Chapter 45: "Sister-in-law is so sweet."

When Su Yinuo woke up early in the morning, Qin Cangye was still curled up in her arms.

He put his arm around her waist and rested his head on her soft and warm chest, his brows relaxed, looking as if he was enjoying a sweet dream.

After the quarrel last night, he was as well-behaved as a good child. He was no longer mad or angry, but just wanted to be held all the time. When he finally went to bed to rest, he snuggled into Su Yinuo's arms.

Su Yinuo was very happy and felt that her method was still useful. No matter what, she managed to calm Qin Cangye down.

And during this process, he never hurt her from beginning to end.

Thinking of this, Su Yinuo became even happier. She rubbed Qin Cangye's head and suddenly felt more confident. She felt that the future was bright. No matter how crazy Qin Cangye became in the future, she could handle it!

"Nuo Nuo," the person in his arms made a dazed sound, and then turned over and pressed Su Yinuo under him. He still had his eyes closed, but a kiss had already landed on Su Yinuo's neck.

"In the morning, come once..." He seemed to be talking in his sleep.

"You'll be late for work!" Su Yinuo pushed him anxiously.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." He lifted her legs.

......

Before leaving, Qin Cangye stopped the anxious Su Yinuo, held her slender neck, and stroked the deep and shallow kiss marks with his fingers. He said, "Nunuo, wait a moment. It's not good for others to see so many marks."

He took out a gray and white silk scarf from the closet and tied it around Su Yinuo's neck.

Su Yinuo's cheeks flushed. She adjusted her handkerchief and said, "Let's go! We're going to be late."

At nine o'clock, Su Yinuo arrived at her workstation on time. When she sat down, she felt very embarrassed, but when she looked around, she didn't find anyone who had any objections to her. When she inadvertently met other people's gazes, they were all very kind.

She felt very confused, completely unaware that she had already been dragged into countless small groups for discussions all night.

After all, there are only a few people in the entire company who can make the old chairman come to them in person.

She put the gray gift box Qin Weishu had sent her yesterday into the drawer before starting her work for the day. After a while, her phone vibrated a few times. She received a message from Qin Wangxuan: "Sister-in-law, my brother is in a meeting right now. Can you come out for a moment? Can we meet secretly?"

Su Yinuo frowned and was about to refuse when another message popped up: "I've found out about what my sister-in-law asked me to do yesterday. How's it going? Is it efficient?"

Su Yinuo paused, deleted the rejection message, and replied: Where are you going?

Qin Wangxuan quickly replied: The coffee shop on the 11th floor.

Su Yinuo picked up the phone and left the office.

When they arrived at the coffee shop, Qin Wangxuan was already waiting there. There were few people in the coffee shop. Qin Wangxuan sat in a window seat on the inside with a cynical smile on his face and waved to Su Yinuo.

Su Yinuo had already noticed that Qin Wangxuan had several faces: obedient when facing Qin Weishu, cautious when facing Qin Cangye, hypocritical when facing other subordinates, and frivolous when facing her.

Su Yinuo couldn't understand what kind of person Qin Wangxuan was. She always felt that he was very contradictory, and she also felt that he and Qin Cangye didn't look like brothers at all.

It's undeniable that Qin Wangxuan is also handsome. But unlike Qin Cangye's exquisitely sharp, aggressively flamboyant beauty, Qin Wangxuan's face is so gentle that it seems to have no edges or corners at all. Only occasionally, a sinister chill would suddenly flash across those seemingly frivolous eyes.

Su Yinuo walked over, kept a distance and sat across from him, saying, "Go ahead, tell me quickly, I have to go back to work soon."

"Why is my sister-in-law's face so cold?" Qin Wangxuan tilted his head with his chin propped up, and said with a smile: "You won't treat my brother like this too, will you? My brother shouldn't like this gossip, right? Otherwise, his beautiful assistant would have taken over long ago."

Su Yinuo was speechless.

"Come, sister-in-law, eat something sweet to feel better," Qin Wangxuan pushed over a piece of exquisite tiramisu cake.

Su Yinuo had no intention of arguing with him, so she forced out a rather sweet smile and asked, "Can you tell me now, Young Master Qin Wangxuan?"

"Wow, sister-in-law is so sweet!" Qin Wangxuan's eyes lit up, and after shouting exaggeratedly, he scooped up a spoonful of cake and handed it to Su Yinuo's mouth.

Su Yinuo frowned and said, "I don't want to eat. Let's get down to business."

Qin Wangxuan remained motionless, the smile on his face slowly faded, his eyes dimmed, and he only said one word: "Eat."

Su Yinuo's heart sank slightly, and she opened her mouth unconsciously.

Qin Wangxuan immediately put his smile back on his face, put the spoon into Su Yinuo's mouth, wiped her lips very slowly before taking it back, and then, he actually put the spoon into his own mouth.

Su Yinuo was so surprised that she swallowed the cake in her mouth. A chill ran down her spine, and she urged, "If you don't tell me, I'm leaving!"

"Sister-in-law is so sweet."

Qin Wangxuan stared at Su Yinuo and narrowed his eyes. Seeing that Su Yinuo was really about to get angry, he quickly talked about business and told Su Yinuo all the information he had obtained from the servants.

As Su Yinuo listened, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, with deep worry on her face.

"But I feel something is not right," Qin Wangxuan regained his serious expression, "Sister-in-law, please don't worry about it. How long ago did this happen? My grandfather definitely didn't have any good intentions when he brought this up. Just don't worry about it."

Qin Wangxuan did not tell Su Yinuo about the conversation between Qin Weishu and Lao Yan, because he did not understand the meaning of Qin Weishu's words at all, and was afraid that if he said too much, Su Yinuo would think too much.

Su Yinuo was silent for a moment, then nodded worriedly and said, "Thank you for telling me this. Also, please don't tell anyone, including Qin Cangye, that I asked you these questions."

"Okay, we have a secret between us, sister-in-law," Qin Wangxuan said with a smile.

Su Yinuo, who was preoccupied with her affairs, ignored Qin Wangxuan's frivolous behavior and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute, sister-in-law," Qin Wangxuan immediately stood up and blocked Su Yinuo's way. His hand rested on the back of the chair behind Su Yinuo, as if he was holding her in his arms.

Su Yinuo quickly took a step back and asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, just a gift. It's not too much to ask for a gift after telling you such important information, right?"

Qin Wangxuan smiled and cast his gaze upon the scarf around Su Yinuo's neck. He felt that the scarf must be warm and must have been stained with the scent of her body. His Adam's apple rolled, and he reached out his hand, easily hooking off her scarf and holding it in his hand.

Then, his pupils shrank sharply, staring at the mottled kiss marks on Su Yinuo's neck, and exclaimed excitedly: "Wow... It's wonderful!"

Su Yinuo pushed him away with a grim expression and ran out. She covered her neck and ran into the elevator. Then she pulled off her hair tie and used her long hair to cover her neck.

After returning to the office, she sat at her workstation for a long time, thinking about what Qin Wangxuan had told her.

If Qin Wangxuan had not lied to her, Li Ruyin was indeed pushed down by Qin Cangye.

But no matter how Su Yinuo thought about it, she found it unbelievable.

She always thought that Qin Cangye loved his mother very much. From the words in their previous conversations, she could always feel Qin Cangye's love and deep longing for his mother.

She also knew that Li Ruyin loved Qin Cangye very much. A woman who had been abused so much would never leave the cage that held her captive for one reason: she couldn't bear to leave her child.

So, how could Qin Cangye yell at Li Ruyin? How could he lose control and push Li Ruyin down the stairs?

There must have been something strange about what happened back then.

If she wanted to find out, she had to uncover Qin Cangye's scars. She had to put on that scarlet plaid skirt to test his reaction and face the truth of that year with him.

Su Yinuo unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair, deciding to find a suitable opportunity, wait until Qin Cangye's emotions were more stable, before addressing this matter. She wasn't going to ignore it as Qin Wangxuan had suggested, because this was a root cause in Qin Cangye's heart, a time bomb that could explode at any time. She had to help him completely break free of the psychological trauma that had affected him for over a decade.

-

At noon, someone came to Su Yinuo's table and invited her with a smile, "Nunuo, let's go to the restaurant for dinner together?"

"Sorry, you go first," Su Yinuo turned over her phone and declined awkwardly, "I have a plan to write, and I have to go look after Vice President Qin's hamster later."

"All right."

After the man left, Su Yinuo turned over her phone and looked at the message and photos Qin Cangye had just sent her: "What would you like to eat today? Are these okay?"

Su Yinuo laughed unconsciously and replied: It's all fine, they all look delicious. I'll be busy for a while and will be right up.

Wang Yiliu's task for Su Yinuo today was to organize the minutes of yesterday's meeting and write an action plan based on them. Su Yinuo had no idea how to write, and even looking at the example Wang Yiliu gave her was too much for her.

She knew that Wang Yiliu would not report the plan written by her, a newcomer, to his superiors, but just wanted her to learn from it. However, she still did not want to be perfunctory and wanted to study it seriously, so that she could at least write a framework.

So she threw herself into it completely, forgetting the time until Qin Cangye called.

"Nuo Nuo, why haven't you come yet? The hamster is almost starving to death," Qin Cangye's voice was very depressed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be there right away," Su Yinuo was a little amused and immediately ran out of the office with her cell phone.

As soon as the door of the suite was opened, Su Yinuo was embraced by a tall figure. Before she could say anything, she was picked up and turned around to lean against the closed door.

A passionate kiss followed, and warm breaths filled the air. Su Yinuo felt the eagerness of the man in front of her. Although she still couldn't understand why Qin Cangye's desire was so strong, why he seemed to be enduring pain at noon even though they had done it once in the morning, she didn't refuse. She opened her mouth to respond and raised her arms to hook them around his neck.

Her lips were tightly sealed, yet water still seeped out from the corners. Her mouth was constantly swept by that powerful tongue, and whenever she extended her tongue, it was constantly entangled and sucked. Her chest was pressed against his strong chest, and her back was also pressed by that broad palm. His other hand seemed to be gently teasing sensitive areas such as her ears. Before long, Su Yinuo began to tremble uncontrollably, and she could not help but feel the desire that made her whole body begin to soften.

"Ah...Qin Cangye..." In between breaths, she tilted her head back and let out an alluring gasp.

Qin Cangye shuddered violently, then immediately turned around and carried her into the dim bedroom with the curtains drawn.

It was clearly noon, but Su Yinuo felt as if she were in the dark evening before a rainstorm, thrown into the turbulent sea...

After a long time, she rubbed his hot lips, listened to his heavy breathing, and asked softly: "Is it okay? Let's... let's go eat?"

He licked and kissed her earlobe, and asked sadly, "Nuo Nuo, you seem very reluctant. Are you unwilling, or are you uncomfortable?"

"No," Su Yinuo said quickly, "I'm not unwilling nor uncomfortable, it's just..." She was a little embarrassed, "It's just a little too frequent, and there's not much time at noon, and I have work in the afternoon..."

"Frequently?" Qin Cangye looked at the beautiful, lovely, and alluring person in his arms, caressing her hot, soft cheeks. He felt that even the frequent words she spoke of could not quench the surging desire for her in his heart. He didn't dare to say that he really wanted to rub the person in his arms into his body at all times.

So he ignored these two words and asked instead, "You seem very busy? You're a newcomer, how could you be busier than me?"

Su Yinuo said shamefully: "I'm just too stupid. I don't know many things."

Qin Cangye's eyes flickered, and he realized he had neglected Su Yinuo's difficulties. He had originally given her to Wang Yiliu with the intention of letting her protect her, but he had forgotten how rigid Wang Yiliu was. He apologized, "I'm sorry, I was negligent. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. I'll talk to Wang Yiliu and give you the privilege."

"No," Su Yinuo frowned, rubbed Qin Cangye's face in dissatisfaction, and said with a pout: "I don't want any privileges. Since you let me come, I have to learn something!"

"Okay then," Qin Cangye smiled, picked Su Yinuo up from the bed, and walked to the dining table. "Then I'll teach you, while we eat. Our Assistant Su, what is there that he doesn't know?"

"Our Vice President Qin, can you please put on some clothes before talking?" Su Yinuo said speechlessly.

"No rush," Qin Cangye laughed.

"By the way, I've been wanting to ask you," Qin Cangye touched Su Yinuo's neck, "Where's the handkerchief I put on you this morning?"

"The office heater was too hot, so I untied it..." Su Yinuo was a little panicked, but fortunately Qin Cangye didn't take it to heart.

-

In the afternoon, Qin Cangye, who was reviewing a plan in the office, clicked on the flashing chat software on his computer. He ignored the annoying questions and requests from his subordinates and directly clicked on the cute little hamster avatar.

——Look, is it okay to write the outline like this?

Qin Cangye opened the document sent by the little hamster and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

——That’s very good, great progress!

He was not stingy with the praise, and after praising her, in order not to appear too perfunctory, he immediately replied:

——There are a few inappropriate parts. Let me correct them for you. Wait a moment.

The little hamster sent a few emoticons showing love, and Qin Cangye smiled even more happily.

After annotating Su Yinuo's proposal outline and sending it over, Wang Yilu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Vice President Qin, please take a look at this project," she handed Qin Cangye a due diligence report on an investment project. "This project has huge loopholes and risks. You rejected it before, but they actually came to President Qin. Now that President Qin has signed, what do you think we should do?"

Qin Cangye took the report, glanced at it, frowned, stood up and said, "I'll go find him."

When he arrived at the door of Qin Wangxuan's office, Qin Cangye didn't even knock, but pushed the door open directly.

Qin Wangxuan was the only one in the office. He was lazily resting his legs on his desk, leaning back in his office chair. He was holding something in his hand, which he put to his lips and sniffed deeply, looking both enjoying and intoxicated.

Qin Cangye was so angry that he was startled by his sudden intrusion, and Qin Wangxuan quickly put down his legs.

Qin Cangye strode in with a serious expression, but when he saw clearly what Qin Wangxuan was holding in his hand, he suddenly stopped.

Confusion and disbelief clouded his mind, pain seeping out from his wild guesses, eating away at his nerves, causing his hands to tremble and his panic and anger to rapidly boil over.

Because, in Qin Wangxuan's hand was the square scarf he had tied on Su Yinuo.
