Sheng Ming raised his chin and half-jokingly said, “Because he snatched you away.”

Without waiting for Lu Qingqiao to shoot him a look, he explained, “You know that’s what I do. The messier it is, the more I like it.”

Under Shengtian Entertainment, Shengtian Media was the top gathering place for gossip in the industry. Even if they didn’t have anything, they could still make some noise to attract people’s attention.

As the person in charge of Shengtian Entertainment, Sheng Ming’s sensitivity was first-class.

Previously, Lu Qingqiao had brought her boyfriend to her birthday party. And now, Si Jingsen secretly arranged a proposal.

This matter was juicy enough no matter how one looked at it!

“However, as a friend, I honestly want to know what’s up with your young boyfriend,” Sheng Ming asked.

“Don’t you already know?” Lu Qingqiao sipped her coffee.

When she brought Qin Xun to meet them, they had already heard about Qin Xun’s background at the fastest speed possible.

“It’s one thing for me to know, but it’s another for you to tell me personally. As your good friend, isn’t it better for you to give me this first-hand information?” As Sheng Ming spoke, he didn’t forget to raise his eyebrows at the beautiful woman who came in from the coffee shop. He made her blush.

Lu Qingqiao sipped her coffee languidly and said, “I’ve prepared a great gift for you as a token of my gratitude.”

Sheng Ming was very interested and asked, “Oh? What is it?”

Lu Qingqiao beckoned him over with her finger. Even with her queen-like demeanor, she looked elegant and beautiful in this position.

Sheng Ming leaned over and carefully listened as if willing to submit.

After hearing that, Sheng Ming smiled meaningfully. “What a great gift. Let me, an experienced person, do this. Just wait.”

Lu Qingqiao didn’t stand at the ceremony with him. After all, Sheng Ming was right. He had a lot of experience in this.

Sheng Ming looked at her carefully again and said sharply, “You seem to be a little different from before.”

“Yes,” she replied with a smile.

She was indeed different.

Lu Xueru prepared everything in her room and went to Lu Qingqiao’s room to look for her.

In the past, when she went out with Lu Qingqiao, Lu Qingqiao would always give her a room card. However, Lu Xueru wasn’t sure if it was because she had brought Qin Xun along this time that she didn’t give her one.

She rang the doorbell a few times, but no one answered. When she called Lu Qingqiao, she heard her mention a cafe, so Lu Xueru quickly went down to look for her.

Sheng Ming had already left. Lu Xueru sat across from Lu Qingqiao and ordered a cup of coffee. She discussed taking the tour bus after lunch and going to the hot spring later as there were activities to play with at night.

“He’s sick,” Lu Qingqiao said. “I want to accompany him. You can go by yourself.”

Lu Xueru could only watch Lu Qingqiao leave with pity. Then, she contacted Si Jingsen and asked if he had arrived and wanted to see him. Si Jingsen said he was busy and would talk to her when he was free.

She knew Si Jingsen would be coming, but she didn’t know that he was preparing a proposal to Lu Qingqiao.

However, Lu Xueru found out soon. While taking a walk at the resort, she heard two waitresses holding large bouquets of roses and chatting enviously.

“If someone were to put in so much effort to propose to me, I’d surely accept it. Young Master Si is so good at it. I’m so envious of CEO Lu.”

“Shush, lower your voice. Young Master Si has instructed us not to spread this news. He’s waiting to give CEO Lu a surprise tonight. Young Master Si is not only handsome, but he’s also so romantic. Let me tell you a secret. I heard that Miss Yu from F jewelry personally designed Young Master Si’s proposal ring. It’s one of a kind.”
