Chapter 91

Qin Yan ran to the school gate and saw Lu Qianchuan waving at her in front of the car.

He was wearing a black coat, a black sweater, and a black mask and hat, as if he were about to blend into the night. But he was tall and straight, and his whole body exuded a calm, composed, and noble temperament.

Anyone passing by him couldn't help but look twice. Wanting to hide—that was too difficult.

Seeing her come over, he walked a few long steps to the street lamp. His whole face was hidden in the shadows by the brim of his hat, making it very hard to probe his emotions.

Qin Yan quickened her pace, ran to his side, and the man naturally stepped forward to take her schoolbag, and the two got into the car together.

Then she heard his coughing sound, saying, "Give me your hand, I'll check your situation first."

Lu Qianchuan obediently handed his wrist to her. Watching her take his pulse seriously, he took off his hat, allowing him to see her taut little face more clearly as she checked him seriously.

"There's no problem. It might be the change of seasons, a bit of a cold. Expel the evil energy from the lungs and let the Yang energy rise," Qin Yan explained to him, telling him to start the car and go to the pharmacy. She would use two doses of medicine for him, and it would definitely be better.

Lu Qianchuan curled his lips happily and responded. After starting the car, he sighed with emotion, "Fortunately, I have Mrs. Lu to help me. Dealing with Gu He'an's matter recently has been a bit busy. If the situation were serious, it would be a bit troublesome."

"Don't say that," Qin Yan was embarrassed by what he said.

At the pharmacy, Qin Yan got two doses of medicine, and Lu Qianchuan paid—it only cost ten yuan.

Returning to Lu Qianchuan's large apartment, Qin Yan worked on her computer while decocting the medicine.

Hearing Lu Qianchuan cough and sneeze, she turned to look at him, "Is it very uncomfortable?"

"A little bit," Lu Qianchuan walked to her side and reached out to her, "Give me your hand, I'll put the ring on for you first."

Qin Yan sat down hurriedly and stretched out her hand.

After the ring was put on, Lu Qianchuan looked up at her, his black eyes dark and gloomy, "If you don't like this ring, I can buy you a new one. If you don't want it, you can also return it to me, but don't throw it away, okay?"

"I don't dislike it, and I don't not want it. I just accidentally put it over there," Qin Yan explained guiltily.

"Is that so?" Lu Qianchuan didn't point it out and said again, "If you suspect that I have an unclear relationship with another woman and feel that I'm not clean, then let's make the relationship public, and then you can make me leave with nothing. This house will also belong to you in the future."

"No, I don't!"

Qin Yan grabbed his hand and explained urgently, "We got the certificate based on win-win cooperation. If you have someone in your heart, or to pursue the person you like, I support it. If you discuss divorce with me, I will also agree. However, if you do this, please don't hide it from me and make me a fool who is being played, okay?"

"No," Lu Qianchuan cupped her face, "There won't be such a situation."

The two looked at each other, and Qin Yan felt strange inside, turning her gaze away first.

"I'll go to the kitchen and see," she let go of him, turned, and ran to the kitchen.

Lu Qianchuan looked at her back and curled his lips.

He drank the medicine, and sure enough, he sweated a lot, and his coughing decreased.

After showering, the two lay on the bed. He grabbed a strand of her long hair, wrapped it around his fingertip, and looked up to meet the woman's gaze.

He moved toward her side and asked in a low voice, "Does it bother you?"

"What?"

"Me getting close to you."

"How could it?" To show she wasn't lying, Qin Yan also turned around to face him. They didn't know how many times they had done it; how could she be bothered?

"Then, can you give me a goodnight kiss?"

"..." Qin Yan pursed her lips, her eyelashes trembling, and she felt inexplicably nervous inside.

"Just kissing the cheek is fine," he leaned close slowly.

"It's fine, if you want to kiss, just kiss," Qin Yan wasn't coy and nodded in agreement.

The next second, Lu Qianchuan held the back of her neck and captured her lips.

The goodnight kiss he wanted wasn't a kiss to coax a child, but the desire of an adult.

After the kiss, Qin Yan's brain was blank, her breathing was obstructed, her cheeks were burning, and her body was rising with heat.

Turning to look at the man, he wasn't much better off, staring at her intently, panting heavily, yet backing away to keep his distance from her.

"Goodnight."

"Hmm, goodnight," Qin Yan bit her lower lip. She probably wouldn't be able to sleep for a while.

But he still had a cold; she'd better endure it.

The next day, after Lu Qianchuan had breakfast, he drank another bowl of medicine, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He washed the medicine bowl, turned, and discussed with Qin Yan.

"My family wants to have dinner with you, Mrs. Lu. Is it convenient?"

"Your family?"

Qin Yan thought this was the second time he had brought up this topic, and she hesitated inside.

"My sister, the one who called you last time. You also saw her once in the elevator yesterday. She knows I'm married and wants to see you," Lu Qianchuan explained.

"Okay, then you set the time."

So it was his sister in the elevator last night.

It was she who had misunderstood him.

She felt even more guilty inside.

Lu Qianchuan arranged the dinner for the next evening. After he got off work, he picked up Qin Yan and went to the restaurant.

Walking into the private room, Qin Yan saw Lu Jiayi. She had neat short hair and was wearing a black long dress today, paired with a light coffee-colored coat. She was exquisite and luxurious, truly pretty.

"Hello, I'm Qin Yan."

"Hello, I'm Lu Jiayi, Qianchuan's sister," Lu Jiayi saw her face, and her heart was even more surprised.

Wasn't this the girl she saw that night?

Lu Qianchuan wasn't doing this to anger that boy, deliberately finding the girl he liked, right?

His move was too damaging!

"Don't be nervous, just call me sister," Lu Qianchuan reminded her in a low voice in Qin Yan's ear, holding her hand and sitting down with her.

Qin Yan cooperated and called Lu Jiayi sister before sitting down.

But looking at Lu Jiayi's scrutinizing gaze, she was afraid she looked down on her.

After all, the Lu family was a wealthy and powerful clan, and she came from a small mountain village; their identities were worlds apart.

Next, no matter what she said, Qin Yan was prepared for it.

"First meeting, a gift for you. Don't dislike it!" Lu Jiayi took out a gift box, pushed it to Qin Yan, and sized the two up.

She was originally supposed to take the afternoon flight to leave, but Lu Qianchuan suddenly called her proactively, saying he wanted her to see his wife before leaving, so she had to change her flight.

The Lu Qianchuan she knew wasn't a warm person, and he wouldn't act out sibling affection in front of others, yet he was suddenly so abnormal.

Perhaps he was afraid that his family would discover the fact that he liked men, so he deliberately found a woman to act, just to borrow her mouth to tell the family that he liked women, to cover up the truth?

"Thank you, sister."

Qin Yan took the gift box embarrassedly, opened it to take a look—it was a necklace, exquisitely carved, and it looked very valuable.

"Qin Yan, how long have you two been together? How did you get together and decide to get married?"

Hearing Lu Jiayi's question, Qin Yan looked up at her, thought about it, and said, only to hear Lu Qianchuan speak first, "Love at first sight. I pursued her, and she agreed to marry me on a flash marriage."

"..." Qin Yan turned to look at him strangely.

Why did he lie?
