The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 986 - 385: Song Qiao Closely Follows Lu Jingchen

Song Qiao was indeed startled by Lu Jingchen’s fierce look, involuntarily shrinking her neck.

She truly feared that in the next second he might actually strangle her to death.

Lu Jingchen saw the look of fear that Song Qiao gave him, which made his heart ache. The hand that was on her released as if shocked by electricity, and he stepped back a bit from her.

Taking a breath, Lu Jingchen stood upright, placing both hands in his pockets without saying another word, turning around to head toward the elevator not far away.

Seeing Lu Jingchen walk away, Song Qiao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as she realized it, she quickly chased after him. She remembered she didn’t have a cent on her, and her phone, luggage, and other important documents were all with Lu Jingchen. If he left now, she’d never get her things back...

Lu Jingchen pressed the elevator button, and it swiftly stopped in front of him. Just as he took a step in, a figure ran toward him. Looking closely, Song Qiao had already rushed to his side, clutching his arm.

Turning his head slightly to look at Song Qiao, who was staring up at him, Lu Jingchen wore a gloomy expression. His voice was devoid of emotion, hoarse as he spoke, "Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see me? So what are you doing now?"

Song Qiao didn’t want this situation either, but with nothing on her, her belongings were surely still with Lu Jingchen. Naturally, she had to stick with him.

Pressing her lips, she put on an expression that seemed slightly innocent and said, "Give me back my ID and luggage, and I won’t bother you..."

Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, Lu Jingchen’s face turned even grimmer. He immediately pulled her hand off his arm, feeling an emerging urge to want to strangle her again.

It wasn’t the first time he felt this little woman needed some straightening out; time and again, he felt an urge to strangle her to death.

Seeing her face turn a bit sullen, Song Qiao realized she must have misspoken somewhere; probably due to being starved, her intelligence seemed to have abruptly decided to take a leave of absence.

Now, thinking carefully about the man who had lost control twice today, it was because of the things she previously said... including her saying she wanted to leave, it seemed that those were the moments this man reached a state of uncontrollable fury, even to the point of uttering threats.

Inside the elevator, there was a quiet stillness as they looked at each other, neither speaking a word. Perhaps it was because there were too few patients today, or maybe it was just that no one decided to take this elevator at this hour, but no one else came in. Song Qiao felt uneasy being in the same space with Lu Jingchen.

However, until the elevator stopped on the first floor, and stepping out—Song Qiao noticed quite a few people waiting for the neighboring elevator. She instinctively looked back at the elevator she had exited and finally understood why there hadn’t been anyone else riding it.

Because the elevator had the words ’Emergency Elevator’ glaringly displayed above it.

Moreover, when she followed Lu Jingchen out of the elevator, she markedly felt those who saw the two of them emerging, casting peculiar glances her way... making her immediately understand what those looks signified.

Instantly, Song Qiao felt an impulse to find a hole to crawl into...

It was utterly embarrassing.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Lu Jingchen immediately started walking out, not waiting for Song Qiao at all. Because Song Qiao was busy observing the elevator and surrounding people upon exiting, she lagged a significant distance behind.

After walking a bit, the man sensed the girl hadn’t followed; he paused in his steps, glanced back but only squinted his eyes before proceeding to leave, disregarding the girl behind.

When Song Qiao returned her focus to find Lu Jingchen, she realized he was nearly at the entrance. After pausing for a few seconds, she quickly dashed toward him. Luckily, she wasn’t in heels, or else she really wouldn’t have been able to run here.

By the time she caught up with Lu Jingchen, he was already bending down to get into the car that Assistant Xue had parked at the entrance. Without hesitating for a second, Song Qiao lunged forward, opened the car door on the other side, and climbed in, not caring about Assistant Xue, who was standing outside and getting ready to close Lu Jingchen’s door, or the driver in the driver’s seat preparing for orders to drive... both of whom gave her odd looks.

Sitting down in the car and closing the door with composure, Song Qiao finally felt like she could take a breath of relief,

Now, she didn’t care about anything—as not sticking with Lu Jingchen meant sleeping on the streets.

Assistant Xue stood by the car door, eyeing Song Qiao, who now looked justified sitting there, hesitated but ultimately turned his gaze to his Boss, clearly awaiting his orders.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Song Qiao, simply furrowing his brow slightly without saying anything, directly instructing Assistant Xue, "To the company." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Assistant Xue immediately acknowledged, closing the car door, before going to sit in the passenger seat, and instructed the driver to drive.

Song Qiao initially intended to remain silent, waiting for Lu Jingchen’s patience to wear out so he would speak first, but hearing him just direct Assistant Xue to go to the company left her puzzled for a moment. Ultimately unable to contain herself, she instinctively asked, "You’re going back to the company, then what about me?"

The man pressed his lips, saying nothing, clearly not planning to answer her question, and even starting to close his eyes to rest.

Song Qiao, "..." Huh? He was actually ignoring her?

Seeing Lu Jingchen ignoring her, Song Qiao felt so frustrated she decided not seeing him was better, directly turning her head to gaze out the window, slowly watching the scenery slide away outside.

After all, she hadn’t been back for over five years, and An City had undergone quite a few changes within those years; even several places had been redeveloped to the extent that she barely recognized them.

What Song Qiao didn’t see, as she turned her head to look out the window, was that the man, who had initially closed his eyes to rest, now couldn’t help but let a faint smile slip upon his lips—if looked at closely, you could see he was secretly grinning.
