After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Is this a bit too hasty?

The evening breeze stirred the thin curtains, but it couldn’t lower the temperature around the two of them.

Lu Zhaozhao had intended to be brave and “bully” Song Sinian a bit before letting go.

But he was just too well-behaved; even though he really wanted to hold her, he still obediently abided by her previous words.

Her heart was instantly filled to the brim, and she wanted to show him with her actions, over and over, how happy she was, how much she liked him.

“Ahem… Mr. Song?”

Suddenly, Zhao Xi’s voice came from the video conference, and Lu Zhaozhao jerked, stopping instantly.

She blinked her somewhat panicked eyes, listening to Zhao Xi’s voice coming from the computer again, “That concludes all the schemes for the topic just now, already fully reported.”

“Repeat the advantages of the second scheme,” Song Sinian’s voice slowly rose in the quiet study.

His obviously husky voice was hard not to notice.

Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but snicker a bit; now Mr. Song from their family would share her embarrassment.

Thinking this, her playful eyes turned to Song Sinian, and she was slightly dazed when she met his dark eyes filled with desire.

“May I put the things down now?” Song Sinian lowered his voice, the sound was scratchy.

Lu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Of course, you can.”

Her gaze dropped to his lips, which were smeared with her lipstick, and she couldn’t help but smile with a curve in her brows and eyes.

Lu Zhaozhao took a wet wipe from the side and gently rubbed his lips, the arc of her mouth rising even higher.

From the side, the project schemes once again began over the video conference.

Lu Zhaozhao was only half-listening as she was wiping Song Sinian’s lips when suddenly, her hand was grasped.

Song Sinian’s profound gaze was especially serious as he looked at her, his voice still hoarse, “I just did a good job following your instructions, so can I get my reward now?”

“Uh…”

Lu Zhaozhao, looking into Song Sinian’s earnest eyes, felt a vaguely ominous premonition.

She swallowed, “Um… there will definitely be a reward, but you’re still in a meeting right now.”

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly felt somewhat relieved that Song Sinian was still in a meeting; otherwise, she really didn’t know how Mr. Song from their family would seek his reward.

Song Sinian’s gaze lingered on Lu Zhaozhao’s face, nodding quite seriously.

Then his voice filled the study, “Zhao Xi, send me all the schemes for this subject in document form. I need some time to deal with this issue; that’s all for today.”

Having said that, Song Sinian immediately ended the video conference.

Lu Zhaozhao: “???”

She could hardly believe her ears; wasn’t this a bit too hasty?

Just as Lu Zhaozhao’s suspicious gaze turned towards Song Sinian, he scooped her up and pressed his lips down hard.

This time… Lu Zhaozhao had no control to speak of, not even a chance to open her mouth…

Because Lu Zhaozhao had been visiting Xia Wenmo at the hospital during her time off from classes, the hoodlums hired by Cao Mei had never succeeded.

Xia Wenjin, tired of waiting anxiously, took it upon herself to follow Lu Zhaozhao’s schedule.

Only then did she figure out her fixed routine for the past few days.

“I never realized Lu Zhaozhao cared so deeply for that sickling, huh!” Xia Wenjin stealthily followed her from a distance on the path.

Because the hospital where Xia Wenmo was staying was located in the city center and covered a large area, one would generally be stuck for a long time at the main entrance.

So, Lu Zhaozhao always chose to enter through the single-person passageway at the side door.

Because vehicles couldn’t enter through the side door and it was far from the clinic building where patients were seen, there was a small grove of trees near the closest spot to the side door.

It was said to be planned for a new inpatient building, so it looked desolate, hence few people took this path.

Xia Wenjin curled the corner of her mouth in satisfaction, looking at Lu Zhaozhao, who wasn’t too far away, with anticipation indescribable.

In a moment, the hoodlums arranged by Cao Mei would drag her into the nearby grove.

By then, there wouldn’t be many people here; wouldn’t they do whatever they pleased?

Thinking this, Xia Wenjin watched from a distance as a group of rough-looking people headed in their direction.

She immediately took out her phone and opened the recording function.

She wouldn’t want to miss any moment of Lu Zhaozhao’s misfortune.

She hoped to see her later, scared out of her wits.

“Hey!”

Suddenly, the group of thugs stood still and yelled at Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao lifted an eyebrow suspiciously, glanced at the thugs, then instinctively looked back.

With just that look, she locked eyes with Xia Wenjin, who had been stealthily following her.

She almost subconsciously hid her face with her phone, as if by doing so, Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t be able to see her.

The corner of Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched, slightly speechless.

In fact, two days earlier, she had vaguely felt someone following her, so she quickly realized it was Xia Wenjin.

Initially, Lu Zhaozhao thought that Xia Wenjin, remembering her sibling bond with Xia Wenmo, was secretly following her to visit him.

But… Xia Wenjin was merely stalking her.

Lu Zhaozhao had been puzzled about why she followed her until she saw these few thugs, at which point, she understood.@@novelbin@@

It seemed that after being chased out from the Song Family by Song Sinian, Xia Wenjin held a grudge against her and wanted to have someone deal with her, right?

But she had indeed provoked the wrong person.

Back when she was fighting in the underground ring, she was a genuine hotshot champion. Could these few petty thugs even think about taking her on?

The corner of Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth curved slightly in disdain as she looked towards the thugs opposite her.

She wondered if they had just had a confrontation with others; their faces were clearly marked with injuries.

Lu Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed slightly. Were the small-time thugs nowadays so busy?

Having just had a conflict, they took on Xia Wenjin’s job immediately—are they on a tight schedule?

Lu Zhaozhao slightly lifted her head to address the group of thugs, “Do you have business with me?”

“Are you Lu Zhaozhao?” the lead thug asked in a gruff voice, calling out aggressively.

Before Lu Zhaozhao could speak, one of the thugs at his side immediately pulled him back, speaking with a troubled look, “Big brother… let’s not be so hot-headed, she’s just a little girl… Don’t forget, the girl…”

He obviously stressed the words “little girl” heavier and gave him a frantic wink.

Seemingly recalling something, the complexion of the lead thug visibly changed, “You… your name is Lu Zhaozhao… Lu Zhaozhao, right?”

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao, trying hard to adjust his expression, even his voice was much more cautious than before.

“Uh… I am Lu Zhaozhao, so what do you want with me?”

Lu Zhaozhao stared puzzledly at the group of thugs in front of her, seemingly not understanding the sudden change in their attitude…
