Chapter 341 They kissed and hugged.
"Honey, I miss you."
Qiao Luo had prepared herself to discuss business with him, but she was taken aback by his sudden remark.
Especially that "wife," he called out so tenderly and affectionately that in such a serious setting, the string that Qiao Luo had been holding in snapped instantly.
But she quickly recovered, took a step back to create distance between them, and said:
"Mr. Lu, let me reiterate, I am here today on behalf of Caijing Magazine to discuss work with you. Please be more professional, Mr. Lu."
She had a cold face, didn't look at him, and spoke in an icy tone.
Lu Tingnian didn't care at all, and instead stepped forward again.
"Honey, don't be like this. We haven't seen each other in so long. Why don't we catch up first?"
He continued forward as he spoke.
Seeing that the distance between them was about to disappear, Qiao Luo hurriedly retreated, but he continued to press forward. She had no choice but to retreat until she was forced into a corner with nowhere left to go. Only then did she grit her teeth and explode.
"What are you doing? I've already made it clear to you that I'm here for work, so why are you acting like this..."
Forcing me...
However, before she could finish speaking, he had already reached out and hugged her tightly.
Qiao Luo was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening and tried to struggle, but he was too strong and she couldn't break free no matter what she did, so she could only let him hold her like that.
It was only after a long while that Lu Tingnian finally spoke.
"Wife, don't you miss me at all?"
Qiao Luo ignored her.
He said it again:
"But I miss you, I really miss you."
Seeing that she still didn't speak, he hugged her tighter and even gently kissed her neck when she was distracted.
Qiao Luo originally planned to wait until he calmed down before pushing him away, but unexpectedly he took advantage of her kindness. When his hot, wet kiss landed on the back of her neck, her whole body stiffened suddenly, and she became unable to move, as if she had been paralyzed. It was not until a long time later that the pressure point was released.
She pushed him away with all her might.
"Lu Tingnian, have you no shame?"
He actually stole a kiss from her when she wasn't paying attention.
Lu Tingnian never intended to care about saving face this time. His wife was about to die, so what did he have to do with saving face?
Even so, he still refused to admit it.
"Of course I do."
"If you have any shame, don't come near me. Stay away from me, or I'll leave right now."
Qiao Luo warned angrily.
Seeing that her face was red with anger, Lu Tingnian quickly gave in.
"Okay, I won't come near you, I promise. Let's talk about work."
Anyway, he already kissed and hugged her.
Hearing how quickly he compromised and even offered to talk about work, Qiao Luo was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Then please step back and sit down."
She was really afraid that he would go back on his word and pull the same trick again.
Lu Tingnian naturally didn't object and quickly did as instructed.
Seeing that he sat down a little further away from her as requested, Qiao Luo sat down as well and said to him, "I came today to discuss the content of our collaboration with your company's journal for the next issue. I heard that your company has changed to a new team for liaison, so I would appreciate it if Mr. Lu could help make the arrangements so that we can finalize the plan as soon as possible."
After Qiao Luo finished speaking, Lu Tingnian did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at her for a while before replying with a smile:
"I am the new team leader."
"You?" Qiao Luo asked in surprise.
Lu Tingnian nodded, "That's right, it's me. So, tell me what you're thinking."
After he finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, staring at her with a half-smile.
It's as if it's saying: Surprised? Unexpected?
Qiao Luo was furious; she finally understood why they had made things difficult for Bai Ge before.
"So, you did it on purpose!"
She used an affirmative tone.
Lu Tingnian did not refute.
Qiao Luo took it as an admission.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, in that case, please take a look at this proposal. If you think it's okay, I'll take it to the journal for review."
Then, he tossed the proposal across the table.
