Chapter 17 Chapter 17 He likes you, right?
Qin Mian's hand was held too tightly by him, and his aggressive gaze fell on her neck as if it were real, feeling like it was burning her.
Although the marks on her neck were indeed bitten by a man, it was her own problem.
What does it have to do with him?
Qin Mian thought his reaction was very strange, so she let go of his hand.
However, he seemed to be competing with her. The more she tried to let go, the tighter he held her.
Qin Mian's wrist began to ache, and he felt even more puzzled. He raised his head and looked at him in confusion.
Si Tu also raised his eyes and looked at her.
One was filled with resentment, the other with doubt.
For a moment, Si Tu even wanted to kiss her on the mouth.
When his gaze moved to her lips, Qin Mian subconsciously moved his own gaze, as if he had noticed something.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, at this time, the sales consultant came back.
"Two of you..." The salesperson stopped talking and his footsteps also stopped, his high heels making a sharp sound on the floor.
Qin Mian instinctively pursed his lips and struggled to open Si Tu's hand.
In front of outsiders, Si Tu didn't continue to pester her.
His empty hand paused in mid-air for a moment before he turned around and sat back in his seat.
Qin Mian's face was flushed and burning. He lowered his head and looked at the contract in his hand in a panic.
The sales consultant paused for a long time, and when he saw that the two had almost recovered, he carefully walked forward again and continued to discuss the car purchase with them.
**
After completing the car purchase procedures, the two had dinner at a nearby restaurant.
After dinner, Si Tu said he wanted to take her somewhere.
"Does it count...as work?" Qin Mian confirmed this with him again.
If it's work and she gets overtime pay, she can go, but if it's a private event, then she won't go.
She finally got a vacation, and she didn't want to be a free laborer for her boss.
Si Tu had already stood up from his seat. He turned around and saw her sitting on the chair, still wondering whether to go or not. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay." He knew what she was thinking and emphasized it to her, "I'll pay you for overtime."
"Oh, that's fine." Qin Mian smiled and stood up from his chair.
Si Tu looked at her with both amusement and helplessness, then smiled and shook his head.
About an hour later, the two arrived at the seaside pier.
There are many tourists on the pier, and large and small cruise ships, ships and motorboats are entering and leaving Haikou, making it extremely lively and vibrant.
There were a large number of luxury yachts docked in that part of the bay, and one of them, the one closest to the boarding point, had a heart followed by the letter X printed on its hull.
Whose love is this testimony to?
Qin Mian was just curious when Si Tu led her here and stopped. Then he turned around and stretched out his hand to her, "Come."
The sea was surging and the yacht seemed to be shaking a little. Qin Mian had never been on a yacht before, so he might not be able to adapt to it.
But she subconsciously put her hands behind her back, shook her head, smiled, and said, "I can do it myself."
Si Tu rarely took the initiative and was rejected. His hand paused in the air for a long time, and he twitched the corner of his lip, "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around, raised his foot, and stepped onto the ladder.
Qin Mian followed behind carefully.
After going up, Qin Mian found that there was no special shaking feeling. Perhaps it was the ups and downs of the sea water outside, and the reference object gave people a shaking feeling.
The interior of the cabin is very luxurious, and the main color is white, the same as the outside, which looks high-end and clean.
When the two of them entered, there were already people inside. A man and a woman. The man was holding the woman's waist, smiling and saying something to her. She raised her head as if she was amused by him, her face flushed, and her posture was very coquettish.
Si Tu laughed and jokingly said, "Do we need to avoid suspicion?"
The two turned around when they heard the voice. Qin Mian recognized the man; it was Shen Muzhou, whom he had met before. As for the woman...
Her eyes fell on the girl, and coincidentally, the other party also gave her a strange look.
Shen Muzhou responded to Si Tu's joke with a smile, then supported the girl in front of him and introduced her to Qin Mian.
"Meet me, this is my wife, Jiang Xin."
Qin Mian suddenly understood why there was a heart and the letter X engraved on the yacht.
“This is…” When introducing Qin Mian, Shen Muzhou paused and looked at Si Tu.
He could more or less tell that Si Tu was interested in Qin Mian, but he was still unsure about how far their relationship had progressed.
Today was a private gathering with friends, and he had said he would bring his wife, but Si Tu ended up bringing Qin Mian instead.
This is very interesting.
"My name is Qin Mian." Before Si Tu could answer, Qin Mian had already extended his hand to Mrs. Shen, "I'm Mr. Si's secretary."
"Ah, is it the secretary?" Jiang Xin was a little surprised. After shaking her hand, he also looked at Si Tu.
Apparently, she had the same idea as her husband and thought this was his girlfriend.
Si Tu put his hands in his pockets and raised the corner of his lip in an ambiguous way.
"Yes." Qin Mian answered for him again, "It's an honor to meet you."
Jiang Xin turned around, looked at her, and smiled, "I'm honored to meet you, too."
**
After the four people gathered, the yacht started and headed towards the open sea.
The experience of riding on a luxury yacht is great. If it weren't for the sea breeze blowing in through the small windows and the waves flying behind you when you look out, you would hardly feel that it is sailing.
The cabin is spacious and well-equipped, like a luxuriously decorated living room.
On both sides of the main sofa are two short sofas without armrests. The Shen couple sat on one of them, with the husband hugging his wife, looking very intimate.
Si Tu sat down on the seat opposite the two of them, and the only seat left was a large main sofa.
With Qin Mian's status, it was not appropriate for him to sit there, and he looked a little unsure of what to do.
Si Tu slightly arched his back, rested his elbows on his knees, raised his eyes slightly and looked towards her.
"What are you standing there for?"
The couple opposite heard the sound and looked over.
Qin Mian felt even more embarrassed and cramped. Si Tu curled his lips into a smile, revealing a bit of malice, and said, "Why don't you come over here quickly?"
As he spoke, he stood up and changed his posture, crossing his legs, leaning back slightly, and spreading his hands on the sofa. He looked calm and composed, and patted the empty seat next to him, "Sit here."
The couple opposite immediately looked at the two of them with amusement, and there was obvious ambiguity in their eyes.
Qin Mian couldn't just stand there like this, so after hesitating for a moment, he simply pretended to be calm, pulled the corner of his lips slightly, said okay, then walked to his side and sat down along the edge.
The couple opposite kept looking back and forth between the two of them, with an expression of being upset, wanting to say something but stopping themselves, suppressing their gossipy curiosity.
At this time, the service staff served refreshing fruit tea and some exquisite desserts.
Si Tu chatted casually with the Shen couple, and the topic brought up Qin Mian from time to time. Qin Mian joined in naturally, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed and was filled with laughter.
The yacht reached a certain position and stopped.
The driver came over to report to Shen Muzhou, and it was almost five o'clock.
The sun outside was not so hot anymore, so Chen Muzhou invited Si Tu to go sea fishing. The two ladies had nothing to do, so they went to the deck with him.
"Ah, it's still too sunny." Jiang Xin raised his hand to cover his forehead.
Shen Muzhou turned his head and said, “Then you and Secretary Qin go back inside.”
"No." Jiang Xin took his arm and thought for a moment, "I'll go back and spray some sunscreen."
Having said that, she turned around and asked Qin Mian if he wanted to join.
Maybe it was due to the reflection of the sea water, but Qin Mian felt that the sun on the sea was even more intense than on land. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."
Then, she followed Jiang Xin into the bed cabin.
Jiang Xin pulled a bag onto the sofa, then dug out the sunscreen spray from inside and sprayed it on herself and Qin Mian.
"Is Si Tu pursuing you?" She couldn't help but ask casually out of curiosity.
Qin Mian was startled, "Why would you ask that?"
"Today is a private party." Jiang Xin put away the sunscreen spray. In fact, she wanted to say that judging from the details of Si Tu's interactions with her, he did not treat her as a simple secretary.
Qin Mian disagreed, "He must be worried about being alone and feeling a little embarrassed."
Just like before, when Si Tu took her to another private party, wasn't it just to use her as a shield and deliberately let Miss Zhao misunderstand?
Today my friends are a couple, and I am alone. It might be a bit awkward to watch others being affectionate.
"Why is he embarrassed?" Jiang Xin denied her statement, "We have known each other for many years and were in the same class in high school."
Qin Mian listened and fell silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered his reaction when he discovered the kiss mark on her neck at the car dealership that morning...
Logically speaking, as a boss, he shouldn't be so curious and responsive to his subordinates' private lives.
It was a bit strange to think about it, Qin Mian frowned slightly.
"He likes you, right?" Jiang Xin then said, and took out sunglasses and a bag from her bag to share with her, "Which one do you want?"
Qin Mian came back to his senses and said, "Sunglasses."
"Okay." Jiang Xin gave her the sunglasses, put on his hat, then stood up, took her hand, and went to the deck outside again.
Just then, the waiter brought some food to the deck.
There was a plate next to each of the two men, with two glasses of iced drinks and some fruit desserts on them.
Jiang Xin ran to her husband, squatted down beside him, put her arm around his shoulders, and fed him fruit.
Si Tu turned his head to take a look, then turned the other way and looked at Qin Mian.
Qin Mian had just sat down cross-legged next to him and reached out to take a drink from the tray when she suddenly heard Si Tu calling her.
And he didn't call her Secretary Qin, but called her by her full name.
Qin Mian looked up in confusion. Si Tu was also wearing sunglasses, looking very handsome and aggressive. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "I'm a little thirsty. I want to drink something."
Qin Mian glanced at the fishing rod in his hand, said "oh" instinctively, and then handed the drink to his mouth.
The cup came with a straw, and was a little shaken by the sea breeze. Qin Mian carefully helped to stabilize it.
Si Tu twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and when he opened his mouth to bite out the straw, his soft lips accidentally touched her fingers.
Qin Mian was a little embarrassed and took his hand away immediately.
At this moment, the corners of Si Tu's lips couldn't help but rise wildly.
He smiled so brightly that Qin Mian's eyes fell on the smile on the corner of his lips, and he suddenly remembered the question Jiang Xin had asked her just now.
Yeah?
Does he like her?
