The Favored Heiress

Chapter 730: Chapter 730: Forgot to Take Birth Control Pills

That afternoon, Li Qiao set out to prepare for her journey back to the border.

As the workday drew to a close, Zong Yue knocked on the glass door of the conference room.

Li Qiao looked at her somewhat haggard complexion and frowned, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Because of the fight at the dinner party a few days ago, Xi Luo had specifically given Zong Yue two days off to go home, recuperate, and nurse her injuries.

This morning, Liu Min had completed the handover of her work and was forced to resign; though the company’s employees had their suspicions, they were unaware of the specific details.

Xi Luo also repeatedly emphasized to those few salespeople that they should not spread rumors about Zong Yue’s identity in the company, reminding them it was enough just to know she was experiencing life at the grassroots level.

After all, she was the wife of the South Sea Secretary-General, a high-ranking official’s spouse, and a prominent figure from the third generation of a renowned family, who would dare to gossip?

At that moment, standing at her desk, Zong Yue smiled and asked, “Qiaoqiao, are you free tonight? Ah Jun and I would like to invite you to dinner.”

Li Qiao eyed her dim eyes and smirked, “Did you and my big brother have a fight?”

Not wanting her to worry, Zong Yue quickly put on a forced smile, “No, he’s just annoyed that I didn’t call him when something happened, but it’ll be fine in a few days.”

Strictly speaking, they hadn’t fought.

For a man of Li Jun’s disposition, arguing was below his dignity, so he simply gave her the cold shoulder, showing his displeasure through his actions.
