rubbed his head to comfort him, saying, "It's not too late to realize this now."

"It's already too late."

Qiao Xu muttered, feeling truly wronged, "If I had realized earlier and not been swayed by Gu He, we wouldn't have broken up."

"I regret it so much, Jin Chen."

Leaning her head on Jin Chen's shoulder, she spoke softly, "You must be heartbroken too, definitely."

Hearing the faint sigh beside her ear, Jin Chen's heart softened; he cupped the young master's face, locking eyes.

"This breakup, you've seen through many things—it's a good thing."

"I haven't completely cut off contact with you, have I?"

His tone low and gentle, he softly coaxed.

Qiao Xu tilted her head, bumping her forehead against Jin Chen's, but without any force, just pressing close and lightly rubbing.

"So do you still like me?"

Before he could answer, she added, "I haven't drunk today; I'm sober."

Feeling that wasn't enough, she wrapped her arms around Jin Chen's neck, nearly squeezing into his embrace.

"You like me, right." The last words were whispered so softly only Jin Chen could hear, intimate and tender by his ear.

Although the young master is spoiled, when he acts coquettish, no one can resist.

Of course, the only person who has seen Qiao Xu act this coquettish is Jin Chen.

That's enough.

"I like you."

Jin Chen said, "I've never stopped liking you."

Although they had only broken up nearly a month ago, Qiao Xu felt those words were from another lifetime.

She hadn't heard them in a long, long time.

Tears began to fall uncontrollably again; Qiao Xu leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, arms gripping tightly.

"Sorry, brother."

"But I know I'm bad; you liked me first, then let me chase you."

Qiao Xu's words came out all mixed up.

Jin Chen simply didn't understand.

"What did you say?"

After realizing, he laughed and pinched his chin, saying, "What nonsense are you talking?"

"I didn't say nonsense."

Qiao Xu then rubbed his palm, gazing at Jin Chen without blinking, love flowing in her eyes.

"I still want to pursue you, but during this process you can't fall for someone else."

"You must have had a hard time pursuing me before."

【What a little lovers' game.】

Spicy Comment.

Ignoring the voice in his mind, Jin Chen looked at the young master's serious expression and couldn't help teasing him.

"What if I end up liking someone else?"

"No way!"

Qiao Xu covered Jin Chen's mouth with both hands, stopping him from speaking further.

He straddled Jin Chen, furrowed his brows, pouted, and let out two hums.

"Brother, don't be angry with me; you just can't like anyone else."

"If you have someone you like, I'll lock you up and not let you go."

Jin Chen broke into a sweat.

Why does the line about locking someone up appear in almost every world?

The wife really does love imprisonment!

"Say something."

Qiao Xu grew even more dissatisfied.

She had actually forgotten that she came over today to comfort Jin Chen, not to be comforted by him.

The young master didn't notice this change at all; fortunately, Jin Chen was also enjoying it.

"Okay, I promise."

Jin Chen's lips curved into a smile; his long arm tightly restrained the young master's waist, playfully giving a gentle rub.

"Then I'll eagerly await how the young master pursues someone."

Thinking of the five or six plans she'd discussed with her friends but not yet carried out, Qiao Xu nodded confidently.

"You'll definitely be satisfied; I guarantee it."

Since there was still plenty of work to handle in the afternoon, Jin Chen didn't linger excessively with the young master.

But when Qiao Xu left, he gave her a shield.

"What is this?"

Qiao Xu curiously fiddled with the thing in

Your father will be back soon; the Gu Family's movements will definitely be big lately. This device can shield surveillance and also detect surveillance.

Jin Chen patted the wrinkled corner of the young master's clothes, his tone admonishing, "If you're going to show down with your father, remember not to let anyone overhear."

Okay, I know.

Qiao Xu put away the shield, pressed his lips and clenched his fist, lifted his gaze to look up at Jin Chen, "This time I definitely won't be tricked by Gu He."

He left with the lunch box, and before leaving he even asked for a hug before he would go.

Secretary Li saw him off from behind; upon seeing the young master enter the direct elevator, he let out a relieved sigh.

How good, indeed only the madam's meals are needed; I no longer have to eat the dishes prepared by Young Master Shen.

Heaven knows how greasy it is.

But whether intentional or not, Qiao Xu still heard those words.

So Jin Chen didn't eat the meal Shen Ling brought that day!

This realization made the young master very happy.

So after going downstairs he contacted the front desk and directly treated the whole company to afternoon tea.

The front desk excitedly immediately posted the news in the staff group.

The numerous employees in the shielded leadership group, upon learning of it, all cheered.

As expected, only the legitimate madam will do!

On the other side, the team tracking Jin Chen's plan implementation.

Jin Chengtian: "Five hours have already passed; cooking and delivering the meal shouldn't still be insufficient, right? Why hasn't Qiao Xu come out yet!"

Xi Zhengyang: "Even the time to stir-fry another meal would be enough!" (dog head)

Mo Lin: "Enough, I'm telling you, you really have had enough; maybe they're deep in love right now."

Hu Die Lan: "Does nobody care that Shen Ling, who was driven away by Qiao Xu's anger today, went straight to my nightclub and ordered five male models?"

Xi Zhengyang: "We are a model."

Qiao Xu: "Hey hey hey, friends, the plan is very successful, progress is very smooth!"

As soon as he appeared, the group's atmosphere instantly became heated, with everyone tagging and asking how to make Shen Ling angry into that bear-like state.

Mentioning this, Qiao Xu's good mood weakened a bit.

Qiao Xu: "He came to find Jin Chen, and the first thing he said was that he wanted to ally by marriage with Jin Chen! How could I not be angry? It's just because of that extra Shen Qing from the Shen family's main line! Look how scared he's become!"

Jin Chengtian: "Yesterday we brought Qiao Xu out for drinks, and Shen Qing came too."

Qiao Xu: "How come I didn't see him?"

Mo Lin: "? Damn it, I'm going to call the police and arrest you! I'm busy working at the company, and you're drinking??"

Hu Die Lan: "This Shen Qing's presence is so low?? I totally didn't notice there was an extra person."

Xi Zhengyang: "Could it be that he's just too good at hiding, and his target isn't us?"

The group fell silent for a few seconds.

Qiao Xu: "Wow, Shen Ling might really be unable to compete! Happy~"

The very happy Qiao Xu drove home; as soon as he parked, he saw a familiar figure inside the villa's main gate.

His eyes lit up, he tossed the car keys to the servant, and hurriedly ran toward that person.

Father!!
