After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 575: Chapter 579 Jealousy is a Double-Edged Sword! [4]

Although Luo Xiaoqian was already Leng Zimo’s fiancee, she did not put on any airs and got along well with everyone on the team, frequently engaging in such jokes with them.

”No problem,” Luo Xiaoqian replied with a smile as she took the bag Yu Tong handed to her. ”It’s getting late; everyone should head home early as well.”

People left their seats and came over to say goodbye to her.

Watching Xu Pei pack up her things not far away, Luo Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment but eventually walked over.

”Sister Xu Pei, you were quiet just now. Is there anything wrong?”

Since this was her first album, Luo Xiaoqian naturally cared a great deal about it. Even though she had received plenty of praise so far, she still felt somewhat uncertain.

”How could there be?” Xu Pei zipped up her computer bag, ”I simply felt that there was nothing to comment on, so I stayed silent. Don’t overthink it. Rest well tonight and bring your A-game for tomorrow’s release event. I’m leaving first.”

Picking up her belongings and nodding gently to her, Xu Pei turned and left.

”Xiao Qian,” Zhuo Yannan came over with a smile, ”there’s no need to worry. Judging from my many years of experience, this album will definitely be the most promising of all the albums Emperor View releases this year!”

”Thank you,” Luo Xiaoqian responded with a smile and expressed her gratitude to him.

”Do you think I’m just comforting you?” Zhuo Yannan shook his head with a laugh, and his tone became more serious, ”I’m serious, Xiao Qian, I really have high hopes for you. Both in terms of talent and character, I hope we can continue to work together and reach greater, farther heights!”

With that, he extended his hand towards her.

”Sure!” Luo Xiaoqian reached out and grasped his palm.

Yu Tong came over, ”Xiao Qian, let’s go. Gao Jie wasn’t feeling well today, so I let her go home first. Lin Ye and I will take you home.”

Luo Xiaoqian took her cardigan from her hands, ”No need, Zimo is still working overtime upstairs. I’ll go find him. You guys can head home directly; no need to drop me off.”

”Then I’ll take you upstairs,” Yu Tong grabbed her arm, ”It’s President Leng’s order. Unless he’s by your side, we need to have someone with you 24/7. Tomorrow is your release event; if something happens now, we couldn’t take that responsibility.”

Her tone was half serious and half joking, to which Luo Xiaoqian could only agree with a smile.

Lin Ye also packed up, and the three of them left the meeting room together and took the elevator to the top floor.

As the elevator doors closed, Xu Pei, who had been standing not too far away, slowly walked out and watched the ascending elevator. She then stepped into the opposite lift and pressed the button for the 36th floor.

Back in her own office, sitting in her chair, Xu Pei pulled out a cigarette and placed it between her lips, drawing in the smoke.

Taking out a new, unpowered phone from her drawer, she continued to hesitate.

”Actually, how the two of them got together doesn’t matter at all. What matters is they are very much in love now. As friends, shouldn’t we be blessing them?” Tong Ya’s voice echoed in her ears, yet what flashed before her was the scene she had seen at the bridal shop that evening of Leng Zimo standing beside Luo Xiaoqian.

”No, that’s not it!” she screamed suddenly, ”Zimo doesn’t love her; he’s just bewitched by her. That’s not love, not true love! His love is mine, he belongs to me, he can only buy a wedding dress for me, the woman he loves can only be me!”

After throwing the cigarette into the ashtray, she quickly grabbed the new phone on the desk and pressed the power button.
