Afraid that Qin Yue would still be angry about what happened in the office, Kan Chen bought a limited edition dress and apologized to her.

Qin Yue stood in front of the full-length mirror and tried on her dress. The dress that was worth ten million dollars complemented her aura perfectly. Unfortunately, the hideous scars on her face ruined her beauty. She slowly touched the scars, and after a long time, she finally put on her mask.

Through the mirror, she saw Kan Chen standing at the door with a gentle expression on his face.

He walked over, hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.

“I’m sorry for angering you. I won’t let any woman appear in my office again.”

Qin Yue lowered her eyes and recalled Lucy’s beautiful face. “Why did you choose me? There are so many beautiful and noble girls pursuing you.”

This was a question that bothered Qin Yue.

Kan Chen was deep in thought, and Qin Yue couldn’t read his expression.

“Because they aren’t you. If you mind, I won’t let any woman approach me anymore. To me, you’re you. No matter what you become, I will still remember the first time I met you.”

“Wasn’t our first meeting at that party?”

Qin Yue didn’t understand what he was saying. She remembered that the first time she met him was at a business meeting. After the meeting, he requested for her hand from her father, and a few days later, Qin Ze anxiously asked her to marry him.

“You asked me a question. In exchange, you have to tell me an answer. Why did you suddenly break up with Xiao Yu?”

When Qin Yue heard Xiao Yu’s name, her eyes turned cold.

Why did I leave him? Because he was my enemy, a scum, and a murderer. Even if he died ten times over, it still wouldn’t be enough to appease my resentment.

“He betrayed me,” Qin Yue said through gritted teeth.

“So, have you given up on him completely this time? I hope you won’t be as stupid as before.” Kan Chen observed her expression and kissed the back of her hand.

“When we get engaged, can you invite Xue Na over? After all, she used to be my best friend.” Qin Yue asked Kan Chen coquettishly.

Xue Na hid too many answers that she wanted to know. She couldn’t ruin her relationship with that woman so easily.

“Sure.” Although he didn’t know what she was thinking, he still agreed to her request unconditionally.

“Also, I hope that you can trust me. I apologize for everything that I did…” Qin Yue leaned on Kan Chen’s chest, her voice aggrieved.

“I admit that I’ve done many silly things in the past, but those were all in the past. Now, you can completely forget about my original self. In the future, I might do many things that you can’t imagine, but I hope that you can be my strong support.”

“I’ll surely support you. I can’t wait for you to become my bride and take care of you for the rest of your life.” Not knowing why Qin Yue was crying again, he smiled and wiped her tears away, then kissed her hair.

The couple hugged and kissed passionately.

Outside the door, Kan Chen’s butler walked out of Kan Chen’s study and placed some of the information that the latter had organized into the shredder. The words on the shredder were vaguely identifiable: The body of the leader of Menghu Gang, Scarface, had been found near the suburbs. There were no suspicious traces around, and the initial conclusion is that this wasn’t the first crime scene. A few days ago, Scarface had been arrested for illegally carrying a gun. It is possible that this was an act of retaliation caused by a conflict between gangs.
