Chapter 1765: Chapter 1765: Harboring a Thief’s Intentions

Xiao Ya choked up a bit, then continued: "But I never expected that he wasn’t in the office. When I put the documents in his office, I found a woman’s coat on the sofa in his office.

I thought about going downstairs to find a place to calm myself down, then go back up to ask him for an explanation. But to my surprise, I met him downstairs in the restaurant, and he was holding a woman in his arms.

Qiaoqiao, what do you think I should do now?"

Luo Qiao was also hesitant to jump to conclusions, but he believed there must be a misunderstanding. If his second brother was really that kind of person, he wouldn’t be the first to let him off.

In a soft voice, he said: "Sister-in-law, listen to me. Let’s get to the bottom of this first. I trust my second brother couldn’t do something like this. If he really did, I wouldn’t forgive him first. Don’t worry, I’ll call him and clear things up."

Xiao Ya sighed: "Don’t call him yet. I want to ask him myself."

Luo Qiao became nervous for his second brother: "Okay, I won’t call. Once you have results, call me immediately."

After hanging up, Luo Qiao kept pondering over this. If it were him, he probably wouldn’t be able to stay calm either. But his second brother wasn’t like that; yet, this was too coincidental.

After Xiao Ya and Luo Qiao hung up, she called Luo Xuyuan directly: "Xuyuan, where are you?"

Luo Xuyuan laughed: "I’m having lunch downstairs at the office. Are you feeling better now?"

Xiao Ya restrained the urge to curse: "Much better. Who are you having lunch with?"

Luo Xuyuan glanced back: "With a client. You stay home, I’ll come back later to get the documents and bring you some dessert on the way."

Xiao Ya replied indifferently: "No need. You go ahead and continue your work."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, drove back home from the parking lot, and found the housekeeper had already prepared a meal and left. She thought she shouldn’t treat herself poorly; why punish herself for someone else’s mistakes?

She sat down to eat the meal prepared by the housekeeper and then started packing her things. A business trip mission had come up a few days ago that she initially didn’t want to go on, but on her way back, she told her boss she would take the job and set off in the afternoon.

She packed her luggage, went out, and flagged a taxi.

When she arrived at the train station, a train was departing in half an hour, so she bought a ticket right away.

She felt she needed to calm down. Staying at home would certainly lead to arguments, and she needed to think about what to do in the future.

While Luo Qiao was having dinner with Shen Juan, he couldn’t focus and kept checking his phone.

Shen Juan asked: "What’s going on with you today? You’re constantly checking your phone. Who are you waiting for a call from?"

Then she teased with a smile: "Could you be waiting for a call from your Lu Yichen?"

Luo Qiao laughed: "Of course not. I’m waiting for my sister-in-law’s call. We agreed on it, and now it’s past the time, but there’s no call."

Shen Juan laughed: "She must be busy."

Luo Qiao casually replied with an ’um’ without elaborating.

When Shen Juan almost finished her meal, she finally said: "A few days ago, my Luo Chen was at your place for dinner?"

Luo Qiao nodded: "Yes. That day, Yanyan sprained her ankle at school. Luckily, she ran into Luo Chen, otherwise, she would’ve really suffered."

Shen Juan laughed: "Qiaoqiao, what do you think of our Luo Chen?"

Luo Qiao looked at Shen Juan: "What do you mean by this?"

Shen Juan shifted in her chair and whispered: "I think our Luo Chen surely likes your Yanyan. When he got home, he asked me so many things about Yanyan. I think he surely has a bit of a crush."
