Lu Zheng thought that she would return to the city on Wednesday and postpone her work until Wednesday night or Thursday.

The president of the Lu Group is extremely busy. It's already exaggerated enough that he's spent four days with her. I wonder how much work has piled up that he has to finish by Wednesday night.

Once Wednesday was over, Lu Zheng could no longer stay by her side even if he wanted to.

Although their relationship is still complicated and difficult to resolve, they try to see each other as little as possible.

"I'm sorry, I've been worried about Mom's health, so I forgot to tell you." Qiao Zhen pretended to be innocent, rubbed her temples, and stole a glance at Lu Zheng's expression.

He showed no signs of calming down, and his voice was very calm, "I'll go back to the city later, you should get some rest."

Qiao Zhen nodded obediently, silently chanting in her heart, "Let's go, let's go."

Lu Zheng added, "Your back isn't healed yet, so you'll sleep in the guest room tonight. You should have already seen how professional Deng is."

"Yes, yes, I will." Qiao Zhen nodded again, her patience almost worn down by Lu Zheng's nagging.

Lu Zheng reached out and placed his hand on her head, ruffling it. "I'll send you a message. Remember to reply promptly."

"Okay." Qiao Zhen almost wanted to push Lu Zheng out directly.

We can meet the day after tomorrow. Can you please stop making it sound like they're going to be separated for years?

Looking at her beautiful and charming appearance, with her slightly wavy long hair casually tied into a high ponytail, she lacked the maturity of an office worker and exuded a youthful and lively vibe. In particular, her face, which was bathed in sunlight, was fair and slightly glowing. His eyes darkened, and he took half a step forward to approach Qiao Zhen, pinching her chin and lifting it up.

Qiao Zhen had no choice but to look up at the tall man in front of her.

As expected, another deep kiss, seemingly intent on possessing her soul, followed.

"See you next week." Lu Zheng stepped back only when they were both out of breath.

"Hmm..." Qiao Zhen covered her mouth and gasped for breath, her long hair slipping off her shoulders and swaying slowly in the wind.

Those sharp ends of hair tickled Lu Zheng's heart.

He felt that if he stayed any longer, he really wouldn't be able to hold back. After saying goodbye to Qiao's mother in the ward, he strode away.

Qiao Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief; her heavy heart finally felt a little lighter after Lu Zheng left.

She shook her head, temporarily putting her entanglement with Lu Zheng out of her mind, and returned to the ward to accompany Qiao's mother.

I had just finished lunch when the courier company delivered a folding bed.

Folded up, it can be used as a sofa; when unfolded, its comfort far surpasses that of an old bed. Qiao Zhen checked the price through the brand and found it cost over five thousand yuan, which made her gasp.

“This…” She suspected that Lu Zheng bought it.

Nurse Deng pushed the folding bed to the corner and smiled, "This is my bed. I'm used to sleeping on it, so I take it with me wherever I work. You need to be well-rested to work better, right, Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Zhen thought of something else, and Mu Mu nodded and said, "You're right."

Nurse Deng smiled without saying a word and peeled an apple for Qiao's mother.

At that moment, Qiao Zhen's phone screen lit up.

In order to avoid Lu Zheng noticing her contact with Yan Simiao, she deliberately turned off all notification sounds and vibrations.

As she placed small forks on the sliced ​​apple, she casually glanced at the incoming call number.

It's an unfamiliar local number.

"Mom, I'm going out to answer a phone call." She picked up her phone and went into the hallway.

After answering, she was glad she had been so cautious—

"Qiao Zhen, you bitch, you fucking did that on purpose!"

A scream erupted from the receiver like a volcanic eruption, nearly deafening Qiao Zhen, and drawing curious glances from people three to five meters away.

Qiao Zhen quickly ran to the empty, deserted clothes drying platform.

The screaming on the phone continued unabated.

"You outwardly agreed to Song Ruyi's request, pretending to give me the Fuzhou Hospital project, making me think that I had the project and commission all to myself. After working hard for several days, you whispered in President Lu's ear and got him to take back the project, leaving me disappointed!"

Qiao Zhen was surprised. What was Ling Yiyi saying?

How did Lu Zheng manage to take back the Fuzhou Hospital project?

A cold sweat broke out on her back. Did Lu Zheng already know that Song Ruyi had something on her, and that's why he made his move?

Ling Yiyi's curses became even more vicious, "You think it's fun to play me for a fool? You wait, I'll tell Song Ruyi right now to send you to your death!"

Qiao Zhen said coldly, "I have already given you the project as Song Ruyi requested. What happens after that is none of my business. If you are not satisfied, you can go find President Lu."

"You dare to be arrogant even when you're about to die! Heh, I'll wait until you're like a stray dog, kneeling and begging for mercy until your head is bleeding! You're just a shameless bastard!"

The angry shouting stopped abruptly. Ling Yiyi hung up the phone quickly and went to complain to Song Ruyi about Qiao Zhen's shamelessness.

Qiao Zhen recalled Lu Zheng's reactions over the past two days, and apart from his attentive care for her, there was nothing unusual.

His concern for her was merely a desire for her back pain to heal quickly so he could satisfy his lust.

This is very strange.

She immediately contacted her supervisor.

The main person in charge said, "Isn't it because of the rumors that Miss Song and the eldest son of the Cai Group are going to get married? The company attaches great importance to the cooperation with Fuzhou Hospital, so it has handed it over to the team assigned by President Lu to take full responsibility."

"I see?" Qiao Zhen asked. "Will President Lu be personally involved?"

"I don't know, after all, he hasn't been to the company for several days. And the Lu Group headquarters isn't even here." The manager's tone held a hint of longing. "You know, it would be great if we could move to headquarters; the conditions there are fantastic..."

"What about Ling Yiyi?" The supervisor sang eloquently about the Lu Group headquarters, and Qiao Zhen interrupted him after listening for a while, estimating the time, "Her long-awaited project is gone again, she must be very unhappy, right?"
