Seeing Qiao Zhen staring at their departing figures, Lu Zheng smiled and said.

"What? You like children?"

She shook her head and sighed, "No, it's just that I feel that the mother and son get along very well and harmoniously, much better than others."

"Your parents treat you badly?" Lu Zheng glanced at her and asked in return.

"No, my parents are very good to me. You could say they have given us all the love they could."

Thinking of her parents, Qiao Zhen's face softened, and her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Seeing her like this, Lu Zheng smiled gently.

He knew, of course, that Qiao's parents had treated them very well; it would have taken a lot of pampering to raise her to be the way she was before.

"You..." Qiao Zhen was about to ask if Lu Zheng's parents treated him badly.

Suddenly, she remembered that Shen Yan had deliberately mentioned some things about Lu Zheng's past in order to provoke her.

He actually had a very difficult childhood, and he probably envied this kind of atmosphere more than she did.

To avoid upsetting Lu Zheng, Qiao Zhen didn't continue the topic.

"Look over there, it looks like someone is fishing, it looks like a lot of fun."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Qiao Zhen waved her arms and unintentionally noticed someone fishing in the artificial lake not far away. She awkwardly changed the subject.

Noticing this, Lu Zheng didn't expose her, and continued the conversation along with her.

On a whim, the two even ran over to watch people fishing.

At first, she was just watching quietly, but in the end, Qiao Zhen even started talking to the person.

Lu Zheng thought that if she weren't genuinely uninterested in fishing, she would have already made plans to go fishing with others.

It was already past seven o'clock when I got home. By then, the sun had already set, leaving only its afterglow.

After taking a shower, Qiao Zhen sat on the bed, looking at the data on the tablet, pondering what to do next.

When Lu Zheng came out of the bathroom, he saw Qiao Zhen sitting cross-legged in loose pajamas.

Her pajamas collar was askew, and as she looked down at her tablet, the collar drooped down, giving him a clear view of her from his angle.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng stopped drying his hair.

He slowly approached Qiao Zhen with a towel in his hand. When Qiao Zhen sensed someone getting close, she looked up at him but didn't pay any attention.

She turned her head to look at Lu Zheng after he sat down next to her.

When she met his dark eyes, Qiao Zhen felt a surge of heat in her heart and wanted to look away.

Lu Zheng didn't give her that chance. He hugged Qiao Zhen and pressed his lips to hers precisely.

Qiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then tried to push him away. Lu Zheng didn't give her the chance, holding her tightly in his arms, preventing her from struggling.

Looking at Lu Zheng lying in front of her, Qiao Zhen, still half-asleep, said, "Tomorrow is Monday..."

She couldn't say the rest of her words; Lu Zheng swallowed them back.

Fortunately, Lu Zheng listened to advice and didn't stay up too late.

When she regained consciousness, Qiao Zhen glanced at the time.

It's 1 a.m., I should be able to get up and go to work.

In the morning, Qiao Zhen was woken up by Lu Zheng. She looked at Lu Zheng with sleepy eyes.

"Get up, you sleepyhead, time for breakfast and work." Hearing that it was time to go to work, Qiao Zhen instantly woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zheng's handsome face, then glanced at the time.

It's eight o'clock, there's still time.

It only took her half an hour from getting up to leaving the house.

As Qiao Zhen sat down with Lu Zheng, she was still panting heavily.

This timeframe is absolutely too tight!

Seeing the two of them enter the company together, Song Siyi looked at her with a gossipy expression.

Qiao Zhen glared at her, signaling her to hurry up and get to work.

Not long after starting work, Qiao Zhen received a message from Song Siyi.

"Qiao Zhen, look!" followed by a screenshot.

Qiao Zhen clicked on the link and found that a stranger had tagged her on Weibo, inviting her to attend her wedding and specifically asking her to bring her boyfriend.

Upon seeing this screenshot, Qiao Zhen was somewhat bewildered. Who was this person? She didn't seem to recognize him.

She opened a webpage and searched for the name Liu Yue. When she saw her friend "Pondering" in her relationship list, she understood.

It's no wonder he's such a thoughtful friend; they have the same way of doing things.

She had never even met this person before, let alone been close enough for them to attend her wedding.

She opened the app and found that Liu Yue's post had already made it to the top of the trending topics list.

Lu Zheng was also in the spotlight.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, Qiao Zhen had a bad feeling.

Clicking in, I saw everyone discussing whether Qiao Zhen was Lu Zheng's boyfriend, and also what Lu Zheng had gone through last time.

Then there's Lu Zheng breaking off his engagement with Shen Yan for Qiao Zhen's sake.

Seeing the three hot numbers, Qiao Zhen was speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been on the show, Qiao Zhenzhen would have preferred to pretend she didn't see it.

"I know you're watching, so you absolutely have to come!"

Qiao Zhen was thinking to herself when she saw Liu Yue's newly updated content.

"Do you really want to curse?" Song Siyi was also paying attention to this matter, watching Weibo while also following Qiao Zhen.

"Is there something wrong with her? I don't even know her, yet she tagged me on social media."

Could it be that her friend harmed her, and she wants to avenge Shen Si?

Qiao Zhen thought this was quite possible, after all, it was her thoughtful friend. Besides, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Unable to figure out what Liu Yue was up to, Qiao Zhen simply stopped replying and pretended to be dead.

"Our CEO said that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can invite his girlfriend to the wedding."

Just as Qiao Zhen was pretending to be dead, a reply that appeared to be issued in the name of the Lu Group went viral.

This reply not only crashed the internet, but also paralyzed their office; everyone, regardless of gender, felt like they had just experienced a breakup.
