Chapter 4 Making a Deal

"Alright!"Qin Yu nodded.

As he started the car, he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the beautiful lady boss with tightly knitted brows, her cold aura palpable, clearly in a very bad mood.

But, Qin Yu rarely interacted with women, let alone with such a difference in status.

He had no idea what to say and after a moment of silence, he focused on driving.

Returning to Fragrant Camphor Heights.

Only then did Yan Mingyu's chill dissipate, as she casually instructed, "Tomorrow morning at seven-thirty, come pick me up!"

Then, striding forward with her long legs, she walked into the residential complex.

"Whew... finally off work!"

Qin Yu exhaled, locked the car, and rode his electric scooter back to the urban village.

Seeing that Xu Peng had not returned, he called him, "Big Head, are you still on a date? I'm locking the door—keys are in the usual spot!"

"Hehe, boss, I'm at the hotel, about to have some 'artistic exchange' with Lili soon!"

Upon finishing, Xu Peng felt a bit guilty for potentially hurting his single boss and awkwardly suggested, "I think you should contact that wife listed on your marriage certificate. If she doesn't want to stay with you, just get a divorce and find yourself a new girl! Otherwise, it must be uncomfortable for a grown man to be so stifled every day!"

"I didn't even get a phone number to begin with; where am I supposed to find her? Anyway, take care of yourself!"

Qin Yu replied gloomily and hung up.

Ever since he got married, the wife registered to him had disappeared. But, Old Yang had been good to him and even landed him such a great job.

So, Qin Yu had no immediate plans to divorce his absent wife.

The next day.

Qin Yu was waiting at gate three of Fragrant Camphor Heights at seven-ten.

At seven-thirty.

Yan Mingyu stepped out right on time.

She was wrapped in a tailored business suit and overcoat, made of wool.

Her figure was slender and her presence commanding.

"Miss Yan!"

Qin Yu immediately opened the car door for Yan Mingyu.

"Thank you!"

Having rested for a night, Yan Mingyu had forgotten her displeasure of the evening before, regaining her usual poise and elegance.

Upon arriving at the company.

Su Meng, while preparing breakfast, also made a portion for Qin Yu.

While eating, she craned her neck slightly and gossipingly asked with her palm-sized face, "What's Miss Yan's husband like? Is he handsome?"

"Uh..."

Qin Yu glanced towards the frosted glass door of Yan Mingyu's office before asking, "Was the person Miss Yan met with last night her husband?"

"Who else?"

Su Meng rolled her pretty eyes.

"Not sure, I was waiting in the car. But, Miss Yan seemed to be in a bad mood last night,"

Qin Yu shook his head.

He couldn't help but wonder why the wealthy and beautiful lady boss's husband would be in the urban village.

Could it be that her husband was the big brother of the underworld?

There was a nightclub in the urban village rumored to be owned by an underworld bigshot. Come nightfall, luxury cars crowded its entrance.

The nightly revenue could accurately be described as a bounty.

Otherwise, who in the urban village could be a match for her?

"That's a shame, no one has ever seen Miss Yan's mysterious husband even after being married for so long! Alright, I'll take today's itinerary to Miss Yan!"

Su Meng playfully stuck out her tongue and headed towards Yan Mingyu's office.

Soon, Su Meng came out with Yan Mingyu, instructing Qin Yu to drive them to Lan Xin Daily Chemicals to discuss a business deal.

Before long, the three arrived at the president's office of Lan Xin Chemicals.

The door was opened by a woman in her forties with short hair and seductive, peach blossom eyes.

"Miss Yan!"

"Miss Lan!"

The two female bosses exchanged pleasantries, then sat down to sip tea and discuss business.

After talking for a while, President Lan Xin glanced at Qin Yu, who stood behind Yan Mingyu as straight as a spear, and smiled coyly, "Giggle, President Yan really has an eye for bodyguards, she always chooses those with small bellies!"

Qin Yu was wearing a black suit that day, left open, revealing hints of his abdominal muscles beneath his white undershirt.

"Oh, President Lan, what do you mean?"

Yan Mingyu asked casually.

"Giggle, beer bellies..."

President Lan Xin's remark brutally landed on Yan Mingyu's face.

"..."

Yan Mingyu felt somewhat embarrassed.

She had heard that President Lan Xin's personal life was quite messy, but she was not like that at all!

"President Yan, what do you say we make a deal?"

Seeing that Yan Mingyu did not respond, President Lan Xin's gaze towards Qin Yu grew even more fervent.

"President Lan, please speak!"

Yan Mingyu nodded.

"Giggle..."

President Lan Xin stood up, walked over to Qin Yu, and sized him up as if he were a piece of merchandise in a display cabinet, "For this contract, I'll give you an additional five percent discount, how about you lend him to me for a few months? I'll return him to you after I've had enough of my fun. Tsk tsk, such bushy eyebrows and big eyes, and these muscles, he looks quite fierce!"

While saying this, President Lan Xin also placed her hand on Qin Yu's strong chest.

Um...

Qin Yu felt utterly ridiculous and even somewhat humiliated.

No matter how lowly his status, wasn't he still a man?

In President Lan Xin's eyes, was he just an object of amusement?

A flash of anger crossed his eyes, and as he took a slight step back, President Lan Xin's hand slid down, scraping against the necklace on Qin Yu's chest.

It was a sharp wolf tooth.

It was given to him by the captain of the Wolf Fang Special Operations Team back when he was in the military, and Qin Yu had always worn it.

"Ouch... my hand!"

President Lan Xin cried out in pain, her well-maintained, tender right hand now sporting a bloody wound.

"You damn bodyguard, what are you dodging for?"

President Lan Xin's face changed dramatically, and she swung her hand to slap him.

"Slap!"

Qin Yu, feeling nervous about injuring someone and worried that he might mess up this multimillion-dollar deal, feared that Yan Mingyu would fire him.

He dreaded returning to those early mornings and late nights of exhausting delivery work.

While he was still in a daze, his face took a solid slap.

"President Lan!"

Yan Mingyu stood up and looked at her coolly, "Do you think that we at Four Seas Corporation rely on selling our employees to make a profit?"

"This has nothing to do with you, President Yan!"

Still fuming, President Lan Xin waved her hand dismissively and glared at Qin Yu like knives, "Today, this stinking bodyguard either kneels and apologizes to me, or I'll have someone break one of his hands!"

"I..."

Qin Yu's face flushed with pent-up frustration.

But he knew that with President Lan Xin's high status, having injured her, he probably wouldn't get off without paying some kind of price.

"Hmph...!"

Yan Mingyu's mouth curved slightly, her voice light as a breeze, showing no trace of emotion, "Du Lanxin, Qin Yu is my bodyguard, he is my person, try touching him and see!"

"President Yan!" Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing Yan Mingyu call out her full name, President Lan Xin's face instantly changed. She had thought that handling Qin Yu, just a mere bodyguard to her, would be as easy as turning over her hand.

She never expected Yan Mingyu to personally step in and back him up.

She had to weigh whether it was worth offending Yan Mingyu just to satisfy her ire.

Thinking this, President Lan Xin immediately offered an apology, "I apologize, President Yan, my words just now were a bit excessive!"

"President Lan, you should apologize to him. Whether a person is exalted or humble, their dignity is priceless!"

Yan Mingyu pointed towards Qin Yu.
