Qin Shu hesitated whether to greet him, so she didn’t look away. Han Xiao had saved her twice.

  In the end, she still looked away and pretended to look over inadvertently.

  Because she didn’t want to cause any more trouble, she would return to the Imperial College after dealing with Mu Lan and her daughter.

  Han Xiao was in a hurry to find Qin Shu. He saw a man standing there, so he only took a glance before he looked away and walked into the hotel.

  Qin Shu saw Han Xiao walk into the hotel, while she hailed a taxi to get in. She went straight to the mall.

  She picked out a lip glaze for Ye Xue because her lips were very light in color. She would look good with the lip glaze.

  When she passed the men’s wear section, she stopped for a few seconds. When she saw the tie section, she walked in.

  The sales assistant saw the good looking customer coming to the door and greeted her with a smile. “Welcome. May I know what you want? I can recommend it.”


  Qin Shu looked at a tie on the rack. It had blue stripes and was paired with a black suit. It would brighten up the view.

  She pointed at the tie and said, “Wrap this one for me.”


  “Okay, please wait a moment.”


  The salesperson packed the tie that the customer had specified.

  Qin Shu walked over and took out her phone to pay the bill.

  After paying, Qin Shu walked out with her handbag.

  She strolled around outside and returned to the hotel.

  In the hospital

  Qin Ya called Mu Lan and found out that she was in the hospital. She rushed to the hospital.

  When she walked into the ward, she saw Mu Lan on the hospital bed. She was wearing a hospital gown. The wound on her head had been treated and she was holding a gauze.

  She hurried over and sat down by the bed.

  “Mom, what’s going on?”


  “You still ask me what’s going on? What’s going on with you? You know that An Yuanshi and I are going to be together soon. How did you get involved in this?”


  Mu Lan was about to lose her temper, but the moment she moved, she was in so much pain that she could only gasp and question Qin Ya.

  Qin Ya was at a loss. “I don’t know either. I was drinking with An Yang last night, but when I woke up today, I was in your Villa.”


  “Could it be that you met An Yuanshi after drinking too much and was brought back by him?” Mu Lan guessed.

  “I’m not sure either. I just feel dizzy and don’t remember anything.” Qin Ya recalled what happened in the morning, she quickly asked, “Aren’t you with An Yuanshi? Why are you still with another man? More importantly, you were seen by so many people?”


  “I don’t know what’s going on either, but I’m sure that someone doesn’t like me and wants to harm me.” Just thinking about it made Mu Lan angry. She had been played for no reason.

  “Then what should we do? An Yuanshi doesn’t feel like someone to mess with. If he finds out that we are mother and daughter, will he vent his anger on me? And An Yang, I feel like An Yang is just having fun with me.” Qin Ya was a little scared.

  “An Yang is young. He won’t stop until he’s had enough fun. An Yuanshi is old and doesn’t have that much energy. There’s no chance between us. You have to seize it.” Mu Lan grabbed Qin Ya’s arm and said.

  “But, An Yang, we haven’t split up yet. What if An Yuanshi finds out? Wouldn’t that be the end of it?” Qin Ya felt that it was too risky.

  “What do you know? Go and break up with An Yang, when your relationship with An Yuanshi is confirmed, as he is An Yang’s father, An Yang at most will feel uncomfortable in his heart, he will definitely not reveal your relationship. The rich and powerful families’ politics run deep, and they have to take care of their appearance. It’s not easy for us to climb onto one of them. How can it be so easy to find another backer?” Mu Lan explained.

  Qin Ya thought about it and felt that her mother was right. “Then I’ll contact him now and break up with him.”


  Mu Lan said, “You go and settle this matter first. Come and see me after the news has passed.”


  Qin Ya nodded and did not stay long. She carried her bag and left the hospital.

  After she left the hospital, she made a call to An Yang.

  The moment the call was connected, she heard An Yang’s impatient voice.

  “Where have you been? Come to my Villa quickly.”


  After saying that, he hung up the phone, not giving Qin Ya a chance to speak.

  Qin Ya gripped her phone tightly. She wanted to curse. What did he take her as? To order her around?

  But if she didn’t settle the relationship, once An Yuanshi found out, it’s over.

  She could only hail a taxi and make a trip to An Yang’s Villa.

  Ye Luo sat in his car. When he saw Qin Ya get into the car and leave, he also drove slowly to follow her.

  Night fell

  Qin Shu sat on the sofa and watched Boss jumping up and down in the living room, it was so restless.

  “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so hot-tempered?”


  “Meow” Boss raised his head to look at Qin Shu, still feeling a little uncomfortable.

  At this moment, Ye Luo came back from the outside and looked at Qin Shu who was on the sofa. “Qin Ya has already moved into Fu Yu Villa and is having a candlelit dinner with An Yuanshi.”


  Qin Shu did not show any surprise when she heard this because this was very in line with Mu Lan’s style. Choosing An Yuanshi was more reliable than the restless An Yang. What they needed was a backer and money.

  “Meow” Boss rolled around on the ground as if it was not feeling well.

  Qin Shu stood up from the sofa and bent down to pick up Boss. She rubbed its head. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”


  “Meow” Boss’s meowing sounded a little irritated, as if it was very uncomfortable.

  “I’ll take it to the vet.” Ye Luo’s gaze looked at Boss, reached out to take it, and held it in his arms.

  Qin Shu agreed with Ye Luo’s words. “When you come back, prepare a fish that it likes to eat.”


  “Sure.” Ye Luo carried Boss and turned around to leave.

  After Ye Luo left, Qin Shu sat back on the sofa. She picked up her laptop and opened it. There was an email from Chu Ciwen.

  She opened it and read through the contents of the email. It was the proposal she had written and was ready to launch. Now, it was just a matter of the details and the partners.

  As expected of an experienced man in the company, he even brought up details that she had not expected.

  Three hours later, Ye Luo came back with Boss in his arms.

  Qin Shu hurriedly stood up and went up to him. “What did the vet say?”


  Ye Luo said, “It’s allergy. The doctor gave an injection and prescribed medicine. It’s fine now.”


  Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. “That’s good. Why does it have allergy?”


  “The doctor doesn’t know the source of the allergy either.” Ye Luo placed Boss on the sofa and let him sleep on his own.

  Qin Shu looked at Boss. This was the first time it was sick. No wonder it was so irritable.

  She squatted down in front of the sofa. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have brought you out. I should have let you stay in the apartment, it’s very uncomfortable to have allergy.”


  “Meow” Boss was also very upset.

  Qin Shu smoothed Boss’s fur for a while and waited for it to fall asleep before she got up and went back to her own room to wash up and sleep.

  Ye Luo glanced at Boss who was on the sofa. After hesitating for a while, he bent down to pick it up and walked into the room.

  Then he went to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and released warm water.

  That’s right, gave Boss a bath.

  He felt that it might be because it didn’t take a bath that caused its allergies.

  Boss was in a daze from sleeping. Suddenly, it was drenched in warm water. Out of its fear of water, it jumped to the ground and ran.
