Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 56 What Would You Like as a Gift? You…

But very quickly, Lu Jinye put her smile away and returned to his usual poise. He ordered indifferently, “Carry on.”

However, the remainder of the meeting was rather pleasant…

After the phone call, Lu Jinye was seemingly in a much better mood. Time seemed to be passing faster this time despite the multiple issues raised by the executives.

Hence, after the meeting, the executives were murmuring in a discussion as they left the meeting room.

“I know the chairman is known for his unforgiving attitude, but it seems to have worsened lately.”

“But something strange happened today, he became much easier after the phone call earlier.”

“Yeah, I wonder who the capable person was that managed to lightened the chairman’s mood…”

Xiao Qingqing stood in a quiet alley as she listened to the murmurs of the executives passing by.

She could hear every single word coming from them. While walking past Xiao Qingqing, the executives glanced at her out of instincts. Those who recognized her greeted her with a nod.

Xiao Qingqing responded out of courtesy, but as they slowly drew away from her, she could hear them gossiping, “I suppose it was Miss Xiao Qingqing, the chairman might have taken her call? Didn’t we hear about chairman splurging on Miss Xiao?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

The words sounded like words of mockery to Xiao Qingqing.

However, the smile on her face became increasingly enigmatic.

She even forced herself to listen to each word coming from them, only setting off to Lu Jinye’s office when they were no longer within the range of her vision.

Lu Jinye had just opened the first page of the file when Xiao Qingqing entered his office.

She stood before his eyes with a light smile, “Jinye, do you remember what day it is today?”

Lu Jinye snuck a glance at the electronic calendar on his desk in between her words, then said, “What would you like as a gift?”

“You… Your time.”
