For two consecutive days, Qin Chun couldn't get over that kiss.
After being engaged for three years and married for more than two years, the intimacy between her and Xiao Bingyang could be counted on one's fingers. The deepest times were during the newlywed period. But the two of them didn't kiss either.
Undeniably, most women are emotional. Although she acts calmly and self-controlled, it seems that deep down she also has a sense of sacredness towards kissing. She thinks that the entanglement of lips and tongue can touch each other's souls more than physical intimacy.
This kiss from Xiao Bingyang confused her.
She didn't think that there was any unique charm in herself after having short hair that could make Xiao Bingyang suddenly fall in love with her after being indifferent for two years. The most likely reason was that men and women were different. Emotions and caresses representing physical intimacy could be completely separated.
There were many kinds of marriage relationships in reality. Some were like her parents', harmonious and supporting each other. Some were muddling along and becoming a habit. Some were completely incompatible and every day seemed like a year. Presumably, Xiao Bingyang had gotten used to such a marriage. Under the long-term coercion of his parents, he had compromised and planned to give her a little warmth.
If she cared too much about this kiss, she would lose.
Qin Chun quickly built up her self-confidence and refocused on the issue they were discussing at the moment.
As the Spring Festival was approaching, it should have been the most leisurely time of the year for the company. But these employees of Taohuayuan Town almost worked overtime until late at night every day, perfecting the new marketing plan and construction plan. Yu Baiqing also brought his subordinates to communicate with Zhao Nanshan in the project team for two consecutive days, hoping to make this Sino-foreign cooperative school a big hit.
"I invited the vice principal of Raphael Private School in Country M and the school director of Hal University in Country M, as well as celebrities in the domestic and international education circles for the groundbreaking ceremony," Yu Baiqing had also been busy these days and had become thinner. But his mental state was very good. His eyes under the frameless glasses were bright. "Hal University is one of the top three in Country M. At that time, I will arrange several exclusive interviews to promote our name."
"We will arrange the business people attending. They will definitely be among the top figures in the country," Zhao Nanshan said enthusiastically. "President Xiao of Chengfeng Group will definitely be present, right, Chairman Qin."
Qin Chun remained noncommittal.
If Xiao Bingyang came to the scene and accidentally revealed his true thoughts and said, "I don't think highly of this sunset industry." Then she would be so angry that she would spit blood.
"President Xiao is your husband?" Yu Baiqing asked with interest.
"Yes," Qin Chun smiled. "Teacher Yu, you know him too?"
"His name is like thunder piercing the ears," Yu Baiqing said admiringly. "What I didn't expect was that you would be his wife. In our country, marriages are generally male-dominated. But you two are both strong. Awesome."
"Teacher Yu is joking." Qin Chun didn't want to be labeled as Mrs. Xiao. She quickly changed the topic. "By the way, are you married?"
"Not yet," Yu Baiqing sighed. "I used to have a person I was about to get married to. Later, when I wanted to leave the system, she broke up with me. I really envy you for having a like-minded partner who can support you in doing what you want to do."
Qin Chun maintained the curve of her mouth but didn't continue this topic.
Xiao Bingyang would blush if he heard this compliment. Of course, she didn't deserve it either.
The small passed quickly. In a while, Qin Chun had other things to do. She said goodbye to them temporarily and went to her office.
There were two knocks on the door. She looked up and saw Xiao Mai.
"Miss Qin," Xiao Mai smiled a little awkwardly. "I brought people to work."
"Are the materials and workers all ready?" Qin Chun was a bit surprised. "That's quite fast. Come in and talk."
Xiao Mai's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to her desk and pushed the bag in his hand forward. "I brought you a cup of milk tea when I passed by the store."
Qin Chun was stunned for a moment. "So polite? Thank you then. But I can't let you treat. How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
"Then... add WeChat?" Xiao Mai blurted out.
The two added each other on WeChat. Qin Chun sent him a red envelope.
"Miss Qin, are you looking down on me? I don't want the red envelope. It will be returned to you after twenty-four hours," Xiao Mai grinned slyly. "The salary you sent us will be credited soon. Now you found work for me again. I have money. I can still afford this twenty-something yuan milk tea."
Qin Chun was helpless. "So you tricked me into adding WeChat?"
"Yes," Xiao Mai admitted honestly. "That day I wanted to talk to you. But I couldn't say it. So I wanted to add WeChat and type it to you."
"What did you want to say?" Qin Chun asked curiously.
Xiao Mai's ear roots turned faintly red. He typed a few lines on his phone and ran away like a flash. "Miss Qin, I'm going to work."
A few seconds later, Qin Chun's phone vibrated. WeChat reminded her that there was a message from a new friend.
[Miss Qin, you are really good. Your husband doesn't cherish such a good wife. Really. He doesn't deserve you. Don't be sad. Be happy.][grin]
The last soy sauce emoji grinned with a big mouth, showing a row of neat teeth and smiling without any defense. It was somewhat similar to Xiao Mai's appearance.
Qin Chun was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
That night, in a hurry, she forgot about Xiao Mai's existence and had an argument with Xiao Bingyang. At that time, she herself felt a bit embarrassed. After explaining a few things to Xiao Mai, she hurriedly said goodbye. Unexpectedly, this big boy remembered it until now.
Such simple comfort was too rare in this utilitarian and desire-filled city. A warm current slowly flowed through her heart.
[Thank you. I'm very happy.][grin]
When she turned on the computer and was about to deal with emails, Sister Qi hurried in. "Chairman Qin, is the chairman's office really going to be renovated?"
Qin Chun nodded.
Sister Qi hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Qin Chun was in a good mood. She looked at her with a smile. "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Chairman Qin, it's not that I'm interfering with your decision. I'm just a bit worried," Sister Qi looked worried. "Aren't you completely offending your uncle by doing this? In case there's something in the company that needs his help in the future, it will be hard to ask. Is it okay?"
Qin Chun's office was now temporary. Because Qin Chengliang was pulled away by an ambulance in a hurry and some items were still left in the original chairman's office. So she couldn't move in yet.
Originally, she didn't care about such vain face. No matter where the office was, it wouldn't affect her work. But now it was different.
Many things would reach a point of no return if one retreated again and again. She never expected that the trust she and Yu Shuyuan had in Qin Chengliang in the past two years would evolve to this point. Moreover, now many people in the company were watching to see if this new young female chairman could stand firm and completely get rid of the shadow of the former chairman.
So, the other day she asked Xiao Mai to find people to renovate the chairman's office. Today, the renovation officially started.
"It's okay. Just make sure the things are sorted out and not messed up," Qin Chun said indifferently. "Come on. Let's go and take a look."
