After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 256: Chapter 257: Love So Hurtful [3]

”Come on!”

A group of young people shouted in unison, then all stood up, briskly packed away their computers and files, and immediately immersed themselves in their busy work.

Moments later, Xiao Lin rushed into the meeting room.

”Teacher Ya Nan said he’ll be here around one in the afternoon!”

Zhuo Yannan glanced at his watch, ”He still needs some time to get here, there’s still an hour left, Xiao Lin, order some meals for everyone.”

Soon, the meals were delivered, and while eating, they discussed some more details.

Hearing that she would be going abroad for filming, Luo Xiaoqian suddenly remembered something, ”I don’t have a passport!”

”The company has already arranged it for you!” Yu Tong said with a smile.

The company?!

How did the company know she didn’t have a passport? It must have been Leng Zimo’s doing, right?

The boxed lunch in front of her tasted more and more like wax; Luo Xiaoqian forcefully swallowed a few bites but eventually put down her chopsticks.

Seeing that she seemed to have no appetite, Yu Tong put down her own lunch and took her to the lounge.

Due to overwork and the company’s people-oriented management, Emperor Vision Company had lounges on every floor, equipped with sofas, TVs, and other entertainment facilities. There were fridges filled with milk, coffee, and other items, and beds for short rests.

The two of them walked into the lounge together, and Yu Tong asked, ”Do you want to take a nap?”

”No need!” Luo Xiaoqian sat down on the sofa.

”Then what would you like to drink? I’ll get it for you, juice, milk... or coffee?” Yu Tong asked.

”Juice... no, coffee, straight up!”

In a short while, Yu Tong brought her a cup of hot coffee.

”Thank you!” Luo Xiaoqian took the coffee, ”You go back and eat, I’m fine.”

Yu Tong went back to finish her meal, while Luo Xiaoqian brought the coffee to her lips, sipping it lightly.

Leng Zimo seemed to really like this kind of coffee, no matter which house he was in, he would always have a variety of coffee beans ready. She never understood what was so good about the bitter and astringent taste of coffee.

Pure black coffee had a bitter taste with a hint of sourness, but moments later, it left a faint aroma lingering.

She took another sip, savoring it carefully, and this time, the fragrant flavor seemed to grow richer.

It was already noon, and she didn’t know if he had eaten or not. He mentioned he had a business trip, but she wasn’t sure when he was leaving. She heard he was going to several countries in Europe, and at this time of year, it should be the rainy season there. Would he remember to bring an umbrella...?

Drinking her coffee, Luo Xiaoqian’s mind was filled with thoughts of Leng Zimo.

Taking out her phone from her bag, she accessed her contacts and stared at the name ”Big Fool,” still hesitating.

He always had several assistants and aides by his side, and he traveled by car. Even if he didn’t bring an umbrella, how could he get caught in the rain? Her worries were superfluous.

...

...

World City.

Having just returned home, Leng Zimo went straight upstairs, walked into the bedroom, and headed directly for the walk-in closet to pick out his luggage for packing.

His gaze caught sight of that hat, and his movements stiffened.

The last time she helped him pack, he found out that she truly was his fan, cherishing every single thing about him.

Stepping forward, Leng Zimo reached out to grab the white top hat, took it down, and held it in his hands.

Each piece of clothing and accessory here held his memories, recording the bits and pieces of the past.

That morning, in his rush to get back, he didn’t even have time to make sure she had breakfast. Now it was noon, and he had no idea if that girl had eaten lunch yet. Her stomach wasn’t strong, he wondered if she might suffer from stomach pains again...
