Heartbeat Trap

Rumor has it that Young Master Lu, who avoids women, actively sought out Qi Nuan, who was facing financial difficulties, and signed a marriage contract.

She thought this marriage was merely h...

Chapter 9 Double Heir

The relationship between my grandmother and the Qi family is quite complicated. Even in the wealthy circle, not many people know the true relationship between my grandmother and their Qi family.

As long as Qi Meng hides well, Gu Hui won't be able to find her for a while, and won't hurt her inadvertently.

During this time, she had to hurry to her sister's house to look for it again to see if there really was something so important there.

As for Lu Yin, wouldn’t it be better to talk about it in advance?

While Qi Nuan was thinking about his next move, he politely responded to his colleagues' greetings, opened the door of his office and walked in.

"Hey, it's not nice to be late just after getting a promotion."

Hao Lili caught Qi Nuan in the act, but her excitement seemed to be due to something else.

Qi Nuan put down her bag and hung up her coat, then walked back to her seat and sat down. "Something happened to hold me up, but you look so happy, what's up?"

"Pa!" Hao Lili slapped her arm. "You're already a manager, so you should pay more attention. The group headquarters is celebrating its centenary this Friday!"

"Oh, yes."

Qi Nuan then remembered that on the day she was promoted, the president gave her an invitation letter in a red festive envelope.

Unfortunately, she was overwhelmed by two major problems at home at that time and had no mood to be happy. She just stuffed the envelope into the drawer and has not opened it to this day.

"You have to dress up for the celebration, and you get to see your capable and handsome boss and his family. What other good things are there?"

Hao Lili couldn't stand Qi Nuan's "indifference".

She leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Didn't the centenary celebration invite a lot of other big companies? The head of the Gu family just passed away a while ago, and I heard his second son is coming to congratulate on his behalf."

The second son of the person in charge of the Gu family is Gu Hui.

Now that Old Man Gu is gone, it’s not surprising that his successor came to congratulate him.

Qi Nuan looked at Hao Lili questioningly, waiting for her next gossip.

"I'm just telling you, I heard that our big boss, handsome Mr. Lu, also has the right to inherit the Gu family. A double heir, that's incredible."

“!!!” Qi Nuan couldn’t believe it.

"Tsk, I knew you would look so silly."

Hao Lili usually took advantage of Qi Nuan and pinched her smooth and delicate face: "My husband said so, it's 80% reliable."

Her husband is the son of a political family and has always been conservative in his words. If he said that, then it was probably credible.

No wonder Gu Hui mentioned his relationship with Lu Yin. So that's how it is.

Before Qi Nuan had time to ponder, Hao Lili patted her head again: "So didn't my sister tell you to take the boss into your pocket? He has a lot of money."

As usual, this elder sister was keen on bringing the sisters together to pursue the boss, and her winking expression still amused Qi Nuan.

Ah, I'm really worried that if Hao Lili finds out about her short-lived marriage with her boss, she will come and scold her.

As the celebration is approaching, urgent work is almost finished, and new tasks are pending and have not yet begun.

Qi Nuan thought that she couldn't move around alone for a long time at night, so she wanted to go to her sister's apartment to look for something during her lunch break when she was not busy.

But before she left, she received a message from "Lu Damao" on her mobile phone: Come to my office during lunch break.

During lunch break, the elevator going down was very crowded, but the elevator going up was very empty.

It took Qi Nuan a while to reach Lu Yin's floor. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she went straight to his office.

There was a man sitting at the service desk in front of the office. He was Lu Yin's secretary, and his surname was Zheng.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Lu here?"

Qi Nuan was in such a hurry to leave that she forgot to take off her work badge.

Secretary Zheng first looked at the ID card on her chest and immediately identified her company and position. He then looked down at the boss's schedule, which did not contain any appointment information with Qi Nuan.

He stood up from his seat and said, "Sorry, Manager Qi, President Lu is meeting with a guest right now, and it's almost break time. If it's not urgent, please come back this afternoon."

Qi Nuan was speechless. Was he going to turn people away even after inviting them in?

"If Mr. Lu is inside, please tell him that Qi Nuan has arrived. If he doesn't want to see me, I'll go back."

Secretary Zheng was stunned for a moment, then naturally realized that Qi Nuan meant that she had made an appointment with President Lu in advance.

"I'll convey your visit right away. Please wait."

The secretary looked embarrassed and quickly dialed a phone number. "Mr. Zhao, Qi Nuan, manager of Yu Ran Times, is here to see the boss. She's at the front desk. I don't have any records of the appointment. Could you please let her in?"

Secretary Zheng looked at Qi Nuan in surprise after hearing what was said on the other end of the phone. "Okay, I understand."

"Miss Qi, please sit here and wait for a moment. The boss will be here soon."

Along with the name he addressed her, his attitude towards Qi Nuan also changed.

Secretary Zheng very politely led Qi Nuan to sit on the sofa in the VIP waiting area and also thoughtfully offered her a glass of warm water.

Two or three minutes later, the office door opened.

Lu Yin, Zhao Yu and a beautiful young woman with a big belly walked towards Qi Nuan together.

"Let me introduce you. This is Zhao Yu's sister Zhao Ying." Lu Yin pointed at the pregnant woman and introduced her to Qi Nuan.

Then he turned to Zhao Ying. Before he could say anything, Zhao Ying quickly took a few steps closer and took Qi Nuan's hand: "You must be Nuan Nuan, right? I often hear Lili talk about you. You are even more beautiful in person than in photos."

Lili? The only person around Qi Nuan who was called Lili was Hao Lili.

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "I think you've probably heard of me. Hao Lili and I are sisters-in-law, and she's my eldest sister-in-law."

Qi Nuan understood instantly.

Hao Lili's sister-in-law is the wife of Pei Ershao, the rookie in the police force of the Pei family.

Qi Nuan had indeed heard of her deeds. Out of every ten times Hao Lili mentioned her, eight out of ten she would say, "She is truly a remarkable and heroic woman who was able to tame my unruly uncle."

"Nice to meet you." Qi Nuan also replied with a smile.

Zhao Ying still held her hand, acting affectionately: "I heard that Lao Hu married Nuan Nuan, so I rushed over here, hoping to get in through the back door. Can you please do me a favor?"

Qi Nuan first glanced at Lu Yin, and seeing that his eyes were calm, she thought that asking her for help would not be a difficult task.

"I wonder what Miss Zhao wants me to do for you?"

"Oh, why are you calling me Miss Zhao? We're family, don't be so formal. Just follow Tiger and call me Sister Ying."

Why are these people so friendly and don't treat her as an outsider?

Qi Nuan smiled and let her hold her hand without pulling it back.

"My eldest son is four years old this year, and he likes Qi Meng very much." Zhao Ying no longer kept the secret.

"I heard Qi Meng plays the piano really well, so I wanted to take her over during her break to be a live-in tutor for my little boy. I came here today to ask Nuan Nuan for some help. Is that okay?"

Home?

And bringing it up at such a sensitive time...
