At this moment, he was a little shaken.

There was also worry and fear that he had never felt before.

If she really didn’t want to, or couldn’t take it, what should he do?

On the way back alone, he actually thought about this question seriously.

If she was unwilling, he wouldn’t force her.

However, if she couldn’t take it, would he bear to see her under constant, immense pressure that shouldn’t have been hers?

The answer is obviously no.

Then what should he do if he couldn’t bear to?

What choice did he have?

At this moment, Lu Haiqiao’s voice woke him up from his reverie.

“Are you thinking about the unresolved matter?”

Xie Xuan was stunned. “Huh? Right..

“It’s okay.” Lu Haiqiao rested her chin on the pillow. Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ear. “I’ve already given you my good fortune. Everything will be fine.

She was referring to the string of dragon-eyed bodhi.

Hearing that, Xie Xuan chuckled.

“Didn’t I give you my blessing as well?”

Lu Haiqiao said, “So we’re even. We’ll both be safe and lucky.”

Both of us.

“Alright, it’s too late. Go to sleep.” Xie Xuan gave up on the original topic and coaxed her in a soft voice.

Actually, he wasn’t prepared. If he asked rashly, he might scare her.

Moreover, he didn’t know where to start.

But there was one thing he knew very well.

He liked her because every time he thought of her, it was as if he had met her for the first time.

The next morning, at 8:40 am, Lu Haiqiao went to work at the magazine agency as usual.

When she reached the elevator, the other employees in the same building saw her.

“Look, look, it’s Lu Haiqiao from the magazine agency on the same floor as us.” “She’s the one who was taken away by the police yesterday. They said she hurt someone.”

“Wow, it’s only been a day. No, just a few hours. She’s back already? Could there be a mistake?”

“How is that possible? There’s really been a mistake. Why would they come to the office to arrest someone?”

“But I heard from their magazine agency that this Lu Haiqiao is amazing. She has a few sugar daddies and has different cars to send her to work every day. Maybe one of the sugar daddies helped her settle it.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really couldn’t tell that such an innocent-looking person is actually like that.”

“What a joke. If she didn’t have any connections, how could she be released so quickly?”

“Stay away from this kind of woman. She’s the most disgusting person in the world!”

Lu Haiqiao smiled when she heard the nasty words at close range.

It was hard to imagine the scene when she returned to the magazine agency.

She turned around and shot an extremely cold look at the whispering people.

They were either embarrassed by being caught gossiping or were shocked by Lu Haiqiao’s gaze. All those employees immediately stopped talking. They looked at the ground, fumbled in their bags, and didn’t say anything until the elevator door opened.

As she expected, when she walked into the office, almost all the colleagues in the magazine focused their attention on Lu Haiqiao.

They gathered in groups of twos and threes and secretly sized up Lu Haiqiao while discussing softly. The content was similar to what she had heard in the elevator.

At this moment, she heard the sound of high heels. Her colleagues greeted the person as Miss Fang, and a woman’s voice filled with mockery rang out.

“Hey, isn’t this Miss Lu?

“How was it? Was it fun at the police station?”
