It fell from his fingertips

Zhou Yanchen is quite capable, but unfortunately he has been making frequent mistakes lately, which has caused delays in the Haicheng project. This time, a significant oversight has occurred, prompting General Manager Liao of the Haicheng Hotel to personally come and emphasize the need to replace the person in charge.

Zhou Jinbai then urgently went on a business trip to come over.

I was thinking of solving the project issues first before arranging things for Zhou Yanchen, but I didn't expect that Zhou Yanchen would still not learn his lesson and would provoke Tang Luoqing again.

Seeing Zhou Yanchen's flustered and frustrated state, wanting to plead for mercy but not daring to, Zhou Jinbai gave him a look, and Assistant Shen immediately ordered two bodyguards to pull Zhou Yanchen away from the top floor.

This is the VIP lounge area. The people were speaking softly, so not many people heard anything.

Zhou Jinbai walked out of the meeting room alone. To resolve this issue temporarily, he needed to go back for another meeting.

He said a few words to Tang Luoqing and then returned to the conference room.

Tang Luoqing was left alone in the rest area once again.

She sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on her phone, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

She had thought countless times about what she should do when facing Zhou Yanchen alone, but the scenarios she imagined were always different from reality.

In reality, Zhou Jinbai protected her very well, and she didn't need to face much.

She couldn't help but look towards the conference room.

The meeting room door was closed, with only a small window on it, which looked frosted.

Although the conference room has floor-to-ceiling windows, they are completely covered by curtains.

Tang Luoqing couldn't see anything inside from the outside, so how did Zhou Jinbai see her just now? And how did he know she was coming? He clearly asked Assistant Shen to keep it a secret.

This question lingered for over an hour until Zhou Jinbai came out after finishing his meeting.

The well-dressed man skillfully resolved a major oversight, much to the satisfaction of General Manager Liao, who then invited Zhou Jinbai to dinner.

Zhou Jinbai glanced in the direction of the rest area and politely forced a smile: "Sorry, my girlfriend brought me a special dinner. I'll treat you another day and have a few drinks with President Liao."

Mr. Liao didn't force him, and with a chuckle, he left with his men.

Zhou Jinbai walked towards Tang Luoqing.

Upon arriving at the rest area again, Zhou Jinbai took Tang Luoqing's hand, picked up the paper bag from the coffee table with his other hand, and led her to the president's office, which had been temporarily set up at the end of the corridor.

The office wasn't large, not as big as the one in the Zhou Group, but it did have a restroom and a rest area, and it was relatively quiet and very private.

"Why did you get here?"

Zhou Jinbai pulled Tang Luoqing to sit on the sofa in the rest area and held her hand tightly.

Tang Luoqing looked at Zhou Jinbai, glanced at the hand he was holding, and said with a hint of grievance, "I wanted to... come and see you, and have dinner with you."

Zhou Jinbai understood what Tang Luoqing meant.

She not only posted on her WeChat Moments, but also came to his workplace in person, just to prove that she had chosen him.

The man pulled her into his arms, his voice low and husky: "I'll probably be staying here for the next month. Once things stabilize here, I'll send someone over to take over. Luo Qing, could you... stay here with me? If you're in Beijing and I'm all alone here, I'll miss you terribly, every single moment."

Tang Luoqing was amused by Zhou Jinbai's seriousness and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You think about that even when you're focused on your work?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinbai thought about the question seriously before answering earnestly: "I do think about you, but not all of my energy is devoted to thinking about you. I think about you more during breaks from work."

Seeing Zhou Jinbai's honesty, Tang Luoqing smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'm curious... what do you think is the most impressive?"

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Luoqing's neck was lightly bitten by Zhou Jinbai. It didn't hurt, but it was itchy and a little numb.

Zhou Jinbai showed her through his actions that he was quite good at thinking things through.

Not to be outdone, Tang Luoqing took advantage of Zhou Jinbai's retreat, lowered her head, turned her face, and bit down on Zhou Jinbai's protruding Adam's apple.

With a muffled groan, Tang Luoqing sensed the change in Zhou Jinbai.

She glanced at it in surprise, then couldn't help but laugh: "What do you want to do? This is an office."

"Um."

The man's voice was even hoarseer: "But... they've all gone home from get off work."

Tang Luoqing's breath hitched as the man gently sealed her lips.

The two of them didn't actually do anything in the office.

After having dinner together, Zhou Jinbai took Tang Luoqing's hand and returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Jinbai held another very important video conference. By the time he finished and went into the bedroom, Tang Luoqing was already asleep.

Since Tang Luoqing got together with Zhou Jinbai, she has been able to get good sleep, and she is sleepy before 10 o'clock every day.

Tang Luoqing thought that this was the result of being exploited by Zhou Jinbai.

Zhou Jinbai couldn't help but chuckle when he recalled Tang Luoqing's seemingly clenched teeth and actually soft, cute meowing expression when she mentioned the word "exploitation."

He half-squatted by the bed, covered Tang Luoqing with the blanket, and then gently kissed her forehead.

Then he turned around, stood up, and went into the bathroom.

She had just taken off her clothes when someone hugged her from behind.

Tang Luoqing was petite; when she hugged Zhou Jinbai from behind, she only reached his shoulder. Then, when Zhou Jinbai turned around, she took a bite of his nipple.

The man hissed, and before picking the person up and placing them on the sink, he worried it would be too cold, so he simply carried them into the shower room.

Hot water poured down, and Tang Luoqing pressed against the glass, embracing and kissing Zhou Jinbai.

She tilted her head back, her breathing trembling.

As if walking on clouds, she whispered, "Zhou Jinbai, what should you say right now?"

"Luo Qing, I love you."

Tang Luoqing breathed a satisfied sigh of relief: "I love you too."

The stars twinkled outside the window, creating a beautiful atmosphere inside.

After a long while, Tang Luoqing lay in Zhou Jinbai's arms and whispered, "I heard from Uncle Village Chief that Grandma's house is almost finished being repaired. Did you pay for it?"

Not entirely.

Zhou Jinbai's lips brushed against Tang Luoqing's ear, his voice low and husky: "You contributed a portion, the rest is mine."

After the flood, when my grandmother's house was being rebuilt, the village estimated the cost at 20 yuan.

Tang Luoqing couldn't come up with that much money at the time, so she only paid the first batch of 5 yuan. But until now, the village chief has never asked her for money again. Before boarding the plane, Tang Luoqing remembered this matter and took the initiative to call the village chief's house. She then learned that someone had already paid the rest of the money.

Tang Luoqing knew without even guessing who this person was; it must be Zhou Jinbai.

Only he knew where his grandmother's house was, and only he cared about the home of his grandmother that she cared about.
