Chapter 40 I'm No Ordinary Person

"Uh...."Qin Yu was taken aback and blurted out, "Under these circumstances, shouldn't I be the one sleeping on the couch?"

"Whatever you like!"

Yan Mingyu couldn't bother to explain.

She had generously offered him the bed out of gratitude for his help, but if he preferred the couch, she was happy to let him take it.

Stupid man!

"Oh, then I'll watch TV for a bit before going to sleep!"

Qin Yu wasn't bothered at all.

She was the boss, and what she said was always right.

"Are there any pajamas in there? I'm going to take a shower!"

Yan Mingyu glanced at the bathroom and asked.

"Yes! Big Brother had someone prepare two sets."

Qin Yu replied.

"What about your clothes? Did you wash them?"

Yan Mingyu asked again.

"Hmm!"

Qin Yu nodded.

"Squeak...."

Without saying anything more, Yan Mingyu pushed open the bathroom door and walked in.

From the bathroom, she could faintly hear the sound of the TV in the living room.

This....

Yan Mingyu's delicate hand reached for the zipper of her dress, but she didn't pull it down right away.

After all, separated by only a door, there was still a man sitting outside.

Undressing in the bathroom felt as though she was bathing in front of that man without closing the door, bringing a sense of shame.

But she also had a strong desire for cleanliness and couldn't bear to go to bed without showering, or she wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

Yan Mingyu agonized over it for quite some time before finally pulling down the zipper of her dress.

Then, stealthily, she pressed her ear against the glass door,

fearing that Qin Yu might burst in while she was showering.

After a couple of minutes, when there was no sound from outside, Yan Mingyu finally turned on the tap, allowing warm water to cascade down her snow-white, proud figure.

All the while she was changing into her pajamas, there was still no sound from outside.

It seemed she was being overly cautious!

Yan Mingyu shook her head, dried her hair, then opened the washing machine. Outside the bathroom, there was a small yard, and Qin Yu was probably asleep by now, so she decided to help him out and hang his clothes to dry. Otherwise, what would he wear tomorrow?

Actually.

In the living room, although Qin Yu appeared to be watching TV, his ears were filled with the sound of rushing water.

In his mind, it was inevitable that some unspeakable fantasies would emerge.

But he was not a sleazy man and soon distracted himself by thinking of other things.

When he snapped back to reality, he found Yan Mingyu standing under the night sky, dressed in pajamas, hanging his clothes to dry.

Her careful manner resembled that of a virtuous and gentle wife.

It made Qin Yu feel quite embarrassed.

He was just an insignificant lackey, while she was a lofty, billion-dollar CEO.

A moment later.

Yan Mingyu returned to the living room.

She glanced at Qin Yu, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep!"

Qin Yu told the truth. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Probably any other man, sharing a room with a stunning beauty like Yan Mingyu, would be unable to sleep as well?

"Then... How about we chat?"

Yan Mingyu wasn't feeling sleepy either.

Of course, it wasn't because she coveted Qin Yu's eight-pack abs, but rather, she was not used to having a man in her room when it was time to rest at night.

From a young age, she preferred independence and tranquility. Part of it was her nature, and another part was to avoid her parents' endless quarrels.

After she grew up, she moved out of the Yan Family home and lived alone in the rare pine mansion.

She hired a female housekeeper to take care of her daily life.

"Okay!"

Qin Yu shifted a bit, making some space on the sofa for Yan Mingyu.

After she sat down, he took the initiative to ask, "President Yan, I'm very curious, for a woman of your caliber, on what aspects do you measure a man when choosing one?"

"Oh? Are you asking about my view on love?"

Yan Mingyu gently curled her scarlet lips.

"Yeah!"

Qin Yu nodded.

"First of all, there definitely has to be a visual appeal; I have to like what I see at first glance. Second, the man must have good character. Third, he must be faithful in a relationship. Fourth, he should have a certain level of emotional intelligence, and furthermore, respect his parents."

Yan Mingyu felt that she was actually quite "unsuccessful" when it came to love. But that didn't mean she had no standards for her other half.

"What about... personal capabilities?"

Qin Yu thought about it and then asked.

"Well, as long as he is not lazy and has an upward drive, he doesn't necessarily need to be very capable. Anyway, the money I earn is enough for two people to spend for a lifetime!"

Yan Mingyu spoke very earnestly.

The fact that she could agree to her grandfather's request and have a flash marriage with a delivery boy showed that she didn't care too much about the other half's status and position.

As long as he met a few conditions like having a good character, being faithful to love, and respectful towards parents, that would be almost enough.

"Hehe... that makes it sound like you're quite easy to pursue, President Yan!"

Qin Yu grinned and joked.

"Not easy to pursue!"

Yan Mingyu replied seriously, "As I said, the first requirement is visual appeal. Up to now, a man who can truly catch my eye has yet to appear!"

"Then your standards must be pretty high, President Yan!"

Qin Yu smacked his lips.

"Well, I'm not just anybody, am I?"

Yan Mingyu countered.

With money and good looks, as well as a family fortune of several tens of billions, it was not so easy for men to win her over.

"Hehe, you do have a point..."

Qin Yu chuckled, then he started to feel slightly overheated and couldn't help saying, "President Yan, why is it so warm? Did you turn on the air conditioning?"

"No?"

Yan Mingyu showed a puzzled look, and she wrinkled her nose as a faint strange fragrance seemed to pervade the air.

It even caused ripples to appear in her normally calm and desire-free state of mind.

"You... did you drug me?"

Yan Mingyu's face changed, and a sharp cold light burst from her eyes as she stared fixedly at Qin Yu.

"If I really had any designs on you, would I need to drug you?"

Qin Yu was extremely frustrated.

"Then what the heck is going on?"

Yan Mingyu tried to stand up to call Tang Chunjin on her phone, but she was so weak that she couldn't muster any strength.

"I don't know. Like this, I will go and find Big Brother and the others!"

Qin Yu, being a man, had a slightly stronger constitution.

However, when he reached the door, he couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried, and with a frown, he turned back to say, "President Yan, the door's been locked from the outside!"

"What?"

Yan Mingyu exclaimed.

Could it be that Tang Chunjin and the others drugged her and Qin Yu?

But why would they do that?

Had her mother Liu Nanyan bought them off?

Yan Mingyu's mind was in chaos; she didn't dare to trust her own judgment.

"Maybe... Big Brother and the others have been knocked out too. Someone is deliberately trying to mess with us!"

The first thing that came to Qin Yu's mind was that Tang Chunjin was the culprit, but the more he thought about it, the less feasible it seemed.

He and Yan Mingyu were like siblings; it didn't make sense for him to drug her to submit to him, a mere bodyguard.

At that moment.

In Tang Chunjin's study.

His wife bit her lip lightly, "Chunjin, are we doing the right thing?"

"What's wrong with that? You heard it when I took the call; I am helping Mingyu!"

Tang Chunjin said unconcernedly.

"But I am a woman too, and I can feel that Mingyu has no romantic feelings for Qin Yu. To let them..."

Tang Chunjin's wife trailed off hesitantly.
