How did you two meet?
"We met through playing games. I've known her for about three or four months... Today is the first time I've met her in person."
Jiang Duoduo thought Qin Jue wanted to have a serious talk with her about Lin Yun, but now it seems they're talking about Qin Xue.
Qin Jue picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Meeting with an online friend, you've got some nerve."
"No, it's not that. I'm just very timid," Jiang Duoduo tried to explain herself. If Qin Xue hadn't asked her to meet at Shengmao Mall, she definitely wouldn't have dared to meet her.
After Jiang Duoduo finished speaking, the man erupted in anger, slammed his fist on the table, and stood up, shouting, "You coward, yet you meet people you met online?"
After the man finished yelling, the office fell silent.
Jiang Duoduo couldn't understand what Qin Jue was up to, and stared at him blankly, looking completely bewildered.
Seeing the little woman's frightened look, Qin Jue's coldness faded. He stood up and coaxed her, "From now on, you're not allowed to meet any shady online friends. Even if you do, you have to report to me."
Qin Jue's words gave Jiang Duoduo the illusion of a parent scolding a child, and she subconsciously nodded, "I understand..."
The man continued, "From now on, you must refuse anyone who touches you, no matter who they are, understand?"
"oh."
Perhaps Qin Jue's current unusual behavior is simply because he's afraid of losing her as his source of emotional support at the dinner table, which is why he cares about her so much?
That must be it.
Then, Jiang Duoduo watched as Qin Jue picked up the dozen or so custom-made bags from the table and walked towards her step by step. "Since these are gifts from Lin Yun, you should keep them safe."
...
Outside the office.
Qin Xue stood at the window in the corridor, answering the phone, "I'll talk to you later."
"Okay. That's it, I'm hanging up."
She hung up the phone and turned around. The sight of Assistant Chen standing in front of her startled her. She said coldly, "Chen, you lackey, what do you mean? Eavesdropping?"
"No, that's not true." Assistant Chen coughed twice. "President Qin asked me to inform Miss that she should leave on her own."
Where is Duoduo?
"Jiang Duoduo and President Qin have already left."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue slightly curled the corners of her lips and raised an eyebrow at Chen Xin, "It seems your boss really cares about Duoduo."
Assistant Chen wore a fake smile and didn't answer. He turned and left.
Downstairs from the company building.
Jiang Duoduo and Qin Jue walked one after the other on the zebra crossing.
After sending a WeChat message to Qin Xue, Jiang Duoduo received no reply for a long time and was still a little worried. "Is my friend really gone? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The man who was walking faster than Duoduo paused upon hearing the question, turned his head, and said coldly, "Why would I lie to you?"
"No, I...I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you." Jiang Duoduo slowed her pace, lowered her head, and admitted her mistake.
For some reason, she still felt that Qin Jue was lying. How could Xuexue have left so easily?
Seeing how afraid the little woman was of him, Qin Jue reached out and took her soft little hand in his.
Jiang Duoduo instinctively tried to break free, but couldn't. "Don't hold my hand..."
"Cross the road properly," Qin Jue said without changing his expression.
"I'll keep up with you... Let go."
They had only walked halfway across the zebra crossing when Jiang Duoduo almost fell silent as she finished speaking.
For no particular reason, it was simply because Qin Jue was staring at her with a frightening gaze.
She explained weakly, "You're the one who made me refuse to be touched by anyone."
Seeing how the little woman was trying to apply what she had just learned to him, Qin Jue was successfully annoyed by her. He tightened his grip on her small hand, increasing the pressure.
