By the way, a "Tall, Rich, and Handsome" just sent me a whole basket of roses. How about that? Your wife’s charm is still pretty impressive, isn’t it?
...
After editing the message, Xu Xia sent it directly to Leng Zirui’s phone.
She knew his phone was off and he couldn’t receive these messages, but she still persisted in writing him messages every day.
Firstly, to ease the pain of longing, and secondly, with the hope of giving him a surprise.
One day, when he returns to Beijing and turns on his phone, what will his expression be when he sees it flooded with her messages?!
After sending the text, Xu Xia held the phone in her palm.
She lifted her hand, gently kissing the rainbow ring on her finger that Leng Zirui had given her.
"Hubby, if only you were in Rome, I really... miss you so much."
...
...
Achoo!
In the private room, Leng Zirui sneezed loudly again.
"ROY, are you okay?" Ah Ke, sitting beside him, asked with some concern, "Should we turn up the air conditioning?"
"I’m fine." Leng Zirui rubbed his slightly sore nose, "I guess some girl is thinking about me."
Ah Ke chuckled suggestively, "Could it be Lei Qingqing?"
"Her?" Leng Zirui laughed heartily, "She probably wishes she could skin me alive right now, doesn’t she?"
"Sir!" An assistant walked in from outside, "Mr. Lei and his party have arrived."
"Alright."
Leng Zirui stood up and went to the door with Ah Ke, and sure enough, saw Lei Wenting leading Lei Qingqing and a few assistants up the stairs.
"Mr. Lei." Leng Zirui immediately greeted them with a smile, shaking hands with Lei Wenting, his gaze landing on Lei Qingqing beside him, "Miss Qing Qing, long time no see."
Lei Wenting returned the smile, and although Lei Qingqing felt disgust, she also wore a faint smile on her face.
"Long time no see, Mr. ROY."
"If Mr. ROY wants to eat Chinese food, you should come to my place. Why go to such lengths?" Lei Wenting said with a smile.
"It’s different. I said I’m treating, so let me treat." Leng Zirui turned and lifted a hand, "After you, please!"
Everyone walked into the room, taking their seats. Lei Wenting deliberately seated Lei Qingqing between Leng Zirui and himself. Although Lei Qingqing was somewhat reluctant, she didn’t refuse.
After all, everything was for business. Though she didn’t like ROY, she knew she had to make the most of ROY now.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Leng Zirui turned the conversation to the main topic.
"The matter regarding Russia’s energy that Mr. Lei mentioned before, Mr. Luo Ke has now entrusted entirely to me." Leng Zirui raised his hand to pick up a glass, "If Mr. Lei is still interested, we can have a nice collaboration."
"That’s fantastic." Lei Wenting smiled, clinking his glass lightly with him, "To a pleasant cooperation."
The energy business was merely a front. Both of them knew they weren’t just talking about business but genuine collaboration.
Leng Zirui slightly squinted his eyes with a smile at Lei Qingqing, "Miss Qing Qing, won’t you join me for a drink?"
Despite her disdain, Lei Qingqing took her glass, unusually showing him a slight smile, "To a pleasant cooperation."
"With Miss Qing Qing around, our collaboration is sure to be delightful." Leng Zirui smiled, tipping his head back and downing the drink.
Lei Wenting motioned for his subordinates to leave, then seriously asked, "I wonder, Mr. ROY, when do you plan to take action?"
