Chapter 203 Are you scared?
Qu Jianhang said, "I once met your father and your... stepmother at a banquet."
Pei Muye smiled faintly.
A person like Qu Jianhang is always the object of flattery and fawning, no matter what kind of gathering he attends.
Even high society circles are divided into classes.
Although Pei Muye is at the top of the pyramid, Pei Muye is his father and is also respected.
But Zhou Yusu didn't have that kind of luck.
She was in her second marriage to Pei Yaohai; she was neither Pei Muye's biological mother nor did her family have any significant background.
She had a son, but her relationship with Pei Muye was just so-so.
Even if she were Madam Pei, with such a status, she wouldn't attract much attention when she went out.
But Qu Jianhang is different.
First of all, the Qu family is not simple, not to mention that Qu Jianhang himself is also very capable.
So at that banquet, Zhou Yusu tried repeatedly to get close to Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang wasn't the type to be insincere with people, and besides, she had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that Zhou Yusu was dishonest, so she didn't want to bother with her at all.
Zhou Yusu was met with indifference, but didn't even dare to complain. When she got home, she complained to Pei Yaohai, who then scolded her.
It means, who are they, who are you, and why should they bother with you?
Zhou Yusu was so angry that she didn't eat for two meals.
Of course, Qu Jianhang was unaware of these things, and Pei Muyi was even less aware of them.
Upon hearing that Qu Jianhang had met Zhou Yusu, Pei Muye made no attempt to hide it from him.
He said, "My relationship with her isn't very good, and we won't be living together in the future."
“I don’t care about anything else,” Qu Jianhang said, “as long as Ruan Ruan isn’t wronged.”
"Don't worry, I won't let her suffer any injustice."
"Please pay attention to the wedding arrangements."
"I will."
The meal turned out to be a close call.
It turned out that Qu Jianhang had only come to urge him to get married.
He was overthinking things.
However, he was also puzzled as to why Qu Jianhang would suddenly want them to get married as soon as possible.
Based on her previous attitude, Pei Muye really thought she would make things difficult for him.
Qu Jianhang and Pei Muyi had dinner, but instead of going home, they went directly to the government building.
The building is majestic and imposing, and also extremely solemn.
Qu Jianhang was dressed simply today, wearing a gray turtleneck sweater under a white down jacket with a fluffy collar.
Below are blue jeans.
Judging from her back view alone, you could easily believe she's in her twenties.
She called Yan Chengyu, who was both surprised and delighted, and came down to pick her up.
"You want to go to my office?" Yan Chengyu thought she had come over for something.
To be honest, this wasn't Qu Jianhang's first time here, but it was the first time he was going to his office.
"Can I go?"
"Of course."
Yan Chengyu helped her register before going inside.
Qu Jianhang said, "I thought that with your status, you didn't need to register."
“That’s the system,” Yan Chengyu said. “It doesn’t matter who comes.”
Qu Jianhang pulled his hand away: "I'll walk by myself."
Yan Chengyu stopped and looked at her: "Why can't we hold hands yet?"
"This is your workplace," Qu Jianhang said. "You're the top leader. Do you think it's appropriate for you to lead me in like this?"
"You're my girlfriend," Yan Chengyu said. "Lots of people know that. It's lunch break now, why can't I take you inside?"
Qu Jianhang refused to let him hold her hand and instead put her hands in her down jacket pockets.
Yan Chengyu couldn't do anything about her.
But this was Qu Jianhang's first time entering his office building, and he couldn't help but want to assert his dominance.
But the building was quiet; it was break time, and hardly anyone was around.
He led his men to the third floor, to his office.
Upon entering the office, Qu Jianhang looked around but found nothing particularly unusual.
Nowadays, everyone talks about clean governance, so even the highest-ranking officials won't have luxurious offices.
It's nowhere near as good as her office.
Sitting on the hard sofa, Qu Jianhang said, "It's so rudimentary."
Yan Chengyu brewed her another cup of tea using his own teacup: "It definitely can't compare to what you have there."
He had been to Qu Jianhang's office several times.
However, even someone of his high rank wore a mask when he went there.
But that was before. Now he's with Qu Jianhang, and besides, he's been busy and hasn't been to Qu Jianhang's office in a long time.
In fact, with his status, it's inconvenient for him to go anywhere.
And he's so busy, he's in endless meetings and has to read countless documents all day long.
Even during lunch break, I can only squeeze out ten or twenty minutes to take a nap.
Where can I get a comfortable hour's sleep?
So he was very happy when Qu Jianhang came to see him.
"Have you had lunch?" Yan Chengyu asked her. "Why are you here at this hour? Come earlier next time, and I'll take you to try the food in our cafeteria."
"I've already eaten, I ate with Pei Muyi."
Yan Chengyu smiled; "Having dinner with my future son-in-law?"
"Alright, then you can be considered a prospective son-in-law," Qu Jianhang said. "Next time, I'll try your cafeteria next time."
Upon hearing this, Yan Chengyu immediately laughed and said, "So that means you'll come again? How about this, since you're free this afternoon, you can stay here with me. We won't go out for dinner tonight; we'll just eat at the cafeteria, okay?"
How's the food in your cafeteria?
"Some of the dishes were quite good."
Qu Jianhang said, "You say it's good, but I dare not have any expectations."
The main problem is that Yan Chengyu has no appetite. Sometimes when he's on a business trip and something happens, he can eat cornbread and pickled vegetables with relish.
Qu Jianhang was spoiled from a young age, and after his business succeeded, his life became even more extravagant and refined.
Sometimes she wondered how someone with her personality could end up with Yan Chengyu.
The answer was later found: Yan Chengyu had been accommodating her all along.
She was not wronged in the slightest.
In Yan Chengyu's words, "Given your previous quality of life, there's no reason for you to lower your standards after coming with me."
Yan Chengyu was a truly honest and caring person.
His life had absolutely nothing to do with extravagance.
But Qu Jianhang is completely different from him.
Everyone was quite surprised when they found out he liked Qu Jianhang.
He is very simple and honest, and many people think he may never remarry in his life.
Even if I were to look again, I would choose someone within the system—someone quiet, composed, and elegant.
To everyone's surprise, he went on to pursue Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang is very famous among the wealthy.
It's not just because she's rich, but also because she's an unconventional person.
Yan Chengyu pursued the woman openly, and his close friends and family all knew about it.
At first, countless people tried to persuade him.
They said the two of them weren't a good match.
Qu Jianhang is a strong woman; she definitely wouldn't take care of anyone.
Her life is refined and extravagant, and it won't be good for Yan Chengyu to be with her in the future.
Even his former boss came to talk to him, implying that he and Qu Jianhang were not a good match.
But how could Yan Chengyu be influenced by those words?
He only ever loved one woman in his life, and he only ever had feelings for Qu Jianhang.
Asking him to let go? No way.
Seeing that Yan Chengyu remained unmoved, some of those people actually went to Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang is a man of great stature; how could he possibly comply with their wishes?
At that time, a major flood occurred in a part of China, and many areas were submerged. Qu Jianhang stepped in and donated 100 million yuan.
If a celebrity had donated 100 million yuan, it would have been trending on social media long ago.
Qu Jianhang has always kept a low profile, but when those people came to her again, she simply threw the donation forms in their faces.
Regardless of what she meant, at least those people haven't bothered her again.
Later, Yan Chengyu also learned about the 100 million yuan.
He asked her, half-laughing and half-crying, if that 100 million was donated for him, just to shut those people up.
Qu Jianhang denied it, saying he just wanted to do something out of love.
She would donate money in similar situations before, but never as much as 100 million yuan at once.
The two then got together.
Even now.
Although Yan Chengyu's marriage proposal failed, he was not discouraged. He had long been prepared for failure in this kind of thing. If he didn't succeed once, he would try five times, ten times, or a hundred times.
Anyway, he'll stay by her side.
The two were discussing the cafeteria food when Yan Chengyu smiled and said, "Try it first. If it's not good..."
Qu Jianhang looked at him, resting his chin on his hand: "What if it doesn't taste good? Then I won't come to see you again."
Yan Chengyu said, "If it's not good, I'll have them change the chef."
"Really?" Qu Jianhang laughed: "Wouldn't you call this using your position for personal gain?"
Yan Chengyu said, "I have never abused my power for personal gain in my life. I don't think the organization will punish me for such a small matter."
"So, you're saying you're ruining your reputation for my sake?"
"It's not that serious," Yan Chengyu said. "On the condition that you come to see me often."
He was simply too busy and didn't have much time to spend with Qu Jianhang.
Therefore, he hoped that Qu Jianhang could come to his place when he had time.
“Okay,” Qu Jianhang said. “The New Year is coming soon, and the company isn’t busy, so I’ll come and keep you company every day.”
"Coming every day?" Yan Chengyu was astonished.
He didn't even think about it; such a good thing was happening.
"Yes," Qu Jianhang asked, "Won't it interfere with your work?"
Yan Chengyu thought for a moment, then sighed, "Forget it, even if you come to see me, I don't have time to spend with you. I'll be satisfied if you come every few days."
Aside from meetings, he was either meeting with subordinates or reviewing documents; he had no time to spend with Qu Jianhang.
He would feel bad if he left her here alone, bored.
"It's okay, I can handle company matters with my phone."
Hearing her say that, Yan Chengyu asked, "Really? Coming every day?"
Qu Jianhang smiled at him and said, "How about it? Are you scared? My coming here every day isn't good for you, is it?"
Yan Chengyu has already reached this point, so what impact is there to fear?
Moreover, Qu Jianhang is a provincial-level outstanding entrepreneur, a major taxpayer, and does charity work every year. He also receives various forms of financial support from the government for his projects.
Speaking of which, she's the sugar daddy.
When she came to the government building, the leaders of several departments had to fawn over her.
"Go ahead and come," Yan Chengyu said. "I was afraid you wouldn't come."
Qu Jianhang looked at his office again: "This place is too serious. If I were to kiss you here, I would feel like it's a desecration."
Yan Chengyu glanced at her, then suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and locked it with a click.
Qu Jianhang looked up at him.
He walked back, sat down next to her, put his arm around her, and kissed her.
