?Chapter 66: 66, finish talking and scram immediately_1 Chapter 66: 66, finish talking and scram immediately_1 For a while, rumors about Chu Ruohan and Khan were rampant throughout the city. Standing in the lobby downstairs, Chu Ruohan could hear the employees whispering to each other. As a traditionally well-regarded woman, she had never faced such a situation. She was frustrated, but she had to maintain her image and couldn’t throw a tantrum.

Seeing Yi Kai return from a phone call, Chu Ruohan quickly went up to him, “So, has Jingwu finished the meeting?”

Gazing at her eager look, Yi Kai snorted inwardly, “You can go up now.”

Believing that it was Quan Jingwu who had sent for her, a smile spread across Chu Ruohan’s face, and she felt a flutter of excitement.

He cared for her, otherwise why would he call her up right after the meeting?

Yes, that’s right, she still held a place in his heart.

Seeing her happy expression, Yi Kai shook his head.

She was dreaming in broad daylight, and even wasn’t picky about the object of her fantasy. Should he call her foolish or naive?

Chu Ruohan cheerfully headed straight for the elevator. Just as she was about to press the elevator button, Yi Kai hastily called out to her.

“Miss Chu, you can’t use this elevator.”

Chu Ruohan’s hand froze in the air, she turned and glared at Yi Kai, displeased, “Why not?”

That day, Jian Qing had taken this elevator, and she wanted to take it too.

Stepping forward, Yi Kai stood in front of her, “I’m sorry, but this is the CEO’s private elevator, outsiders are not allowed to use it. Please use the other elevator.”

If the boss found out that he had allowed Chu Ruohan to use this elevator, he would probably be in big trouble.

“Why can Jian Qing use it, and I can’t?” Chu Ruohan’s fist tightened as she asked resentfully.

Yi Kai’s face remained indifferent, “Miss Jian was personally permitted by the boss.”

Chu Ruohan clenched her teeth, staying put with her eyes conveying her resolute intention to take that elevator.

“Miss Chu, if you don’t go now, you may not be able to go up today.” Yi Kai said with a slight smile.

He didn’t have the time to stay here with her, he had a pile of work waiting for him, and a beautiful woman waiting for him after work.

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Ruohan finally headed to the other elevator. As she turned, her eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger.

Watching her enter the elevator, Yi Kai let out a sigh of relief and pressed the button to the CEO’s private elevator to go upstairs.

Once out of the elevator, Chu Ruohan looked at the empty and quiet passage, and her heart fluttered at the thought of seeing him soon.

The office door was ajar. Chu Ruohan took a deep breath, mustered a gentle smile on her face, and went in.

“Jingwu…”

Her soft voice came to an abrupt stop when she saw who was sitting on the couch in the distance. The smile on Chu Ruohan’s face froze.

Why was she here? Why was she in his office?

Jian Qing was sitting on the couch, legs crossed, a hint of a smile on her face as she watched Chu Ruohan standing at the door.

Could she interpret her surprised face as a sign of being overly excited?

“Jian Qing, why are you here?” Recovering, Chu Ruohan quickly came forward, her face resembling someone who had swallowed a fly.

Lifting her chin, Jian Qing said indifferently, “Do I need to report to you about my presence here?”

“Where’s Jingwu? Where is he?” Chu Ruohan scanned the entire office, didn’t see him anywhere, and her tone quickly became irate.

“Ha!” Jian Qing raised an eyebrow, “He’s in a meeting.”

“You’re lying, him and Yi Kai told me to come up.” Chu Ruohan said angrily.

“Did Yi Kai really say that?” Jian Qing chuckled, her finger traced the edge of the coffee cup, “I’m afraid that you’re mistaken, it was me who told Yi Kai to let you in.”

Chu Ruohan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her heart went cold, “It’s impossible, it can’t be.”

This was his office, how could Jian Qing have the authority to make decisions here? She didn’t believe her.

“Well, the person you’re talking about is here, you can ask him.” Jian Qing’s gaze moved past her, looking at the person at the entrance. She wore a light smile.

When she heard this, Chu Ruohan swiftly turned around and saw a man walking in the door. Her angry face immediately transformed into a gentle and pleasing face.

“Jingwu.”

The sweet voice almost made Jian Qing’s skin crawl.

Tsk, no one’s expression changed faster than hers.

Quan Jingwu walked past her, seemingly ignoring her existence, and went straight to Jian Qing.

“Xiaojing!” Jian Qing waved at him, her soft voice broke his cold exterior and revealed a hint of warmth.

Chu Ruohan stood still, unbelievingly watching Quan Jingwu, as if he was a heartless man, “Jingwu, you…”

Did she call him Xiaojing?

Did she hear that right?

How could this haughty man allow Jian Qing to call him so affectionately, and sit so intimately next to her?

“Is the food good?” Sitting down next to her, Quan Jingwu ran his fingers through her hair. His usually cold voice had a touch of tenderness.

Jian Qing looked annoyed, she brushed off his hand, “Stop messing up my hair, it’s almost like a bird’s nest.”

Quan Jingwu looked at her slightly angry face and smiled, “Even a bird’s nest looks good on you.”

Good on you, my foot! Jian Qing thought to herself.

Their public display of affection angered Chu Ruohan, she felt a surge of anger, almost burning up all her logic.

“Eh, someone’s here for you.” Jian Qing pointed to his arm, her eyes clear, teasing, “A beauty is right at your doorstep, you should take a good look.”

Such a sour tone.

Quan Jingwu couldn’t help but smile at her amusement, he flicked her forehead, “What’s on your mind.”

Jian Qing gave him a glance and humphed.

“Who let you come up here?” Quan Jingwu looked up at Chu Ruohan, his face immediately lost the gentleness. His deep purple eyes were filled with unfathomable emotions, with just a quick glance, Chu Ruohan felt a chill in her heart.

It felt as if a giant iron hand was choking her, she could barely breathe, forgetting her original purpose of coming here.

“I…”

Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous.

Chu Ruohan clenched her fists, trying to calm herself down, “Jingwu, I came here to explain that I have nothing going on with Khan, we were just discussing work that day…”

“What’s that got to do with me?” Quan Jingwu looked at her coldly and said, “Speak up and leave.”

He had no need to be polite with the one who disturbed his precious moments with his darling.

Suppressing a laugh, Jian Qing found the man next to her quite fitting to her taste.

Arrogant, cocky, and domineering.

It seemed like the recent scandal wasn’t caused by Chu Ruohan, but Khan was clearly caught up in it.

She wondered how things were going with Xiya.

“You…” Chu Ruohan stood still, her body shaking, replaying the scene of his impatient gaze and him telling her to leave, over and over in her mind.

How could he be so cruel to her? She was the one who fell in love with him first. Jian Qing had just appeared not long ago, and he was already treating her so gently, this wasn’t fair.
