Chapter 35

Qin Yan watched Lu Qianchuan walk over and swallowed nervously.

She was very afraid that Lu Qianchuan would just come out and say, "Qin Yan is my wife."

She dragged Gu He'an, wanting to escape. "I'm a bit cold, let's get in the car first."

"I saw online that someone was following you and even attacked you. Are you hurt?" Gu He'an held her face, then grabbed her arm and lifted it, examining her whole body. Only after confirming she wasn't injured did he let her go.

But suddenly, he heard someone calling him.

He turned his head in confusion, saw Lu Qianchuan, and his expression sank instantly.

"Mr. Gu, the slap on your face looks really beautiful!"

Lu Qianchuan walked in front of the two, coldly eyeing Qin Yan's hand holding Gu He'an's, his indifferent gaze moving upward to the side of Gu He'an's face.

Gu He'an clenched his teeth; the red mark from the slap Qin Yan had given him hadn't completely faded.

"Mr. Lu, as a single dog, you wouldn't understand. This is the flirtation between me and my wife. The harder she hits, the better our relationship is." Gu He'an raised his chin and revealed a bit of sarcasm. "You came to the police station, did some trouble happen? Tell us and let us be happy."

"..." Qin Yan awkwardly raised her hand to support her forehead.

Lu Qianchuan looked at Qin Yan, who wanted to hide, and his eyes grew even colder.

Their relationship is good, heh.

"There is indeed some trouble." He took a step forward, his handsome face cold and stern. "I received news that Miss Lin's brother is looking for her and wants to take her away. I took my friends from the police station to play the hero saving the beauty. You tell me, will Miss Lin be moved by me, and then..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Gu He'an could guess his meaning.

This insidious and cunning beast would definitely make Lin Yan offer herself to him!

He glared at Lu Qianchuan viciously and issued a warning, "You'd better not have any designs on her, Lu Qianchuan!"

"Heh," Lu Qianchuan provoked, looked at Qin Yan again, and said, "When I get married, I will definitely send you an invitation!"

Gu He'an watched him turn and enter the police station, clenching his teeth. Worried about Lin Yan in his heart, he wanted to call her, but when he turned his head, he met Qin Yan's probing gaze.

"You, care a lot about Secretary Lin?" Qin Yan asked a question she already knew the answer to.

"She is my friend and also my secretary. Isn't it normal for me to be worried if she encounters trouble?" Gu He'an explained seriously.

Afraid she would suspect their relationship, he explained further, "Lin Yan's brother gambles. The Lin family's business was bankrupted by him, and the Lin family also took on huge debts. Lin Yan's brother ran away. After Lin Yan paid off the debts, her brother appeared again, forcing her to marry to get a bride price. I am worried that her brother will harm her again."

Qin Yan stared at him scrutinizingly. After the Lin family went bankrupt, where did Lin Yan get the money to pay off the debts?

Since he knew the Lin family was a mess, if it wasn't true love, how could he have registered for marriage with Lin Yan?

"Then Secretary Lin is quite miserable. You must help her. Then you should go find her quickly," she said considerately.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Gu He'an held her hand, feeling the chill on her hand, and rubbed it in his hands. "I also heard from my mother that you and Sanshan had another conflict. Later, you accompany me back to the Gu family and explain it to them."

Qin Yan pulled her hand back, wrinkled her face, and said deliberately, "If you don't go find Secretary Lin, and that Mr. Lu takes the initiative to help Secretary Lin and steals Secretary Lin's heart, that won't be good. I can't help you, so I won't go with you."

Gu He'an looked at the police station entrance with trepidation; he was indeed worried that Lu Qianchuan would strike first.

"Then after I handle Lin Yan's matter, I will come find you. You take me off your blacklist."

Qin Yan nodded perfunctorily. Gu He'an then hurriedly strode to his car, started it, and left.

Qin Yan watched his car drive away. She shook her clothes, as if she had been contaminated by something dirty, trying to shake it off.

After waiting for a while, she finally saw Lu Qianchuan come out of the police station, and she waved at him with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, how did things go? Are you really going to take a friend to find Lin Yan? Then I'll go watch the show with you."

"There's no show to watch. Mentioning Lin Yan was just an excuse to lure him away." Lu Qianchuan said, observing her expression. "You knew about their relationship long ago?"

Qin Yan let out a bitter laugh. "I only found out the day I got the fake marriage certificate."

"..." Registering for marriage with the man she loved, she thought it was the beginning of happiness, but she didn't expect it to be the beginning of betrayal.

This must have been a huge blow to her.

Lu Qianchuan saw that although she covered it up well, there was still sadness in her eyes.

His tone softened a bit, and he changed the subject. "Let's go get your clothes."

After the two got in the car, Qin Yan wanted to thank him for not revealing their relationship directly, so she spoke first. "I didn't expect Gu He'an to come, it made things a bit awkward."

Since she brought up the topic, Lu Qianchuan twitched his lips and said, "Oh, my wife has special flirtations with other men, and I didn't even know."

"..." Qin Yan didn't expect him to use this sentence to tease her. She was instantly torn between laughter and tears and explained again, "He was talking nonsense, trying to save face for himself. We even fought; there's no such thing as affection, let alone flirtation."

"Then I'll study it."

Lu Qianchuan leaned close to her, near the tip of her nose, his breath close to her cheek. He turned his head and gently pressed against her lips. Confirming she wasn't resisting, he took her lower lip into his mouth.

"... Wait." Qin Yan came to her senses and backed away, dodging his kiss.

Messing around in bed, kissing and hugging, that is indeed flirtation.

But in daily life, this kind of intimacy made her feel strange and unnatural.

After all, they weren't a real couple with feelings. Wouldn't he find it strange to suddenly kiss?

"Lu Qianchuan, let's play this game when we get back."

"Is it difficult to play with me, as a couple's flirtation?" Lu Qianchuan's tone hid a grievance he hadn't even noticed himself. He held her face, not letting her dodge, and pressed against her lips again.

"No," Qin Yan couldn't fathom his thoughts and pushed him away again. "It's only fun if it's mutual. We're outside, Lu Qianchuan, calm down."

"..."

Lu Qianchuan was pushed away and leaned back in the seat, licking his lower lip. His throat suddenly felt a bit dry.

His long, knuckled fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly.

After a few breaths, he collected his emotions and started the car.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a bit awkward, inexplicably making her feel a bit guilty.

But she didn't know why she felt guilty.

Going to the dry cleaner, she checked the coffee stains on her clothes; they had all been cleaned off, which put her in a very good mood when she went to the supermarket.

After walking around and buying what she needed, she turned to see Lu Qianchuan pushing the cart. He followed her wherever she went, giving her the illusion that although he looked fierce, he was actually very obedient.

They had to queue to pay. Qin Yan noticed the man was still indifferent, his mood not high, and she didn't know if he was angry with her.

She noticed sexual health products displayed on the shelf in front, and she bumped Lu Qianchuan with her arm.

"Do you need these?"

"...?"

Lu Qianchuan looked at her in confusion, followed her finger to look at the contraceptives on the shelf, coughed lightly, and whispered in her ear, "You take them."

"..." Qin Yan looked up at him.

Lu Qianchuan met her gaze, raised his eyebrows, and asked deliberately, "Don't know the size?"

Qin Yan looked at the contraceptives again, pursed her lips, put a box in the shopping cart, and then asked him, "Is this enough?"

"... Enough for one night."

"..." Qin Yan took two more boxes. She really couldn't help it and said with a blushing face, "I'll buy some more at night."

"Hmm."

Lu Qianchuan looked down at her, holding back a laugh.

Suddenly bumped on the arm by the woman, he collected his expression.

"Protective measures must be taken. It wouldn't be fun if a life was created, right?"

"I wasn't laughing. Let's try if what you bought works well tonight." He said he wasn't laughing, but his voice carried a hint of pleasure.

"..."

Qin Yan didn't know what was going on, but her ears were burning.
