Chapter 80 You're just giving me the runaround
Sang Qian kept her word and asked Aunt Li to prepare lunch the next day. Around 11 a.m., she took the lunchbox to the company to deliver lunch to Jin Changyu.
As soon as she stepped into the lobby of the Jin Group, Gao Ze came to greet her, "Madam, you've arrived."
Upon hearing the word "Madam," Sang Qian paused for a moment, but considering that they were at the company, it was understandable that Gao Ze would call her "Madam" in public to avoid the news leaking, even if he knew about her divorce from Jin Changyu.
Seeing that he looked like he was waiting there, Sang Qian assumed that Jin Changyu had sent him to get the food, so she handed him the food box directly.
"Thank you for your help, Assistant Gao."
Gao Ze's eyelids twitched, but he dared not take it, fearing that if he did, the person would run away and he would be unable to explain himself.
"Madam, Mr. Jin is waiting for you upstairs. I'm here to meet you."
He smiled apologetically and gestured for Sang Qian to proceed.
Sang Qian:?
It's not like this is her first time here, do we need to pick her up?
But since Assistant Gao was acting under orders, Sang Qian wouldn't make things difficult for him. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Gao Ze led her upstairs, but instead of going directly to the president's office, he went around to the conference room. Sang Qian was puzzled and was about to ask when she saw the large door of the conference room open and Jin Changyu and a group of people came out.
Jin Changyu walked at the very front.
The person beside him was someone Sang Qian recognized; he was a vice president of the company. The two were talking as they walked this way.
"Mr. Jin, your wife has brought you lunch."
Gao Ze stood in front and spoke to Jin Changyu in a not-so-loud voice.
Sang Qian, "..."
Brother, there's really no need to talk about this in public.
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Ze finished speaking, the group of people in front of him looked at Sang Qian.
Those who knew her all respectfully greeted her as "Hello, Mrs. Jin".
Sang Qian could only smile and nod to everyone, saying, "Hello."
Jin Changyu walked to her side, reached out and took the food box from her hand, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Sang Qian, "..."
The vice president smiled at the two of them, "Mrs. Jin really cares about Mr. Jin. It's not even lunchtime yet, and a loving lunch has already been delivered."
Sang Qian maintained a polite smile on her face, but thought to herself: Who cares about him? I just want to get this over with as soon as possible.
Jin Changyu: "My wife has always been considerate."
It was rare to see Jin Changyu, who was usually serious and reserved, with a bright smile on his face. Several senior executives behind him also rushed forward to say nice things.
"Mr. Jin and his wife are truly a loving couple."
"Mrs. Jin is not only beautiful but also considerate. She and Mr. Jin are a perfect match."
Sang Qian thought that Jin Changyu, with his cold and rigid personality, would not like others talking about his private affairs in the workplace.
Even if all the words spoken are kind.
Unexpectedly, the man seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, his eyes and brows always smiling. After patiently listening to their compliments, he said in a gentle tone, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's all go home early and have lunch."
After saying that, he took Sang Qian's hand and headed towards the president's office.
An employee's voice came from behind, "President Jin and his wife are so loving and pleasing to the eye."
"Didn't you see how happy Mr. Jin's face was just now?"
"Hey, Vice President Zhang, your wife brought you lunch yesterday, but she didn't come today?"
"Yes, you really outdone President Jin today."
"Haha, so it turns out that our company's bosses all love to eat home-cooked meals."
"Yeah, they all have wives who bring them lovingly prepared lunches. We single guys are so envious."
...
The sounds around her gradually faded away. When they reached a secluded spot, Sang Qian pulled her hand away from Jin Changyu's. "Now that the food is here, I won't go in with you."
Jin Changyu looked at her and said, "You only did half of your work. Isn't that a bit irresponsible?"
Sang Qian asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Jin Changyu waved the food box in front of her, "You have to wait until I finish eating and take this back before you can consider your mission complete."
Sang Qian was speechless. "There are only two food boxes. Why don't you just bring them back when you go home?"
If you're too lazy to bring it, you can just have your secretary take care of it.
Jin Changyu: "I feel that your reward is not sincere."
Sang Qian's eyes widened, "How come I didn't..."
"You're just giving me the runaround," Jin Changyu accused.
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Sang Qian forced a smile. "Okay, I'll wait until you've finished eating before washing and putting the dishes away. Is that enough to show my sincerity?"
"Um."
Jin Changyu was satisfied and took her hand again. "Let's go then."
"I can walk by myself."
Sang Qian tried to pull his hand away, but he held it tightly.
"Mr. Jin, hello Madam."
As she passed the secretariat, two secretaries stood up and respectfully greeted her.
Sang Qian stopped struggling and nodded with a smile, "Hello."
Jin Changyu led his men into the office.
He asked her to sit on the sofa, placed the food container on the table, and asked, "Would you like something to drink? I'll have my secretary bring it in."
"Warm water is fine."
Jin Changyu nodded, went to his desk, pressed the intercom to have his secretary bring in warm water, and then started typing on the keyboard, seemingly busy with something. After a while, he walked over to the sofa.
Just then, the secretary knocked on the door and brought in warm water, placing it in front of Sang Qian.
"Madam, here's your warm water."
"Thanks."
The secretary turned and left. Sang Qian picked up her cup and took a sip. When she turned her head, she found the man sitting close to her.
?
Even though the sofa was spacious and there was a single sofa next to it, he still sat right next to her.
"Have you eaten?" he asked.
"I ate." Sang Qian quietly moved to the side.
Jin Changyu, "Really?"
Is it necessary to fabricate this?
She wouldn't sacrifice herself and the baby just to bring him food.
After a few seconds, Jin Changyu asked again, "Did you like the food today? Did you throw up?"
Sang Qian: "No."
Although she didn't vomit, she didn't have much of an appetite today and didn't eat much.
In fact, Jin Changyu knew everything about her meals from Aunt Li.
Seeing that she kept looking down at her phone, he deliberately tried to make conversation, hoping she would talk to him more.
"What food are you bringing me today?" he asked again.
Sang Qian, who was scrolling through videos with her head down, was getting a little impatient. "Why don't you just open it and see for yourself?"
After saying that, she moved away from his noise with a big, disgusted gesture.
"..."
Jin Changyu dared not speak again.
I'm afraid that if she gets upset, she won't even want to stay in the office anymore.
There are two insulated food containers, one for rice and the other for soup.
Jin Changyu opened the lunchbox, laid out the food, and then looked at the woman, asking, "Would you like some more?"
"No, thank you."
She looked down at her phone, seemingly not wanting to disturb his meal.
Jin Changyu could only eat in silence.
About half an hour later, Jin Changyu finished his meal, but he still hadn't touched the soup.
Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and answered, communicating with the other person in a foreign language.
Sang Qian couldn't understand what language it was, but he spoke it very fluently, and his voice was magnetic and steady, making people's ears feel inexplicably soft.
About two minutes later, he ended the call, put away his phone, and said to Sang Qian, "There are some urgent business matters overseas that need to be handled. I have to take an online meeting now, so you'll have to wait until after my meeting to drink the soup."
Sang Qian didn't take it to heart and replied, "Oh."
Jin Changyu took out a box of desserts from under the table. "This is a snack that a customer sent this morning. He said it tastes good. If you're bored while waiting, you can eat something to pass the time."
Sang Qian saw that the box was very exquisite. She hadn't eaten much for lunch, and hearing that it was a dessert made her a little hungry.
"good."
After he went to his desk to start an online meeting, Sang Qian opened the box of desserts.
Inside was a row of delicate light purple spheres, which looked very fresh and appealing.
Sang Qian picked up a taro, took a bite, and chewed it. The rich flavor of taro and cheese spread in her mouth.
The delicate, slightly sour taste is delicious; it's not greasy or nauseating at all, but rather quite appetizing.
Her appetite was immediately whetted.
Jin Changyu sat at his desk, his gaze subtly drifting towards the sofa. He saw the woman eating with a smile on her face, her phone tossed aside.
Seeing this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
