Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng shook his head after hearing this: "It has a different meaning. Now that your results are out, we naturally have to pick out a new gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luosheng couldn't help but get excited: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why don't we go out now and see if there's anything you like?"
Lu Zheng smiled.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qiao Zhen quickly grabbed Lu Zheng's hand and said with a smile, "Um... Luo Sheng, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. Don't keep bothering Brother Lu."
"It's nothing, just a gift." Lu Zheng turned to look at Qiao Zhen, a sly glint in his eyes.
Qiao Zhen looked at Qiao Luosheng, somewhat speechless.
Now it's her fault.
"No, sis, this was given to me by Brother Lu, it has a different meaning."
Seeing that Qiao Luosheng had said so, Qiao Zhen naturally had no choice but to agree.
"Let's go buy it now," Lu Zheng suggested.
They naturally had no interest in it and were excitedly getting up to pack and prepare to leave.
But Qiao Zhen felt that it wasn't that simple, and whispered, "Lu Zheng, don't try anything funny."
"Qiao Zhen, you overestimate yourself and your family. What tricks could I possibly be playing?"
Lu Zheng scoffed and left the house.
Qiao Zhen sighed and could only hurry after him.
Lu Zheng was a very good driver and quickly took them to the mall. Qiao Luosheng got out of the car excitedly and looked around the mall.
"Buy whatever you want, it's all on me." Lu Zheng smiled, looking like a gentle older brother.
"Thank you, Brother Lu!" After hearing this, Qiao Luosheng went into a crazy shopping spree, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Even Qiao's mother couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhenzhen, you've really found a good boyfriend."
Qiao Zhen's face darkened, and she glared at Lu Zheng with some resentment. But Lu Zheng seemed oblivious and smiled gently at her.
After shopping for a while, Qiao Luosheng realized that he had bought enough, so he stopped and took Lu Zheng's black card to pay.
Looking at the large bags and packages he was carrying, Lu Zheng felt a little embarrassed: "Luo Sheng, you bought too much stuff..."
"It's nothing, just a small amount of money." Lu Zheng ruffled Qiao Luosheng's hair, seemingly unconcerned about it.
After shopping, everyone returned to the car. Qiao Luosheng mysteriously took out a box and slowly opened it under Qiao Zhen's questioning gaze.
Are they a pair of necklaces, or even a couple's set?
Before Qiao Zhen could react, Qiao Luosheng had already mysteriously slipped the necklace into Qiao Zhen's and Lu Zheng's hands respectively.
"Sis, even though it was bought with Brother Lu's money, I still want to express my blessings to you two."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen got goosebumps all over and glanced at Lu Zheng awkwardly.
Lu Zheng, however, put on a pleased expression: "The necklace is very beautiful, thank you."
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen had no choice but to put on the necklace.
The group returned to the Qiao family home, where Lu Zheng explained that he was busy with official business and needed to return to the company to handle matters.
They also picked up Qiao Zhen along with her.
"President Lu has just recovered from his injuries and is already back at work. It must be so hard for him."
In the car, Qiao Zhen said sourly.
Lu Zheng smiled and did not refute her words.
While Qiao Zhen was still wondering why Lu Zheng wasn't refuting her, she noticed that the car's trajectory was different from usual.
This isn't the route back to the company!
"Where are you taking me?" Qiao Zhen frowned and looked around warily.
"What, is this your first time at my house?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow. They had arrived at the villa by then. Lu Zheng turned off the engine and pulled Qiao Zhen out.
"Aren't you going to handle work, Mr. Lu?" Qiao Zhen was in pain from his pulling and glanced at him.
"No, I just got out of the hospital and my injuries haven't fully healed yet. You take care of me."
“But my job…” Qiao Zhen felt a headache coming on when she thought about the project she had negotiated with Gu Xijue before.
Lu Zheng naturally thought of the Jazz Group as well, and his face darkened even more: "I'll still give you ten times the overtime pay as usual."
After saying that, Lu Zheng didn't care whether Qiao Zhen heard him or not, and strode away.
Qiao Zhen could only stomp her foot in place before quickly catching up.
Previously, every time I went into his private villa, it was for the same things; this was the first time I had carefully examined his villa.
It must be said that Lu Zheng has good taste; the interior decoration is minimalist, which suits Qiao Zhen's aesthetic.
"What are you looking at? Come here."
While he was still in a daze, Lu Zheng, who was not far away, beckoned to Qiao Zhen, signaling him to come over.
Qiao Zhen blinked, and although unwilling, she could only shuffle over with small steps.
"What does Mr. Lu need?" Qiao Zhen asked in a calm tone.
Lu Zheng frowned at his slightly unfamiliar tone and couldn't help but hug Qiao Zhen, wanting to press her down.
"Mr. Lu, is this all you're interested in?"
Seeing that Lu Zheng was about to repeat the same old thing, Qiao Zhen lost her patience and looked directly into Lu Zheng's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng paused in his actions: "Are you talking back?"
"I don't dare, I just want Mr. Lu to try something different."
One thing after another had left Qiao Zhen feeling exhausted. Since Lu Zheng didn't intend to have a future with her, she didn't need to compromise herself like this.
After a while, Lu Zheng shook her off and simply ordered, "Since that's the case, then go to the kitchen and cook a meal to serve me well."
Qiao Zhen naturally didn't linger, as she was more than happy to keep a certain distance from Lu Zheng.
When I got to the kitchen, I saw the nanny washing vegetables, so I went over and said, "Let me do it."
The nanny quickly waved her hand: "Miss Qiao, this is what I should do, you don't need to worry about it."
