After reporting on her work, Luo Qi sat for another cup of coffee.

[Chief Jiang, I’m in Ms. Li’s office.]

Luo Qi wondered if he was busy at the moment.

Jiang Shenghe: [Come over when you’re done. I’ll be waiting for you. ]

Luo Qi: [I’m done here.]

[Then come over now.]

… …

Xiao Jiang was about to go out and had just hung up the phone with his wife.

He wiped his eyes and smiled unconsciously.

He looked out the window and took a deep breath; it felt like the sky was clearing up.

“Xiao Jiang,” Luo Qi came out of the elevator and saw his back.

“Sister Luo.”

Xiao Jiang suppressed his inner excitement and walked over.

His wife just told him on the phone that he had become a father, and he couldn’t calm down.

He had previously wished his boss a happy birthday, hoping that the boss would have a baby soon, but who would have thought that his boss and Luo Qi would not end up together.

As she got closer, Luo Qi saw that his eyes were red.

“What happened? Were you scolded by Chief Jiang?”

“No, no,” Xiao Jiang said with a smile, “Don’t misunderstand Chief Jiang. I am happy.”

He was a little shy and didn’t tell want to tell them yet that he was now a father. He planned to tell them when the baby was a little bigger.

Jiang Shenghe had opened the office door in advance and was waiting for her to come.

When she reached the door, he happened to look over, so Luo Qi didn’t knock anymore.

“Want to go out?”

“Mm.”

Jiang Shenghe was already putting on his coat. “Come with me. I invited Qin Moling and Jian Hang to lunch. He said he’s sick from eating all those pumpkins, so I’ll improve his diet.”

But of course, if Luo Qi hadn’t come to Yuanwei today, he didn’t plan to invite Qin Moling at all.

Luo Qi asked Uncle Fan to pick her up at the hotel around one o’clock, and she just rode in Jiang Shenghe’s car.

The four of them often gathered at Teacher Chen’s house, but this was the first time they ate out together.

After taking off their coats, the four of them were surprisingly similarly dressed today, all wearing white shirts and dark trousers, looking like they had just finished a meeting and came here for lunch.

Jiang Shenghe took Luo Qi’s down jacket. Qin Moling was also holding Jian Hang’s down jacket. He clarified to Jian Hang, “I took your coat first.”

Jian Hang kept saying he was just good at copying others.

Jiang Shenghe didn’t know about this little squabble between the couple, “You have to compete for first place just to get coats? I didn’t see you competing this hard during the elementary school exams.”

“…” Jian Hang was here, so Qin Moling had to save face at least, “Even if I tried to get first place in the exam, what did it have to do with you?”

Jiang Shenghe put Luo Qi’s coat away, sat down, and said, “You have never been first in the exam, so you competing did not affect my ranking at all.”

Qin Moling: “…”

Luo Qi laughed as she watched them unabashedly expose each other’s secrets.

Jian Hang was interested in the two puppies in their home and asked what their names were.

Luo Qi put down the cup and said, “We haven’t chosen one yet. We’ve thought of a few names but we weren’t satisfied with any of them.”

Qin Moling didn’t understand, “Just give the puppy a random name.”

Jian Hang interrupted, “You have no attachment to them. To you, they are just little pet dogs, but to them, they are small children. How can they just name them casually?”

They chatted animatedly. Jiang Shenghe picked up Luo Qi’s water cup, took a few sips, and put it back.

He was left-handed, and it was very natural for him to pick up Luo Qi’s cup with his left hand; the two people across him didn’t notice it.

Luo Qi calmly took her own water cup again, pressed her lips to the rim of the cup, and took a sip.

During this time, she kept chatting with Jian Hang, “Jiang Shenghe went to his parents’ house last night and asked Mom to help us think of nice names. I wonder if Mom has come up with any good ones.”

Jiang Shenghe suddenly turned to look at her. She had always called his mother ‘Professor Liang’ in front of him.

When she called her ‘Mom’ just now, he felt her closeness to him.

Qin Moling replied, “If Aunt Jiang really can’t come up with any, I’ll do it.”

Jiang Shenghe looked at him, “What good name can you come up with?”

Qin Moling took the vegetables that Jian Hang disliked from her plate and said faintly, “Anyway, I’m better than you. I wrote better self-criticism essays.”

“…”

Jiang Shenghe almost forgot that Qin Moling was a person who could write good essays.

This time he didn’t tease him anymore but said in a low voice, “Then you can give my daughter a name.”

Luo Qi had just put the cup of water to her lips, but when she heard the word ‘daughter’, she forgot to drink the water and directly put the cup down.

From the time they got the marriage certificate to now, she has never thought about having children.

If they had a daughter, would she look like him?

… …

Luo Qi ate very little, and there was still about three ounces of meat left on the plate.

Jiang Shenghe asked her to put it on his plate, “I’ll eat it later.”

There was not much time to linger over lunch as they all had things to do back at the company. They didn’t stay in the restaurant for long after lunch.

After going downstairs, Jian Hang said, “We’ll come to your house to see the two little puppies some other day.”

Luo Qi said, “You are welcome anytime.”

“We’ll go over when it’s not too busy.” Jian Hang waved her hand. Qin Moling took her hand and walked over to their car.

Jiang Shenghe also wanted to hold Luo Qi’s hand in the light of day, but right now she was standing one meter away.

There were two tiny white strands on his black coat; it should be stray filling from her down jacket. Luo Qi took two steps forward and brushed them off with her hand.

Suddenly she realized that they were outside and this was Chief Jiang—she took a step back consciously.

… …

Uncle Fan drove the car over. He didn’t go back to the Ruipu Canteen to eat but just ate something nearby and waited to pick up Luo Qi.

He has even less work to do than Luo Qi; he simply had nothing to do at work every day.

When he was a driver for Jiang Yueru before, he was out on the road almost every day, sometimes on long business trips. Since he started driving for Luo Qi, apart from occasionally taking her to Yuanwei, he has basically done nothing.

Luo Qi saw her car coming and said, “See you tonight.”

Jiang Shenghe stared at her for a few seconds, walked up to her, took her hand, and walked her to the car.

Seeing this, Uncle Fan stepped on the brakes.

In the afternoon, in a public place, he actually held her hand. Luo Qi’s heart beat faster.

From three or five meters away from the car, Jiang Shenghe held her hand tight. He opened the back door for her.

No one passing by recognized them.

The atmosphere was tense but also a little exciting.

After she sat down, Jiang Shenghe closed the door.

Luo Qi slid down the car window and waved to him, “Chief Jiang, goodbye.”

Jiang Shenghe smiled, “Have you ever seen a boss lead his subordinate to a car?”

Luo Qi smiled, “Our Chief Jiang does.”

Jiang Shenghe watched her drive away and got into his own car.

… …

Luo Qi received a message from Chi Xin: [Ms. Luo, when will you come back? ]

[On the way back to the company.]

Chi Xin asked again: [Ms. Luo, have you eaten yet? ]

[Have eaten.]

Chi Xin texted a lot today, and Luo Qi finally asked her if she had something to say.

[Pei Shixiao has been in our company for almost an hour.]

Chi Xin was worried that Luo Qi wouldn’t even be able to eat lunch, so she didn’t tell her first.

[Ms. Luo, please be mentally prepared.]

Luo Qi: [Okay.]
