Chapter 35: The First Activity of the Date—Watching a Cheating Scandal Unfold

When Yin Hanyu returned with a large bouquet of fresh, vibrant roses, the employees of Yin Group were completely dumbfounded!

Wasn’t their president someone who disliked flowers?

They still remembered when Third Young Master once placed a vase of flowers in his office—he was so furious that he grabbed the bouquet and chased Third Young Master around, trying to hit him.

And yet, now the president actually bought flowers himself?

Not only that, but roses?

Was their president in love?!

The employees were dying of curiosity, but none dared to ask.

The first to speak up was Yin Yichen: “Bro, did you buy the flowers for that little demoness?”

Before Yin Hanyu could respond, Yin Yichen dug his own grave by adding, “Bro, seriously? What era are we in? Why are you still giving roses? Isn’t that outdated and cliché?”

Yin Hanyu’s face instantly darkened, and he kicked Yin Yichen: “You’re the outdated one! You’re the cliché one! Your whole family is outdated and cliché!”

Yin Yichen: “…”

Well, technically, that wasn’t wrong.

“What should I give that isn’t outdated or cliché?” Yin Hanyu shot a glare at his brother, still holding a grudge over something that happened a long time ago. “Chrysanthemums?”

He had once taken Yin Yichen’s bad advice and given Lin Qingyou a bouquet of chrysanthemums on Valentine’s Day.

Lin Qingyou had been so enraged that she threw the bouquet right at his face.

Later, when he returned to his office, he saw that Yin Yichen had placed yet another vase of chrysanthemums on his desk.

Yin Hanyu couldn’t take it anymore.

He picked up the chrysanthemums and beat Yin Yichen with them.

It was only because of his kind heart that Yin Yichen survived that day.

“Bro, be reasonable! You can’t blame me for that!”

Yin Yichen still felt wronged. He had bought purple chrysanthemums, thinking they suited his brother’s noble and mysterious aura.

But his brother had gifted Lin Qingyou white and yellow chrysanthemums.

Honestly, Lin Qingyou was already being kind by not beating him to death.

“Uh-huh…” Yin Hanyu shot a dagger-like look at him.

Sensing danger, Yin Yichen quickly changed the subject.

He handed over a thick stack of documents. “Bro, here’s everything you asked me to compile. Let me know if anything needs to be added.”

Without even glancing at the documents, Yin Hanyu said, “Just send them to Bai Yanli.”

Yin Yichen smirked. “So, all your hard work over the past few days is just going to be credited to Bai Yanli?”

“Better him than letting Leng Yifeng get his hands on it.”

Right now, the Jiang family trusted Leng Yifeng the most.

If he got involved, the Jiang family would only align themselves with him even more.

The Jiang family didn’t have much power or foundation, but they did have money.

Because of the pandemic, they had made a fortune over the past few years.

And money was exactly what Leng Yifeng needed the most.

Unlike the Jiang family, the Leng family was an old aristocratic clan with deep roots and a great reputation.

But over the past few decades, they had been declining.

At this point, Leng Corporation barely had any liquidity left.

“Consider it a favor for Bai Yanli.” Yin Hanyu didn’t care about the Jiang family’s money.

What he wanted was to completely eliminate Jiang Zhuocheng, leaving him with no way to come back and hurt Lin Qingyou again.

At exactly six o’clock, Lin Qingyou left work on time.

As she walked out, she cheerfully told her still-working employees, “Alright, beauties and handsome folks, it’s time to clock out! If you have a date, go on your date! If you’re heading home, go home now!”

Her enthusiasm lifted everyone’s spirits.

“Boss, you’re the best! Our old boss used to make us work ourselves to death!”

“Working overtime won’t make the company a fortune anyway,” Lin Qingyou said generously. “From now on, leave on time. If you absolutely have to work overtime, I’ll make sure you get extra pay, extra meals, and extra benefits!”

“Woohoo! Long live our boss! With this kind of mindset, you’re sure to get rich and have all your dreams come true!”

“Haha! Then I’ll take your good wishes!”

“Bye-bye!”

Lin Qingyou waved, grabbed her bag, and dashed out of the office.

A date! A date! A date!

She was finally going on a date!!!

As soon as she stepped outside, she spotted Yin Hanyu’s Rolls-Royce Phantom parked nearby.

She immediately ran over.

Seeing her approach, Yin Hanyu quickly checked himself in the mirror, adjusting his hair and collar.

From the driver’s seat, Assistant Xu could barely hold back a laugh.

Their boss was so innocent when it came to love.

The date hadn’t even started yet, but Yin Hanyu had been nervous the whole way there.

Well, it was his first-ever date.

“You even changed outfits?” Lin Qingyou teased as she looked at him.

He was no longer wearing the same clothes from that afternoon.

Yin Hanyu awkwardly muttered, “The other outfit was uncomfortable, so I changed. It wasn’t because of the date.”

Lin Qingyou: “…”

Assistant Xu: “…”

Boss, why are you trying so hard to deny it?

And really, all your clothes are custom-made from the finest materials. How uncomfortable could they be?

Lin Qingyou smiled and took Yin Hanyu’s arm. “Of course, of course. You didn’t change because of the date—you changed because it’s me you’re dating.”

Yin Hanyu: “…”

She wasn’t wrong, but did she have to say it out loud?

“I—”

“Baby, no need to explain, I understand…” Lin Qingyou gave him a playful wink.

Yin Hanyu’s face instantly flushed, and he quickly looked away.

“You’re just too adorable, Yin Hanyu…”

“Lin Qingyou, you shameless woman! Stop right there!”

Suddenly, an enraged voice rang out.

Lin Qingyou turned around and saw Jiang’s mother storming toward her, looking like she was ready to strangle someone.

Yin Hanyu immediately pulled Lin Qingyou behind him.

Seeing the stormy look on Yin Hanyu’s face, Jiang’s mother instinctively took two steps back.

Lin Qingyou was already annoyed just seeing her. But since she was an elder, she couldn’t just beat her up as she pleased.

“Madam Jiang, what do you want this time? If it’s about your son, then all you can do is wait for him to get out of prison.”

“You—! It’s your fault my son ended up like this!” Jiang’s mother was so furious that she raised her hand, ready to strike Lin Qingyou.

But with Yin Hanyu standing in front of her like an immovable wall, she didn’t dare.

Yin Hanyu’s eyes darkened, and his voice turned ice-cold. “Old hag, try touching her, and see what happens.”

“Who are you calling an old hag?!”

“If the shoe fits.”

“You—!”

“Enough.” Yin Hanyu sneered. “Instead of standing here throwing a tantrum, maybe you should go check on your husband. Otherwise, once his other son is born, you’ll not only lose your son and have a cheating husband—you might even get kicked out by the mistress and her son.”

“Oh… wait…” He smirked. “Not a mistress. More like Mistress Number Five.”

Jiang’s mother: “…”

“What do you mean?!” She felt a deep sense of unease.

“Why don’t you go to Wutong Garden, Building 1, Unit 2, Apartment 202 and find out for yourself?”

Jiang’s mother, being the impulsive type, acted immediately.

To speed things up, Yin Hanyu even had Assistant Xu drive her there.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingyou happily hopped into her own car with Yin Hanyu.

But just as he was about to start the engine, Lin Qingyou tilted her head at him, blinking expectantly.

Yin Hanyu instantly understood.

With a helpless smile, he asked, “You want to watch the cheating scandal unfold?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Lin Qingyou nodded furiously, unable to contain her excitement.

After all, catching a cheater in the act was a rare spectacle!

“You…” Yin Hanyu chuckled, ruffling her hair before turning the car around toward Wutong Garden.

Lin Qingyou, delighted, planted a kiss on his cheek. “Hahaha! This is amazing—our first date activity is watching a cheating scandal!”

Yin Hanyu: “…”
