Chapter 34 - 34: Visiting the Decoration Company
Li Zhao stopped when they reached the door, and An Hao didn’t understand why he wasn’t walking: “What’s wrong? Let’s go.”
“An’an, didn’t you forget about your good friend?” Li Zhao removed An Hao’s hand from his arm and held it instead!
“Oh yeah, I was so excited I completely forgot about Qin Xue.” She broke free from Li Zhao’s hand, ran back to hold Qin Xue, and they walked ahead together.
This time she didn’t remember her husband Li Zhao. Looking at his empty hand and the clueless woman in front, Li Zhao was filled with resentment.
He locked the door and followed the two women.
Listening to their chattering voices, he was filled with a sense of happiness.
An Hao had finally changed back to her old self, not like the lifeless mannequin she’d been before. He felt sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do but try to spend more time with her. This change was really good.
The three of them arrived at Xiao Qi’s company, and the receptionist recognized Li Zhao:
“Li Zhao, are you here to see the boss? He’s in his office, just go up.” Xiao Qi had greeted the receptionist before, so Li Zhao and Chu Molin could both go straight up without an appointment.
“Alright, we’ll go up, thank you.” He led the two women upstairs to find Xiao Qi.
Qin Xue noticed that there was only one secretary’s office and one executive office on this floor.
It seemed that everyone here knew Li Zhao. The people in the secretary’s office just looked at him and pointed to the office, without stopping them.
Li Zhao just smiled back and waved his hand, indicating for them to continue with their work as he entered the office.
After a few knocks, a voice from inside said, “Please come in.
Li Zhao and the two women entered and closed the door without saying a word.
In the office, a man was sitting at the desk writing something without even looking up. After waiting for a few minutes, Xiao Qi raised his head and realized they were not from the company:
“Zhaozi, what brings you here?” The moment he finished speaking, there was a body pressing against his back.
“Qiqi, I came to see you! I have to tell you, I made a new friend.” An Hao said, still looking at Xiao Qi expectantly.
Xiao Qi tilted his head to look at the person behind him, caressing An Hao’s hair before saying, “An’an is here, and she’s so amazing that she’s made a new friend. When will you introduce them to Qiqi?” Qin Xue finally realized why An Hao was so innocent – the people around her treated her like a child and spoiled her.
“An’an, come here, you should be hugging and kissing me since we’re married.” Li Zhao said as he went to try and pull An Hao up.
Li Zhao was jealous; this was his woman and she should be hugging him, even if Xiao Qi was her cousin.
“No, I haven’t seen Qiqi in so long and I miss him.” An Hao hadn’t seen Xiao Qi since coming to S Province and didn’t want to leave his side.
“An’an, how about I give you a hug instead? Otherwise, when Qiqi’s girlfriend sees you hugging him, she’ll get mad. She won’t hang out with Qiqi anymore, and he’ll be all alone. Wouldn’t that be pitiful?”
Li Zhao didn’t have a choice – ever since they were little, An Hao had been glued to Xiao Qi. He managed to bring An Hao back home, but there was no way he’d let his young wife become attached to another man now.
“Is that true, Qiqi?” An Hao still wanted to hear what Xiao Qi had to say!
“No, An’an, don’t listen to Zhaozi – Qiqi doesn’t have a girlfriend, An’an is the best.” As an overprotective brother, Xiao Qi wasn’t about to let Li Zhao take her away that easily.
“Zhaozi, you liar! Qiqi says he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Humph.” An Hao had grown up at her grandmother’s house with Xiao Qi around.
Xiao Qi was her elder cousin and was seven or eight years older than her. Their family had many sons and was typically favored, so it was no surprise that An Hao received all the love in her family.
Ever since they were little, Li Zhao had suffered a lot from Xiao Qi and the others, but fortunately, An Hao liked him back.
Although they had received their marriage certificates, they hadn’t held a wedding ceremony yet.
Li Zhao wanted to wait until Chu Molin could attend their wedding, but he’d been on a mission for three months and still hadn’t returned. They didn’t know when he’d be back.
So a month ago, Li Zhao brought his young wife to S Province to have some fun while waiting for Chu Molin to come back and attend their wedding in the
Imperial Capital..
