My Online Lover Lives Next Door (GL) - Chapter 37

“Little Star, why do you want to know what kind of person Gu Xiao is?” He Qing frowned, not hiding her displeasure.

Is my sister… misunderstanding me? Jian Fanxing quickly explained, “Sister, I just want to know what my love rival is like. After all, knowing your enemy helps you win every battle. I don’t have any other thoughts about her.”

“Oh, so that’s what you mean.” He Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, “Little Star, you don’t need to know what kind of person she is.”

“And also, she is not your love rival. I have never liked her.” He Qing looked at Jian Fanxing seriously. Gu Xiao had always been nothing but trouble to her. She only tolerated her because of the Gu Corporation.

Jian Fanxing nodded obediently. “Sister, I believe you.”

“But I don’t believe her.”

“Hm?”

Jian Fanxing then shared her thoughts. “Sister, I learned a little about Miss Gu from Mr. Lu just now. In the past, she behaved because you were always single. She was confident that she could win you over. But now that you have me, and Miss Gu is the kind of person who is very stubborn, I think we need to be careful. She might act recklessly in desperation.”

From Lu Feng’s words, Jian Fanxing understood that Gu Xiao was someone with determination and persistence. She had been set on winning over He Qing, so it was impossible for her to suddenly give up just because of her presence. That wasn’t the kind of person Gu Xiao was. So, Jian Fanxing felt she had to be on guard.

Seeing Jian Fanxing getting more and more serious, He Qing smiled, feeling very pleased.

“Little Star, do you know that you look really cute when you’re jealous?”

It makes me want to… kiss you.

He Qing reached out and lightly lifted Jian Fanxing’s chin with her finger. Without hesitation, she gently pressed her lips against Jian Fanxing’s soft ones.

Jian Fanxing’s eyes widened in shock. When He Qing pulled away, she quickly looked around like a thief, making sure no one else was around before she pouted. “Sister, we’re in the break room. What if someone walks in and sees us?”

That would be so embarrassing.

Though… she did like He Qing kissing her.

“If they see, then they see. It’s not like I’m kissing someone else.” He Qing looked unconcerned. She was kissing her own girlfriend. That wasn’t illegal.

Besides, this floor rarely had people coming by. Even if someone did, they would go straight to her office. The employees here had seen her enter the break room earlier, and He Qing was confident in their awareness.

He Qing stared at Jian Fanxing’s lips. That brief touch earlier really wasn’t enough.

Licking her lips, He Qing looked at Jian Fanxing with undisguised desire. “Little Star, can I kiss you again?”

Jian Fanxing’s face instantly turned bright red. “Sister…”

She never expected He Qing to be so straightforward all of a sudden. It scared her a little—this was the break room!

Even if He Qing was confident no one would barge in… what if someone did?

But she didn’t realize how much her soft voice affected He Qing. The impulse that He Qing had been holding back suddenly turned into an unstoppable force. Before Jian Fanxing could respond, He Qing kissed her again, this time more deeply.

At first, it was gentle, testing. Then, it became more intense, like she was savoring honey. Her movements were tender yet firm.

Jian Fanxing realized that He Qing’s kissing skills had improved so much. She remembered how awkward they both were during their first kiss, but now, He Qing had completely taken control.

She struggled for a moment, but soon, she lost herself in the kiss, letting He Qing lead her into the warmth.

Until—there was a knock on the door.

Outside the break room, Lu Feng stood there, looking through the glass door at the two people who were completely lost in each other. He felt like the heavens were punishing him.

If he interrupted He Qing’s moment, would she kill him?

It was all Old Mr. He’s fault! Why did he have to come now of all times? And he had to see He Qing immediately!

Did they even care about how hard this was for him?

Seeing the two finally separate because of his knock, Lu Feng quickly lowered his head to look at his feet.

“Miss He, I didn’t mean to disturb you and Miss Jian. Old President He is here, and he says he must see you immediately. I’m just a small secretary—I had no choice…” Lu Feng sounded extremely wronged.

Please, President He, don’t blame me for ruining your moment.

He Qing simply said, “I understand.”

Looking at the girl still nestled in her arms, He Qing smirked. “Little Star, my dad is here. Do you want to come with me to see him?”

Although she had already met He Jun before—and even received a red envelope from him—Jian Fanxing instinctively shook her head. “I’d rather not go.”

“Hm?”

Jian Fanxing pursed her lips. “I feel embarrassed.”

She had just kissed her sister so passionately that her face felt incredibly hot. It was probably as red as an apple. If she showed up in front of her sister’s father like this, wouldn’t that be like telling him outright that she had just been kissing his daughter?

Jian Fanxing felt embarrassed.

Lu Feng spoke at the right moment. “Miss Jian, Old President He knows you came to the company today, so he wants to see President He and also meet you.”

Jian Fanxing: “……”

Oh no, she couldn’t escape.

Jian Fanxing looked at He Qing with big, pleading eyes. “Sister, can I…?”

He Qing thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go first. You can wait ten minutes before coming to my office.”

Ten minutes would be enough time for Jian Fanxing to calm down.

Jian Fanxing was so happy that she immediately jumped up and gave He Qing a quick kiss on the cheek. “Thank you, Sister.”

He Qing smiled. “Alright, I’m going now.”

After speaking, He Qing strode out of the break room with her long legs. Lu Feng followed behind his boss, hesitating several times as if he wanted to say something.

But President He was such a sharp and meticulous person. She must have already noticed her smudged lipstick and the kiss mark on her face, right? If she didn’t mention it, maybe it was on purpose?

After much hesitation, Lu Feng decided to keep quiet.

Better not ruin his boss’s plan.

“Dad.”

As soon as He Qing entered the office, she saw He Jun sitting on the sofa. She walked over and greeted him politely.

“Hm, you’re here? Where’s Fanxing? I heard she came to the company with you today.” He Jun looked behind He Qing but didn’t see Jian Fanxing. He frowned and asked his daughter.

But when He Jun looked up, he immediately noticed the smudged lipstick on his daughter’s lips and the very obvious lip print on her face.

At that moment, He Jun understood why Jian Fanxing didn’t appear with his daughter.

However…

He Jun asked, “You just came here like this?”

He Qing raised an eyebrow. “Is there a problem?”

He Jun quickly shook his head. “No problem, no problem. It’s actually good for everyone in the company to know that you and Fanxing have a close relationship. This way, they won’t gossip behind your back about you being cold and distant.”

He Jun recalled overhearing his employees talking about his daughter, as well as how people in their social circle described her. He suddenly felt that his daughter should walk around the company with that smudged lipstick and kiss mark. It would be best if every employee saw it.

Thinking of this, He Jun took out his phone and opened the camera. “Xiao Qing, stand still. Let me take a picture.”

Click. The photo was taken. Without looking up, He Jun waved his hand at He Qing. “Alright, alright, you can go back to work now.”

He Jun looked at the picture he had just taken and grinned from ear to ear. Then, he edited the post and sent it to his social media.

After posting, He Jun looked up and saw his daughter staring at him.

“Xiao Qing, why are you looking at me like that? If you have work to do, go do it. I’ll sit here for a while and leave soon.”

After speaking, He Jun picked up his phone again and checked the post he had just sent. Most of his social media friends were old buddies who, like him, had retired from their positions and had nothing better to do than scroll through their phones all day. By now, they must have seen his post. He wondered if they had liked it yet. The comments were probably filled with jealousy and envy.

Haha, finally, his daughter was making him proud.

“Dad, you still haven’t told me why you’re here.” He Qing didn’t leave but asked instead.

She was growing impatient. He Qing was annoyed at her father’s behavior.

Only then did He Jun remember the real reason he had come.

“Well, since you’re in a relationship now, marriage isn’t far off. So, I thought I should remind you to buy a house for when you get married. Also, have you made any progress with Fanxing’s parents? You need to win over your future in-laws as soon as possible so you can marry Fanxing sooner. Do you have a plan for all this? Honestly, you’re already an adult. Do I still have to worry about these things for you?” He Jun’s words were full of dissatisfaction with his daughter.

He Qing: “……I understand.”

“So, you came here in such a hurry and insisted on seeing me just for this?” He Qing asked.

“Of course! Isn’t this important?” He Jun saw his daughter’s expression turn sour and suddenly realized something. “Oh, I see, Xiao Qing! Are you upset because I interrupted your little moment?”

“Sigh, once people get old, their children start to dislike them. Fine, fine, I’ll leave, I’ll leave.” He Jun said as he grabbed his cane and stood up, looking pitiful and wronged.

He Qing: “……”

Just as He Jun was about to open the door, it opened from the outside, and Jian Fanxing accidentally bumped into him.

“Uncle He, are you leaving already?” Jian Fanxing asked sweetly.

“Hmph, of course, I have to leave! My own daughter is already starting to dislike me. If I stay, I’ll just be getting cold looks.” He Jun huffed, then looked at Jian Fanxing. “Fanxing, I have to say, you need to keep Xiao Qing in check. This girl has such a bad temper, and I’m her father!”

Hearing this, Jian Fanxing looked at He Qing. Did her sister really do something bad to Uncle He?

Seeing Jian Fanxing’s doubtful expression, He Qing pursed her lips, feeling a headache coming on.

Jian Fanxing quickly withdrew her gaze and apologized on He Qing’s behalf. “Uncle He, no matter what Sister did, I’m sure she didn’t mean it. Let me apologize for her, okay?”

“Alright, alright.” He Jun hadn’t really been angry in the first place. Since Jian Fanxing was giving him an easy way out, how could he refuse? However, he couldn’t resist glancing at his daughter and huffing again. “Look at your wife, so polite and respectful. Unlike you.”

After scolding He Qing, He Jun turned back to Jian Fanxing. “Fanxing, have you told your parents yet?”

“Told them what?”
