Chapter 5: Tonight, I want to make up for your wedding night

~8 min read 1,423 words

After leaving the Gu Group, Qin Yan took the subway back to her rental. Seeing several donation posters along the way, she stopped, took out the card Gu He'an had given her, and curled her lips.

She called the number on the poster and met with the project manager, donating ten million to each project.

But when she reached the fifth project, the system alerted her that she had exceeded her daily spending limit.

She felt a little disappointed.

She was doing good deeds for Gu He'an, accumulating merit, and she thought she could spend a hundred million!

She returned to her rental to pack her things, taking out everything related to Gu He'an; what should be thrown away was thrown away, and what should be sold was sold.

Looking at the trash can filled to the brim, every item held beautiful memories and had been carefully preserved by her; throwing them away now felt as painful as cutting flesh from her own body.

But not throwing them away was even more disgusting.

She wiped away her tears, composed herself, took her suitcase, and went to Lu Qianchuan's apartment.

But outside the residential complex of Lu Qianchuan's apartment, she was stopped by security and informed that she couldn't enter without an access card.

Only then did she remember that she didn't have Lu Qianchuan's contact information.

How embarrassing!

At the same time, the Lu Group CEO's office door was pushed open by Assistant Shen.

Assistant Shen said excitedly, "CEO, the foundation just sent good news; the charity project you initiated has received a donation of fifty million."

Lu Qianchuan's gaze was still on the document as he asked casually, "Which company?"

Investing money so actively was usually done by companies wanting to use this opportunity to cooperate with the Lu Group.

"It's the Gu Group. The person who signed the card is surnamed Qin. She should be a staff member of the Gu Group. Our arch-nemesis investing money in our charity to expand our company's popularity—who would believe that if it got out?"

Assistant Shen felt this matter was a bit strange and was also worried if it was another of Gu He'an's schemes.

Lu Qianchuan's hand holding the pen paused; he gripped the fountain pen tightly and raised his eyes to look at him.

"Surnamed Qin?"

"Yes, there is surveillance footage of her."

"Give it to me."

Assistant Shen hurriedly retrieved the surveillance and handed it to him, thinking to himself how witty he was to detect Gu He'an's sinister scheme.

But why did the CEO's expression soften after watching the surveillance video?

He was surprised in his heart and looked at the video again, but he didn't find anything unusual.

He was so anxious.

This was the feeling of knowing there was a secret here but being unable to eat the melon.

At this moment, his phone rang; it was a call from the security office of the complex where the CEO lived. He answered it in confusion.

"Mr. Shen, hello. This is the security office of the complex. There is a woman here claiming to be Mr. Lu's wife, wanting to enter the complex."

The assistant laughed in anger. Were scammers these days so brainless?

"Drive her away, drive her away! Daring to try to latch onto Mr. Lu—she didn't even bother to find out that my CEO is single before lying!"

"Okay, I'll drive this crazy woman away right now; I definitely won't let her disturb you." The security guard hung up in a panic.

Lu Qianchuan raised his eyes and looked at the assistant with an unfriendly expression. "Who said I'm single?"

"If you aren't single, what are you?"

The assistant knew he had someone in his heart, but he hadn't caught her yet, so wasn't he single!

Lu Qianchuan elegantly took out his marriage certificate and handed it to him to see.

"Look clearly, I have a wife!"

"..." The assistant stared at the marriage certificate in horror, opened it to check, and confirmed again and again that it wasn't fake.

The registration date was even today!

The CEO worked with him every day; how did a wife suddenly appear out of thin air?

My God, how could his life be so good?

A father who is a tycoon, a mother who is a wealthy heiress, a capable older sister, a sensible and well-behaved younger sister—the only thing that didn't go smoothly was a secret crush, and now he didn't even have to suffer the bitterness of love and had already settled his marriage.

The marriage certificate was taken back by Lu Qianchuan. He put it in his pocket and said indifferently, "I'm going to pick up my wife."

"Ah, but, but it's not time to get off work yet." Assistant Shen was horrified again.

The workaholic was actually leaving early!

"So?" Lu Qianchuan looked at him with deep, cold eyes, sharp as a knife, as if he should prepare his own funeral if he dared to stop him from picking up his wife.

"Take your time, I... I'll handle the remaining work." Assistant Shen begged with a bitter face.

If capitalists were so capable, why couldn't they assign him a wife!

Qin Yan stood outside the complex, having no choice but to wait for Lu Qianchuan to get off work.

She didn't wait for Lu Qianchuan, but instead received a call from Gu He'an, asking her why she had spent fifty million and hit the limit on his card.

She said pitifully, "I saw an introduction to a charity organization; in the impoverished mountain areas, there are many poor children living in hardship, unable to afford school or medical treatment. I wanted to share the joy of my marriage with them, so I left the money for those children. You aren't angry with me, are you?"

"I'm not angry; I'm worried you encountered a scammer. You're so innocent, it's easy for you to be fooled."

Qin Yan laughed. That was true.

She had been an innocent, love-struck fool before, which was why she was led around by him and was still happy like a fool.

"That won't happen. I checked their qualifications. I donated the money under the name of the Gu Group, so the Gu Group will also get a good reputation, increase company exposure, and enhance its popularity."

Gu He'an heard that although she had donated the money, she was still thinking of him with all her heart. She hadn't spent a cent of those fifty million.

He even felt a bit of heartache.

Thinking of that fake marriage certificate, he suddenly felt a bit guilty in his heart.

"Xiaoyan, to celebrate our marriage registration, why don't you come to my house and cook a few of your signature dishes? There are a few dishes I want to eat; will you cook them for me?"

Qin Yan sneered. In the past, because he was sick and needed to pay attention to his diet, she had specifically learned to cook nutritional meals.

After she nursed him back to health, he took it for granted that she should cook for him, even frequently demanding she cook difficult dishes. She would work for hours, and he would turn around and give them to another woman to eat.

It was truly turning the world upside down!

Qin Yan didn't speak. Gu He'an coaxed her again, saying, "I'm asking you to cook for your own sake; I hope my parents will eat the food you cook and like you a little more. That way, we can be happy together, right?"

Listening to the man's sophistry, Qin Yan was almost laughed to anger.

In the past, wasn't she the one who retreated and compromised step by step because of such illogical and disgusting reasons?

Being love-struck was truly terrifying!

"But, I have something to deal with right now; it's not convenient for me to go over!"

Gu He'an hadn't expected her to refute him. "Qin Yan, didn't we agree that tonight, I would make up for your wedding night? Aren't you looking forward to it?"

"That's fine, I'll go over once I've dealt with things here."

"Hmm, Xiaoyan, I'm really looking forward to tonight, making you my true woman." The man's tone was gentle, but Qin Yan felt like vomiting.

After he hung up, she turned around and found Lu Qianchuan standing behind her. His expression was terrible, gloomy as if he were about to eat someone.

"..." Who made him angry? Qin Yan was bewildered. ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
