Chapter 72 How Romantic

Thump, thump....After sending the message, Qin Yu's heart began to beat violently.

Yan Mingyu not only knew that he had saved her last night, but had also sent him a message using the identity of his "wife" Yang Xue.

It meant that she had accepted him, and the two of them could finally be together openly as husband and wife.

Instead of being the rich, beautiful CEO and her little sidekick.

Whimper, whimper....

A few seconds later, Yan Mingyu sent a long string of messages: I've never known who you were, I haven't seen you since we got the certificate. After returning to the country, I went to the urban village to look for you, thinking now, maybe that person wasn't you at all, and I mistook someone else for you, which is why I proposed divorce. But it's easy to clear up these misunderstandings, isn't it? We just need to meet face-to-face.

Hah, this rich and beautiful wife isn't too dumb, she knows she mistook Xu Peng for herself.

Huh, wait....

Qin Yu's smile quickly froze on his face, as he reread the messages and realized that Yan Mingyu had no idea who her "husband" was.

In other words, she still didn't know that her little bodyguard was her husband.

Damn it....

Thinking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help feeling a bit miserable. After thinking for a while, he texted: I heard that the bodyguard around you treats you pretty well. Between you two....

Whimper, whimper....

In the next second, Yan Mingyu replied, her tone somewhat stern: What, you suspect me of having an improper relationship with my bodyguard? I, Yan Mingyu, am not that kind of person. We haven't even divorced; how could I possibly get involved with another man?

Er.....

Qin Yu awkwardly scratched his head before continuing to reply: Do you really understand the identity of your bodyguard?

What do you mean?

Yan Mingyu replied coldly. She had just started to feel a bit of fondness for this "husband", only to realize he was a suspicious person.

If you like being so suspicious, then we might as well get a divorce!

Yan Mingyu's second message arrived.

Don't, you've misunderstood me. I don't have the slightest doubt about you, it's just that we can't meet right now, as I've gone out of town again and don't know when I'll be back.

Qin Yu could only "disappear" once again.

Feeling a bit discontent in his heart, it turned out that Yan Mingyu wanted to meet the "husband" she married and not her little bodyguard.

It meant that aside from their superior-subordinate relationship, Yan Mingyu had no romantic feelings for him.

This realization hurt Qin Yu a little.

If he met with Yan Mingyu now while she had no feelings for him, she might think he was deceiving her and impulsively divorce him, leaving him without any chance at all.

Sigh....

This is tricky!

Qin Yu felt a bit of a headache, not knowing how to make Yan Mingyu accept that her bodyguard and her husband were the same person.

Having waited for a while, Yan Mingyu didn't reply to the messages. He guessed that she was either getting an IV or she was angry.

Qin Yu tapped on his phone a few times, set his private number to "shutdown" mode, and then walked into the hospital.

Standing at the door of the ward, he glanced inside.

Yan Mingyu was lying on her side, seemingly asleep. Qin Yu didn't go inside to disturb her, just sat in the corridor.

Continuing his duties as a "bodyguard".

After staying in the hospital for about two days, Yan Mingyu was discharged.

During this period, the East Sea police came by, asked a few details, made a report, and then left.

Returning to the company's entrance.

Qin Yu had just parked the car when he saw fresh flowers, lit candles, and a huge banner not far away.

Was Kong Jingtai causing trouble again?

Qin Yu's eyelids twitched, wasn't the lesson from last time he crashed his car enough?

Many onlookers were filming with their phones.

So romantic!

It was just uncertain whether Yan Mingyu, the female lead, would accept his proposal or not!

"Mingyu, I love you!"

Kong Jingtai stood in the center of the candles, holding a megaphone, staring at the tightly closed car window, and shouted affectionately.

"Qin Yu, you handle this!"

Yan Mingyu frowned from the back seat, her tone filled with disgust.

"Hmm!"

Qin Yu got out of the car, glanced at Kong Jingtai, and walked straight into the company.

What the heck?

Kong Jingtai's heart leapt with joy. It seemed that Yan Mingyu, this prized bloom of humanity, had finally been moved by him.

That's why she had sent her bodyguard away and was willing to accept his confession alone.

"Mingyu, I swear, for my whole life…"

Kong Jingtai's face beamed with excitement as he continued his confession through the megaphone.

Tsk...

However, Qin Yu returned with a fire extinguisher in hand and began spraying the ground's candles.

"Mr. Kong, it's May now, so hot. What if your candles cause a fire? Even if there's no fire, it's not good for the flowers and plants either!"

Qin Yu said earnestly. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Ah... ah..."

Kong Jingtai, hardly able to open his eyes due to the extinguisher's dust, could only retreat while clamoring, "There aren't any flowers or plants here. What is this meddlesome bodyguard doing?"

"I'm the Safety Assistant of Four Seas Corporation. I say there are, so there are!"

Qin Yu decisively sprayed Kong Jingtai with the fire extinguisher.

What was once a sharply dressed handsome man became a "snowman" covered in powder within seconds.

Only two resentful eyes were left blinking through the mess.

"Hahaha…"

The onlookers burst into laughter at Kong Jingtai's comical appearance.

"You'll wait and see, you lousy bodyguard!"

Kong Jingtai glared at Qin Yu before angrily squeezing into a Mercedes parked by the road.

"Hehe, President Yan, all taken care of!"

Qin Yu grinned obsequiously at Yan Mingyu inside the car.

"Squeak..."

Yan Mingyu pushed open the car door and got out, nodding slightly, "Take the car to the garage!"

After speaking, she walked briskly with her long legs, heading straight into the company.

At noon.

After eating lunch in the company cafeteria, Qin Yu returned to the office and opened his personal number to see if the home loan had been approved.

Just then, he got a message on WeChat.

Seeing it was from Li Lu, he clicked to read.

She said she had finalized her divorce that morning and planned to leave East Sea soon. But before leaving, she wanted to meet with her high school classmates, including Qin Yu, in East Sea.

He and Li Lu were from the same town and had attended the same high school.

Therefore, she messaged to ask if Qin Yu was free that evening to attend the reunion she was organizing.

"...Okay, what time does it start, and where?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment and agreed to come.

Since Li Lu was leaving, he didn't know when they would meet again, and since other high school classmates would be there, he figured he might as well join the gathering.

"It should be after six o'clock, I guess. The hotel hasn't been confirmed yet. I'll send you the location later!"

Li Lu replied over WeChat.

"Hmm!"

Qin Yu replied, then closed WeChat and turned off his personal number.

Next, he knocked on Yan Mingyu's office door and entered after getting permission.

"Something up?"

Yan Mingyu looked up at Qin Yu.

"President Yan, I'd like to borrow a car to go to a gathering tonight!"

Qin Yu said.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but he didn't want to experience those lowbrow moments from short videos, where classmates look down on each other because of their cars, happening to him.
