CEO's Secret Lover
Chapter 561

After being exposed by Qian Jun, Xu Lan’s expression became even more embarrassed. She initially wanted to take the opportunity to lure Huo Jiuchen away. It would be great if she could succeed, but if she couldn’t, she could still escape.

But now, when Qian Jun said this, she seemed to have done it intentionally.

"Brother Jiabao, I’ve finished saying what I wanted to say. It’s getting late, I won’t disturb your rest any longer. I’ll go back to my room first." Lowering her head, she dejectedly turned around and left.

"It just so happens that I want to return to my room as well. Miss Xu, let me send you there." It’s not safe to dress like this in the corridor at night. " Qian Jun hurriedly said as he caught up to her and followed her out the door.

The door closed and Xu Lan walked in front. Qian Jun walked a little behind her, and seeing that her hands were tightly wrapped in his nightgown, he opened his mouth as if by accident. "This American is really afraid of heat. The cold air is so strong."

At this time, Xu Lan stopped her steps, turned around and looked at Qian Jun, "Assistant Qian, start telling me that Brother Jiajie is in a bad mood today. Can you tell me why he’s in a bad mood? I don’t think he was in a good mood these last few days in New York. Is it because things aren’t going well at work? "

"Not really." Qian Jun waved his hand. "When have you ever seen the CEO’s mood change because of work?"

"Since it’s not about work, then what’s there to be unhappy about?" At this moment, she had a bad premonition, but she hoped that her premonition was not accurate.

At this time, Qian Jun hesitated, as if he didn’t intend to directly tell her the answer.

Seeing that he wasn’t willing to speak, Xu Lan revealed a sweet smile on her face, and said to Qian Jun in a slightly spoiled manner, "Qian Te Jun, since it’s not too late, how about we go to my room and have a cup of coffee?"

When Qian Jun heard this, he also laughed. He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past ten at night.

"It’s already past 10, are you still not going to rest?" he asked deliberately.

"I’ve been staying in the hotel every day for the past few days. Besides eating and sleeping, I don’t feel sleepy at all. Of course, if Assistant Qian is tired, I won’t force his." When Xu Lan said this, she pretended to untie the straps of her nightgown, revealing her hanging pajamas.

Qian Jun’s eyes swept across her, and he already understood in his heart that she was trying to seduce him.

It seemed like she really wanted to get some information from him about the Huo family’s heirloom.

At the same time, he had something he wanted to say to her.

"In that case, I’ll be troubling you." Instead of rejecting her invitation, he agreed with a smile.

Xu Lan smiled at him and led him to her room.

After entering the room, Xu Lan invited Qian Jun to sit down while she turned around to make him some coffee.

When she finished making the coffee and brought it over, she saw Qian Jun casually flipping through a fashion magazine on the coffee table.

"Is Assistant Qian also interested in fashion?" Xu Lan sat down across from him. Her silk robe slipped off her legs, revealing her snow-white long legs, which were crossed together.

Qian Jun put down the magazine in his hand, picked up the cup of coffee and smelled it. After all, instant coffee wasn’t something he liked, he placed the cup on the coffee table again, "I’ve always been curious about why you women are so fond of famous brands and luxury goods. I thought this magazine would have an answer."

"And then? Have you found the answer? " Xu Lan asked.

"There’s no answer on the book, but I found it from you, Miss Xu." Qian Jun said with a smile.

"Oh? "Then tell me about it." Xu Lan was also smiling. She slightly raised her legs and changed her position.

"For example, Miss Xu, you can be said to have a body, a body, a face and a face. Say, if the bag you’re carrying, the clothes you’re wearing, and the jewelry you’re wearing are all those cheap street stalls, wouldn’t you have been blinded by such good external conditions?" Qian Jun looked her up and down with a flattering tone.

Although his words seemed to be unintentional, but it unintentionally pierced Xu Lan’s self-esteem.

She knew better than anyone how much of her bags, how much of her jewelry, were real and how much of it she had bought to satisfy her vanity.

Even though she was the young lady of the Tang Family, she was only a stepdaughter after all. The Tang Family’s property had nothing to do with her.

In addition, she had been with the Huo family all these years, standing by Tang Yingyue’s side. She had no job, no money, and all her food and clothing had come from Tang Yingyue.

Tang Yingyue was not a particularly generous person, so there were many times when she did not have enough money.

Being in the upper class and spending a lot of money, such as a dress, was usually one occasion, and if you wore the same dress on another occasion, you would be laughed at.

Tang Yingyue naturally wouldn’t allow anyone she brought out to be looked down upon. As a result, she spent most of her money on her clothes and didn’t have the spare to buy expensive bags, let alone jewelry.

Fortunately, she was in the upper echelons of the industry, so as long as they didn’t pay too much attention to her jewelry and bag, no one would be interested in her. Furthermore, she was brought along by Tang Yingyue, so no one would doubt that she was in the Wealthy Class.

What Qian Jun had just said had inadvertently stabbed into her weak spot, causing her to instantly feel inferior.

However, this was not the end. She then heard Qian Jun say, "However, although chasing after beauty is a woman’s nature, there are many times when the more dazzling something is, the more energy is needed to match it. Now, many women, no matter what kind of status they have, who only care about the pursuit of perfect luxury, are determined to get whatever they want. In the end, if they were lucky enough to get something, they might end up dying for the rest of their lives, and if not, would they be willing to spend the rest of their lives doing so? "

Listening to his words, Xu Lan’s heart tightened. She wasn’t sure if Qian Jun was speaking in a matter-of-fact manner, or was hinting at something.

But no matter what he meant, she had to retort, "Assistant Qian must be serious. You just like to pursue luxury goods. How did you end up spending the rest of your life there? Actually, not only women, men like to pursue perfect and luxurious things too, don’t they? Is it possible that you men are allowed to remember good things and not allowed us women to pursue what we want? "
