Chapter 369 - 370: Please Come Alone
His movements were too fast and too sudden, Luo Xiaoqian didn’t have time to dodge, and Leng Zimo naturally couldn’t stop him either.
Withdrawing his fingers, Jiao Yang turned and headed for the door.
"Jiao Yang!" Luo Xiaoqian hurried after him into the hallway, "This time, I really have to thank you!"
In the corridor, Jiao Yang turned his face, looked at her, and wickedly curled the corner of his lips upward, "When you’re back in Beijing, remember to treat me to a meal, just you and me!"
Without giving anyone the chance to stop or reject him, he turned around and strode towards the elevator. The driver nodded to the others, busying himself with pulling the suitcase to follow.
Ailin glanced at Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo, who were standing in the hallway, "President Leng, please get ready. I’ll go downstairs to find a taxi!"
In the hallway, only two were left.
"What were you going to say to me just now?" Leng Zimo asked.
Luo Xiaoqian turned around to face him, "I wanted to tell you..."
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Leng Zimo stood by the door without moving, still waiting for her to finish.
Meeting his gaze, she suddenly felt a certain shyness, "You answer the phone first."
Leng Zimo looked into her eyes, turned, and walked into the room to answer the phone.
"Yes, it’s me!" Glancing at Luo Xiaoqian, who had followed him inside, his expression softened, "She’s fine too, just a little interruption, don’t worry about it."
"That’s good to hear." Leng Zirui sighed with relief on the other end of the phone, "I’m very busy over here, so I won’t arrange a plane for you. You’ll have to find a way back to Beijing yourself."
"We can handle our own matters; just take care of yourself!"
Before hanging up the phone, Leng Zimo still remembered to remind him.
Although the two brothers were very different, the brotherly love they shared was in no way less than any other sibling pair.
"Relax, brother, I’ve got big plans and can’t afford to stay here as fertilizer."
Leng Zirui joked and then hung up the phone. As the director of disaster response, he was naturally incredibly busy.
Leng Zimo put down the receiver and looked at Luo Xiaoqian again.
Licking her lips, which were dry from nervousness, Luo Xiaoqian lifted her face to look at him, "I... I thought about it all last night, I..."
A knock on the door interrupted them.
"Who is it?"
Leng Zimo raised his eyebrows in irritation.
"It’s me, Yu Tong. I’ve come to bring Luo Xiaoqian her room card!" Outside, Yu Tong could hear the annoyance in his voice and nervously added, "Or should I leave it at the service desk?"
"No need!" Luo Xiaoqian hurried over to open the door and take the room card, "Are you going out?"
"Xiao Zhou just called, said she was at the fork in the road and couldn’t find a taxi, so I’m going to pick her up. Doctor Song is at the hospital, so don’t worry, have a good talk with President Leng."
After handing the room card to Luo Xiaoqian, Yu Tong turned and ran off like she was fleeing.
Meanwhile, Leng Zimos’ new phone rang; it was Ailin informing him that she had found a car.
"Okay, I’ll be right down!" Leng Zimo hung up, picked up his simple luggage, and walked back to Luo Xiaoqian, raising his hand to hold her face, "What is it?!"
"Actually, it’s not a big deal. You have a meeting this afternoon, and you’ll miss your flight if you’re any later. How about we talk in Beijing..."
Luo Xiaoqian’s eyes shifted, avoiding him. Her courage had already been significantly reduced by the constant interruptions.
This girl, how could he leave in peace if she didn’t finish what she had to say?
Leng Zimo put down the paper bag holding his clothes in his hand, showing with his actions that he was not going anywhere.
If she didn’t speak, he wasn’t leaving either.
