Cen Linrong looked at Xu Liunian who was in her arms lovingly, but her tone was filled with tender love.

"We're not friends yet, but I'll try to make her my girlfriend."

Although his words were directed at Liang Peiqing, but they contained a provocation towards Lu Jianqing.

Liang Peiqing glanced at Lu Jianqing from the corner of her eye. Seeing that his eyes were deep and her face was still indifferent, she couldn't help but feel at ease.

She turned around and asked curiously, "Oh right, why did you come to the hospital? "Who was the one injured?"

Just as Cen Linrong was about to speak up, he was interrupted by Xu Liunian. She said half-truthfully, "That's right, senior's waist is injured. I'll accompany him to the hospital to check it out."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Cen Linrong's hand and left him with a sentence: "We still have matters to attend to, so we will be leaving first."

Just as she brushed shoulders with Lu Jianqing, this man who had always been silent finally spoke.

"If I remember correctly, today should be a working day."

Hearing that, Xu Liunian's expression froze, and her feet paused.

Lu Jianqing turned around, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, then coldly said: "It's almost 9, I did not receive your note, so you should be at the company and not the hospital."

Xu Liunian's lips formed a straight line, and the hand grabbing onto Cen Linrong's wrist unconsciously tightened as well.

Cen Linrong revealed worry in his eyes, as he patted her shoulders and comforted her silently.

Seeing this, the coldness in Lu Jianqing's eyes intensified. With an expressionless face, he said, "Our company isn't a welfare institution. If this continues, you will scram together with your friends."

obviously knew how important Zhao Ying was to sher, as he repeatedly poked her weak spot.

Even though she really wanted to say, "If you don't want to do it, then don't want to do it. Who cares?" But for Zhao Ying's sake, she compromised once again.

She suppressed her inner anger and nodded her head heavily, then left the hospital in a rage along with Cen Linrong.

In the carriage, Cen Linrong said worriedly, "Fleeting Time, the wound on your waist is so severe, it's best to rest for a day."

Xu Liunian laughed bitterly and shook her head. If she did not go to work, Lu Jianqing would definitely keep her promise and kick him and her out of the company.

She absolutely did not want to implicate Zhao Ying, so she refused Cen Linrong's good intentions and insisted on going to work.

Without Cen Linrong's support, the pain in her waist forced her to take small steps.

Fortunately, after applying the ointment, the unbearable pain was no longer that severe. He just needed to be careful.

However, the situation was not as good as he thought. Suddenly, a figure appeared at the corner of the street, walking in a hurry.

Before she could even stop her feet, Xu Liunian was knocked to the ground.

The originally somewhat relieved pain swept over her once again. Her face turned pale and she was speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded out by her ear, "Xu Liunian, you have changed your ways! How unlucky!"

The person who bumped into her was the director of the public information department. He curled his lips in disgust, patted off the non-existent dust on his body and walked away.

Xu Liunian climbed up from the ground with much difficulty, the injury on her waist becoming even more severe.

A pain as dense as needles engulfed her entire body, but when she thought about Lu Jianqing's threat, she decided to endure the pain and continue working.

Seeing that Xu Liunian's face was still pale and was walking with difficulty, Zhao Ying sneaked over to him and asked with concern, "Fleeting Time, are you alright? Why is your face so pale?"

In order to not worry her best friend, Xu Liunian acted as if nothing had happened.

"I'm fine. Maybe I caught a cold last night and drank some hot water."

Zhao Ying left skeptically, but Cen Linrong was still worried about her waist injury. Once he got off work, he arrived at the bottom of the Hongsheng Group.

The moment Xu Liunian walked out of the company building, she was slapped into a wall and was carried away by Cen Linrong in front of everyone.

Her face immediately flushed red, and she struggled a little, "Senior, let me down, I can walk by myself."

But Cen Linrong did not have any intention to let go, his tone was full of determination.

"No, the doctor said that you need to rest well. You must be exhausted after working all day. Let me carry you away."

Before they had even taken two steps, they met Lu Jianqing who had an ice-cold expression on his face.

Seeing his "love rival", Lu Jianqing squinted his eyes and warned his with a serious tone.

"Isn't Second Young Master Cen's hand a little too long?" "We don't even have an outsider running our company yet."

After saying that, he domineeringly stepped forward and pulled Xu Liunian out from Cen Linrong's embrace.

With this pull, the already serious injuries on Xu Liunian's waist became even more severe.

Her face paled for a moment, and her brows furrowed as she swallowed the painful cries at the corner of her mouth.

Cen Linrong had naturally noticed her pain and blurted out words of worry.

"Fleeting Time, your waist …"

"Senior!"

Knowing that he had something to say, Xu Liunian hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Senior, it's getting late, you can go back first. I will take care of my own matters, thank you for your good will."

Her manner was polite and distant, and the distance between them widened once more.

Seeing Xu Liunian's determined and stubborn eyes, Cen Linrong's passion was extinguished.

Between Lu Jianqing and herself, she still chose Lu Jianqing.

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in his heart. His eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness.

He turned to Lu Jianqing and said full of hostility: "Since Fleeting Time has chosen to go with you, then you must take good care of her, or else I'll definitely not let you off."

As she watched Cen Linrong's icy-cold face leave, she lowered her eyes to swallow the bitterness in the corner of her lips.

In the end, she had still hurt the man who loved her.

Her silence and the aura around her body made Lu Jianqing's expression exceptionally gloomy and cold.

He took her by the arm and led her to the underground parking lot, occasionally running into some of the employees of the company.

He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart any longer, so he opened the car door and threw her inside.

"Ugh …"

His heavily injured waist immediately collided with the somewhat hard leather car seat.

The intense pain made her grunt in pain, and her face distorted.

Lu Jianqing could immediately tell that something was wrong from her voice, the anger immediately dissipating by half.

He knelt on one knee on the carriage, and with one hand, he grabbed Xu Liunian's arms that he wanted to resist, and fixed it above her head.

His eyes roved over her body like X-rays, and his other hand immediately took aim, heading for the hem of her blouse.

A large swath of cyan and purple light around Xu Liunian's waist suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The bruises on her white and tender waist made her appear even more eerie and terrifying.

"Are you stupid?" The worry in Lu Jianqing's eyes turned into anger and he shouted out.

Looking at the stubborn woman below him, he had no place to vent his anger. He could only shut the door firmly and head towards the hospital at lightning speed.
