Chapter 15: Heads Together

“Hiss.” The slight sting of the hydrogen peroxide was a little uncomfortable, and Shen Muyan’s beautiful eyes faintly gathered a frown.

She admitted to herself that she was very delicate.

Qin Yanzhou returned to Shanghai after two days and met with Rong Jinyan and Baijing in the first place.

“Why didn’t you tell me!” She was hurt that he had to wait for the right moment to step in.

Rong Jinyan, who was usually so calm, was unusually quiet, clutching his glass of wine.

The two bumped into each other at a teahouse. Qin Yanzhou spat out a few words concisely. Compared to Rong Jinyan’s impatience, he was calm, and his words carried a hint of satisfaction.

“It’s all thanks to Rong Ye, only this guy is helpless in the face of this one,” he pointed at himself, incredulous.

He didn’t reply, his wine glass swaying slightly, the wine rolling along the rim, the fine light refracting through the glass and spreading out.

“That look, she’s going to wait for him to chase her, right?”

Qin Yanzhou was so proud, money, fame, and status were all like accessories to him, he had almost never actively pursued anyone.

“No plans.” He was temporarily unclear about his feelings for Shen Muyan, he just admired her and found her interesting.

“If I’m sure about something, I won’t hesitate to try.”

Rong Jinyan just shook his head, not wanting to get involved.

Shen Muyan was curled up in her blanket, chatting with Xu Yang. Initially, the topic was about herself, but as they talked, it naturally shifted to Qin Yanzhou.

“Is he handsome?”

“Handsome, but, he never smiles.”

“That kind of handsome, it’s not easy to make him smile.”

Shen Muyan couldn’t agree more, she felt compelled to defend him:

“It’s okay, he just scraped his knee, it’s not a big deal.”

“He’s still worried? I heard Shen Yunze say he wasn’t injured.”

“Qin Xian’er is so overbearing!”

Xu Yang was gradually drawn in, this was the first time she had seen Shen Muyan speak so highly of someone she had only known for a short time.

“Later, I’ll tease him about this, Sister Shen is super easy to blush.”

The conversation didn’t last long, and Shen Muyan was overcome with sleepiness. That night, she even dreamt of Qin Xian.

She dreamt that he yelled at her again for writing the planning document, this time she didn’t get it right, and she was scolded badly.

The next morning, she couldn’t forget Qin Xian’s clear and noble, yet serious face. It would be nice if he could be a little gentler.

But then she immediately shook her head, Qin Xian’s face was just like that, aloof and indifferent, it was his special charm.

——  Imperial View Garden ——

Shen Muyan was about to report the situation to her father, but when she swiped to call him, she accidentally dialed Qin Yanzhou.

She immediately hung up, but a few seconds later, he called back.

Curled up in a corner, she picked up the phone.

“What’s up?”

“Qin Xian, I dialed the wrong number.”

“It’s okay.”

Qin Yanzhou felt a little scared by the voice on the other end.

“It’s okay, but last night I dreamt that you scolded me, you were so fierce.”

“I scolded you? What did I scold you for?”

Shen Muyan mumbled to herself, spilling out what happened last night, her voice tinged with a hint of complaint.

His voice and appearance both made her feel protected.

“Is your leg injury better?” Qin Yanzhou simply changed the subject, he was worried about this issue, but it would seem too fierce if he asked directly.

“The bruising is gone.”

“I’m coming to the company this afternoon to discuss the bidding for the No. 1 Leather project.”

“Oh.”

…………

Shanghai had started to show signs of warmth, Shen Muyan walked into the company wearing a sleeveless dress. The air-conditioned air permeated the air, feeling strangely chilly.

Qin Yanzhou glanced up at Shen Muyan’s outfit and didn’t say anything, but adjusted the office’s constant temperature air conditioning a few degrees.

“Qin Xian, it was still blazing hot outside just now…”

“…Now it’s overcast.”

Shen Muyan noticed his action of adjusting the temperature, her heart suddenly fluttered, but she was afraid of being misunderstood, so she quickly explained.

“The weather forecast from outside, the assistant and the bodyguard hired by you…” Qin Yanzhou let Lu Lin deliver the coffee and documents.

“Every company bidding for the No. 1 Leather project is quite strong, we still need to carefully select two groups.”

Shen Muyan held her coffee cup with both hands, the hot coffee brought a sweet aftertaste, she added sugar, it was delicious.

Qin Yanzhou sat beside her, for the first time, he found her meticulous and patient, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each company and the profit sharing plan, his clear, steady voice was soothing and captivating.

“Qin Xian, I think Feiyang Group is not bad.” She occasionally added a few words.

The whole process was led by Qin Yanzhou, he patiently guided Shen Muyan to understand the details of each company, to establish a firm foothold in Shanghai, she had to be clear about every aspect of this.

Her head leaned closer, immersed in the process, the distance between them grew closer and closer.

He smelled Shen Muyan’s light, elegant fragrance, Qin Yanzhou raised his eyes, he didn’t say anything, his lips were very close to her head.

Their body types were quite different, and now she truly looked like a cat with an insatiable desire, her hair was on the side, her eyes were lowered, in fact, there was nothing special about it.

But somehow, they both felt that this distance was just right.

“Qin Xian, does Rong Family Holdings and Fengteng Group intend to participate in the construction of the No. 1 Leather resort hotel, or a resort park?”

Shen Muyan was buried in the documents, she didn’t get a response for a long time, so she slowly raised her head.

Her bright peach blossom eyes blinked lightly, her eyelashes were long and curled, the distance of less than a centimeter, Qin Yanzhou’s face was still flawless, as pure as jade, delicate and charming.

She was stunned for a moment, then she realized the distance was not right, and quickly moved to the side.

The moment was intense, the tip of her nose felt a little numb, but Qin Yanzhou captured it all.
