Chapter 77.
Sunlight streamed in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the solemn and simple office in every detail. Xu Baiqing leaned against the desk, her slender fingers seeming transparent in the sunlight. The black name tag in her hand formed a sharp contrast with her fair skin, making Qian Yirong unconsciously feel a little thirsty.
"As long as you think it's good, my lounge is over here." Qian Yirong looked away a little embarrassedly and changed the subject.
Xu Baiqing put down the name tag in her hand and looked to the right side of the desk as Qian Yirong instructed. If Qian Yirong hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have been able to see anything wrong with this ordinary wall. But because of Qian Yirong's words, she looked carefully and found the hidden door.
Xu Baiqing walked to the door with interest and pushed it gently. The door, which was slightly different from the surrounding walls, was pushed open, and Xu Baiqing saw what was happening inside the room.
Perhaps it is just a place to rest. The room is not too big, but it has everything. In addition to a bed that looks very comfortable, it has a wardrobe and a desk, and even a bathroom, which is probably convenient for washing and changing clothes.
"It's quiet here. You can rest here first. We'll go back together after we're done." Qian Yirong came to Xu Baiqing and said.
"Okay." Xu Baiqing agreed immediately. Perhaps because Qian Yirong had been busy in the company these days, the lounge was filled with Qian Yirong's aura. Xu Baiqing was not at all opposed to waiting here.
"Then I'll get busy. If you have anything, you can come to me or my secretary." Qian Yirong said and went to get busy. She was really busy recently and had to squeeze out time to greet Xu Baiqing.
"Okay, I understand. See you later." Xu Baiqing was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. Knowing that Qian Yirong had something serious to do, he would not force her to accompany him. However, seeing Qian Yirong so busy, the idea of wanting to help her became clearer in his mind.
Xu Baiqing pushed the suitcase aside. She glanced at the closed door behind her, then pursed her lips with a slightly red face. She hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation in her heart and threw herself on the bed.
The soft pillow was filled with the fragrance of Qian Yirong. Xu Baiqing couldn't help but take a deep breath. Before the documents from the Economic Development Zone came down, the Qian family kept a close eye on her because of what happened at the land auction. She didn't even have many opportunities to contact Qian Yirong.
It can be said that the longing that has accumulated in such a short period of time has made her feel anxious and worried. If the document from the Economic Development Zone had not come down in time, she would definitely have found ways to meet Qian Yirong to ease her longing for her.
After all, this period of time was the longest time Xu Baiqing and Qian Yirong had been separated. If she didn't want to disturb Qian Yirong's work, she would have wanted to stay by Qian Yirong's side all the time. However, now in the room filled with Qian Yirong's breath, she could barely be satisfied.
After staying on the bed filled with Qian Yirong's fragrance for a while, Xu Baiqing's excitement finally calmed down. Thinking of the tiredness on Qian Yirong's face and her busy appearance, Xu Baiqing felt a little distressed, so she took out her mobile phone and called Qu Xueer.
"Sister Bai Qing?" Qu Xueer's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Are you free now?" Xu Baiqing asked cautiously.
"It's convenient. Is there anything wrong?" Qu Xueer's tone also became serious.
"I'm here with Rongrong now." Xu Baiqing said.
"Eh? Didn't your side forbid you from contacting Sister Rongrong... Oh, I see." Qu Xueer said her question halfway when she immediately realized that things are different now, just like the old man in her family is still planning to use her to swallow up the land in Qian Yirong's hands.
"Rongrong ignores them, so she wants me to play the emotional card." Xu Baiqing said in a sarcastic tone. He used to avoid Qian Yirong as if she were a plague god, but now, with huge benefits, he is coming up to her with flattering attitude.
"Fortunately, I transferred all my shares to Sister Rongrong, otherwise my family would definitely use this as an excuse to intervene," Qu Xueer said thankfully, but soon added with some concern, "The old man isn't someone who gives up so easily. What's more, the land in the east of the city is so profitable. He will definitely find a way to develop it. You should remind Sister Rongrong."
Qu Xueer was very worried about Qian Yirong's current situation. Although the land in the east of the city had considerable profits, it would take time to reap the benefits from it. However, based on her understanding of the head of the Qu family, he would not give up easily and would always use some means.
"I will remind Rongrong." Xu Baiqing also became serious. She knew that Qu Xueer's worries were groundless. After all, even the Qian family wanted to get a piece of the pie, not to mention the forces like the Mu family and the Qu family.
"Alas, I originally wanted to ask you to see if you could help Rongrong, but now it seems we are too young." Xu Baiqing sighed. Apart from being able to get some inside information because of his identity, he had no way of intervening in the affairs of the business world that Qian Yirong faced.
"Although I don't mind bitching Sister Rongrong, I can't just not help at all." Qu Xueer also agreed with this. She could fully support all of Qian Yirong's decisions, but she couldn't really not help at all.
"Then let's each think about what we can do to help Rongrong as we grow up," Xu Baiqing suggested.
"Okay, if you come up with any good idea, let me know." Qu Xueer agreed.
After finishing the conversation with Qu Xueer, Xu Baiqing felt a little more relaxed. At least he was not really doing nothing. Thinking of Qian Yirong's tired look, Xu Baiqing found a few massage videos as a last-minute effort, intending to learn them well so that he could help Qian Yirong relax after returning.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door. Xu Baiqing had gained a lot of theoretical knowledge about massage. She had watched too many videos and was still a little dizzy. However, the only person who would knock on the door was Qian Yirong, so she immediately opened the door with her eyes lighting up.
"Rongrong, is it over?" Xu Baiqing asked.
"Well, it's over for now," Qian Yirong couldn't hide the tiredness on her face. She said, "How about taking you to the place where we had dinner last time?"
"Are there any ingredients at home?" Xu Baiqing asked.
Instead of letting Qian Yirong drive her out to eat, it would be better for her to go back and cook for Qian Yirong. She would have more time to rest, and Qian Yirong also understood her thoughts from Xu Baiqing's question.
"Yes, yes..." Qian Yirong was a little hesitant. It seemed a bit strange that Xu Baiqing came to her and asked her to cook for him.
"Okay, let's go back." Xu Baiqing interrupted Qian Yirong and made the final decision.
Seeing that Xu Baiqing's expression would not change, Qian Yirong could only nod and the two drove back to the villa. Xu Baiqing saw that Qian Yirong seemed to want to help, so he pushed her down on the sofa in the living room.
"Don't move, let me show you my skills." Xu Baiqing said.
Qian Yirong knew that Xu Baiqing didn't want her to work hard anymore, so she didn't insist on going to the kitchen to help. Xu Baiqing thought that Qian Yirong was already very tired, so he didn't make too complicated dishes. He made a simple home-cooked meal of three dishes and one soup, and prepared to call Qian Yirong for dinner.
When I came to the living room, I saw Qian Yirong leaning on the sofa, breathing shallowly as if she was asleep. The sleeping Qian Yirong no longer had the sharpness that she had when she was awake, and she looked particularly soft. The soft light from the ceiling light cast a shadow on her eyelids.
Xu Baiqing slowly approached and looked at Qian Yirong sleeping with a relaxed body. Her heart softened. She slowly approached Qian Yirong on the sofa, knowing that she had been very busy recently and her meals and daily routine were not regular.
He didn't want her to fall asleep here, but seeing her so relaxed, he couldn't bear to wake her up. Xu Baiqing was caught in a difficult decision for a moment.
Just when Xu Baiqing decided to wake Qian Yirong up and let her eat, take a good shower, change clothes and go to bed, Qian Yirong's cell phone rang. Xu Baiqing subconsciously wanted to silence the ringing phone.
Qian Yirong was awakened by the sound of her cell phone. She reached out her hand in a daze, but instead of touching the phone, she held something cold and soft. She suddenly opened her eyes and found that Xu Baiqing was basically straddling her, and she was holding Xu Baiqing's hand.
Qian Yirong's face turned red all of a sudden. She let go of Xu Baiqing's hand and didn't know how to deal with the situation for a moment. Xu Baiqing didn't expect Qian Yirong to wake up so quickly. She took out her mobile phone from Qian Yirong's "I'll take you" box a little uncomfortably. When she handed it to Qian Yirong, she glanced at the caller ID on the phone.
"Hello..." Qian Yirong took the phone and answered it subconsciously. Her voice was hoarse as if she had just woken up.
Xu Baiqing froze on Qian Yirong's body, feeling somewhat awkward. He didn't know whether he should get off Qian Yirong, but he was also worried that the noise he made would disturb Qian Yirong.
"...Okay, I got it. I'll go to the company to deal with it tomorrow." Qian Yirong replied as if she had heard something on the other end of the phone.
After she hung up the phone, Xu Baiqing got up from her in a panic and stammered to explain, "Dinner is... dinner is ready. I didn't mean to do that just now..."
"I know, don't worry..." Seeing Xu Baiqing's panicked eyes and flushed cheeks, Qian Yirong calmed down instead. After all, the situation just now should have been an accident, so she held Xu Baiqing's waving hands and comforted him.
"Well," Xu Baiqing took a deep breath and calmed down. She said, "Dinner is ready. Let's go eat."
Qian Yirong nodded and came to the restaurant. On the table were three dishes and a soup prepared by Xu Baiqing. The ordinary home-cooked meals brought Qian Yirong the warmth of home at this time. Smelling the fragrance of the food in the air, Qian Yirong looked at Xu Baiqing beside her and felt that all her fatigue seemed to be swept away.
