Hearing sounds outside, Xia Lu immediately stood up and walked to the door, seeing a car parked at the gate through the glass.
Zhou Mingchen got out of the car and told Qiu Cheng to drive back directly. "Be careful on the road, watch the road while driving, don't look around," he instructed.
Qiu Cheng looked at him, "Since there's no woman sitting with you when you go back, I'm too lazy to even look." After saying this, he started the car right away, turned around, and left without waiting for Zhou Mingchen to speak.
Zhou Mingchen stood still, pondering what he just said, "Truly getting more and more presumptuous."
Seeing him walking toward the gate, Xia Lu quickly ran to the sofa, sat down, and picked up the strawberries she hadn't finished eating. She was initially speculating who he might be with since he returned so late, but now that it was with Qiu Cheng, it must have been work-related. If it were personal, he could easily have avoided Qiu Cheng.
