“If you’re smart, you’ll keep me company tonight. Maybe, if I’m in a good mood, we can forget all about this!”
As Mr. Chen spoke, his hand was already rudely wandering to Qin Youxuan’s waist.
“Mr. Chen, please show some respect!”
Qin Youxuan pushed his hand away and stepped back.
“As I said before, Mr. Chen made the first move on me last night. I only defended myself out of desperation. I came here today out of concern for your condition. Mr. Chen, you are a married man, you’d better behave. Otherwise, I, I…”
As she spoke, Qin Youxuan’s attitude softened, and she lowered her head slightly.
Her unspeakable vulnerability provoked sympathy.
Seeing her , Chen Chuang was elated.
“Why mention that faded old woman? She’s a sore sight. Don’t worry. If you’re with me, I guarantee that the Qin Family’s affairs will be my affairs. No one will be able to steal the Qin Family’s wealth from you!”
Qin Youxuan kept her head down, unable to respond.
In the surveillance room.
“Mr. Jie, it seems Miss Qin might agree to Chen Chuang’s terms.” Yao glanced at the man sitting in front of the monitor, whose eyes were growing darker by the minute, and raised an eyebrow.
“A cornered cat could even bite a man. Seeing her so obedient isn’t something I’m used to.” The man’s seductive gaze scanned the crestfallen Qin Youxuan on the screen, drawing a sinister smile on his face.
He casually raised his hand, playing with the pinky ring on his left hand.
“Do you need me to intervene?”
“No need, I want to see what she’s planning to do.” Dan Hanjie coldly cut him off, shifting his gaze back to the monitor, focusing intently on the woman in the frame, eyes narrowed.
“What other objections do you have? I’m telling you, even if you tell the whole world that I molested you first, no one would believe you. Aren’t you curious about why the lobby surveillance at Zhi Shang broke down so conveniently? I’ll tell you now, I arranged it. If you want me to drop the charges, you have to sell yourself to me. There’s no other way!”
Annoyed by the tantalizing beauty in front of him but unable to touch her, Chen Chuang had lost his patience.
He lunged at Qin Youxuan as soon as the words left his mouth.
Anticipating his movement, Qin Youxuan swiftly dodged his hand.
She suddenly raised her head; her proud eyes filled with laughter, the vulnerable demeanor from before was completely gone.
“Mr. Chen, I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in your offer. Also, out of care for you, I’d like to remind you that people who constantly play with fire will eventually get burned. I heard that Chuangmei’s prosperity can be attributed to your wife’s family. Your actions might make your wife feel cold.”
Qin Youxuan sneered and looked at the wily old man in front of her, barely able to resist taking off her high heels and bashing him until he’s bloody.
Despite being married, he was still flirting around, acting like a sex machine?
Just over forty years old and already bald, probably due to excessive indulgence in his desires.
Because of her mother’s tragic death, Qin Youxuan had always hated men who fooled around behind their wives’ backs. Now, facing one, her fury was uncontrollable.
“This conversation isn’t going anywhere. I came here out of goodwill to see you, Mr. Chen. Apparently, I misunderstood. I’ll take my leave now, hoping never to meet again.”
Qin Youxuan pulled back her hand, picked up her bag, and elegantly stepped out of the ward under the astonished gaze of Mr. Chen.
“Qin Youxuan, I warn you, if you dare to walk out of that door today, I will make sure you end up behind bars! Even if you strip naked and crawl into my bed, don’t think I’ll touch you!”
