Beijing Marriage Entanglement

If Lu Xingci were to find someone to replace him, he would hope that person would be Mo Lin.

Whether considering personal ability or personal feelings, Maureen is a good choice.

So when the meeting ended and everyone got up to leave, Lu Xingci invited Mo Lin downstairs for coffee.

She had barely finished speaking when Song Qinghui called out to her.

"Lu Xingci, please stay here. I have something else to discuss with you."

Lu Xingci paused in his tidying up.

Maureen stood up, patted her shoulder, and whispered.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Lu Xingci nodded. "Okay."

After everyone left the meeting room, it suddenly became quiet, leaving only her and Song Qinghui.

Song Qinghui sat upright, looking down at the documents in front of him.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had delicate features, and a high nose bridge.

I was deceived by his gentle and refined gentlemanly appearance, which is why I gave him my heart in vain.

Lu Xingci took a deep breath and turned his head away.

Leaning against the conference table, arms crossed, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the city's towering buildings.

Behind him, Song Qinghui closed the conference room door.

The blinds were all drawn, and the light in the meeting room immediately became much dimmer.

He approached Lu Xingci, his tone as gentle as ever, and unusually began to coax her.

"Okay, okay, let's stop fooling around, alright?"

As he spoke, he took out a magnetic card and placed it in Lu Xingci's hand.

"This is the key to the Moon Bay villa. Didn't you say you liked it when you saw it last time?"

I bought it.

Lu Xingci's fingers tightened, and his heart suddenly contracted.

But the next second, she heard Song Qinghui say.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't go to work. You can tend to the flowers and plants in the villa during the day, and I'll come to visit you after work."

Let's get another dog, and walk it together in the neighborhood after work, okay?

A glint flashed in his eyes, as if he genuinely looked forward to this kind of life.

Unfortunately, this was not what Lu Xingci wanted.

She held the magnetic card and questioned Song Qinghui.

"What does this mean?"

"What?" Song Qinghui frowned.

Lu Xingci sneered.

"Song Qinghui, are you trying to keep me like a caged bird, hiding me away?"

Giving her a villa to live in and giving her a home are two completely different things.

Song Qinghui's intention was clearly to make her his mistress.

A lover whose relationship cannot be made public.

Just like now, he clearly wants to salvage the relationship, but he's terrified of being seen by his colleagues.

Upon hearing this, Song Qinghui frowned and sighed, his patience wearing thin.

"Lu Xingci, what else do you want?"

Don't you just want to be with me?

What is the relationship? Is there a difference?

As long as you're in my heart, and we haven't separated, isn't that enough?

Song Qinghui grew increasingly angry as he spoke, unable to understand Lu Xingci's unreasonable behavior.

Why do you insist that I choose between you and my mother?

If I don't even care about the mother who gave me life and raised me, would you still feel comfortable being with me?

Do you really want me to be a heartless person?

Lu Xingci took a deep breath, his chest heaving noticeably with anger.

Her eyes were red, and she slapped the card hard against Song Qinghui's chest.

"I never asked you to make a choice; you've always been sacrificing me to fulfill your filial piety!"

After saying that, Lu Xingci left without even looking at Song Qinghui's expression.

She stopped when she reached the door.

Without turning around, he said with his back to Song Qinghui.

"Song Qinghui, in the three years I've been with you, I've been completely devoted to you."

But what about you? Do you really have me in your heart?

From the very beginning, you never took this relationship seriously.

After saying that, Lu Xingci opened the door and went out.

To isolate Song Qinghui's voice in the meeting room.

When Maureen saw her coming out from afar, she immediately went to greet her.

"Sister Xingci, what's wrong? Did the boss yell at you?"

Lu Xingci smiled and said, "It's nothing, just some sand in my eye."

Maureen had a vague feeling that there was something going on between Lu Xingci and President Song.

But since Lu Xingci didn't say anything, she didn't expose him.

"Come on, I'll buy you coffee."

Lu Xingci nodded and was led downstairs to the coffee shop by Mo Lin's arm.

The two of them each ordered a latte and sat by the window, chatting as they drank.

When the conversation turned to work, Lu Xingci's usual melancholy vanished.

She handed over all the follow-up work to Maureen in great detail.

Maureen understood that she wanted Maureen to take over the business.

Feeling deeply grateful, he offered to treat her to a meal when she left.

"Please don't refuse me, consider it my way of thanking you for taking care of and nurturing me over the past few years."

You wouldn't believe it, my classmate works as a designer elsewhere, and her team leader treats her like a thief.

Unlike you, Xingci, you're so open and honest with me, always telling me everything you know, as if you're afraid I haven't learned anything.

"It's my good fortune to have Sister Xingci as my boss."

The two chatted for a while before going back upstairs, where they remained busy until their lunch break.

Maureen got up, took off her employee badge, and asked her.

"Sister Xingci, want to have lunch together?"

Lu Xingci smiled and shook his head.

"No, I have an appointment for lunch. You go ahead."

Maureen nodded. "Okay."

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Tang Peiyun.

I've set off; I'll be there in about ten minutes.

To avoid the embarrassment of running into colleagues, I booked a restaurant that was some distance from the company.

Lu Xingci went downstairs to get his car, and Tang Peiyun arrived at the restaurant just as he did.

The two got out of the car, saw each other, and smiled at each other.

"What, you've finally figured it out?"

Tang Peiyun got straight to the point and walked inside with her.

"Well, I just don't know if Sister Tang still has any suitable positions for me."

"It might not apply to others, but it definitely applies to you."

After all, your talent and achievements over the years are undeniable within the industry.

The two chatted as they ate, and Tang Peiyun told her about several clothing companies.

It shows great sincerity, but its brand effect is far inferior to that of JL Apparel under Song Qinghui's name.

This is clearly an attempt to dig up her past achievements and expand her territory.

After finishing the meal, Lu Xingci was still undecided and thought she would talk to her best friend about it when they met that evening.

As she got up to pay the bill and prepare to leave, she bumped into Song Qinghui, who was coming in from outside.

He was accompanied by a tall woman.

The woman had long, wavy blonde hair that cascaded down her back, and her eyes were upturned at the corners, exuding an air of superiority and disdain for others.

The two walked in chatting and laughing, and ran into Lu Xingci.

Song Qinghui paused, hesitated for a second, and then noticed Tang Peiyun beside him, his brows furrowed.

The woman noticed his gaze and looked at Lu Xingci as well.

My first thought was, "So beautiful."

This was immediately followed by a sense of crisis.

A woman's intuition told her that this woman should not be underestimated.

The next second, she narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Song Qinghui with a smile.

"know?"

Song Qinghui withdrew his gaze and replied casually.

"Company employees."

Lu Xingci pursed his lips, addressed Song as "President" in a distant manner, and walked straight past him.

Tang Peiyun quickly followed him out and whispered.

"Now I understand why you've been so devoted to JL for the past three years. Turns out, your CEO Song is so handsome."

These words reached the ears of Song Qinghui and Ruan Chuxi without missing a single one.
