Chapter 7: You quit your job, and you stay home to prepare for pregnancy

"I'm sorry, I... I really drank too much. Which one was it? I'll buy you another one." Qin Yan blushed as she recalled the scene from last night.

"Private customization, only one of its kind."

"Then, you... at worst, at worst, I'll tear one of my own clothes to vent my anger, I..."

"Your suggestion is good; I also want to experience your happiness." Lu Qianchuan interrupted her and leaned closer to her, looking down at the top of her round head.

Qin Yan was stunned and couldn't help but think of last night. After she took off his shirt, her hands had traced his chest, abdominal muscles, and... they were a married couple, so what was there to be shy about?

Besides, they had already done it!

She decided to go all the way, took the initiative, pushed him against the full-length mirror, and took his hand to place it on herself.

"Tear it."

His palm pressed against her side waist, the warmth gradually rising like a fire burning to his heart. Lu Qianchuan swallowed saliva physiologically.

His fingertips traced the edge of her shirt collar, then followed the lines on her shoulders downward, saying, "This one is hard to tear; take it off."

"..." If she took this off, only her bra would be left.

If this bra was torn open by him, then... anyway, it wasn't like he hadn't seen it; he had even bitten it last night.

She raised her arms and took off her shirt.

It also revealed the bite mark on her shoulder, which he had bitten, and the red marks below her collarbone, which he had made.

*Ring, ring, ring. *

A phone ringtone sounded.

"I'll answer the phone first." She turned around awkwardly, found her phone, and answered.

"Xiaoyan, haven't you finished yet? I'll come pick you up." It was Gu He'an's voice.

"Wait, I..."

Before she could answer, the man beside her snatched the phone away and tossed it into her suitcase.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his lips over, and kissed her forcefully.

"Mmph..."

"Hello? What's wrong? Xiaoyan, why aren't you speaking? I heard a bang just now; did your phone drop?" Gu He'an's voice on the phone sounded a bit anxious.

Lu Qianchuan kissed her even more fiercely.

A lion that had suddenly flown into a rage wanted to devour her.

After a while, the man let her go, his chin rubbing against her cheek, his breath scorching.

Qin Yan leaned on his shoulder, pressing against his neck, breathing heavily.

"Qin Yan, what happened? Why aren't you speaking?"

The call hadn't hung up. Hearing Gu He'an's voice, Qin Yan whispered in the man's ear, asking imploringly, "Can you put me down?"

The man who had been fierce just a moment ago was surprisingly easy to talk to and put her down.

Qin Yan picked up the phone and said, "Yes, I accidentally dropped my phone. I'll send you the address in a bit, and you can come pick me up."

She couldn't expose the fake marriage certificate Gu He'an gave her yet, but she had to settle the score with him for the ring he passed off as a diamond!

Hearing that she was still going to see Gu He'an, Lu Qianchuan's eyes instantly became as sharp and piercing as a hawk's, as if to cut her, but when she lowered her eyes to answer the phone, his eyes revealed a bit of grievance.

He didn't speak and turned to walk away.

Qin Yan hung up the phone and turned to feel the air pressure around the man drop. She wanted to explain, "I'm going to handle business, Mr. Lu, you..."

*Bang! *

Answering her was a loud noise; the bedroom door was slammed shut.

Qin Yan sighed helplessly, licked her slightly numb lower lip, and walked to the mirror to check. There was even a faint bite mark on her lower lip.

She changed into another outfit and put on light makeup before walking out.

She saw the man standing by the window with a glass of wine, his gaze directed outside. Because of the curtain, half of his body was in the shadows. His tall, straight figure appeared gloomy.

She walked over and said to the man, "I will definitely be back before 9:30."

"Heh."

Lu Qianchuan glanced at her. She usually went bare-faced, but now she had specially put on makeup. Was she that happy to see Gu He'an?

Qin Yan, who had walked a few steps, heard the man's cold snort and also let out a "tsk."

She wouldn't narcissistically think this man was jealous; it was just that they had registered their marriage, and her still contacting another man was disrespectful to this marriage in his eyes.

She turned back to stand before him, stood on tiptoe, left a lipstick mark on his collar, and pulled him out of the shadows.

"Wait for me to come back."

She winked at him with a smile before turning to leave.

"..."

Lu Qianchuan looked down, staring blankly at the lipstick mark on his collar.

He couldn't tie her up and not let her out of the house.

He heard his phone *ding* several times; it was a message from Assistant Shen, containing two screenshots and a voice note.

He clicked on the screenshots to check; they were moments posted by Gu Group employees, saying they had eaten the Gu Group CEO's wedding candy and congratulating him and his fiancée on their happy union.

Another one was a moment from a Gu Group executive, saying congratulations to CEO Gu on his happy marriage, wishing them a hundred years of harmony and early birth of a child.

Gu He'an's fiancée wasn't that Qin Yan who had just left a lipstick mark on his collar?

He darkened his face and clicked on the voice note.

"CEO, I just heard the news that Gu He'an registered his marriage with his fiancée, and the whole company ate their wedding candy. I checked his fiancée; it's the woman who donated money today, also named Qin Yan."

"What a coincidence, CEO. Your wife is also named Qin Yan. You two are worthy of being arch-nemeses; the wives you found have the same name!"

Lu Qianchuan clicked on the voice note and replied, "Whether Gu He'an registered his marriage has nothing to do with me, but my wife was his former fiancée before yesterday."

"...!"

The assistant who heard the voice note couldn't believe his ears.

Was business warfare this intense now?

The CEO didn't just want to snatch the Gu Group's projects; he had even abducted his fiancée onto his own household register. Did he have to be so insane!

Or was it that bastard Gu He'an, who had deliberately sent his former fiancée to act as a spy to confuse the CEO?

What a vicious scheme!

It seemed the CEO didn't have to suffer the bitterness of love, but as for the bitterness of marriage—tsk tsk, he didn't know why he suddenly felt a bit balanced in his heart.

Qin Yan left the complex and took a taxi back to near her rental before sending the address to Gu He'an.

Within five minutes, Gu He'an rushed over.

"Xiaoyan, what was so busy that it took so late?" Gu He'an asked after she got in the car.

He had thought that since he called and she agreed, she would definitely have prepared in advance and gone to the Gu house to prepare a sumptuous dinner waiting for him to eat.

In the past, whenever he said he wanted to eat her cooking, she would have it ready before he got off work, just waiting for him to go back and eat.

But his younger sister called to complain, asking why she hadn't gone to the Gu house to cook yet—was she trying to starve them to death?

"Moving, I needed help. I got busy and forgot the time; I'm really sorry." Qin Yan blurred the information.

"Then let's go home now." Gu He'an started the car.

Go home?

Heh, Qin Yan sneered in her heart.

She said, "Wait, don't rush; I have something I want to tell you."

"Hmm?"

"I want to find a job."

Gu He'an frowned. "A job? The money I earn is enough to support you. Isn't it good for you to stay at home? Why bother going out to suffer and get angry for a few thousand yuan?"

When he was coaxing her, it was "I'll support you."

When he was disgusted with her, it was "I'm the one supporting you!"

"You're right, so I decided to go work at the Gu Group. Not only will I have a chance to see you, but with you shielding me, I won't get angry."

"Xiaoyan, work isn't playing house." Gu He'an taught her with a serious expression.

"If I can't do it well, at worst I'll quit and continue lying at home, okay?"

Qin Yan portrayed herself as someone experiencing life to lower his guard.

Gu He'an pondered in his heart. Letting her go to the Gu Group wasn't impossible; let her suffer some setbacks, and she would naturally leave when she couldn't take it anymore.

He smiled indulgently and pinched her face. "Since you want to experience it, come to the Gu Group and try. If you don't feel like playing anymore, then tell me. You quit your job, and you stay home to prepare for pregnancy."

Qin Yan wanted to roll her eyes when she heard him mention pregnancy.

Giving her a fake marriage certificate and still wanting her to have an illegitimate child to ruin her life—he truly was lacking in virtue! ===== CHAPTER 8 =====
