How could Qin Muni not see through Wang Ruoran’s intention? It’s obviously leaving no room for her to refuse, forcibly making her accept these gifts.
"Got it, just take them to my office, please. Sorry to trouble you."
Originally thinking she would need to argue with Qin Muni for a while to persuade her to accept, but seeing her agree so easily, Wang Ruoran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly gave a signal to the two bodyguards, indicating for them to hurry and deliver the items to Qin Muni’s office.
"It’s no trouble, we’ll be seeing each other often in the future."
After the bodyguards came out of Qin Muni’s office, Wang Ruoran happily raised her eyebrows at Qin Muni, "Then I won’t disturb you, have a pleasant day."
After Wang Ruoran and the bodyguards left, Qin Muni returned to her office and saw eight large shopping bags placed on the coffee table before the sofa, each bag containing two shoe boxes.
She paced over to the coffee table and before she could take out the shoe box, the phone in her hand buzzed.
She unlocked the phone and checked the message she just received—[If the shoes are not to your liking, remember to tell me. I’ll have Secretary Wang buy more pairs next time. Don’t mistreat your legs, I’ll feel sorry for you.]
Qin Muni threw the phone onto the sofa, laughing and crying, took out one of the shoe boxes, opened the lid, and glanced at the flats inside.
A warm feeling suddenly surged in her chest, like the scorching warmth when lying on the beach in summer engulfed by the sun.
It feels so good to be cared about, to be missed, even if that person is her ex-husband she should have cut ties with.
Xu Yisen comes to the restaurant every day at noon under the pretense of dining, but actually to chat up Qin Muni.
Sometimes, netizens would accidentally bump into Xu Yisen and Qin Muni chatting leisurely together in the restaurant and sneak a photo to post on Weibo.
Gradually, this seemed to become a much-talked-about topic among netizens.
Qin Muni also saw this topic online and directly told Xu Yisen that there’s no need for him to come to the restaurant every day.
But Xu Yisen earnestly said, "As a business partner, I certainly have to come to the restaurant every day to assess the performance, otherwise I would be too irresponsible!"
Alright, Qin Muni couldn’t find words to refute, so come if you want!
On this day, Xu Yisen came to the restaurant even before lunchtime. He didn’t order a few dishes and make Qin Muni sit in front of him to chat and tease her like usual.
Today, he just wandered around Qin Muni for a few minutes and then left.
Qin Muni felt that something was off with Xu Yisen today, but being too busy, she didn’t have time to think about it.
Near closing time, Qin Muni received a call from Tang Haoliang.
"Mm, Secretary Tang, what’s up?"
"Miss Qin, is the chairman with you?" Tang Haoliang’s anxious voice came through the phone to Qin Muni.
His anxious attitude, even over the phone, made Qin Muni inexplicably tense, "He came in the morning, why?"
"The chairman wasn’t feeling well today, and after coming to the company for a bit, he left. I’ve been unable to reach him and I’m worried something might have happened." Google seaʀᴄh NoveI[F]ire.net
Qin Muni then remembered Xu Yisen’s odd behavior in the morning. His face seemed very pale at the time, and his tone was a bit weak, not as confident as usual.
"Have you checked his house?"
"Miss Qin, there are still some important matters at the company that need my attention. Could I trouble you to check if the chairman is okay at his house?"
