Becoming The Business Magnate’s Spoiled Wife Chapter 125

Qu Zhen sat cross-legged on the sofa in a high-end apartment, holding the computer to sort out the experimental data.

Ding dong. The doorbell rang.

Qu Zhen ran over barefooted on the soft wool carpet. She saw Ling Chi waiting outside with a bouquet of red roses through the visual system. At first, Qu Zhen wanted to pretend she was not at home and let Ling Chi leave. However, she could not bear to do so after some hesitation and pushed the door open. She frowned and asked, “How did you know the address here? Did Qu Qi tell you?”

She moved out of the Qu family and lived in an apartment closer to the company. There were not many people who knew about it.

Ling Chi smiled and pushed his hand against the door frame as he squeezed in shamelessly.

He stuffed the bouquet of roses into Qu Zhen’s arms. “As long as I’m sincere, I will be able to find you no matter where you live…” As Qu Zhen listened to his mushy confession, the corners of her lips inevitably curled up.

Speaking of which, Ling Chi could be considered Qu Zhen’s childhood sweetheart.

Even when Qu Zhen was studying abroad, as long as she was in a bad mood, no matter where Ling Chi was or what he was doing, he would immediately put aside those matters and call Qu Zhen.

He spent nights with her through the dark times, helping her walk out of her troubles.

Qu Zhen relied on and trusted Ling Chi. Even if she saw those lewd photos with her own eyes, she could still forgive Ling Chi.

“I’m sorry. I know you’re still angry, angry at me for what I’ve done.”

Ling Chi raised his hand to slap himself, but Qu Zhen hurriedly stopped him.

“Can you give me another chance? Let us be together officially. Let me think of a way to make up for it!”

Ling Chi took the opportunity to hold Qu Zhen’s wrist, using the lowest cost to express his love.

Qu Zhen’s eyes welled up. She bit her red lips tightly and followed her heart, nodding her head in agreement.

Ling Chi hugged her happily into the bedroom and gently kissed her lips. He tenderly removed Qu Zhen’s clothes and whispered her name as he wanted her for the first time.

Late at night, Ling Chi looked at the woman beside him who did not forget to hug him even if she was sound asleep. He lifted the blanket as he frowned and quietly walked into the living room.

He flipped the laptop open and stared at the blank space where he had to enter the password and type a series of numbers.

Ding! The computer prompted that it had unlocked successfully.

Ling Chi paused for a moment. He did not expect Qu Zhen to use his birthday as the password.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still copied all the information on the progress of the drug research, the composition table, the list of patients participating in the drug clinical trial, and other specifics. Ling Chi put the USB into his pocket. He felt conflicted for a moment, but greed eventually overcame his feelings.

That night, Qu Qi saw the information package she had received in the mailbox and started her plan almost crazily.

The following morning, Qu Xiao sat in the dining room eating bread. She rubbed her aching waist, lifted her leg grievingly, and kicked Shang Yan’s knee under the table. But Shang Yan held her ankle and placed her foot between his legs.

Qu Xiao glanced at the busy butler and nanny in the kitchen, tore two pieces of bread crumbs, and threw them over.

Shang Yan saw that her face was flushed red, so he compromised and let go.

The phone at the side buzzed. Qu Xiao stuck her head out and saw Lei Qiming’s name. She flexed her fingers and turned on the speaker. “Professor? What’s the matter?”

Lei Qiming was packing his clothes in the laboratory. “I’ve received the invitation to the Overseas Forum. It’s tomorrow afternoon’s flight.”

“You can also pack lightly and meet me at the airport.”

“The information needed for the project has been prepared. According to our calculations and rehearsals, it should not be a problem for us to win the gold award successfully.”

Lei Qiming reassured Qu Xiao. The International Overseas Forum this round had a project evaluation.

Not only could the gold award receive a high amount of project funding, but it could also receive the attention of many countries and companies. It was significant for their research, development, and promotion of the sovereign drug. Qu Xiao helped Lei Qiming by staying up for a few nights to sort out a few tricky problems in the research process.

Thus, Lei Qiming decided to let Qu Xiao become a co-researcher instead of a research assistant.

“Professor, we agreed in advance that as long as the promotion of the drug advances successfully, you will hand over the contract order to me!”

Qu Xiao teased him half-jokingly, and Lei Qiming promised, “Sure, don’t be late!”

Shang Yan listened to the conversation between Qu Xiao and Lei Qiming and lowered his head to send a message to his assistant. He looked at his recent schedule and saw two meetings that could not be rescheduled. He couldn’t help but frown and communicate with his assistant about the details.

Qu Xiao returned to her room to pack her clothes and put her arm around Shang Yan’s neck as she couldn’t bear to be apart from him.

“I’m sorry, Hubby. I may have to leave for a few days.”

“Don’t miss me too much!”

Shang Yan held her face and pinched it lightly twice. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why do I hear a hint of happiness in your tone?”

Qu Xiao hurriedly pressed against her heart and took two steps back. She raised three fingers and shook them. “Absolutely not. You must have misunderstood!”

“I wish I could put you in my pocket and bring you overseas with me!”

“But there’s nothing I can do. You need to stay in the country to oversee things! What a pity.”
