Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Mr. Song, Are You So Jealous?

His neckline slightly open, the attractive lines of his collarbone faintly visible.

Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze shifted back to Song Sinian’s refined yet abstinent face, and she couldn’t help but swallow.

Alright, she admitted that even if it happened again, she would still fall into it.

Lu Zhaozhao raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, trying to calm down the emotions she just had, then forced a smile and looked at Song Sinian. “Mr. Song, let’s have something to eat.”

Saying this, she extended her small hand towards Song Sinian.

Song Sinian’s gaze fell on her small hand, his brow and eyes faintly moved, and he took it.

But he didn’t show any hint of getting up, as if he was in a mood.

Seeing this, Qian Hong immediately put down the tray she was holding, “Sir, ma’am, there’s still a lot left to handle in the kitchen. Take your time with your meal. I guess it will take me a very long time to come back…”

She said this, nodded to both of them, and quickly left.

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao’s lips twitched, she could understand being busy with kitchen duties, but what was that “very long time to come back” about?

She sighed helplessly and turned her head to look at Song Sinian again, her patience wearing thin as she asked again, “Mr. Song, would you like to try the sweet soup?”

Song Sinian’s voice slightly lifted as he replied softly, “Yes.”

“Well…”

We could eat together.

Lu Zhaozhao was about to speak when she saw Song Sinian curiously playing with her small hand, his long fingers slightly stretched and then clasping hers.

“Uh…”

Lu Zhaozhao froze, staring blankly at Song Sinian.

“Did you have fun going out today?” Song Sinian seemed not to notice Lu Zhaozhao’s little expression, he slowly sat up but still did not let go of her tightly clasped fingers.

His voice was soft, carrying a rare gentleness.

Lu Zhaozhao came back to her senses and thought for a bit, “It was alright today…”

Thinking of seeing Justin during the day, her brow slightly furrowed.

In her previous life, the affairs of XJ Group were as inconsequential to her as entertainment gossip.

But ever since she found out Xia Wenjue was closely acquainted with the CEO of XJ, she started to worry that the Xia Family might get dragged into the internal strife of XJ Group.

Lu Zhaozhao, holding the spoon in the sweet soup, suddenly paused, her eyes fixing on Song Sinian, “Mr. Song, could you help me investigate the matter of XJ Group?”

“…”

Song Sinian’s brow faintly lifted, she knew?

“I ran into Xia Wenjin and a regional vice president of XJ Group while shopping with big brother today. He said, that regional vice president of XJ Group is my cousin…”

Lu Zhaozhao quickly recounted what happened during the day, but when she thought about the reason to ask Song Sinian to investigate XJ Group, she got stuck again.

She couldn’t just say she wants to investigate the XJ Group because it will have internal turmoil in the future, could she?

Lu Zhaozhao subconsciously bit her lip, thinking, when suddenly her chin was caught by someone.

“Stop biting.” Song Sinian’s voice was cool, “Just tell me what you want to investigate.”

His thumb gently pried open her small mouth, his fingertip lightly rubbing against the edge of her lips.

His adorable wife always had her little secrets, still a bunch that she wouldn’t share with others.

What could he do?

Song Sinian’s indulgence made her tiny heart tremble slightly.

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, “I want to know the current situation inside XJ, is it too much trouble?”

Song Sinian pulled her into his arms, his eyes narrowed slightly, “It’s not troublesome, the XJ Group and Song Group are looking to cooperate, and mutual understanding between partners is within reasonable limits.”

Lu Zhaozhao secretly sighed with relief, then casually said, “My elder brother mentioned that he seems to have a good relationship with the current president of XJ… Hmm?”

Her words were cut off as Song Sinian’s lips pressed against hers.

Lu Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows in surprise, fixing her gaze on Song Sinian, “Song… Hmm!”

His lips pressed harder than before, and he only slowly let her go when he saw she wouldn’t speak further.

“I don’t want to hear about other men from you now,” Song Sinian’s black eyes drooped, his voice growing lower.

Lu Zhaozhao paused, then couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “Mr. Song, are you that jealous?”

Her eyes and brows were smiling as she looked into the depths of his eyes, twinkling like stars.

Song Sinian’s fingertips gently pinched her wrist, his voice low, “Don’t you like it?”

Lu Zhaozhao, looking into his burning black eyes, felt her heart tremble and involuntarily swallowed, “Like, I like…”

He turned her wrist over, pressing it against his cheek, “Then don’t mention others, just focus on me, alright?”

Her palm rested against his cheek, the warm touch making her heart thud wildly.

Even though she had taught him everything, his adept use of those teachings clearly overwhelmed her.

Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, her other hand pressing her chest, “It’s quite nice, but it’s a bit tough on the heart…”

…

The day of the Jade Vein auction arrived just like in her previous life, and heavy rain poured down.

Lu Zhaozhao stood in the long corridor of the auction, looking at the gloomy sky outside, feeling a mix of emotions.

Suddenly, she felt warmth on her shoulder as a familiar cold fragrance enveloped her with a cozy suit jacket.

“You’re dressed so lightly, it’s easy to catch a cold.”

Song Sinian, recalling the last time she caught a cold and fever from the rain, unconsciously furrowed his brow.

Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her watery eyes obediently and responded, “Understood, Mr. Song.”

As she was about to pull Song Sinian towards the auction hall, she noticed Xia Wenjue standing not far away.

He was awkwardly holding his own coat, seemingly having just taken it off.

“Big brother?” Lu Zhaozhao was slightly surprised, “What brings you here today?”

Xia Wenjue awkwardly pulled at the corner of his mouth, then put his coat back on, “I just happened to be attending the auction today, just here for the excitement.”

He touched his nose unconsciously as he spoke.

“I see,” Lu Zhaozhao nodded thoughtfully.

In her past life, the Xia Family hadn’t recognized her for various reasons, so she wasn’t sure if Xia Wenjue had attended this auction.

If he was just here for the excitement, there probably wouldn’t be any changes, right?

Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao followed Song Sinian and Xia Wenjue towards the auction hall.

Since everyone attending the auction was a prominent figure in Shangjing, aside from bidding for the Jade Vein, the rest naturally involved networking and discussing collaborations.

Thus, as soon as Song Sinian, Lu Zhaozhao, and Xia Wenjue entered the hall, they immediately caught the attention of everyone.

Among these, there were glares filled with distinct resentment constantly fixed on their group…
