Chapter 67

"Can't we sign it after eating?"

Qin Yan stared at the pen in his hand and didn't take it.

"Isn't it the same before or after the meal?" Gu He'an smiled, pinched her cheek, and then pointed to the place to sign, "Sign it first, then eat."

"How can it be the same? Some medicine must be taken after a meal; taking it before a meal is bad for the stomach." Qin Yan stared at him and asked, "The medicine I gave you before, did you take it?"

Gu He'an paused. After he got busy with work, she would remind him every time he took medicine, sometimes even calling or video chatting to nag and urge him, which made him very annoyed.

But after the two got their marriage certificate, she seemed to have never urged him to take medicine again.

She suddenly brought up this topic; could it be that she wanted to delay?

"It's my fault for not reminding me. However, what does this have to do with signing?" Gu He'an asked with a smile.

Qin Yan stared at his face, as well as the wrist and back of the hand resting on the table, and then looked at the sky outside the window.

In spring, the weather is changeable, and such change is not a good thing for people with chronic illnesses.

"What are you looking at, Qin Yan?" Gu He'an followed her gaze to look out the window; outside was the dazzling night view.

He added, "After the meal, I'll take you for a stroll."

Qin Yan didn't answer, took the pen from his hand, and wrote her name.

Gu He'an watched her finish writing and put down the pen, the corners of his mouth curling up.

He took the document and said with a smile, "Qin Yan, you're so obedient. Come accompany me tonight."

Qin Yan looked at him calmly. Being with him, every time she heard him say 'be obedient,' she would unconsciously think of her own parents—was she not obedient enough, which was why she couldn't get their love? She would subconsciously compromise and endure, learning to be a little more obedient.

Unfortunately, she was young and ignorant; the feelings obtained through compromise were unhealthy.

Letting go appropriately was also letting herself go.

"The premise of me being obedient is that you can respect me. Will you?"

"Of course I will. I am your husband; I will love you for a lifetime." Gu He'an looked at her affectionately, reached out to hold the back of her hand, and couldn't help but recall the scene that night. Thinking about how he wanted to relive it tonight, his body felt a little hot.

Qin Yan withdrew her hand, turned her gaze away, and looked not far away.

She feigned surprise and let out an 'eh,' "That person, it seems to be Secretary Lin. What a coincidence, she's eating with her boyfriend."

Gu He'an frowned, followed her gaze, and looked at Lin Yan sitting not far away.

Lin Yan was holding a wine glass, drinking with someone.

And the person sitting opposite her was Lu Qianchuan.

This was a restaurant for couples; those sitting here eating, there was no need to introduce, one knew what the other's status was.

Qin Yan glanced at Gu He'an's instantly gloomy complexion; even through his glasses, she could feel the sinister and ruthless look in his eyes.

She feigned confusion and said, "Why is the man opposite her the President of the Lu Corporation? Isn't he your mortal enemy? Today, this man even lectured me in front of Miss Lin!"

He stood up to go over, and Qin Yan smiled and said, "Are you going over to say hello? I'll go with you. I saw Miss Lin receiving flowers from her boyfriend every day before, as well as lunch and afternoon tea. So, she is dating Mr. Lu."

"What lunch and afternoon tea?" Gu He'an looked at Qin Yan in confusion.

"You don't know?" Qin Yan kindly explained, "There's a man surnamed Lu who has been sending her lunch and afternoon tea every day during this period. Haven't you noticed that Miss Lin has gained some weight?"

Gu He'an gritted his teeth, "I really didn't know!"

Lin Yan had said before that she didn't know who sent those flowers; it turned out to be a lie.

Qin Yan continued to add fuel to the fire, "I met Miss Lin this afternoon. I don't know if Miss Lin told you, but I wanted to make things difficult for that Mr. Lu, but I saw Miss Lin standing by Mr. Lu's side, lecturing me. I even suspect if she is a mole Lu Qianchuan left by your side, wanting to bring down the Gu Corporation!"

"Is that really the case?" Gu He'an knitted his brows tightly.

"I'm just suspicious; who knows if it's true or false."

Qin Yan drank water calmly. Gu He'an was suspicious; once the seed of doubt landed and took root, it would soon sprout.

Gu He'an immediately thought of the Su Jing public opinion incident last time. At that time, it was Lin Yan who proposed kicking Qin Yan out of the company, and later it was she who insisted on using Su Jing, which made the Gu Corporation a laughingstock.

And this time, with Qin Yan's help, the scientific research project hadn't succeeded; it might also be her, Lin Yan, playing tricks!

The woman he truly loved was actually colluding with the man he hated most to betray him.

How could he swallow this anger!

He strode toward the two, staring at Lin Yan sinisterly.

"Secretary Lin, I have something to find you for, come with me!"

Lin Yan saw Gu He'an and was startled, panic flashing across her face. She barely maintained the smile on her face and asked, "President, is, did something happen?"

"Come with me, and you'll naturally know." Gu He'an's eyes were sinister, carrying a murderous aura.

Lin Yan was scared, but she couldn't hide at this moment.

"Mr. Gu, it's off-duty time now. Miss Lin is dining with me, so please don't disturb us." Lu Qianchuan stood up to block him.

"I don't care about your off-duty time, she, Lin Yan, is my..."

"Gu He'an, please calm down!" Lin Yan interrupted Gu He'an's words with her scalp tingling.

The fact that she and Gu He'an were married absolutely could not let Lu Qianchuan know.

She said to Lu Qianchuan, "I grew up with the President. He has always treated me like a younger sister and is so nervous because he's afraid I'll meet the wrong person. Mr. Lu, please don't be angry."

She looked at Gu He'an with red eyes and a pleading tone, "Wasn't it about work? Let's go quickly!"

Gu He'an narrowed his cold eyes and stared at her. Looking at her exquisite makeup and beautiful attire, it was somewhat piercing at this moment.

"Gu He'an," Qin Yan walked over and reached out to stop the two, "We haven't finished our meal yet. Gu He'an, are you going to leave me behind?"

"I have work to deal with, Qin Yan, move aside!" Gu He'an was impatient, his tone carrying anger.

Qin Yan also cooled her expression, "I just gave you the shares, and you treat me like this? You're going to work, why are you holding Secretary Lin's hand?"

Gu He'an's eyes were bloodshot. Reason suppressed his anger. He turned to look at her and warned coldly, "Qin Yan, don't make a scene. Wait until I've finished dealing with work, then I'll come find you!"

"If you leave, we're finished. Don't regret it!"

"Suit yourself!"

Having obtained the shares, Gu He'an was certain that at most she would throw a tantrum for a few days, which was irrelevant to him.

Without the patience to drag it out, he pulled Lin Yan and continued to walk forward.

Lin Yan nervously got into his car. Seeing the man start the car without a word, the speed was too fast, and she was so scared she gripped her seatbelt tightly.

Halfway through, she tried to call him, but he ignored her completely. Until the two got out of the car and she was brought into the apartment by him, she was so scared by his expression that she cried out.

She cried like rain and said, "He'an, husband, don't be angry. I met Lu Qianchuan this time for your sake."
