When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 242: Sheng Jianan’s Protection (2)

After almost two hours, Sheng Jianan leisurely appeared at Shengshi Group. As soon as the elevator doors opened and before Sheng Jianan could take a few steps out, Tang Ruhai emerged from the lounge: "Jianan."

Sheng Jianan’s gaze swept around Tang Ruhai and returned to Qiao Zi, as if he hadn’t seen Tang Ruhai at all, he said to Qiao Zi: "Are all the people for the meeting here?"

Qiao Zi was taken aback, what meeting? There’s no meeting this morning.

To be able to stand beside Sheng Jianan as his sole assistant, one must have top-notch intelligence and emotional intelligence. Qiao Zi instantly understood Sheng Jianan’s intention, and seamlessly followed his lead: "Yes, everyone is already here."

Sheng Jianan nodded and then looked at Tang Ruhai: "Sorry, there’s a meeting, I have to go ahead."

This remark was polite and faultless, yet in the current situation, considering the relationship between Tang Ruhai and Sheng Jianan, it seemed extremely strange.

Although Qiao Zi followed Sheng Jianan’s lead, she was also aware that unless Tang Ruhai was a fool, he could easily see through Sheng Jianan’s excuse to intentionally leave him hanging. After all, he had been waiting upstairs for almost two hours, and no one had come up, so there couldn’t possibly be a meeting.

And Qiao Zi also knew, with Sheng Jianan’s meticulous logic, even if he wanted to make an excuse, he wouldn’t choose one with such a glaring flaw, clearly our esteemed boss was doing it on purpose.

As Qiao Zi thought, Tang Ruhai obviously caught the hidden meaning in Sheng Jianan’s words. Tang Ruhai, knowing he was on uncertain ground when seeking out Sheng Jianan, didn’t dare to show the slightest displeasure, neither outwardly nor inwardly.

He quickly laughed, "You go ahead and handle your tasks."

Sheng Jianan had no meeting to attend, he returned to his office, sat for over an hour, and glanced at the time on his phone. Sheng Jianan pressed the intercom: "Book a room at Shengtang City, have Xiao Li bring Young Madam over, and prepare a brand-new phone for me."

"Okay, should the new phone be the same as your current one?"

Sheng Jianan took out his phone to look at it. He was using the latest model, incredibly expensive, yet he still felt it was acceptable, and nodded: "Yes, that’s fine."

"Alright, should the memory and color be the same?"

Sheng Jianan’s phone was in black piano lacquer. After thinking a bit, he said: "Switch it to white."

Upon hearing his words, Qiao Zi immediately understood. This phone was clearly intended for Young Madam. Qiao Zi held back a smile; she hadn’t expected Young Master Sheng to engage in couple-phone gestures.

However, Qiao Zi was evidently mistaken; with no prior romantic experience, Sheng Jianan had no idea what couple phones were. His thought was simple: Tang Yanqi is a girl, and girls likely prefer white.

At the villa

Tang Yanqi didn’t have classes this morning, and intended to tidy up and return to school, but as soon as she reached the villa door, she saw Xiao Li standing there with the car door wide open: "Young Madam, please, Young Master wants me to take you to Shengshi Group."

"Me?"

Tang Yanqi was somewhat surprised. Why was Sheng Jianan asking her to go to Shengshi, and why hadn’t he mentioned it when he left?

Tang Yanqi instinctively wanted to take out her phone to ask, but as she reached into her pocket, she remembered she had sacrificed her phone to the toilet yesterday.

She withdrew her hand, looked at Xiao Li’s cheerful smile, and bent down to get inside.

As it was close to noon and not rush hour, the car moved smoothly along the road and arrived soon at Shengshi Group’s underground parking lot.
