As expected, he’s standing up for Su Rou.

Qiao Xu sneered in her heart, glancing at Su Rou behind Lu Moqing and twitching her lips slightly.

“Oh, I didn’t know she was so delicate. If I had known she falls so easily, I wouldn’t even dare to touch her.”

Her face showed no hint of apology or guilt, but rather some hidden mockery.

Facing Lu Moqing’s act of standing up for Su Rou, she didn’t have a bit of intention to defend herself.

Not just Su Rou, even Lu Moqing could understand what she was saying just now.

He wasn’t blind to Su Rou’s intentional fall, he just didn’t deign to waste his energy on targeting her.

That kind of scheming could get her by in small matters, but if she really wanted to do something bigger, she didn’t have the capability. With Qiao Xu’s ability, she should be more than enough to deal with Su Rou’s little tricks.

However, Qiao Xu’s casual attempt to push him onto Su Rou was making him increasingly irritated.

“I apologize for startling President Lu.”

Qiao Xu’s eyes moved away from Su Rou’s face and she looked at Lu Moqing with a sarcastic grin.

And every word she spoke challenged Lu Moqing’s nerves.

“What does President Lu plan to do with me now?”

She raised her eyebrow, looking at Lu Moqing with a teasing smile.

At the side, Su Rou heard this question and her eyes flickered, quickly glancing at Lu Moqing’s uncertain expression.

Of course, she hoped that Lu Moqing would teach Qiao Xu a lesson for her, but she knew clearly that her position in Lu Moqing’s heart was not worth his doing so.

Instead of letting Qiao Xu gloat in front of her, she might as well give herself a way out and leave a better impression on Lu Moqing in the process.

“Mo Qing, you misunderstood. I fell accidentally, it has nothing to do with my sister.”

In her heart she knew, everyone had witnessed Qiao Xu pushing her, there was no need for her to emphasize it, Lu Moqing knew exactly what happened.

Her taking a step back and defending Qiao Xu would only make Lu Moqing feel more impressed by her kindness and magnanimity.

Meanwhile, she certainly hoped that Qiao Xu could change her opinion on her, giving her a chance to enter the Qiao family and become the second young lady of the Qiao family.

These little thoughts of hers were, of course, only wishful thinking on her part. Qiao Xu didn’t appreciate her “tolerance” at this moment.

“Did President Lu hear that? She fell on her own, it has nothing to do with me. I’m really hungry now, can you let me go, President Lu?”

The hand that had been on her waist finally started to loosen, and Qiao Xu, caught off guard, staggered back several steps.

Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed Lu Moqing’s arm, steadying herself before letting out a sigh of relief.

“You just asked me to let you go, but now you’re clinging to me, unwilling to leave?”

Lu Moqing’s mocking voice rang in her ears, and it was then that Qiao Xu realized she had absentmindedly held onto his arm.

Her heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm as she nonchalantly withdrew her hand.

Looking at Lu Moqing’s mocking gaze, she said indifferently, “Normally when someone realizes they’re about to fall, they would grab whomever or whatever is nearby, even cats and dogs. It’s human instinct and has nothing to do with whether I’m reluctant to leave President Lu or not.”

She explained in a calm tone, and after finishing, she turned around arrogantly and walked away nonchalantly.
