Chapter 17: Lu Xueru’s Jealousy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Xueru’s face stiffened when she heard this. She tightened her grip on her phone.

Propose…?

Brother Sen was going to propose to Lu Qingqiao here!

Si Jingsen had clearly told Lu Xueru that he would not honestly marry Lu Qingqiao! He lied to her!

So, he had come here to propose to her. He didn’t tell Lu Xueru because he feared she would cause trouble?

Lu Xueru’s heart skipped a beat, and she quietly followed the two waitresses.

When she hid behind a pillar and saw the exquisitely decorated scene, she saw Si Jingsen standing in the middle of it with an imposing air. She heard the two waitresses carrying roses over and giving him remarks of good luck.

“Young Master Si, your proposal will surely succeed tonight. No woman wouldn’t be touched by this.”

“I wish Young Master Si and CEO Lu a happy marriage in advance.”

Si Jingsen thanked them with a warm smile.

Lu Xueru gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them!

Brother Sen said that he was busy. Because he was preparing for…the proposal?

Lu Xueru, who was no longer in the mood to walk around, pretended to tell Lu Qingqiao that Si Jingsen was also there when she went to the hot spring in the afternoon.

Lu Qingqiao, while enjoying the hot spring, slowly opened her eyes in the mist. Her beautiful eyes were particularly dazzling as they reflected the floating water.

“Yes, I know. He sent me a message.” The corners of Lu Qingqiao’s lips lifted slightly. A faint smile was hanging on her face.

That smile was particularly piercing to Lu Xueru.

Lu Qingqiao’s personality was cold, and her smile was always so light. But it was so beautiful that it could move one’s soul.

A famous editor-in-chief of a magazine once remarked, “Her smile can topple a city. Another smile might just topple a country.”

Lu Xueru suppressed the jealousy in her heart and smiled even more sweetly. “That’s true. How could Sister not know that Brother Sen is here? I think I saw Brother Sheng Ming just now, but why didn’t I see Brother Sen in the hot spring?”

Lu Xueru felt that Sheng Ming was here just to witness it. Once Si Jingsen’s proposal was successful, Sheng Ming would report it, and the world would know!

“He seems to be busy. He asked me to meet him at the back of the villa later,” Lu Qingqiao said casually.

Si Jingsen was worried she wouldn’t come, so he mentioned Si Huaiyang and said the old man had something for her.

Lu Xueru’s expression was dark when she knew that the back of the villa was the place for his proposal. She was worried that Lu Qingqiao would notice something was wrong with her, so she pretended to turn around to drink some water.

After a while, Lu Xueru could no longer soak in the water and quickly found an excuse to leave.

Lu Qingqiao raised her head and looked at Lu Xueru’s back as she wrapped herself in a bath towel. Her lips curled into a mocking smile.

When she was almost done, she sent a message to Qin Xun.

Qin Xun had come out with Sheng Ming.

Sheng Ming was a well-known handsome man on the list. However, Qin Xun’s tall figure standing next to him was even more outstanding.

His entire body was shrouded in water vapor, and his hair was not as fluffy as usual. His wet hair was pushed to the back of his head, revealing his forehead and making him look particularly unruly.

If one could ignore his flushed cheeks.

Lu Qingqiao stared at him for a few seconds, then said, “Go and dry your hair.”

“Yes.” Qin Xun nodded.

Sheng Ming was wearing a bathrobe that revealed a large part of his chest. He stood before Lu Qingqiao, but she did not dare look at him.

“Beauty Lu, you have to dote on me too.” Sheng Ming’s flirtatious words came out without hiding anything.

“You need to exercise more with your body,” Lu Qingqiao commented in all seriousness.

Then, he heard Lu Qingqiao throw a knife at him.

“After all, you’re getting old.”

Sheng Ming was speechless.

He wanted to tell Lu Qingqiao how many women were fascinated by his figure. But when he thought of how good Qin Xun’s figure was, he snorted, pulled his hair, and said, “I’m going to dry my hair too.”
