The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1059 - 446: Madam Still Doesn’t Know What Miss Ning Experienced Before

However, upon seeing the unchanged appearance, still the same Ning Wan from the photo she had seen, all the color drained from Fang Qing’s face, as if she had seen something horrifying, she couldn’t help but take a step back.

The gaze of the small assistant standing behind Fang Qing had been fixed on Ning Wan since her appearance, not even noticing Fang Qing’s odd behavior beside her. When Fang Qing stepped back, the assistant got stepped on, unable to hold back a cry of pain, "Sister Qing..."

Fang Qing snapped out of it and looked at her assistant, but her face no longer held the gentle and calm expression she always maintained. Instead, she spoke harshly to the assistant, "Why are you standing behind me? Don’t you know to stand further away? Get lost..."

With a sharp voice full of anger, Fang Qing’s words rang out, catching Ning Wan’s attention, but she quickly looked away, focusing directly on Song Qiao across from her.

Glancing at Fang Qing was like looking at an unrecognizable passerby, her face showed no particular expression, and she lifted her feet, walking straight towards Song Qiao.

Seeing the woman approaching her, Song Qiao’s eyes couldn’t help but redden, yet when Ning Wan stood in front of her, she closed her eyes to hold back the tears about to fall, speaking with a hint of dissatisfaction and coldness, "Why did you disappear? Why didn’t you contact me? Do you know... just how worried I’ve been for you during the days we lost contact..."

Worried about whether Ning Wan had money, if she was living poorly to avoid Xi Mohan, if it was like five years ago... staying in cheap hotels, eating instant noodles, moving every two or three days...

Five years ago, when she heard Lu Jingchen talking about Ning Wan’s life before her miscarriage, it scared her to death, unable to imagine how Ning Wan got through it.

Though there was a time when they shared an apartment and lived poorly, at least they could eat good meals three times a day, buy food they liked, and didn’t have to live in hiding like that.

Song Qiao was really both angry and heartbroken for Ning Wan. How could she not know how cautious one had to be to avoid someone powerful, especially Xi Mohan?

Xi Mohan and Lu Jingchen are almost on the same level. Back then, if Chu Munan hadn’t helped her, Song Qiao might have already been found by Lu Jingchen.

But Ning Wan’s disappearance without contacting her really angered Song Qiao.

Listening to her best friend’s angry questioning in her ear, Ning Wan didn’t feel anything amiss but felt warmth in her heart, looking straight at Song Qiao, she spoke, "Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry... I didn’t think much at the time, nor did I consider your feelings, I’m sorry..."

Seeing Ning Wan in front of her with her head lowered and a face full of guilt, even if Song Qiao was still angry, it immediately dissipated. She wiped away the sudden tears rolling down her face, took a deep breath, and said to Ning Wan, "Wanwan, I hope you won’t lose contact with me like this again in the future. I really worry about you..."

Ning Wan heard her words and knew she had calmed down, hurriedly nodding, "I understand, Qiaoqiao, I won’t do it again in the future..."

Fang Qing stood two steps away from Ning Wan, her mind a chaotic mess, and finally turned around and left quickly, not wanting to stay there another second.

Ning Wan turned her head to look in Fang Qing’s direction as she left, furrowing her brows but saying nothing.

Instead, Song Qiao looked at Fang Qing’s departing figure and then at Ning Wan, saying, "Wanwan, that woman..."

"I know, that woman is Xi Mohan’s current fiancée." Before Song Qiao could finish, Ning Wan had already interrupted her.

Song Qiao was taken aback; she didn’t expect Ning Wan to know. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Ning Wan’s next words.

Ning Wan changed the subject, "Qiaoqiao, I just took a twenty-three-hour train ride, and the fast food on the train was terrible. I haven’t eaten yet. Do you have time to join me for a meal?"

Song Qiao nodded, knowing she didn’t want to discuss Xi Mohan, so she didn’t voice her own questions. Looking at Ning Wan in front of her, she instinctively reached out to touch her face, jokingly saying, "Poor child, look how skinny you are from hunger..."

Ning Wan, "..." Where was she skinny? She was actually a bit chubby, okay?

...

Inside the president’s office of CK Group, Lu Jingchen sat at the desk, looking a bit pale and gloomy, as if water could drip from his face.

His well-defined fingers held a pen, his gaze on the file in front of him, but he couldn’t read a single word.

In his mind were all the words Song Qiao said to him this morning and her resolute attitude. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the pen, almost bending it out of shape.

The office door was knocked from outside, and Lu Jingchen withdrew his gaze from the files to look in the direction of the door, speaking mildly, "Come in."

He couldn’t help but rub his brow, feeling not only emotionally agitated but mentally restless, wanting to sweep everything off the desk onto the floor.

When Assistant Xue walked in, he felt the temperature in the president’s office was even lower than the outside, unsure if it was because the air conditioning was set too low or for some other reason, but it made him involuntarily shiver.

When his gaze fell on Lu Jingchen sitting at the desk, Assistant Xue finally understood why he felt so cold. He pursed his lips but said nothing, directly walking over to place the documents in his hand on the desk, then spoke, "President, these are the freshly organized meeting materials."

Lu Jingchen responded with a simple "Mm".

Ten seconds later, Assistant Xue spoke again, "President, Miss Ning has already returned to An City and met with Madam just now, but Madam doesn’t know what Miss Ning has experienced. Should we find an opportunity to let Madam know?"

Lu Jingchen’s hand froze at his brow before he put it down. As he opened his eyes, they were slightly deep, but he said, "Don’t intervene in this matter for now. I’ll arrange for you to do other things later."

— There will be another update later.
