Chapter 48 : I’m willing

Mu Qianqian was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say a word and struggled beneath him.

Fu Sichan thought she was trying to escape and instinctively restrained her hands, pulling them above her head.

“Qianqian, speak.”

His deep, hoarse voice was close enough that she could feel his warm breath on her nose.

Mu Qianqian didn’t dare to breathe.

Why was Mr. being so, so direct today? He seemed like a completely different person from usual.

It seemed he was indeed drunk today.

“I-I’m willing…”

Hearing the answer he wanted, Fu Sichan finally released her.

The man removed his hold on her.

Mu Qianqian quickly scrambled off the sofa and stood several steps away from him.

She was breathing heavily, still in shock.

As the effects of the alcohol wore off, Fu Sichan’s clarity began to return.

He had been so muddled by alcohol that he did something like this.

Now, the little girl was probably quite frightened.

She might even cry.

Fu Sichan felt a worsening headache.

He pressed his thin lips together and coldly said,

“Forget what I said earlier. I was drunk and didn’t mean it.”

Mu Qianqian covered her burning cheeks and ran back to the guest bedroom.

Fu Sichan intended to follow but was met with a closed door.

For the first time, the formidable CEO Fu had been turned away by a woman.

—

Mu Qianqian went to work at Yun Cheng Hotel.

The guests hadn’t arrived yet, so everyone was chatting in the lounge.

Wang Yanru strode in wearing a very expensive-looking suit jacket, flaunting it with great pride.

“Yanru, where did you get this outfit? If I’m not mistaken, it’s a men’s style, right?”

“Wow, judging by the craftsmanship, it looks like it’s from that famous Italian brand? Each piece starts at six figures.”

“Yanru, have you started seeing a wealthy young master? It looks like you’re about to get what you wished for.”

These words of admiration and praise made Wang Yanru feel quite elated.

She lovingly caressed the suit jacket, her tone filled with pride.

“This one was given to me by the young master of the Ye family.”

After saying that, she cast a disdainful glance at Mu Qianqian.

“Wow, is it the Ye family from Su City, the top family? I heard they are about to marry into the Lu family, according to the financial news.”

They entertained many prominent guests every day, people of high status in Bei City.

To better serve these distinguished guests, they naturally needed to keep an eye on the business world’s latest developments.

Wang Yanru hastily added, “Don’t get it wrong, it’s the Ye family’s young lady who is getting married to the young master of the Lu family. The Ye young master is not engaged.”

Everyone was astute and immediately understood the implications of Wang Yanru’s words.

“Then we should congratulate you in advance, Yanru.”

“If the Ye young master takes a liking to you, you’ll be set for life, and we won’t be able to curry favor with you.”

These remarks made Wang Yanru’s heart bloom with pride, and her satisfaction was plain to see.

She feigned modesty and said, “Oh, it’s not even a thing yet. Don’t spread rumors. I’m just friends with the Ye young master.”

Wang Yanru fiddled with her bright red long nails and once again gave Mu Qianqian a pointed look.

No matter how scheming Mu Qianqian was, she was just a blind person.

Wang Yanru only needed to use a few tactics to push her aside and seize the opportunity to shine.

Once she married into the Ye family, she would enjoy endless wealth and honor for the rest of her life.

From now on, she and these poor friends were from two different worlds.

As for Mu Qianqian, what was she worth?

……

During the lunch break, Mu Qianqian went to the fountain garden and sat on the steps, listening to the birds chirping.

Before long, Ye Wanqing came out to get some fresh air.

“Qianqian, I see you again!”

“It’s you, Wanqing.”

Ye Wanqing cheerfully ran over and sat beside Mu Qianqian. “What are you daydreaming about here?”

Mu Qianqian lowered her head. “Nothing much.”

She was just thinking about what happened last night.

The Mr. had been drunk and asked if she would be willing to have a child.

Later, when he sobered up, he apologized to her. She was so embarrassed that she ran back to her room.

This morning, to avoid the awkwardness, she didn’t eat breakfast and rushed out as soon as she got up.

“Have you had lunch?”

Mu Qianqian nodded. “Yes, I have.”

But she didn’t eat much because she was preoccupied with her thoughts.

As they were talking, Wang Yanru walked by in her suit.

Ye Wanqing immediately recognized it. “Oh, isn’t that my brother’s suit?”

“Yes, it seems it was given to her by the Ye young master.”

“Did Wang Yanru tell you that?”

“Yes.”

After hearing this, Ye Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

“Wanqing, what are you laughing about?”

“I heard my brother mention this yesterday. He said that when he was serving drinks, a woman intentionally spilled the wine. Out of courtesy, he gave her his own clothes.”

It was just a matter of courtesy, giving her a piece of clothing.

How did it turn into a “gift” in Wang Yanru’s story?

Mu Qianqian suddenly understood, “So that’s how it is.”

“This woman must want to return the clothes. This is going to be interesting, let’s follow and see what happens.”

Ye Wanqing pulled Mu Qianqian’s hand and quietly followed.

Wang Yanru arrived at the VIP room’s entrance, flicked her hair, and loftily instructed the doorman.

“Go tell Young Master Ye that I’m here to return the clothes.”

Taking advantage of this time, she quickly pulled out a mirror to check her makeup and hairstyle.

After a while, the doorman came out and said, “Young Master Ye’s assistant said that Young Master Ye doesn’t want the clothes anymore. You can dispose of them as you see fit.”

Wang Yanru’s smile froze on her face. “Doesn’t want them? How can his assistant make that decision about Young Master Ye’s clothes?”

“Whether the assistant’s words count is not your concern. Take the clothes back and deal with them yourself.”

The doorman was about to close the door, but Wang Yanru quickly stopped him.

“Wait, can you ask Young Master Ye again? I’m Wang Yanru, the one who gave the explanation yesterday. They even praised me for explaining clearly.”

The doorman looked at her with a sarcastic expression. “Do you really take flattery seriously?”

“What flattery? These clothes were personally given to me by Young Master Ye. If you report my name, he’ll definitely see me.”

“Tch, Young Master Ye is a busy person and doesn’t have the time for this.”

With that, the doorman closed the door.

Wang Yanru’s face twisted with anger as she stomped her foot.

Damn it.

It must be that the doorman was lazy and didn’t pass on the message. Otherwise, Young Master Ye would not refuse to see her.

Just an assistant daring to meddle in Young Master Ye’s affairs. If she ends up with Young Master Ye in the future, the first thing she’ll do is fire that assistant!

But right now, the urgent matter is how she can meet Young Master Ye.

Wang Yanru walked out of the corridor and saw Mu Qianqian and another unfamiliar woman.

She immediately changed her demeanor, putting on a charming smile and acting smugly.

“Oh dear, Young Master Ye has asked to meet me alone tonight. I wonder if this is a good time? I’ll have to think about it…”
