When Wang Linlin hung up the call, Boss Wang was standing at the door of her office.

He originally wanted to ask Wang Linlin if she wanted to eat at the restaurant. Who knew that when he arrived, he would see Wang Linlin on the phone with Chen Ming, inviting him to her birthday party.

This made Boss Wang a little suspicious.

Could it be that his daughter really had feelings for Chen Ming?

However, Chen Ming and Qin Qing’s relationship was…

Anyone with eyes could tell that their relationship went beyond the boundaries of friendship. Based on Boss Wang’s understanding of Wang Linlin, he knew that she was 100% able to see that there was something between them.

Filled with doubt, Boss Wang knocked on the half-opened door. Wang Linlin, who was busy dealing with documents, looked up when she heard that. When she saw that it was her father, she casually said, “Dad, please come in.”

Boss Wang went straight to the leather sofa and sat down, brewing a pot of tea silently. At the same time, he was trying to figure out how to broach the topic.

The fragrance of the tea filled the air, easing the awkward atmosphere.

His silence caught Wang Linlin’s attention.

“Dad, I know something’s up.”

She paused and continued, “You don’t visit without a reason, and you’ve been sitting there staring at the tea since you entered the room.”

Hearing this, Boss Wang paused for a moment. However, he quickly regained his composure before Wang Linlin noticed that something was amiss.

“Ah, I’m not here for anything really.”

Boss Wang did not stop making the tea.

“I just feel that Chen Ming has a bright future ahead of him. I wanted to ask you…”

He deliberately slowed down before he said the next words.

“Linlin, what do you think of him?”

Hearing this sudden question, Wang Linlin, who was filling in a form, stopped what she was doing. She leaned against her office chair and thought for a moment.

“He’s pretty good. He’s outstanding in every aspect.”

As soon as Wang Linlin finished speaking, Boss Wang immediately followed up, “Do you have the urge to spend more time with him?”

These words stunned her. She also noticed that her father seemed to have caught on to something, which was why he was asking these questions.

Moments later, Wang Linlin took a deep breath and slowly said, “No, I’m just curious. I’m curious as to why Chen Ming is so capable. Moreover, I’m aware that Chen Ming has a special relationship with Qin Qing. Furthermore, they work together well and can almost understand each other telepathically.”

These were her heartfelt feelings.

Chen Ming and Qin Qing complemented each other very well.

After Wang Linlin finished speaking, Boss Wang heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Wang Linlin was aware of this, it was fine.



Elsewhere, in the long corridor, the rhythmic sound of high heels hitting the ground could be heard.

At this moment, Qin Qing was walking toward Chen Ming’s office with the necklace she had bought for Wang Linlin as a birthday gift.

She did not come to Chen Ming’s office just for work. She also wanted to see what gift Chen Ming had bought for Wang Linlin.

After all, Wang Linlin’s feelings for Chen Ming were written all over her face. She had to be careful.

When she got to the office, she found Chen Ming staring at the computer screen.

The sunlight from the window was just right, reflecting his exquisite face, making Chen Ming seem particularly charming.

Qin Qing’s face was slightly red. She briefly calmed herself down, She calmed down for a moment outside before she entered the office.

“Have you chosen a birthday present?” Qin Qing asked in a seemingly casual manner. She was unconsciously clenching her fists.

“Not yet,” Chen Ming did not notice her unusual behavior. “I’m still thinking about it. I don’t know what kind of gift to give her.”

Chen Ming’s words made Qin Qing pause for a moment.

Still thinking about it?

Could it be that Chen Ming was worried about the gift? Did he already have feelings for Wang Linlin? Was that why he was hesitating on the choice of gift? Did he want to show his feelings for her through his gift?

Qin Qing’s imagination was running wild.

The scene of Chen Ming and Wang Linlin being in love with each other was playing out in her mind.

She clenched her gift box tightly, almost squashing it.

All sorts of scenes flashed through Qin Qing’s mind as she mentally perused the past interactions between Chen Ming and Wang Linlin to search for signs of affection.

However, it was all in vain.

It was not until Chen Ming raised his eyes to look at Qin Qing that she pulled herself back from her thoughts.

“Chen Ming, why are you hesitating about what kind of gift for her?” Qin Qing finally asked after a while. Her heart started to beat faster.

In the quiet office, she could even hear the sound of her heartbeat.

However, even though her heart was in turmoil, Qin Qing still maintained a calm image in front of Chen Ming. She suppressed her nervousness as she waited for Chen Ming’s answer.

Chen Ming simply told her the truth.

“Finding the right gift for the opposite sex is really difficult. I don’t know what to give either.”

“Also, she’s the daughter of our business partner. Picking the right gift is important.”

Clothes and jewelry were not suitable. He had gone back and forth several times, but he still could not find a suitable gift.

Chen Ming felt that choosing a gift was more difficult than creating energy polymer blocks and optimized batteries.

Chen Ming’s two sentences had an almost immediate effect on Qin Qing. Her nervousness and uneasiness disappeared.

‘So it was like this.’

Qin Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

She released her death grip on the gift box, and her expression returned to normal.

Chen Ming had obviously noticed her unusual behavior. He furrowed his brow and said, “Qin Qing, are you not feeling well?”

Qin Qing’s nervousness just now had made Chen Ming mistakenly think that she was not feeling well.

As expected, he was a dense fool when it came to things like this.

Qin Qing waved her hand.

“It’s okay. I feel fine now.”

She was telling the truth.

Fortunately, there was nothing between Chen Ming and Wang Linlin.

Chen Ming was relieved to hear that Qin Qing was fine.

He continued to browse the online catalog, hoping that it would give him some inspiration as to what to buy.

However, he did not seem to be satisfied with any of the items, and his hands moved even faster.

Qin Qing smiled when she saw Chen Ming browsing through the catalog.

In less than three minutes, Chen Ming had finished going through the whole catalog.

Qin Qing could tell from his expression that Chen Ming had not found a suitable gift.

She could not help but tease him, “Why are you so hesitant about a simple gift? Chen Ming, if you’re this indecisive, you won’t be able to find a girlfriend in the future.”

Although she was joking, Qin Qing could feel her ears heating up after she said this.

Seeing that Qin Qing was teasing him, Chen Ming, who was still drawing blanks, simply laughed.

“Haha, the main thing is that it’s really hard.”

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to give just any random thing.”

After he finished speaking, Chen Ming slumped into the chair. His back was supported by the soft material, which was particularly comfortable.

He simply rubbed his swollen temples and decided to think about it again.

Unexpectedly, while he was resting, he caught a glimpse of certain golden objects.

It seemed that he had found a way to get her a birthday present!
