Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Hoping He’s in a Good Mood

After a bout of chaos, Qiao Yi finally understood why Lu Yanchuan had gone mad.

“Isn’t your friend still outside? Aren’t you going to let him in?”

“He has his own place to sleep.”

The phrase ‘a friend forgotten as soon as a woman appears’ seemed to describe someone perfectly. As Lu Yanchuan carried Qiao Yi upstairs, her slender legs swung over his arms, swaying and almost making them tumble onto the bed.

Qiao Yi rolled her eyes and pulled off the messy facial mask that had been rubbed askew by his suit jacket, petulantly slapping it onto Lu Yanchuan’s chest.

All this scoundrel knows is how to undress quickly, what else is he good for!

This thought had barely crossed her mind when she froze.

Since when had she grown so accustomed to Lu Yanchuan’s intimacy?

Even if the timing hadn’t been so inappropriate just now, Qiao Yi might have even gone along with Lu Yanchuan’s next move…

Could this be the effect of resignation?

She had resigned herself to her marriage with Lu Yanchuan, so she gave up struggling. Rather than fighting in vain, wouldn’t it be better to simply lie down and enjoy it?

But then why was Lu Yanchuan acting like this? Was it out of habit? Or just a simple physical impulse?

The little woman below him had frozen, offering no reaction, so Lu Yanchuan couldn’t continue his solo performance. He bit her shoulder and asked vaguely,

“What are you thinking?”

“Nothing… I’m going to wash my face first.”

Qiao Yi’s mood oddly calmed down; she calmly pushed Lu Yanchuan away, calmly walked into the bathroom, and calmly closed the door.

It seemed she was still not that calm…

Qiao Yi knew she was stubbornly fixated, but her heart was in turmoil.

She wanted to ask Lu Yanchuan directly, but did not know how to broach the subject. If she didn’t ask, she would feel even worse.

While she was conflicted, Lu Yanchuan suddenly knocked on the bathroom door.

“Master Tao’s calling.”

The phone call provided a respite for both of them. When Qiao Yi stepped out after drying her face, her composure was fully restored.

Mr. Tao’s call was to inform Qiao Yi that her jade carving was finished and had already been sent to Capital City as her birthday present.

Besides telling Qiao Yi about this, Mr. Tao also subtly expressed his desire to have a grandchild and asked her to pass the phone to Lu Yanchuan, though what they talked about was not clear.

Qiao Yi felt both helpless and touched. After Lu Yanchuan hung up, she said, “Master Tao gave us such a valuable gift. Shouldn’t we express our thanks as well?”

“Express what? Have a child sooner?”

If Lu Yanchuan said this as a joke, Qiao Yi would surely have retorted.

But Lu Yanchuan was dead serious, leaving Qiao Yi feeling emotionally complex.

“Forget it… His old man certainly doesn’t care about any reciprocation!”

Two things were currently making headlines in Capital City.

The first was about the Lu Family’s Third Young Master’s new wife, the Qiao Family’s most beloved second daughter, who would be celebrating her birthday. Mr. Lu decided to celebrate her birthday by booking the entire Capital City Hotel for the event.

The second was even more sensational; YX International was expanding its business to the domestic market, starting with Capital City.

Compared to Qiao Yi’s birthday, this news truly shocked the whole Capital City.

YX International might not be a household name to some, but many would definitely recognize its subsidiary.

The simplified application system commonly used on the internet today was invented by YX Electronic Technology, a subsidiary of YX International!

This shows just how formidable YX International really is.

However, for some unknown reason, the owner of YX recently changed the company name to LQ, though nobody really knew what YX stood for, to begin with.

Perhaps the owner of LQ likes to mix and match letters at will?

Regardless of the company’s name change, its strength is evident. Anyone who could secure the first cooperation opportunity with LQ would be grasping a golden thigh!

No one doubted LQ’s ability to penetrate the domestic market. With absolute strength, all worries are unfounded.

To compete for the opportunity to partner with LQ, Qiao Benqing called Qiao Yi back home.

“This opportunity for cooperation is very rare, and the Qiao Family must secure it! The Lu Family’s influence in the country has peaked, so they could well turn from our biggest competitor to our assistant. The rest is to prepare adequately. Yiyi, you will be in charge of this project.”

Even if the Lu Family were to break into new markets, they would only head abroad in the future, which is different from the Qiao Family; the Qiao Family still lagged far behind the Lu Family!

Though both were super-class families of Capital City, there were differences in the strength of such families.

The Qiao and Sun families might be at the same level, whereas the Lu Family stood firmly above them.

In this light, the chance to collaborate with LQ was crucial for the Qiao Family.

“Dad, I haven’t joined the company; isn’t it a bit rash to make me responsible for such an important project?”

Qiao Yi let out a wail, closing her eyes and sinking back.

She didn’t want to take on such a huge responsibility!

Qiao Benqing glared at her irritatedly and had Qiao Qiao help her sit up again.

“Who said you’d take on the project entirely? I’m asking you to take the project to Yanchuan and work on it with his help!”

The Qiao Family wasn’t lacking talent, but no one in the Qiao Family could match Lu Yanchuan’s business acumen and sharpness.

Qiao Benqing asking Qiao Yi to seek Lu Yanchuan’s assistance was a move of desperation, hoping that if Lu Yanchuan agreed to help, the success rate would skyrocket.

“Just say that then…”

Qiao Yi muttered, glancing at the documents Qiao Benqing had given her and then pouting before tossing them aside.

“What if Lu Yanchuan doesn’t lend a hand?”

“That’s your problem! However, considering how Yanchuan treats you, he will definitely help. Besides, he’s the son-in-law of the Qiao Family, isn’t it right for him to do something for his father-in-law’s family?”

Even Qiao Benqing felt embarrassed saying this.

Who in Capital City would dare to commandeer Third Young Master Lu, especially to drop such a troublesome issue on his head?

Qiao Benqing rattled off a slew of instructions; in the end, they all boiled down to one core idea: Qiao Yi must, by all means, ensure that Lu Yanchuan agrees to help the Qiao Family secure the project.

Qiao Yi was unceremoniously thrown out of the study, and thrown out along with her were her handbag and belongings.

“Mom…”

Qiao Yi saw Zhao Wenjing, looking utterly pitiful. Zhao Wenjing hugged her tablet and glanced at Qiao Yi, pretending she saw nothing.

How can they bully someone like this!

Qiao Yi looked up at the sky speechlessly, and after a long time finally sighed and resignedly took the bag full of documents back to Emperor Garden.

She hoped Lu Yanchuan was in a good mood today.
