Chapter 72 The So-Called Trust



Their gazes met in the air, and he felt as if something had touched his heart.

Lu Yanci was completely powerless against her.

The man's fingers twitched slightly, wanting to cover those beautiful eyes that could confuse his mind, yet he couldn't bear to conceal her unique charm.

The hands resting on the knees eventually tightened inch by inch, curling into fists.

He said, "I just wanted to improve my image in front of my girlfriend."

She was speechless for a moment.

She didn't need to ask Lu Yanci how he would handle it; she believed that with his abilities, he would definitely handle it better than she would.

"If you don't find it troublesome, then I'll leave it to you."

"Extremely happy to."

Qin Yue sighed softly, "I always thought Mr. Lu was a man of few words, not the kind of person who would say something to make his girlfriend happy."

"I can't learn sweet talk or flattery; I can only try to show that I'm a good boyfriend by helping my girlfriend solve problems and other behaviors." He said sincerely.

Qin Yue was momentarily distracted as she gazed into the man's deep eyes.

"I just touched the cat, I hope you don't mind."

"Hmm?" he asked, puzzled.

Qin Yue's ears turned bright red. She placed the cat on the bench, her slender fingers resting on his arm. Noticing the sudden taut lines under her palm, her heart skipped a beat.

With one hand, she took off his glasses, hooked them between her index fingers, and gently covered his eyes.

She leaned down and planted a kiss on his lips. As their breaths mingled, she let out another soft sigh: "Lu Yanci, you're just too good to be true."

No, he's not good.

He harbored selfish motives.

From the very beginning, they coveted the bright moon.

They wanted to possess the moon.

Only then can he be considered to have gotten what he wanted.

She once said that she should follow her heart.

His large, well-defined hand forcefully embraced her slender waist, pulling her close to him, while his other hand precisely controlled the back of her head, leaving her no room to retreat.

He also learned to push his luck.

Qin Yue was forced to endure his aggressive advances.

She was forced to retreat step by step, while the man pressed closer and closer.

They were completely overwhelmed.

Her fingers unconsciously gripped his arm tightly, as if her nails were digging into it.

All that's gained is a moment to catch one's breath.

...

Back home, Qin Yue, feeling guilty, covered her mouth and shouted into her parents' room that she was back before hurrying upstairs.

Although her parents' room has a view of the outside, they certainly wouldn't be staring at it all the time.

Even if you stare at it, you can't see what's inside the car.

Therefore, no one else will see the goodnight kiss when I get off the bus.

She leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

She rushed to the bathroom and washed her face to cool down. When she looked up, she was startled by her own appearance. Her eyes looked as if they had been washed with water, glistening with moisture. Her bare face looked as if she had applied blush, white with a pinkish tinge. Not to mention her lips, which were terribly swollen and red.

Lu Yanci sent her a message saying he had arrived home.

Qin Yue was surprised: So fast.

The other party sent her a location.

Qin Yue opened it and sat up straight. How could it be only 796 meters?

Before she could ask, another voice message came through: I moved out of my family home and there happens to be a property nearby.

Qin Yue pinched the bridge of her nose.

It's about a ten-minute walk, or just a quick tap on the gas pedal in a car.

Great, if her dad finds out, he'll definitely change the curfew to 7 o'clock.

Just as she was thinking, Lu Yanci called her via video.

Suddenly my phone felt hot to the touch.

Qin Yue sat in front of her dressing table, took a deep breath, and answered the call. She was a little uneasy at first, but she immediately relaxed after seeing that the person in the video wasn't staring at their phone screen.

The camera is shaky.

He was the one fixing the phone.

He was in his study, with his laptop in front of him.

The camera is angled at him.

Good-looking people are good-looking from any angle.

Qin Yue sat down in front of the dressing table, propped her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on the back of her hand. Looking at his cold and stern expression, and hearing the sound of typing on the keyboard, she asked with interest, "Are you busy with work, or with my business?"

Lu Yanci's calm voice rang out: "I asked my assistant to investigate some matters concerning Qi Jingchen and Jiang Qingtang. He has made some progress and sent it to me for review."

"I have some other things on hand, shall I send them to you together?"

Lu Yanci didn't ask what she had in her hands, and directly said that it wasn't necessary: ​​"The information I had someone investigate is enough. You don't need to pay attention to these things, and you won't be reading any comments online tonight. Leave everything to me."

She gave a soft "hmm".

Hearing the rustling of branches and the howling wind outside the window, and the curtains suddenly billowing up, Qin Yue quickly went over to close the window.

Lu Yanci stopped what he was doing and got up to close the window.

He sat back down, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, and pushed up his gold-rimmed square glasses perched on his nose with his index finger.

A simple, casual gesture actually exudes a certain air of refined scoundrel.

Qin Yue thought to herself.

The other person suddenly glanced at the camera.

She subconsciously looked away, then belatedly realized that she hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she feel guilty?

Lu Yanci didn't notice her unusual behavior, nor did he sense her emotional fluctuations through the screen. He asked seriously, "It's going to rain heavily tomorrow. Do you want to stay home and rest for the day?"

That's exactly what she meant.

If the issues online aren't resolved, many people at the company will likely look at her strangely.

"You'll have to work on both sides tomorrow, thank you."

She didn't disturb Lu Yanci's work any further, told him to get some rest, and then hung up the phone.

As Qin Yue was carrying her change of clothes and about to go wash up, she saw her phone screen light up.

I glanced at it.

A message from Tong Xueyi.

Since she left the show, the two have had very little contact.

She mentioned on the show that if the other party wanted to terminate the contract, they could contact her, but Tong Xueyi did not bring it up again afterward.

Qin Yue didn't ask her either.

I never expected her to message me at this crucial moment.

The other party asked directly: "Ms. Qin, I have already terminated my contract with the company. I wonder if you would still be willing to sign me?"

Qin Yue called back.

A few seconds later, the other party answered the phone.

Qin Yue didn't mince words: "I think you've seen some of the comments online. Aren't you afraid that signing with my company at this time might have a negative impact on you?"

"I'm afraid, but I trust my judgment of people, and I'm more inclined to believe in Miss Qin's character."

Tong Xueyi paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"The contract termination issue has just been resolved, and I was originally planning to contact you again in a couple of days. The reason I'm contacting you now is that I'm hoping to curry favor with you."

Tong Xueyi's words were half true and half false.

It's true that I planned to contact you again in a couple of days, but I suddenly changed my mind. I never intended to sell to you.

She just wanted to let this Ms. Qin know that not everyone believes what they hear online.

"Trust me, and I won't let you down."
