Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 493 - 491: President Gu, May I Leave Now?

"If you can’t sleep, just lie down with your eyes closed; it’s conducive to wound recovery," the man’s voice was as deep as ever.

In the darkness, Xiao Qing curled her lips. Although there was still no trace of sleepiness, she obediently closed her eyes.

Perhaps it was the exhaustion of her body, she soon fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was broad daylight, and the quilt beside her had gone cold.

Annoyed, Xiao Qing rubbed her head and hurriedly washed up and changed clothes. When she appeared downstairs, Lu Jinyang was just entering from outside.

"Slept well?"

Xiao Qing nodded and looked around the room. Upon not seeing Dabao and Xiaobao, she asked, "Where are Dabao and Xiaobao?"

"They went out with their grandparents."

"Oh."

Lu Jinyang watched her with amusement at her look of loss, "Have you had breakfast? Hungry?"

"Not yet, just came downstairs."

"Nanny Zhang, bring over the breakfast," Lu Jinyang called out towards the kitchen and then led Xiao Qing to the dining table.

Worried that he would prevent her from eating her fill, Xiao Qing said, "I left my phone upstairs, could you get it for me, please?"

"Mhm."

Seeing that Lu Jinyang had agreed to her request but still hadn’t moved from his spot, she nudged him, "Go on, what if there’s an emergency call I miss?"

"Just call back," he replied.

Xiao Qing: "..."

While they were talking, Nanny Zhang had already brought over the breakfast, setting it on the dining table.

"That’s it?" Xiao Qing glanced at the white porridge on the table, incredulous.

"Yes, madam, it’s already past ten o’clock. If you eat too much now, you won’t have an appetite for lunch," Nanny Zhang said without daring to meet Xiao Qing’s eyes, because the plain porridge was arranged by the young master that morning.

Xiao Qing didn’t know that Lu Jinyang attributed her insomnia last night to eating too much the evening before. If she knew, she would probably be devastated.

Faced with that portion of white porridge, Xiao Qing really had no appetite at all, but her stomach was growling with hunger, so she forced herself to drink it.

Watching Xiao Qing finish the last bit of white porridge in the bowl, Lu Jinyang finally nodded in satisfaction, "I’ll go get your phone."

With her phone in hand, Xiao Qing, not wanting to bother with Lu Jinyang, sat in the corner of the sofa and started scrolling through her phone. She noticed several missed calls from yesterday, all from Chestnut, so she returned the call.

The call was picked up after ten rings. Chestnut’s voice sounded a bit strange, but Xiao Qing couldn’t quite pinpoint what was off.

She asked, "Chestnut, did you need me for something?"

"No... it’s nothing now, just some work stuff... Did you fall ill and get hospitalized?"

"Yep, I was discharged yesterday. By the way, when do I have scenes to shoot for that drama?" Xiao Qing asked.

She remembered that the day before her hospitalization, the drama had already started filming, but she had yet to receive a notice from Chestnut.

"No rush, I’ve asked for leave on your behalf, we’ll arrange your scenes once you’ve rested well."

"Alright then."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qing looked at her stomach with sorrow. What timing to fall ill, just when she had work to do, it really was worrying.

At the same time, in the New City Entertainment General Manager’s Office

Chestnut sat restlessly as she watched the man sitting in front of the desk, who was bent over processing documents. From her angle, she could see his strong profile and handsome brows and eyes.

But at this moment, Chestnut was in no mood to admire these features.

After taking a few deep breaths, Chestnut summoned the courage to stand up, "General Manager Gu, may I leave now?"

Gu Chen lifted his head from a pile of documents, then quickly lowered it again, his pen continuing to dance across the paper.
