Chapter 220: Qiaoqiao Acting Coquettish

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Murong Qiao’s words seemed to have planted a seed in Zheng Yue’s heart.

It only needed the right timing to break out of the ground and germinate.

“These documents need your signature.” Jiang Chi placed a thick stack of documents on Murong Qiao’s desk.

Only then did Murong Qiao snap out of her daze and respond. She couldn’t take her eyes off the contract in front of her.

In the past two days, the company had experienced exponential growth. The artists started to get work projects one after another, and many things needed Murong Qiao to personally take a look. Even after many employees had left, Murong Qiao was still working overtime in the office.

Jiang Chi also considerately didn’t say anything but closed the door softly.

“Sigh.” Murong Qiao could not help but sigh.

She originally thought that she was very good at reading ten lines at a time, but when she faced the endless contract information, her eyes turned sore.

After confirming that there was no mistake, she closed the document and placed it aside. She let out a long sigh of relief and her tense body relaxed slightly as she leaned against the back of the chair. Her temples throbbed and her forehead hurt.

Then, her cell phone suddenly vibrated. Murong Qiao was so tired that she moved only her finger to unlock it.

It was a message from Zheng Yue. Seeing that the sender was not Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao’s mood fell again.

“I’m dazzled by the documents. I want a hug…” Murong Qiao pouted.

She took a photo of herself with her phone and sent it to Huo Yichen. Then, she scrolled up.

The record of the last sentence stopped at yesterday morning. Murong Qiao’s gaze fell on the blank record interface where the two of them said good morning to each other. In her heart, she hoped that Huo Yichen would feel less pressured in the Huo family.

Recently, she had been busy with the company. After Huo Yichen returned home, he devoted his energy to his studies and so, the two of them were so busy that they didn’t even make a phone call.

After Murong Qiao sent the message, she turned around and opened the message from Zheng Yue.

There was a hint of familiarity in her words. “Qiaoqiao, 1 want to attend the banquet with him. Can you lend me some clothes?”

Of course, Zheng Yue had clothes to wear, but the ones Nan Kang gave her were still far inferior to the socialites at the banquet.

After sending the message, she waited for Murong Qiao’s reply. After sitting on the chair for a while, she stood up again with something on her mind.

“I really like him, but I really can’t wear out my clothes… Qiaoqiao, please.” Seeing that Murong Qiao didn’t reply, Zheng Yue sent another message.

Murong Qiao had just finished reading the last sentence when she saw the message refresh.

Her gaze fell on Zheng Yue’s words. Her expression was meaningful and a little embarrassed.

Even though Murong Qiao didn’t see it with her own eyes, she knew that Nan Kang definitely treated Zheng Yue well. Zheng Yue was simply good at pretending that she didn’t have clothes to wear.

Murong Qiao’s gaze swept across her words, but she didn’t reply. She simply just put her phone aside.

However, Zheng Yue could not sit still anymore. The banquet was approaching, and her originally relaxed mood became nervous. Her gaze on the chat box gradually became anxious, and she frowned.

Why wasn’t she replying?

“Qiaoqiao…”

“The banquet is about to begin…”

The phone screen lit up constantly, and the frequency of messages gradually increased.

Murong Qiao supported her chin with her hand and looked down at the phone screen with her beautiful eyes. The corners of her mouth were curled into a faint smile, as if she could not sense Zheng Yue’s anxiety at all.

Seeing that the call could not go through, Zheng Yue called again.

However, as time passed, Zheng Yue looked at the closet in frustration. Was she going to wear her clothes?

Nan Kang sent a message saying that the person picking her up was already on the way which annoyed Zheng Yue even more.

Finally, when the tenth call rang, Murong Qiao reached out and picked it up.

“Qiaoqiao! You finally picked up the phone! 1 want to go to the banquet, but 1 don’t have any suitable clothes. Can I trouble you to lend me some?” Zheng Yue said quickly.

Seeing that the call had finally gone through, she finally felt relieved.

Murong Qiao only said slowly after she finished speaking, “Sure.”

This “yes” sounded like heaven to Zheng Yue. Her eyebrows flew up, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

“Thank you so much, Qiaoqiao!” Zheng Yue quickly thanked her and heaved a sigh of relief.

With Murong Qiao’s help, Zheng Yue was relieved.

For the past two days, Zheng Yue had been thinking about her relationship with Nan Kang. What Murong Qiao said unintentionally made her start to reflect on the stability of this relationship.

Due to their fragile relationship, Zheng Yue realized that if Nan Kang didn’t like her, he could leave at any time.

However, she couldn’t lose this backing. She couldn’t lose Nan Kang and return to her down-and-out days.

Therefore, she tried her best to change herself and appear to be on the same level as Nan Kang. At the same time, she was also thinking about how she could maintain a strong relationship with Nankang.

Knock knock knock.

“There’s a package for you,” someone shouted from outside the door.

Zheng Yue immediately stood up and opened the door to sign for it. She carried the box back to her room and opened it.

Inside was a lady’s gown with matching jewelry. As soon as Zheng Yue opened the box, she gasped at the dress.

It was the clothes Murong Qiao had sent over. The delivery speed was shockingly efficient.

Zheng Yue reached out and touched the dress. The mist-like fabric was smooth to the touch, making one unable to put it down. Even if Zheng Yue did not know the logo on the box, she knew that the price of this set was definitely not something she could afford.

“I received the dress.” She sent a message to Murong Qiao.

Zheng Yue tried it on and was very satisfied when she saw herself in the mirror. She even sent Murong Qiao a photo of herself trying it on.

This was the difference between her and those rich young ladies. Although she couldn’t afford it, she could borrow it from Murong Qiao. Zheng Yue’s mind was racing.

Murong Qiao was resting. When she saw the photo Zheng Yue had sent her, she clicked on it and looked at it carefully.

Considering Zheng Yue’s suitable style and Nan Kang’s preferences, Murong Qiao specially chose a water-colored dress. It was slim and looked soft. Coupled with Zheng Yue’s figure, it would not show her shortcomings, and it would accentuate her softness.

Murong Qiao replied, “You look good in it. He’ll definitely be stunned to see you.”

Zheng Yue couldn’t help but feel happy when she heard her sincere encouragement.

Under Murong Qiao’s encouragement, she was now even more certain.

This dress was chosen according to Nan Kang’s taste. He would definitely like it.

Seeing Zheng Yue walk in the direction she wanted, Murong Qiao’s mood also became happy and she could not suppress his anticipation.

She signed on the blank space with the tip of her pen and settled a document. She hummed a casual tune in a good mood and did not feel that her work was boring anymore.

At night, Zheng Yue went to the banquet in the dress Murong Qiao had given her. The effect was indeed stunning.

“You’re very suitable for this style. You can try out more similar styles next time.” Nan Kang also praised.

The water-colored gown swayed with Zheng Yue’s footsteps. The reflected light on the fabric rippled as if it was alive, making its way into Nan Kang’s heart.

He really loved gentleness and Zheng Yue’s outfit today perfectly displayed this point.

Zheng Yue had also put on light makeup, which made her look even more beautiful. She smiled and held Nan Kang’s arm, looking elegant.

She nodded. “I’m glad you like it.”

Zheng Yue’s tone slowed down a little. Her soft voice was gentle, and even the way she lifted her hair was pleasing to Nan Kang’s eyes.

Nan Kang was especially happy at this banquet, so much so that when it ended, he changed his decision to go home and went straight to Zheng Yue’s house.

Nan Kang and Zheng Yue went from the door to the bedroom, their coats and ties scattered all over the floor.

His enthusiasm rose to the peak, but Nan Kang’s rationality suppressed it and reminded it of the key matter.

“Take your pill first,” Nan Kang said.

He liked Zheng Yue, but he had no intention of having a child with her. Therefore, he always asked Zheng Yue to take birth control pills beforehand.

Zheng Yue obediently listened to him. She took out a pill from the drawer beside her and put it in her mouth. She took a sip of water and swallowed it before opening her mouth to show Nan Kang.

Even though his body was unbearable from the heat, Nan Kang still forced himself to calm down and check carefully. After confirming that Zheng Yue had taken the contraceptive pill, he continued to move impudently.

Zheng Yue obediently lay in his arms as the bitterness of the medicine lingered in her mouth.

The bitter taste made her realize something. Like a drop of water, it entered the soil and gradually grew new buds.

The question that had troubled Zheng Yue previously seemed to have a flash of inspiration at this moment. It was driven forward by the thoughts in her mind and she suddenly had an idea.

She might not be young forever and unable to keep Nan Kang by her side, but if she could get pregnant with Nan Kang’s child…

The nature of their relationship would change.. If she had a child, she would definitely be able to hold onto Nan Kang tightly!
