It was okay to catch your boss in a relationship, but it was really embarrassing to expose his lies on the spot.

In fact, they were embarrassed themselves. Since the boss was treating them, they tried to rip him off. 

But they were caught by the boss on the spot, and now it was a competition to see who was mentally stronger.

Li Rui stepped in front of the boss and asked, “Chief Jiang, what’s going on? Has your flight been rescheduled?”

Jiang Shenghe smiled faintly, “If I say the ticket has been changed, would you believe it?”

Everyone laughed.

Only a fool would believe it.

“No. A friend is celebrating their birthday here, so I came over first for some cake.” Jiang Shenghe said in his usual serious tone, “Ruipu needs to coordinate some relationships in the overseas market, so I’m taking Luo Qi with me.”

Luo Qi: “…”

In order to maintain the boss’s dignity, this man was really trying hard.

“And by the way, Luo Qi and I are celebrating our one-year anniversary together.”

Even Li Rui was shocked that they have been together for a year.

Just now, the boss said that there was no change in his flight details and that he would continue on his ‘business trip’. They were skeptical at first, but now they completely believed it.

Admitting that one has abused public power for personal gain was more convincing.

Li Rui smiled. “The confidentiality is indeed high in this matter.”

Jiang Shenghe said casually, “We didn’t do it on purpose. I often drive Luo Qi to and from work, and the car is parked at the entrance of the building.”

Some people remembered that they have, indeed, seen Luo Qi get into the boss’s car before. They had actually passed by the front of the boss’s car more than once, but they have never looked inside the car, subconsciously thinking that it was Jiang Shenghe’s driver who was sitting behind the wheel.

Jiang Shenghe pretended to glance at his watch. “It’s almost time. We have to rush to the airport.” After a pause, he said leisurely, “You should relax. The environment here is really nice.”

“…”

They smiled awkwardly.

In terms of momentum, the boss who was ‘going on a business trip abroad’ strongly overpowered the senior executives who ‘did not treat themselves too badly’.

Jiang Shenghe never let go of Luo Qi’s hand, and now he led her past the crowd.

He called the driver and asked him to drive the car over.

The driver was puzzled. Didn’t the boss just arrive a short while ago? Why did he have to leave again?

Their luggage was still in their room. Jiang Shenghe said, “Just let the hotel deliver it directly to our home.”

When they got in the car, Luo Qi’s palms were sweaty. He wiped her hands with a wet tissue and asked, “Why are you so nervous?”

Luo Qi replied, “I’m not nervous, I was just a little embarrassed for you.”

“It’s okay. At a time like this, whoever doesn’t admit it won’t be embarrassed.”

“Where are we going now?”

“Let’s go home first. I’ll have Xiao Jiang book the plane tickets, and we’ll go to Manhattan tomorrow morning. Ruipu does need to expand its overseas markets, and I also need to celebrate with you.”

After exposing the secret to the top management of Yuanwei, the first thing Jiang Shenghe did when they got home was to find his wedding ring and put it on.

… …

Luo Qi took a shower then went to the cloakroom to pack her luggage for the trip. Jiang Shenghe asked Luo Qi to put his clothes in her suitcase, “One suitcase is enough.”

There was no need to cover up anymore.

Today can be considered going semi-public. Jiang Shenghe thought for a moment and took out two boxes; he put them in the luggage.

Luo Qi didn’t say anything; she took out the two boxes again and put them on the jewelry table.

“No?”

“Yeah. My hands are tired.”

Every time, he asked her to help him put it on.

It always burned.

Piping hot.

The first time she helped him put it on, her palms and fingertips felt scorched.

Luo Qi said, “Don’t won’t wear it anymore. Just let nature take its course.”

She half-knelt down to close the suitcase, but before the zipper was zipped up, Jiang Shenghe hooked her legs and picked her up horizontally.

After she took a shower earlier, Luo Qi had put on his bathrobe. The collar had now loosened and slid down to her shoulders.

Jiang Shenghe lowered his head and kissed her shoulder, then carried her back to the bedroom.

There was no barrier between them; he pressed against her, almost embedding her into his body.

The bathrobe was thrown on the quilt, getting it damp.

The next morning, she dragged her tired body to catch the plane.

The trip lasted three days, and she spent two days meeting with the heads of hospitals that had been invested in by Linghong’s group. Ruipu had obvious advantages in the mid-range market, and they reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.

The decision to give up the high-end market was the right one.

After leaving the hospital, Luo Qi and Jiang Shenghe did not get in the car but walked along the sidewalk.

“When the decision was made to cut off Yuanwei Medical’s low- and mid-range markets, there was certainly considerable opposition from senior management, right?”

Jiang Shenghe agreed, “Yeah.”

Luo Qi held onto him with both hands, “Chief Jiang, is Yuanwei Medical related to me?”

Jiang Shenghe smiled, “What do you think? Why else would I set up its headquarters in Suzhou?”

Luo Qi took out her phone to check what movies were showing recently and said, “I’ll treat you to a movie.”

“Where are we watching?”

“Where you first met me.”

They took the subway to the old cinema where they first met.

Luo Qi couldn’t remember which seat she was sitting on, whether she was on his left or right.

Jiang Shenghe said quietly, “On the right.”

They watched a movie, then walked hand in hand through Times Square. It was already late when they returned to his Aunt’s house.

Jiang Yueru was raising an Alaskan dog named Rere.

It was on the same page as Doudou and Mimi. Together, all three dogs called out were do, re, and mi.

Jiang Sixun petted then Alaskan’s fur and deliberately asked Jiang Shenghe, “How about his name?”

Jiang Shenghe said, “I don’t have the words to complain about your taste. Let me think about it.”

“Is it so hard to praise my musical talent?”

“What does this have to do with musical talent? Even tone-deaf people know do, re, mi.” Jiang Shenghe finally commented on the name ‘Rere’, “You are indeed my father’s nephew.”

Jiang Sixun laughed. The inspiration for the dog’s name ‘Rere’ really came from Doudou and Mimi.

… …

Dinner was ready and Luo Qi called them to come over to eat in the dining room.

Tonight, Jiang Yueru cooked. Since retiring, she’d become obsessed with cooking, mastering it without a teacher. This was also the reason why Jiang Sixun’s visits to China for stir-fry had drastically decreased over the past year. Jiang Yueru would simply make him whatever he wanted, and the taste was pretty much the same as in a restaurant.

Rere was only three months old. Jiang Sixun planned to wait until Rere was a little older and then bring him back to live in China for a while, ‘so that he can meet his cousins.’

Jiang Yueru served soup to Jiang Shenghe. “Yuanwei just celebrated its 30th anniversary, and there’s a lot to do. How did you find time to come over?”

“It’s because of the influence of the upper management.”

“What happened to the top management?”

“I lied and said I was on a business trip abroad so I didn’t have to attend a dinner party with them. Then they saw me and Luo Qi at the resort.”

Jiang Yueru smiled and said, “Isn’t that exactly what you want.”

“… Aunt, don’t say that.”

Jiang Shenghe turned his head to look at Luo Qi, and Luo Qi was also looking at him with a smile.

He explained, “I really don’t want to make it public.”

Rere gave a timely snort, and Jiang Sixun took over the conversation, “Even a three-month-old puppy wouldn’t believe what you said.”

“…” Jiang Shenghe said nothing and drank the soup with a smile.

… …

After being caught by the top management, Jiang Shenghe simply did what he wanted.

On the first day of work after returning from Manhattan, he drove to the basement and got out at the same time as Luo Qi. Anyone who saw it could see it, but he arrived early and no car drove in for two minutes.

Luo Qi took his special elevator upstairs. When she entered the elevator, she raised her hand and pressed the floor button. Although her right hand was more convenient, she still pressed it with her left hand.

Jiang Shenghe noticed that the diamond ring on her hand had been replaced with the wedding ring he had customized for her. It was a pair to the ring he wore. She had always worn her ring on her middle finger, but now she changed it to her ring finger.

He saw that she had changed her ring. So did Chi Xin and Shu Rui.

Chi Xin brought a pot of roses and placed it on Luo Qi’s plant rack. She liked growing flowers, and this pot of roses was particularly well-grown, so she brought it as a gift for Luo Qi.

“Ms. Luo, when can I eat your wedding candy?”

“Soon. I will give you two.”

“Then I’m in for a treat!”

Chi Xin returned with a stack of documents signed by Luo Qi. She opened the door and almost bumped into Shu Rui. “Mr. Shu.”

Shu Rui nodded and moved aside to let her pass first.

“Thank you, Mr. Shu.” Chi Xin wondered why Shu Rui took the initiative to come to Ms. Luo’s office.

Shu Rui came to return the project plan. He had spent three weeks carefully studying Luo Qi’s plan from eight years ago, and he sorted out all the aspects that were suitable for Ruipu.

The old plan should have a different meaning to her, and so he was returning it to its original owner after use.

“It’s a good plan.”

He put it on the desk.

“You’re just in time. I was going to look for you.” Luo Qi turned on the printer and printed out the agreement from her email.

She handed him several letters of intent.

Just when he thought she went abroad to enjoy the scenery, she actually got cooperation agreements for Ruipu’s overseas markets. She was always one step ahead of him.

Shu Rui took the letter of intent from her and saw the diamond ring on her ring finger. It was different from the previous one. It also moved from the middle finger to the ring finger; this meant a change in the relationship.

“Congratulations.”

Luo Qi was startled for a moment, then reacted and said, “Thank you.”

Lu Rui closed the door and left.

Did he just reconcile with me?

In a good mood, Luo Qi made a cup of tea and stood by the window to drink afternoon tea. As she stood there, all the flowers on the potting rack were in full bloom.
