On Sunday afternoon, Luo Qi and Jiang Shenghe were on their way back to Beijing.

The first wedding photo shoot was successfully completed.

They also took a set of photos in the alley across from her high school. She wasn’t wearing a wedding dress for those pictures—she just wore her own clothes.

At the time, Lu Baisheng teased Jiang Shenghe, “Don’t you want to go to the car repair shop to take another set? That way everyone in our family will know that you took wedding photos?”

Jiang Shenghe turned to the photographer as said, “Include the car repair shop in these photos.”

As a result, the car repair shop appeared in the background of the photos.

Luo Qi gave her phone to Lu Baisheng’s son and asked the little guy to help her take some pictures. It turned out that the little guy was quite talented in photography, and the few pictures he took for her could be used as screen savers.

She shared it with Jiang Shenghe, “Chief Jiang, I give you two photos.”

Every time she called him ‘Chief Jiang’, Jiang Shenghe felt like he was back to when she was his assistant.

After saving the photo, he suddenly remembered something that he had wanted to ask her for a long time. “Do you still remember that when you first arrived at the President’s Office, I told you that you can express your opinions when you disagree with me at work? But that even if you raise it, it may be still be in vain, and I may not accept it.”

Luo Qi nodded. Not only did she remember it, she had quite an impression of it.

“Why did you mention this suddenly?”

Jiang Shenghe said, “Your answer at the time was that you would still mention what should be mentioned. I know you were only being perfunctory with me.”

Luo Qi smiled, “Of course! You are the boss. No matter how stupid I am, I will never be stupid enough to tell the truth to the boss.”

“Can you tell me the truth now?”

Jiang Shenghe looked at her. At the time, what he especially wanted to know was how she would answer if she didn’t regard him as her boss.

Luo Qi smiled and said nothing; she clicked on the photos to look at it again.

“I’m talking to you.” Jiang Shenghe took away her phone, leaned toward her seat, and kissed her on the chin, “Let’s talk about this.”

Luo Qi said, “If you complain about your boss, you will definitely be classified as disobedient.”

“Oh? I want to know how you complained about me.”

Luo Qi laughed and said, “The real thought in my heart at that time was, ‘You are the boss, you are awesome.’”

After saying that, she lay in his arms and smiled.

Jiang Shenghe also smiled, “Didn’t you sell me out with the others?”

“… I’ve forgotten.”

In fact, she often slandered him.

Luo Qi got up from his arms and changed the subject, “When the weather gets warmer next spring, we can take wedding photos again. Do you want to take them near your middle school?”

She added, “Elementary school is fine too.”

Jiang Shenghe replied, “We don’t have to go to the elementary school. It’s enough to let Qin Moling be the background. Teacher Chen has desks and chairs at home. Just take them out and let him sit there and write a self-reflection paper. The self-reflection he writes can represent all my memories of the six years of primary school.” 　　

On the high-speed train back from Suzhou, Luo Qi laughed all the way.

The sun has not yet set when they arrived in Beijing.

The driver had a day off today, and the bodyguard drove the car to pick them up.

Jiang Shenghe asked his bodyguard to drive to the shop that sold the potted strawberries. He had previously ordered three pots of strawberries from the shop owner and now stopped by to take them home. Otherwise, Luo Qi would go to the company tomorrow and would have nothing to do.

“Why buy it again?”

Jiang Shenghe said, “I have to make sure you have strawberries to eat every day.”

The store was the first shop in the flower market, right next to the parking area, and one could get there in just a few steps after getting out of the car.

Jiang Shenghe got out of the car alone; Luo Qi waited for him in the car.

But thinking that there might be other potted plants in the store, she pushed the car door open and went down.

Jiang Shenghe was in the shop picking potted plants. “Why did you go down? Aren’t you worried about people bumping into us?”

“It will be dark soon, so the chances of bumping into people is not that great,” Luo Qi said. “I want to look at other potted plants.”

… …

But someone did turn to look, saw it was them, hurriedly turned away, and went out again.

It was about time to get off work, and the store owner was busy collecting pots farther inside the store. He thought that the person who had just come in the door turned around and left again because they forgot to bring their mobile phone.

Back in the car, Cui Peng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but sneer.

This Luo Qi had the nerve to scold her and look down on her, but wasn’t she also hooking up with her boss?!

Cui Peng had previously applied to be assigned as the one responsible for the projects in Beijing, just so she would be the one to take care of Ruipu. Yu Bo had been a little hesitant initially, but last night, they met Xu Xiangyi at a charity reception. She called Xu Xiangyi ‘Uncle’ to his face, and Xu Xiangyi also asked a few questions about how she was doing in the company.

Yu Bo’s hesitation evaporated, and he agreed to let her move to Beijing.

The house has been rented and she was ready to move in.

From now on, there was no need to travel between Shanghai and Beijing. It would be more convenient to chase Shu Rui.

There were no green plants at her new home. That day, when she saw the strawberry pots brought in by Luo Qi at Ruipu, she also wanted some. Today she came over to buy some, and perhaps also buy some other green plants.

Who would have expected that she would meet Luo Qi?

And with Jiang Shenghe at that!

Cui Peng was not in a hurry to buy potted plants. She slid the car window down a little and pointed her phone in the direction of the first flower shop.

Luo Qi probably didn’t expect that everything her younger cousin did would eventually come back to bite her.

Cui Peng switched to video recording mode and was ready.

Suddenly a black suit jacket obscured her view but it was impossible to see who was wearing the jacket.

‘Bang! Bang!‘ came loud knocks from the roof of the car.

“What are you taking pictures of? Open the window!”

The voice of the man in the suit jacket was as sharp as a knife.

Cui Peng’s heart was beating fast, and she had no choice but to slide down the window.

She narrowed her eyes—she forgot that Jiang Shenghe had bodyguards. With his wealth, he always had bodyguards accompanying him whenever he went out.

The man in the suit jacket took a half step back, said nothing, and stretched his hand to the open window.

“I didn’t take any pictures,” Cui Peng said, reluctantly handing over her phone.

After checking, the bodyguard confirmed that there were no videos or photos of the boss and Luo Qi on her phone. “What’s your name? Which company are you from?”

He thought it was an employee from some department in Yuanwei who wanted to spread gossip about his boss’ relationship.

Cui Peng couldn’t hide—she was driving a car assigned to her by the company, and he could easily find out her information with a quick check.

She could only tell the truth, “Lingjia Capital, Cui Peng.”

… …

Inside the shop, Jiang Shenghe and Luo Qi finished picking potted plants and returned to the car. The bodyguard threw the phone to her, “If any photos that shouldn’t be leaked are leaked in the future, you know the consequences.”

He walked away.

Cui Peng took a deep breath and closed the car window.

She was seriously unlucky today.

“What’s the situation?” Jiang Shenghe asked after the bodyguard got into the driver’s seat.

The bodyguard reported, “The person who bumped into you and Ms. Luo is from Lingjia Capital. Her name is Cui Peng.”

He asked his boss, “How should this be dealt with?”

Lingjia Capital belonged to Uncle Xu, but Jiang Shenghe has never heard of the name ‘Cui Peng’.

Luo Qi said, “I know her. She used to work at Pei Shixiao’s company and later went to Lingjia. Eldest Aunt transferred my family’s debt to her.”

With so many sensitive people connected together, Jiang Shenghe could naturally guess Cui Peng’s identity.

He didn’t ask anything, “Leave it to me.”

“No need,” Luo Qi said. She held his hand, “I can handle this myself. Don’t touch her yet. I will soon take back real power in Ruipu. She can still be of some use.”

Jiang Shenghe clasped her hand in his and asked with his eyes, Are you sure?

Luo Qi nodded, “Don’t worry, she is no match for me.”
