Chapter 172 - Marrying A Rich Lady (5)

After work, Jiang Duo really invited Ming Shu to her place for dinner.

The house was not big, but it was clean and warm.

“I was really terrified today.” Sitting at the table, Jiang Duo still had a lingering fear. “Fortunately, Secretary Zhou appeared in time, otherwise we’d be all miserable.”

Ming Shu was dedicated in her fighting with the food.

After a while, she took the time to answer, “Do you think that Secretary Zhou was so idle as to care about us?”

“Umm…” Jiang Duo’s chubby face showed slight confusion.

“You bring me delicious food in the future, and I’ll protect you.” Ming Shu winked at Jiang Duo.

I haven’t had such delicious food in a long time.

The cooking skills of the little girl with a female protagonist’s aura are better than ordinary people’s.

Jiang Duo’s round eyes widened and she looked very curious. “How did you do it?”

“Yum yum…”

Ming Shu didn’t intend to answer Jiang Duo’s questions anymore.

Seeing that Ming Shu was about to finish the entire sweet and sour fish, Jiang Duo exclaimed, and immediately picked up her chopsticks.

She joined in on the fighting.

After they finished all the food, Ming Shu used a kind of bright, crystal-clear, expectant expression in her eyes to force Jiang Duo to make another dish with the remaining ingredients.

Ming Shu finished it to the last drop.

This is called food and life.

…

In the next few days, the office was inexplicably well organized.

Nan Youyou was off from work for some unknown reason. Shen Yuanzhao and Jiang Duo were still getting along with each other as before. But sometimes, the way Shen Yuanzhao looked at Ming Shu was a bit strange.

Then on this day, Ming Shu suddenly received a call from Secretary Zhou, who asked her to go downstairs.

Shen Yuanzhao was waiting for her in his car, along with Nan Youyou.

What’s this for?

Nan Youyou was missing for a few days, how did she get together with Shen Yuanzhao?

“Boss Shen, where are you taking me?” Ming Shu stared at the traffic light in front of them while sipping the yogurt she bought on the way, and asked in a casual tone.

Is he going to team up with Nan Youyou and kill me so that they can inherit my snacks?

Shen Yuanzhao sat in repose with eyes closed and didn’t answer. Nan Youyou chuckled. “I heard that Miss Ruan graduated from Hengxing University?”

“I guess so.” She didn’t care where the Host graduated from.

“Hengxing University is not a school that ordinary families can afford. Students of that university usually come from either rich or noble families.”

Ming Shu stared at Nan Youyou and curled her lips up a little. “What are you implying, that my family is very rich? Can’t I get into school relying on my talent?”

The two made fierce eye contact and sparks flew in the air between them.

Nan Youyou clenched her fists.

In this life, she would not lose Shen Yuanzhao to anyone.

“Boss Shen, we’re here.”

Shen Yuanzhao never said a word from beginning to end. Reminded by the driver, he immediately got out of the car.

Nan Youyou gave a smile to Ming Shu before lifting her skirt and also getting off. She naturally held Shen Yuanzhao’s arm.

Shen Yuanzhao looked indifferent, but he didn’t refuse.

A handsome man with a beautiful woman, they caused quite a stir while walking over.

Ming Shu was wearing a casual suit and standing among this group of costumed goblins, which seemed a bit out of place.

But Ming Shu didn’t care much about this, and she directly followed Nan Youyou and Shen Yuanzhao.

“I’m sorry, Miss, but you can’t get in looking like this.” The waiter reached out to stop Ming Shu as she was about to enter. He told her this with an apologetic expression.

Ming Shu: “…”

Nan Youyou definitely did this on purpose.

“Oh my god… the young boss of Qinshi Group is here.”

There was a sudden hubbub from the crowd outside the gate. Even Shen Yuanzhao and Nan Youyou also stopped to look back.

A man in a dark blue suit came over, surrounded by many bodyguards.

The man seemed to have a spotlight following him, the shine of which made it hard for others to keep their eyes open. What a young boss!

Qin Che didn’t seem to look indifferent, nor was he expressionless. He had a slight smile pulling at his mouth, but it was not a real smile. It seemed to indicate an unpredictable craftiness, as if the next second you would fall into his trap.

Right.

It was a craftiness, and cattiness.

The cattiness that even his beautiful face couldn’t hide.

This kind of person was simply coming onto the stage with a villainous aura.

Since Ming Shu moved in with the Qin family, there were only a handful of opportunities for her to meet Qin Che face to face. Ming Shu didn’t even see him clearly that night.

But she saw him clearly today.

Qin Che walked to stand in front of Ming Shu. By virtue of his height, he looked down at Ming Shu and said, “Don’t make a fool of yourself.”

Ming Shu looked up and could see the sneer in his eyes.

An extraordinarily obvious sneer.

Ming Shu: “…” What did he mean?

Am I very close to you?

[Additional Task: Collect Hatred Points from Qin Che.]

Ming Shu: “…” You’re right on time, Harmony System.

[Well, well.]

Ming Shu revealing her smiling face. “Brother, isn’t it you who’s losing face, not me?”

Come on, just pour me some Hatred Points.

Brother?

Everyone started talking.

This girl was the young lady of Qinshi Group?

It was never heard before.

Was she…

The sneer in Qin Che’s eyes got even stronger. “I don’t have a sister like you.”

“What, brother, are you saying that you have improper thoughts about me? Alas, we are family now, you can’t…”

Qin Che’s face changed immediately. He grabbed Ming Shu and walked toward the entrance.

The onlookers outside were dumbfounded. Did they just hear a huge, shocking secret? Qin Che had a girlfriend? And he was into this kind of game?

Accompanied by Qin Che, the waiter didn’t dare say anything this time and let them pass.

Nan Youyou and Shen Yuanzhao watched Ming Shu be taken away. Nan Youyou’s eyes were full of doubt. How was she related to the Qin family?

Inside was an assembly hall. At this time, there were already a lot of people. Seeing Qin Che come in with a girl, they all looked over curiously.

But Qin Che quickly took Ming Shu to one side, out of sight of those people.

“What do you want?” Ming Shu tried to shake off Qin Che.

However, Qin Che held her with great strength. He pulled her into a room and quickly cornered her against the wall. His cold fingers held Ming Shu’s chin. “Didn’t you say that I have improper thoughts about you? I will certainly put them to practice. Dear sister, what do you say?”

Qin Che deliberately got closer to Ming Shu. His breath washed over her face.

Ming Shu didn’t avoid him. She looked up at Qin Che and curled her lips slightly. “Okay. Anyway, we’re not blood relations. We may have a child to inherit the Qin family in the future. How do you like that, brother?”

Qin Che’s fingers tightened. He stared into Ming Shu’s eyes.

After a minute, he let go of her and pushed her to one side. Then he opened the door. “The gown,” he said.

A blue bag was passed from outside, and Qin Che stuffed it in Ming Shu’s hands. “Since you’re a member of the Qin family, just be aware of who you are and don’t let me lose face.”

Ming Shu examined the gown in the bag and sighed with emotion. “You even prepared the clothes for our intimate encounter. Haven’t you been desiring of me for a long time?”

Intimate encounter…

Intimate…

“Did you prepare one for yourself?” Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled softly.

It was like the sun shining through the clouds. The whole world brightened.

There were rainbows hanging above. Blue sky and white clouds, as well as clear water and green grass.

Qin Che frowned slightly.

Before he could process the sentence, Ming Shu suddenly rushed over. She gave him a suplex and forced him to the ground.

You dare corner me!

Catty man!

Snatching my snacks!

Hm… it seems something is not right…

Forget it, whatever.

I’ll beat you to death!
