Chapter 275
The next day,
At the Qin Group headquarters building.
Qin Hanyue was in a meeting when a message came to his phone. Turning off phones during meetings was the professional etiquette, which their decisive chairman had always led by example.
Yet recently, their chairman had not only sent messages during meetings without any reservations, but even took calls.
Qin Hanyue reached for his phone on the table.
He didn't actually expect the message to be from Qiao Ying, given her bad mood last night over which he had been an innocent victim.
To his pleasant surprise, it was from Qiao Ying after all.
When he read the message content however, Qin Hanyue's mind rather embarrassingly short-circuited with a "hiss".
Thinking he might have read it wrong, Qin Hanyue read through the message again carefully, word for word.
He unconsciously sat up straight, his heartbeat quickening.
It was her usual tone, and they were all words he recognized.
The words were very explicit, so explicit that it made Qin Hanyue, in front of all his subordinates, somewhat ill at ease.
It was the first time he truly felt the power of the written word.
Could she really have meant what she wrote, and not typed incorrectly?
He took a subtle deep breath, keeping his expression unchanged as he told Qin Yuchen on his left, "You take over the meeting."
Then he grabbed his phone and strode out.
He seemed rather urgent.
Qin Hanyue took the elevator downstairs. After tidying up, he walked out the company entrance with big strides. Seeing Qiao Ying's car there,
he opened the passenger door and got in. Seeing Qiao Ying's indifferent expression in the driver's seat, he asked: "Did you type...wrong?"
He managed to swallow the last word back in time.
Looking at the girl's fair complexion and pink lips, the urge to be intimate with his beloved was simply irrepressible. So without any warning, he put his arms around her head and outright kissed her.
No excuses, kiss first and talk later.
Even if she had made a typo, he could at most get a couple cold glares from her, which he would gladly take.
Qin Hanyue thought to himself.
It felt like "striking gold" - he had to make the most of it.
With that in mind, he seemed rather impatient, plunging straight in to the main point without restraint, continuously deepening the kiss.
Sensing that Qiao Ying was not displeased and had even grabbed his suit lapel, seemingly a silent response,
Qin Hanyue felt his heart quiver, as if it was not the clothes she had grabbed.
No typo then?
Now back in his seat, Qin Hanyue was clearly still preoccupied, staring blankly at the computer screen.
Suddenly,
his expression gradually changed, as if a thought had struck him.
After the meeting ended and he was back in his office, Qin Hanyue checked the time then messaged Qiao Ying: 【Are you at school yet?】
Qiao Ying: 【I'm at the airport】
The guesses taking shape in Qin Hanyue's mind were now confirmed: 【Going where?】
Qiao Ying: 【Amna this time, to settle accounts with Dark Shadow】
Clearly her anger hadn't yet subsided, and Feng Ying's matter wasn't over.
Qin Hanyue's mood instantly sank. Now he understood - that was a farewell kiss earlier. No wonder she was still in low spirits last night, yet specially came over to indulge him today.
Qin Hanyue sent her a number: 【I have people in Amna, contact him if you need arms or manpower】
Qin Hanyue was Amna's biggest arms dealer.
Qiao Ying soon replied: 【A capable helpmate is certainly not bad】
Seeing her message, mistaking Qiao Ying's feud with Dark Shadow to be because of Feng Ying, Qin Hanyue now couldn't even be bothered feeling jealous of Feng Ying. He only worried about Qiao Ying's safety.
But clearly, she had left him behind to keep the fort again.
It was certain the place she blew up last night was one of Dark Shadow's territories - she had cleared out as much of the threat in the capital as she could before leaving.
Qin Hanyue sent her a number: 【I have people in Amna, contact him if you need arms or manpower】
Qiao Ying soon replied: 【A capable helpmate is certainly not bad】
Seeing her message, mistakenly thinking Qiao Ying's feud with Dark Shadow was over Feng Ying, Qin Hanyue now couldn't even be bothered feeling jealous over Feng Ying. He only worried about Qiao Ying's safety.
But evidently, she had left him behind to guard the fort again.
It could be determined that the place she blew up last night was one of Dark Shadow's territories - she had swept away as much of the threat in the capital as possible before leaving.
Qin Hanyue: 【I'll be waiting for your return】
Amna - an oasis in the desert.
Nicknamed the "much bigger Peruvian Huacachina".
But far larger than Huacachina, about the size of a county town.
In the endless ocean of yellow sand, Qiao Ying drove a black desert-trekking 4WD, shuttling towards the only oasis in the desert.
Sand flew as the car wheels left tracks that were quickly erased by the yellow sand.
In the distance, a line of camels walked by.
A few cars recklessly chased after hers for a stretch, the occupants yelling all kinds of nonsense at her.
This was no peaceful place.
