Chapter 189 - Fragrance

When Ning Chen returned, he smelled great.

The moment Qin Yu smelled it, she frowned.

Ning Chen had never worn any cologne before. Why did he smell good today?

Moreover, this was Gabrielle from X & N, a series of perfume suitable for women. Containing the scent of citrus and white flowers, the sweetness would gradually increase in its after scent. It wasn't something used by men frequently.

"Why do you smell like this? Which woman rubbed it on you?" Qin Yu looked at Ning Chen suspiciously.

It was not that she did not trust Ning Chen, but for someone with Ning Chen's identity, no matter where he went, would attract swaths of women.

Judging from this perfume, the person who used it should be a woman from the upper class of society. At the very least, a high-level corporate woman. The person couldn't be considered composed, as Gabrielle's after scent would increase along with the sweetness, it would have a little sweet feeling, but the smell wasn't as pleasing. It was a little too ostentatious. If it was Qin Yu, she wouldn't go for this perfume.

She did not really like the smell of white flowers.

So now, she was also somewhat hostile to the smell of Ning Chen's body.

When Ning Chen saw Qin Yu's somewhat dangerous expression, the corner of his mouth instantly revealed a bitter smile.

"It's... It's a young lady from the Tang family." Ning Chen hesitated for a moment before telling the truth. He didn't do anything wrong anyway, so there was no point in hiding.

"Name." Qin Yu sat on the sofa and said calmly.

The Tang family? If she remembered correctly, they were one of the four prominent families. As expected, the other party was a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Tang Rou." Ning Chen answered the question obediently and then sat next to Qin Yu, wanting to hold her hand.

Qin Yu suddenly shifted to the other side of the sofa. The way she avoided Ning Chen hurt him deeply.

"Xiao Yu! What are you angry about? I do not fancy her." Ning Chen swore.

"I'm not angry with you, I don't like how you smell. Go wash it off your body, then only you come to me." Qin Yu said that she wasn't angry, but when she spoke, she didn't look at Ning Chen at all.

Ning Chen's EQ was extremely high, so he immediately understood. He turned to Qin Yu and looked straight into her eyes. Suddenly, he laughed, "Xiao Yu, are you... jealous?"

Qin Yu glared at him, but she denied. "Who's jealous? Do you think I'm such a person?"

Ning Chen nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, yes. My Xiao Yu would never be jealous..."

After taking a shower, the sweet smell on Ning Chen's body almost but faded away. Only then did Qin Yu allowed him to come close.

Ning Chen pulled Qin Yu into his arms and kissed her before tugging on her little hand as he said seriously: "Don't take it to heart. Today, I bumped into Tang Rou by chance. I've never seen her before. I didn't even know she existed."

"What's the situation with the Tang family?" Qin Yu asked in curiosity.

She had only heard of the four prominent families, but she didn't know what kind of family the Tang family was.

"This... it's quite complicated. However, the Tang family's situation is somewhat similar to our family's. The older generation has been fighting for power, causing the Tang family's fortune to deteriorate. If the Tang family could unite even just a little, I'm afraid the Ning family wouldn't be as influential as the Tang family in M City.

Ning Chen subconsciously twirled Qin Yu's smooth hair and played with it, he said with some emotion, "However, my grandfather and the Tang family didn't get along in the early years, so I didn't have much contact with the Tang family. Our businesses are in completely different fields, so we don't have much contact."

"Then with did Ms. Tang come onto you?" Qin Yu asked in a strange tone.

Such a strong perfume smell, how close did the two of them have to be to leave such scent behind.

"Today, I went to a project meeting hosted by the government and stayed in a hotel run by the Tang family. When I got on the elevator, a woman squeezed in, she..." Ning Chen paused, then, he thought of an explanation, "She seemed to be drunk."

"Oh..." Qin Yu seemed to understand something and continued to ask, "And then?"

The perfume had some alcohol mixed in it, but it wasn't strong, so Ms. Tang probably didn't drink much.

Whether it was because she couldn't hold her liquor, or because she had other plans, it was unknown.

Ning Chen sighed faintly and said with a whimper, "Then she seemed to take me for someone and rushed up to me... and started hitting me, so I'm really innocent.. I even got beaten up."
