Chapter 2661 - 465: My Girl, Your Desire for Money Is a Bit Much
[Thank you for helping me request leave.]
Bai Qingling deleted the first message she edited for the first time.
She edited it again for the second time and sent it out just as she walked to the villa’s gate.
She put away her mobile phone.
Raising her head, she saw a man leaning against the Land Rover outside the villa, and she instinctively blinked.
She wasn’t seeing things.
The man’s tall figure cast a slanting shadow in the sunset’s afterglow, with exquisite features and gentle eyes.
At first glance, he was as handsome as a painting.
Bai Qingling stopped in her tracks for a full five seconds.
Across a few meters, her gaze met Chu Junming’s outside.
She gently pressed her lips together.
He smiled warmly at her, glanced at the message on his phone, then raised his phone towards her.
Bai Qingling stepped forward, out of the villa, and walked towards him.
"I didn’t expect the driver Momo mentioned to be you."
They hadn’t seen each other for a few days, feeling somewhat unfamiliar.
Chu Junming smiled, "I’m a free driver."
After saying this, he opened the car door for Bai Qingling, gesturing for her to get in.
Bai Qingling bent over and got into the car, saying "Thank you," and watched Chu Junming close the car door, walk around the car body, and sit in the driver’s seat.
After getting in the car, Chu Junming didn’t immediately fasten his seatbelt but turned to look at Bai Qingling who had just buckled hers, "I heard Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo went on a trip?"
"Yes, they left this morning."
Bai Qingling nodded, lazily leaning against the back of the chair.
Finding a comfortable position, she turned her head to look at Chu Junming, "You..."
Just as she said a word, Chu Junming’s phone rang.
It was his secretary calling.
Chu Junming’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, as Bai Qingling heard his phone ring, she didn’t continue to speak.
Let him answer the call first.
Pressing the answer button, Chu Junming said a faint "Hello," even with miles apart, the secretary far away in the Imperial City felt her boss’s displeasure, her heart leaping.
"President, are you in Haochen now?"
The secretary’s voice carried respect with a hint of nervousness and stiffness.
Chu Junming discerned this, in his sight, Bai Qingling was browsing her phone with lowered eyes.
He didn’t answer but asked instead, "What’s the matter?"
"It’s like this, President, your mother and sister came to the company, knowing you went on a business trip to G City, they’re very concerned about you..."
"Tell them I’ll be back tomorrow."
After saying this, Chu Junming hung up the call.
Bai Qingling looked up from her phone and met Chu Junming’s gaze, her eyes flashed, "Ready to go?"
"What were you about to say just now?"
Chu Junming didn’t rush to leave.
His exquisite features displayed a leisurely laziness, looking at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Bai Qingling blinked, "I forgot after you answered the call."
"Okay, tell me when you remember."
"..."
Bai Qingling nodded, continuing to look down at her phone.
The car got on the road, moving quite slowly.
"Is Momo and your elder brother just starting to cook dinner?"
A few minutes later, Bai Qingling put away her phone, slightly turned her body, looking at Chu Junming’s handsome profile.
Chu Junming thought she was asking just for the literal meaning, he turned to glance at her and answered truthfully, "When I came to pick you up, they were just starting to cook."
"No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
Chu Junming raised an eyebrow.
Then he saw Bai Qingling’s beautiful eyes brighten, she teasingly said, "You drive so slowly."
He was taken aback for a moment.
He gave her a thumbs up, "You figured it out, I was actually aiming to arrive later, so I wouldn’t have to help with dinner."
"Did Feng Yize come too?"
Bai Qingling chuckled, changing the topic.
"No, he’s busy with work."
"..."
Then your company must be quite idle.
What Bai Qingling wanted to say, she held back again.
He helped her this afternoon, she should be kind.
A few minutes later, Chu Junming took the initiative to explain, "Ziyi said he’s overwhelmed, so I brought a few people over, if you’re not feeling well, don’t rush to work, take a few more days to rest at home."
"Isn’t that bad, wouldn’t Brother Ziyi want to kill me?"
The light smile in Bai Qingling’s eyes was replaced with surprise.
Could it be, Mo Ziye only gave her half a day off?
Even though she wanted to slack off, even more during her period, she hadn’t thought about taking a few days off.
Now, Chu Junming means she can take a few days off.
It sounds a bit unrealistic.
Chu Junming was amused by her words, especially by her adorable expression.
His hand involuntarily moved while holding the steering wheel, suppressing the urge to reach out and pat her head.
Pretending to ponder.
After a moment, he said seriously, "He shouldn’t, after all, in three months you’ll be worth billions, if you get mad and fire him, it’d be such a loss."
Bai Qingling, "I almost believed you."
She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
The car speed was indeed slow.
However, at this pace, enjoying the scenery seemed nice. Though she grew up in this city, apart from walking slowly, driving only seemed as slow as a turtle crawl when in traffic.
Most of the time, during traffic jams, one is irritable, seldom in the mood to appreciate the scenery.
"You can believe it."
Before reaching Momo’s house.
Qingling’s phone rang.
Seeing Mo Ziye’s call, Qingling looked at Chu Junming.
Chu Junming turned his head, his gaze sweeping across her phone screen, indicating she should answer.
"Hello, Brother Ziyi."
Bai Qingling’s voice was soft and sparkling, sounding not very energetic.
On the phone, Mo Ziye listened to her tone, furrowing his brows, "Are you still sleeping, or feeling unwell, sounding weak?"
"Ah, not sleeping."
"Is your stomach still hurting? Are you home alone?"
"Yes."
"My mom might come to see you later, if you’re unwell, don’t come to work tomorrow, wait a few days until you recover."
"...Is that okay? The company is so busy, I’ll feel guilty."
Bai Qingling spoke apologies, but she was already blooming inside.
"Don’t worry, the company won’t collapse with you resting for a few days, Chu Junming lent us a few people, allowing you to slack off for a few days."
Mo Ziye was very generous, Bai Qingling looked at Chu Junming.
Meeting his gaze, she gave a grateful smile.
"Chu Junming, thank you, if you hadn’t lent people to Brother Ziyi, he wouldn’t have allowed me to rest for a few days."
After hanging up, Bai Qingling thanked Chu Junming.
Chu Junming smiled, in an indifferent tone, "No need to be so desperate, if you want to rest, just rest."
"Yeah, you’re right, in a few months, I’ll also have billions in balance."
"Billions in balance?"
Chu Junming raised an eyebrow, "My girl, your pursuit of money is quite high."
