After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 302 - 303 Humble Luo Xiaoqian

Arriving at the underground parking, Leng Zimo casually pulled open the car door and sat inside. On the dashboard in front of him, he saw the gift Luo Xiaoqian had given him. His heart filled with curiosity, his hands moved lightly and slowly, as if he was afraid of damaging the contents.

As he opened the packaging, Luo Xiaoqian’s photo on the CD cover was revealed.

His fingers gently traced the corner of her lips before he flipped open the cover, immediately catching sight of the words she had left inside.

"I will strive to move forward, only hoping that one day I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"

In the lower right corner was the signature—"Admiring you, liking you, Luo Xiaoqian"—followed by the date.

The characters were all very clear, showing how heartfelt and serious she was when she wrote them.

In just a few short lines, they subtly expressed her humility.

In front of him, she never had the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

As his gaze moved over each word she had written, Leng Zimo’s brows furrowed once more.

Seeing her yesterday in front of Jiao Yang, hiding her relationship with him, he had thought it was because she was worried that the rumors would affect her career. Now it seemed he was wrong—this girl was afraid of affecting him.

Because she felt, she wasn’t good enough for him!

"Silly girl!"

He muttered softly, sealed the CD back the way it was, and carefully placed it in his bag. Then, Leng Zimo turned and drove out of the parking lot.

...

...

Inside the bedroom on the 19th floor of World Tower.

Unaware of the passing time, Luo Xiaoqian was still soundly asleep on the pillow.

After a long night with him, not sleeping until late into the night, how could she wake up now?

On the table, the phone suddenly rang.

It rang six times before Luo Xiaoqian groggily picked it up, Yu Tong’s voice immediately came through from the other end, "Darling, please don’t tell me you’re still in bed?"

"What time is it?" Luo Xiaoqian rubbed her eyes.

"Beijing time, ten oh two," reported Yu Tong from the other end.

"Ah!" Luo Xiaoqian immediately sat up straight, "I overslept, wait for me, I’ll be right there!"

"You don’t need to rush over!" Yu Tong laughed lightly on the other end, "Knowing you’ve been so tired these past days, we didn’t disturb you and went straight ahead with finalizing the promotion plan. Get your luggage ready, we’ll pick you up and head to the airport later. We’re flying to Shanghai in two hours. You can lie down with your eyes closed on the pillow for a bit longer, Xiao Zhou will come to pick you up in an hour."

There was no way Luo Xiaoqian could lie back down. She got out of bed, carelessly threw on one of Leng Zimo’s shirts, and dashed into the bathroom.

After showering and changing, she swiftly tidied up the clothes and sundries scattered beside the bed for the two of them, and then packed her luggage at breakneck speed.

Dragging her suitcase downstairs, as she passed the hallway, something suddenly occurred to her. She stopped in her tracks and carefully checked herself in the hall mirror.

Sure enough, several deep red love bites marked her neck.

"Stinking Zimo!"

With a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, she murmured under her breath, dashed back upstairs to find a decorative scarf to wrap around her neck. Ensuring that none of the marks were visible, she then pulled her suitcase out the door.

Standing in the elevator, she composed a text message and sent it to Leng Zimo to inform him of her itinerary.

By the time she had dragged out her luggage and arrived at the roadside outside World City, the company car had already arrived. The staff were busy getting out to help her with her luggage.

Just as Luo Xiaoqian settled into the seat, Yu Tong handed her a schedule.
