Chapter 14

Qin Yan glanced at Gu He'an. Buying wedding rings—is he planning to buy two pairs, one for each, so his real wife can accompany his fake wife?

What a wicked, rotten dog!

"Then I'll trouble Secretary Lin. I'm very happy to have you accompany me."

Qin Yan thought to herself, since you want to deliver yourself to be an audience member, it would be a shame if she didn't put on a few shows!

"Serving the CEO is my duty." Lin Yan smiled and naturally opened the front passenger door. Just as she was about to sit in, she remembered something and said, "Miss Qin, I usually go on business trips with the CEO and am used to sitting in the front passenger seat. I'll let you have it today."

"No need, I'll sit in the back. No need to wear a seatbelt."

Qin Yan didn't want to sit in the dirty front passenger seat, so she opened the car door and sat in the back seat instead.

Lin Yan knew she was thick-skinned and didn't care about such details, so she also got into the car and buckled her seatbelt.

They arrived at the private custom jewelry design studio.

Qin Yan didn't look at the diamond rings, but instead found the most expensive necklace.

She deliberately asked Lin Yan, "This necklace is very beautiful, don't you think?"

Lin Yan glanced at the price—five million—and frowned in disdain. "This might be more suitable for someone older. Miss Qin is so young, you could choose something more youthful."

"Miss Lin, aren't we here to buy wedding rings? I think this ring looks quite nice."

Qin Yan didn't even look at the ring, insisting on pointing at the necklace. "But I like it so much. He'an, can you buy it for me?"

Gu He'an came here just to make Qin Yan happy. He exchanged a look with Lin Yan and agreed, "If you want it, buy it."

Lin Yan pursed her lips. Legally speaking, she and he are the real husband and wife with shared assets. What Qin Yan is using now is her money!

"That pair of earrings is also nice." Qin Yan pointed to earrings that were twice the price of the ring. Although they were a bit gaudy, they were expensive.

She had already maxed out one of Gu He'an's cards. Since Gu He'an had to pay today, he would definitely have to use another card, and that card was likely the one he gave to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan wants to use her money?

Then she'll try using Lin Yan's money first!

"These earrings don't really suit you." Lin Yan glanced at the price of the earrings, and her face sank instantly: 900,000.

"Whether they suit me or not, I'll only know after trying them on."

Suddenly hearing a strange man's deep, pleasant voice, Lin Yan looked up in astonishment. It was actually the CEO of the Lu Group.

Hearing Lu Qianchuan's deep voice, Qin Yan also looked up in surprise toward him.

He had sent her a message in the car asking if she wanted to go out for dinner tonight or cook for herself. She had replied at the time that she was busy because Gu He'an was buying her new wedding rings.

He asked her for the address, and she hadn't thought much of it at the time, so she sent it to him. She didn't expect him to rush over.

However, he wouldn't be here to expose their relationship, would he?

Thinking of this possibility, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Lu Qianchuan noticed her nervousness and turned his gaze toward Lin Yan, saying, "We meet again, Miss Lin."

"Mr. Lu, it's an honor to see you here." Hearing Lu Qianchuan take the initiative to greet her, Lin Yan was even more surprised.

The two families are competitors, so it's inevitable they attend some joint events. During these events, both sides compete, and although they meet, they have never spoken to each other voluntarily.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here?"

"To buy wedding rings." Lu Qianchuan's gaze flickered toward Qin Yan. Qin Yan caught his gaze, coughed guiltily, and warned him with her eyes.

We agreed on a secret marriage!

"Is Mr. Lu getting engaged?" Lin Yan was surprised. How come there wasn't any news about this?

"No. I'm pre-ordering a wedding ring for my future bride." Lu Qianchuan's tone was light, upright, polite, and gentlemanly. His dark eyes looked at Lin Yan again. "Miss Lin, are you single?"

Lin Yan's heart pounded like a drum. He said he was pre-ordering a ring for his future bride, and then asked if she was single.

He meant he liked her and wanted to pursue her!

But before she could answer, she was tugged by someone, and she heard Gu He'an's angry voice.

"Mr. Lu, what does it have to do with you whether my secretary is single or not? Don't you dare have any crooked ideas about her!"

Gu He'an really didn't expect to run into Lu Qianchuan, this bastard who had been called "the neighbor's kid" since childhood and had to be one step ahead of him in everything. He was actually so shameless as to use such despicable means to seduce his woman!

"And what if I did have crooked ideas?"

Lu Qianchuan glanced meaningfully at Qin Yan beside him. His wife was right here, and seeing her watch him chat with another woman without a hint of concern, he also felt that his impulsive arrival was indeed a "crooked" idea.

However, since Gu He'an made him unhappy, he definitely had to make him feel uncomfortable too!

He turned his gaze back to Lin Yan and took out a business card, handing it to her.

"I admire Miss Lin very much. May I have your contact information?"

"..." Lin Yan was shocked once again.

Because the Lu Group and the Gu Group are rivals, she had investigated this CEO of the Lu Group.

He doesn't care for women, only work. Once, a business partner tried to send him a woman, but after being taught a lesson, no one dared to take the risk again.

Rumor has it that Mr. Lu is single, has no scandals, and his social circle is exceptionally clean.

Clearly, he is not a frivolous or dissolute man; on the contrary, he is steady, reserved, dignified, and elegant. He actually took the initiative to ask if she was single.

He even bluntly said he admired her!

"..." Shen Zhuli, who was following behind Lu Qianchuan, also widened his eyes in surprise upon hearing the CEO's words.

If his memory served him correctly, he remembered the CEO's wife was named Qin Yan!

How could he dare to ask another woman if she was single right in front of his wife?

Is the CEO playing some kind of new open marriage?

"Lu Qianchuan, don't dream of poaching my people!"

Gu He'an was so angry his face turned green. He stepped forward, snatched the business card from his hand, threw it into the trash can, and warned Lu Qianchuan in a gloomy tone.

"Mr. Gu, since when did Miss Lin belong to your 'people'?" Lu Qianchuan looked down at him arrogantly, feigning confusion.

"She," Gu He'an gritted his teeth, forcing an explanation, "she is my secretary!"

"Oh, just a work relationship?" Lu Qianchuan sneered. "Someone who didn't know better would think you treat Miss Lin as your private property."

"Lu Qianchuan, you..." Gu He'an felt guilty, unsure if Lu Qianchuan knew something.

If his relationship with Lin Yan were exposed in front of Qin Yan, the share transfer would definitely fall through!

A flash of mockery crossed Lu Qianchuan's eyes. He looked at Lin Yan again and asked, "Miss Lin, is it inconvenient to tell me?"

Lin Yan's heart surged with excitement.

She had never imagined that the CEO of the Lu Group would be interested in her.

"Mr. Lu, it's not inconvenient. I am single. As for contact information," she glanced at the furious Gu He'an and said with a smile, "that won't be necessary."

Hearing her say she couldn't add him, Lu Qianchuan showed a look of disappointment, and then he walked to Qin Yan's side.

He seemed to be looking at jewelry, and his arm bumped into her.

"..." Qin Yan, who had been watching the show, swallowed hard and carefully moved a step to the side.

Although she was worried that Lu Qianchuan would expose their relationship, she felt that Lu Qianchuan deliberately flirting with Lin Yan to make Gu He'an jealous and angry was a much more brilliant and satisfying move!
