Chapter 272 - He was in Deep Trouble

Zhang Yu Han has been busy in his office the whole day. His phone would ring every few minutes with his family members and friends wishing him his birthday.

His sister and grandfather dropped by during lunch and dragged him to the coffee house and the three of them had a meal together. Since it was decided that his parents were going to meet with Li Qin Yao's mother on weekend, his family planned to celebrate his birthday together on that day.

Anyway, Zhang Yu Han had already planned to have a dinner date with his wife and later, joined his friend for a drink. 

Previously, Zhang Yu Han had wanted to gather along with his friend and brag that he was now a married man, but Su Ming Yuan was not around.

Now that their group was completed, of course, he has to gather them around and show off. Perhaps he would be able to make his friends cough out some red packets for him and his wife as well.

Shortly after lunch, Zhang Yu Han decided to walk around the hotel and visited a few departments for a spot check. When he came back to the office floor and walked past by his grandfather's office, Zhang Yu Han heard a familiar voice and decided to stop by.

Assistant Huo greeted him at the door and Zhang Yu Han knocked at the slightly opened door. As he peered inside, Zhang Yu Han found his wife chatting with his grandfather.

The conversation in the room paused when he showed up.

Zhang Yu Han glanced at his grandfather before he turned to look at his wife. "Why are you here early?"

"I had a meeting with the manager at the site earlier. Since the meeting ended, I decided to come here to wait for you," Li Qin Yao answered with a smile. "I went to your office earlier, but Secretary Tian said you went out for a spot check."

"Hmm," Zhang Yu Han nodded. He walked over to his wife and pecked at her cheek. His hand started to search for hers. Once he felt her warm hand against his, Zhang Yu Han had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Qin Yao, you should come over and visit Grandfather even if Yu Han is in his office," Zhang Jing said. "Anyway, you're going to see his face when you return home. What if you got bored staring at his face for a long time?"

Li Qin Yao laughed when she saw the sour expression on Zhang Yu Han's face. "It couldn't be. How can I get bored staring at your grandson's handsome face?" Seeing the proud look on her husband's face, the smile on her face grew wider.

Through her interaction with the two of them for a long time, Li Qin Yao was aware that Zhang Jing was someone who would love to joke around with his grandson.

Zhang Jing scoffed when he saw the proud look on his grandson's expression. "That's right. When you go on for a walk earlier, did you meet Manager Deng?"

"I did," Zhang Yu Han walked over to his grandfather and passed over a document. "This is the report he sent. He wanted your opinion on this as well."

Zhang Jing put on his reading glasses and started looking at the documents.

Seeing that the two of them started to discuss some work matters, Li Qin Yao decided to take a seat on the sofa and wait for them. 

"The previous report is in my office," Zhang Yu Han said as he stood up hastily. "I'll go and grab them."

"You should stay here and continue to discuss with Grandfather," Li Qin Yao said. She stood up and stopped Zhang Yu Han before he walked out the door. "I'll go and help you get them. Just tell me where did you put the documents."

Zhang Yu Han glanced at his grandfather and nodded. "Alright. The file folder should be on the top shelf. You should be able to see it, or else, you can ask Secretary Tian to look for it."

Li Qin Yao nodded and left once Zhang Yu Han told her what she should look for. 

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu Han continued his conversation with his grandfather. After waiting for a while, Zhang Yu Han began to realize that he had put the blue velvet box on top of his drawer. Fearing that his wife was going to find out about the ring, Zhang Yu Han quickly stood up and excused himself.

However, as he reached the door, Zhang Yu Han found his wife stood at his grandfather's office with a confused look on her face.

"What's wrong?" His gaze moved at the documents on her hand. However, he then began to notice that there was an additional thin pocket folder in her hand. A frown appeared on his face when he thought that the folder looked somewhat familiar, but at this time, he could not figure out what was in that folder.

"Zhang Yu Han," Li Qin Yao held the folder high. "When I pulled out the file folder from your shelf, this pocket folder accidentally fall over as well along with the contents."

"Oh?" Zhang Yu Han could not help but feel that there was a trace of anger in his wife's tone. "What was in there?"

"Why were you running a background check on me?" Li Qin Yao asked. She pulled out the contents and showed him what was written inside. 

Of course, Zhang Yu Han immediately recognized the paper. Back then, when he had found her again, Zhang Yu Han had asked his friend, Wei Jun Hao to look for her. And he had kept that information in his office.

"Previously, you have told me that you have investigated me because you wanted to find out what kind of person I am before you collaborate with QL Group," Li Qin Yao said. "But this one," she pointed at the printed date at the bottom of the paper. "According to this paper, you have been investigating me before we were close. This was even before I decided to take that project in B City."

Sensing her anger, Zhang Yu Han realized that he was in deep trouble.

"Why did you run a background check on me?" Li Qin Yao repeated.

Of course, Zhang Jing, who was also in the room heard the couple's conversations. He had wanted to intervene, but sensing his granddaughter-in-laws anger, Zhang Jing was frightened.

It was the first time that he had seen that expression on his adorable granddaughter-in-law.

It was at this moment that Zhang Jing recalled that he had asked Assistant Huo to run a background check on her as well. He then made a mental note to let his ȧssistant destroy that file before Li Qin Yao accidentally stumble upon that document as well.

"I can explain," Zhang Yu Han said quickly. 

Li Qin Yao crossed her arms across her ċhėst. "Explain."
