Chapter 30: Tossing Around Like This Will Cause Kidney Deficiency!

Qin Yan couldn't endure it anymore, kicked the man on her body, and got up, wanting to hang up the phone.

But the man took the phone first and raised his eyebrows at her in provocation.

"..."

Qin Yan watched the man raise his sword-like brows; it was simply his fingertips plucking her blood vessels, her heart jumping up with a *thump* and then falling down violently.

This man's looks were truly top-tier.

However, she still kept a bit of reason. Now was not the time to tear her face with Gu He'an.

She knelt and got up, pecked the man's lips, and then reached out to snatch the phone.

The man, as if granting a favor, only then returned the phone to her.

Qin Yan said to the

She hung up the phone, but the man snatched it away again. After he blocked the number, he turned the phone off.

Tsk.

"My headache was all caused by his noise. Blocking him makes the world quiet."

Watching him put the phone back on the nightstand, Qin Yan laughed in anger. His current roguish appearance was truly like a different person compared to the serious, ascetic look he had off the bed.

Was he blaming Gu He'an for interrupting his good time?

"It's quiet now, time to sleep!" She grabbed the quilt, wanting to lie down.

"The game hasn't started yet."

Lu Qianchuan gripped her waist, not letting her leave. His hand reached inside her pajamas, moved up from her back, and cupped the back of her neck as he kissed her.

Qin Yan didn't move, her eyes staring straight at him. It wasn't until the man pressed against her lips that her eyes, like a calm lake, had a stone thrown into them, splashing ripples.

Ripples spread in all directions, impacting her blood vessels and stirring up waves of heat.

"Mr. Lu, it's very late."

"Mm."

"Tossing about like this will lead to kidney deficiency!"

"..."

Lu Qianchuan would use his actions to prove that his kidneys were perfectly fine!

The next day, on her way to work, Qin Yan finally remembered the matter of finding a spokesperson.

She turned her head to look at Lu Qianchuan, who was driving, and asked if the Lu Corporation was also planning to find Su Jing to endorse their new product.

"Su Jing is just a candidate. The Planning Department has come up with several proposals; there will be different strategies for different spokespeople. Of course, Su Jing is a relatively mature artist, so the possibility of choosing him is higher." Lu Qianchuan didn't hide it.

Qin Yan asked curiously, "What is the base price for the endorsement fee offered by your Lu Corporation?"

"..." This involved company internal secrets.

Meeting the man's gaze, Qin Yan thought for a few seconds with slow reactions before realizing she had asked a somewhat inappropriate question.

She explained, "I didn't mean anything else. Over at the Gu Corporation, Su Jing wants twenty million, but his agent wants to double it, and she's even using the Lu Corporation to suppress the Gu Corporation to increase his value."

Lu Qianchuan asked in return, "So?"

"I wanted to probe the market." Since the two companies were competitors, her saying this was indeed a bit inappropriate. "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself. Don't mind me."

Lu Qianchuan said, "We haven't decided whether to invite him yet, so I don't know the specific figures. I'll notify you when there's a result."

"No need, no need."

Hearing his sincere tone, Qin Yan felt a bit embarrassed instead.

It was she who had broken the taboo and asked what shouldn't have been asked; if she were to go and ask him for data, that would be a bit shameless.

Just as she arrived at the Gu Corporation, unsurprisingly, she was caught by Gu He'an and forcibly dragged to the top floor.

"Qin Yan, since we got our marriage certificate, you have challenged my patience time and time again. Is there something you're hiding from me?" Gu He'an questioned.

Qin Yan looked at him. If she didn't know her marriage certificate was fake, and that she had transferred her shares to him only to be abandoned by his cold violence, would she also be hysterically asking him why?

They had clearly gotten along very comfortably before; when the two of them hugged, his eyes had held her.

But ever since Lin Yan returned to the country, his attitude toward her had become increasingly cold and perfunctory.

She didn't even dare to imagine how sad she would be after she truly transferred the shares to him and was then despised and driven away by him.

Fortunately, she knew the marriage certificate was fake; she had saved herself and had not fallen into that embarrassing and wretched situation.

She opened her mouth to ask, "Aren't you going to talk to me about your sister's matter? Do you understand the cause and effect?"

"Sanshan just bumped into you by accident, and you splashed a whole body of paint on her, causing her to have an allergic reaction and be hospitalized, almost endangering her life. Qin Yan, you are a doctor too, how can you be so lacking in judgment!" Gu He'an scolded.

"Judgment?"

Qin Yan felt as if she had heard a joke. She looked up at the sky; there were some dark clouds today, and the cold wind blowing made her shiver.

It was precisely because she loved him and wanted to build a new home with him that she had retreated time and time again, which was why he had lost his sense of judgment!

"It was your sister who provoked me first. As for judgment, since you don't teach her, I will!"

She turned and walked away.

"Qin Yan, I'm just asking you to go and say sorry." Gu He'an blocked her.

In the past, she had always been very obedient. Sanshan was a bit spoiled, and the two would argue a few times, but it was always Qin Yan who bowed her head first.

There was a sense of loss of control that suddenly made him feel uneasy.

"Qin Yan, blocking me, ignoring me, and now losing your temper at me—are you using this way to blame me for not having our wedding night and neglecting you, is that it?"

"..." Qin Yan was choked up.

All the anger in her chest was stuck in her throat, neither up nor down; it really felt like a stinging pain of a fishbone stuck in her throat.

"Work pressure has been a bit high lately. You also know that since my father got sick and I took over the Gu Corporation, that group of people on the board of directors hasn't been convinced by me. I'm working desperately, isn't it just to stabilize the situation and give you a better future?"

Gu He'an softened his tone and took another step toward her. "If you don't want to apologize, then forget it. I'll go talk to Sanshan. From now on, don't block me over such trivial matters."

"We'll see how you behave."

She shook off his hand and turned to go downstairs.

Gu He'an frowned, watching her back. The way she looked at him now lacked the warmth and eagerness of before, which made him very uncomfortable.

It was as if he had lost something important, which stirred up a sense of irritability in his heart.

Could getting a marriage certificate really change a person's temperament so drastically?

Ring, ring, ring.

His phone rang. He pulled back his emotions, pressed answer, and after hearing what the other person said, his face darkened.

Qin Yan went downstairs and met Xu Lan halfway.

Xu Lan stopped her and said, "News came from Su Jing's side saying that Miss Gu is his fan and that he is very angry because you bullied her. But if you apologize to the eldest Miss Gu, he will lower his price by ten million, and you can sign the contract for thirty million."

Qin Yan was surprised and let out a scoff. "Is doing business this casual?"

Xu Lan looked at her as if she were a fool and explained, "Miss Gu likes Su Jing; she is his most loyal fan. This time, Su Jing is doing this to vent for the eldest Miss Gu. These two are likely going to fall in love; you might become family in the future."

Seeing her gloating expression, Qin Yan couldn't be bothered to argue. "Is there anything else?"

Seeing her indifferent expression, Xu Lan probed again, "One apology can save the company ten million. Minister Qin, for the sake of the company, you should go."

Qin Yan nodded to show she understood, but she didn't accept it.

She turned and left the office, returning to the Planning Department.

She sat down, drank a glass of water, and reviewed the introduction of the new product. When it was lunchtime, she got up to go eat, but was stopped by her assistant.

"Something happened, Minister Qin. Someone edited the video of you splashing Miss Gu and posted it online!"
