<h4>Chapter 1716: Chapter 1709: A Good Thing Interrupted</h4>
"Mr. Bai, I brought the documents you asked for."
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A sweet, chirpy voice followed, and then Lan Xin appeared inside the office.
"Click!"
With one foot just stepping into the office, Lan Xin seemed frozen in ce, as if under a spell. She stood rigidly, not even setting down her half-stepped foot, staring at the scene inside with slightly open mouth and an incredulous look.
Her expression seemed to ask: What are you two doing? Did I disturb you? Do I still have a chance to leave now?
Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing both noticed Lan Xin, who was halfway through the door, and were dumbfounded.
Lu Tianxing looked at Lan Xin with speechlessness, wondering if this girl had perfectly timed her entrance. She didn’te earlier orter but chose this moment. Was it deliberate?
Bai Zhiqing was equally stupefied, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lan Xin as the blush on her pretty face deepened. Especially since she was still in Lu Tianxing’s arms, she felt like she wanted to bury herself in a hole—too embarrassing.
After a brief moment of shock, Lu Tianxing was the first to recover, looking serious as he said to Lan Xin, "Secretary Lan, don’t you know to knock before entering? Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Mr. Bai just fell and twisted her ankle. I’m taking her to rest inside. Go downstairs quickly and buy some safflower oil, okay?"
"Ah!"
Lan Xin finally came back to her senses after hearing this, lowering her head. "I... I got it. I’ll go down immediately to buy it."
Saying this, without thinking, Lan Xin turned around and ran outside, closing the door on her way out.
After confirming the door was closed, Lan Xin let out a long breath, patting her chest in surprise. She couldn’t believe that the usually icy-cold Bai Zhiqing at thepany could have such a bold side. If she hade a littleter, they might have been engaged in something delightful to witness.
Recalling the scene she had just witnessed, Lan Xin couldn’t help but blush, feeling her heart pounding wildly, unable to calm down.
Inside the office.
Seeing Lan Xin close the door, Bai Zhiqing finally came to her senses. She raised her hand and pinched Lu Tianxing’s waist hard. It was all this jerk’s fault; if not for him, she wouldn’t have been embarrassed. If word of this spread, how could she maintain her dignity as director at Bai’s Group?
Lu Tianxing gave Bai Zhiqing an awkward smile and quickly let her go.
With her feet back on the ground, Bai Zhiqing let out a long sigh and kicked Lu Tianxing. "It’s all your fault, you asshole. It’s all your fault. Now get out of my sight immediately. I need to work."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Lu Tianxing gave Bai Zhiqing an awkward smile and said, "Honey, I didn’t know Secretary Lan would suddenly burst in like that. You can’t me me."
"Not me you? Should I me myself then?"
Bai Zhiqing red at Lu Tianxing, pushing him hard toward the office door, then turned and walked toward her desk.
Lu Tianxing wore a wry smile, realizing his hopes of doing something fun with Bai Zhiqing werepletely dashed.
"Honey, since that’s the case, I’ll head out first. Oh, I’ve got a gift for you. Open itter and see if you like it."
Saying this, Lu Tianxing removed the backpack from his back, found a delicate brocade box inside, and ced it on Bai Zhiqing’s desk. Then he picked up his backpack from the sofa and turned to leave. He had bought quite a few gifts this time, so he needed to distribute them.
After Lu Tianxing left, Bai Zhiqing nced at him, her face breaking into a smile. Without hesitation, she picked up the brocade box Lu Tianxing had left behind, opened it lightly, revealing a pearl ne that gleamed with a faint glow.
The pearl ne wasn’t particrly valuable, but Bai Zhiqing’s eyes shed with excitement as she gently took it out, cradling it in her hands while a captivating smile graced her lips, leaving one entranced.
Upon leaving Bai Zhiqing’s office, Lu Tianxing casually swept his gaze over Lan Xin’s position, finding her absent. With a wry smile, he shook his head and took a beautifully wrapped box from his backpack, cing it on Lan Xin’s desk. Without any hesitation, he strode toward the elevator and headed straight to the security department.
However, Lu Tianxing hadn’t been in the security department for long before he fled with a dark expression, leaving a gift behind. He found that he really seemed to sh with Xue Man. After a few words, he sessfully angered her and beat a hasty retreat under her furious gaze.
Little did he know, after he left, the anger on Xue Man’s face dissipated. Staring nkly at the gift he had left in her hand, her pretty face alternated between sweet smiles and gritted teeth, her emotions vividly ying out.
Humming a tune, Lu Tianxing left the security department, heading to his final destination—the sales department.
At that moment, in the manager’s office of the sales department, Lin Qianru sat at the desk, seriously going over the office documents she held. It took her quite some time before she signed them.
cing the signed documents neatly aside, Lin Qianru leaned back in her chair, her once beautiful, delicate face showing signs of fatigue. It was clear she hadn’t rested welltely.
She took a sip of the coffee on the table before cing it back down and gently massaging her temples. Lin Qianru stood up, drew back the curtains, and let the sunlight pour in. Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, she gazed at the blue sky with undisguised worry in her eyes.
"Tianxing, you know, I miss you so much."
Lin Qianru murmured softly, lost in thought as she looked out at the scenery.
At the same time, Lu Tianxing arrived at the sales department. Without alerting anyone, he quietly opened Lin Qianru’s office door and walked inside.
When Lu Tianxing entered, he immediately noticed Lin Qianru’s slender, somewhat frail back, evoking a sense of tenderness. Hearing her murmur softly, Lu Tianxing’s heart ached a little.
