Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 1021 - 1018: Driven Mad by Jealousy

"Absent this morning?"

A cold voice came through, Leng Shuangshuang was startled and said, "No, I told Aunt Qing, something came up last minute, so I took a half-day leave."

Actually, she went to the hospital this morning, worried that what they did last time might have harmed the baby, so she went for a check-up.

"Leng Shuangshuang~"

"Yes."

She looked up, the man was already standing in front of her. "If I remember correctly, Chief Xiao is the head of New City Entertainment, not Kairun Group."

Leng Shuangshuang’s heart tightened, she lowered her head and said, "I’m sorry, I won’t make that mistake again."

In fact, Leng Shuangshuang always asked Xiao Qing for leave, and since she worked in Lu Jincheng’s department, he never said anything about it. But she was surprised that Lu Jincheng wouldn’t let it go this time, which puzzled her.

"The company’s regulations are meant to restrain everyone. If everyone did what you do, this company would be a loose sandpile, do you understand what I mean?"

"Mm."

Lu Jincheng saw her bowing her head, not daring to look at him. His gaze quickly swept toward her small belly before sitting back down.

The afternoon felt long to Leng Shuangshuang because she and Lu Jincheng shared the same office and she couldn’t ignore his presence.

Finally, it was time to leave work. As she was packing her things, Lu Jincheng suddenly called her, and as she looked over, he was about to say something when his phone rang.

He gestured to her and turned to enter the break room.

Leng Shuangshuang didn’t understand his gesture, grabbed her bag, and left. Her check-up results from today were still in her bag, and if they accidentally fell out in front of Lu Jincheng, that would be disastrous.

The company’s apartment required passing through a small alley, and during off-hours, a lot of office workers moved through it. But since Leng Shuangshuang went home early, the alley was empty.

During the morning check-up, the doctor asked if she wanted to set up a file for future pregnancy check-ups and told her what she would need, including the father’s ID and phone number.

At the time, she just shook her head, saying the father was on a business trip and they’d come together when he returned.

The doctor didn’t suspect anything and gave her some advice.

Thinking of Lu Jincheng, Leng Shuangshuang felt melancholy. Her belly was growing, and even though winter was approaching and she could somewhat hide it, the baby was due in late spring, and by then, she wouldn’t be able to conceal it anymore.

As she was contemplating a solution, a figure blocked her path.

Thinking it was a passerby, she paid no mind. But when she saw the face clearly, her expression immediately turned indifferent.

"Leng Shuangshuang, I’ve finally found your hideout."

Leng Shuangshuang looked expressionlessly at the woman in front of her. She had become even more alluring over time.

But, that had nothing to do with her.

"Miss Han, may I ask why you’re looking for me?"

"Heh~ I guess everyone was deceived by your appearance. You’re the most scheming woman! Otherwise, how could you be Jincheng’s secretary?" Especially since they worked in the same office without any partition.

Others might know, but Han Shiwen was hearing for the first time that a secretary and a boss shared the same office space without separation.

Whenever she thought of this, she was driven mad with jealousy!

Leng Shuangshuang frowned, her big eyes filled with coldness. "Miss Han, think twice before you speak. I don’t mind, but given your status, if someone hears those words coming from you, it might ruin your own image."
