Chapter 90 I can't eat or sleep well because of you
When she was dating Jiang Ming, they had eaten together, and she always paid the bill because she was afraid he would feel awkward if he didn't have any money.
Song Qiao ate a little and then put down her chopsticks: "I'm full!"
"Let's go then!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan put down his chopsticks and said.
The two had just come down from the second floor when a loud voice rang out in the lobby: "Qiao Qiao!"
Upon hearing the sound, Song Qiao looked over and was surprised to find Xu Chao, who had been transferred from the military. He stood there tall and imposing!
"Brother Xu Chao, is it really you?"
Song Qiao was also surprised to see Xu Chao in this place, and her eyes lit up with delight.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Xu Chao and asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
Seeing Xu Chao standing there with an air of confidence, and Song Qiao seeing his happy expression, Lu Mingxuan felt uncomfortable.
“My brother Xu Chao is the son of my Uncle Xu whom I told you about on the phone.”
Upon hearing that he was Xu Tao's son, Lu Mingxuan quickly went over and said, "Hello! My name is Lu Mingxuan."
Xu Chao quickly extended his hand: "Hello!"
"Brother Xu Chao, this is my classmate Lu Mingxuan, who is now a doctor."
After introducing Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao looked at Xu Chao with admiration and said, "I heard from Uncle Xu that you came back from the army. I was even discussing with him today about having a welcome dinner for you and your wife another day."
Xu Chao smiled and said, "Sure, when are you free? Let's get together. I also brought you a gift, I'll give it to you then."
Xu Chao unconsciously touched Song Qiao's hair; it was a habit of his.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Song Qiao, and to his surprise, she didn't seem to mind, which made him jealous again.
Lu Mingxuan was unaware of their relationship. Since childhood, Xu Chao had always liked to give Song Qiao gifts.
When he was a child, he liked guns and thought Song Qiao liked them too, so he bought a gun for her. However, when he saw that she didn't like it, he replaced it with something for girls.
"What gift are you giving me? It's not going to be another gun, is it?"
Xu Chao laughed when Song Qiao exposed his weakness: "Weren't we young back then? I always thought that if I liked you, you liked me too. Didn't I buy you hair clips and hair accessories later?"
Lu Mingxuan stood to the side listening, and his heart began to ache.
It turns out the two were childhood sweethearts. Fortunately, he just heard from Song Qiao that she already has a sister-in-law.
Song Qiao and Xu Chao joked around for a while, then turned their attention back to Lu Mingxuan: "I haven't formally introduced you yet. Lu Mingxuan: Jiangcheng's youngest vice dean."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chao quickly looked at Lu Mingxuan and said, "Dr. Lu is young and promising; he is truly enviable."
Lu Mingxuan felt embarrassed upon hearing this: "Not at all, Brother Xu has the real courage."
Song Qiao laughed when she heard the two complimenting each other: "Can you two stop doing this? It feels so formal."
The two laughed awkwardly, and Xu Chao looked at Song Qiao.
"I heard from my dad that Uncle Song is in the hospital because he's not feeling well?"
Song Qiao glanced at Lu Mingxuan and said, "It's alright. With Dr. Lu's help, it will be fine in a few days."
In order to prevent Xu Chao from visiting his father in the hospital, Song Qiao decided to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother Xu Chao, I have something to do. Let's talk another day."
Xu Chao nodded hurriedly: "Okay! I'll call you when I'm done with my work another day."
It had been about ten years since they last met. As Xu Chao looked at Song Qiao, he seemed to see the girl who used to chase after him and call him "brother".
After leaving the fast food restaurant, Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan returned to their car.
"Is this Xu Chao Xu Tao's son?"
As Lu Mingxuan walked out of the fast food restaurant, he still felt a pang of sadness. He never had the chance to be Song Qiao's childhood sweetheart. If they had been together, perhaps she would have married him long ago.
Thinking about it carefully, does Xu Chao also like Song Qiao?
Forget it, there's no point in getting jealous over this.
Are you going back to Wang Hongmei's house? I'll take you back.
Song Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Take me back to the company. After taking over as chairman, I am not yet familiar with many tasks. I need to understand everything, including business matters, as quickly as possible."
Lu Mingxuan casually reminded him, "These things won't stump you. I remember when you were choosing your major in college, you didn't like architecture, but Uncle Song insisted that you choose it. You were very resistant at the time, but in the end, you chose it because of your uncle, and you received scholarships every year for four years."
Song Qiao had forgotten about it, but he still remembered: "I didn't like this major at the time, but since I chose it, I should study it well and make good use of it."
Lu Mingxuan looked at her seriously: "So, you are perfectly capable of being the chairman of the urban construction company."
Encouraged by Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao's confidence increased. Sitting in the passenger seat, the headlights illuminated the road brightly, and her heart brightened as well.
"Mingxuan, don't waste your time on me. I feel you deserve the best."
Thinking back to the phone call Lu Mingxuan received from his mother on the way here, she felt she should give him some advice.
Lu Mingxuan glanced back at her and slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road: "You are the best. I haven't found anyone better than you."
"I... have been married, that's a fact."
"So what if you've been married? I don't care. What I care about is you as a person."
Lu Mingxuan reached out and grasped Song Qiao's hand: "You don't need to care what others say. In fact, I'm the one who's above my station. Look at me, I'm just a doctor, while you're the chairman of the city construction company."
Song Qiao wanted to ask: When will you tell me about your family situation?
"Mingxuan, you know how difficult it is for me to be the chairman, so don't flatter me here."
Song Qiao was still the Song Qiao he had always loved—beautiful, kind, humble, and eager to learn. Lu Mingxuan decided to reveal the secret he had kept hidden in his heart: "Actually, the reason I came back from abroad this time was because of you!"
"Because of me?"
Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan with a puzzled expression.
He stared into her beautiful eyes, slowly lowered his head, and just as his lips were about to touch hers, Song Qiao blocked them with her hand.
He smiled wickedly: "I can't let you go. I originally came back to see if you were doing well. If you were doing well, I probably wouldn't have come back this time. But I found that you are not doing well at all, so I have no choice but to stay and protect you. You are my Qiaoqiao, and you always will be."
"But your parents..."
Looking at the handsome man approaching him, Song Qiao finally voiced her concerns.
“I’ve said it before, I have ways to get them to agree to us being together.”
The light in Song Qiao's eyes was as bright as the stars in the sky outside the skylight as she looked at him: "Really?"
"real!"
Suddenly, he playfully and quickly kissed her cheek, but it was too late before she even realized it.
Before she got angry, I quickly said, "Let's go! I'll take you back to the company."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan turned on the car key, and the car slowly drove into the middle of the road.
The car stopped at the company gate. Just as Song Qiao was about to open the door, Lu Mingxuan grabbed her arm and said, "Aren't you going to give me a goodbye kiss?"
Song Qiao glanced at him and warned in a low voice, "I'm not divorced yet, so watch your image."
Lu Mingxuan let out a long sigh: "You need to bring this up on the agenda. I want to see you every day, otherwise I can't eat or sleep well."
"Give me a break! You can't eat or sleep properly, and you've still grown to be 1.85 meters tall!"
