Chapter 18: Just Acting, Sorry for the Trouble, Mr. Lu

~8 min read 1,599 words

Hearing Gu He'an wanting his wife to go live with him, Lu Qianchuan wanted to hang up the phone.

But he was stopped by Qin Yan grabbing his wrist.

Qin Yan said, "Gu He'an, I'm busy too. I have things to do tonight and can't go live with you."

"What do you mean, Qin Yan? Didn't you want to live with me before? Now that I'm taking the initiative to suggest you move over, you're throwing a tantrum again. You're really spoiled by my favor!"

Listening to his complaints and warnings, Qin Yan let out a laugh, "Just because of one sentence, you think I'm arrogant? Then I have even more arrogant things!"

Qin Yan took action and hung up the phone.

The screen was still lit, and then she watched Lu Qianchuan tap on the call history and block Gu He'an's number.

"..." Qin Yan stared at him.

This living ancestor—she was just pretending to be angry to divert the topic of living with him, but she never thought about blocking the person!

"Since you want to be angry, you should put on a posture." Lu Qianchuan's handsome face was calm, and he added, "Mrs. Lu, legally speaking, your husband is me, right?"

"Yes."

Qin Yan wanted to take her phone back, but was avoided by the man. She watched as he found his own number in the call history and changed the note to *Dear Husband*.

She looked at him strangely.

Lu Qianchuan asked in return, "Isn't it?"

Qin Yan was helpless and put on a fake smile, "Can you return the phone to me?"

Lu Qianchuan still shook his head and switched to another topic, "Where is the wedding ring I gave you?"

"..."

He gave her the ring in the elevator; did that count as giving?

That was a forced shove!

Qin Yan got up to find the ring in her bag and said, "It's not convenient to wear it now, let's wait for later."

"Not convenient to wear on your finger, is it convenient to wear on your body?" Lu Qianchuan asked.

"It's not convenient to wear on my finger."

"Then it's convenient to wear on your body." Lu Qianchuan stood up, took a silver chain off his own neck, threaded the ring onto it, and helped her put it on.

"..." Qin Yan realized belatedly that this man was setting a trap for her!

She touched the silver chain; although it wasn't valuable, it looked like he had worn it for many years, and it must be of extraordinary significance to him. She wanted to refuse, but the man didn't give her the chance.

She looked at him in surprise.

This man had an extremely aggressive face, but at this moment, as he lowered his eyes to put the necklace on her, perhaps it was an illusion of the light, but she actually felt he was gentle enough to put her at ease.

However, in a marriage without feelings, what was the point of keeping a ring without any emotional attachment on her body?

The next day, Qin Yan's cheek swelling had gone down. Lu Qianchuan didn't want her to squeeze onto the subway and drove her directly to the Gu Corporation.

At a distance from the Gu Corporation, Qin Yan asked him to stop, saying she could get off there so no one would discover their relationship.

Lu Qianchuan's slender fingers gripped the leather steering wheel tightly, and he raised an eyebrow at her, "Am I that unpresentable?"

"Just acting, sorry for the trouble, Mr. Lu." Qin Yan smiled ingratiatingly.

Lu Qianchuan was bewitched by her smile and pulled the car over to the side.

Watching the woman get out of the car and wave goodbye to her, his gaze followed her figure.

Since she wouldn't make the identity of Qin Yan's husband public, he would find a way himself!

As soon as Qin Yan walked into the company, she saw Lin Yan standing at the front desk, holding a large bouquet of roses, staring at the card in her hand with a shy face.

The receptionist asked curiously, "Miss Lin, did your boyfriend send these flowers? How romantic!"

Lin Yan smiled without answering. She turned around holding the flowers, met Qin Yan's gaze, and smilingly pulled out a rose and handed it to her.

"Miss Qin, here's one for you. I hope you have a good mood. I don't know what flowers you like, but next time I'll remind the president to send you some too."

Qin Yan heard her provocation and the implication that these flowers might have been sent by Gu He'an, but Qin Yan didn't care at all.

Now that she held Gu He'an's card, five million—let alone buying flowers, she could buy a building!

She took a step back, "Sorry, I'm allergic to pollen. Since they were sent to Secretary Lin, you should keep them yourself."

"What a pity, such beautiful flowers, and Miss Qin can't enjoy them." She hugged the flowers and turned to leave.

Listening to her provocation and showing off, Qin Yan thought, Gu He'an actually dared to send her flowers so openly?

She turned and went to the Planning Department. As soon as she sat down, she heard a few female colleagues gathered together discussing the flowers Lin Yan had received.

"Before, there were rumors that Secretary Lin was the president's mistress, but now it seems that's going to be slapped down! The receptionist said she peeked at the card in the flowers, and the signature on the card only wrote 'Lu'. Could Secretary Lin's boyfriend have the surname Lu? I wonder which young master of the Lu family it is."

"..." Qin Yan paused.

Surname Lu.

Lu Qianchuan?

Was he really planning to pursue Lin Yan?

"Qin Yan, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and brew me a cup of coffee!" a colleague suddenly shouted at her.

Qin Yan came back to her senses, frowned slightly, brewed the coffee, and brought it over. The colleague threw a file at her with a straight face and said, "Copy this file later, then go clean the conference room. You're doing the meeting minutes today."

"Meeting minutes, how should I do them? Is there a template?"

She didn't understand the work content and process very well yet, so she asked earnestly.

Another colleague glanced at her with disdain, her tone sarcastic, "You don't even understand this? Elementary school students just write down what they hear. Such a simple thing, what template do you need!"

"..." Qin Yan took a deep breath, didn't argue with her, and went to ask others.

But everyone else gave her cold sarcasm, and they even made her order lunch at noon without telling her their preferences. When she bought the lunch with great effort, not only did they not give her money, but they also lectured her.

Everyone in the department was using various methods to torment her.

This was unbearable!

She went to brew coffee, put a whole bag of sugar into the cup, and brought it to Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong took a sip, was choked by the sweetness, spat it all out, and her face turned gloomy.

"You deliberately harmed me, Qin Yan! Such a vicious heart, get out, get out of here!"

Qin Yan walked out of the office smoothly and returned to her desk, where she heard Sister Sun asking, "Qin Yan, this Minister Jiang told you to get out, are you, are you still going to attend the meeting?"

"She told me to get out, so I got out of her office. Is there a problem?" Qin Yan asked in return.

"No." Sister Sun was frightened by her expression and didn't dare to refute for a moment.

In the afternoon meeting, Jiang Tong saw that Qin Yan was still there, and her face immediately turned ugly. Halfway through the meeting, she checked her meeting minutes, saw that the content was messy, and threw a tantrum on the spot, scolding her for her poor handwriting and lack of logic in the content.

If it weren't for relying on the president, with her ability, she wouldn't be qualified to enter the Planning Department at all.

Coming through the back door to the Planning Department without humbly learning, but delaying others' work—the Planning Department really couldn't keep her, so she told her to get out.

Qin Yan looked at her calmly, without moving.

Jiang Tong was furious, "Are you deaf? Can't you understand human speech? Trash should stay in the trash heap, don't stay here and disgust me!"

Qin Yan remained composed and asked in return, "With Minister Jiang's quality, how did you become this person in charge?"

"Qin Yan, you third-rate goods, what qualification do you have to mock me?"

Jiang Tong walked in front of her and said arrogantly, "Feeling aggrieved, and want to use that marriage certificate of yours to show off that you're the president's wife? Your marriage certificate hasn't even been opened yet, and I don't know if it's real or fake inside. Why don't you open it and let me see!"

Before, when she saw Gu He'an bring flowers to the Planning Department, she had doubts and didn't dare to openly make things difficult for Qin Yan, but today she received a call from Gu He'an, and her doubts immediately vanished.

Once Qin Yan took out that marriage certificate, she would definitely tear it to shreds and throw it in her face to humiliate her properly.

A bitch who used a fake marriage certificate to swindle in the company!
