Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1336: When Did She Start Acting So Spoiled?

Lin Hua’s voice was trembling, "Jingyao."

King Jingyao did not respond, he just moved his hand more slowly.

Lin Hua’s voice trembled again, "Jingyao."

He casually hummed in acknowledgment, didn’t say anything else, and continued gently stroking her head, later pulling her into his embrace... She felt the warmth of his chest, the fabric of his shirt heating her face to a faint blush.

In front of them, the driver Old Zhao was silently suffering: could they not restrain themselves a bit? Even old couples behave this way, so lovey-dovey.

This was something he did not understand. Knowing that King Jingyao was always busy, carving out this time during the day was no small feat, and since Lin Hua had been drinking and was in the car, naturally, emotions were running high.

Later, they did not recall what they ate at the French restaurant, but Wang Jingchuan arranged a suite for them to rest, which Old Wang was quite pleased with...

Lin Hua, slightly tipsy, fell into a deep sleep exhausted.

He stood by the bed tying his tie, still having an important meeting to attend. But leaving like this was difficult; he bent over and whispered in her ear, "Get some good sleep, I’ll come pick you up tonight."

Lin Hua extended a delicate arm from under the blanket, wrapped it around his neck, her voice lazy, "More business?"

He gently hummed a yes and pinched her cheek, "I’ll accompany you tonight."

She didn’t let go, and he laughed, "Why are you acting spoiled like Xiao Yue."

Lin Hua felt a bit embarrassed, opened her eyes, "Jingyao."

He seemed pensive, "What’s the matter?"

She wanted to talk about having a child and also about discussing He Qi, but just then King Jingyao’s phone rang. It was Wang Jingchuan calling, reminding him that the meeting time was approaching, and Wang Jingchuan was anxiously calling to hurry things along——

Truly, Mr. Wang was being quite immature. The afternoon meeting was very important, yet he spent the time here in romance, claiming a nap during lunch break that usually lasted an hour at most, now extended to two hours with no end in sight.

When he made this call, King Jingyao, naturally not very happy, had no choice—some duties must be attended to in his position, so he kissed his wife’s cheek: "Wait for me here."

Lin Hua hummed in response, he kissed her a while longer, then reluctantly left.

Descending the stairs, Old Wang was in both a bad and good mood, with a grumpy face as he glanced at Secretary General Wang: "Jingchuan, you’re becoming more adept."

Wang Jingchuan, sharp as always, knew he had interrupted his boss’s pleasant moment, so as he opened the car door for his superior, he smiled apologetically, "Isn’t there a meeting this afternoon? Otherwise, the entire afternoon would be leisure time, don’t you agree? But we can leave early today after work."

He handled the situation smoothly: "Except for this meeting, I rescheduled everything else. Could we finish by six o’clock?"

King Jingyao sat in the car, adjusted his tie thoughtfully, "Can you guarantee it?"

Secretary General Wang, with lowered eyes, dutifully replied, "I can certainly guarantee it."

King Jingyao said nothing more and closed his eyes to rest.

Inwardly, Wang Jingchuan thought: He must be tired, yet he chooses not to rest and doesn’t take care of his health. But such thoughts he wouldn’t dare voice to King Jingyao, knowing it could mean trouble for him.

However, the afternoon left King Jingyao on edge, as the meeting that was scheduled to end at six continued until nine. When King Jingyao left the conference room, he was visibly disgruntled, causing Secretary General Wang to tread carefully, afraid of triggering his superior’s temper.

King Jingyao was indeed complaining once in the car, his expression was like a stormy sea: "Jingchuan, you saw it too, Old Wu is becoming increasingly outrageous, overstepping his bounds."

Wang Jingchuan was taken aback; he assumed Mr. Wang would be angry about the overtime, but the issue was actually with Old Wu. Although surprised, he composed himself and adeptly offered his thoughts, to which King Jingyao agreed, "You make a valid point, Jingchuan. Let’s freeze him out for a bit, give him a warning, and if he doesn’t wise up, then you should take decisive action. The rules mustn’t be broken for this bastard."

He ground his fine white teeth, "It’s just that we’ve been too good to them. One after another fails to show gratitude; they just keep taking more. It’s too much greed."

Wang Jingchuan comforted him, "These are minor issues, leave them to me to handle."

King Jingyao dusted his trousers, somewhat aloof, "I’m confident in your abilities."

He paused and continued, "I can see he bullies Zhou Yunchen because he’s young. Heh, Zhou Yunchen is someone I promoted; you have to respect the master when scolding the dog. He didn’t behave this way when Min Xin was around, right?"

"Indeed." Wang Jingchuan quickly soothed him, "Mr. Min always respected you and understood the situation, unlike Old Wu from some remote place who can’t read the room."

He chuckled, "But if Mr. Zhou hears you say ’scold the dog, respect the master,’ he might just up and leave this mess behind."

King Jingyao feigned anger, "Let him go then, I’m not begging him to stay."

Though he said that, he eventually laughed to himself.

Wang Jingchuan also laughed, "You may say that, but in truth, you’re quite satisfied and fond of Mr. Zhou. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have fought against the odds to personally back him up."

He mused that somehow, Gu Anxi had a role in this, but King Jingyao didn’t seem too concerned: "It’s not because of Anxi either!"

He paused, "I owe something to Old He; Yun Chen is also a proud person, which is quite similar to that little brat, although the brat and I have a sibling connection, unlike Zhou Yunchen. I was wrong about that incident, so helping him more now can be considered compensation."

After saying that, King Jingyao indeed seemed a bit weary, laying a hand under his head as he opened up to Wang Jingchuan, "Jingchuan, if I could drop this matter, I would have long ago. But it’s not that simple!"

He turned his head, "It’s impossible to give up. There’s also that boy Zhou Mu from the Zhou family... You haven’t noticed anything odd, have you? Why do you think Zhou Yunchen asked to train Wang Yue specifically? Haven’t you thought about it? First, he excluded his own son."

Wang Jingchuan was a bit puzzled, chuckling, "That’s not for me to say. Is there some deeper reason?"

King Jingyao sighed lightly, "Zhou Mu has grown up, perhaps even more than Shen Congwen... Who knows what the future holds for such a boy. He’s born too well; don’t you think he looks better than Bo Xin and Wang Yue and the others? If he were a girl, it wouldn’t matter, but he’s a boy."

Secretary General Wang casually remarked, "A boy born this way, there’s probably no one else like him."

Upon saying it, he was taken aback.

He stared wide-eyed directly at King Jingyao.
