Chapter 15

Lu Qianchuan saw the woman move toward Gu He'an, his dark, cold eyes narrowing with a touch of irritation.

"Looking back and forth, I still think these earrings suit Miss Lin quite well. Would you like to try them on?"

He pointed to the 900,000-yuan earrings that Qin Yan had previously selected.

Lin Yan heard his implication that he wanted to give them to her. She stared at the earrings, her eyes instantly lighting up, thinking they were incomparably dazzling.

Giving such a valuable gift upon their first meeting—if this isn't liking someone, what is?

But noticing Gu He'an glaring at her gloomily, she waved her hand with feigned modesty.

"This is too valuable, Mr. Lu. It's not appropriate."

"You'll only know if they're appropriate once you put them on." Lu Qianchuan pushed the earrings toward her.

Seeing the selected earrings being taken away, Qin Yan remembered that morning when the man put earrings on her.

Is this his routine for coaxing women?

But with his face, plus a little effort, there probably isn't a woman who could refuse him.

She saw that Lin Yan's face was blooming with joy!

"Since Mr. Lu insists, I suppose I have no choice but to try them."

Lin Yan stared at the earrings, looking somewhat helpless, and put them on, her heart leaping with joy.

This man's taste is indeed good.

Afterward, Lu Qianchuan took out his card, but Gu He'an spoke first, "Since you like them, I'll buy them for you."

Gu He'an saw his woman wearing earrings given by another man, and his face turned black with anger.

He stepped forward, handed his card to the staff, and sneered provocatively at Lu Qianchuan, "Lu Qianchuan, my employee doesn't need your concern!"

Lu Qianchuan didn't even give him a glance. He turned and handed his own card to Shen Zhuli behind him, whispering a few words in his ear.

Shen Zhuli gave the two women a strange look and turned to leave.

"Mr. Lu has excellent taste. I really like these earrings."

Lin Yan noticed Shen Zhuli looking at her and felt even more excited.

Having two outstanding men scramble to spend money on her instantly inflated her vanity.

There isn't a woman who doesn't like the feeling of being held in the palm of someone's hand.

"I'm glad you like them."

Lu Qianchuan's expression was indifferent. Only then did he look at Qin Yan, but Qin Yan didn't want to pay him any mind; she was glancing at Gu He'an.

Qin Yan didn't care what Lu Qianchuan was up to, but since her nominal husband, Gu He'an, was spending so much money on another woman, it was time for her to act!

"He'an, how could you block Miss Lin's romantic luck?" Qin Yan feigned reproach.

A flash of unnaturalness crossed Gu He'an's eyes. He whispered an explanation, "Lu Qianchuan and I are mortal enemies. He's showing favor to Secretary Lin, so he must have ulterior motives. How could I let him succeed?

Besides, my parents have always been very fond of Lin Yan. I should be concerned about her personal affairs and not let her become a tool for men to scheme with!"

"But..."

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to be friends with Lin Yan? It's just a small gift for a friend. Your husband has money." Gu He'an interrupted her questioning, looking at her affectionately.

A small gift, 900,000?

Qin Yan thought to herself, you dog, you aren't my husband.

My husband is right in front of you!

"The earrings I just picked out were given to Miss Lin, so I'll have to choose something else."

"Whatever you want to buy, I'll buy it for you."

Seeing that she stopped pursuing the matter, Gu He'an breathed a sigh of relief. He looked coldly at Lu Qianchuan on the other side, feeling guarded, wondering what other tricks he might play.

Qin Yan continued to look at the jewelry in the display case. Although there weren't many samples here, each piece was unique, so the prices were much higher.

Since he has money, she won't go easy on him!

Suddenly, her phone pinged a dozen times.

She tapped to check it; it was a message from Lu Qianchuan.

"..."

She glanced at the tall man in front with a complex expression.

We agreed on a secret marriage, Lu Qianchuan, can you please restrain yourself!

The phone pinged again. She gritted her teeth, smiled, and asked the staff where the restroom was.

Walking to the restroom and closing the door, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Opening the message, it was several pictures of wedding ring sets.

【Mrs. Lu, since you're here, pick a pair of our wedding rings.】

Qin Yan laughed in anger.

This man is picking wedding rings for her, yet he gave the earrings she picked to another woman?

【Mr. Lu, the ones I picked might not suit me. You can just decide on your own.】

Seeing the message, how could Lu Qianchuan not realize that this woman was mocking the act he was putting on and that he had annoyed her?

He continued to send messages.

Qin Yan saw a string of numbers sent by the other party and sent three question marks in confusion.

【My bank card and password. Mrs. Lu, if you want to deal with Gu He'an, just making him spend money isn't satisfying enough. Don't you want to see him dumped by a woman and crying his eyes out?】

Qin Yan did indeed want to see that.

【Is Mr. Lu trying to help me, entering the game yourself, or do you have other plans?】

【Just playing along. Everything is about interests. Aren't we in a symbiotic relationship of interests now?】

"..." Wasn't this the explanation she gave him?

She didn't expect this boomerang to fly back.

She checked the ring pictures, chose a pair, and sent the picture to the man. Just as she walked out of the washroom, she saw Lu Qianchuan coming out of the men's restroom. Her footsteps paused, then she calmly walked to the sink to wash her hands.

This was a public washroom, shared by men and women.

Qin Yan pretended not to know the man, walked to the other side of him to pull out a paper towel to dry her hands, and when she threw the paper towel into the trash can, she bumped into the man's arm and turned to leave.

She wanted to use this method to warn him not to play any more tricks; they had agreed on a secret marriage!

Lu Qianchuan stood quietly, watching her series of actions in the mirror. It was truly cute.

He reached out, grabbed her wrist, pulled her in front of him, held her chin, and kissed her.

"...!" Qin Yan didn't expect him to be so bold and looked nervously toward the door.

Lu Qianchuan let her go, licked his lower lip as if still wanting more, and whispered, "We're a married couple with a certificate, doing a little something isn't too much, is it?"

"Let go!" Qin Yan pushed him away. "Can't you wait until we get back? Mr. Lu, we agreed on a secret marriage."

Lu Qianchuan spread his hands innocently, "You bumped into me first, I just bumped back."

"Then should I thank you for not taking off your clothes before bumping into me?" Qin Yan laughed in anger.

Lu Qianchuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly thinking over the situation she described.

"The soundproofing here isn't great. If you want to, I can cooperate."

"..." Qin Yan blushed and raised her hand in a gesture telling him to shut up.

She turned and went out, only to see Lin Yan and Gu He'an standing together talking. Lin Yan had already taken off the earrings, and the two seemed to be having an unpleasant time; Gu He'an's expression was very ugly.

Seeing her come over, Gu He'an restrained his emotions and walked toward her.

"Qin Yan, come pick a ring."

Qin Yan nodded and walked over to look at the diamond rings displayed on the table. There were many styles, some of which Lu Qianchuan had sent her, but not the pair she had chosen.

She wouldn't wear the wedding ring Gu He'an bought her anyway, so she just picked the most expensive one.

Gu He'an paid and was just about to leave when he saw Lu Qianchuan coming over. He instantly acted as if facing a great enemy, blocking in front of Lin Yan.

Lu Qianchuan didn't stop his pace. After entering the elevator with Shen Zhuli, he looked at Lin Yan and asked.

"Miss Lin, aren't you coming in?"

"I'm coming, thank you Mr. Lu." Lin Yan suppressed the joy in her heart, bypassed Gu He'an, and walked into the elevator.

Gu He'an wanted to stop her, but saw Qin Yan also walk into the elevator. With him left standing outside alone, he had no choice but to walk in, but he stood beside Lin Yan, trying to block Lu Qianchuan's line of sight.

Qin Yan was squeezed backward by him. She took a step back, crossed her arms, and looked coldly at Gu He'an.

He wasn't even trying to hide it for Lin Yan's sake anymore.

Suddenly, her back was patted. Her expression froze, and she straightened her back.

Shen Zhuli, standing in the very corner, watched his CEO walk a step toward Qin Yan, place his hand on her back, move his large hand down bit by bit to her buttocks, and then playfully hold her hand before pretending to stick his hand into his pocket.

"...!!!"

Shen Zhuli felt his eyes were dirty.

CEO, aren't you trying to pursue that Miss Lin?

Now you're actually molesting this Miss Qin!

When did you develop a habit of having illicit relationships!
