C108 Only Cooperation

Xia Jing seemed to notice something as she changed the curtains. She suddenly stopped and looked down the stairs.

But there was nothing downstairs.

The autumn wind blew the fallen leaves, creating a desolate scene.

She could not help but frown. What was wrong with her? Why did she keep feeling that someone was looking at her?

It was as if she was being followed. It was just that this feeling was strange and familiar.

It didn't make her afraid. Instead, it made her feel a little heartache.

She doesn't know why her heart hurts.]

She subconsciously held her chest with her left hand and frowned even more.

"Xiao Jing, what's wrong with you?" Just as Su An finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out, she saw Xia Jing standing at the window in a daze. She was staring down with a stunned expression, as if she was thinking about something dangerous.

She was shocked and hurriedly went over to grab her hand: "Xiao Jing, don't take things too hard. This is the fifth floor, and I found the house for you. If anything happens to you, I won't forgive myself."

Thinking about what Xia Jing had been through recently, Su An suddenly regretted finding her such a high floor. If Xiao Jing couldn't think it through, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She was really stupid. If she had known earlier, she would have found a first and second floor, but she chose such a high floor.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Jing rolled her eyes powerlessly. "An An, don't make such a big fuss out of such a small matter, okay? If I didn't want to take things seriously, I would have done something stupid a long time ago. Do you think I have done anything stupid in so many days? I'm not as weak as you think. I'm fine now, so don't become neurasthenic."

She was just curious about how that feeling came about from time to time.

Was it an illusion? Or was there really someone following her?

"Are you really alright?" Su An still could not believe it. Xiao Jing had been too calm for the past few days, as calm as a sign of a storm. She could not help but be worried.

"It's fine. Don't be so neurotic. Alright, I've cleaned up pretty much here. You can go home and have a good rest. Please be energized tomorrow; there are still a lot of things waiting for you to do."

Xia Jing pushed her out as she spoke.

Su An was pushed to the door by her in a row and said helplessly, "Xiao Jing, don't work too hard. You have just moved out of your house, so you should also rest at home. Don't go to the company in the afternoon. Now that the company's operations have stabilized, you don't have to worry so much every day."

"Alright, alright. I know. Go back quickly."

Xia Jing waved her hand at her, then pulled the door shut.

As soon as she closed the door, she squatted powerlessly behind the door. Her chest was throbbing with pain, which was very inexplicable.

What was going on?

She couldn't understand it. Every day, she tried her best not to think about that man, but she felt like she couldn't do it. She just couldn't help but feel that familiar feeling in her heart.

Closing her eyes, two streams of tears flowed down Xia Jing's face.

"Boss, where the hell did you go? There is a problem with the power in the south. If you don't come out and solve it, I'm afraid our identities will be exposed very soon."

Xie Yan sounded extremely anxious.

Shen Ruo Bai's cold face was expressionless as the car drove out of the apartment: "I'll be right there."

Then, he hung up the phone and opened the window. The speed of the car was very fast, and the wind whistled in his ears. It was early autumn, but it was still warm.

Xiao Jing, wait for me.

After Qin Mo returned to the main company in America for a while, he heard that Xia Jing and Shen Ruo Bai had broken off their engagement.

For a moment, he was shocked, happy, and suspicious.

Why was it so sudden?

"Miss Xia is no longer a married woman. Director Qin, your chance seems to have come." Although Mr. Bodyguard had always been cold and cool, his words were always straight to the point.

Hearing this, Qin Mo looked at him and saw that he had a serious face. After a moment of shock, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

It was rare for Xia Jing to have the time to come to Qin Mo's manor, and it was for official business.

"I didn't plan to come here in such a hurry, but Mr. Bodyguard called me and told me that you were free today, so we came here to talk about the project. I found a few problems, and I have written them down one by one. Come and take a look."

As Xia Jing spoke, she opened the document she had brought and took out a red pen to write down the main points of the problems.

"I think these problems might be quite serious. This is the first time that the Xia family has done such a big project, so I don't want to have any oversights. Especially if I work with Mr. Qin."

Qin Mo's company was a well-known company at home and abroad. It was the honor of the Xia family to be able to work with them. The outside world was also very suspicious of the Xia family business. At this time, she wanted to do every project perfectly without any mistakes.

Looking at Xia Jing's dedication to her work, Qin Mo seemed to be at a loss of what to do.

Mr. Bodyguard was also very embarrassed as he watched from behind. Seeing that Qin Mo was unable to say a word after holding it in for a long time, he could not help but say, "Miss Xia, our CEO Qin has just returned from overseas and has yet to have lunch. Do you want to talk about business after lunch?"

"Have you had lunch yet?" Xia Jing looked at Mr. Bodyguard, then at Qin Mo: "Aren't you used to eating the food on the plane? Since we haven't eaten, let's hurry up and talk about it. Twenty minutes should be enough. It won't affect Mr. Qin's lunch time."

Qin Mo's face became even more unsightly. After a long while, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Yes, I have eaten. I eat on time. Mr. Qin, you see, I think the first thing to solve for this project is still this problem. The design drawings this time and this time..."

Xia Jing drew a few lines on the document and continued to chatter. Qin Mo, on the other hand, weakly turned his head to look at Mr. Bodyguard, hoping that he would give him some advice.

When he met Xia Jing, he swore that it was really not for work. He had a lot of things he wanted to tell her and a lot of questions he wanted to ask her, but she talked to him about work seriously as soon as she arrived. How could he have the nerve to ask?

He had never seen her so enthusiastic about her work before, but he was not used to it all of a sudden.

Mr. Bodyguard obviously could not cope with such an occasion, so he cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to prepare lunch."

"Wait, prepare a set for Xiao Jing too." Xia Jing raised her head in surprise and looked at Qin Mo. Didn't she tell him that she had already finished her meal?

Qin Mo smiled gently and said, "You are so busy with your work all day that you definitely did not eat much lunch. Coincidentally, I did not eat either, so you can accompany me to eat more."

Xia Jing lowered her head to look at her flat stomach. Thinking about it, it made sense. At noon, she ordered take-out. She had just taken a few bites when a customer came to the company. She went to receive the client, but by the time she finished receiving the client, the food had already cooled down. She did not have the habit of eating cold dishes, so she was indeed a little hungry.

"Alright then. Thank you, Mr. Qin." A grateful smile appeared on Xia Jing's face. She then lowered her head to look at the document, "I've already told Mr. Qin about the specifics of this problem. Do you have any good solutions? I have drafted a few plans for myself, but I don't know whether they will work or not. Let me take a look."

"Xiao Jing." Qin Mo's eyes did not look at her document at all but at her person.

Xia Jing didn't know if she was too engrossed in her work or if she deliberately did not care about it. She continued as if nothing had happened, "I don't think these plans of mine are very good, but I can't see anything wrong with them. Mr. Qin, you have a lot of experience, so you should be able to tell at a glance. Do you have any better solutions?"

After saying that, Xia Jing raised her head and was a little stunned when she saw the expression on Qin Mo's face.

He stared at her without blinking. His eyes were filled with heartache.

"Mr. Qin, you are..." He really could not understand why she was worth his heartache. Why did Qin Mo look at her like that?

Also, Su An had been showing this expression to her from time to time, which made her very depressed.

"Xiao Jing, can we not talk about work first?" Although it was a question, Qin Mo reached over and closed her document, turning this question into a sentence of affirmation.

Right now, he had no intention of talking about work at all.

However, Xiao Jing's sudden sincerity towards her work made him feel very uncomfortable.

He had known her for such a long time, but it was the first time he had seen her like this. In the past, she was free and unconstrained, but now, it was as if there were too many things that restrained her. Even her heart seemed to have been trapped and became different from before.

"Not talking about work?" Xia Jing opened her mouth slightly, looking a little surprised. If she wasn't talking about work, then what was she doing here?

There were so many things to do in the company, so she didn't have the time to come to the manor to play.

"Xiao Jing, aren't we friends?" Seeing the shock and coldness on her face, Qin Mo felt a little uncomfortable.

This person was now completely treating him as a client and had no other relationship with him.

"Of course we are friends. We were before, and we are now. It's just that Mr. Qin, you have an extra identity, and you are still my client now, so wouldn't it affect our friendship if we talk about work?"

She could differentiate between work and friendship. Just because Qin Mo was her customer didn't mean that she did not treat him as a friend.

"I just returned home. I only know about domestic matters after returning home." Qin Mo wanted to say something, but he stopped. Xia Jing seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. She suddenly lowered her head in dejection and did not say a word. Qin Mo glanced at her and asked, "You and Shen Ruo Bai, have you broken off the engagement?"

Xia Jing remained silent. Qin Mo thought that she had tacitly agreed. In fact, even if she didn't agree, all the reliable news and gossip would have already spread the news. The news that Shen Ruo Bai had personally revealed didn't need Xiao Jing to prove anything.

"I know that your question is very presumptuous, but I'm very surprised. I thought that the news I received after returning to the country would be that the two of you were married, but I never thought that it would be the exact opposite."
