So the names were decided, the bigger puppy was called Doudou and the smaller one was called Mimi.

Luo Qi posted a photo of Mimi taken from the front, with the caption: [New member of the family, Mimi.]

She left Doudou for Jiang Shenghe to post on his Moments.

When she got up from the bed, her legs were so sore that she couldn’t walk.

Jiang Shenghe changed into casual clothes, finding a shirt that could cover the kiss marks.

He half squatted down, “I’ll carry you downstairs.”

“No need. It will recover faster if I move more.”

If she really didn’t dare to go down the stairs later, there was an indoor elevator at home.

Jiang Shenghe continued to squat there without getting up, “I’ll carry you on my back.”

Luo Qi could only satisfy him. She took her phone and got on his back.

She hmm’d softly, and Jiang Shenghe stood up easily.

The feeling of being carried on his back was completely different from being carried in his arms.

There was more intimacy and tenderness when in his arms.

Being carried on his back was more youthful and passionate.

Jiang Shenghe carried her downstairs, and Luo Qi hugged him when she got down, “Thank you. By the way, I’m going shopping with Jian Hang tonight, so I might be late coming home.”

“I have a dinner banquet too.” Coincidentally, Qin Moling would also be present at the dinner banquet that evening.

… …

Luo Qi posted a photo of Mimi in the morning; by 4 o’clock, Jiang Shenghe also posted several photos. He blocked everyone in Yuanwei Group from seeing it except those from the President’s Office.

The set only contained photos of Doudou, without any text.

Qin Moling asked: [Have you chosen a name? What is it?]

Among all his friends, only Qin Moling and Jian Hang knew that Jiang Shenghe had two dogs.

Several of Jiang Shenghe’s contacts overlapped with Luo Qi’s. They compared the photos and confirmed that it was not the same Samoyed. The eyes were not the same and the body size was not the same.

When a certain someone posted a photo, Jiang Shenghe did too.

That person’s dog was called Mimi, and his dog was called Doudou.

A friend left a message: [Jiang is a brilliant scholar¹.]

People who were unaware of the situation also followed suit and left comments.

Qin Moling felt that this description was very apt. He wanted to comment too but ultimately didn’t, for fear that Jian Hang would say he was narrow-minded.

… …

Xiao Jiang sent the photos of the two puppies to his wife and briefly explained the situation. [Is this hopeful, do you think?]

It could be seen that the boss was very close to her. Since the boss was this straightforward, Sister Luo should understand how deeply the boss loved her, right?

Xiao Jiang’s wife has been having severe pregnancy reactions recently and was now sitting with her head on the table, completely without energy. 

After seeing the two photos, she sat up straight and analyzed carefully: [You can see that your boss is persistent, but can’t you see Luo Qi’s attitude? If your boss posts a status first, and Luo Qi posts something similar, then that’s sweetness. This is just one-sided glass shards. You have to know which CP to support, understand?]

Xiao Jiang: [If they really get together, I might be able to take a month of paternity leave.]

Wife: “…”

Xiao Jiang sincerely hoped that his boss would have a baby soon.

Jiang Shenghe was at a golf course, and the person who invited him to play golf joked, “Even when playing golf, you still have time to post in your Moments, and you even posted a picture of your pet dog. Could you be in love and in a relationship?”

Jiang Shenghe smiled, neither admitting nor denying, “Thank you for your good wishes.”

The other party continued to talk about business, “I am 200% sincere in strategic cooperation with Linghong.” He smiled, “You are modest. Outsiders might not know, but I know that you have a say in Linghong. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of finding you.”

Linghong has always been led by Cui Ran’s father-in-law, with Cui Ran herself and her husband being responsible for specific operational matters, but the actual controller was Xu Xiangyi. Another behind-the-scenes investor with a say was Jiang Shenghe.

In recent years, Linghong has invested in private hospitals overseas, and most of the resources, relationships, and funds came from Jiang Sixun and Jiang Shenghe.

Jiang Sixun rarely returned to China and he has entrusted his voting rights to Jiang Shenghe.

As far as the man knew, Jiang Shenghe’s collaboration with Xu Xiangyi went far beyond this, but he had no way of knowing more.

Jiang Shenghe would not give up a profitable business.

“I’m going to visit Uncle Xu in a few days, and I’ll talk to him about this.”

It was already getting dark, and the last 9 holes were not yet finished.

But the cooperation was showing signs of success; the two agreed to continue the game next time.

… …

After collecting his golf bag, Jiang Shenghe prepared to return to the hotel. He picked up his phone and saw that Luo Qi had not liked his post.

[Why haven’t you liked it?]

Luo Qi: “…”

This man even asked her to like it.

[Likes can easily lead to clues.]

She and Jian Hang were at the mall, [No more chatting.]

Jian Hang has been busy recently with the online launch and marketing of new products, and she has lost a lot of weight. She decided to treat herself tonight.

She took out the VIP shopping card and asked Luo Qi, “Do you know how much this card is worth?”

“I don’t know. Jiang Shenghe didn’t say.”

“Do you really believe what they said, that it was given to them by a friend?”

“No.”

“When they were making it up, I think they might have actually fooled themselves.”

Luo Qi laughed.

Jian Hang didn’t plan to expose Qin Moling and would just buy something for him later.

They first went shopping for women’s clothing. Luo Qi bought a few long dresses for autumn and winter, and two sets of New Year’s clothes.

Jian Hang chose something similar to hers: a dress and a coat, and finally matched them with a few scarves.

They put the shopping bags in the car and continued shopping.

Luo Qi said she wanted to buy Jiang Shenghe a black turtleneck sweater. Jian Hang thought about it and realized that she has never seen Jiang Shenghe wearing a turtleneck sweater. “Is he suddenly afraid of the cold?”

“… intermittent coldness in the neck.”

Jian Hang realized something and laughed.

“I’ll buy a few for my man too.” Qin Moling liked to secretly show off the things she bought for him, wanting others to know that she was actually very good to him and that she only stood him up on their blind date because she hadn’t met him in person yet.

Once, she bought him a shirt but then forgot to actually give it to him; for the next several days, he tried every way to hint to her that she hasn’t given him the shirt yet.

Luo Qi picked out another coat for Jiang Shenghe. It was from the same brand as hers and the two looked like a couple’s outfits.

Coming out of the mall, they ended up buying similar types of clothes, the same number of pieces, but different brands and colors.

… …

Luo Qi and Jiang Shenghe arrived home at about the same time. He had a few drinks at the social gathering that evening, and the private room was full of cigarette smoke.

“I’ll take a shower first.”

“Yeah.” Luo Qi laid out the clothes, “It’s a good time to try them on after you wash.”

“You bought it for me?”

“I bought you a few,” she said. “Jian Hang also bought some for Qin Moling.”

“Do you know my size?”

“I know. I know all the sizes. I looked at them when I sorted out your clothes.”

Jiang Shenghe hugged her and said, “Thank you.”

“Why thank me? This is what I should do.”

Jiang Shenghe asked again, how many items did Jian Hang buy for Qin Moling.

“Same number as you have, six.”

Jian Hang had said earlier that they must nip in the bud these two people’s desire to compare.

Jiang Shenghe subconsciously explained, “Don’t worry, I don’t mean to compare, I just asked casually. It’s not like I’m short of clothes, just a few pieces of clothes, there’s no need to compare.”

This was the first time he had to explain so much for such a small matter, and the more he explained, the worse it got, and she couldn’t help laughing.

After taking a shower, he blew his hair half dry so that no water would drip and tried on his new clothes. Each one fit him well.

“Let’s visit Uncle Xu next Monday.”

“Xu Xiangyi?”

“Yes. Aunt Xu won’t be home, so you don’t need to worry about being asked too many questions. I want to discuss some business with Uncle Xu.”

T/N: Jian Hang forgetting to give Qin Moling his shirt is super funny—and a bit pitiful 😂Qin Moling knew there was a shirt for him but as a domineering CEO he couldn’t actually come up to her and say ‘hey, where’s the shirt you bought for me?’ so he could only hint to his oblivious wife. Check them out at Marriage First, Love Later.
