“I said no, and that means no.” Qiao Zhen frowned as well.
Seeing his impatient look, Lu Zheng could only sigh: "Fine, whatever you want."
"Would you like to come back with me?"
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she thought of her revenge, she held back.
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
When the two returned, it was already late at night. Qiao Zhen looked at the bed where they had lived with others and suddenly frowned, saying softly.
Can I sleep in a separate room?
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's expression flashed with suspicion, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Seeing Lu Zheng's bewildered and helpless expression, Qiao Zhen felt a surge of anger, but she still smiled.
"I think it's better to share a bed after we get married."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng remained silent, nodded, and went into the room.
Watching Lu Zheng's departing figure, Qiao Zhen's face curled into a cold smile.
Sure enough, Lu Zheng immediately changed his attitude when the topic of marriage came up.
Look at this, this is the kind of man who talks a good game to her.
Qiao Zhen sneered, curled the corners of her lips, and then went to the guest room she rarely went to.
Although the house is a bit cold, it's sufficient for daily living.
Qiao Zhen sent a message to Chen Yan before going to bed.
"Miss Chen, have you been busy with your divorce lately?"
"Yes, the trial will begin in a few days."
After a while, Chen Yan replied, "Are you coming to support us, Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Zhen's fingers, hovering above the screen, twitched slightly before relaxing again, and she quickly typed a line of text on the screen.
"Oh dear, please don't invite Lu Zheng then."
"This is a bit difficult, after all, he is related to Lu Hang by blood."
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips: "It's alright, I have a way to handle this. I just need to trouble you to make sure that you don't force him to come when he can't make it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan sent a smiling emoji: "Okay."
The next day at work, Qiao Zhen took the initiative to approach her supervisor and got another project.
"Qiao Zhen, you've been working even harder lately. Ever since you took a short break from the company, you've been working even harder than before."
Seeing how hard Qiao Zhen was working, the supervisor couldn't help but praise her.
"Thank you, supervisor." Qiao Zhen smiled sweetly.
The only person in the company who treated her very well from beginning to end was her supervisor.
After finishing all that, Qiao Zhen went to Lu Zheng's office and asked bluntly, "What exactly happened at Cui Yi's company?"
Seeing Qiao Zhen's eager expression, Lu Zheng couldn't help but frown: "You really want to know?"
Qiao Zhen nodded: "Yes, after all, it was a project I initiated."
After saying that, as if afraid that Lu Zheng wouldn't be moved, she couldn't help but step forward and say with a sweet smile, "Mr. Lu, please help me, as your girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but give in and told her the truth.
“Cui Yi’s company did have problems back then. When we signed the project, it was because of your reputation, but I didn’t expect that there would be even more problems after I took over.”
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but frown: "What does this mean?"
"He's hiding more from you than you can imagine."
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In this matter, Lu Zheng really had no reason to lie to Qiao Zhen, but he didn't think Lu Zheng was telling the whole truth.
"Is there any solution?"
Seeing Qiao Zhen's anxious expression, Lu Zheng's brows suddenly relaxed.
"What, in such a hurry?"
Seeing that Lu Zheng was about to act inappropriately again, Qiao Zhen immediately interrupted him: "Yes, it's working hours now, can you be serious for once?"
"Where did I do anything improper?"
Seeing Lu Zheng's expression, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
"So do you have any solutions?"
"There are definitely solutions, but companies like Cui Yi's, which have serious safety hazards, are not easy to deal with."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen understood: "Just state your terms, and I'll go negotiate with him."
"For your sake, I can disregard the cost, but you have to promise me."
Halfway through his sentence, Lu Zheng suddenly moved closer to Qiao Zhen and put his arm around her waist.
"You're not cooperating with him because of him, you're just doing it because you want to reach an agreement."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel speechless.
So this man is still jealous even now.
Although she was internally complaining, Qiao Zhen nodded outwardly.
"I understand. Don't worry, there are so many handsome guys out there, one more won't make a difference."
Lu Zheng frowned deeply: "No, you can't have fantasies about other handsome guys."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but nod and concede, "I understand."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Lu Zheng and met his eyes. Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Was this man really lying to her from beginning to end...?
Thinking about this, Qiao Zhen felt a little upset and was about to leave.
Lu Zheng called out to Qiao Zhen from behind: "Not only does Cui Yi's company have this problem, but his brother is also eyeing this project. If it weren't for my interference, his brother would probably have reported Cui Yi's company long ago."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: "I will pass it on to him."
That evening, when Qiao Zhen sent a message to Cui Yi, she specifically mentioned this matter.
