Chapter 24: I Closed the Door, No One Will Discover Us

~8 min read 1,497 words

"I never thought that." Hearing Lin Yan belittle herself, Gu He'an denied it with a cold face.

"Then have you considered that if you make a scene about this, Qin Yan will know I'm your woman, and everything you've done before will have no value!" Lin Yan analyzed rationally with him.

Gu He'an calmed down. She was right; making a scene about this wouldn't do him any good.

"I was impulsive. Lin Yan, don't be angry, I just can't stand seeing you with other men."

Hearing his apology, Lin Yan knew he wouldn't cause a scene anymore. She turned to look at Lu Qianchuan and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, Gu always treats me like a younger sister. Seeing me not home so late, he was emotionally impulsive and made a joke, please don't mind."

"It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. Miss Lin, I'll send you home now."

"That won't trouble Mr. Lu, I'll take her back on the way." Gu He'an spoke up.

Afraid of causing a misunderstanding, Lin Yan explained again, "I live next door to Mr. Gu, so he's on the way. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu."

"It's getting late, see you next time." Lu Qianchuan was polite and distant, striding outward.

Assistant Shen, who was recording at the end, watched Lin Yan soothe Gu He'an after saying who knows what, and felt surprised and impressed.

This woman really had methods.

And looking at the current situation, this Gu He'an probably wasn't her match!

Watching Lu Qianchuan leave, he hurried to catch up and returned the phone to him.

"President, hey, where's your wife?"

"I'm going to buy her a late-night snack, and I'll take her home in a while." Lu Qianchuan took the phone; he had just asked Assistant Shen to livestream for Qin Yan to watch.

"Find someone to keep an eye on them, find some material of them being together, and also investigate this Miss Lin."

Assistant Shen nodded and looked at him with a worried gaze, "President, you drank that glass of wine, do you have any discomfort?"

After the president drank that glass of wine, his complexion wasn't good. Later, he went upstairs to rest, arranged for him to investigate, cut off the surveillance on the third floor of the hotel, and also had him wait for Gu He'an to come over, leading his wife upstairs in front of him.

He didn't quite understand the president's intention, but he was very worried about the bad side effects of those drugs.

"I didn't drink that glass of wine."

"Ah?" Assistant Shen stared at him in shock, "You, you were faking it?"

Your acting skills were too good!

"The waiter who changed my wine glass had too many suspicious points, so I secretly swapped the wine glasses. I drank a few glasses of wine, which went to my head, so my face turning red didn't count as faking it." Lu Qianchuan explained.

Assistant Shen felt impressed in his heart; sure enough, he was a big shot who had experienced big scenes, easily dealing with the small tricks designed by villains.

"Since you're fine, calling your wife over was to deliberately anger Gu He'an? You're truly high!"

Lu Qianchuan swept him with a cold gaze; he called his wife over, but it wasn't for Gu He'an.

He just wanted to test his wife's attitude toward Gu He'an.

His wife had emotions toward Gu He'an, but not many.

It could be considered not letting his hard work go to waste.

"Are you done talking? You should go do your work. The person who drugged me this time, go contact the organizer; it's time for them to give me an explanation!" Lu Qianchuan closed the car door and started the car to leave.

On the other side, Gu He'an took Lin Yan to the parking lot.

He opened the back door and pushed Lin Yan in, kissing her while his hand reached into her clothes to check.

Lin Yan grabbed his hand, "This is the parking lot, what if we get discovered?"

"I closed the door, no one will discover us."

Gu He'an lifted her camisole dress to check that it was dry inside, but then heard Lin Yan's crying. He stopped his movements in shock.

Lin Yan knew this man was suspicious and still had doubts in his heart, but she had to put on a more innocent posture.

She slapped his hand away and cried, "I changed my clothes and dressed up today, originally wanting to give you a surprise, but I received a call from Lu Qianchuan's assistant and had no choice but to come over to cooperate with the investigation. But you, not only didn't believe me, but used such a rude way to humiliate me!

You're entangled with Qin Yan, she causes scenes at the company, I become a mistress in the eyes of others, and in your eyes, I'm also that kind of promiscuous woman. Is there really any need for this marriage to continue?"

"Sorry, it's my fault." Gu He'an wiped her tears.

Lin Yan wiped her own tears and turned away from him in anger.

She wasn't a little girl who didn't understand anything. The Lu Group president suddenly showing her favor and expressing his intention to pursue her might be to provoke Gu He'an.

So she deliberately used Jiang Tong to test the waters and proposed the opportunity to help her friend find a job to Lu Qianchuan to test his attitude.

She hadn't expected him to really agree and even invite her to attend the banquet, announcing her as his female companion for the night to outsiders.

Although he was always cold to people, he drank that glass of wine, and clearly his body was very uncomfortable, yet he solved it himself in the washroom without touching her.

It must be that he wanted to respect her, cherish her, and didn't want to be controlled by drugs and hurt her.

Such a charming man—compared to him, Gu He'an was a bit weaker.

"Sorry, I was impulsive."

Gu He'an hugged her guiltily, "I saw a woman whose back looked very much like Qin Yan entering Lu Qianchuan's room, and thought it was her betraying me, which is why I was so angry."

Listening to Gu He'an's explanation, Lin Yan found it even more ridiculous.

He made up a reason, but didn't use his brain? Did he think she was as easy to fool as that fool Qin Yan?

Qin Yan could enter Lu Qianchuan's room?

She, Qin Yan, a country girl from a small family who wasn't wanted by her parents, how could she come into contact with a noble young master like Lu Qianchuan!

Besides, that fool Qin Yan, hadn't she sacrificed enough for him?

To cure his illness, she quit her job as a doctor and served him day and night like a maid, losing herself because she loved him, and even wanted to give him the Gu Corporation shares in her hands.

He actually suspected she would have entanglements with other men.

She mocked in her heart and deliberately said, "If she hooked up with another man, wouldn't that be a good thing for you? You could force her to give you the shares and take the opportunity to get rid of her."

"..." Gu He'an pursed his lips and let her go.

No, he hadn't thought about getting rid of Qin Yan.

Although he gave Qin Yan a fake marriage certificate, in his heart, Qin Yan was also his woman.

This time he first saw a woman who looked very much like Qin Yan, and then saw Lin Yan. It must be that bastard Lu Qianchuan, who deliberately designed a conspiracy to provoke him, just to make him lose control and get angry.

That way he would become a laughingstock for others.

Lu Qianchuan, you beast, I will definitely not let you off!

The next day, when Qin Yan went to the company, she was blocked by Gu He'an, who asked where she went last night.

Qin Yan met his gaze calmly, "I went to a friend's house. Her house is close to the company, so it's convenient for work."

Gu He'an thought of Tang Yun, whom he met at the hospital last time, and furrowed his brows slightly, "Moving in to live with me isn't far either, you can commute with me every day."

Qin Yan laughed and glanced at her watch, "Work is important now, isn't that what you always said before? I think you're right, I'll listen to you! Let's wait until we hold the wedding to live together, it'll have a sense of ritual!"

"..." Gu He'an was choked, but he wanted to get her to sign the contract as soon as possible, so he coaxed her, "Qin Yan, there have always been things delaying our wedding night, don't you feel it's a pity? If we lived together, no one would disturb us."
