"Oh, CEO Lu, you're finally here. I didn't welcome you from afar, I didn't welcome you from afar!"

With a face full of smiles, Director Zhang held a wine cup in his hand and walked towards the door, speaking in a flattering manner.

CEO Lu?

Could it be …

Hearing Director Zhang's greeting, a strong feeling suddenly arose in Qiao Yifan's heart.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Yifan turned his head and looked towards the door. Sure enough, Lu Qing's well-defined face and well-ironed black suit made his handsome figure enter her line of sight.

Ommygod!

The moment Qiao Yifan saw Lu Qing Chen, he subconsciously reacted by thinking, "Why would Lu Qing Chen be here? Didn't he go on a business trip?" You're back so soon?

Countless questions swarmed Qiao Yifan's mind like floodwaters. He could only feel that he was about to run out of intelligence.

In the instant that Qiao Yifan was lost in thought, Lu Qing's gaze locked onto Qiao Yifan, who was only five meters away from him.

The moment he entered the banquet hall, he recognized Qiao Yifan. Although it was the back of a person, forget about him just being away for 3 days, even if he was away for 3 years, he wouldn't be wrong.

After all, he still had a certain understanding of Qiao Yifan's work. It couldn't be said that he was constantly paying attention to Qiao Yifan's movements, but he still knew the general general general direction.

Of course, there wasn't much use in saying all this now. What he wanted to know was, who could tell him what kind of crap Qiao Yifuo was wearing tonight!

The fabric of the miniskirt was so short that it barely covered Qiao Yimo's raised buttocks, while Qiao Yifan's two long and straight thighs were so bare and exposed in the air.

As Qiao Yifan's entire body was facing away from him, he followed his line of sight and what entered his sight was Qiao Yifan's beautiful back, which was nearly half its original area. When people looked at it, it truly gave off an indescribable temptation.

With Qiao Yifan's attire, even Lu Qing himself was unable to restrain the throbbing of his heart, much less those men at the banquet.

When he thought about Qiao Yifan's exposed areas being looked at by the men at the banquet, Lu Qing's expression instantly darkened …

Good, very good!

She, Qiao Yifan, was really good. He had only been away for three days and on the day he returned, she had already given him such a big "surprise".

Qiao Yifan, whose back was facing Lu Qingjing, did not dare to directly turn around. His body was still maintaining its original position as he thought to use this opportunity to reduce the feeling of his existence in front of Lu Qing Chen to the maximum. Even so, she was still able to feel Lu Qing's extremely pressured gaze shooting towards her.

President Zhang saw that Lu Qingcheng's gaze was fixated on Qiao Yifeng who was not far away. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly introduced Lu Qingming to him enthusiastically, "Boss Lu, let me introduce you. This is Editor Xia of Le Yang Culture Company, and this is the person who signed the contract with their company, Miss Qiao Yifeng."

"Hello, CEO Lu." Editor-in-Chief Xia gave Lu Qingshen a light nod and politely greeted him.

When Lu Qing walked over to Qiao Yifan, she already knew that she wouldn't be able to avoid a direct confrontation with Lu Qing. She secretly bit her lips, and then quickly turned around.

"Good morning, CEO Lu." In the same way, Joe, with a crooked smile on his face, greeted Lu Qingshen in the manner of two strangers meeting.

It would have been better if Qiao Yifan hadn't turned around, but the moment she did, Lu Qing almost gasped for breath, and just like that, he passed by. Even the way he looked at Qiao Yifan couldn't help but become serene and profound …

The brassiere style dress made Qiao Yifeng's chest expose a large area of charming spring light. Coupled with the fact that the dress was originally a close-fitting design, one could faintly see Qiao Yifan's well-developed career line.

Yes, she really could!

It was fine if her legs were exposed and her back was exposed, but what did Qiao Yifan want?

Was his woman, Lu Qing, really so poor that she couldn't afford clothes!?

Could the fabric of her clothes be any less!

Who was it that found such an indecent outfit for her!?

The more he thought about it, the more Lu Qing's hand that was hanging by his side couldn't help but form a fist, and his entire body also emitted an icy aura that came from the Arctic. The pressure that lingered around Lu Qing's surroundings instantly dropped, causing everyone that stood beside Lu Qing to involuntarily shiver.

However, in next to no time, Lu Qing Chen was able to adjust himself.

In the next second, as if nothing had happened, Lu Qingjin spoke to CEO Zhang in a leisurely manner, "I will naturally come to the celebratory dinner that is the investment of President Zhang's new project."

"Haha, Boss Lu is willing to give us face after all. This way, please." Seeing that Lu Qingjin had returned to normal, Chief Zhang also let out a sigh of relief. While smiling, he had a deep discussion with Lu Qing and led him into the banquet hall.

The instant he passed by Qiao Yifan, Lu Qing looked deeply at Qiao Yifeng once more, and then left with CEO Zhang …

Only after seeing Lu Qing finally leave did Qiao Yifan close his eyes and take a deep breath. It was as if he had been reborn from a tribulation.

It really wasn't that she was exaggerating, but the key point was that Lu Qing's stern gaze was really too frightening!

Seeing Director Zhang leave just like that, Editor-in-Chief Xia had a face full of unwillingness, but since there was someone beside Director Zhang, she had no choice. Thinking about it, Editor-in-Chief Xia said to Qiao Yifan somewhat helplessly: "Since you're here, then let's wait a bit longer and see if you have the chance to do so again."

Qiao Yifan nodded but did not refute.

Just in time, a text message beep came from Joe's cell phone.

"Let's go after dinner."

Qiao Yifan looked at the text message that Lu Qingjin had sent him. It was only a simple six words, but Qiao Yifeng still couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body when he saw it.

She wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Lu Qing really wanted to return with her, and especially after seeing Lu Qing look at her with such a gaze, Qiao Yifan had a faint feeling that he wasn't well.

Inwardly sighing, Qiao Yifan made a move to reply to Lu Qing with a "Good", then put the phone back into the bag.

Just as Editor-in-Chief Xia had said, Qiao Yifan had no choice but to wait at the banquet with Editor-in-Chief Xia for another chance to be alone with him.

After standing inside for a while, Editor-in-Chief Xia felt that he couldn't just stand there and wait. This kind of efficiency was too low, so he thought and turned to Qiao Yifan and said: "You wait here for me by yourself. I'll go look around, even if I can't contact CEO Zhang, it'll be good for you to contact someone else."

Watching Editor-in-Chief Xia leave, Qiao Yifan took a piece of cake and sat down in an inconspicuous corner. He was indeed a bit hungry after not eating for the whole night.

As he thought of this, Qiao Yifan began to nibble on the cake with his fork. Qiao Yifan's brow creased tightly as he had just eaten two mouthfuls. He looked as if he could pinch a fly to death.

She really wasn't being picky. The key was that the cake was really too stinky, the cream wasn't exquisite and the cake lacked softness. Compared to what she had cooked, it was much worse.

Qiao Yifan didn't even bother to take a third bite as he directly pushed the cake to the corner of the table.

It looked like Lu Qing had left with CEO Zhang, but his gaze did not leave Qiao Yifan in the slightest. He took in all of Qiao Yifan's movements in his sight.

Especially the moment when Qiao Yifan frowned and put down the cake instead of eating it, Lu Qingzhen had guessed the reason. He quietly called over Special Assistant Little Wu at the side and whispered a few words to her.

Editor Xia didn't know where he had gone to. Qiao Yifan sitting alone in a corner was extremely boring, but he couldn't leave early. Plus, she was still hungry, but the things at the banquet didn't suit her and she didn't even have the mood to play on her phone.

Leaning back on the sofa, bored out of his mind, Qiao Yifan stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss, Miss." Suddenly, the voice of a waiter sounded next to his ears. Only then did he call the dazed Qiao Yifan back.

"Hmm?" Qiao Yifan looked at the waiter in front of him and gave a quizzical creak.

"Hello, I'll provide you with some pastries." Saying that, the waiter placed the pastries on a small table in front of Qiao Yifan and left.

A thousand levels of durability?

Qiao Yifan's eyes lit up after seeing the Mang Thousand Layer in front of him. His entire attention was focused on the pastries. To a glutton, there was nothing more exciting than having something to eat.

"Hmm …" It was too delicious!

Qiao Yifan gently tasted the food with a face full of satisfaction. He was sure that the deliciousness of the food was not inferior to the Sunshine restaurant that she liked to cook the most.

In the distance, after Lu Qing saw that Qiao Yifan's mood had improved, his mood instantly became clear as well. Only then did he continue chatting with someone without a care in the world.

Time passed minute after minute as the end of the banquet gradually approached …

By the time Editor-in-Chief Xia returned, Qiao Yifan's Landlord had already fought five rounds.

"Ai, so annoying. Looks like there won't be another chance today. Let's meet another day. Let's go." Editor-in-Chief Xia's face was full of worry. He sighed and said gloomily.

"Fine." Qiao Yifan complied with the words of Chief Editor Xia.

Editor Xia waited until the two of them went downstairs before saying to Qiao Yifan, "I'll take you back."

"No need!" Hearing Editor Xia's words, Qiao Yifan immediately rejected them without any hesitation. Since his tone of voice was a little high, he couldn't help but attract an astonished gaze from Editor Xia.

Sensing that he was a bit agitated, Qiao Yifan quickly curled the corner of his mouth and chuckled to Editor-in-Chief Xia. He then softly explained, "Um, someone will come and pick me up, so I won't bother you, Sister Xia."

Editor Xia heard Qiao Yifan's words. She was already in low spirits, so she no longer bothered with this matter. She drove off alone.

After Qiao Yifan saw that Editor Xia had left, he walked towards the side door of the imperial city and prepared to wait there for Lu Qingshen.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lu Qing had actually not come, but Qiao Yifan had actually come as a freak!
