Chapter 73: Chapter 73

Feeling Shen Jue’s gaze still on him, Lin Bufan continued, "Ah Suo said that Miss Rong Qingqing also ordered a single portion for lunch delivery, so don’t worry, boss, Miss Rong Qingqing definitely didn’t use the stuff in that box with anyone today!"

"Do you think I care about that?" Shen Jue snorted, "She stayed alone in the apartment all day?"

"Yes, but because the curtains were drawn, Ah Suo doesn’t know what Miss Rong Qingqing was doing inside the apartment." Lin Bufan thought for a moment and guessed, "Could she have been painting?"

Shen Jue glanced at his watch and asked, "Did she call back to say she’s spending the night outside?"

"No, she didn’t." Lin Bufan shook his head, "But she did call Nanny Zhao to say she wouldn’t be back for dinner, probably returning to Shen Manor around eight tonight."

Since he knew Rong Qingqing would return to Shen Manor that evening, Shen Jue didn’t ask further questions.

Meanwhile, at the apartment, Rong Qingqing was busy until 7:30, only then did she finish copying the files, checked the time, got up and left with her bag.

Rong Qingqing didn’t rush back to Shen Manor but went first to the nearest Bainaohui to buy a laptop, then drove to the mall.

An hour later, Rong Qingqing came out of the mall, hands full with various shopping bags, and then drove back to Shen Manor.

When Rong Qingqing entered, Shen Qiao was still in the living room; true to his foodie nature, of all the things in Rong Qingqing’s hands, he only noticed the milk tea.

"Here’s yours," Rong Qingqing handed Shen Qiao his share, "I remember you said last time you love the cheese milk foam from this place."

Shen Qiao nodded like a pounding garlic, "Mm! Mm! Mm!"

Shen Qiao accepted it and said thank you. Just as he was about to ask what Rong Qingqing did all day outside, he looked up to see Rong Qingqing was already in the elevator.

Less than a minute later, the door to Shen Jue’s room on the fourth floor was knocked.

Lin Bufan looked up towards the door, guessing, "It should be Miss Rong Qingqing back, should I open the door for her?"

After waiting a few seconds without seeing Shen Jue refuse, Lin Bufan got the hint and went over to open the door for Rong Qingqing.

Seeing Rong Qingqing walk in with a heap of items in hand, Lin Bufan was startled, half thinking she might have ended up in the wrong room after shopping.

"Oh, by the way, Lin Bufan, I brought you a cup of milk tea, here, pick one for yourself, and leave the other one for me." Rong Qingqing handed over a paper bag to Lin Bufan.

Shen Jue just watched the two of them happily discussing their tastes and splitting the two cups of milk tea right in front of him.

As if he didn’t exist, no one asked him a thing.

Shen Jue frowned, forcibly interjecting his cold and stern voice into their harmonious banter.

"Rong Qingqing, what did you come to see me for?"

Hearing this, Rong Qingqing was taken aback, patting her head, she had started chatting with Lin Bufan and almost forgot about it.

"Hold this for me." Rong Qingqing placed her milk tea in Lin Bufan’s hand and walked over to Shen Jue.

Stopping in front of Shen Jue, Rong Qingqing directly dumped everything she was holding into Shen Jue’s arms, or rather, placed them on his lap.

There were so many things that they couldn’t all fit, several items even fell to the floor.

Seeing this wouldn’t work, Rong Qingqing took back all the bags.

Then, she unwrapped them one by one, handing everything inside to Shen Jue.
