When he saw Qiao Xu frowning impatiently and preparing to leave, he quickly stopped her and blurted out, "There's a business cocktail party tomorrow night; come as my female companion."
As soon as those words came out, he saw Qiao Xu looking at him with a strange expression, as if she were looking at an alien.
Feeling uneasy under her gaze, his eyes, which should have been full of righteous indignation, were inexplicably tinged with a hint of guilt.
In Qiao Xu's memory, Lu Moqing's female companion at banquets had always been his sister, Lu Xintong because he had never acknowledged her as his wife and thus naturally wouldn't let her appear as his female companion at the banquets.
Back then, Qiao Xu only wanted to be with Lu Moqing for the rest of her life, and this status didn't matter at all.
However, over time, she gradually realized that staying with Lu Moqing was much more difficult than obtaining the title of Madam Lu.
