Chapter 148 Kiss Me
When he arrived at the president's office, Meng Anran's high-level meeting had not yet ended, so Qin Mu went directly to her office to wait.
Xiao Li made him a glass of lemonade and casually said, "Boss Qin, did you have an appointment with Boss An today? She has a pretty full schedule this afternoon."
Qin Mu sighed secretly, "It's okay, I'll just come over and have dinner with her."
No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, right? Even if it's just takeout in the office, or a quick bite in the cafeteria, he just wants to see An Xiaoran.
Normally he wasn't that clingy, and we were all busy with work, so we were actually used to it.
But now the Meng family is still under investigation, and projects in various industries under Ruiming have been blocked. An Xiaoran must be exhausted both physically and mentally as he is unable to cope with all the tasks.
She always likes to hold on, letting her family relax, but taking all the pressure on herself.
He came to see her just to be with her, and to give her a place to complain and relieve stress.
The meeting had just ended. When Meng Anran heard Xiao Li say that Qin Mu was here, she left the meeting room quickly without even taking the documents.
The executives all had auntie smiles on their faces, and Qin Mu was probably the only one in the world who could make President An look hurried and urgent.
Xiao Li quickly packed up all the information and followed Meng Anran.
But before he entered the office, the girl in front of him suddenly stopped and glanced back at him, "Go and do your thing."
Xiao Li paused, then turned around and walked away with understanding.
Meng Anran then pushed the door and entered the office.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered, before I could even see where the person was, I was suddenly pressed against the back of the door.
"Baby." Qin Mu wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist, bent over and buried his face in her neck, "I miss you."
Meng Anran hugged the tall man back and buried half of her face in his shoulder. She smelled his fragrance and her nerves relaxed. "Me too."
Qin Mu slid his hands down the girl's waist, hooked her legs, and picked her up.
Meng Anran also hooked her arms around his neck and hung her whole body on him. After he carried her to the sofa, she sat on his lap.
She lay on the boy's shoulders. His shoulders were broad and his arms were strong and powerful, able to hold her completely in his arms.
The body temperature was transmitted through the thin fabric of the summer clothes, their bodies were pressed tightly together, exchanging heavy heartbeats, feeling each other's dependence and love.
Meng Anran didn't know when she started to like staying in Qin Mu's arms. She felt safe when he held her. She didn't have to be capable and strong to force herself to become Dongfang Bubai. She could take off her hard shell and be a soft person to be cared for by him.
She could think of nothing and rely on him in a relaxed manner, as if there would be someone to support her even if the sky fell.
Qin Mu rubbed the back of the girl's head lovingly, as if she was not 23 years old, but still the two-year-old little princess.
"Thank you for your hard work, baby."
Meng Anran stepped back, looked up at Qin Mu for a few seconds, leaned forward and kissed his lips, "Kiss me."
Qin Mu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he curled the corners of his lips, held the back of her head and kissed her.
An Xiaoran still loves to order people around as always.
But he likes it very much.
…
"Dad, what's the matter?" Lu Heng was sitting in the Jinyu Restaurant drinking tea when he received a rare call from Lu Zhong.
"Have you been looking for your mother? With the power of the Lu Group, wouldn't it be easy to track down someone? It's been two days, and there's no news at all! She's your mother!"
There was a hint of irritation in Lu Zhong's voice. With Bai Yujin missing, all the attention from the outside world was focused on him. Many old friends and partners came to visit him to offer their condolences, forcing him to stay at home every day and unable to go out and have fun.
Hearing Lu Zhong's irritable questioning, Lu Heng was not affected at all. He took a sip of hot tea calmly and said lightly, "Lu Yi is investigating. You issued a ban on the Meng family in the name of the group chairman, which offended Ruiming and Yunduan, two major companies. I'm afraid the Lu family's position in Beijing will be lost in the future."
The implication is: You have created a big hole, and I have to stabilize the situation in the group and fill it for you.
Lu Zhong became even angrier after hearing this. "So what if I've offended them? The Lu Group has a century-old foundation and has always been at the top of the pyramid in the Beijing circle. Ruiming and Yunduan are just small companies that have just started to develop. What can they do to the Lu Group? Lu Heng, I'm warning you, the Lu Group is the empire passed down by the Lu family for six generations. Don't let it be destroyed in your hands!"
Lu Heng pursed his lips and said nothing, with a faint smile in his eyes.
It was indeed ruined in his hands, he ruined it with his own hands.
"Dad, do you know Duan Xi?" Lu Heng asked. He had always been curious about why Duan Xi was so hostile to the Lu family. Maybe it was because of the romantic debts Lu Zhong had incurred outside.
"Who is Duan Xi? I've never heard of him!" Lu Zhong replied quickly and impatiently, not bothering to recall whether he had ever met this person.
He comes into contact with so many women every day. After sleeping with them, he will never see them again. How can he have the time to remember their names one by one?
Lu Heng's eyes darkened, but his voice didn't betray any displeasure. "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. I have a meeting, so I'll hang up now."
He hung up the phone, drank the almost cold tea in the cup, put down the cup and looked at Lu Yi who was lying on the sofa next to him playing games.
"Have you found any clues?"
"Yes, we got the hotel surveillance footage. Someone saw the car that took Bai Yujin away on Qinghui Road, heading towards Jiangbei."
"Jiangbei..." Lu Heng tapped the teacup with his fingertips. After a moment's thought, he said, "Mengrong bought a bare-bones villa in Jiangbei half a year ago, and it hasn't been renovated yet."
The domestic real estate industry has experienced a sharp economic downturn, but land in Beijing is extremely expensive, so even if housing prices fall slightly, they will rebound soon.
Mengrong bought the riverside villa when the real estate market was at its worst, intending to use it for his retirement.
I felt that if I renovated it now, I might not like it later, so I kept it idle and planned to renovate it when I retire.
I bought it more than half a year ago, and it’s still a bare house.
He quit the game halfway through, sat up and lit a cigarette. The white smoke spread in the air, blurring his vision.
"Send me the address."
Lu Heng curled the corners of his lips slightly, picked up the phone with his left hand, operated it with one hand, and sent the address to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi took a deep puff of his cigarette, extinguished the half-burned cigarette in the ashtray, exhaled white smoke and looked at the address, then stood up and walked away with his long legs the next second.
Lu Heng leaned slightly against the back of the chair, holding the teapot with his bony right hand and pouring the tea into the teacup. There was a certain nonchalant dignity in his every move.
He knew very well that Lu Yi, whom Meng Anran hated the most, cared about her more than anyone else.
Family affection or love is not important. They don’t know how to perceive or distinguish. They only know that having a peaceful dream is important.
