TVCEO Chapter 45.1

Lin Qiao’s actions were swift and decisive, and regardless of what others thought, she successfully brought Su Zhengxing out.

After moving out of a certain range, Su Zhengxing’s body returned to normal. He slowed down and watched Lin Qiao’s back as she desperately grabbed his hand and rushed forward with her head down. A smile curved his lips.

So, the person she had arranged to meet today was Shen Ruxing.

Under the pale moonlight of the streetlights, snow fell heavily. Cars and pedestrians lined the sidewalk, the noise of headlights and engine horns mingling with the howling wind and snow.

Despite the noisy and harsh environment, Su Zhengxing didn’t feel repulsed. On the contrary, he actually enjoyed it. He enjoyed the moment when she held his hand, her palm in his, and it belonged to him alone.

Lin Qiao only let go of Su Zhengxing’s hand after pulling him to a distance of 800 meters from the restaurant. She turned around, intending to find a reason to explain her absurd excuse, but found him looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Lin Qiao’s face flushed instantly, and she stammered awkwardly, “Um… Mr. Su, your car didn’t explode, no, I mean your car is okay, no, it’s just… never mind…”

Unable to explain clearly, she simply stated, “I just felt that you probably didn’t want to stay there just now.”

Even though she was rambling incoherently, Su Zhengxing’s expression still held a smile: “How do you know I don’t want to stay there?”

Lin Qiao choked, unable to explain, and could only whisper, “I just knew.”

“You seem to know me very well?” He said.

This was the second time he had said something like this. The first time was during their chance encounter at the Baitian’s elevator. Back then, it was out of suspicion and a test. But this time, it seemed a little different. He seemed to be a little…happy?

Feeling he wasn’t angry, Lin Qiao relaxed.

“Of course! I’ve carefully noted your habits! For example, you like using fountain pens with a screw-on mechanism because it prevents ink from leaking when it’s screwed on tightly; you don’t like perfume, but you can accept scented tea, and you like the scent of orange blossom; and also, whenever you’re wary of someone or watching someone make a fool of themselves, you like to put one hand in your pocket and squint your eyes…”

Lin Qiao rattled off a bunch of things.

“But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why do you wear glasses when you’re not nearsighted?”

The first time Lin Qiao met Su Zhengxing, he was wearing a pair of transparent, frameless glasses. After that, he rarely took them off, whether at the company or at home. Glasses are a very common thing; if someone wears them, people assume they have vision problems and don’t suspect anything.

“How did you know I’m not nearsighted?” Su Zhengxing’s voice deepened, slightly choked. His glasses obscured his eyes, making his expression unreadable.

Lin Qiao discovered it on New Year’s Eve. His lenses were plano lenses, but she hadn’t paid much attention at the time. Only after reviewing her middle school physics did she remember that plano lenses didn’t have a prescription. She had intended to ask the person in her consciousness, but then she got busy and forgot about it.

“The lenses, you’ve always worn non-prescription glasses, even today.” Lin Qiao said.

She casually took off the frameless glasses perched on his nose to show him.

“See, I told you so.”

No one knew that Su Zhengxing was not nearsighted at all except himself; even Qin Shen, who grew up with him, had never noticed.

He remembered the first time he wore glasses was after a cocktail party. At that time, he had just arrived at the Qin family, and Chairman Qin specially brought him only to the event to introduce him to everyone.

To prove his worth to Chairman Qin, he didn’t dare relax for a moment at that party and almost used all his reserves to deal with the seemingly polite but actually probing questions from those business tycoons.
