Chapter 39 President Qin Is Married? His Wife Is a Lady?
However, what Su Ziyue didn’t know was that these two words—Mrs. Qin—had quickly spread across the company.
That afternoon, Qin Muchen brought her out for lunch and accidentally overheard a conversation between two Yunteng employees.
“Have you seen President Qin’s wife? She’s gorgeous.”
“President Qin is married?”
“I think so. President Bai said that the woman is in President Qin’s family.”
“President Qin is married? His wife is even a lady? Oh my, President Bai must be heartbroken!”
“Drop the subject. President Qin and his wife are coming…”
“How are you, President Qin? How are you, Mrs. Qin?” greeted the two employees simultaneously. They gave a 90-degree bow, like soldiers who had stumbled across their General.
“How are you guys?” Although Su Ziyue put on a cold look, her heart was already racing inside.
She had heard everything and wanted them to continue with their conversation!
She really wanted to know why Qin Muchen’s wife could not be a lady? Furthermore, why would Bai Jingshu be heartbroken?
Qin Muchen raised his eyebrows at the two employees and asked in a gentle manner, “Have you guys had lunch?”
The looks on the two employees’ faces changed when they heard his question. They answered stutteringly, “N-No.”
Qin Muchen’s lips arched and smiled when he heard their reply. He seemed like a completely good-tempered superior. He then instructed softly, “Then, why haven’t you gone out for lunch? What if you go hungry?”
The two employees nodded when they heard his instructions. “We’ll go now…”
With that, the both of them scurried away.
Slam!
Su Ziyue lifted her head and saw that the two employees had crashed into the glass door as a result of running too fast.
Even as an onlooker, it seemed like it hurt terribly. However, the two of them fled even quicker after that, as if nothing just happened.
Su Ziyue was at a loss for words.
Curious, she turned her head toward Qin Muchen. “Are they scared of you?”
“Are they?” Qin Muchen put on a serious look. His tone seemed like he did not notice that at all.
How were they not afraid of him? She wasn’t blind.
If she was blind, then she had to admit something as well—she was indeed blind.
She was blind for marrying Qin Muchen.
When she met him at the Lumiere Jade House for the first time, he had given her a distant and mysterious vibe.
After marrying him, he was still distant and mysterious. Although he folded his sleeves to make her breakfast, she could still feel an enraged aura coming from him.
More importantly, this man was constantly setting her up and taking advantage of her.
Lustful! Pervert! Shameless!
However, she did not despise him because of that.
…
Qin Muchen then brought her to a restaurant that was near the company.
The moment they sat down, Bai Jingshu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Muchen, Miss Su, are you guys here for lunch too? If you don’t mind, let’s sit at the same table.”
As Bai Jingshu talked, he sat down and glanced at the two of them while smiling vibrantly.
Expressionless, Su Ziyue lowered her gaze. So what if I do mind? He has already sat down.
Qin Muchen took a glimpse at him and faintly knitted his brows. “Please address her as Mrs. Qin.”
“Tsk, there’s no need for that. Muchen and I have been friends for years—you wouldn’t mind if I call you Ziyue, right?”
Bai Jingshu turned his head toward Su Ziyue.
Su Ziyue was holding a glass on the table, unsure of what expression she should put on.
“Can we talk less while we’re dining?” Qin Muchen flung the menu toward him, visibly displeased.
However, Bai Jingshu did not seem to notice it as he grabbed the menu and started ordering the dishes.
…
After they finished their meal, Su Ziyue then left in a hurry; she felt strange staying at Yunteng.
That morning, she had gone to look for the lawyer by the surname of Fu, but she went off empty-handed. Hence, she still wanted to try her luck that afternoon.
Thus, after she left Yunteng, she went back to Laocheng District.
However, Qin Muchen wanted her to stay when Su Ziyue was about to leave.
“Where are you going? You’re not going to wait for me to finish work and go home together?”
Qin Muchen was standing across her, his hands tucked in his pockets. He put one of his feet half a step forward and stood upright, making a pose of disdain mixed with elegance.
Su Ziyue quickly averted her gaze and said, “No, I’ll be making a move first.”
At this moment, a cab happened to drive by, so Su Ziyue hailed the cab and went into the car immediately, giving Qin Muchen no chance of stopping her.
Qin Muchen watched the cab disappear from his sight with a look of surprise. Just then, Bai Jingshu appeared out of the blue again.
He followed Qin Muchen’s gaze but he saw nothing. Hence, he bumped Qin Muchen’s shoulders and asked, “There’s no one in sight. What are you looking at? Tsk!”
Qin Muchen turned away coldly and glared at him before walking back into the company.
Bai Jingshu followed from behind and started nagging him.
“Why are you treating Su Ziyue this way? I think she’s quite good, unlike the rumors outside…”
“She’s pretty, has a good figure…”
Qin Muchen suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head to look at him and chuckled. “I think you have too much time on your hands these days. There is finally some progress on the case I’ve been wanting to investigate; perhaps I should quit my job and focus on that instead.”
Bai Jingshu’s expression changed abruptly. “Please don’t do that. If not, I’ll give you my managerial position. Don’t quit…”
Qin Muchen couldn’t be bothered by him.
Bai Jinshu added, “To be honest, do you have feelings for Su Ziyue?”
Qin Muchen answered with his cold, leaving back.
…
Su Ziyue returned to Laocheng District and looked for Chongming Alley.
She went door to door and asked, “Hello, may I ask if there is a lawyer that goes by the surname of Fu here? He should be in his 50s or 60s’.”
Su Ziyue was helpless, but there was nothing else she could do; she could not remember anything else.
“No.”
Once again, she got another disappointing answer. Su Ziyue could only shake her head and thanked the person.
After coming out of Chongming Alley, she sat down by the roadside, sighing. She reached her hands out and subconsciously picked up a fallen leaf by the side, looking devastated and unkempt.
Was there any other way around this?
Su Ziyue still could not figure out an effective solution, so she had no choice but to return home.
After getting back home, she took a shower and snuggled on the sofa while watching television. In the end, she was woken up by the ringing of her phone.
Su Ziyue saw that Qin Muchen’s name was displayed on the screen, so she answered the call.
However, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the line. “Ziyue, there is a dinner at the company tonight. Are you coming?”
Su Ziyue hesitated for a moment before realizing that it was Bai Jingshu’s voice.
Ziyue? He’s really trying to be too friendly with me.
“Sorry, I don’t like going out at night.” She was not acquainted with those people anyway. What fun would it be hanging out with a group of people whom she was unfamiliar with?
Bai Jingshu seemed like he did not expect her to reject his invitation immediately as he added embarrassingly, “I’ve promised the company’s employees that I will make sure to invite you over. If you don’t come, I have to wear underpants and run around Yunzhou City.”
As he finished his sentence, his voice sounded more and more upset.
Su Ziyue could feel a flock of crows flying over her head as she was filled with awkwardness. How did Bai Jingshu manage to be friends with Qin Muchen for so many years?
She suddenly remembered breaking the bottle of wine at Lumiere Jade House previously; Qin Muchen must have borrowed it from Bai Jingshu.
Although Qin Muchen was a vice manager, his salary was not that high. Moreover, he had just come back to the country.
After considering his offer for a moment, Su Ziyue could only accept his invitation.
“Fine. Tell me the address.”
