The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 785 - 234 Feeling Bad Early in the Morning

Chapter 785: Chapter 234 Feeling Bad Early in the Morning

For some reason, Song Qiao always felt strange today, as if something was about to happen, yet she couldn’t figure out the source of her unease.

With a hum, Song Qiao directly sat beside Lu Jingchen who immediately put down his newspaper, fetched her a bowl of congee, and placed it beside her hand, filling the air with its sweet and soft scent.

"It’s still very hot. Drink it later, eat an egg first." Seeing Song Qiao reaching for the spoon to start eating, Lu Jingchen was quick to snatch the spoon from her hand and replaced it with an egg.

Song Qiao looked at the bowl of steaming, appetizing red bean congee in front of her. Unable to taste it, she looked at the egg in her hand and felt somewhat indignant because it was simply not on the same level.

Her restless mood all morning made her somewhat unhappy. She turned her head to the man beside her and complained discontentedly, "If you won’t let me drink the congee, why do you tempt me by placing it in front of me?"

Seeing Song Qiao looking dejected, Lu Jingchen’s expression remained unchanged. He only raised his eyebrows slightly before asking, "You seem in a bad mood this early in the morning? What happened? Who made you angry?"

Facing Lu Jingchen’s demeanor and his words, Song Qiao suddenly felt even more frustrated, yet she couldn’t vent it out and just gritted her teeth before blurting out, "You!"

Lu Jingchen’s expression became more meaningful, and without any extra gestures, he leaned in close to her, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, "Didn’t I sate you well last night?"

Song Qiao, "..." What a rogue!

Knowing that Lu Jingchen actually had a thicker skin than anyone else, and importantly, he always appeared so proper in front of outsiders, making everyone think he was a cultured and classy man. Only she knew that once in bed, this man was nothing but a beast...

She turned her head away, and because the spoon was taken by the man beside her, she resigned to peeling the eggshell herself. Not typically fond of eggs, she now bit into the peeled egg as if she was biting into Lu Jingchen beside her.

Because she ate too hastily and since eggs are easy to get choked on, Song Qiao soon found herself in discomfort from choking.

Lu Jingchen slightly furrowed his brows, poured a cup of boiling water, and handed it to her lips, "Why eat in such a hurry? No one is fighting over it with you, drink some water to ease it."

Song Qiao hastily took the water cup and drank, it took her a while to recuperate. After setting down the cup, she reached her hand out to Lu Jingchen, her tone filled with displeasure, "I’ve finished the egg. Give me the spoon, I want to drink the congee."

Clearly, at this moment, Song Qiao was genuinely unhappy, and her tone was quite unpleasant.

Lu Jingchen slightly raised his eyebrows at her but didn’t say anything more, simply handing her the spoon.

After taking the spoon, she buried her head in drinking the congee, no longer glancing at the man beside her.

Considering Song Qiao’s demeanor, Lu Jingchen thought seriously; aside from having her twice last night, he really hadn’t done anything to upset her. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

If it’s about last night, then she shouldn’t be upset, after all, as the man, he did all the work while she just enjoyed it.

Moreover, last night this little lady clearly showed how comfortably he had attended to her.

Both didn’t eat much breakfast; one was because Song Qiao was in a bad mood, and the other was because Lu Jingchen was puzzled due to Song Qiao’s mood.

Song Qiao initially planned to have the driver take her to the company, but Lu Jingchen also got into the car with her, claiming he didn’t feel like driving today.

"Sir, shall I drop you off at the office first or the madam?" The driver was a bit unsure, clearly noticing the couple’s mood wasn’t great, hence being somewhat cautious.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Song Qiao, who leaned against the car door and closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car, unclear whether she was sleeping or just resting her eyes. Yet, he deliberately lowered his voice and said coolly, "Take the madam to work first."

"Yes, sir."

...

This morning, everyone at CK Corporation knew that the president was in a bad mood. As to why, nobody knew, but some guessed it must be because of the president’s wife.

And just this morning, almost everyone in An City knew that the president of CK Corporation was already married, even this morning’s newspapers and magazines headlines reported that yesterday Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao were choosing wedding rings at a jewelry store, accompanied by pictures taken by reporters, proving that this was not merely an impulse.

Less than an hour after the newspapers and magazines were published, it was revealed that some corporate executives cooperating with CK Corporation had received wedding invitations for next month, for Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao’s marriage.

Suddenly, a storm seemed to hit An City because of the matter between Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, really making the whole An City seem as if it underwent a complete transformation.

"So the CEO is already married, huh? There were rumors around the company before, and I didn’t believe them; it turns out they were true." Wherever there are women, there will be gossip, and at this moment, in a certain CK Group pantry, a few women were chatting about their boss’s affairs under the pretense of getting water.

Another woman also nodded in agreement, saying, "I used to think the CEO and Miss Zuo were together, can’t believe it turned out to be false."

"But having seen the photo of the CEO’s wife, she’s not bad at all, and she seems to be on par with Miss Zuo. Most importantly, it seems like the CEO’s wife was caught in her bare face."

"Let’s go, let’s go. Haven’t you noticed the atmosphere in the company? It seems that since this morning, the CEO has been in a foul mood; we’re gossiping here, and if we get caught, we’re done."

...

How idle those women were was contrary to the atmosphere in the CEO’s secretarial office.

Because Lu Jingchen has been in a bad mood since morning, all the secretaries in the CEO’s secretarial office were being extremely meticulous, absolutely not daring to make any mistakes.

Even with document deliveries, few people dared to be as proactive as usual. In the morning, several senior executives who went in got straight scolded because of minor issues with the documents.

As Assistant Xie, who is close to Lu Jingchen, it felt as if he had been hovering on the verge of life and death several times now, and what he feared most was going in to deliver documents.

Because in this blazing summer, while it was unbearably hot outside, entering the CEO’s office felt like falling into an ice cave, especially when seeing his own boss’s gloomy face, it was enough to frighten one to almost have a heart attack.

Just coming out of there, an inquisitive secretary promptly approached and asked, "Assistant Xie, what’s wrong with the CEO today?"

Assistant Xie glanced at the secretary, although he slightly disliked the gossipy nature, still responded, "The CEO is in a bad mood."

"Could it be because of this morning’s exposure of the CEO and his wife’s identities?" The young girl couldn’t contain her curiosity and blurted out her question.

The fact that the CEO and his wife went ring shopping yesterday is now well known throughout the city.

Assistant Xie slightly frowned and directly reminded, "If it’s nothing important, it’s best not to gossip about the CEO." After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the young girl and directly went to reprint the documents pointed out by Lu Jingchen for having errors.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Zuo Yuqing, wearing high heels and a white, slim-fitting dress, stepped out, promptly calling out, "Assistant Xie, is your CEO in?"

Zuo Yuqing was well aware that Assistant Xie was Lu Jingchen’s most capable assistant, so she had always been trying to curry favor, but she couldn’t help feeling that Assistant Xie seemed to be a bit wary of her.

Zuo Yuqing did not know that it wasn’t just her imagination—Assistant Xie was indeed wary of her, simply because he was the first to know about the CEO’s marriage, so he naturally looked out for Song Qiaoze as the mistress of CK Group, guarding against other women for the CEO’s wife.

Assistant Xie stopped in his tracks and faced Zuo Yuqing, saying, "The CEO is in his office, Miss Zuo, do you need something? Should I go in and let him know for you?"

Relieved to hear that Lu Jingchen was in his office, Zuo Yuqing feared the most that she had turned down such an important engagement only to find him not here.

She nodded her head and gave a slight smile, "Then, please bother Assistant Xie."

"Miss Zuo, you’re welcome." Assistant Xie’s expression remained unchanged, handed the documents in his hand to a nearby secretary to help put them in his office, and then said to Zuo Yuqing, "Miss Zuo, please wait here for a moment."

...

Song Qiao came to the company early in the morning and felt a distinct peculiarity in everyone’s looks towards her.

Every time she saw people from afar gathering and talking profusely, but dispersing immediately upon seeing her, this made Song Qiao even more curious about what was going on.

Before she could enter the office, Lu An’an, who had been waiting at the entrance, stopped her.

Lu An’an pulled her aside and asked, "Qiaoqiao, do you know you’ve become the hottest topic in An City now?"

Song Qiao, totally confused, did not understand what Lu An’an meant, "What situation? What hottest topic?"
