The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1071 - 458: He Picked the Flowers Lu Tianming Grew and Gave Them to Her

Chapter 1071: Chapter 458: He Picked the Flowers Lu Tianming Grew and Gave Them to Her

Upon hearing Song Qiao’s response, Lu Jingchen instantly looked like a child who’s just gotten candy, his face breaking into a smile as he lowered his head to give Song Qiao a forceful kiss again.

The two lingered in the car for quite a while before Lu Jingchen reluctantly let Song Qiao get out.

The man rolled down the car window and said to Song Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, I’ll come to pick you up this afternoon."

Song Qiao thought for a moment, shook her head, and just when the man seemed a bit disappointed, she said, "I’ll finish work relatively early this afternoon. I’ll head to CK Group directly to find you then."

Having gotten an even more satisfactory answer, Lu Jingchen drove away happily.

...

Gu Xiyan had already gotten into the acting mode. As it was the final part of filming, there wasn’t much left, so everyone was starting to feel a bit tense, given that they were already preparing to shoot the grand finale.

When Song Qiao arrived, Gu Xiyan was filming not far away. Wearing high heels, Song Qiao headed straight towards Gu Xiyan, her gaze falling on Fang Qing nearby, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Fang Qing looked a bit under the weather, possibly because she hadn’t rested well or for some other reason, she appeared somewhat haggard.

Perhaps sensing someone watching her, Fang Qing, who was initially distractedly reading the script, looked up and saw Song Qiao standing there. Her expression changed subtly and she quickly looked away.

Song Qiao, "..." Do I really look that intimidating?

Actually, she understood that Fang Qing’s awkwardness was probably due to seeing Ning Wan yesterday, which made her uneasy now.

Song Qiao didn’t mind; Xi Mohan had long forgotten about Ning Wan after his memory loss and chose to be with Fang Qing. Meanwhile, Ning Wan messaged her this morning saying she would stay in An City for a few days to handle some matters before leaving, so she wouldn’t do anything drastic.

Regarding Xi Mohan and Ning Wan’s relationship, Song Qiao could only sigh.

Sigh... at the unfairness of fate.

Ning Wan loved Xi Mohan for over a decade, dedicating her entire youth to him, yet that man didn’t cherish it at all, choosing to be with Ning Yan’er.

Back then, Ning Yan’er and Wanwan could be said to mutually detest each other, unable to get along. Despite knowing Ning Wan liked him, Xi Mohan chose to be with the person Ning Wan was most incompatible with, was he deliberately trying to provoke Ning Wan?

No wonder Ning Wan later stopped loving him and wanted to leave him.

Men are sometimes just awful, only realizing how to cherish when the one who loves them most stops loving them and wants to leave.

But by then, it’s already too late.

While lost in thought, a somewhat surprised voice came, "Sister Qiao."

Song Qiao snapped back to reality and looked over to see Gu Xiyan’s assistant approaching her, a gentle smile appearing on her face, teasingly saying, "Xiao Zhang, you seem in a good mood today. What’s made you so happy?"

Xiao Zhang’s face showed a slightly embarrassed look, awkwardly responding, "Do I look that obvious?"

Song Qiao, "..." Did I really get it right?

After glancing her over, Song Qiao smiled, "I was just making a wild guess, didn’t expect to actually guess correctly."

"Actually, it’s not a big deal. Earlier, Sister Qiao, someone sent you a big bouquet of roses and breakfast for everyone in the crew. Thanks to you, the crew had a very nice breakfast..."

Because of this, the people in the crew started to look at them differently, those who once treated them like servants were now engaging in calm conversations, making him feel quite respected.

Song Qiao was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at the assistant and asked, "Who sent it?"

"Mr. Lu..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Song Qiao, "..." Lu Jingchen?

Why didn’t she know this man arranged all these things?

When Xiao Zhang led her towards Gu Xiyan’s dressing room, she indeed saw a large bouquet of roses.

There were still water droplets on the roses, making them look very fresh and vibrant. As soon as she entered the dressing room, the scent of roses filled the air, not too strong, rather pleasant.

Walking directly to the bouquet, Song Qiao saw the card on it, her slender fingers picking it up to take a look. Sure enough, it bore Lu Jingchen’s name, causing a sudden inexplicable feeling of emotion, yet she muttered something contradictory, "So much for being grown up, doing such romantic things, it’s really... wasting money."

Just as she was moved to the point of nearly having a runny nose, her phone rang in her pocket. Song Qiao took it out and was surprised to see it was a call from Lu Jingchen.

She quickly swiped the answer button, placed the phone to her ear, and with a somewhat hoarse voice, said hello.

The man on the other end of the line seemed to chuckle, a hint of laughter in his voice, and said, "Did you see the flowers?"

Song Qiao’s fingers fiddled with the roses, muttering, "Why buy such a big bouquet of flowers? Are they free?"

"Mm, they’re free." Surprisingly, the man really said they were free, then Lu Jingchen continued to explain, "These are flowers from the garden at the mansion. I asked Assistant Xue to go there this morning to cut them, then wrap and send them to you."

Immediately, the initial feeling of emotion Song Qiao had vanished into thin air.

If she remembered correctly, the flowers in the garden at the Lu Family Mansion were all personally cultivated by Lu Tianming.

Ever since CK Group was handed over to Lu Jingchen, Lu Tianming didn’t have much to do. After retiring, his favorite pastime was to plant and nurture flowers.

And if Song Qiao remembered correctly, Lu Tianming seemed to cherish his flowers a lot, preferring to let them wither in the garden rather than let anyone pick them.

Thinking of this, Song Qiao nervously asked, "You picked flowers your father planted, won’t he skin you alive later?"

The man on the other end of the line was silent for about half a minute before casually responding, "I actually wanted to do this long ago. Since he always made things difficult for you, picking his flowers and giving them to you, I’d willingly let him skin me alive."

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao couldn’t help bursting into laughter, understanding that Lu Jingchen was standing up for her.
