CHAPTER 636: CHAPTER 635: USE IT AND THROW IT AWAY?

"If it wasn’t for you suddenly letting go, would I have fallen?" Wen Qiao continued to glare at him, "Besides, didn’t I manage not to fall?"

Fu Jinghen ignored the latter part of her statement and looked at her innocently, "Wasn’t it you who told me to let go?"

"..."

Wen Qiao was speechless for a moment, unable to find a retort to Fu Jinghen’s words.

She kicked her legs, "Put me down!"

Fu Jinghen didn’t stop walking, and he patted her behind, "Don’t move around, you might fall."

"..."

Wen Qiao only felt a flame ignite from the spot where Fu Jinghen had just patted, quickly spreading throughout her body.

The feisty fighting cock had suddenly lost steam, turning into a quiet little chick.

Fu Jinghen looked down at the little girl in his arms, very satisfied with the result.

Sitting down on the sofa with her in his arms, he encircled Wen Qiao to sit on his lap, slightly tilting his head to look at her, "Did I not perform well? Why does Qiaoqiao throw me away after using me?"

"!"

Wen Qiao’s eyes widened in shock, and she even forgot about her current position, turning her head to meet Fu Jinghen’s eyes, which were faintly filled with a touch of grievance, "What, what are you talking about, who used you, make it clear, don’t cause misunderstandings."

"Wasn’t it? Didn’t Qiaoqiao just use me to tell a story?"

"..."

Wen Qiao opened her mouth, "Then you could have called me out."

Fu Jinghen rested his chin on Wen Qiao’s shoulder and nuzzled, "How could I dare?"

Wen Qiao was made weak by Fu Jinghen’s puppy-like nuzzle, the warm breath by her ear making her less assertive, "You... you let me go first."

"Hold me for a while," Fu Jinghen tightened his hold around her waist, slowly closing his eyes, "During the meeting just now, those shareholders were so noisy, it gave me a headache, I need some comfort now."

Wen Qiao, seeing the faint weariness on his face, settled down and stopped fidgeting. After a while, she softly asked, "Did you encounter some problem?"

Hearing the concern in the little girl’s voice, Fu Jinghen smiled, "No, it’s nothing serious."

Fu Jinghen didn’t really want to hide anything from Wen Qiao; mainly, he didn’t want those troublesome matters to affect her mood.

The rise of e-commerce had dealt a significant blow to physical stores, with all the big shopping malls seeking a way out, striving for reform and innovation. However, the board’s conservative mindset was not a new issue, and changing their way of thinking was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

In this regard, Fu Jinghen was very patient. He wasn’t in a rush to change the board members’ minds; after all, as long as their own interests weren’t threatened, all the nice words were futile.

He was just looking for an excuse to hold Wen Qiao.

Holding the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Fu Jinghen couldn’t express how content he was. He thought that Cheng Jue, the unreliable guy who was only reliable when it came to relationships, had said something quite persuasive.

For instance, women are tender-hearted and emotional creatures, and occasionally playing the pity card can help heat things up between two people.

"Let go of me first," Wen Qiao patted his arm, "I’m not comfortable sitting like this."

At her words, Fu Jinghen immediately released his hold around her, opening his eyes to look at her, "What’s wrong?"

Wen Qiao turned a bit, adjusted her position, and sat sideways on Fu Jinghen’s lap. Then she pressed his head against her shoulder, "There, now I’m comfortable."
