After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 171: Chapter 172 Oh! my lady gaga [4]

Picking up his phone from the desk, Leng Zimo took steps toward the conference room door.

One of his subordinates had already walked to the door to open it for him.

He nodded lightly to the person in thanks and then continued through the door. Remembering the call he had just received, a smile once again bent upwards at the corners of his lips.

”Oh! my lady gaga!” the chief strategist from the planning department whispered in awe, ”I thought we were going to get scolded again, but who would’ve thought, today His Majesty didn’t lose his temper!”

”Didn’t you see? President Leng was smiling when he walked out just now!” an underling from the marketing department said.

Everyone exchanged a knowing look and started smiling with a hint of mischief.

”It must be that phone call, are we saying that our Venerable Master is in love?!”

...

”Cough!” Ailin gave a light cough, ”Everyone, have you forgotten about the planning proposal you still have to work on?!”

Hearing her mention the proposal, the group lost their appetite for gossip. They immediately started gathering their computers and documents, hurrying back to their offices to research.

Watching everyone leave, Ailin packed up her computer and materials from the desk and returned to the CEO’s office, only to see that Leng Zimo had already come out.

”Cancel the dinner for tonight. Also, I might come in late tomorrow morning, so handle anything that comes up for me, and don’t call unless it’s an emergency!”

He left quickly after giving her the instructions.

After Leng Zimo left, the other assistants in the office immediately gathered around Ailin.

”Hey, Sister Ailin, I heard that our Emperor is in love, is that true or false?”

”I’m willing to bet it’s true. Our workaholic here has never left the office before nightfall before!”

...

The girls chatted back and forth, all wearing excited expressions.

Ailin pushed her glasses up slightly, ”If I remember correctly, you haven’t prepared the reports I asked for, right?!”

Instantly, everyone retreated to their own workstations and got busy.

...

...

World City.

Luo Xiaoqian put down her shopping bags in the kitchen and immediately hummed a tune as she returned to the living room. Carefully, she took out a photo from her wallet. She swiftly got up to get her camera from upstairs and carefully took several shots reproducing the photo.

”This way I don’t have to worry about losing the photo again. Luo Xiaoqian, you’re so smart. That guy always calls you an idiot as if he’s some genius!”

Setting the camera aside, she carefully tucked the photo into a frame and held it up, looking for a fitting spot but could not find the right place.

Although she had lived here for several days, Luo Xiaoqian never really felt like it was her place. Naturally, she felt that no place seemed right for the photo frame.

Helplessly, she could only set it on the coffee table for now, and then turned to organize the food and ingredients she had bought in the kitchen.

After sorting the various foods and ingredients into their respective places in the fridge and observing the fridge now full of food, her mood instantly improved.

”Dumplings for the main dish, then some cold dishes on the side, that’s settled!”

Glancing at the time and seeing it was past five o’clock, she went upstairs to change into home clothes, came back down to the kitchen, put on her apron, and started preparing right away.

Washing cucumbers, peeling preserved eggs...

With one hand injured and unable to exert too much force, these simple tasks didn’t stump Luo Xiaoqian. Though slower than usual, she finished preparing several dishes of cold appetizers smoothly.

By the time she put on water to boil, the doorbell had also started to ring.

Who could it be at this time?

Luo Xiaoqian trotted over to the door, looking through the peephole with curiosity.
