Under the well-lit streets, there was a 7-foot tall snow castle that was built on the land beside a stretch of wisteria trees. The mini castle was delicate and clear; it looked exactly like an actual castle.
“Watch out, it’s slippery!” Qin Jinhuan followed closely behind Mu Yu as he reminded her.
“Who made this? It can’t be you, can it?” Mu Yu was extremely surprised as she looked around, admiring the whole castle. Qin Jinhuan stood in front of the castle’s ‘grand entrance’ and beamed at her with his eyes narrowed. “Why can’t it be me?”
“This looks like so much work…” Realizing that she should try her best not to offend him for anything, Mu Yu quickly changed the topic. “Did you come here right after you sent me home?”
“No. I went back to the office,” he replied honestly.
Mu Yu then gave him a ‘See, I knew it’ gaze as she grinned and looked at him. “I told you that it’s impossible for you to make this! Even if we don’t
“Okay.” After the series of surprises that came before this, Mu Yu was in high spirits. She ran downstairs with a grin on her face, picturing the sort of surprises that might await her as she made her way down. But when she arrived at the living hall, it was empty. She curiously glanced toward the entrance that was tightly shut. “Huan?” she called.“Over here.” His voice came from the dining area. She quickly followed his voice and went over. “You must be hungry, right?” He embraced her with a grin.“It smells great!” She greedily sniffed the tasty aroma of the dishes. “Where’s your surprise?” she asked, not forgetting what he had mentioned. Although she was starving, the idea of getting a surprise was much more attractive. “There.” He pointed toward the four dishes and a pot of soup that still had steam coming out of it.Mu Yu stared at him in disbelief and asked, “Are you saying that you prepared all of this?!” Although the dish
“Hello? Am I speaking to the brother-in-law of the owner of this phone?” Instantly, the man’s voice made Qin Jinhuan feel uneasy. He asked in return, “What happened to her?”“She was involved in a car accident—she’s currently stuck in the car.”“What!?” Qin Jinhuan sprung up. “Where is the accident? Have you called an ambulance?”“Who was in an accident?!” Mu Yu almost choked on her meal when she overheard the conversation.Qin Jinhuan ignored her and listened intently to the man’s voice. “It’s at South City Highway on Liu Family’s farmhouse road. I have already called for an ambulance with her cell phone; you should hurry over if you’re her brother-in-law.”“Is her condition life-threatening?” he asked as he walked briskly.“I don’t know; I tried nudging her a few times, but she didn’t move. She’s still breathing, though.”“Then you—hello? Hello?” Filled with exasperation, Qin J
Flinching awkwardly, Yin Anran quickly hid her phone behind her.“Give it to me,” Qin Jinhuan said sternly as he put his hand out.“I’m really hungry, Jinhuan.”She tried changing the subject again, but this time, Qin Jinhuan didn’t let her get away with it. Instead, he held her hands down roughly and snatched the phone away from her.“Jinhuan!”Qin Jinhuan pushed her hands away when she tried to grab the phone. “Who were you calling?” he questioned coldly.“M-My friend.”“Which friend is this? What’s their name?”“You don’t know this person—he’s a new friend of mine,” answered Yin Anran timidly with her gaze lowered. “Password.”“Jinhuan…”“Password, now!”The more Yin Anran acted evasively, the more suspicious he felt toward her. Unquestionably, he would not tolerate it if she was plotting something against Mu Yu.
How was it possible to have such sounds coming from Mu Yu’s room at this hour?!Could it be… Impossible! Yu is not that kind of person!Qin Jinhuan walked hastily into the room.The lights in the room were switched off and the room was shrouded in a pink-purple hue. The air had an inexplicable sensuality to it.In the middle of the room, the sheet covers of the big bed quivered slightly and the moans continued as his suspicion grew.He coughed gently to avoid any embarrassing situations.The movement under the sheets as well as the moans stopped after the cough; the ominous silence in the room made it seem as though nothing was out of place.He walked to the side of the bed and bent down as he gently called out her name.“Oh…”There was another moan, but there was something different about it; there was an underlying tone of pain in it.He realized that s
After a few more glances, Huang Bo decided to speak up. “Boss, there’s something I want to…”“Speak.”“While I was driving Assistant Yin’s car back to the hotel, I checked her car’s data recorder and found something strange.”Qin Jinhuan’s resting eyes suddenly opened wide, but he remained silent.Huang Bo knew that his boss was interested in what he was about to say and didn’t want to beat around the bush, but he was hesitant. “It could just be my own misconception…”“Just spill it.”“Yes, Boss. When Assistant Yin was driving from West Bay to the highway, her car’s speed was controlled around 100 mph; this highway is an enclosed section, so she was driving at regular speed. However, what bothers me is that Assistant Yin was about to reach the Liu Family’s farmhouse—the road where she had her accident—when she suddenly decelerated. Shortly after that, she knocked into the highway barrier. After examining t
“Who do you think it is then?” Immediately, Wen Zeyu understood what he was implying.Qin Jinhuan did not answer the question. Instead, he pointed at Dong Wanqing’s name on the paper and asked, “Why are you so certain that it’s hers?”Wen Zeyu pulled out the paper under the first page and showed it to Qin Jinhuan. “I’ve checked her call history. She had a call with the female worker, Liu Xiaoxiang, thereafter Liu Xiaoxiang organized the strike to ask for a pay raise. I have confirmed with Liu Xiaoxiang and she admitted that she was only emboldened to ask for multiple pay raises after the call with Dong Wanqing because Dong Wanqing gave her a detailed explanation about the employer’s stake in between employees’ pay raise and delayed delivery.”“Are you sure Dong Wanqing was the one who called?”“I recorded Dong Wanqing’s voice and played it to Liu Xiaoxiang, and she said it sounded like her.”“Sounded like?”
While the weather outside was biting cold, it was cosy and warm indoor. The television was broadcasting some random series, and soft music could be heard playing from the radio.Meanwhile, Mu Yu was lying on the bed chatting with Jiang Wenwen over the phone using headphones, her eyes closed.“Young Master Qin attended culinary lessons for your sake just because of that piece of paper?” Green with envy, Jiang Wenwen could hardly believe what she had heard on the other end of the line. “He’s such a busy man, and yet he is so attentive to you. I’m really touched!”“There’s nothing to be touched about. The food was not that tasty anyway, and its appearance was unattractive. I barely took a few bites,” Mu Yu criticized casually. Nevertheless, the reflection of her beaming face could be seen from the phone screen.“Hey, how could you say that? What an ungrateful woman.” Unaware of Mu Yu’s true expression, Jiang Wenwen disgustedly took up
She was extremely ecstatic with the sense of touch on her fingertips. Consciously, she clasped Qin Jinhuan’s hand and closed her eyes. Her blushing face appeared even more alluring and attractive. Come, Jinhuan! Come to me! Suppressing her exhilaration, she screamed in silence.Right then, a cylinder-shaped cold object was placed under her arms. Shuddering in shock, she instantly opened her eyes with surprise written all over her face.“Jinhuan? You...”“I’m taking your temperature. I have to send you to the hospital if you’re still feverish,” Qin Jinhuan said as he placed her hand under the blanket. Then, he tucked the blanket under her so that she was covered completely.What?! H-He actually covered me with a blanket?!Is the incense not strong enough? Is my outfit not seductive enough? Or was my performance unsatisfactory?No way! There shouldn’t be anything wrong from my side! I’ve put in
