Chapter 253: Chapter 252: For Anitaqing, Immortal Flower Destiny + Update 24
Xu Xu nodded, feeling a bit down, and said, "You’re doing it to follow your brother."
Zhao Meimei looked sweet: "Yeah, my brother plans to move all his business to the provincial city in the future, and my parents will move with him. What about you? Which college do you want to apply to in the future?"
Xu Xu fell into thought, and after a while, mumbled, "I might apply to * University, I want to study medicine."
Zhao Meimei was taken aback: "Being a doctor?"
Xu Xu said seriously, "My personality doesn’t really fit with doing business, and I don’t want to become a civil servant either. Being a doctor is quite promising and pays well."
Zhao Meimei glanced at him, teasing deliberately, "I thought you would say it’s because the profession is noble!"
Xu Xu glared at her, "Am I that hypocritical!"
Zhao Meimei laughed, "No, no, I was just kidding, but being a doctor is good, there are pretty nurses around, advantage of a close location!"
Xu Xu laughed out of frustration, "That’s not what I was thinking at all!"
Zhao Meimei cheerfully teased, "Don’t be embarrassed!"
Xu Xu chased her playfully, "Who’s embarrassed!"
A serious discussion about future life choices finally turned into a playful scuffle and banter, all previous grudges and barriers in their hearts completely vanished in that moment.
Zhao Meimei went to school routinely every day, while Shi Yang frequently ran to the provincial city. With the money from mortgaging the house, plus excluding the new summer product order funds, all the company’s money was taken out to finally rent the storefront in the West District.
Zhao Wendada was radiant those days, planning the specific decoration and arrangements for the flagship store every day.
Qu Chaozong, looking at the company’s zero balance, glanced magnanimously at him beside, smilingly swallowed the words "complete idiot" without saying them.
Wang Tianyu paused for a moment before seriously asking Shi Yang, "Once the contract is signed, the lease date starts officially. Every day, even if you do nothing, placing the storefront there is throwing money."
Shi Yang nodded and said, "I’ll think of a way, no matter what I must gather the renovation money and strive to open officially before June 1."
Qu Chaozong, hearing this, felt overwhelmed, "Two months for this storefront to just sit there? How much is two months’ rent? What’s the rush? Can’t you rent it next month?"
Zhao Wendada heard this, got anxious, "No, we can’t do that, if we’re late and someone else rents the place, that’s the real loss!"
Qu Chaozong almost couldn’t hold back his anger, nearly knocking down this foolish fat guy in front of him. Angrily, he stretched to rub his head, "I can’t stand it, Shi Yang, give me the car keys, I need to go for a drive!"
Qu Chaozong just got downstairs when he received a call from Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin’s lazy voice came from the phone, "Hey, darling, still busy?"
Qu Chaozong had nowhere to vent his anger, his voice muffled, "No, I plan to drive around to clear my mind."
Zhang Xin: "Hmm? What’s up?"
Qu Chaozong walked towards the parking area, "Don’t ask, well, never mind, it’s actually nothing."
Zhang Xin paused, said, "Is it inconvenient to say over the phone? It’s okay, you can tell me in person too."
"In person?" Qu Chaozong paused, suddenly realizing something was off, asked, "Where are you?"
Zhang Xin yawned, "On the bus, should be there in ten or so minutes, come pick me up?"
"What?" Qu Chaozong was extremely surprised, "Why did you suddenly come over? No, can you call me before you come next time? What if I’m busy and can’t pick you up?"
Zhang Xin said nonchalantly, "If you can’t pick me up, I’ll just take a taxi to your store and wait for you, I know the spot, you can run but not hide, what do I have to worry about."
"You’re something else! Once you arrive, don’t wander around, I’ll drive over to pick you up now."
Qu Chaozong was completely at a loss for words, hurriedly driving over to pick her up.
When Qu Chaozong drove to the bus station, he saw Zhang Xin standing alone at the roadside smoking.
Qu Chaozong drove closer, honking twice from not too far away.
Zhang Xin looked up, her expression calm under the sun, and when she saw who came, her eyes quickly filled with joy. She took one last drag of her cigarette, blew the smoke out, expertly stubbed it out, and quickly walked over.
Qu Chaozong turned his head to watch Zhang Xin fasten her seatbelt, asked, "Been waiting long?"
Zhang Xin gracefully brushed her long hair off her front, "No, just a cigarette’s time."
Zhang Xin wore tight jeans full of holes and a loose white shirt on top, with the hem tied at her waist, occasionally showing a bit of flat stomach when moving.
Qu Chaozong glanced at his own jacket and trousers, frowned, "Why wearing so little?"
Zhang Xin answered straightforwardly, "Looks good."
Qu Chaozong snorted coldly, "I don’t see what’s so good about it."
Zhang Xin chuckled, "It’s because I’m wearing clothes, when I take them off, you’ll see what’s good."
Qu Chaozong looked at Zhang Xin, his gaze gradually deepening.
Zhang Xin also looked at him, her gaze circling his face, sliding down his chiseled chin to his neck, tracing each line.
Qu Chaozong suddenly reached out, pinched Zhang Xin’s chin, and kissed her hard, immediately getting the most passionate response, warm lips intertwined, sucking, biting, as if they couldn’t get enough, utterly enchanted.
When they separated, both were slightly breathless.
Zhang Xin wickedly glanced at the noticeable bulge in Qu Chaozong’s pants, "Hey, it’s hard!"
"Keep teasing me, I’ll deal with you!"
Zhang Xin pursed her slightly swollen lips from the kiss and threw him a look, "How will you deal with me?"
Qu Chaozong raised the corners of his mouth, smiled mischievously, half-serious, half-jokingly said, "Teasing more, and I’ll f*ck you."
Extreme words, said with such a mischievous tone from his mouth, inexplicably carried a seductive allure, Zhang Xin silently swallowed, only feeling a certain string in her mind precariously teetering.
Zhang Xin paused, hummed, at a loss for words.
Qu Chaozong pursed his lips and smiled, started the car, merged into the traffic, and drove forward.
Qu Chaozong took Zhang Xin to a restaurant.
During dinner, Zhang Xin asked, "When you came to pick me up, what was wrong? I heard your tone wasn’t quite right."
Qu Chaozong drank a mouthful of beer, "Nothing, just some stuff at the company."
Zhang Xin gave Qu Chaozong some food, "Don’t just drink, eat something too, take care of your stomach."
