Wang You's face remained expressionless: "I'm not quite sure. Should I call President Qin now and ask?"
"No, no need."
Shi Leyao was somewhat absent-minded after the man left with Qin Yue's bag.
No one would know that after learning that President Qin was her boss, she spent her time off today watching a lot of edited videos about "Heartbeat is Action".
I just got into the "renewed CP" fandom.
In other words, they are fans of the Qin Yue and Wen Xu couple.
Just a few hours later, she was told that the couple she shipped was fake?
Woohoo—
I'm so sad.
I even joined a small group myself.
If she were to say in the group chat that the CP they're shipping is fake, would she be kicked out as a toxic fan?
She took out her phone and, when no one was looking, her fingers flew across the screen.
The pairings I ship are absolutely real: folks, is it possible that we're shipping the wrong pairings?
—An undercover agent sent by the rival?
—A solo stan has infiltrated?
—Who brought in this traitor?
—Using a secondary account to speak, you've only been here a few hours and you can't wait any longer?
—It seems they know that their master doesn't want to see this person.
—If you want to stan other things, go outside and stan them.
Where is the administrator?
—Hurry up and kick them out.
People in the group spammed her with insults, and the next second she was kicked out of the group.
Lu Yanci approached, carrying Qin Yue's handbag.
Qin Yue whispered her thanks.
"I'll take you," he said in a deep voice.
"No need to trouble you, I've already contacted the driver, and the car will stop in front of the restaurant."
"fine."
He didn't intend to give her the bag.
Qin Yue: "You must be here for a business dinner, right? Isn't it a bit much to be out for so long?"
"It's nothing, just a few old friends having dinner together, they won't mind." He then looked at her ankle, frowning, and said, "It's swollen, you should probably go to the hospital to get it checked out."
After saying that, he added, "I'm sorry for the offense."
Offending...what?
Before Qin Yue could react, he had already scooped her up by her knees and lifted her into his arms.
She was startled, and instinctively wrapped one hand around the back of his neck.
A faint, woody fragrance lingers around the nose.
It was his scent.
Qin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, she could see his clear and smooth jawline: "I can walk by myself."
His strong arms held her firmly in his embrace, his eyes fixed ahead: "The injury to your foot will worsen."
Despite appearing calm, his arms around her were stiff, and he dared not lower his head at all.
His heart pounded like a startled rabbit, and he was worried that she would notice something was wrong.
He carried her down the elevator, through the lobby, and towards the hotel entrance.
When someone looked over, Qin Yue could only deceive herself by turning her head away to cover her face.
Driver Uncle Chen was already waiting in front of the car.
Uncle Chen had worked for the Qin family for over ten years, and his character was absolutely trustworthy. It was precisely because of this that Qin's father hired a new driver to drive for him.
Uncle Chen followed Qin Yue.
I watched as Qin Yue was carried out.
Even Uncle Chen, who considered himself rational and calm enough, was stunned for a moment.
They only realized what was wrong when the two people got close enough. They quickly opened the car door and asked with concern, "Miss Yueyue, what happened?"
Lu Yanci placed the person directly in the back seat.
She awkwardly tugged at her clothes, and changed the subject as she answered Uncle Chen's question: "I accidentally twisted my ankle, please take me home first."
Just as Uncle Chen was about to suggest that it would be better to go to the hospital for a checkup, someone else spoke up.
"You should go to the hospital for a check-up after twisting your ankle to be on the safe side."
Uncle Chen chimed in, "President Lu is right. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so we can't be careless."
Going to the hospital was one thing, but Lu Yanci was the one accompanying her.
Qin Yue pinched the bridge of her nose.
Lu Yanci, who had been keeping an eye on her out of the corner of his eye, quickly asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
"It's okay, I don't feel any pain if I don't move."
She remembered something and called Wang You, telling her about Tangyuan'er mentioning seeing her father at the restaurant.
I had just hung up the phone when another call came in.
Qin Xu.
Judging from the arm, at this time, the live stream should still be going on.
Qin Yue did not answer.
Less than two minutes later, another call came in.
It is warm.
They exchanged contact information during the show.
A thoughtful look crossed her eyes before she answered the call.
"Junior Sister Qin Yue."
The call wasn't on speakerphone, but in the cramped car, Lu Yanci could hear every word clearly.
The other person greeted her first, asked if she had eaten, and then asked if she was busy and if it was convenient for her to talk. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said, "Junior Sister Qin Yue, I want to say... I like you."
Qin Yue's nonchalant expression vanished.
The atmosphere inside the car suddenly changed.
It added a touch of coolness.
Lu Yanci's brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly; his eyes, deep as the sea beneath his glasses, suddenly unleashed a dark storm.
The fingers resting on the knees tightened inch by inch, as if one could hear a creaking sound.
The fans watching the live stream went wild.
One comment after another was posted on the screen.
Qin Yue didn't answer Qin Xu's call, but immediately answered the movie star's! What does this mean? It means the "renewed couple" relationship is real!
If they aren't real, then I am fake.
[It's just a punishment for losing a game, why are you all acting like it's really that serious?]
Stop pretending to be blind. The punishment was clearly a choice between two options, and the other one was much simpler. Yet you chose this punishment that would cause scandals and damage his career. What else could it be but true love?
[They promised to find a partner, but if they didn't, they could just say it was a game. Awesome!]
The way his Adam's apple bobbed not only accentuated his sex appeal, but also revealed the tension, unease, and anxiety he felt at that moment.
Wen Xu was indeed nervous.
Although he called it a game, he knew very well that it was just a way for him to express his feelings to her, showing his timidity and cowardice in front of her.
Some of the guests on the show, who were sitting in a circle, lowered their eyes sadly.
Some of them had an excited, gossipy glint in their eyes.
Qin Xuming knew his sister would never accept his confession, so his lips turned pale and he was in a tense state.
But what if?
He wondered why his sister answered Wen Xu's call but not his.
Wen Xu exchanged a few words with her.
He was the younger brother she had protected for over ten years.
He did something wrong, but he's already moved out, isn't that enough?
Why are you still ignoring me?
