My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1062 - 972: Stay Away from Him in the Future

Jealousy can still stir, prompting him to remark, "I paid a visit to the old man a few days prior but didn’t encounter you two. It seems your schedules are more packed than I imagined."

"It’s all much the same. Work these days moves at a breakneck pace; efficiency is paramount. While maintaining quality, the quicker the better."

These words struck a chord, planting seeds of thought within her, leading to a deep contemplation of various matters. Ultimately, she noticed Lu Xing maintained his pleasant demeanor, showing no outward sign that anything was amiss.

"Pardon me, I need to take a call."

Relief washed over her upon receiving Lu Qing’s call, allowing her to create a slight distance from Lu Xing. She briefly informed him about her conversation with Lu Qing. As anticipated, Lu Qing wasn't pleased by this news. She acknowledged his feelings with a nod, stating, "Understood. I'm on my way up to find you now."

Aware of Lu Qing’s consistent disdain for Lu Xing, and Lu Xing’s own enigmatic nature, she seriously considered Lu Qing’s earlier statements. She then returned to her original position and informed Lu Xing, "I'm heading upstairs now."

Lu Xing glanced at his watch and responded, "I need to go up as well. Let's head up together."

Qin Miaomiao felt a subtle repulsion, uncertain whether his intention was genuine or merely another tactic to prolong their conversation. Regardless, she harbored no desire to engage further with Lu Xing.

The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped inside first.

Lu Xing stood beside her. With no one else in sight, he seemed to relax, turning towards her and commenting, "I hadn't realized your bond was quite this strong."

Qin Miaomiao replied with composure, "We are married, of course our relationship would be strong, wouldn't it?"

Her confident declaration dispelled all of Lu Xing’s former uncertainties. He had initially hoped to exploit a flaw in their relationship, but Qin Miaomiao’s words painted a different picture, igniting a spark of envy within him regarding their connection.

Lu Xing lacked a certain quality that Lu Qing possessed; how could one not feel a pang of envy?

"If you had encountered me first, would you still have favored Lu Qing and chosen to marry him?"

The abrupt shift in topic left Qin Miaomiao momentarily bewildered. She turned her head in surprise to face him, asking, "That's quite peculiar, Mr. Lu. Why would you pose such a question?"

"Isn't it a natural inquiry for me to make?"

Lu Xing's gaze shifted, observing her intently, his curiosity piqued about her potential response.

"In my perspective, many things are not contingent on 'what ifs.' I don't typically dwell on hypotheticals."

Qin Miaomiao spoke as the elevator reached its destination. Without looking back, she added, "I'm leaving now."

A flicker of helplessness crossed Lu Xing’s features as he watched Qin Miaomiao depart the elevator, his gaze cool.

"Mrs. Lu, this way, please."

Qin Miaomiao offered the assistant a slightly apologetic look, "My apologies for the delay."

"Not at all. The president had instructed me earlier. Please proceed inside."

Upon seeing Qin Miaomiao enter, Lu Qing, remembering she had been speaking with Lu Xing, immediately inquired about him.

"Did he say anything unusual to you?"

Qin Miaomiao recalled their conversation within the elevator. Her thoughts raced: Lu Xing's recent words were absolutely not something she should disclose to Lu Qing. Who knew how he might react, and it certainly wouldn't be beneficial to his mood.

Thus, she adopted a smile and approached Lu Qing, saying, "Nothing significant. He merely saw me alone and we made small talk. That's precisely why I came upstairs."

"In the future, please maintain a distance from him."

"I understand."

Concluding his final task, Lu Qing took Qin Miaomiao’s hand, and they exited the office together.
