After finishing her words, Zhou Jiajia felt surrounded by a glow of wisdom and couldn't help but want to shout to the sky: Is there anyone else!
Shu Ran nodded in agreement, thinking that Zhou Jiajia made a lot of sense.
Perhaps after a while, when Qin Xian's matter blows over, the engagement won't matter anymore, so she didn't need to take it too seriously. Just as Zhou Jiajia said, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Thinking of this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Jia Jia. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Don't wait for another day; let's go tomorrow. Zheng Tong is on a business trip lately and hasn't even called me once. I'm so bored I could fly! Let's go shopping! I'm going to max out his card and let him know the consequences of ignoring me," Zhou Jiajia said through gritted teeth on the other end of the line.
Shu Ran smiled helplessly. These two adversaries had been bickering since their student days, laughing and joking around.
They had argued, been awkward with each other, and gone through cold wars, but they had never drifted apart, always staying true to their original intentions.
This is probably what love looks like.
Shu Ran felt envious.
"Okay, see you tomorrow night."
"Mm. I'm hanging up now; I'm going to eat. I'm starving."
"Mm, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Ran glanced at the time: 12:00.
Lunchtime.
She smiled lightly, feeling good today, and planned to eat two big bowls of rice later!
...
Meanwhile, Cao Yun took the elevator straight to the top floor of Qin Building, carrying a three-tier lunch box.
Ding—
The elevator doors opened.
It was lunchtime, and the top floor was quiet. Only one Secretary remained at the entrance of the general office, engrossed in eating a sandwich. Seeing him arrive, she quickly wiped her mouth and stood up to greet him, "Young Master Cao is here; President Qin is inside."
As she walked over to knock on the door for him, Cao Yun waved his hand and declined, "I'll do it myself."
Reaching the door, he suddenly turned around to remind her, "By the way, sandwiches won't fill you up. Since I'm here, you can go ahead and have your meal."
The Secretary smiled apologetically, "Thank you for that."
Cao Yun nodded and then pushed open the office door.
Qin Xian sat in his office chair, seemingly in a good mood, rapidly reviewing documents.
Cao Yun observed his undeniable excitement and began to suspect that the rumors he had heard along the way might actually be true.
"I heard that the Boss Lady of Qin Group has appeared," Cao Yun said as he sat on the sofa, putting down the lunch box and pretending to ask casually.
"Mm? Who did you hear that from?" Qin Xian paused his work and slowly walked over, responding with a question.
"The whole building is buzzing about it," Cao Yun said, sensing the implication in his words and feeling curious. "I mean, it can't be true, right?"
Qin Xian sat across from him, his expression calm, without answering.
He picked up the lunchbox on the table with his long fingers, slightly bending at the joints as he turned it. As he opened it, a fragrant aroma of food wafted into the air.
Smelling the delicious scent, Cao Yun couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Yi's cooking has really improved!"
"What movies are showing recently?" Qin Xian suddenly asked.
"Recently? Well, there's Doctor Strange and... wait, why are you asking me about movies all of a sudden?" Cao Yun suddenly realized and looked at him in confusion. After a moment, he suspiciously asked, "You’re not planning to go watch a movie, are you?"
Qin Xian paused his eating for a moment and then let out a quiet "Mm."
Cao Yun instantly exploded with excitement, asking in shock, "You're going to watch a movie? You actually want to go watch a movie? Oh my god, who are you going with?"
Cao Yun's curious gaze was fixed on him, not missing even the slightest change in his expression.
After a long while, he heard Qin Xian quietly say, "With your sister-in-law."
With your sister-in-law? With your sister-in-law? With your sister-in-law?
This phrase echoed in Cao Yun's mind like an incantation.
In other words, today's rumors were not baseless; Qin Group really had a Boss Lady.
Qin Xian is off the market now.
Oh my, if this news gets out, how many socialites will be devastated?
The first to be affected should be the young lady from the Jiang Family. Everyone in their circle knows how long she has had a crush on Qin Xian.
Unfortunately, he doesn't even glance her way, completely disregarding her.
Back then, they could still comfort themselves that Qin Xian simply wasn't interested in women, but now, he has quietly found someone.
Oh my, he can already imagine the uproar this will cause in their circle.
He steadied his mind and calmed his astonishment before asking, “You’re going to watch a movie with your sister-in-law? What movie are you planning to see? Do you need me to recommend one?”
Before Qin Xian could respond, Cao Yun eagerly chimed in, “I suggest you go see a romantic film. Do you know why?”
Cao Yun suddenly grinned mischievously and said, “Because in the dim environment of a cinema, watching couples embrace and kiss on the screen while accompanied by elegant and gentle music, you and your sister-in-law can hold hands and share sweet kisses. Tsk tsk tsk…”
Qin Xian glanced at him with lowered eyes and lightly parted his lips to say two words: “Idiot.”
Cao Yun was unfazed and continued chatting: “Bro, if you're not watching a romantic film, what are you going to see? If it’s a comedy, I strongly advise against it! As someone who has been there, I warn you not to take a girl to see a comedy!”
“Speaking of which makes me feel bittersweet. Once upon a time, I was young and reckless; I took Zhou Jiajia to see a movie, and it was a comedy.”
Cao Yun sighed dramatically, putting on an expression that suggested he had a story to tell: “At that time, we weren’t particularly close. I thought a comedy would bring us closer together; even if it didn’t work out, at least we could laugh happily. But I was only half right. We did get closer; she indeed laughed happily, but I wasn’t happy!”
“When the movie first started, she was reserved due to our unfamiliarity—just smiling softly at first, then covering her mouth while giggling. Eventually, she burst into laughter. You have no idea; her laughter could bring down the ceiling. She laughed so much that not only did she laugh out loud, but she also kept slapping my thigh while doing so.”
"When I got home, I lifted my pants, and wow, there were more than a dozen red handprints on my thigh."
"So, for your and your sister-in-law's happiness and future, I strongly advise against you watching comedy movies."
Cao Yun said this with great excitement.
Qin Xian was eating nearby, enjoying his meal while listening to him, and finally couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
Zheng Tong's Zhou Jiajia indeed had this kind of ability to make people laugh uncontrollably yet feel helpless.
"However, brother, I am really curious. What is my sister-in-law's name?"
Cao Yun was genuinely curious about what kind of extraordinary charm could have tamed Qin Xian, the ancient being.
Qin Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Shu Ran."
His voice was cool, and as he softly pronounced her name, there was an indescribable hint of intimacy.
