Chapter 15: His Proposal

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qin Xun whispered. “A friend who studies Chinese medicine. He’s quite reliable. I can’t go to the hospital, so he’s the one who sees me. He also gave me these medicines.”

He further explained. “He also realized there was a problem with the medicine last time. He’s quite scared and will pay more attention to it now.”

Lu Qingqiao’s heart softened at his words. Her eyes also softened when she thought about how he had to earn to cover his living expenses and school fees and how he refused to go to the hospital to save money when he was sick.

Judging from his words, he trusted the person who gave him the medicine so much. The medicine last time should not have been intentional.

He was just a poor student. What could others do to him?

For this face?

Lu Qingqiao saw that he looked serious. But his face and nose were red, and his eyes were wet from his cold. She couldn’t help but touch his head.

Qin Xun was speechless.

This was the first time someone had dared to touch his head!

Lu Qingqiao touched it lightly and retracted her hand. She said thoughtfully, “Go and rest. You can go to the hot spring when you feel better.”

Qin Xun, who felt like he had been tricked, nodded. “Yes.”

Lu Qingqiao was smoking a cigarette on the balcony when she heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, she saw a tall, handsome man with a peach blossom face. She lowered her voice and said, “Let’s talk outside. ”

Sheng Ming raised his eyebrows and watched her take the room card quietly and close the door. His peach-shaped eyes were teasing. “You adore your young boyfriend so much?”

“What are you doing here?” Lu Qingqiao looked up at him.

Sheng Ming was in charge of the largest entertainment company in the country, Shengtian Entertainment. He was famous for being a playboy and was involved with all sorts of women.

Sheng Ming and Lu Qingqiao had known each other since they were young. When he had seen the young man Lu Qingqiao had brought to Lu Xueru’s birthday party, he had thought the same as Si Jingsen. She had done it to spite Si Jingsen.

After all, he knew that Lu Qingqiao and Si Jingsen had been together since high school. If it weren’t for the Lu family’s series of mishaps, the two of them would have publicly announced their engagement and would have been married by now.

But now, he felt that he was wrong.

How could Lu Qingqiao, known as the cold and heartless queen of the business world, act so naturally in love?

He had overestimated her.

“I came to talk to a client yesterday.” Sheng Ming’s sternness did not last for more than three seconds.

“You can stay and soak in the hot spring with a beautiful woman.”

Lu Qingqiao looked coldly at Sheng Ming’s hand, which was about to touch her shoulder. Sheng Ming tactfully retracted his hand and narcissistically adjusted his collar. “Let’s go to the café downstairs. I have something important to tell you.”

******

In the cafe.

After hearing Sheng Ming’s important story, Lu Qingqiao stirred her coffee and said calmly, “If he wants to propose, then so be it.”

It was up to her to decide whether he would get what he wanted.

“Will you accept it?” Sheng Ming was curious.

He had accidentally discovered that Si Jingsen had arranged a proposal to Lu Qingqiao when he had come over the other day. As someone who had never minded watching a show, he had come over to tell Lu Qingqiao when he had seen her with Qin Xun.

Looking at her reaction now, she didn’t seem like someone who was about to receive a proposal.

Si Jingsen’s marriage seemed likely unsuccessful, and he was pretty happy about it.

Many people thought that Lu Qingqiao and Si Jingsen were a good match. But he, Sheng Ming, had never thought that Si Jingsen was matched for Lu Qingqiao.

“Do you honestly want to see Si Jingsen fool himself?” Lu Qingqiao asked.

“Yes.” Sheng Ming did not deny it.

“You don’t seem to like him. Why?”

Since they were in school, Sheng Ming had been indifferent to Si Jingsen. Although everyone gathered together now, Sheng Ming basically didn’t have any contact with Si Jingsen. And the cooperation between the two companies was rare.
