The woman had curves in all the right places, especially some places that shook as she walked. Moreover, she wore a gown with a plunging neckline that was enough to make Mu Yu gulp, let alone men.
By the looks of it, this woman was an acquaintance of the wily old fox. She wanted to loosen her grip on Qin Jinhuan’s arm, but a painful pinch stopped her. She glanced down and saw that the wily old fox had his hand over the back of her hand. He was obviously the culprit behind the pinch. She glared at him in anger, but a gentle look glazed his eyes, and she felt a stab in her heart.
His gaze was too lethal.
Stop looking! Stop looking!
Mu Yu’s heartbeat quickened when the woman with the plunging neckline pointed at her and asked, “Who is this?”
“My girlfriend.”
Am I not only his date? When did I become his girlfriend?
Mu Yu was very surprised. However, the woman with the plunging neckline was beyond shocked, and her chest shook even more violently.
“Jinhuan, when did you get a girlfriend?”
Qin Jinhuan glanced coldly at her. “Am I required to report to you?”
“No, no, I’m just really surprised.” The woman gave an awkward laugh. She asked reluctantly, “Which family is she from?”
“You will know when the time comes.” Then, Qin Jinhuan ignored the woman with the plunging neckline. He pulled Mu Yu to a corner and whispered into her ears, “I have somewhere to go. Stay here and wait for me.”
Mu Yu nodded her head vigorously. She couldn’t wait for him to leave, because she was ravenous and the table next to her was filled with delicious pastries.
After he left, she looked around and figured that nobody was paying attention at her. Just as she was about to reach out, the woman with the plunging neckline smiled and walked toward her. She quickly retracted her hand.
“Hello, I am Huan’s cousin, Dong Wanqing. How do I address you?”
“Mu Yu.”
So this woman was the wily old fox’s cousin!
No wonder the wily old fox did not warm up to this woman. After all, society forbade close relatives from getting married.
Mu Yu felt pity for this cousin.
“Miss Mu, I really admire you.” Dong Wanqing gave Mu Yu a once over and scorned. “If it were me, I wouldn’t dare show up to a party as classy as this one without any makeup on.”
Dong Wanqing’s blatant sarcasm embarrassed Mu Yu and erased all the sympathy she had for her. When Mu Yu saw Qin Jinhuan walking toward her, she raised her eyebrows and said loudly in a fake, sugary voice, “Actually I don’t understand it either. Um, why would Huan prefer a country pumpkin like me over someone as beautiful and stylish as you? But Huan said that I am his true love, and I’m not allowed to leave him.”
“Was Huan drunk when he said this?” Dong Wanqing scoffed.
“Huan.” Dong Wanqing spotted Qin Jinhuan in her peripheral and panicked as she turned around. Mu Yu exchanged glances with Qin Jinhuan and faked a sad voice, as if she were wronged. “Another person just said you and I aren’t meant for each other. We might as well break up.”
Despite her poor acting skills, he did want her to put on an act. Therefore, he couldn’t blame her for thinking on her feet.
If he dared ruin her facade even just a little, she would immediately turn on her heels and leave. Worst case scenario was that the five summon cards would remain.
Qin Jinhuan saw through Mu Yu’s act and snickered. Looking at Dong Wanqing, he said in a serious tone, “Don’t break up with me, please. You are my woman, and you are perfect for me.”
Mu Yu looked helpless as she turned to Dong Wanqing and shrugged. “Look at him. I really have no choice.”
Qin Jinhuan pretended not to see through Mu Yu’s little act. He went up to her, hugged her around the waist, and spoke sweetly, “My dear, don’t ever mention breaking up again, okay?”
Dong Wanqing’s face paled.
Mu Yu could hear the threat in Qin Jinhuan’s words. Annoyed, she wanted to push him away, but he tightened his grip and whispered, his lips touching her ears, “If you don’t play along, I’m afraid I have no choice but to kiss you.”
Mu Yu was taken aback. Then, she pulled away and put her arm around his waist, pouted, and said in a coquettish manner, “Then tell me, do you love me?”
“I do. All my love is for you for the rest of my life, you silly.” Qin Jinhuan looked at her affectionately. Cupping her face, he pecked her lips.
Oh my God! My first kiss! That wily old fox!
Mu Yu jumped, but Qin Jinhuan locked her tightly in his arms.
Dong Wanqing—who didn’t detect their secret fight—could only see their lovers’ quarrel and the jealousy was driving her crazy.
Qin Jinhuan took Mu Yu’s hand and walked ‘sweetly’ out of the banquet hall.
“Hey, the show is over. Can I go home now?” Mu Yu flicked away Qin Jinhuan’s hand as soon as they left the banquet hall.
That wily old fox! How dare he steal her first kiss?!
“Give me my clothes back.”
“You think I enjoy wearing it? Hmph!” Mu Yu walked quickly to Room 8088. When he opened the door, she rushed into the room and locked the door. After changing out of the dress under the sheets, she put on her own clothes and headed for the door.
To her surprise, she opened the door to reveal the wily old fox with his arms folded across his chest. He was squinting at her with a look on his face.
An alarm went off in her heart. Mu Yu pushed him away so she could leave, but he pulled her back into his arms.
Mu Yu was scared he would make a move on her. She struggled desperately and shouted, “Hey! Let go of me! I’ll bite my tongue off and die if you don’t!”The next moment, Qin Jinhuan intended to let her go, but taunted her nevertheless. “Do you have anything else to threaten me with other than biting your tongue? Kiss me maybe?”“Bah! You’re insane! Shameless man!” Mu Yu opened the door angrily. “Are you planning to walk home?”“This is none of your business!” Mu Yu wanted to walk out of the door. However, she felt that something was wrong. She quickly turned around and walked back into the room. Qin Jinhuan was changing his clothes. He didn’t even shy away when he saw her walking back into the room. Instead, he smirked at her and said, “What is it? Miss me already?”Mu Yu didn’t dare to talk back to him. She took her bag and ran out of the hotel to her scooter. Riding as fast as she could, she managed to
Mu Yu thought she was hallucinating from the influence of alcohol. She shook her head vigorously. Then, she stared at Qin Jinhuan. “Hello, Mr. Qin.” Yin Xiaotian, who was an employee of the Qing Tian Group, hurried over to greet Qin Jinhuan. Qin Jinhuan carefully helped Mu Yu to her feet and nodded slightly at Yin Xiaotian as he explained, “Something happened at the company, that’s why I couldn’t make it in time to your wedding with Yu. My apologies.” Before Yin Xiaotian—who was in shock—could reply, he turned back to Mu Yu and scolded her softly, “You know I’ll get worried if you deliberately drank liquor as if you’re drinking water. You always do as you like.” It sounded like a scolding but underneath it was sympathy and care. The crowd turned wild again. The gaze they cast on Mu Yu had turned into envy and jealousy. “Yu? You guys…” Hu Meiling’s voice was filled with surprise.
A few days ago, Qin Jinhuan’s father, Qin Wentao, went to visit his grandfather behind Qin Jinhuan’s back. Qin Wentao took advantage of the grandfather’s delirium and forced the grandfather to change his will. When Qin Jinhuan received the news, he rushed home and saw that his poor grandfather was forced onto the table. He was so furious that he wanted to beat his inhumane father up. He would have done so if Qin Wentao hadn’t fled the scene. “Boss, the Old Master is clear-headed now. Moreover, he had brought Master Xi with him, so he wouldn’t cross the line,” Huang Bo quickly followed after Qin Jinhuan and said softly. “They have come to pay their respects to the Mistress.”Master Xi, or Qin Chengxi, was Qin Jinhuan’s half-brother. Although he was already twenty-year-old, he looked like a weak young girl of sixteen to seventeen-year-old because he was constantly falling sick from a young age. He couldn't handle external stimuli well. Everybody knew Qin Wen
Hu Meiling grabbed Mu Yu’s arm and scolded, “Stop pretending and tell me honestly. Don’t you dare tell another lie, otherwise I will immediately drown you in the toilet!” “Don’t do that. You’re scaring your daughter. Talk nicely.” Mu Ziyao ‘rescued’ his daughter from his wife’s grip. Then, he pointed at the screen of the phone and asked, “Yu, are the contents here true?”Aware that she could no longer hide, Mu Yu nodded and quickly explained, “We did stay in the hotel, but our relationship is not as complicated as what the news is suggesting. Nothing happened between us. It’s true!”“You are both single and stayed in the same room for so long. You were even drunk. When you came out of the hotel, your clothes had even been changed. Nothing happened, you said? Unless you prove to me that Young Master Qin isn’t a real man, I will never believe that nothing happened.” Hu Meiling looked at her as if she could already see through Mu Yu’s façade.
“Yu, we’re here!”Even before she reached the entrance of her neighborhood, Mu Yu could already hear her parents’ shouts. She saw them standing in front of a taxi and rode her scooter toward them, asking anxiously in a loud voice, “Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?”“Get into the car first.”Mu Ziyao helped Mu Yu park her scooter while Hu Meiling helped Mu Yu to remove her helmet. They moved quickly and stuffed Mu Yu into the car at a speed of lightning. “What the hell is going on?” Mu Yu was shocked by her parents’ nervousness. Hu Meiling didn’t respond to her daughter’s words. Instead, she told the driver, “Sir, to the airport.”“Why are we going to the airport?”Mu Ziyao said softly, “Yu, we have to leave An City immediately.” Mu Yu was shocked and nervous. “Why are we leaving An City? What is going on?”Hu Meiling looked forward and lowered her voice. “This is what the O
“What-What debt?” Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao looked at their daughter in fear. Mu Yu mumbled as she explained, “I scratched his car and owed him 100,000 for repair.”“100,000, is it?” Mu Ziyao heaved a long sigh and said with a smile. “Young Master Qin, give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”“I don’t need the money, may it be 100,000 or it’s 20,000,000.” Qin Jinhuan paused and looked at Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao, who had changed the looks on their faces. Then, he pointed at Mu Yu and continued, “I need only her.”Hu Meiling’ eyes instantly filled with fear and she quickly took an envelope from her bag and handed it to him. She begged, “Please take mercy on her and let my daughter go. I’ll pay you back with this 20,000,000.”“20,000,000 dollars?” Mu Yu’s eyes bulged. “Mom, where did you get that money from?”Mu Ziyao was ashamed. He said, “Aren’t we leaving An City? This
Fearing that Qin Xiaozhi’s men would lay their hands on her, Mu Yu quickly got to her feet. She shouted, “Don’t come over!” as she quietly whipped out her phone to call Qin Jinhuan for help. However, as soon as she took her phone out, Dong Wanqing slapped her hand and the phone fell onto the ground. At the same time, Dong Wanqing slapped her face and her face burned with pain. She had never been through this kind of misery before, had she? She felt so angry that she instinctively raised her hand to fight back, but was too slow. Qi Hao and Qi Han—Qi Xiaozhi’s twin bodyguards—caught her hands, but she raised her leg and tried to kick Dong Wanqing’s stomach. If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. But if you offend me, I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine. She always remembered what Brother Yihan had taught her. However, things didn’t go her way. Once she raised her leg, the twins saw thr
“Are you saying that I can’t?” Qin Jinhuan gave her an evil smirk and leaned toward her. “Do you want to try?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Mu Yu blushed and exclaimed. “I was talking about the disagreeable clauses here! Look at this clause!” She pointed at the agreement and continued, “I don’t have any opinion against being intimate in public, but why do we have to sleep on the same bed at night? Nobody will see where we’re sleeping at night! Don’t tell me you still need your grandpa to tuck you in at night?” He could hear the teasing in her voice. Qin Jinhuan wasn’t angry. Instead, he asked slowly, “Do you know why Grandpa changed his mind and let you stay?” “Because you wanted to leave with me. He couldn’t bear to see you leave, so he let me stay.” “No.” “No? Then why did he?”“He let you stay in order to verify if we have a real relationship, other than t
