CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 482: IT’S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BY MY SIDE

Lv Pingting signed the contract with her, but it wasn’t announced to the public yet. Since there was still some drama left to play out, it needed to be delayed for a little while longer.

After finishing her conversation with Lv Pingting, she had just stepped out of the company when a car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Lu Qing’s handsome yet refined face. His brows were furrowed, seeming a bit agitated.

"What’s wrong?"

"Grandfather wants us to go back for a visit."

"Alright."

On the way, Lu Qing rubbed his temples, his presence weighed down with tension. Qin Miaomiao softly asked:

"Did something happen?"

"Just some company matters."

"You handle so many things all the time and bear so much pressure. You need to learn to relax. How about I massage your head for you?"

"Mm."

He leaned sideways and rested his head on her lap, his eyes closing slightly and his breathing steady. Qin Miaomiao had been so busy these past few days that she barely had a moment to rest, while Lu Qing, managing such a huge company, naturally had even more demanding tasks. However, whenever he could avoid social engagements, he would. If something could be handled at home, he wouldn’t step out.

"Recently, I’ve heard that there’s been some fluctuation in Long Ting Group’s shares?"

She asked, having seen the news while browsing headlines. It puzzled her since major companies like Long Ting Group usually have stable stocks, yet there seemed to be more volatility than normal lately.

Lu Qing appeared very calm and responded in a composed tone:

"There have been some irregularities, but it’s not a major issue. I’ll take care of it, so no need to worry."

"I’m just worried you’re carrying too much on your shoulders. If there’s anything I can help with, just tell me."

Lu Qing’s lips curved slightly as he opened his eyes, a trace of warmth glimmering in their depths:

"Just take good care of me; that’ll be enough."

"Oh? How should I take care of you?"

"Take a guess."

"..."

She couldn’t help but feel that the conversation had started off serious yet veered off in a different direction midway. But then again, with the weight he carried, casually chatting and joking might help him unwind a bit.

Her gentle hands moved to his temples, her fingertips carrying a natural, delicate fragrance. Inhaling it, a sense of solace enveloped his heart—a kind of instinctive yearning. He loved this feeling deeply.

"Miao Miao."

"Mm?"

"Nothing, just wanted to call you."

"Oh, alright."

A short while later, he unexpectedly called out again: "Miao Miao."

"I’m here."

"Mm."

Qin Miaomiao: .....

"Darling, do you want to close your eyes and nap for a bit? I’ll wake you when we arrive."

"Alright."

He shifted his position slightly, wrapping his arm around her waist. Though the posture seemed a bit awkward, he grew increasingly immersed in the scent she carried, falling even deeper into his calm reprieve.

Qin Miaomiao seemed to enjoy his reliance on her quite a bit. At that moment, the whole world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them embraced together.

In such a vast world filled with so many people, finding that perfectly matched person is no easy feat. Once found, there was no longer any need to search further.

Perhaps it was this certainty between the two of them that led to misunderstandings being so rare. Lu Qing’s social circle was exceptionally clean—he was practically a woman-proof barrier by now. Because of love, he couldn’t bear for her to suffer even the slightest grievance.

An hour later, they arrived at Lu Family’s old house. Only then did Lu Qing stir, realizing she had been continuously massaging him all along. He slowly sat up.

His eyes, dark and enigmatic, paired with a raspy, low voice, asked:

"How long did I sleep?"

"About an hour or so."

"You’ve been massaging me the whole time?"

"Yep, my hands are sore now."

Her delicate face blossomed with a faint blush, and her eyes shimmered with tenderness. Some say you can glimpse a person’s heart through their gaze.
