When she knocked on the door next door, Su Zhengxing had already recovered and was working. The alliance between Minghong, Shirun, and Qiongyu had caught him completely off guard, and he needed to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Qiao, with a pale face, forced a smile at him and handed him a bottle of salt soda.
“I heard that people… need to replenish some salt.”
Su Zhengxing had already rested. After returning to the hotel, he, like Lin Qiao, had showered and changed into loose, comfortable loungewear. His soft hair hung down, and he looked much more energetic.
Although the past events were still vivid in his mind, he still reached out and took the bottle of salt soda from Lin Qiao.
“There’s no laxative in there, right?”
Lin Qiao covered her face, unable to lift her head, her voice barely a whisper, “No.”
It was clear that she was ashamed.
Actually, Su Zhengxing wasn’t angry. He just couldn’t understand why Lin Qiao had given him laxatives and ended up getting herself involved.
If Lin Qiao could hear his thoughts, she would definitely answer: It was because she was stupid…
“Have you had dinner?” He asked.
Lin Qiao hadn’t noticed anything until he mentioned it, but her stomach started growling as soon as he mentioned it, since there was only a bottle of salt soda left in there.
“Not yet.” She shook her head twice, head down.
“Come in.”
He stepped aside and closed the door.
On the dining table in the living room were two dinners delivered by the hotel, both of which were nutritious and easy-to-digest porridge, noodles, and fruit.
“I was just about to come find you, but since you’re here, let’s eat together now.”
He sat down at the table without holding a grudge and handed Lin Qiao chopsticks.
Lin Qiao took the chopsticks with embarrassment and then finished the bowl of noodles in a few bites. Still feeling unsatisfied, she showed off a plate of fruit.
Watching her wolf down her food, Su Zhengxing chuckled and handed her a tissue.
“Is this enough? If not, you can have this too.”
After finishing the last strawberry on the fruit plate, Lin Qiao took the tissue, wiped her face, and resumed her earlier embarrassed state.
“That’s enough.”
Su Zhengxing put down his chopsticks as well, rested his elbows on the table, and asked softly, “So, can you tell me why you did that today?”
He asked in a very soft voice, as if afraid that Lin Qiao would feel uncomfortable if she thought he was interrogating her, and his voice was somewhat coaxing and persuasive.
Now that things had come to this, Lin Qiao had no choice but to lower her head, fidgeting with her hands, and honestly confess, “I…I didn’t want you to go see Shen Ruxing.”
“Shen Ruxing?”
Su Zhengxing was stunned. What did this have to do with Shen Ruxing?
But he quickly realized that Shen Ruxing seemed to be by his side when he went to find Tan Siming during the day.
“Just because of that?”
He was both annoyed and amused, finding it absurd yet also feeling a surge of happiness. So she was jealous.
“I’m sorry.” Lin Qiao lowered her head even further and apologized sincerely.
Su Zhengxing suppressed a smile, reached out, and ruffled her hair, explaining softly, “Silly girl, I wasn’t going to find Shen Ruxing.”
Lin Qiao looked up, her big, dark eyes full of questions: “But didn’t you say you saw someone important?”
Su Zhengxing chuckled, “Yes, Tan Siming. The Tan family has a very good relationship with the leaders who are promoting the Green Home initiative, so he is very important.”
“Huh?”
Lin Qiao’s face immediately fell. She’d made a misunderstanding!
